No other customer accounted for 10% or greater of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2016 and no other customer accounted from 10%or greater of accounts receivable at December 31, 2016.There were no customers that accounted for 10% or greater of revenues or accounts receivable during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, or 2014, respectively.International ActivitiesThe following table shows the percentage of revenues by geographic location during the last three fiscal years: Years Ended December 31, Region 2016 2015 2014 Asia Pacific 21% 9% 11%Europe, Middle East, & Africa 8% 10% 11%Other Americas 6% 6% 5%Total Foreign sales 35% 25% 27%Total Domestic sales 65% 75% 73% 100% 100% 100% See Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements for further geographical information.BacklogSales of our products and services are generally made pursuant to standard purchase orders, which are officially acknowledged according to standard terms and conditions. Thebacklog is useful for scheduling production, but is not necessarily a meaningful indicator of future product revenues as the order to ship cycle is extremely short.Research and DevelopmentWe recognize that a strong technology base is essential to our long-term success and we have made a substantial investment in engineering, research and development. We willcontinue to devote substantial resources to product development and patent submissions. The patent submissions are primarily for defensive purposes, rather than for potential licenserevenue 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.4Research and development expenses include costs for hardware and related software development, prototyping, certification and pre-production costs. We spent approximately $10.2million, $11.2 million, and $11.7 m illion in the fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively, in research and development.Sales, Marketing and SupportWe supply our products to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment distributors, value added resellers (“VARs”) and OEMs. PCTEL’s directsales force is technologically sophisticated and sales executives have strong industry domain knowledge. Our direct sales force supports the sales efforts of our distributors and OEMresellers.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, materialsand events to support the sales organization. We spent approximately $13.8 million, $14.2 million, and $13.0 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively, for sales andmarketing support.ManufacturingWe 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 contractmanufacturers but are not dependent on any specific contract manufacturer. If any of our contract manufacturers are unable to provide satisfactory services for us, other contractmanufacturers are available, although engaging a new contract manufacturer could cause delays and additional costs. We have no material guaranteed supply contracts or long-termagreements 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 forinformation on purchase commitments.EmployeesAs of December 31, 2016, we had 503 full-time equivalent employees, consisting of 363 in operations, 56 in sales and marketing, 49 in research and development, and 35 in generaland administrative functions. Total full-time equivalent employees were 491 and 465 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Headcount increased by 12 at December 31, 2016from December 31, 2015 primarily due to the employees added at our Tianjin, China facility. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We consider employeerelations to be good.Available InformationOur annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to such reports, are available free of charge through our website assoon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Failure to compete successfully could materially harm ourprospects and financial results.The market for our products and services is highly fragmented and is served by many local providers. We may not be able to displace established competitors from their customer basewith our products and services.5Many of our present and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, ma rketing, technical and other resources with which to pursue engineering, manufacturing,marketing, and distribution of their products and delivery of their services. These competitors may succeed in establishing technology standards or strategic alliances in theconnectivity 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 indeveloping product technologies and services that are more effectiv e than those developed by our competitors. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to compete successfullyagainst 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 itscurrent 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.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 and services that address those needs. Our future success willdepend on our ability to introduce new products and services for the wireless market, anticipate improvements and enhancements in wireless technology and wireless standards, and todevelop products and services that are competitive in the rapidly changing wireless industry. Introduction of new products, product enhancements, and services will requirecoordination of our efforts with those of our customers, suppliers, and manufacturers to rapidly achieve volume production. If we fail to coordinate these efforts, develop productenhancements 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 andprospects will be harmed. We cannot assure that product introductions will meet the anticipated release schedules or that our wireless products will be competitive in themarket. Furthermore, given the evolving nature of the wireless market, there can be no assurance our products and technology will not be rendered obsolete by alternative orcompeting 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 acquisitionscould 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 orservices, including wireless products and technology. We may also make acquisitions of or investments in, businesses that we believe could expand our distribution channels. Even ifwe 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 fora transaction is paid in common stock, this would further dilute our existing stockholders. We may also incur debt to pay for an acquisition.6Our gross profit may vary based on the mix of s ales of our products and services, and these variations may cause our net income to decline.Depending on the mix of our products and services sold, our gross profit could vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Generally, antenna products and engineering services have alower profit margin than scanning receiver products creating the variance in gross profits related to profit mix. A variance or decrease of our gross profit could have a negative impacton our financial results and cause our net income to decline.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 customercommences 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 development and commercial introduction of products incorporating new technologies frequently are delayed.A significant portion of our operating expenses is relatively fixed and is largely based on our forecasts of volume and timing of orders. The lengthy sales cycles make forecasting thevolume 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. Ifcustomer 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 ownassembly 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 deliverycommitments 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 supplieror 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 ourproducts.We assemble our antenna products in our facilities located in Illinois and China and scanning receivers at our facility in Maryland. We may experience delays, disruptions, capacityconstraints 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 anumber of our antenna products manufactured in China via contract manufacturers. Any disruption of our own or contract manufacturers' operations could cause us to delay productshipments, 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 orinsufficient parts to build our products, either of which could materially 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 officersand qualified engineering, 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 customersupport 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.Competition for personnel, especially qualified engineering personnel, is intense. We are particularly dependent on our ability to identify, attract, motivate and retain qualifiedengineers with the requisite education, background and industry experience. As of December 31, 2016, we employed a total of 49 people in our research and developmentdepartment. 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 beimpaired.7We may be subject to litigation regarding intellectual property associated with our business and this could be costly to defend and could prevent us from using or selling thechallenged technology.In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving intellectual property rights. We may be subject to claims in the future, including with respect to ourwireless business. Intellectual property claims against us, and any resulting lawsuits, may result in significant expenses and could subject us to significant liability for damages andinvalidate 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 andcould divert management's time and attention. This could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations. Any intellectual property litigation disputes related toour 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 atall, 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 infringedintellectual 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 andadversely affected. As a result, our results of operations 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 rightsor 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 newproducts after commencement of commercial shipments, which could result in loss of revenue, loss of customers or delay in market acceptance, any of which could adversely affect ourbusiness, operating results, and financial condition. We cannot assure that our efforts to monitor, develop, modify and implement appropriate test and manufacturing processes for ourproducts 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 harmour 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, Hong Kong, andChina. 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 ofsufficient protection for intellectual property rights; difficulties in recruiting and retaining personnel and managing international operations; repatriation of earnings; and less developedinfrastructure. 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 bematerially 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 resultingfrom 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 ourtax 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, costof revenues and operating margins and may result in foreign currency translation gains and losses.8Ri sks Related to Our IndustryChallenging 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 industry is characterized by rapidly changing technologies and rapidly changing competitive environments. If we are not successful in responding to these changes, ourproducts 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 indoing so, our products may not be accepted in the market or may become obsolete and we may not be able to compete effectively.Consolidation and vertical integration in our industry, and particularly integration of our customers with our competitors, may significantly reduce our ability to successfully marketour products to long-standing customers and may adversely affect our vertically integrated customers’ ability to choose our products even if our products are technologically superior.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 ourprofitability.The jurisdiction of the FCC extends to the entire communications industry, including our customers and their products and services that incorporate our products. Future FCCregulations affecting the broadband access services industry, our customers or our products may harm our business. For example, future FCC regulatory policies that affect theavailability 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 policiesthat affect the specifications of wireless data devices may impede certain of our customers' ability to manufacture their products profitably, which could, in turn, reduce demand for ourproducts. Furthermore, international regulatory bodies are beginning to adopt standards for the communications industry. Although our business has not been hurt by any regulationsto 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, whichwould reduce our profitability.Risks Related to our Common StockThe trading price of our stock price may be volatile based on a number of factors, many of which are not under our control.Our stock can experience significant changes in price on a percentage basis. The common stock price fluctuated between a high of $6.00 and a low of $4.36 in 2016. Our stock pricecan be subject to wide fluctuation 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,9 •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 volumefluctuations. 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 decline andmay 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 mayfavor. 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 classifiedboard 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 discouragingothers 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 rumoredtakeover 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 inour 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, privilegesand restrictions of this preferred 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 adverselyaffected 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 controltransaction without further action by our stockholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock may decline.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 ourfinancial 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 ofour 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 aretaking 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 financialreporting 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 inan 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.Item 1B: Unresolved Staff CommentsNone.10Item 2: P ropertiesThe following table lists our main facilities: Lease Term Location Square feet Owned/Leased Beginning Ending SegmentBloomingdale, Illinois 75,517 Owned N/A N/A Connected Solutions and CorporateTianjin, China 44,289 Leased 2012 2020 Connected SolutionsGermantown, Maryland 20,704 Leased 2012 2020 RF SolutionsLexington, North Carolina 5,630 Leased 2013 2019 Connected SolutionsBeijing, China 5,393 Leased 2016 2020 Connected SolutionsEnglewood, Colorado 4,759 Leased 2015 2020 RF SolutionsMelbourne, Florida 3,600 Leased 2013 2018 RF Solutions Facility ChangesPursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 27, 2015 with Nexgen, we assumed the lease for office space in Schaumburg, Illinois consisting of 6,652 square feet. Thetotal lease obligation pursuant to this lease assumption was $0.3 million. The lease contained a one-time option to elect an early termination of the lease by August 31, 2016. In March2016, we exercised the early termination option and paid a fee of $0.1 million.In May 2015, we entered into a new five-year, five-month office lease in Englewood, Colorado consisting of 4,579 square feet of leased space for our engineering services business. The total lease obligation pursuant to this lease was $0.6 million. The lease expires in October 2020; however, during the first quarter 2016, the Company vacated this facility and ismarketing this property for sublease. During 2016 we recorded restructuring expenses based on the remaining lease payments for the Englewood facility, net of estimated subleasepayments.Effective October 31, 2015, our lease for our mobile tower assembly facility in Pryor, Oklahoma expired in accordance with its terms. This lease was not renewed because of theCompany’s exit from the mobile tower product line.Due to recent growth in our China business for Connected Solutions and with the transfer of certain manufacturing activities to our Tianjin, China facility, in October 2015 we enteredinto a new five-year lease for additional manufacturing space in Tianjin consisting of 22,163 square feet which expands our footprint in Tianjin to 44,289 square feet. This lease expiresOctober 2020. The total lease obligation pursuant to this lease is $0.2 million.

