Overview

PCTEL, Inc. (“PCTEL”, the “Company”, “we”, “ours”, and “us”) is a global leader in propagation and
optimization solutions for the wireless industry. The Company develops and distributes innovative antenna and
engineered site solutions and designs and develops software-based radios (scanning receivers) and provides
related RF engineering services for wireless network optimization.

PCTEL was incorporated in California in 1994 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1998. Our principal
executive offices are located at 471 Brighton Drive, Bloomingdale, Illinois 60108. Our telephone number at that
address is (630) 372-6800 and our website is www.pctel.com. The information within, or that can be accessed
through, our website, is not part of this report.

Segment Reporting

Effective January 1, 2013, PCTEL operates in two segments for reporting purposes. PCTEL’s Connected
Solutions™ segment includes its antenna and engineered site solutions. PCTEL’s RF Solutions segment includes
its scanning receivers and related RF engineering services. Each of the segments has its own segment manager as
well as its own engineering, sales and marketing, and operational general and administrative functions. All of our
accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralized basis through the
corporate function. We manage the balance sheet and cash flows centrally at the corporate level, with the
exception of trade accounts receivable and inventory which is managed at the segment level. Each of the segment
managers reports to and maintains regular contact with the chief operating decision maker to discuss operating
activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment. As of January 1, 2013, our chief operating
decision maker uses the profit and loss results through operating profit and identified assets for the Connected
Solutions™ and RF Solutions segments to make operating decisions. The 2011 and 2012 segment information
presented in the financial statements have been presented on a retrospective basis reflecting the new Connected
Solutions and RF Solution segments on a consistent basis with the current period.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, PCTEL operated in two different segments,
PCTEL Secure, and the rest of the Company. Our chief operating decision maker used the profit and loss results
and the assets for those two segments to make operating decisions in 2012 and 2011. On April 30, 2013, we
divested all material assets associated with PCTEL Secure’s ProsettaCore™ technology to Redwall

3

Technologies, LLC (“Redwall”), a development organization that specializes in mobile security, military and
defense projects and systems, and critical national infrastructure. See Footnote 3 of the consolidated financial for
more information on the sale of PCTEL Secure.

Connected Solutions Segment

PCTEL is a leading supplier of antennas for private network, public safety and government applications, and
site solutions for both private and public network, data, and communications applications. PCTEL’s MAXRAD®,
Bluewave™ and Wi-Sys™ antenna solutions include high-value YAGI, land mobile radio (“LMR”), Wi-Fi,
GPS, In Tunnel, Subway, and Broadband antennas (parabolic and flat panel). PCTEL’s Connected Solutions
products include specialized towers, enclosures, fiber optic panels, and fiber jumper cables that are engineered
into site solutions. The vertical markets into which the antenna and site solutions are sold include supervisory
control and data acquisition (“SCADA”), health care, energy, smart grid, precision agriculture, indoor wireless,
telemetry, offloading, and wireless backhaul. Growth for antenna and engineered site solutions is primarily
driven by the increased use of wireless communications in these vertical markets. PCTEL’s antenna and site
solution products are primarily sold through distributors, value added reseller, and original equipment
manufacturer (“OEM”) providers.

We established our current antenna and site solutions product portfolio with a series of acquisitions. In

2004, we acquired MAXRAD, Inc. (“MAXRAD”), as well as certain product lines from Andrew Corporation
(“Andrew”), which established its core product offerings in Wi-Fi, LMR and GPS. Over the next several years
we added additional capabilities within those product lines and additional served markets with the acquisition of
certain assets from Bluewave Antenna Systems, Ltd (“Bluewave”) in 2008, and the acquisitions of Wi-Sys
Communications, Inc (“Wi-Sys”) in 2009, Sparco Technologies, Inc. (“Sparco”) in 2010, and certain assets of
TelWorx Communications LLC, TelWorx U.K. Limited, TowerWorx LLC, and TowerWorx International, Inc.
(collectively “TelWorx”), in July 2012.

There are many competitors for antenna products, as the market is highly fragmented. Competitors include

Laird (Cushcraft, Centurion, and Antennex brands), Mobile Mark, Radiall/Larsen, Comtelco, Wilson,
Commscope (Andrew products), Kathrein, among others. We seek out product applications that command a
premium for product performance and customer service, and avoid commodity markets.

PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the antenna engineered

site solutions market. These include radio frequency engineering, mobile antenna design and manufacturing,
mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.

RF Solutions Segment

PCTEL is a leading supplier of high-speed, multi-standard, demodulating receivers and test and

measurement solutions to the wireless industry worldwide. Our SeeGull® scanning receivers, receiver-based
products and CLARIFY® interference management solutions are used to measure, monitor and optimize cellular
networks. PCTEL’s network engineering services (“NES”) provide value-added analysis of measured data
collected during the optimization process. Revenue growth for these products and services is driven by the
deployment of products based on new wireless technology and the need for wireless networks to be tuned and
reconfigured on a regular basis. PCTEL develops and supports scanning receivers for LTE, EVDO, CDMA,
WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, and WiMAX networks. Our scanning receiver products are sold primarily
through test and measurement value added resellers and to a lesser extent directly to network operators. The
engineering services are sold primarily to network infrastructure providers and cellular carriers. Competitors for
these products are OEMs such as JDS Uniphase, Rohde and Schwarz, Anritsu, and Berkley Varitronics.

We established our scanning receiver product portfolio in 2003 with the acquisition of certain assets of
Dynamic Telecommunications, Inc. (“DTI”). In 2009, we acquired the scanning receiver business from Ascom

4

Network Testing, Inc. (“Ascom”) as well as the exclusive distribution rights and patented technology for Wider
Network LLC (“Wider”) network interference products. In 2011, we purchased certain assets from Envision
Wireless Inc. (“Envision”), an engineering services business based in Melbourne, Florida. The NES business
focuses on the radio frequency (“RF”) issues pertaining to in-building coverage and capacity and its target
market is relevant to our antenna and scanning receiver businesses. NES provides value-added analysis of
collected data to public cellular carriers, network infrastructure providers, and real estate companies.

PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the scanning receiver

and related engineering services market. These include radio frequency engineering, DSP engineering,
manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.

Backlog

Sales of our products are generally made pursuant to standard purchase orders, which are officially

acknowledged according to standard terms and conditions. The backlog, while useful for scheduling production,
is not a meaningful indicator of future revenues as the order to ship cycle is extremely short.

Research and Development

We recognize that a strong technology base is essential to our long-term success and we have made a

substantial investment in engineering and research and development. We will continue to devote substantial
resources to product development and patent submissions. The patent submissions are primarily for defensive
purposes, rather than for potential license revenue generation. We monitor changing customer needs and work
closely with our customers, consultants and market research organizations to track changes in the marketplace,
including emerging industry standards.

Research and development expenses include costs for hardware and related software development,
prototyping, certification and pre-production costs. We spent approximately $11.1 million, $9.3 million, and
$10.3 million in the fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, in research and development.

5

Sales, Marketing and Support

We supply our products to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment

distributors, value added resellers (“VARs”) and OEMs. PCTEL’s direct sales force is technologically
sophisticated and sales executives have strong industry domain knowledge. Our direct sales force supports the
sales efforts of our distributors and OEM resellers.

Our marketing strategy is focused on building market awareness and acceptance of our new products. The

marketing organization also provides a wide range of programs, materials and events to support the sales
organization. We spent approximately $12.1 million, $11.3 million, and $10.4 million in fiscal years 2013, 2012,
and 2011, respectively, for sales and marketing support.

Manufacturing

We do final assembly of most of our antenna products and all of our OEM receiver and interference

management product lines. We also have arrangements with several contract manufacturers but are not
dependent on any one. If any of our contract manufacturers are unable to provide satisfactory services for us,
other contract manufacturers are available, although engaging a new contract manufacturer could cause unwanted
delays and additional costs. We have no material guaranteed supply contracts or long-term agreements with any
of our suppliers. We do have open purchase orders with our suppliers. See the contractual obligations and
commercial commitments section of Item 7 for information on purchase commitments.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, we had 449 full-time equivalent employees, consisting of 290 in operations, 58 in

sales and marketing, 63 in research and development, and 38 in general and administrative functions. Total full-
time equivalent employees in operations were 467 and 386 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Headcount decreased by 18 at December 31, 2013 from December 31, 2012 primarily due to reductions from the
TelWorx restructuring. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We consider employee relations
to be good.

Item 1A: Risk Factors

Factors That May Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Future Operations

Risks Related to Our Business

Competition within the wireless product industry is intense and is expected to increase significantly. Our
failure to compete successfully could materially harm our prospects and financial results.

The antenna market is highly fragmented and is served by many local product providers. We may not be

able to displace established competitors from their customer base with our products.

6

Many of our present and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, technical and

other resources with which to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of their products.
These competitors may succeed in establishing technology standards or strategic alliances in the connectivity
products markets, obtain more rapid market acceptance for their products, or otherwise gain a competitive
advantage. We can offer no assurance that we will succeed in developing products or technologies that are more
effective than those developed by our competitors. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to compete
successfully against existing and new competitors as the connectivity wireless markets evolve and the level of
competition increases.

Our wireless business is dependent upon the continued growth and evolution of the wireless industry.

Our future success is dependent upon the continued growth and evolution of the wireless industry. The
growth in demand for wireless products and services may not continue at its current rate or at all. Any decrease
in the growth of the wireless industry could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations.

Challenging economic conditions worldwide have from time to time contributed, and may continue to
contribute, to slowdowns in the wireless industry at large, resulting in:

•

•

•

•

•

•

reduced demand for our products as a result of continued constraints on corporate and government
spending by our customers,

increased price competition for our products,

risk of excess and obsolete inventory,

risk of supply constraints,

risk of excess facilities and manufacturing capacity, and

higher costs as a percentage of revenue and higher interest expense.

Our future success depends on our ability to develop and successfully introduce new and enhanced
products for the wireless market that meet the needs of our customers.

Our revenue depends on our ability to anticipate our existing and prospective customers’ needs and develop
products that address those needs. Our future success will depend on our ability to introduce new products for the
wireless market, anticipate improvements and enhancements in wireless technology and wireless standards, and
to develop products that are competitive in the rapidly changing wireless industry. Introduction of new products
and product enhancements will require coordination of our efforts with those of our customers, suppliers, and
manufacturers to rapidly achieve volume production. If we fail to coordinate these efforts, develop product
enhancements or introduce new products that meet the needs of our customers as scheduled, our operating results
will be materially and adversely affected and our business and prospects will be harmed. We cannot assure that
product introductions will meet the anticipated release schedules or that our wireless products will be competitive
in the market. Furthermore, given the emerging nature of the wireless market, there can be no assurance our
products and technology will not be rendered obsolete by alternative or competing technologies.

We may experience integration or other problems with potential acquisitions, which could have an adverse
effect on our business or results of operations. New acquisitions could dilute the interests of existing
stockholders, and the announcement of new acquisitions could result in a decline in the price of our
common stock.

We may in the future make acquisitions of, or large investments in, businesses that offer products, services,

and technologies that we believe would complement our products or services, including wireless products and
technology. We may also make acquisitions of or investments in, businesses that we believe could expand our

7

distribution channels. Even if we were to announce an acquisition, we may not be able to complete it.
Additionally, any future acquisition or substantial investment would present numerous risks, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

difficulty in integrating the technology, operations, internal accounting controls or work force of the
acquired business with our existing business,

disruption of our on-going business,

difficulty in realizing the potential financial or strategic benefits of the transaction,

difficulty in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies,

dealing with tax, employment, logistics, and other related issues unique to international organizations
and assets we acquire,

possible impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of integration of new
businesses and management personnel, and

impairment of assets related to resulting goodwill, and reductions in our future operating results from
amortization of intangible assets.

We expect that future acquisitions could provide for consideration to be paid in cash, shares of our common

stock, or a combination of cash and our common stock. If consideration for a transaction is paid in common
stock, this would further dilute our existing stockholders.

Note that we did experience a problem with internal controls and financial reporting of our TelWorx

acquisition in 2012 as described in the next risk factor.

We may experience problems with internal controls and financial reporting for new acquisitions.