The review highlights the principalfactors affecting earnings and the significant changes in balance sheet items for the years 2016 and 2015. Financial information for prior years is presented when appropriate. Theobjective of this financial review is to enhance investor understanding of the accompanying tables and charts, the consolidated financial statements, notes to financial statements, andfinancial statistics appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Where applicable, this discussion also reflects management’s insights with respect to known events andtrends that have or may reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition.Our 2016 revenues decreased by $9.9 million (9.3%), compared to 2015, due to lower revenues from services, site solutions, and scanning receivers. We recorded an operating loss of$8.9 million in 2016, compared to an operating loss of $5.8 million in 2015. The loss was the result of the negative gross margin impact of lower revenues and impairmentexpenses. Within operating expenses impairment charges of $5.8 million offset lower cash-based operating expenses in 2016 compared to 2015. We impaired the customerrelationships related to the services reporting unit. The 2016 net loss included adjustments of $12.6 million related to the valuation allowance for deferred taxes.IntroductionPCTEL operates in two segments for reporting purposes, Connected Solutions and RF Solutions. Our chief operating decision maker uses operating profits and identified assets for theConnected Solutions and RF Solutions segments to make operating decisions. Each segment has its own segment manager as well as its own engineering, sales and marketing, andoperational general and administrative functions. All of our accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralized basis through the corporatefunction. We manage 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 segmentlevel. 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 plansfor the segment.Connected Solutions SegmentPCTEL’s Connected Solutions segment designs and manufactures precision antennas. PCTEL antennas are deployed primarily in small cells, enterprise Wi-Fi access points, fleetmanagement and transit systems, and in equipment and devices for the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”). Revenue growth in these markets is driven by the increased use ofwireless communications and increased complexity trends occurring within them. PCTEL antennas are primarily sold to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) providers wherethey are designed into the customer’s solution.Competition in the antenna markets addressed by Connected Solutions is fragmented. Competitors include Amphenol, Comtelco, Laird, Mobile Mark, Pulse, and Radiall/Larsen. Weseek out product applications that command a premium for product performance and customer service, and avoids commodity markets.PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the antenna market. These include radio frequency engineering, mobile antenna design andmanufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.RF Solutions Segment PCTEL’s RF Solutions segment provides test tools and engineering services that improve the performance of wireless networks globally. Mobile operators, neutral hosts, andequipment manufacturers rely on PCTEL to analyze, design, and optimize next generation wireless networks. Revenue growth is driven by the implementation and roll out of newwireless technology standards (i.e. 1G to 2G, 2G to 3G, 3G to 4G, 4G to 5G, etc…). PCTEL test equipment is sold directly to wireless carriers or to OEM providers who integrate ourproducts into their solution which is then sold to wireless carriers.Competitors for PCTEL’s test tool products include OEMs such as Anritsu, Berkley Varitronics, Digital Receiver Technology, and Rohde and Schwarz.PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the test tool and related engineering services market. These include radio frequency engineering,digital signal processing (“DSP”) engineering, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.16Results of Operations for Continuing OperationsYears ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014(All amounts in tables, other than percentages, are in thousands)REVENUES BY SEGMENT 2016 compared to 2015 2015 compared to 2014 2016 $ Change % Change 2015 $ Change % Change 2014 Connected Solutions $65,763 $(3,816) -5.5% $69,579 $(2,754) -3.8% $72,333 RF Solutions 31,126 (6,129) -16.5% 37,255 2,142 6.1% 35,113 Corporate (176) 43 not meaningful (219) 63 not meaningful (282)Total $96,713 $(9,902) -9.3% $106,615 $(549) -0.5% $107,164 Revenues were approximately $96.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of 9.3% from the prior year. Revenues declined by $6.1 million (16.5%) for the RFSolutions segment due to lower revenues for both products and services. Approximately 71% of the decline in revenues in 2016 for the RF Solutions segment is due to the decline inservice revenues. The service revenue decline was due to a downturn in North American cellular carrier spending and slower Distributed Communication System (“DAS”)deployments. Revenues for the Connected Solutions segment decreased $3.8 million (5.5%) primarily due to lower kitting revenues and due to the exit from mobiletowers. Approximately 42% of the revenue decline during 2016 was due to the exit from mobile towers. Revenues were approximately $106.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 0.5% from the prior year. Revenues for the RF Solutions segment increased by $2.1million (6.1%) due to the additional revenue generated from the business acquired from Nexgen, offset by lower revenues for scanning receivers. Revenues for the ConnectedSolutions segment decreased $2.8 million (3.8%). Within Connected Solutions, revenues increased for antenna products, but decreased for cellular kitting products and mobiletowers. We exited the mobile tower product line as of September 30, 2015. The decline in revenues from mobile towers contributed 2.6% of the 3.8% decrease in revenues forConnected Solutions for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the prior year.GROSS PROFIT BY SEGMENT 2016 % of Revenues 2015 % of Revenues 2014 % of Revenues Connected Solutions $20,706 31.5% $20,426 29.4% $22,818 31.5%RF Solutions 14,485 46.5% 16,803 45.1% 20,743 59.1%Corporate 15 not meaningful 32 not meaningful 26 not meaningful Total $35,206 36.4% $37,261 34.9% $43,587 40.7% Gross profit was 36.4% for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of 1.5% compared to 2015. The RF Solution’s segment gross profit increased 1.4% to 46.5% due to morefavorable product mix with a higher proportion of scanning receivers versus services compared to 2015. The Connected Solutions segment’s gross profit was 31.5%, an increase of2.1% compared to 2015. The margin improvement was primarily due to more favorable product mix with a higher proportion of antenna revenues, less kitting revenues and the exitfrom the mobile tower product line. Gross profit was 34.9% for the year ended December 31, 2015, lower by 5.8% compared to 2014. The RF Solutions segment’s gross profit was 45.1%, a decrease of (14.0%). Thedecrease was due to less favorable product mix of lower revenues from scanning receivers and higher revenues from engineering services. The Connected Solutions segment’s grossprofit was 29.4%, lower by 2.1% compared to 2014. The margin decline was primarily due to the fixed cost capacity variance created by the decline in mobile tower revenue andcharges for excess inventories.17CONSOLIDATED OPERATING EXPENSES % of Revenues 2016 2016 Change 2015 2015 Change 2014 2016 2015 2014 Research and development $10,158 $(1,047) $11,205 $(531) $11,736 10.5% 10.5% 11.0%Sales and marketing 13,810 (386) 14,196 1,235 12,961 14.3% 13.3% 12.1%General and administrative 12,051 (348) 12,399 (420) 12,819 12.5% 11.6% 12.0%Amortization of intangible assets 1,651 (1,775) 3,426 1,459 1,967 1.7% 3.2% 1.8%Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets 5,785 5,624 161 161 0 6.0% 0.2% 0.0%Restructuring charges 664 (966) 1,630 1,630 0 0.7% 1.5% 0.0% $44,119 $1,102 $43,017 $3,534 $39,483 45.6% 40.3% 36.8% RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTResearch and development expenses decreased $1.0 million from 2015 to 2016 due to reductions in expenses of $0.9 million for RF Solutions and $0.3 million for ConnectedSolutions, offset by an increase of $0.2 million for stock compensation. The decrease in RF Solutions is due to headcount reductions in the third quarter 2015 for scanning receiversand in the first quarter 2016 for SeeHawk analytics. Research and development expenses decreased $0.5 million from 2014 to 2015. Development expenses for scanning receivers declined $1.7 million and stock compensation expensesdeclined $0.2 million, offsetting $1.4 million of development expenses related to SeeHawk analytics. Development expenses declined for scanning receivers because the IB flex ®scanning receiver was launched in 2014.We had 49, 61, and 57 full-time equivalent employees in research and development at December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.SALES AND MARKETINGSales 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 decreased $0.4 million from 2015 to 2016 as expenses declined by $0.7 million within Connected Solutions and declined by $0.1 million within RFSolutions, offset by an increase of $0.4 million for stock compensation. The decrease from Connected Solutions is primarily due to headcount reductions in marketing and site solutionsales.Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.2 million from 2014 to 2015. The increase consisted of $1.0 million related to the business acquired from Nexgen and $0.6 million relatedto sales headcount and marketing expenses, offset by a $0.4 million reduction in stock compensation expenses.We had 56, 61, and 65 full-time equivalent employees in sales and marketing at December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVEGeneral and administrative expenses include costs associated with the general management, finance, human resources, information technology, legal, public company costs, and otheroperating expenses to the extent not otherwise allocated to other functions.General and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million from 2015 to 2016 as decreases in Nexgen related expenses and other corporate expenses offset higher stock compensationexpenses. In 2015, we incurred $1.3 million in expenses related to the Nexgen acquisition and $0.1 million in legal expenses related to the TelWorx SEC investigation that did notreoccur in 2016. Other corporate expenses were lower by $0.4 million in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to lower employee costs. Stock compensation expense was $1.5million higher in 2016 compared to 2015 because of higher expense for service-based restricted stock of $1.0 million, expense for stock bonuses of $0.4 million, and because 2015included a credit of $0.1 million related to performance awards that did not vest. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million from 2014 to 2015 due to declines of $1.2 million for legal and professional fees associated with the TelWorx SECinvestigation, $0.7 million for stock compensation expenses, and $0.2 million related to expenses for the short-term incentive plan, offsetting $1.7 million of expenses related to theNexgen acquisition.18We had 35, 40, and 43 full-time equivalent employees in general and administrative functions at December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETSAmortization expense within operating expenses was approximately $1.7 million in 2016 compared to $3.4 million in 2015. The decrease of $1.7 million is attributable to certainassets being fully amortized in 2015 and the impact of the impairment of customer relationships at June 30, 2016. Amortization declined by $0.7 million because of assets forConnected Solutions being fully amortized in 2015 and declined by $0.6 million because of assets for RF Solutions being fully amortized in 2015. Amortization declined by $0.4million as a result of the asset impairment at June 30, 2016.Amortization expense was approximately $3.4 million in 2015 compared to $2.0 million in 2014. The increase of $1.4 million is due to amortization expense related to intangibleassets acquired from Nexgen.IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETSDuring 2016, we recorded total impairment expense of $5.8 million related to customer relationships for the services reporting unit within the RF Solutions segment, consisting of $4.7million at June 30, 2016 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the revenue and contribution margin of the services reporting unit were below the forecasts. The results and revised forecast were reflectiveof a long-term slowdown in the DAS market which is the primary market addressed by our services offering. We considered the changes to our forecast and the industry and markettrends as a triggering event to assess the intangible assets of the services reporting units for impairment. We reviewed our intangible assets for impairment by performing a test ofrecoverability. The cash flow forecast prepared by us included assumptions for revenues, gross margins, and operating expenses. The test of recoverability failed because theundiscounted cash flows were below the carrying value of the services reporting unit. We calculated the fair value of the services reporting unit with the assistance of a third-partyvaluation firm.For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the revenues and contribution margin for the services reporting unit declined sequentially. Q4 2016 gross margins were negativelyimpacted by the lower volume and by lower average margin on individual projects. We lowered our profit forecast for 2017 compared to the forecast prepared for the 2017 operatingplan. The new forecast was negatively impacted by a lower than normal sales backlog at December 31, 2016 as well as no known large projects in the sales funnel. Further, based onmanagement’s review of the market and industry as of year-end 2016, a long-term recovery is not expected. We determined that the revision to the forecast for services was atriggering event for its review of intangible assets for impairment. We reviewed our intangible assets for impairment by performing a test of recoverability. The cash flow forecast thatwe prepared included assumptions for revenues, gross margins, and operating expenses. The test of recoverability failed because the undiscounted cash flows were below the carryingvalue of the services reporting unit. The impairment charge of $1.1 million represented the remaining value of the customer relationships as of December 31, 2016.As part of the our annual impairment test for goodwill as of October 31, 2015, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $0.2 million related to our RF Services reporting unitbecause its fair value was below its carrying value. We recorded no goodwill impairments in 2014. See the discussion of this goodwill impairment within the critical accountingestimates section of this Item 7 and see Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for information related to our evaluation of goodwill in the fourth quarter 2015.RESTRUCTURING CHARGESWe incurred restructuring expense of $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. No restructuring expenses were recorded for theyear ended December 31, 2014.During the first quarter 2016, we reduced headcount in our RF Solutions segment related to services and SeeHawk analytics, and exited from our Colorado office in order toconsolidate facility space. The restructuring expense incurred for lease terminations includes the remaining obligations under the lease, net of assumed proceeds for a sublease. As ofDecember 31, 2016, the Colorado office has not been subleased. The restructuring expense in 2016 consisted of $0.3 million in employee severance and payroll related costs, $0.3million for lease terminations, and $0.1 million related to fixed asset disposals. The restructuring expense incurred for lease terminations includes the remaining obligations under thelease, net of assumed proceeds for a sublease. As of December 31, 2016, the Colorado office has not been subleased. In June 2015, we committed to a restructuring program for reductions in U.S. headcount and the exit from the mobile towers product line. To lower operating and production costs, wereduced headcount in engineering related to scanning receivers, in U.S. operations for Connected Solutions, and related to the mobile tower product line. We terminated 51 employeesbetween June and December 2015 and recorded severance and other employee benefits of $1.2 million. Our mobile towers were primarily sold into the oil and gas19exploration market in North America. The mobile towers were used to primarily provide a communications link to an oil drilling site or lighting for a site under construction. Thedecline in oil prices caused a decline in related mobile tower sal es. We made the decision to exit the mobile tower product line due to the anticipated long term effect on revenue fromdepressed oil prices, and one of our two tower suppliers filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in June 2015 as a result of the decline in sales . Mobile towers were not a key element of ourkitting operation or antenna business within Connected Solutions. Our exit from the mobile tower product line did not meet the accounting guidance for discontinued operations. Theexit from mobile towers did not constitute a strategic shift in our operations. We recorded a charge of $0.4 million related to write-off of intangible assets related to the mobile towersproduct line.OPERATING (LOSS) PROFIT BY SEGMENT 2016 % of Revenues 2015 % of Revenues 2014 % of Revenues Connected Solutions $7,804 11.9% $5,040 7.2% $7,357 10.2%RF Solutions (6,738) -21.6% (298) -0.8% 7,333 20.9%Corporate (9,979) not meaningful (10,498) not meaningful (10,586) not meaningful Total $(8,913) -9.2% $(5,756) -5.4% $4,104 3.8% Total operating loss declined $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015. The decline is largely attributed to $2.1 million in lower gross profit and $5.8million in impairment expenses related to intangible assets for our services reporting unit, offsetting lower restructuring charges and lower cash-based operating expenses. Total operating profit declined $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 2014. The decline is largely attributed to $6.3 million lower gross profit previouslydiscussed, $1.6 million of restructuring costs, and a $1.5 million increase in amortization of intangible assets from the Nexgen acquisition.OTHER INCOME, NET 2016 2015 2014 Settlement income $0 $3,160 $1,005 Insurance proceeds 5 102 639 Interest income 100 55 85 Foreign exchange gains (losses) 13 (33) (49)Other, net (6) 3 (14) $112 $3,287 $1,666 Percentage of revenues 0.1% 3.1% 1.6% Other income, net consists of interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, insurance proceeds, and income from legal settlements.For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recorded interest income of $100 and foreign exchange gains of $13.For the year ended December 31, 2015, an Amendment to the Nexgen APA resulted in settlement income of $3.2 million consisting of $2.3 million from the release of the Nexgenescrow fund, $0.8 million from the collection of previously excluded accounts receivables, and $0.1 million related to the reversal of the contingent liability for the earnout. We alsoreceived $0.1 million in insurance proceeds related to claims for legal and professional expenses for the SEC investigation of the TelWorx Parties. The legal expenses and professionalfees related to the insurance claim were recorded in general and administrative expenses. We recorded interest income of $55 and foreign exchange losses of $33 during the year endedDecember 31, 2015.For the year ended December 31, 2014, settlement income includes $0.9 million related to legal settlements with professional service firms that assisted the TelWorx parties with thesale of the business to PCTEL. We received $0.6 million in insurance proceeds related to claims for legal and professional expenses for the SEC investigation of the TelWorxParties. The legal expenses and professional fees related to the insurance claim were recorded in general and administrative expenses. We recorded interest income of $85 and foreignexchange losses of $49 during the year ended December 31, 2014.20EXPENSE (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES 2016 2015 2014 Expense (benefit) for income taxes $8,880 $(901) $1,158 Effective tax rate -101.0% 36.5% 20.1% The effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34.0% by approximately 135% during 2016 primarily due to an adjustment to the valuation allowance for deferredtaxes. Based on lower future projected U.S. tax income, we recorded adjustments of $12.6 million to the valuation allowance. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34.0% by approximately 2.5% during 2015 primarily due to research and development credits and incremental tax onrepatriation of Israel funds. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34.0% by approximately 14.0% during 2014 primarily due to reversals of reserves foruncertain tax positions related to research credits and foreign withholding taxes. At December 31, 2016, we had net deferred tax assets of $4.5 million, which includes a valuation allowance of $13.3 million. We maintain a valuation allowance due to uncertaintiesregarding realizability. On a regular basis, management evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance atDecember 31, 2016 is primarily because the Company does not believe it will generate sufficient US taxable income to realize a significant portion of its deferred tax assets. Thevaluation allowance at December 31, 2015 related to credits and state operating losses that we do not expect to realize because they correspond to tax jurisdictions where we no longerhave significant operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Net (loss) income $(17,681) $(1,568) $4,612 Charges for depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash items 22,997 8,085 8,720 Changes in operating assets and liabilities 5,090 2,557 (5,356)Net cash provided by operating activities 10,406 9,074 7,976 Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities 4,375 (7,689) (6,014)Net cash used in financing activities (6,902) (14,712) (3,314)Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year $14,855 $7,055 $20,432 Short-term investments at the end of the year 18,456 24,728 39,577 Working capital at the end of the year $55,152 $59,041 $88,573 Liquidity and Capital Resources OverviewAt December 31, 2016, our cash, cash equivalents, and investments were approximately $33.3 million and we had working capital of approximately $55.2 million. Our primary sourceof 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 withcash from operations, acquisitions and divestitures, 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 sheetexpansion. We expect this historical trend to continue in the future.Within investing activities, capital spending historically ranges between 2.0% and 5.0% of our revenues and the primary use of capital is for manufacturing and engineeringdevelopment requirements. Our capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2016 was approximately 2.0% of revenues. We historically have significant transfersbetween 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, andother 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 cashand 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 investmentsand 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 StockPurchase Plan (“ESPP”) and have historically used funds to repurchase shares of our21common stock through our share repurchase programs and through quarterly dividends. Whether