The ineffectiveness of our controls and procedures over our 2012 TelWorx acquisition resulted in a material

weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as described in this Annual Report, included in Item 9A,
“Controls and Procedures”. The material weakness related to financial reporting irregularities instigated by senior
management at the acquired entity. The Company had not integrated this entity into its control environment or
subjected it to internal control testing for the year ended December 31, 2012. There is the potential that we may
encounter similar problems on future acquisitions or we may be unable to effectively implement appropriate
remedial measures in a timely manner. The discovery of a material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting in future acquisitions may negatively impact our operations.

Accounting irregularities detected with respect to the financial statements of the TelWorx entities may
result in our incurring significant professional fees and expenses and divert management time and
resources.

As further described under “Item 3—Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-K, following a self-report by us,

the SEC commenced an investigation arising out of the accounting irregularities we detected in the financial
statements of the TelWorx entities. We have incurred professional fees and other costs in investigating these
irregularities and in responding to the SEC’s related inquiries and expect to continue to incur professional fees
and other costs in connection with the SEC’s investigation, until resolved.

Our gross profit may vary based on the mix of sales of our products, and these variations may cause our
net income to decline.

Depending on the mix of our products sold, our gross profit could vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

In addition, due in part to the competitive pricing pressures that affect our products and in part to increasing
component and manufacturing costs, we expect gross profit from both existing and future products to decrease
over time. A variance or decrease of our gross profit could have a negative impact on our financial results and
cause our net income to decline.

8

Any delays in our sales cycles could result in customers canceling purchases of our products.

Sales cycles for our products with major customers can be lengthy, often lasting nine months or longer. In

addition, it can take an additional nine months or more before a customer commences volume production of
equipment that incorporates our products. Sales cycles with our major customers are lengthy for a number of
reasons, including:

•

•

•

our OEM customers and carriers usually complete a lengthy technical evaluation of our products, over
which we have no control, before placing a purchase order,

the commercial introduction of our products by OEM customers and carriers is typically limited during
the initial release to evaluate product performance, and

the development and commercial introduction of products incorporating new technologies frequently
are delayed.

A significant portion of our operating expenses is relatively fixed and is based in large part on our forecasts

of volume and timing of orders. The lengthy sales cycles make forecasting the volume and timing of product
orders difficult. In addition, the delays inherent in lengthy sales cycles raise additional risks of customer
decisions to cancel or change product phases. If customer cancellations or product changes were to occur, this
could result in the loss of anticipated sales without sufficient time for us to reduce our operating expenses.

We generally rely on independent companies to manufacture, assemble and test our products. If these
companies do not meet their commitments to us, or if our own assembly operations are impaired, our
ability to sell products to our customers would be impaired.

We have limited manufacturing capability. For some product lines we outsource the manufacturing,
assembly, and testing of printed circuit board subsystems. For other product lines, we purchase completed
hardware platforms and add our proprietary software. While there is no unique capability with these suppliers,
any failure by these suppliers to meet delivery commitments would cause us to delay shipments and potentially
be unable to accept new orders for product.

In addition, in the event that these suppliers discontinued the manufacture of materials used in our products,

we would be forced to incur the time and expense of finding a new supplier or to modify our products in such a
way that such materials were not necessary. Either of these alternatives could result in increased manufacturing
costs and increased prices of our products.

We assemble our antenna products in our facilities located in Illinois and China. We may experience delays,

disruptions, capacity constraints or quality control problems at our assembly facilities, which could result in
lower yields or delays of product shipments to our customers. In addition, we are having a number of our antenna
products manufactured in China via contract manufacturers. Any disruption of our own or contract
manufacturers’ operations could cause us to delay product shipments, which would negatively impact our sales,
competitive reputation and position. In addition, if we do not accurately forecast demand for our products, we
will have excess or insufficient parts to build our products, either of which could seriously affect our operating
results.

In order for us to operate at a profitable level and continue to introduce and develop new products for
emerging markets, we must attract and retain our executive officers and qualified technical, sales, support
and other administrative personnel.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our current executive officers and certain
key engineering, sales, marketing, financial, technical and customer support personnel. If we lose the services of
our executives or key employees, replacements could be difficult to recruit and, as a result, we may not be able to
grow our business.

9

Competition for personnel, especially qualified engineering personnel, is intense. We are particularly
dependent on our ability to identify, attract, motivate and retain qualified engineers with the requisite education,
background and industry experience. As of December 31, 2013, we employed a total of 63 people in our research
and development department. If we lose the services of one or more of our key engineering personnel, our ability
to continue to develop products and technologies responsive to our markets may be impaired.

Failure to manage our technological and product growth could strain our operations management,
financial and administrative resources.

Our ability to successfully sell our products and implement our business plan in rapidly evolving markets
requires an effective management planning process. Future product expansion efforts could be expensive and put
a strain on our management by significantly increasing the scope of their responsibilities and by increasing the
demands on their management abilities. To effectively manage our growth in these new technologies, we must
enhance our marketing, sales, and research and development areas.

We may be subject to litigation regarding intellectual property associated with our wireless business and
this could be costly to defend and could prevent us from using or selling the challenged technology.

In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving intellectual property
rights. We expect potential claims in the future, including with respect to our wireless business. Intellectual
property claims against us, and any resulting lawsuits, may result in our incurring significant expenses and could
subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidate what we currently believe are our proprietary rights.
These claims, regardless of their merits or outcome, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve
and could divert management’s time and attention. This could have a material and adverse effect on our business,
results of operation, financial condition and prospects. Any intellectual property litigation disputes related to our
wireless business could also force us to do one or more of the following:

•

•

•

cease selling, incorporating or using technology, products or services that incorporate the disputed
intellectual property,

obtain from the holder of the disputed intellectual property a license to sell or use the relevant
technology, which license may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or

redesign those products or services that incorporate the disputed intellectual property, which could
result in substantial unanticipated development expenses.

If we are subject to a successful claim of infringement related to our wireless intellectual property and we

fail to develop non-infringing intellectual property or license the infringed intellectual property on acceptable
terms and on a timely basis, operating results could decline, and our ability to grow and sustain our wireless
business could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of
operation and prospects could be impaired.

We may in the future initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our intellectual
property rights or to determine the scope and validity of our proprietary rights or the proprietary rights of our
competitors. These claims could also result in significant expense and the diversion of technical and management
personnel’s attention.

Undetected failures found in new products may result in a loss of customers or a delay in market
acceptance of our products.

To date, we have not been made aware of any significant failures in our products. However, despite testing

by us and by current and potential customers, errors may be found in new products after commencement of
commercial shipments, which could result in loss of revenue, loss of customers or delay in market acceptance,

10

any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. We cannot assure
that our efforts to monitor, develop, modify and implement appropriate test and manufacturing processes for our
products will be sufficient to avoid failures in our products that result in delays in product shipment, replacement
costs or potential damage to our reputation, any of which could harm our business, operating results and financial
condition.

Conducting business in foreign countries involve additional risks.

A substantial portion of our manufacturing, research and development, and marketing activities is conducted

outside the United States, including the United Kingdom, Israel, Hong Kong, and China. There are a number of
risks inherent in doing business in foreign countries, including: unfavorable political or economic factors;
unexpected legal or regulatory changes; lack of sufficient protection for intellectual property rights; difficulties in
recruiting and retaining personnel and managing international operations; and less developed infrastructure. If we
are unable to manage successfully these and other risks pertaining to our international activities, our operating
results, cash flows and financial position could be materially and adversely affected.

Our financial position and results of operations may be adversely affected if tax authorities challenge us
and the tax challenges result in unfavorable outcomes.

We currently have international subsidiaries located in China, United Kingdom, and Israel as well as an
international branch office located in Hong Kong. The complexities resulting from operating in several different
tax jurisdictions increase our exposure to worldwide tax challenges. In the event a review of our tax filings
results in unfavorable adjustments to our tax returns, our operating results, cash flows and financial position
could be materially and adversely affected.

Conducting business in international markets involves foreign exchange rate exposure that may lead to
reduced profitability.

We currently have operations in United Kingdom, Israel, Hong Kong, and China. Fluctuations in the value
of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies may impact our revenues, cost of revenues and operating margins
and may result in foreign currency translation gains and losses.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Our industry is characterized by rapidly changing technologies. If we are not successful in responding to
rapidly changing technologies, our products may become obsolete and we may not be able to compete
effectively.

We must continue to evaluate, develop and introduce technologically advanced products that will position

us for possible growth in the wireless market. If we are not successful in doing so, our products may not be
accepted in the market or may become obsolete and we may not be able to compete effectively.

Changes in laws or regulations, in particular future Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”)
regulations or international regulations affecting the broadband market, internet service providers, or the
communications industry, could negatively affect our ability to develop new technologies or sell new
products and, therefore, reduce our profitability.

The jurisdiction of the FCC extends to the entire communications industry, including our customers and
their products and services that incorporate our products. Future FCC regulations affecting the broadband access
services industry, our customers or our products may harm our business. For example, future FCC regulatory
policies that affect the availability of data and Internet services may impede our customers’ penetration into their
markets or affect the prices that they are able to charge. In addition, FCC regulatory policies that affect the

11

specifications of wireless data devices may impede certain of our customers’ ability to manufacture their
products profitably, which could, in turn, reduce demand for our products. Furthermore, international regulatory
bodies are beginning to adopt standards for the communications industry. Although our business has not been
hurt by any regulations to date, in the future, delays caused by our compliance with regulatory requirements may
result in order cancellations or postponements of product purchases by our customers, which would reduce our
profitability.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

The trading price of our stock price may be volatile based on a number of factors, many of which are not
under our control.

The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile. The common stock price fluctuated from a
low of $6.32 to a high of $10.07 during 2013. Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to
a variety of factors, many of which are out of our control, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

adverse change in domestic or global economic conditions,

new products or services offered by us or our competitors,

actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results,

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts,

announcements of technological innovations,

our announcement of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital
commitments,

conditions or trends in our industry,

additions or departures of key personnel,

• mergers and acquisitions, and

•

sales of common stock by our stockholders or us or repurchases by us.

In addition, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, where many publicly held telecommunications companies,
including PCTEL, are traded, often experiences extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often
have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies.

Provisions in our charter documents may inhibit a change of control or a change of management, which
may cause the market price for our common stock to fall and may inhibit a takeover or change in our
control that a stockholder may consider favorable.

Provisions in our charter documents could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or

prevent a change in control transaction that our stockholders may favor. Specifically, our charter documents do
not permit stockholders to act by written consent, do not permit stockholders to call a stockholders meeting, and
provide for a classified board of directors, which means stockholders can only elect, or remove, a limited number
of our directors in any given year. These provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making
tender offers for our shares, and as a result, these provisions may prevent the market price of our common stock
from reflecting the effects of actual or rumored takeover attempts and may prevent stockholders from reselling
their shares at or above the price at which they purchased their shares. These provisions may also prevent
changes in our management that our stockholders may favor.

Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more
series. The board of directors can fix the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of this preferred

12

stock without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The rights of the holders of our common stock will
be affected by, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be
issued in the future. Further, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may delay or prevent a change in control
transaction without further action by our stockholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock may
drop.

If we are unable to successfully maintain processes and procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 to achieve and maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting, our ability to provide
reliable and timely financial reports could be harmed and our stock price could be adversely affected.

We must comply with the rules promulgated under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Section 404 requires an annual management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing this assessment.

While we are expending significant resources in maintaining the necessary documentation and testing
procedures required by Section 404, we cannot be certain that the actions we are taking to achieve and maintain
our internal control over financial reporting will be adequate. If the processes and procedures that we implement
for our internal control over financial reporting are inadequate, our ability to provide reliable and timely financial
reports, and consequently our business and operating results, could be harmed. This in turn could result in an
adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial reports,
which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Facility changes

In September 2013, we entered into a new five-year lease for an office for our engineering services business
in Melbourne, Florida. Under the new lease, we expanded the leased space to 3,600 square feet to meet the needs
of our increased Network Services operations. The total lease obligation pursuant to this lease was $0.3 million.

Pursuant to an amendment to the asset purchase agreement for Telworx, we terminated the facility lease in

Lexington, North Carolina with Scronce Real Estate LLC effective October 2013. In July 2013, we entered into a
new six-year lease for an office facility in Lexington, North Carolina with the first year being rent-free. We also
extended the lease for the assembly facility in Pryor, Oklahoma for a period of two years commencing May
2013. The total lease obligation pursuant to these leases was $0.4 million.