this activity results in our being a net user of funds ver sus a net generator of funds islargely dependent on our stock price during any given year.Operating Activities:We generated $10.4 million of funds from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2016. Adjustments related to non-cash items within net income were $23.0 millionfor the year ended December 31, 2016 as the deferred tax provision was $8.2 million, impairment expense was $5.8 million, amortization and depreciation was $5.5 million, and stock-based compensation was $4.0 million. Within the balance sheet, we generated cash of $2.9 million from the reduction of inventories and $1.7 million from the reduction of accountsreceivable. Inventories decreased $2.9 million due to lower inventories for Connected Solutions as a result of improved processes for forecasting and reductions in minimum orderquantities for purchases. Accounts receivable generated cash primarily due to more favorable timing of revenues with the fourth quarter 2016 compared to the fourth quarter 2015. Weused $0.4 million for payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. The tax payments related to our stock issued for restricted stock awards.We generated $9.1 million of funds from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2015. Adjustments related to non-cash items within net income were $8.1 million forthe year ended December 31, 2015 as amortization and depreciation was $7.1 million and stock-based compensation was $1.9 million. Within the balance sheet, we generated cash of$8.3 million from accounts receivable, of which $5.4 million related to the collection of opening balance sheet accounts receivable for Nexgen. We also generated cash from accountsreceivable because revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 were $3.3 million lower than the quarter ended December 31, 2014. We used $1.9 million for the payout of theexecutive deferred compensation plan, and we used $1.5 million to pay annual 2014 accruals, including short-term incentive plan bonuses and sales commissions. Inventoriesincreased $1.4 million due to higher inventories for Connected Solutions. Inventories increased because of the transition of additional production to China from the U.S. and because ofincreased safety stock. We used $0.4 million for payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. The tax payments related to our stock issued for restricted stock awards.We generated $8.0 million of funds from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2014. Cash from operations consisted of approximately $13.3 million of cashgenerated from our income statement, offset by approximately $5.3 million of cash used within our balance sheet. Within our income statement activities, we used $1.0 million forpayroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. The tax payments related to our stock issued for restricted stock awards. On the balance sheet, we used cash of $5.3 million due tohigher accounts receivable. Accounts receivable increased due to higher revenues during the quarter ended compared to quarter ended December 31, 2013 and due to the timing ofrevenues with the quarters. Revenues were $3.4 million higher for the three months ended December 31, 2014 versus the comparable period in 2013. We used cash of $1.9 millionfrom the increase of inventories. Our inventories were higher for RF Solutions due to the introduction of new products, and our inventories were higher for Connected Solutions tomeet the demand for shipments in the first quarter 2015. We generated cash of $1.1 million within the balance sheet due to higher accounts payable. Accounts payable increased due toincreases in inventories and due to the timing of vendor purchases during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.Investing Activities:Our investing activities provided $4.3 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2016. Redemptions and maturities of our short-term investments during the year provided$80.5 million in cash and we rotated $74.3 million of cash into new short-term investments. We used $1.9 million for capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2016.Our investing activities used $7.7 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2015. We used $20.5 million for the purchase of the Nexgen business in February 2015. Wefunded the acquisition from our cash and from investments that matured during January and February 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2015, redemptions and maturities ofour short-term investments provided $45.0 million in cash and we rotated $30.1 million of cash into new short-term investments. We used $2.1 million for capital expenditures duringthe year ended December 31, 2015.Our investing activities used $6.0 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2014 as we used $3.5 million of cash for investments and used $2.5 million for capitalexpenditures. Redemptions and maturities of our investments in short-term bonds during the year ended December 31, 2014 provided $55.1 million in funds. We rotated $58.6 millionof cash into new short-term bonds during the year ended December 31, 2014.Financing Activities:We used $6.9 million in cash for financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2016. We used $4.1 million to repurchase shares in the stock repurchase program and $3.5million for cash dividends paid quarterly during 2016. We received $0.6 million in proceeds from the purchase of shares through our ESPP.22We used $14.7 million in cash for financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2015. We used $12.1 million to repurchase shares in the stock repurchase program and $3.6million for cash dividends paid quarterly during 2015. We received $1.0 million in proceeds from the purchase of shares through our ESPP and the exercise of stock options.We used $3.3 million in cash for financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014. We paid $3.0 million for quarterly cash dividends and used $1.6 million to repurchaseshares in the stock repurchase program. We received $1.3 million in proceeds from the purchase of shares through our ESPP and the exercise of stock options.Contractual Obligations and Commercial CommitmentsThe following summarizes our contractual obligations at December 31, 2016 for office and product assembly facility leases, office equipment leases and purchase obligations, and theeffect such obligations are expected to have on the liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in thousands): Payments Due by Period Less than After Total 1 year 1-3 years 4-5 years 5 years Operating leases: Facility(a) $2,757 $874 $1,883 $0 $0 Equipment and equipment maintenance(b) $217 $62 $127 $28 $0 Purchase obligations(c) $5,346 $5,346 $0 $0 $0 Total $8,320 $6,282 $2,010 $28 $0 (a)Future payments for the lease of office and production facilities.(b)Future payments for the lease of office equipment.(c)Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of inventory, as well as for other goods and services, in the ordinary course of business, and excludes the balances for purchasescurrently recognized as liabilities on the balance sheet.As of December 31, 2016, we had obligations through 2021 for capital leases of $241 related to office and manufacturing equipment. See Note 7 of the consolidated financialstatements for more information on capital leases.We have a liability related to uncertain positions for income taxes of $0.9 million at December 31, 2016. We do not know when this obligation will be paid.Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsNone.Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesThe preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect thereported 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 expensesduring the period reported. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Management bases its estimates and judgments onhistorical experience, market trends, and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under differentassumptions 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 products when title transfers, which is predominantly upon shipment fromthe factory. For products shipped on consignment, we recognize revenue upon delivery from the consignment location. Revenue recognition is also based on estimates of productreturns, allowances, discounts, and other factors. These estimates are based on historical data. We believe that the estimates used are appropriate, but differences in actual experienceor changes in estimates may affect future results. We recognize revenue for our network engineering services under the completed performance method. Most services occur in oneweek or less, and revenue is generally recognized when the engineering reports are completed and issued to the customer.23Accounts Receivable a nd Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of acustomer’s financial condition and collateral is generally not required. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowanceis 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’screditworthiness, or against defaults that are higher than what has been experienc ed 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 forexcess 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 carryingvalue 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 makeassumptions 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 five years for antenna products and scanning receiver products. Our warranty reserve is based on historicalsales 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 makeassumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, including future rates of product failure and repair costs. Changes in warranty reserves could be material to our financialstatements.Stock-based Compensation - We recognize stock-based compensation expense for all equity awards in accordance with fair value recognition provisions. Under the fair valueprovisions, we recognize stock-based compensation expense net of an estimated forfeiture rate, recognizing compensation cost only for those awards expected to vest over requisiteservice 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 currentlyavailable market place data. While management believes that the estimates used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect our futurestock-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 todifferences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferredtax 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 orsettled. 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 that arisefrom 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 toour 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 suchmatters could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex taxregulations. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be required. If we ultimatelydetermine 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 longernecessary. 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 weprevail 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 materiallyaffected. 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 wouldbe recognized as a reduction in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution.24Valuation 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 portionof 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 andsources of taxable income that may enable utilization. We maintain an existing valuatio n allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal. Changes in theamount 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 t he realizability ofthe 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 taxplanning strategies. These estimates require us to e xercise judgment about our future results, the prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economicenvironment in which we do business. It is possible that the actual results will differ from the assumptions and require adjustme nts to the allowance. Adjustments to the allowancewould 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 dateif 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 aqualitative 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 qualitativeassessment 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 eachreporting 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 isperformed 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 ofimpairment.