13

All properties are in good condition and are suitable for the purposes for which they are used. We believe

that we have adequate space for our current needs.

Item 3: Legal Proceedings

TelWorx Acquisition

As further described in Notes 4 and 8 of the consolidated financial statements, following the closing of the

Telworx acquisition, the Company became aware of accounting irregularities with respect to the acquired

Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following commentary presents a discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and
results of operations by its management. The review highlights the principal factors affecting earnings and the
significant changes in balance sheet items for the years 2013 and 2012. Financial information for prior years is
presented when appropriate. The objective of this financial review is to enhance investor’s understanding of the
accompanying tables and charts, the consolidated financial statements, notes to financial statements, and
financial statistics appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Where applicable, this discussion
also reflects management’s insights of known events and trends that have or may reasonably be expected to have
a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition.

Our 2013 revenues increased by $15.4 million, or 17%, compared to 2012, due to higher RF Solutions
segment revenue from scanning receiver products and RF engineering services, and higher Connected Solutions
segment revenue from the acquisition of TelWorx in July 2012 which is included in operations for a full year in
2013. We recorded operating profit of $0.3 million in 2013, which included $0.3 million of restructuring charge
related to the integration and consolidation of the TelWorx operations.

The Company’s TelWorx operations were fully integrated into our Connected Solutions operations as well

as our internal control and evaluation processes as of September 30, 2013. The TelWorx acquisition was
challenging. Subsequent to the acquisition, accounting irregularities in the operations were discovered which we
believe were either at the direction of or with the knowledge of senior management of the TelWorx operations.
We conducted an investigation and as a result, accepted the resignation of the general manager of the TelWorx
operations and separated other personnel involved in the accounting irregularities from the Company, declared
that the historical pre-acquisition TelWorx financial statements filed pursuant to Regulation S-X should not be
relied upon, and concluded, as of December 31, 2012, that we had a material weakness in our disclosure controls
related to the TelWorx accounting irregularities. Additionally, unrelated to the accounting irregularities, we
determined that the projected revenue, anticipated margins, and future cash flows of the TelWorx business were
significantly lower at the annual goodwill test date of October 31, 2012 than at the acquisition date. The decline
resulted in the impairment in the fourth quarter of 2012 of all of the $12.5 million of goodwill associated with the
business. We made the decision in March 2013 to consolidate the kitting and order fulfillment operations in
North Carolina into our Bloomingdale, Illinois facility. The consolidation was complete as of September 30,
2013. As of that date the operation ceased to be an identifiable reporting unit going forward as all of its operating
results and cash flows are now completely integrated and comingled with the rest of the Connected Solutions
segment operations.

See Footnote 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 8

of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, related to the acquisition of TelWorx, and Footnote 6 thereto related to
restructuring.

Introduction

PCTEL is a global leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry. PCTEL
develops and distributes innovative antenna and engineered site solutions and designs and develops software-
based radios (scanning receivers) and provides related RF engineering services for wireless network
optimization.

17

Revenue growth for antenna products and engineered site solutions is driven by emerging wireless

applications in the following markets: public safety, military, and government applications; supervisory control
and data acquisition (“SCADA”), health care, energy, smart grid and agricultural applications; indoor wireless,
wireless backhaul, and cellular applications. Revenue growth for scanning receiver products, interference
management products, and optimization services is driven by the deployment of new wireless technology and the
need for wireless networks to be tuned and reconfigured on a regular basis.

We have 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.

Effective January 1, 2013, we operate in two segments for reporting purposes. Our Connected Solutions
segment includes our antenna and engineered site solutions. Our RF Solutions segment includes our scanning
receivers and RF engineering services. Each of our segments has its own segment manager as well as its own
engineering, sales and marketing, and operational general and administrative functions. All of our accounting and
finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralized basis through the corporate
function.

On April 30, 2013, we divested all material assets associated with PCTEL Secure’s ProsettaCore™
technology to Redwall Technologies, LLC (“Redwall”), a development organization that specializes in mobile
security, military and defense projects and systems, and critical national infrastructure. Under the terms of the
agreement, Redwall acquired the server and device software (the “Software”), the underlying IP, and complete
development responsibility for the security products. At the closing of the divestiture, we received no upfront
cash payment, but have the right to receive a royalty of 7% of the net sale price of each future sale or license of
the Software and each provision of services related to the Software, if any. Under the agreement, royalties will
not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate. In accordance with accounting for discontinued operations, the
consolidated financial statements separately reflect the results of PCTEL Secure as discontinued operations for
all periods presented. The prior period results have been restated to reflect this accounting treatment.

Revenues were approximately $104.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 17.3%

from the prior year. RF Solutions segment revenue increased $8.8 million (41.2%) driven by higher carrier
scanning receiver spending from a low point in 2012 and the rapid growth of in-building wireless network
expansion. Connected Solutions segment revenue increased $6.7 million, or 9.9%, of which $6.0 million or 8.9%,
is a result of having the site solutions products acquired in July 2012 for only half the year in 2012.

Revenues were approximately $88.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 15.6%
from the prior year. RF Solutions segment revenue decreased $3.2 million, or (-12.9%), driven by lower carrier
scanning receiver spending from a low point in 2012, which was partially offset by having the acquisition of
Envision acquired in November 2011 for a full year in 2012. Connected Solutions revenue increased
$15.1 million, or 28.8% of which $8.4 million, or 16.0% was a result of having the site solutions products
acquired in July 2012 for a half the year in 2012 and $6.7 million, or 12.8% was a result in growth in existing

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses increased $1.8 million from 2012 to 2013. Approximately $1.4 million

of the increase is investment in scanning receiver technology within the RF Solutions segment and $0.4 million
of the increase is investment in antenna technology within the Connected Solutions segment.

Research and development expenses decreased ($1.0) million from 2011 to 2012. The decrease is attributed

to the completion of the MX scanning platform within the RF Solutions segment in 2011.

We had 63, 58, and 56 full-time equivalent employees in research and development at December 31, 2013,

2012, and 2011, respectively.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales and marketing expenses include costs associated with the sales and marketing employees, sales

representatives, product line management, and trade show expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.8 million from 2012 to 2013. The increase was primarily due to

the addition of $0.4 million of sales expenses associated with the business acquired from the TelWorx acquisition
with the remaining increase higher incentive plan expense on higher revenue.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.0 million from 2011 to 2012. The increase was primarily due to

the addition of $1.0 million of sales expenses associated with the business acquired from the TelWorx
acquisition.

We had 58, 70, and 50 full-time equivalent employees in sales and marketing at December 31, 2013, 2012,

and 2011, respectively.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses include costs associated with the general management, finance, human

resources, information technology, legal, public company costs, and other operating expenses to the extent not
otherwise allocated to other functions.

General and administrative expenses increased $4.6 million from 2012 to 2013. $1.4 million of this increase

is attributed to increased incentive plan expense. Last year the incentive plan accrual was zero. The remaining
increase is attributed to the TelWorx investigation expenses, partially offset by the decline in the implementation
costs for our new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system. The project for the ERP system was completed
during 2012.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million from 2011 to 2012. The increase was due to

$0.6 million additional expenses associated with the implementation of our ERP system and $0.5 million of
expenses for the TelWorx business, offsetting the reduction of approximately $0.9 million related to incentive
plans. We incurred $0.5 million of general and administrative expense for the business acquired from TelWorx.

We had 38, 37, and 32 full-time equivalent employees in general and administrative functions at

December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Amortization expense was approximately the same in 2013 compared to 2012. Expense increased by $0.1

million due to the full year of amortization for the assets acquired from TelWorx in July 2012, and expense
decreased by $0.1 million due to assets being fully amortized as of the year ended 2012.

20

Amortization expense increased approximately $0.1 million in 2012 compared to 2011 due to $0.2 million
for amortization of intangible assets acquired from TelWorx, $0.1 million related to a full year of amortization
for the acquisition of assets from Envision in October 2011, offsetting $0.2 million lower amortization because
certain intangible assets for antenna product acquisitions became fully amortized in 2011.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

During the second and third quarters of 2013, we integrated the TelWorx business with our Connected

Solutions segment. The kitting and order fulfillment operations in North Carolina were consolidated into our
Bloomingdale, Illinois facility. As part of the integration, we separated eighteen employees resulting in
restructuring expense of $0.3 million consisting of employee related costs and asset disposals.

The 2012 restructuring expense relates to reduction in headcount in our Bloomingdale facility. During the

third quarter 2012, we eliminated twelve positions in our manufacturing organization. The restructuring expense
of $0.2 million consisted of severance and payroll related benefits.

The 2011 restructuring expense related to reduction in headcount in our Germantown engineering
organization. During 2011, we eliminated six positions due to the completion of several projects for scanning
receivers. The restructuring expense of $0.1 million consisted of severance and payroll related benefits.

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In 2012, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $12.5 million related to our TelWorx acquisition based on
the results from our annual test of goodwill impairment at October 31, 2012. This amount represented the total
goodwill associated with the acquisition. The projected revenue, gross margin, and future cash flows of the
business were significantly lower at the annual goodwill test date of October 31, 2012 than at the acquisition date
of July 9, 2012.

See the discussion of this goodwill impairment within the critical accounting estimates section of this

The effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34% by approximately 7.1% during 2013

due to state income taxes and income tax expense related to state rate change for deferred tax assets. The
effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34% by approximately 4.0% during 2012 due to state
income taxes. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34% by approximately 7.6%
during 2011 primarily because of recorded income tax benefits related to state rate changes on deferred tax assets
and the release of our valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets subject to Chinese income taxes.

At December 31, 2013, we had net deferred tax assets of $13.4 million and a valuation allowance of $0.6

million against the deferred tax assets. We maintain a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding
realizability. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2013 relates to deferred tax assets in tax jurisdictions in
which we no longer have significant operations. Significant management judgment is required to assess the
likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and the carryback available
to offset against prior year gains. On a regular basis, management evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax
assets and the need for a valuation allowance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview

At December 31, 2013, our cash, cash equivalents, and investments were approximately $57.9 million and

we had working capital of approximately $83.6 million. Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by
operations, with short term swings in liquidity supported by a significant balance of cash and short-term
investments. The balance has fluctuated with cash from operations, acquisitions and divestitures, implementation
of a new ERP system, payment of dividends and the repurchase of our common shares.

Within operating activities, we are historically a net generator of operating funds from our income statement

activities and a net user of operating funds for balance sheet expansion. We expect this historical trend to
continue in the future.

Within investing activities, capital spending historically ranges between 3% and 5% of our revenues and the
primary use of capital is for manufacturing and development engineering requirements. Our capital expenditures
during the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately 2.8% of revenues. We historically have significant
transfers between investments and cash as we rotate our large cash balances and short-term investment balances
between money market funds, which are accounted for as cash equivalents, and other investment vehicles. We
have a history of supplementing our organic revenue growth with acquisitions of product lines or companies,
resulting in significant uses of our cash and short-term investment balances from time to time. We expect the
historical trend for capital spending and the variability caused by moving money between cash and investments
and periodic merger and acquisition activity to continue in the future.

Within financing activities, we have historically generated funds from the exercise of stock options and
proceeds from the issuance of common stock through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and have
historically used funds to repurchase shares of our common stock through our share repurchase programs. We
pay quarterly dividends and have reinstated a stock repurchase program. Whether this activity results in our
being a net user of funds versus a net generator of funds is largely dependent on our stock price during any given
year.

Operating Activities:

We generated $11.4 million of funds from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2013.
We generated approximately $12.9 million of cash from our income statement but used $1.5 million of cash from
our balance sheet. Within our income statement activities, we used $1.1 million for payroll taxes related to stock-
based compensation. The tax payments related to our stock issued for restricted stock awards and performance
shares. On the balance sheet, we used cash of $6.1 million for the contraction of accounts payable. Accounts
payables declined due to reductions in inventories and due to the timing of vendor purchases during the year
ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. We generated cash of $3.1 million
from the reduction of inventories. We managed our RF Solutions inventory down from higher than normal
inventory levels at year end 2012. We also lowered our site solutions inventory as a result of the integration of
the Lexington business with the operations in Bloomingdale.