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. Wecalculate the fair value of each reporting unit by using the income approach based on the present value of future discounted cash flows. The discounted cash flow method requires us touse 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 useto manage the underlying reporting units, there is significant judgment in determining the cash flows attributable to these reporting units, including markets and market share, salesvolumes and mix, research and development expenses, tax rates, capital spending, discount rate and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts are based on reporting unit operatingplans for the early years and business projections in later years. We believe the accounting estimate related to the valuation of goodwill is a critical accounting estimate because itrequires 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 valuationtechnique to establish a range of values 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 bothmethods have an equal probability of providing an appropriate fair value.Impairment Reviews of Finite-Lived Intangible Assets - We evaluate the carrying value of finite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment wheneverindicators of impairment exist. We test finite-lived intangible assets for recoverability using undiscounted cash flows. Although we base cash flow forecasts on assumptions that areconsistent 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 onoperating plans and business projections. We compare the tax-affected undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value exceeds the sum of theundiscounted cash flows of the asset group, we would assess the fair value of the intangible assets in the group to determine if an impairment charge should be recognized in thefinancial 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 andvolumes for products that involve new technologies and applications where customer acceptance of new products or timely introduction of new technologies into their networks areuncertain. The recognition of impairment could be material to our financial statements.Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 as part of the goodwill impairment test. The amount of the impairment charge to berecognized would now be the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss to be recognized cannot exceed the amount of25goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15,2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are evaluating the provisions of ASU 2017-04 and its impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the followingeight specific cash flow issues: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that areinsignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insuranceclaims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees;beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This guidance will be effective for us on January1, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13") regarding ASC Topic 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which modifies themeasurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The amendments will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating this guidance and theimpact it will have on our consolidated financial statements .In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU No. 2016-09 affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. ASU No. 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions,including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows, including recognizing all excess taxbenefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement rather than in additional paid-in capital. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for financial statementsissued for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. Upon adoption, we anticipate recognizing deferred tax assets for allexcess tax benefits that had not been previously recognized. This will be accomplished through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $0.6 million. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends existing guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for therights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. This ASU also provides clarificationssurrounding the presentation of the effects of leases in the income statement and statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. We are currentlyevaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in thisupdate require that deferred tax assets and liabilities be entirely classified as noncurrent within the statement of financial position. Effective December 31, 2015, we early adopted thebalance sheet classification of deferred taxes on a prospective basis. The guidance requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent rather than split betweencurrent and noncurrent. Approximately $1.8 million in current deferred tax assets was reclassified to long-term deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015.In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiringinventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 applies only to inventories for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in first-out andthe retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscalyears. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-11 and have preliminarily concluded that it will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which introduces a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognizerevenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for thosegoods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognitionprocess than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenueand cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes injudgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. The FASB has also issued the followingstandards which clarify ASU 2014-09 and have the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2016-20,26Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Pr actical Expedients, ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligationsand Licensing and ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations.We will commence our assessment of ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2017 and develop a project plan to guide the implementation. This project plan includes analyzing thestandard’s impact on our contract portfolio, comparing our historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard and identifying potential differencesfrom applying the requirements of the new standard to its contracts. We will draft an updated accounting policy, evaluate new disclosure requirements and identify and implementappropriate changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. We expect to adopt this new standard using themodified retrospective method that will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on theconsolidated financial statements.Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market RiskWe are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit risk, and investment risk as follows:Interest Rate RiskWe 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 ourinvestment activities is to preserve principal without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents, short-term investments, andlong-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 higherrated 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 amaterial decrease in interest income earned through maturity on investments held at December 31, 2016. We do not hold or issue derivatives, derivative commodity instruments orother financial instruments for trading purposes.Foreign Currency RiskWe 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 bydenominating the majority of transactions in U.S. dollars. However, the value of our billings in Chinese yuan is increasing due to the growth of the Connected Solutions business inChina. We manage these operating activities at the local level and revenues, costs, assets and liabilities are generally denominated in local currencies, thereby mitigating the riskassociated with changes in foreign exchange. However, our results of operations and assets and liabilities are reported in U.S. dollars and thus will fluctuate with changes in exchangerates between such local currencies and the U.S. dollar. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact overall expectedprofitability.We had $1.3 million of cash in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2016. We ceased ongoing operations of our Israel subsidiary during the third quarter 2016. We expect toliquidate the subsidiary and repatriate its remaining cash during 2017. We do not expect the foreign currency exchange related to the repatriation of these funds to have a materialimpact on the financial statements. As of December 31, 2016, we had no intention of repatriating the cash in our foreign bank accounts in China or the U.K. If we decide to repatriatethe cash in these foreign bank accounts, we may experience difficulty in repatriating the cash in a timely manner. We may also be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and taxes ifwe repatriate these funds.Credit RiskThe 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 notmeeting its payment obligations. Our customers are concentrated in the wireless communications industry. Estimates are used in determining an allowance for amounts which we maynot 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 assales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. We perform ongoing evaluations of customers' credit limits and financial condition. Generally, we do notrequire collateral from customers. Huawei accounted for approximately 17% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2016. No other customer accounts receivable balance represented10% or greater of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2016 and no customer’s accounts receivable balance represented 10% or greater of gross accounts receivable at December31, 2015. Our allowances for potential credit losses have historically been adequate compared to actual losses. 27One customer represented 10% or greater of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2016, and no customers represented 10% or greater of our revenues for the years endedDecember 31, 2015 or 2014.28Item 8: Financial Stateme nts and Supplementary DataPCTEL, INC.INDEX TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PageReports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 30 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 32 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 33 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 34 Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 35 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 36 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 37 Schedule II Valuation and Qualifying Accounts 68 29REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGIST ERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMBoard of Directors and StockholdersPCTEL, Inc.We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PCTEL, Inc.

These financial statements andfinancial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statementschedule 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 theaudit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting theamounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PCTEL, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.