We generated $6.2 million of funds from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012. We

generated $7.0 million of funds from our income statement and used $0.8 million of funds from changes in the
balance sheet. Within the balance sheet, inventories increased by $2.4 million because of purchases to meet
higher revenues in 2012 and because our supply chain expanded with more of our production in China. Our
accounts receivable increased by $2.9 million due to increased revenues in the fourth quarter 2012 compared to
the prior year fourth quarter. Our prepayments were lower by $0.9 million during 2012 primarily because we
received a federal income tax refund of $1.3 million. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
$2.3 million was due to the higher inventory purchases in 2012 compared to 2011.

We generated $8.2 million of funds from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011. We
generated the $8.7 million of funds from the income statement and used $0.5 million of funds from changes in

23

the balance sheet. Within the balance sheet, inventories increased by $3.1 million due to the purchase of
inventory necessary during the implementation of sourcing initiatives and also because more production was
being sourced in-house rather than from contract manufacturers. A reduction of prepayments and other
receivables provided $1.5 million in cash during 2011 primarily because we received a federal income tax refund
of $1.6 million. The positive cash flow impact from the increase in accounts payable of $1.3 million was due to
higher inventory purchases in 2011 compared to 2010.

Investing Activities:

Our investing activities used $5.5 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2013 as we used $2.5
million of cash for investments and used $3.0 million for capital expenditures. Redemptions and maturities of our

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the period reported. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are
subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical
experience, market trends, and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, price is fixed and determinable, and
collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue for sales of the antenna products and software defined
radio products when title transfers, which is predominantly upon shipment from the factory. For products shipped
on consignment, we recognize revenue upon delivery from the consignment location. Revenue recognition is also
based on estimates of product returns, allowances, discounts, and other factors. These estimates are based on
historical data. We believe that the estimates used are appropriate, but differences in actual experience or changes
in estimates may affect future results. We recognize revenue for our network engineering services under the
completed contract accounting method. However, since most the services occur in one week or less, revenue is
generally recognized when the engineering reports are completed and issued to the customer.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Accounts receivable are recorded at
invoiced amount. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of a company’s financial condition

25

and collateral is generally not required. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated
uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on our assessment of known delinquent accounts,
historical experience, and other currently available evidence of the collectability and the aging of accounts
receivable. Although management believes the current allowance is sufficient to cover existing exposures, there
can be no assurance against the deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness, or against defaults that are
higher than what has been experienced historically.

Excess and Obsolete Inventory - We maintain reserves to reduce the value of inventory to the lower of
cost or market and reserves for excess and obsolete inventory. Reserves for excess inventory are calculated based
on our estimate of inventory in excess of normal and planned usage. Obsolete reserves are based on our
identification of inventory where carrying value is above net realizable value. We believe the accounting estimate
related to excess and obsolete inventory is a critical accounting estimate because it requires us to make
assumptions about future sales volumes and product mix, both of which are highly uncertain. Changes in these
estimates can have a material impact on our financial statements.

Warranty Costs - We offer repair and replacement warranties of primarily two years for antenna products
and one year for scanners and receivers. Our warranty reserve is based on historical sales and costs of repair and
replacement trends. We believe that the accounting estimate related to warranty costs is a critical accounting
estimate because it requires us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, including future
rates of product failure and repair costs. Changes in warranty reserves could be material to our financial
statements.

Stock-based Compensation - We recognize stock-based compensation expense for all share based payment
awards in accordance with fair value recognition provisions. Under the fair value provisions, we recognize stock-
based compensation expense net of an estimated forfeiture rate, recognizing compensation cost only for those
awards expected to vest over requisite service periods of the awards. Stock-based compensation expense and
disclosures are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include risk-free
interest rates, expected term of the stock-based compensation instrument granted, volatility of stock and option
prices, expected time between grant date and date of exercise, attrition, performance, and other factors. These
factors require us to use judgment. Our estimates of these assumptions typically are based on historical
experience and currently available market place data. While management believes that the estimates used are
appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect our future stock-based
compensation expense and disclosures.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.

Our operations have international subsidiaries located in China, United Kingdom, and Israel as well as an

international branch office located in Hong Kong. The complexities brought on by operating in several different
tax jurisdictions inevitably lead to an increased exposure to worldwide taxes. Should review of the tax filings
result in unfavorable adjustments to our tax returns, the operating results, cash flows, and financial position could
be materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and

other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our
consolidated financial statements. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the
application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our

26

estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be required. If we ultimately determine that
payment of these amounts is unnecessary, then we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the
period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We also recognize tax benefits to the
extent that it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained if challenged by the taxing authorities. To
the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or are required to pay amounts in
excess of our liabilities, our effective tax rate in a given period may be materially affected. An unfavorable tax
settlement would require cash payments and may result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the year of
resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction in our effective tax rate in the year of
resolution.

Valuation Allowances for Deferred Tax Assets - We establish an income tax valuation allowance when
available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be
realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider the amounts and timing of expected future
deductions or carryforwards and sources of taxable income that may enable utilization. We maintain an existing
valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal. Changes in the amount or
timing of expected future deductions or taxable income may have a material impact on the level of income tax
valuation allowances. Our assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax assets requires judgment about our
future results. Inherent in this estimation is the requirement for us to estimate future book and taxable income and
possible tax planning strategies. These estimates require us to exercise judgment about our future results, the
prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economic environment in which we do
business. It is possible that the actual results will differ from the assumptions and require adjustments to the
allowance. Adjustments to the allowance would affect future net income.

Impairment Reviews of Goodwill - We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of the end of the
first month of the fiscal fourth quarter (October 31st), or at an interim date if an event occurs or if circumstances
change that would indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. In performing our annual
impairment test, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely that not that the
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If our qualitative assessment is
indicative of possible impairment, then a two-step quantitative fair value assessment is performed at the reporting
unit level. In the first step, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. If the fair
value exceeds the carrying value, then goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. The second
step is performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is then
compared against the carrying value of goodwill to determine the amount of impairment.

The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective because it requires the use of

estimates and assumptions in determining a reporting unit’s fair value. We calculate the fair value of each
reporting unit by using a blended analysis of the present value of future discounted cash flows and the market
approach of valuation. The discounted cash flow method requires us to use estimates and judgments about the
future cash flows of the reporting units. Although we base cash flow forecasts on assumptions that are consistent
with plans and estimates we use to manage the underlying reporting units, there is significant judgment in
determining the cash flows attributable to these reporting units, including markets and market share, sales
volumes and mix, research and development expenses, tax rates, capital spending, discount rate and working
capital changes. Cash flow forecasts are based on reporting unit operating plans for the early years and business
projections in later years. The market approach is based on a comparison of the Company to comparable publicly
traded companies in similar lines of business. This method requires us to use estimates and judgments when
determining comparable companies. We assess such factors as size, growth, profitability, risk and return on
investment. We believe the accounting estimate related to the valuation of goodwill is a critical accounting
estimate because it requires us to make assumptions that are highly uncertain about the future cash flows of our
reporting units.

While the use of historical results and future projections can result in different valuations for a business, it is
a generally accepted valuation practice to apply more than one valuation technique to establish a range of values

27

for a business. Since each technique relies on different inputs and assumptions, it is unlikely that each technique
would yield the same results. However, it is expected that the different techniques would establish a reasonable
range. In determining the fair value, we weigh the two methods equally because we believe both methods have
an equal probability of providing an appropriate fair value.

Impairment Reviews of Intangible Assets - We evaluate the carrying value of intangible assets and other
long-lived assets for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. We test finite-lived intangible assets
for recoverability using pretax undiscounted cash flows. Although we base cash flow forecasts on assumptions
that are consistent with plans and estimates we use to manage the underlying reporting units, there is significant
judgment in determining the cash flows attributable to these reporting units, including markets and market share,
sales volumes and mix, research and development expenses, capital spending and working capital changes. Cash
flow forecasts are based on operating plans and business projections. We compare the pretax undiscounted cash
flows to the carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash
flows of the asset group, an impairment charge must be recognized in the financial statements.

We believe the accounting estimate related to the valuation of intangible assets is a critical accounting
estimate because it requires us to make assumptions about future sales prices and volumes for products that
involve new technologies and applications where customer acceptance of new products or timely introduction of
new technologies into their networks are uncertain. The recognition of impairment could be material to our
financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2013-02,
“Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of
accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in the update require an entity to report the effect of
significant respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its
entirety to net income. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an
entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively
for reporting periods after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, which provides that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion

thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating
loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss
carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any
additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the
entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized
tax benefit should be presented as a liability. This standard is effective for us for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2013. We do not expect adoption of this ASU to significantly impact its consolidated financial
statements.

Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit risk, and

investment risk as follows:

Interest Rate Risk

We manage the sensitivity of our results of operations to interest rate risk on cash equivalents by

maintaining a conservative investment portfolio. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve
principal without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our portfolio of cash

28

equivalents, short-term investments, and long-term investments in, pre-refunded municipal bonds, U.S.
government agency bonds or money market funds invested exclusively in government agency bonds and AA or
higher rated corporate bonds.

Due to changes in interest rates, our future investment income may fall short of expectations. A hypothetical

increase or decrease of 10% in market interest rates would not result in a material decrease in interest income
earned through maturity on investments held at December 31, 2013. We do not hold or issue derivatives,
derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to currency fluctuations due to our foreign operations and because we sell our products
internationally. We manage the sensitivity of our international sales by denominating the majority of transactions
in U.S. dollars. If the United States dollar uniformly increased or decreased in strength by 10% relative to the
currencies in which our sales were denominated, our net income would not have changed by a material amount
for the year ended December 31, 2013. For purposes of this calculation, we have assumed that the exchange rates
would change in the same direction relative to the United States dollar. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate
fluctuations, however, arises in part from translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into U.S.
dollars in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and
adversely impact overall expected profitability.

We had $1.0 million of cash in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, we

had no intention of repatriating the cash in our foreign bank accounts to the U.S. If we decide to repatriate the
cash in foreign bank accounts, we may experience difficulty in repatriating it in a timely manner. We may also be
exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and taxes if we repatriate these funds.

Credit Risk

The financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. For
trade receivables, credit risk is the potential for a loss due to a customer not meeting its payment obligations. Our
customers are concentrated in the wireless communications industry. Estimates are used in determining an
allowance for amounts which we may not be able to collect, based on current trends, the length of time
receivables are past due and historical collection experience. Provisions for and recovery of bad debts are
recorded as sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. We perform ongoing
evaluations of customers’ credit limits and financial condition. Generally, we do not require collateral from
customers. No customer’s accounts receivable balance represented 10% or greater of gross accounts receivables
at December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. Our allowances for potential credit losses have historically been
adequate compared to actual losses. No customers represented 10% of our revenues for the years ended
December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
PCTEL, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PCTEL, Inc. (a Delaware corporation)

and subsidiaries (together, the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income , stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule
listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. We also have audited the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the
1992 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting (Management’s Report). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight

Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements
included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists,
and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.
Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,

the financial position of PCTEL, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion,
the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial

31

statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. In our
opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by
COSO.

functions. All of the Company’s accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on
a centralized basis through the corporate function. The Company manages its balance sheet and cash flows
centrally at the corporate level, with the exception of trade accounts receivable and inventory which is managed
at the segment level. Each of the segment managers reports to and maintains regular contact with the chief
operating decision maker to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment. As
of January 1, 2013, the Company’s chief operating decision maker uses the profit and loss results through
operating profit and identified assets for the Connected Solutions and RF Solutions segments to make operating
decisions. The 2012 segment information presented in the financial statements has been presented on a
retrospective basis reflecting the new Connected Solutions and RF Solution segments on a consistent basis with
the current period.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company operated in two different segments, PCTEL Secure,
LLC and the rest of the Company. The Company’s chief operating decision maker used the profit and loss results
and the assets to make operating decisions.

Connected Solutions Segment

PCTEL is a leading supplier of antennas for private network, public safety and government applications, and
site solutions for both private and public network, data, and communications applications. PCTEL’s MAXRAD®,
Bluewave™ and Wi-Sys™ antenna solutions include high-value YAGI, land mobile radio (“LMR”), Wi-Fi,
GPS, In Tunnel, Subway, and Broadband antennas (parabolic and flat panel). PCTEL’s Connected Solutions
products include specialized towers, enclosures, fiber optic panels, and fiber jumper cables that are engineered
into site solutions. The vertical markets into which the antenna and site solutions are sold include supervisory
control and data acquisition (“SCADA”), health care, energy, smart grid, precision agriculture, indoor wireless,
telemetry, offloading, and wireless backhaul. Growth for antenna and engineered site solutions is primarily
driven by the increased use of wireless communications in these vertical markets. PCTEL’s antenna and site
solution products are primarily sold through distributors, value added reseller, and original equipment
manufacturer (“OEM”) providers.