(a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2016, based on criteriaestablished in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’smanagement is responsible 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.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal controlover financial reporting based on our audit.We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform theaudit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining anunderstanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internalcontrol based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for ouropinion.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 offinancial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policiesand 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, andthat receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonableassurance 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 futureperiods 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 Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in the 2013Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of the Company asof and for the year ended December 31, 2016, and our report dated March 15, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements./s/ Grant Thornton LLPChicago, IllinoisMarch 15, 201731PCTEL, INC.CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS(in thousands, except share data) December 31, December 31, 2016 2015 ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents $14,855 $7,055 Short-term investment securities 18,456 24,728 Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $273 and $314 at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively 19,101 21,001 Inventories, net 14,442 17,596 Prepaid expenses and other assets 1,548 1,586 Total current assets 68,402 71,966 Property and equipment, net 12,609 13,839 Goodwill 3,332 3,332 Intangible assets, net 3,275 11,378 Deferred tax assets, net 4,512 13,155 Other noncurrent assets 36 40 TOTAL ASSETS $92,166 $113,710 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Accounts payable $6,073 $6,735 Accrued liabilities 7,177 6,190 Total current liabilities 13,250 12,925 Other long-term liabilities 391 388 Total liabilities 13,641 13,313 Stockholders’ equity: Common stock, $0.001 par value, 100,000,000 shares authorized, 17,335,122 and 17,654,236 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively 17 18 Additional paid-in capital 134,480 135,714 Accumulated deficit (55,590) (35,320)Accumulated other comprehensive loss (382) (15)Total stockholders’ equity 78,525 100,397 TOTAL LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY $92,166 $113,710 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.32PCTEL, INC.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS(in thousands, except per share data) Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 REVENUES $96,713 $106,615 $107,164 COST OF REVENUES 61,507 69,354 63,577 GROSS PROFIT 35,206 37,261 43,587 OPERATING EXPENSES: Research and development 10,158 11,205 11,736 Sales and marketing 13,810 14,196 12,961 General and administrative 12,051 12,399 12,819 Amortization of intangible assets 1,651 3,426 1,967 Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets 5,785 161 0 Restructuring charges 664 1,630 0 Total operating expenses 44,119 43,017 39,483 OPERATING (LOSS) INCOME (8,913) (5,756) 4,104 Other income, net 112 3,287 1,666 (LOSS) INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES (8,801) (2,469) 5,770 Expense (benefit) for income taxes 8,880 (901) 1,158 NET (LOSS) INCOME $(17,681) $(1,568) $4,612 (Loss) Earnings per Share: Basic $(1.09) $(0.09) $0.25 Diluted $(1.09) $(0.09) $0.25 Weighted Average Shares: Basic 16,151 17,737 18,159 Diluted 16,151 17,737 18,389 Cash dividend per share $0.20 $0.20 $0.16 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.33PCTEL, INC.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME(in thousands, except per share data) Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 NET (LOSS) INCOME $(17,681) $(1,568) $4,612 OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS Foreign currency translation adjustments (367) (150) (74)COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME $(18,048) $(1,718) $4,538 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.34PCTEL, INC.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY(in thousands) Accumulated Other Total Additional Comprehensive Stockholders' Common Paid-In Retained Income Equity of Stock Capital Deficit (Loss) PCTEL, Inc.

PCTEL antennas are deployedin small cells, enterprise Wi-Fi access points, fleet management and transit systems, and in network equipment and devices for the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”). PCTEL’s RFSolutions segment p rovides test tools and engineering services that improve the performance of wireless networks globally. Mobile operators, neutral hosts, and equipmentmanufacturers rely on PCTEL to analyze, design, and optimize next generation wireless networks.Segment ReportingPCTEL operates in two segments for reporting purposes, Connected Solutions and RF Solutions. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses operating profits and identifiedassets for the Connected Solutions and RF Solutions segments to make operating decisions. Each segment has its own segment manager as well as its own engineering, sales andmarketing, and operational general and administrative functions. All of the Company’s accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralizedbasis 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 andinventory 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 operatingactivities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment.Connected Solutions SegmentPCTEL Connected Solutions designs and manufactures precision antennas. PCTEL antennas are deployed primarily in small cells, enterprise Wi-Fi access points, fleet managementand transit systems, and in equipment and devices for the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”). Revenue growth in these markets is driven by the increased use of wirelesscommunications and increased complexity trends occurring within them. PCTEL antennas are primarily sold to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) providers where they aredesigned into the customer’s solution.Competition in the antenna markets addressed by Connected Solutions is fragmented. Competitors include Amphenol, Comtelco, Laird, Mobile Mark, Pulse, and Radiall/Larsen. TheCompany seeks out product applications that command a premium for product performance and customer service, and avoids commodity markets.PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the antenna market. These include radio frequency engineering, mobile antenna design andmanufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.RF Solutions Segment PCTEL RF Solutions p rovides test tools and engineering services that improve the performance of wireless networks globally. Mobile operators, neutral hosts, and equipmentmanufacturers rely on PCTEL to analyze, design, and optimize next generation wireless networks. Revenue growth is driven by the implementation and roll out of new wirelesstechnology standards (i.e. 1G to 2G, 2G to 3G, 3G to 4G, 4G to 5G, etc…). PCTEL test equipment is sold directly to wireless carriers or to OEM providers who integrate theCompany’s products into their solution which is then sold to wireless carriers.Competitors for PCTEL’s test tool products include OEMs such as Anritsu, Berkley Varitronics, Digital Receiver Technology, and Rohde and Schwarz.PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the test tool and related engineering services market. These include radio frequency engineering,DSP engineering, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.37 Basis of ConsolidationThese consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect thereported 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 expensesduring the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.Foreign OperationsThe Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to its foreign operations and because products are sold internationally. The functional currency for the Company’sforeign 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 andliabilities and average monthly rates for revenue and expense accounts. Adjustments resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), aseparate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from other transactions originally in foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars are included in theconsolidated statements of operations. Net foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $13, $(33), and $(49) in theyears ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe Company follows accounting pronouncements for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize theuse 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 onassumptions 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, whichprioritizes 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 orsimilar 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 orliabilities.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 arefinancial 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 thatapproximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.Cash and Cash Equivalents and InvestmentsThe Company’s cash and investments consist of the following: December 31, December 31, 2016 2015 Cash $7,507 $6,077 Cash equivalents 7,348 978 Short-term investments 18,456 24,728 $33,311 $31,783 38Cash and Cash equivalentsAt December 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original maturities less than 90 days. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’scash equivalents were invested in highly liquid AAA rated money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such fundsutilize 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 AAAmoney 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 fairvalues 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 bythe Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the insurable limit of $250.At December 31, 2016, the Company had $7.5 million in cash and $7.3 million in cash equivalents and at December 31, 2015, the Company had $6.1 million in cash and $1.0 millionin cash equivalents. The Company had $0.9 million and $1.3 million of cash and cash equivalents in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015,respectively. Within the cash in foreign bank accounts, the Company had cash of $0.5 million and $0.8 million in China bank accounts at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015,respectively. The Company ceased ongoing operations of its subsidiary in Israel during the third quarter 2016. The Company expects to liquidate the subsidiary and repatriate itsremaining cash during 2017. In December 2015 the Company recorded the expense for the estimated incremental income tax of $0.1 million related to the repatriation of the fundsfrom Israel. The Company does not expect the foreign currency exchange related to the repatriation of these funds to have a material impact on the financial statements. As ofDecember 31, 2016, the Company had no intentions of repatriating the cash in its foreign bank accounts in the U.K. or China. If the Company decides to repatriate the cash in theforeign bank accounts, it may experience difficulty in doing so in a timely manner. The Company may also be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and taxes if it repatriates thesefunds. The Company’s cash in its foreign bank accounts is not insured.InvestmentsAt December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s short-term investments consisted of pre-refunded municipal bonds, U.S. government agency bonds, AA or higher rated corporatebonds and certificates of deposit, all classified as held-to-maturity. At December 31, 2016, the Company had invested $7.8 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds and taxable bond funds, $5.6 million in AA rated or higher corporate bond funds, $2.6million in U.S. government agency bonds, and $2.5 million in certificates of deposit. The income and principal from the pre-refunded municipal bonds is secured by an irrevocabletrust of U.S. Treasury securities. The bonds have original maturities greater than 90 days and mature in 2017. The Company’s bonds are recorded at the purchase price and carried atamortized cost. The net unrealized gains (losses) were approximately $(9) and $1 at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Approximately 6% and 11% of theCompany’s bonds were protected by bond default insurance at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.At December 31, 2015, the Company had invested $7.6 million in AA rated or higher corporate bond funds, $7.5 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds and taxable bond funds, $7.0million in U.S. government agency bonds, and $2.7 million in certificates of deposit. The Company categorizes its financial instruments within a fair value hierarchy according to accounting guidance for fair value. The fair value hierarchy is described under the FairValue of Financial Instruments in Note 1. For the Level 2 investments, the Company uses quoted prices of similar assets in active markets.Cash equivalents and Level 1 and Level 2 investments measured at fair value were as follows: December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash equivalents: Money market funds and other cash equivalents $7,349 $0 $0 $7,349 $978 $0 $0 $978 Investments: Pre-refunded municipal bonds 0 7,776 0 7,776 0 7,497 0 7,497 Corporate bonds 0 5,569 0 5,569 0 7,558 0 7,558 US government agency bonds 0 2,571 0 2,571 0 7,008 0 7,008 Certificates of deposit 2,530 0 0 2,530 2,666 0 0 2,666 Total $9,879 $15,916 $0 $25,795 $3,644 $22,063 $0 $25,707 39Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful AccountsAccounts 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 customersbased on an evaluation of a company’s financial condition and collateral is generally not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimateduncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on the Company’s assessment of known delinquent accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence ofthe collectability and the aging of accounts receivable. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.3 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The provisionfor doubtful accounts is included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.InventoriesInventories 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 December31, 2016 and 2015 were composed of raw materials, sub-assemblies, finished goods and work-in-process. The Company had consigned inventory of $0.4 million and $0.7 million atDecember 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company records allowances to reduce the value of inventory to the lower of cost or market, including allowances for excess andobsolete inventory. Reserves for excess inventory are calculated based on the Company’s estimate of inventory in excess of normal and planned usage. Obsolete reserves are based onthe Company’s identification of inventory where carrying value is above net realizable value. The allowance for inventory losses was $2.9 million and $2.2 million as of December 31,2016 and 2015, respectively.Inventories consisted of the following: December 31,2016 December 31,2015 Raw materials $8,718 $11,012 Work in process 1,486 917 Finished goods 4,238 5,667 Inventories, net $14,442 $17,596 Prepaid and other current assetsPrepaid assets are stated at cost and are amortized over the useful lives (up to one year) of the assets.Property and EquipmentProperty 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 overthree to five years, office equipment, manufacturing and test equipment and motor vehicles over five years, furniture and fixtures over seven years, and buildings over 30years. 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 propertyand equipment are included in cost of sales and operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.Property and equipment consisted of the following: December 31,2016 December 31,2015 Building $6,351 $6,227 Computers and office equipment 11,577 10,931 Manufacturing and test equipment 12,940 12,826 Furniture and fixtures 1,239 1,273 Leasehold improvements 1,191 1,001 Motor vehicles 20 42 Total property and equipment 33,318 32,300 Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization (22,479) (20,231)Land 1,770 1,770 Property and equipment, net $12,609 $13,839 40Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $3.2 million, $3.1 million, and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014,respectively. Amortization for capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense. See Note 7 for information related to capital leases.LiabilitiesAccrued liabilities consisted of the following: December 31,2016 December 31,2015 Payroll, bonuses, and other employee benefits $2,029 $1,179 Inventory receipts 1,622 1,628 Paid time off 1,230 1,271 Income and sales taxes 546 381 Warranties 394 348 Professional fees and contractors 320 305 Employee stock purchase plan 300 280 Real estate taxes 152 161 Restructuring 126 237 Deferred revenues 104 65 Other 354 335 Total $7,177 $6,190 Long-term liabilities consisted of the following: December 31,2016 December 31,2015 Long-term obligations under capital leases $157 $107 Deferred rent 156 250 Restructuring 70 0 Deferred revenues 8 31 Total $391 $388 Revenue RecognitionThe Company sells antennas, site solutions, and scanning receiver products, and provides network engineering and staffing services. The Company recognizes revenue when thefollowing criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, price is fixed and determinable, and collectability isreasonably assured.The Company recognizes revenue for sales of its products when title transfers, which is predominantly upon shipment from its factory. For products shipped on consignment, theCompany recognizes revenue upon delivery from the consignment location. The Company allows its major antenna product distributors to return product under specified terms andconditions and accrues for product returns. The Company recognizes revenue for its engineering services under the completed performance method. Most services occur in one weekor less, and revenue is generally recognized when engineering reports are completed and issued to the customer. For specialized staffing, the Company recognizes revenue as servicesare provided to the customer.Research and Development CostsThe Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. To date, the Company has expensed all software development costs related to research and development becausethe costs incurred subsequent to the products reaching technological feasibility were not significant.Advertising CostsAdvertising costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expense was $162, $212, and $175 in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and2014, respectively.41Income TaxesIncome taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differencesbetween 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 andliabilities 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 effecton 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 deferredtax 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. Thedeferred tax assets also include unused tax net operating losses and tax credits that the Company is allowed to carry forward to future years. Accounting rules permit the Company tocarry 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 allowancemust be recorded against a deferred tax asset if this test cannot be met. During 2016, the Company recorded adjustments to the valuation allowance of $12.6 million because theCompany does not believe it will generate sufficient US taxable income to realize a significant portion of its deferred tax assets. See Note 6 for more information on the deferred taxvaluation allowance. 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 thelargest 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 TaxesTaxes 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 costsShipping and handling costs are included on a gross basis in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.GoodwillThe 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 ifcircumstances change that would indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. In performing the annual impairment test, the Company first performs a qualitativeassessment 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 the qualitative assessment isindicative 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 iscompared 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 thecarrying 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. TheCompany calculates the fair value of each reporting unit by using the income approach based on the present value of future discounted cash flows. The discounted cash flow methodrequires 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 areconsistent with plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying reporting units, there is significant judgment in determining the cash flows attributable to thesereporting 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 Company believes the accounting estimate related to thevaluation of goodwill is a critical accounting estimate because it requires us to make assumptions that are highly uncertain about the future cash flows of the reporting units. Changes inthese estimates can have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.The Company performed its annual goodwill test on the RF Solutions products reporting unit at October 31, 2016. The Company tested goodwill of $3.3 million that was recordedfrom the Nexgen acquisition in February 2015. The Company performed both a qualitative analysis of goodwill and the step one quantitative analysis. There was no triggering eventfrom the qualitative analysis, and the fair value of the reporting unit was higher than its carrying value in the quantitative analysis. Based on the Company’s42analysis, there was no impairment of goodwill as of the testing date because the fair valu e of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by a significant margin.The Company performed its annual goodwill test at October 31, 2015 for its goodwill within the RF Solutions segment. The Company tested its goodwill of $3.3 million for productsand $0.2 million for services. At that date the carrying value of the Company’s assets was $102.5 million as compared to a $100.0 million market capitalization and a $9.3 millioncontrol premium determined by the Company as the net present value of its public company costs that would become cost savings synergies to an acquirer. During the fourth quarterthe products reporting unit was operating consistently with the projections made at September 30, 2015. The services reporting unit was operating at a lower level than the projectionsat September 30, 2015. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and concluded it is more likely than not that the fair value of the products reporting unit is more than itscarrying value, including goodwill, and the services reporting unit is less likely than not. In addition the Company performed a Step 1 quantitative goodwill test for both reporting unitsat October 31, 2015 which confirmed the qualitative assessments. The Company performed a Step 2 quantitative goodwill test at October 31, 2015 on the Services reporting unit andconcluded that all $0.2 million of the goodwill was impaired.The Company’s carrying value at December 31, 2015 was $100.5 million as compared to a market capitalization of $80.3 million and a control premium of $9.3 million. The marketcap deficit had existed since mid-November 2015. A stock performance comparison was performed with twelve of the peer companies the Company uses for compensationcomparable data that are still publicly traded at December 31, 2015. The company list can be found in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated April 30, 2015. When comparing theperiod October 31, 2015 to December 31, 2015 eight of the companies experienced stock price declines, two of which were comparable to PCTEL’s decline. Trading volume for all thecompanies including PCTEL during that period was consistent with historical levels. Management concluded that the market was distressed but liquid. The Company considered thedecline in market capitalization and resulting deficit to carrying value to be an indication that an impairment loss may have occurred at December 31, 2015. The Company performedanother Step 1 quantitative goodwill test at December 31, 2015. The higher discount rates used for the reporting units reconciled the total fair value of the Company to its December 31,2015 market capitalization. The test indicated the remaining goodwill was not impaired.Long-lived and Definite-Lived Intangible assetsThe Company reviews definite-lived intangible assets, investments and other long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carryingvalues may not be fully recoverable. This analysis differs from the Company’s goodwill analysis in that definite-lived intangible asset impairment is only deemed to have occurred ifthe 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 cashflows includes long-term forecasts of revenue growth, gross margins, and operating expenses. All of these items require significant judgment and assumptions. An impairment lossmay exist when the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets are less than the carrying amount.During 2016, the Company recorded total impairment expense of $5.8 million related to customer relationships for the Services reporting unit within the RF Solutions segment,consisting of $4.7 million at June 30, 2016 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the revenue and contribution margin of the services reporting unit were below its forecasts. The results and revised forecast were reflectiveof a long-term slowdown in the DAS market which is the primary market addressed by the Company’s services offering. The Company considered the changes to its forecast and theindustry and market trends as a triggering event to assess the intangible assets of the services reporting units for impairment. The Company reviewed the intangible assets forimpairment by performing a test of recoverability. The cash flow forecast prepared by the Company included assumptions for revenues, gross margins, and operating expenses. Thetest of recoverability failed because the undiscounted cash flows were below the carrying value of the services reporting unit. The Company calculated