The Company established its current antenna and site solutions product portfolio with a series of

acquisitions. In 2004, the Company acquired MAXRAD, Inc. (“MAXRAD”), as well as certain product lines
from Andrew Corporation (“Andrew”), which established its core product offerings in Wi-Fi, LMR and GPS.
Over the next several years we added additional capabilities within those product lines and additional served
markets with the acquisition of certain assets from Bluewave Antenna Systems, Ltd (“Bluewave”) in 2008, and

38

the acquisitions of Wi-Sys Communications, Inc (“Wi-Sys”) in 2009, Sparco Technologies, Inc. (“Sparco”) in
2010, and certain assets of TelWorx Communications LLC, TelWorx U.K. Limited, TowerWorx LLC, and
TowerWorx International, Inc. (collectively “TelWorx”), in July 2012.

There are many competitors for antenna products, as the market is highly fragmented. Competitors include

Laird (Cushcraft, Centurion, and Antennex brands), Mobile Mark, Radiall/Larsen, Comtelco, Wilson,
Commscope (Andrew products), Kathrein, among others. We seek out product applications that command a
premium for product performance and customer service, and avoid commodity markets.

PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the antenna engineered

site solutions market. These include radio frequency engineering, mobile antenna design and manufacturing,
mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.

RF Solutions Segment

PCTEL is a leading supplier of high-speed, multi-standard, demodulating receivers and test and

measurement solutions to the wireless industry worldwide. Our SeeGull® scanning receivers, receiver-based
products and CLARIFY® interference management solutions are used to measure, monitor and optimize cellular
networks. PCTEL’s network engineering services (“NES”) Group provides value-added analysis of measured
data collected during the optimization process. Revenue growth for these products and services is driven by the
deployment of products based on new wireless technology and the need for wireless networks to be tuned and
reconfigured on a regular basis. PCTEL develops and supports scanning receivers for LTE, EVDO, CDMA,
WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, and WiMAX networks. Our scanning receiver products are sold primarily
through test and measurement value added resellers and to a lesser extent directly to network operators. The
engineering services are sold primarily to network infrastructure providers and cellular carriers. Competitors for
these products are OEMs such as JDS Uniphase, Rohde and Schwarz, Anritsu, and Berkley Varitronics.

The Company established its scanning receiver product portfolio in 2003 with the acquisition of certain
assets of Dynamic Telecommunications, Inc. (“DTI”). In 2009, we acquired the scanning receiver business from
Ascom Network Testing, Inc. (“Ascom”) as well as the exclusive distribution rights and patented technology for
Wider Network LLC (“Wider”) network interference products. In 2011, we purchased certain assets from
Envision Wireless Inc. (“Envision”), an engineering services business based in Melbourne, Florida. The NES
business focuses on the radio frequency (“RF”) issues pertaining to in-building coverage and capacity and its
target market is relevant to our antenna and scanning receiver businesses. NES provides value-added analysis of
collected data to public cellular carriers, network infrastructure providers, and real estate companies.

PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the scanning receiver

and related engineering services market. These include radio frequency engineering, DSP engineering,
manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All

intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

On April 30, 2013, the Company divested all material assets associated with its PCTEL Secure, LLC
subsidiary’s ProsettaCore™ technology to Redwall Technologies, LLC (“Redwall”), a development organization
that specializes in mobile security, military and defense projects and systems, and critical national infrastructure.
Under the terms of the agreement, Redwall acquired the server and device software (the “Software”), the
underlying intellectual property, and complete development responsibility for the security products. At the
closing of the divestiture, the Company received no upfront cash payment, but has the right to receive a royalty
of 7% of the net sale price of each future sale or license of the Software and each provision of services related to

39

the Software, if any. Under the agreement, royalties will not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate. In accordance
with accounting for discontinued operations, the consolidated financial statements separately reflect the results of
PCTEL Secure as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The prior period results have been restated to
reflect this accounting treatment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires

management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Operations

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to its foreign operations and because products

are sold internationally. The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is predominantly the
applicable local currency. Accounts of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the year-end
exchange rate for assets and liabilities and average monthly rates for revenue and expense accounts. Adjustments
resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component
of shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from other transactions originally in foreign currencies and
then translated into U.S. dollars are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Net foreign exchange
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $26, $31, and $33 in the
years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows accounting pronouncements for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which

establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is a market-based measurement
that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established,
which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in
active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market
data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.

Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the
fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Cash equivalents are measured at fair value and investments are recognized at amortized cost in the
Company’s financial statements. Accounts receivable and other investments are financial assets with carrying
values that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets. Accounts payable is a financial
liability with a carrying value that approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

Cash and Cash equivalents

At December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original
maturities less than 90 days. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s cash equivalents were invested in
highly liquid AAA rated money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Such funds utilize the amortized cost method of accounting, seek to maintain a constant
$1.00 per share price, and are redeemable upon demand. The Company restricts its investments in AAA rated
money market funds to those invested 100% in either short-term U.S. Government Agency securities or bank
repurchase agreements collateralized by these same securities. The fair values of these money market funds are
established through quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). The cash in the
Company’s U.S. banks is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the insurable amount of
$250,000.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had $19.7 million in cash and $2.1 million in cash equivalents and at
December 31, 2012, the Company had $13.0 million in cash and $4.5 million in cash equivalents. The Company
had $1.0 million and $0.8 million of cash and cash equivalents in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2013
and at December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has no intentions of repatriating the cash in
its foreign bank accounts. If the Company decides to repatriate the cash in the foreign bank accounts, it may
experience difficulty in doing so in a timely manner and it may also be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations
and taxes. The Company’s cash in its foreign bank accounts is not insured.

Investments

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s short-term investments consisted of pre-refunded

municipal bonds, U.S. government agency bonds, and AA or higher rated corporate bonds all classified as held-
to-maturity.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had invested $17.2 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds and
taxable bond funds, $7.3 million in AA rated or higher corporate bond funds, $6.3 million in U.S. government
agency bonds, and $5.3 million in certificates of deposit. The income and principal from the pre-refunded
municipal bonds is secured by an irrevocable trust of U.S. Treasury securities. The bonds, classified as short-term
investments, have original maturities greater than 90 days and mature in 2014. The Company’s bonds are
recorded at the purchase price and carried at amortized cost. The net unrealized gains were approximately $15
and $6 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Approximately 5% and 15% of the
Company’s bonds were protected by bond default insurance at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had invested $10.1 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds and
taxable bond funds, $9.9 million in AA rated or higher corporate bond funds, $8.5 million in U.S. government
agency bonds, and $5.1 million in certificates of deposit.

41

The Company categorizes its financial instruments within a fair value hierarchy established in Accounting

Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820. The fair value hierarchy is described under the Fair Value of Financial
Instruments in Note 1. For the Level 2 investments, the Company uses quoted prices of similar assets in active
markets.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount with standard net terms for most customers that range

between 30 and 60 days. The Company extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of a company’s
financial condition and collateral is generally not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful
accounts for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on the Company’s assessment
of known delinquent accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence of the collectability
and the aging of accounts receivable. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.1 million and $0.2
million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts is included in sales
and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include material, labor and overhead costs using the

first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of costing. Inventories as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were composed of
raw materials, sub-assemblies, finished goods and work-in-process. The Company had consigned inventory of
$1.1 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company records allowances to
reduce the value of inventory to the lower of cost or market, including allowances for excess and obsolete
inventory. The allowance for inventory losses was $1.9 million and $2.0 million as of December 31, 2013 and
2012, respectively.

Prepaid and other current assets

Prepaid assets are stated at cost and are amortized over the useful lives (up to one year) of the assets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company depreciates computers over three years to five years, office
equipment, manufacturing and test equipment and motor vehicles over five years, furniture and fixtures over
seven years, and buildings over 30 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the
corresponding lease term or useful life. Depreciation expense and gains and losses on the disposal of property
and equipment are included in cost of sales and operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company sells antennas, site solutions, and scanning receiver products, and provides network

engineering services. The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, price is fixed and determinable,
and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company recognizes revenue for sales of the products when title transfers, which is predominantly

upon shipment from its factory. For products shipped on consignment, the Company recognizes revenue upon
delivery from the consignment location. The Company allows its major antenna product distributors to return
product under specified terms and conditions and accrues for product returns. The Company recognizes revenue
for its network engineering services under the completed contract accounting method. However, since most the
services occur in one week or less, revenue is generally recognized when the engineering reports are completed
and issued to the customer.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. To date, the Company has expensed all

software development costs related to research and development because the costs incurred subsequent to the
products reaching technological feasibility were not significant.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expense was $166,

$150 and $178 in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets, which are not likely
to be realized. On a regular basis, management evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for
a valuation allowance.

Deferred tax assets arise when the Company recognizes charges or expenses in the financial statements that
will not be allowed as income tax deductions until future periods. The deferred tax assets also include unused tax

44

net operating losses and tax credits that the Company is allowed to carry forward to future years. Accounting
rules permit the Company to carry the deferred tax assets on the balance sheet at full value as long as it is more
likely than not the deductions, losses, or credits will be used in the future. A valuation allowance must be
recorded against a deferred tax asset if this test cannot be met.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not
of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50%
likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change
in judgment occurs.

Sales and Value Added Taxes

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis in cost

of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs are included on a gross basis in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated

statements of operations.

Goodwill

The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill as of the end of the first month of the fiscal

fourth quarter (October 31st), or at an interim date if an event occurs or if circumstances change that would
indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. In performing our annual impairment test, the
Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair
value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If our qualitative assessment is
indicative of possible impairment, then a two-step quantitative fair value assessment is performed at the reporting
unit level. In the first step, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. If the fair
value exceeds the carrying value, then goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. The second
step is performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is then
compared against the carrying value of goodwill to determine the amount of impairment.

The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective because it requires the use of

estimates and assumptions in determining a reporting unit’s fair value. The Company calculates the fair value of
each reporting unit by using a blended analysis of the present value of future discounted cash flows and the
market approach of valuation. The discounted cash flow method requires the Company to use estimates and
judgments about the future cash flows of the reporting units. Although the Company bases cash flow forecasts on
assumptions that are consistent with plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying reporting
units, there is significant judgment in determining the cash flows attributable to these reporting units, including
markets and market share, sales volumes and mix, research and development expenses, tax rates, capital
spending, discount rate and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts are based on reporting unit operating
plans for the early years and business projections in later years. The market approach is based on a comparison of
the Company to comparable publicly traded firms in similar lines of business. This method requires the Company
to use estimates and judgments when determining comparable companies. The Company assesses such factors as
size, growth, profitability, risk and return on investment. The Company believes the accounting estimate related
to the valuation of goodwill is a critical accounting estimate because it requires us to make assumptions that are
highly uncertain about the future cash flows of our reporting units. Changes in these estimates can have a
material impact on our financial statements.

While the use of historical results and future projections can result in different valuations for a business, it is
a generally accepted valuation practice to apply more than one valuation technique to establish a range of values

45

for a business. Since each technique relies on different inputs and assumptions, it is unlikely that each technique
would yield the same results. However, it is expected that the different techniques would establish a reasonable
range. In determining the fair value, the Company weighs the two methods equally because it believes both
methods have an equal probability of providing an appropriate fair value.

As of October 31, 2013 the Company performed a qualitative analysis of goodwill and concluded that there

was no triggering event that would necessitate a two-step goodwill impairment test.

The Company recognized goodwill of $12.5 million with the acquisition of assets from TelWorx in July
2012. Goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition was primarily attributable to the synergies expected
to arise after the Company’s acquisition of the business and the assembled workforce of the acquired business.
During the fourth quarter 2012, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $12.5 million related to its
TelWorx acquisition based on the results from our annual test of goodwill impairment. This amount represented
the total goodwill associated with the acquisition. Specifically, the projected 2013 base revenue declined 17%
from the projections utilized in the purchase accounting fair value of the TelWorx assets at the acquisition date.
The projected revenue, anticipated margins, and future cash flows of the business were significantly lower at the
annual goodwill test date than at the acquisition date. The Company considered this revenue decline at the annual
goodwill test date to be an indicator of goodwill impairment requiring the performance of the two step
quantitative fair value assessment, which resulted in a net present value of future cash flows that did not support
a goodwill carrying value for this reporting unit. The two step quantitative fair value assessment performed on
the Envision goodwill resulted in a fair value that supported all of its goodwill at year end 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized goodwill of $0.2 million with the

acquisition of assets from Envision Wireless in October 2011. The Company’s market capitalization as of the
date of the acquisition exceeded the book value of the Company. Since the acquisition date was concurrent with
the Company’s annual goodwill test date and there was not a triggering event for goodwill impairment, the
Company did not perform a separate two-step goodwill impairment test.

Long-lived and Definite-Lived Intangible assets

The Company reviews definite-lived intangible assets, investments and other long-lived assets for

impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully
recoverable. This analysis differs from the Company’s goodwill analysis in that a definite-lived intangible asset
impairment is only deemed to have occurred if the sum of the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows related
to the assets being evaluated is less than the carrying value of the assets. The estimate of long-term undiscounted
cash flows includes long-term forecasts of revenue growth, gross margins, and operating expenses. All of these
items require significant judgment and assumptions. An impairment loss may exist when the estimated
undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets are less than the carrying amount.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reporting of

Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this update is to
improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in
the update require an entity to report the effect of significant respective line items in net income if the amount
being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For amounts that are not required to
be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures. The
amendments in this update are effective prospectively for reporting periods after December 15, 2012. The
adoption of this update did have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, which provides that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion

thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating
loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss
carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any
additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the
entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized
tax benefit should be presented as a liability. This standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to significantly impact
its consolidated financial statements.

2. Earnings per Share

The Company computes earnings per share data under two different disclosures, basic and diluted, for all
periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, less shares subject to
repurchase. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options
using the treasury stock method. Common stock options are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings
per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

3. PCTEL Secure – discontinued operations

On January 5, 2011, the Company formed PCTEL Secure LLC (“PCTEL Secure”), a joint venture limited
liability company, with Eclipse Design Technologies, Inc. (“Eclipse”). PCTEL Secure designed Android-based,
secure communication products. The Company contributed $2.5 million in cash on the formation of the joint
venture in return for 51% ownership of the joint venture. In return for 49% ownership of the joint venture,
Eclipse contributed $2.4 million of intangible assets in the form of intellectual property and a services agreement,
including an assembled workforce, to provide services. At the date of formation the weighted average
amortization period of the intangible assets acquired was 2.4 years. The Company estimated the fair value and
remaining useful lives of the assets.

The limited liability company agreement of PCTEL Secure, as amended, provided several mechanisms for

the orderly transition of the Company’s ownership from 51% to 100%. The Company purchased an additional
19% of the membership interests for $0.9 million on May 29, 2012 and the remaining 30% of the membership
interests for $0.8 million on July 2, 2012. During the periods that the Company did not own 100% of the
membership interests, Eclipse’s membership interests were recorded as non-controlling interest.

48

The Company learned through its marketing efforts for PCTEL Secure’s baseline product that its

distribution channels had limited access to the target software markets, primarily U.S. government agencies. The
Company was in active discussions with a number of potential distribution entities with U.S. government agency
access through December 31, 2012, and in January 2013 the Company engaged Wunderlich Securities, Inc. to
evaluate strategic alternatives for PCTEL Secure, including a further search for a distribution entity that could
take its baseline product to market. Based on the lack of success of such efforts, the Company concluded, as of
December 31, 2012, that the future potential revenue of PCTEL Secure was indeterminate resulting in
management’s forecast of future undiscounted cash flow to be in a range at or below zero. Based on these revised
forecast cash flows, the Company concluded that the intangible assets of PCTEL Secure were impaired at
December 31, 2012. The Company recorded intangible asset impairment expense of $1.1 million in December
2012.

On April 30, 2013, the Company divested all material assets associated with PCTEL Secure’s
ProsettaCore™ technology to Redwall Technologies, LLC (“Redwall”), a development organization that
specializes in mobile security, military and defense projects and systems, and critical national infrastructure.
Under the terms of the agreement, Redwall acquired the server and device software (the “Software”), the
underlying intellectual property, and complete development responsibility for the related products. At the closing
of the divestiture, the Company received no upfront cash payment, but the Company has the right to receive a
royalty of 7% of the net sale price of each future sale or license of the Software and each provision of services
related to the Software, if any. Under the agreement, royalties are capped at $10 million in the aggregate.

operations for all periods presented. Summary results of operations for the discontinued operations included in

4. Acquisitions

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. In general the
acquisition method requires acquisition-date fair value measurement of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities
assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquiree. The measurement requirements result in the recognition
of the full amount of acquisition-date goodwill, which includes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.
Neither the direct costs incurred to effect a business combination nor the costs the acquirer expects to incur under
a plan to restructure an acquired business may be included as part of the business combination accounting. As a
result, those costs are charged to expense when incurred, except for debt or equity issuance costs, which are
accounted for in accordance with other generally accepted accounting principles.

Acquisition of TelWorx Communications LLC

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary PCTelWorx, Inc. (“PCTelWorx”), completed the

acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain specified liabilities of TelWorx
Communications LLC, TelWorx U.K. Limited, TowerWorx LLC and TowerWorx International, Inc.
(collectively “TelWorx”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 9, 2012 among the
Company, PCTelWorx, TelWorx and Tim and Brenda Scronce, the principal owners of TelWorx. The business
operations associated with these purchased assets are collectively referred to as “TelWorx” in this Form 10-K.
The acquired business was primarily a North Carolina-based business with expertise in delivering wireless and
fiber optic solutions into the enterprise, defense, transportation, and the carrier market. The acquired business
excels at global procurement, custom engineering of RF solutions, rapid delivery and deployment of systems, and
value-added reselling of antennas, related RF components, and other communication elements. The acquisition
also included the assets of TowerWorx, a provider of mobile towers for defense, industrial wireless, and other
applications. The acquisition expands the Company’s products and markets addressed by its Connected Solutions
product line. The fair value purchase price for TelWorx was $16.1 million, consisting of $16.0 million in cash
paid at closing, $1.1 million of contingent consideration related to an indemnity holdback escrow and potential
earn-out at fair value, net of $1.0 million cash recovered from Tim and Brenda Scronce in March 2013 pursuant
to the working capital adjustment provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the legal settlement described
below.

Following the closing of the acquisition, the Company’s management became aware of accounting
irregularities with respect to the TelWorx financial statements, in part through an internal review conducted in
connection with the calculation of post-closing purchase price adjustments and in part due to an anonymous tip
received after the internal review began. With the oversight of the Audit Committee, management expanded its
review into an internal investigation regarding these financial irregularities and outside counsel was retained to
assist in the investigation. The Company’s outside counsel then retained a Big Four accounting firm to perform
an independent forensic accounting investigation under counsel’s direction. The accounting irregularities in the

50

TelWorx financial statements identified as a result of this investigation are believed to have been directed and/or
permitted by management of TelWorx, principally Tim Scronce and those acting at his direction. The correction
of the pre-acquisition accounting misstatements discovered in the investigation are reflected in the pro-forma
adjustments in Footnote 4 – Acquisition of TelWorx Communications LLC in the Company’s annual report filed
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 as well as this footnote.

The Company determined the amount of the corrections and the period in which they occurred through the

forensic audit performed, which included tracing sales transactions to customer commitments and proof of
delivery documents as well as reviewing the cost of sales records and aging of inventory at the acquisition date.
The Company was authorized by the Board of Directors to seek restitution from the Scronces and other
responsible parties. On March 27, 2013, the Company and the Scronces entered into a legal settlement over
claims by the Company relating to the value of the acquisition and the accounting issues summarized above. The
settlement had an aggregate fair value of $5.4 million, consisting of $4.3 million cash received, $0.6 million for
the contingent consideration forfeited, and $0.5 million for the holdback escrow balance released. The Company
is still pursuing additional restitution from other responsible parties. See Footnote 8 – TelWorx Legal Settlement
for full details.

The Company, through PCTelWorx, offered employment to all former employees of TelWorx. The key

managers entered into employment arrangements that include a non-competition covenant during their
employment and for twelve months thereafter. The Company entered into a five-year lease agreement for the
continued use of the operating facility and offices in Lexington, North Carolina and a two-year lease for an
operating facility in Pryor, Oklahoma. During the second and third quarters of 2013, the Company integrated the
TelWorx business with its Connected Solutions segment. The Company moved kitting operations and order
fulfillment to its Bloomingdale, Illinois facility from the Lexington, North Carolina facility. In May 2013, the
Company gave notice of early termination of the facility lease in Lexington, North Carolina. The termination
became effective in October 2013. In July 2013, the Company signed a new lease for office space for its sales,
procurement, and administration functions in Lexington, North Carolina. The new five-year lease was effective
August 1, 2013.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company subsequently recorded a goodwill impairment of $12.5 million

related to the TelWorx acquisition based on the results from our annual test of goodwill impairment conducted as
of October 31, 2012. This amount represented the total goodwill associated with the acquisition. The Company
considers its purchase accounting for the TelWorx acquisition to have been complete as of the quarter ended
December 31, 2012. The chronology of the Company’s change in purchase accounting fair value of $16.1 million
on July 9, 2012 to a $12.5 million goodwill impairment in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 is as follows:

The Company based its purchase accounting fair value of intangible assets on future projections using the

revenue and margin profile of TelWorx’ historical financial statements for 2010, 2011 and the six months ended
June 30, 2012. They presented a profile of a business that yielded goodwill of $9.5 million, primarily attributed
to the synergies expected to arise for the acquired TelWorx business after the Company’s acquisition of the
business and the assembled workforce of the acquired business. The two primary synergies that the Company
expected to accrue to the TelWorx business that the Company concluded were not typically available to a market
participant were: (1) increased TelWorx revenue as a result of customer confidence resulting from being part of a
public company with significant cash and investments available for working capital with no debt (the vast
majority of the competitors in the antenna and site solution market are smaller private companies with limited
working capital and financial resources); and (2) lower raw material costs for TelWorx products as a result of
having access to PCTEL’s supply chain for certain products. PCTEL has access through several of its large key
customers, with which it has a preferred supplier relationship, to their supply chain and profits from the volume
discounts that come with our customer’s significantly larger volume. There were no synergies identified that
accrued to PCTEL.

52

The accounting irregularities discovered in the historical financial statements lowered the historical pre-

acquisition sales and margins as well as the post-acquisition sales in the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the
quarter in which the acquisition closed. The Company recalculated the allocation of the purchase price using
future projections which have a new lower revenue and margin profile. The result was a $3.1 million increase of
goodwill up to $12.5 million. At this time the Company remained confident that the acquisition would yield the
synergies expected to arise after the acquisition, to which the goodwill was attributed.

The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill as of the end of the first month of the fiscal

fourth quarter (October 31st), or at an interim date if an event occurs or if circumstances change that would
indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. In performing our annual impairment test, the
Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair
value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If our qualitative assessment is
indicative of possible impairment, then a two-step quantitative fair value assessment is performed at the reporting
unit level. In the first step, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. If the fair
value exceeds the carrying value, then goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. The second
step is performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is then
compared against the carrying value of goodwill to determine the amount of impairment.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company observed that the orders in the 2013 sales

projections used in the purchase accounting allocation for TelWorx were not converting to sales backlog at a
pace that would support the projected 2013 base revenue used in the purchase accounting fair value of the
TelWorx business at the acquisition date. Due to the Company’s short order to shipment cycles, such a variance
would not become apparent until 60-90 days before 2013 began. Additionally, at the date of the acquisition the
Company was not seeing funnel conversion variances in its antenna and site solutions products that operate in
similar markets and therefore did not suspect that the site solution products would experience a dissimilar path.
Specifically, 2013 base revenue and gross profit used in the Company’s purchase accounting was $18.5 million
and $3.2 million (18% of revenue), respectively. At October 31, 2012, based on the Company’s historical order
to ship cycle and historical rate of sales funnel conversion to actual sales (50%), there should have been
approximately $1.0 million of Q1 2013 deliverable order backlog and a sales funnel of Q1 deliverable sales
orders being tracked totaling at least $7.5 million. At October 31, 2012 the backlog was half the target, the sales
funnel was 17% below the target, and the gross profit margin on the backlog and funnel was at 16% instead of
18%. All of these were indicators that the business was deteriorating from the projections used at the acquisition
date for the purchase accounting. The Company reevaluated the projections and determined that they supported
2013 revenue of $15.0 million, at 16% margin, which was used in the goodwill test calculations, and adopted by
the Board of Directors as TelWorx’ contribution to the 2013 Company financial plan. Management concluded
the decline in projected revenue and gross margin levels were of a long-term nature. The decline was across a
broad range of customers and products. Additionally, the decline in revenue was sufficiently large to not be
recoverable in the short term based on historical revenue growth rates for the markets in which the Company’s
antenna and site solutions products are sold. The Company considered this significant revenue decline at the
annual goodwill test date to be an indicator of goodwill impairment requiring the performance of the two step
quantitative fair value assessment, which resulted in a net present value of future cash flows that did not support
a goodwill carrying value for this reporting unit. It is not as a result of the accounting irregularities previously
discussed.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition of the TelWorx

business as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2011. The pro forma financial information for
TelWorx was derived from the unaudited historical accounting records of TelWorx.

The Company made pro forma adjustments to the historical TelWorx revenue and earnings before income

taxes that reduced revenue by $0.1 million and total combined earnings by $0.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2012, and that reduced revenue by $0.4 million and total combined earnings by $0.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The adjustments were made to apply a correction to the misstatements to revenue and profit before tax
contained in the historical pre-acquisition TelWorx financial statements that were discovered in the course of the
Company’s internal investigation by the forensic auditors. The forensic auditing procedures that identified the
misstatements included the tracing of all significant sales transactions from the TelWorx operation back to
customer commitment and proof of delivery documentation. The forensic audit dollar coverage obtained is
approximately 50% of the operations’ revenue. Additionally there is also an adjustment to the costs associated
with excess and obsolete inventory not used for a year or more at the acquisition date to the appropriate pre-
acquisition period, consistent with the policy used by the Company after the acquisition. The forensic accounting
procedures included the tracing of all significant inventory items at the date of the acquisition back to historical
costing and usage records.

The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the

results that would have been obtained had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2012, nor is it
necessarily indicative of the Company’s future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Purchase of assets from of Envision Wireless LLC

On October 25, 2011, the Company purchased certain assets from Envision Wireless Inc. (“Envision”), an

engineering services business based in Melbourne, Florida. The engineering service business (“NES”) focuses on
the radio frequency (“RF”) issues pertaining to in-building coverage and capacity and its target market is relevant
to the Company’s antenna and scanning receiver businesses. NES provides value-added analysis of collected data
to public cellular carriers, network infrastructure providers, and real estate companies. The key employees of
Envision became employees of the Company. Envision revenues were approximately $2.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2010. The revenues and expenses of NES from the date of acquisition are included in the
Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2012. The
pro-forma effect on the financial results of the Company as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2011
is not significant.

The Company paid cash consideration of $1.5 million to acquire customer relationships, accounts receivable
and fixed assets. The consideration was determined based on the fair value of the intangible assets modeled at the
time of the negotiation, which were updated at the time of closing. With the acquisition of assets from Envision,
the Company entered into a lease for a 1,624 square foot facility used for sales activities in Melbourne, Florida.
The initial term of the lease was for one year, and has now been extended through November 2018. The cash
consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was provided from the Company’s existing cash. The
acquisition related costs related to this asset purchase were not significant to the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.

The intangible assets are being amortized for book purposes. At the date of the acquisition, the weighted
average amortization period of the intangible assets acquired was 5.0 years. The Company estimated the fair
value (and remaining useful lives) of the assets and liabilities. The intangible assets are deductible for tax
purposes.

6. Restructuring

The Company incurred restructuring expenses of $256, $157, and $117 for the years ended December 31,
2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The restructuring liability was $0 and $1 at December 31, 2013 and 2012,
respectively. The restructuring liability is included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

2013 Restructuring

During the second and third quarters of 2013, the Company integrated the TelWorx business with its
Bloomingdale, IL operations. The Company moved kitting operations and order fulfillment to its Bloomingdale,
Illinois facility from the Lexington, North Carolina facility. As part of the integration, the Company separated
eighteen PCTelWorx employees between March and September 2013. The Company recorded $0.3 million as
restructuring expense during the year ended December 31, 2013, consisting of employee related costs and asset
disposals. In October 2013, the Company moved to a smaller Lexington office facility for its sales, procurement,
and administrative functions.

56

2012 Restructuring

The 2012 restructuring expense relates to reduction in headcount in the Company’s Bloomingdale facility.

During 2012, we eliminated twelve positions in our manufacturing organization. The restructuring expense of
$0.2 million consisted of severance and payroll related benefits. The Company paid $0.2 million for severance
and payroll benefits during the year ended December 31, 2012.

2011 Restructuring

During the third quarter 2011, the Company reduced the headcount of its Germantown, Maryland

engineering organization due to the completion of several projects for scanning receivers. The Company incurred
$0.1 million of severance and related payroll benefits costs for the elimination of six positions. This liability was
paid during the year ended December 31, 2011.

7. Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013,

income tax benefit of $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and an income tax expense of $0.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34% during 2013 primarily because of state

taxes and a change in the effective state rate for deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate differed from the
statutory Federal rate of 34% during 2012 primarily because of state taxes. The effective tax rate differed from
the statutory Federal rate of 34% during 2011 because of income tax benefits related to state rate changes on its
deferred tax assets, the release of its valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets subject to Chinese income
taxes, and research and development credits. During 2012 the Company wrote off $43 of deferred tax assets to
additional paid in capital related to vested stock options that were forfeited.

In 2013, the Company recorded a tax gain of $0.7 million related to the sale of PCTEL Secure. The income

tax gain was based on the fair market value of the intangible assets sold minus the tax basis of the intangible
assets.

Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance

At December 31, 2013, the Company has $13.5 million of net deferred tax assets, including domestic net

deferred tax assets of $13.3 million and foreign net deferred tax assets of $0.2 million. The Company has a
valuation allowance of $0.6 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2012, the Company has $15.5
million of net deferred tax assets, including domestic net deferred tax assets of $15.4 million and foreign net
deferred tax assets of $0.1 million. The Company had a valuation allowance of $0.7 million at December 31,
2012. The net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are primarily related to intangible
assets acquired under purchase accounting which are amortized for tax purposes over 15 years, but for shorter
periods under generally accepted accounting principles. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2013 and
2012, respectively, relates to credits and state operating losses that the Company does not expect to realize
because they correspond to tax jurisdictions where the Company no longer has significant operations.

On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a
valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. The Company considers

59

multiple factors in its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company has incurred a cumulative
loss exclusive of reversing temporary differences over the three years ended December 31, 2013 of ($2.8)
million. However that period contains $(11.1) million of net losses in the form of goodwill and intangible asset
impairments, ERP implementation costs, and other income, that the Company believes are discrete to the period
and will not be incurred on a recurring basis going forward.

The Company’s domestic deferred tax assets have a ratable reversal pattern over 15 years. The carry
forward rules allow for up to a 20 year carry forward of net operating losses (“NOL”) to future income that is
available to realize the deferred tax assets. The combination of the deferred tax asset reversal pattern and carry
forward period yields a 26.0 year average period over which future income can be utilized to realize the deferred
tax assets. The future income required to realize the $13.3 million of net deferred tax assets over that period is
$35.9 million. The result is that $1.4 million a year on average ($36.0. million/26.0 years) of income is required
over the next 26.0 years to realize the net deferred tax assets.

In the Company’s judgment, an average of $1.4 million per year of income over an extended 26.0 year
period represents a threshold that is unlikely to require extraordinary or unusual one-time events or actions on the
Company’s part to meet. The Company’s estimate of future income over the recovery period is sufficient to
realize the deferred tax assets.

Based on the evaluation of these factors taken as a whole, the Company believes that the positive evidence
in the form of (i) a 26.0 year future recovery period, (ii) a modest average future annual income requirement of
$1.4 million is unlikely to require extraordinary or unusual one-time events or actions on the Company’s part to
meet, and (iii) its estimate of future income, outweigh the negative evidence of a cumulative taxable loss from
operations exclusive of reversing temporary differences over the last three years. Therefore, the Company
believes that the net deferred tax asset exclusive of the credits and state net operating losses is more likely than
not to be realized.

Included in the balance of total unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013, are potential benefits of
$1.5 million that if recognized, would affect the effective rate on income before taxes. The Company expects that
potential benefits of $0.8 million will be settled within the next twelve months. The Company is unaware of any
positions for which it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or
decrease within the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes all interest and penalties, including those relating to unrecognized tax benefits as

income tax expense. The Company’s income tax expense related to interest includes $22, $16, and 1, for the
years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively for unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31,
2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company had interest payable of $86 and $63 related to unrecognized tax
benefits.

Audits

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. The

Company’s U.S. federal tax returns remain subject to examination for 2008 and subsequent periods. The
Company’s state tax returns remain subject to examination for 2008 and subsequent periods. The Company’s
foreign tax returns remain subject to examination for 2007 and subsequent periods.

Summary of Carryforwards

At December 31, 2013, the Company has a federal net operating loss carry forward of $4.3 million that

expires in 2032 and 2033, state net operating loss carry forwards of $5.9 million that expire between 2024 and
2033. The Company has $1.5 million of net operating losses related to stock-based compensation tax deductions
in excess of book compensation expense (APIC NOLs) that will be credited to additional paid in capital when
such deductions reduce taxes payable as determined on a “with-and-without” basis. Additionally, the Company
has $1.5 million of state research credits with no expiration.

Investment in Foreign Operations

The Company has not provided deferred U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on approximately

$0.7 million of undistributed cumulative earnings of foreign subsidiaries because the Company considers such
earnings to be permanently reinvested in those operations. Upon repatriation of these earnings, the Company
would be subject to U.S. income tax, net of available foreign tax credits. The Company does not believe that the
net tax effect of repatriation of foreign earnings is significant.

The Company’s subsidiary in Tianjin, China had a full tax holiday through 2008, and a partial tax holiday
through 2011. The impact of the tax holiday was not material to the income tax provision (benefit) for the year
ended December 31, 2011.

In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service issued Treasury Decision 9636, which enacted final tax

regulations regarding the capitalization and expensing of amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible
property. The regulations also include guidance regarding the retirement of depreciable property. The regulations
are required to effective in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, although taxpayers may choose to
apply them in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the impact of
the final regulations to have a material effect on its financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

TelWorx Settlement

On March 27, 2013, the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary PCTelWorx, Inc. (“PCTelWorx”), and the

TelWorx Parties (as defined below) entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Asset Purchase
Agreement dated July 9, 2012 (the “Original Agreement), among the Company, PCTelWorx, Ciao Enterprises,
LLC f/k/a TelWorx Communications, LLC and certain of its affiliated entities (collectively, the “TelWorx
Entities”) and Tim and Brenda Scronce (“Sellers” and collectively with the TelWorx Entities, the “TelWorx
Parties”), as part of a settlement arrangement relative to PCTelWorx’s acquisition of substantially all of the
assets of and the assumption of certain specified liabilities of the TelWorx Entities on July 9, 2012 (the
“Acquisition”).

As part of the Acquisition, PCTelWorx previously executed a five-year lease with Scronce Real Estate, LLC
for the continued use of an operating facility and offices in Lexington, North Carolina, which provided for annual
rental payments of approximately $0.2 million.

As disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) on March 13, 2013, after completion of the Acquisition, the Company became aware of certain
accounting irregularities with respect to the TelWorx Entities and the Company’s Board of Directors directed
management to conduct an internal investigation. Based on the results of the Company’s investigation, the
Company’s Board of Directors directed management to seek restitution from the TelWorx Parties, and after
protracted negotiations and concurrent litigation, the parties entered into the Amendment and related settlement
agreements to resolve their dispute.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Amendment:

•

•

the TelWorx Parties paid the Company a cash payment of $4.3 million, which included $1.0 million
pursuant to the working capital adjustment provisions of the Original Agreement;

the TelWorx Parties forfeited all $1.5 million of the potential contingent consideration earnable under
the Original Agreement, which had a fair value of $0.6 million, and which, if earned, would have been
payable in the form of common stock of the Company;

62

•

•

•

•

the TelWorx Parties forfeited the $0.5 million holdback escrow under the Original Agreement;

the parties agreed to the elimination of all indemnification obligations provided for under the Original
Agreement;

the Company, PCTelWorx and the Sellers each agreed to execute mutual releases of all claims arising
in connection with the dispute; and

PCTelWorx acquired an option to terminate its current facility lease in Lexington, North Carolina with
Scronce Real Estate, LLC (which is controlled by Sellers) upon 180 days written notice

The settlement had an aggregate fair value of $5.4 million, consisting of $4.3 million cash received, $0.6
million for the contingent consideration forfeited, and $0.5 million for the holdback escrow balance released.
Approximately $1.0 million of the cash received was pursuant to the working capital adjustment provisions of
the Original Agreement and settle the miscellaneous accounts receivable recorded in prepaid expenses and other
assets at December 31, 2012. The remaining $4.3 million settlement amount, consisting of $3.2 million cash and
the release of the $0.6 million contingent consideration fair value and the $0.5 million release of the holdback
escrow, was recorded as income in the quarter ended March 31, 2013, consistent with accounting for legal
settlements.

The Company recorded a $12.5 million impairment of goodwill related to the TelWorx Entities in the fourth
quarter of 2012. See Footnote 8 -Acquisition of TelWorx Communications LLC for full details. The Company is
also engaged in efforts to seek further restitution from the independent accountants that provided the 2010 and
2011 audited financial statements for TelWorx and the investment banking firm used by the TelWorx Parties.
The Company cannot predict the total amount of restitution it will eventually obtain. In settling with the TelWorx
parties, management considered the risks and expenses associated with protracted litigation as well as the
consumption of Company resources that would otherwise be applied to operating activities.

In May 2013, the Company gave notice of its election to exercise its option with respect to its Lexington

facility lease, with termination effective October 31, 2013.

Restricted Stock - Serviced Based

The Company grants restricted shares as employee incentives as permitted under the Company’s 1997 Stock
Plan, as amended and restated (“1997 Stock Plan”). In connection with the grant of service-based restricted stock
to employees, the Company records deferred stock compensation representing the fair value of the common stock
on the date the restricted stock is granted. The Company records stock compensation expense on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period of the applicable service-based restricted shares. These grants vest over various
periods, but typically vest over four years. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the
Company annually awarded service-based restricted stock to eligible employees.

The fair value of each unvested option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models
require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and expected
option life. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair
value estimate, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the
employee stock options.

66

The dividend yield rate was calculated by dividing the Company’s annual dividend by the closing price on

the grant date. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yields with remaining term that
approximates the expected life of the options granted. The Company calculates the volatility based on a five-year
historical period of the Company’s stock price. The Company incorporates a forfeiture rate based on historical
data in the expense calculation. The expected life used for options granted is based on historical data of employee
exercise performance. The Company records expense based on the grading vesting method.

As of December 31, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the

Company’s stock options was approximately $1.6 million, net of estimated forfeitures to be recognized through
2017 over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.

Retention Stock Options

For its 2013 long-term incentive plan, the Company awarded 182,500 performance-based retention stock
options to executive officers with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.83 in April 2013. The number of
options granted was based on 2013 revenue goals at target. In March 2014, the Company awarded 207,236 stock
options because the Company exceeded target revenue goals for 2013. These options will vest between two and
four years beginning in April 2014. The Company recorded expense for these retention stock options on the
grading vested method based on achievement of the performance goals. The assumptions used for the valuation
of these stock options were consistent with the employee stock options awarded to employees in April 2013.

The following table summarizes the retention stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2013:

Performance Units

During 2011 and 2012, the Company granted performance units to certain executive officers. Shares were

earned upon achievement of defined performance goals such as revenue and earnings. Certain performance units
granted were subject to a service period before vesting. The fair values of the performance units issued were
based on the Company’s stock price on the date the performance units were granted. The Company recorded
expense on a straight-line basis for the performance units based on achievement of the performance goals.

Because the targets related to the 2012 performance units were not met, the Company did not record any

expense related to these awards during the year ended December 31, 2012. The 147,250 performance units
outstanding at December 31, 2012 were cancelled in March 2013.

The intrinsic value of performance units that vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011

was $36 and $0.2 million respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units as employee incentives as permitted under the Company’s 1997
Stock Plan. Restricted stock units are primarily granted to foreign employees for long-term incentive purposes.
Employee restricted stock units are service-based awards and are amortized over the vesting period. At the
vesting date, these units are converted to shares of common stock. The company records expense on a straight-
line basis for restricted stock units.

The following summarizes the service-based restricted stock unit activity during the year ended

Based on the 15% discount and the fair value of the option feature of this plan, the ESPP is considered
compensatory. Compensation expense is calculated using the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under
the Black-Scholes model. The Company recognized compensation expense of $0.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2013 and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The
weighted average estimated fair value of purchase rights under the ESPP was $2.24, $1.89, and $1.99 for the
years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

The Company calculated the fair value of each employee stock purchase grant on the date of grant using the

Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

The Company issued its first quarterly dividend in November 2011. The dividend yield rate was calculated
by dividing the Company’s annual dividend by the closing price on the grant date. The risk-free interest rate was
based on the U.S. Treasury yields with remaining term that approximates the expected life of the options granted.
The dividend yield rate is calculated by dividing the Company’s annual dividend by the closing price on the grant
date. The Company calculates the volatility based on a five-year historical period of the Company’s stock price.
The expected life used is based on the offering period.

Board of Director Equity Awards

The Board of Directors receives their annual equity award in the form of shares of the Company’s stock or
in shares of vested restricted stock units. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 38,812

value of $85 and issued 28,508 restricted stock units with fair value of $187 that vested immediately to the

Employee Withholding Taxes on Stock Awards

For ease in administering the issuance of stock awards, the Company holds back shares of vested restricted

stock awards and short-term incentive plan stock awards for the value of the statutory withholding taxes. For

69

each individual receiving a share award, the Company redeems the shares it computes as the value for the
withholding tax and remits this amount to the appropriate tax authority. During the years ended December 31,
2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company paid $1.0 million, $1.2 million, and $1.3 million for withholding taxes
related to stock awards.

1997 Stock Plan

The Board of Directors may grant to employees, directors and consultants options to purchase the common

stock and/or stock purchase rights at terms and prices determined by the Board. In August 1999, the Board of
Directors and the stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 1997 Stock Plan that increased the
number of authorized shares of the common stock the Company may issue under the 1997 Stock Plan to
5,500,000. The plan allowed further annual increases in the number of shares authorized to be issued under the
1997 Stock Plan by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 700,000 shares, (ii) 4% of the outstanding shares on such
date, or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors. Effective at the annual shareholders meeting
on June 5, 2006, the shareholders approved an amended and restated 1997 Plan (“New 1997 Plan”) that expires
in 2016. The existing shares available for issuance and options outstanding were transferred from the 1997 Plan
to the New 1997 Plan. The New 1997 Plan provides for the issuance of 2,300,000 shares plus any shares which
have been reserved under the 1998 Directors Option Plan (“Directors Plan”) and any shares returned to the
Directors Plan. In connection with the approval of the New 1997 Plan, an additional 716,711 shares were
authorized. On June 15, 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 1997
Stock Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under
the 1997 Stock Plan. The Company registered an additional 1,700,000 shares of its common stock under a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC with an effective date of July 20, 2010. Under the
amended plan, each restricted share award consumes 1.78 of shares available and each stock option award
consumes 1.0 share available. As of December 31, 2013, options to acquire 1,392,749 shares were outstanding
and a total of 1,890,354 shares remain available for future grants.

2001 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan

In August 2001, the Board of Directors adopted and approved the 2001 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan

(“2001 Plan”). Options granted under the 2001 Plan were exercisable at any time within ten years from the date
of grant or within ninety days of termination of employment, or such shorter time as may be provided in the
related stock option agreement. As of June 15, 2010 the stockholders approved certain changes to the 1997 Stock
Plan that included the following: (i) there would be no additional grants from the 2001 Stock Plan; and (ii) any

70

shares returned (or that would have otherwise returned) to the 2001 Plan, would be added to the shares of
common stock authorized for issuance under the 1997 Stock Plan. The 2001 Plan terminated in August 2011 and
options to acquire 68,810 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2013.

11. Stock Repurchases

All share repurchase programs are authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and are announced

publicly. On March 18, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of $5.0
million. The Company repurchased 59,510 shares at an average price of $7.31 during the year ended
December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $4.6 million in share value that could still be

401(k) Plan

The Company’s 401(k) plan covers all of the U.S. employees beginning the first of the month following the

first month of 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 recorded expense for employer contributions to the
401(k) plan of $0.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 respectively.

Foreign Employee Benefit Plans

The Company contributes to various defined contribution retirement plans for foreign employees. The
Company made contributions to these plans of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, and $0.2
million for the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011 respectively.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company provided an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“EDCP”) for executive officers, senior

managers and directors. Under the EDCP, the executives could select to defer up to 50% of salary and up to
100% of cash bonuses. In addition, the Company provided a 4% matching cash contribution which vests
depending upon the number of completed years of participation in the EDCP. The Company funded the
obligation related to the EDCP with corporate-owned life insurance policies. The executive had a choice of
investment alternatives from a menu of mutual funds offered by the insurance company. In November 2012, the
Company’s Board of Directors authorized the termination of the EDCP and on December 27, 2013, the plan was
terminated. The funds at the life insurance company were remitted to the Company and subsequently invested by
the Company to fund the obligation. The participants will be receive the value of his or her account in January

73

2015. Upon separation of employment earlier than January 2015, the executive will receive the value of his or
her account in accordance with the provisions of the plan. Because the funds from the insurance company were
received in January 2014, $1.9 million was included in prepaid assets and other receivables on the balance sheet
at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2012, the cash surrender value of such policies was $1.6 million,
included in other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2013 and December 31,
2012, the deferred compensation obligation was $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, included in long-
term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

In the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded goodwill and intangible assets impairment

expense of $13.6 million.

The Company discovered accounting irregularities in its TelWorx operations related to the premature or
otherwise improper recognition of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 (Q3 2012). Based on the
resulting investigation and analysis, the Company concluded that the error was not material to the previously
reported quarterly period. The Company applied the guidance of SAB Topic 108, Considering the Effects of
Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements and corrected
the error by adjusting revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 (Q4 2012). As such, the Q4 2012
unaudited interim financial information presented above reflects an out-of-period adjustment to correct Q3 2012
net revenues, net income before taxes, and net income after taxes, which were overstated by $618, $132 and $78,
respectively.

15. Related Parties

Through October 2013, the Company’s lease for its Lexington, North Carolina facility was with Scronce
Real Estate LLC. Scronce Real Estate, LLC is owned by Tim and Brenda Scronce, the wife of Tim Scronce. Tim
and/or Brenda Scronce were the majority owners of the TelWorx entities as defined in Note 11 – Commitments
and Contingencies above. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary PCTelWorx, Inc. (“PCTelWorx”),
purchased certain of the assets of TelWorx in July 2012. Tim Scronce worked for the Company until his
resignation in December 2012 and Brenda Scronce never worked for the Company. Through December 31, 2013,
a total of $0.2 million has been paid under this lease. In May 2013, the Company gave notice of early termination
of the lease which became effective in October 2013. The Company signed a new lease for an office facility in
Lexington effective August 1, 2013. The new lease is not with a related party.

Through October 2013, the Company’s lease for its Melbourne, Florida office was with 3dB, LLC, a real

estate entity co-owned by Robert Joslin, Scott Clay, and Greg Akin. As co-owners of Envision Wireless, Joslin,
Clay and Akin sold the assets of Envision Wireless to the Company in October 2011. Joslin, Clay, and Akin
continue to work for the Company. This lease expired in October 2013. In September 2013, the Company signed
a five-year lease for new office space in Melbourne, Florida. The new lease is not with a related party.

16. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

17. Subsequent Events

are to be recorded in and/or disclosed in the Company’s financial statements and footnotes. The financial
statements are considered to be available to be issued at the time that they are filed with the SEC. There are no

Item 9A: Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in our reports that we
file or submit under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within
the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors,
management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:

•

•

•

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of PCTEL;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of PCTEL are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of PCTEL

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition of PCTEL’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2013. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the
criteria described in “1992 Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on our management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management has
concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