the fair value of the servicesreporting unit with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm.For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the revenues and contribution margin for the services reporting unit declined sequentially. The fourth quarter 2016 gross margin wasnegatively impacted by the lower revenue volume and by lower average margins on individual projects. At December 31, 2016 the backlog was lower than historical trends and therewere no known large projects in the sales funnel. Based on these facts and an updated review of the market and industry trends, the Company lowered its profit forecast for 2017compared to the profit forecast prepared for the 2017 operating plan and the Company lowered its long-term revenue and profit forecast. The Company determined that the revision tothe forecast for services was a triggering event for its review of intangible assets for impairment. The Company reviewed its intangible assets for impairment by performing a test ofrecoverability. The cash flow forecast prepared by the Company included assumptions for revenues, gross margins, and operating expenses. The test of recoverability failed becausethe undiscounted cash flows were below the carrying value of the services reporting unit. The Company calculated the fair value of the Services reporting unit based on the valuationassumptions from the analysis at June 30, 2016. The impairment charge of $1.1 million represented the remaining value of the customer relationships as of December 31, 2016.43As discussed in the goodwill section above, the Company recorded an impairment of all $0.2 million of the goodwill carr ied by the services reporting unit at the annual impairment testdate. Additionally at December 31, 2015, the services reporting unit forecast had deteriorated from that used in the October 31, 2015 goodwill impairment analysis. Managementconcluded that these were triggering events indicating that a potential impairment of long-lived intangible assets in that reporting unit may have occurred. The Company performed along-lived asset impairment test by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows for the services reporting unit to the reporting unit’s asset carrying value. The customer relationshipswere determined to be the primary asset of the asset group. Since this asset was not separable from the other assets in the services reporting unit, the asset group consisted of all of theassets in the reporting group. No impairment was indicated.Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 as part of the goodwill impairment test. The amount of the impairment charge to berecognized would now be the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss to be recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill allocated tothat reporting unit. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoptionis permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the provisions of ASU 2017-04 and itsimpact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 , Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments (a consensus of the emerging issuestake force). This ASU addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debtinstruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a businesscombination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies);distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominanceprinciple. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company does not believe the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financialstatements. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13") regarding ASC Topic 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which modifies themeasurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The amendments will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluatingthis guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements .In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU No. 2016-09 affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. ASU No. 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions,including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows, including recognizing all excess taxbenefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement rather than in additional paid-in capital. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for financial statementsissued for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. Upon adoption, the Company anticipates recognizing deferred tax assetsfor all excess tax benefits that had not been previously recognized. This will be accomplished through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $0.6million.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends existing guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for therights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. This ASU also provides clarificationssurrounding the presentation of the effects of leases in the income statement and statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. TheCompany is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in thisupdate require that deferred tax assets and liabilities be entirely classified as noncurrent within the statement of financial position. Effective December 31, 2015, the Company earlyadopted the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes on a prospective basis. The guidance requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent rather than splitbetween current and noncurrent. Approximately $1.8 million in current deferred tax assets was reclassified to long-term deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015. 44In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . ASU 2015-11 simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiringinventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 applies only to inventories for whic h cost is determined by methods other than last-in first-outand the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within thosefiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-11 and has preliminarily concluded that it will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financialstatements.In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which introduces a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognizerevenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for thosegoods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognitionprocess than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenueand cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes injudgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. The FASB has also issued the followingstandards which clarify ASU 2014-09 and have the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing and ASU 2016-08, Principal versus AgentConsiderations.The Company will commence our assessment of ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2017 and develop a project plan to guide the implementation. This project plan includesanalyzing the standard’s impact on the Company’s contract portfolio, comparing historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard and identifyingpotential differences from applying the requirements of the new standard to its contracts. The Company will draft an updated accounting policy, evaluate new disclosure requirementsand identify and implement appropriate changes to business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. The Company expects toadopt this new standard using the modified retrospective method that will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating thisguidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements.2. Earnings (Loss) per ShareThe 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 (loss)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 (loss)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 ofstock 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.The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share: Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Basic (Loss) Earnings Per Share computation: Numerator: Net (loss) income $(17,681) $(1,568) $4,612 Denominator: Common shares outstanding 16,151 17,737 18,159 (Loss) Earnings per common share - basic Net (loss) income $(1.09) $(0.09) $0.25 Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share computation: Denominator: Common shares outstanding 16,151 17,737 18,159 Restricted shares subject to vesting * * 139 Performance shares subject to vesting * * 80 Common stock option grants * * 11 Total shares 16,151 17,737 18,389 (Loss) Earnings per common share - diluted Net (loss) income $(1.09) $(0.09) $0.25 45* As denoted by “*” in the table above, weighted average common stock option grants and restricted shares of 174,000 and 520,000 were excluded from the calculations of diluted netloss per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, since their effects are anti-dilutive.3. AcquisitionsBusiness combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. In general, the acquisition method requires acquisition-date fair value measurement ofidentifiable 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 toincur 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 business from Nexgen Wireless, Inc.On February 27, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of, and assumed certain specified liabilities of, Nexgen Wireless, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Nexgen”),pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of February 27, 2015 (the “Nexgen APA”) among PCTEL, Inc., Nexgen, Bhumika Thakkar 2012 Irrevocable Trust Number One,Bhumika Thakkar 2012 Irrevocable Trust Number Two, and Jigar Thakkar (collectively, such trusts and Mr. Thakkar are the “Nexgen Shareholders”), and Bhumika Thakkar(collectively with Nexgen and the Nexgen Shareholders, the “Nexgen Parties”).The business acquired from Nexgen was based in Schaumburg, Illinois. Nexgen provided a network analysis tool portfolio, and engineering services. Nexgen’s software productportfolio translates real-time network performance data into engineering actions to optimize operator performance and supports crowd-based, cloud-based data analysis to enhancenetwork performance. The business provides performance engineering, specialized staffing, and trend analysis for carriers, infrastructure vendors, and neutral hosts for 2G, 3G, 4G, andLTE networks.The purchase consideration for the Nexgen business was $21.4 million, consisting of $18.25 million in cash paid at closing, $2.25 million held in escrow, an estimated $0.8 millionexcess working capital true-up to be paid in cash, and a contingency payment that was provisionally calculated with a fair value of $0.1 million. The contingent payment was dependenton the achievement of revenue-based goals pertaining to the acquired business for the period commencing on March 1, 2015 and ending on April 30, 2016. The purchase considerationpaid in cash was provided from the Company’s existing cash. The Company incurred transaction costs of $0.8 million for the acquisition of Nexgen primarily related to investmentbanking, legal, and due diligence consulting services.The assets acquired from Nexgen consisted primarily of customer relationships, intellectual property (including trade names), working capital (accounts receivable, work in process,accounts payable and accrued liabilities), and fixed assets. The Nexgen Parties are bound by non-competition covenants under the Nexgen APA, which generally expire onFebruary 27, 2019. The Company calculated the fair value of the customer relationships, trade names, and non-compete agreement assets acquired by using the present value of futurediscounted cash flows. For the new technology, the Company used the replacement cost method for its valuation. The intangible assets recorded have a weighted average amortizationperiod of 5.0 years.As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2015, on April 7, 2015, Samsung Electronics America, Inc., as successor ininterest to Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (“Samsung”), provided Nexgen and the Company with a final notice of Samsung’s election to terminate, effective April 30,2015, the Contractor Services Agreement, dated May 2, 2012 (the “CSA”), by and between Samsung and Nexgen. On May 5, 2015, the Company and the Nexgen Parties entered intoan Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Nexgen APA Amendment”) with the following principal terms: (a) Nexgen agreed to transfer to the Company previouslyexcluded accounts receivable with an aggregate value of $0.8 million; (b) the aggregate amount potentially payable to the Nexgen Parties as contingent earnout consideration wasreduced from $2.0 million to $1.0 million; (c) the Company waived its right to seek additional indemnification from the Nexgen Parties for matters specified therein; (d) the partiesdirected that $2.25 million in escrowed funds potentially payable to the Nexgen Parties pursuant to the Nexgen APA be released to the Company; (e) Mr. Thakkar relinquished aportion of the equity awards previously granted to him; and (f) the Company released various potential claims against Nexgen and the Nexgen Parties with respect to the termination ofthe CSA and related matters. The measurement period for the revised earnout commenced on January 1, 2016 and ends on December 31, 2016 and is dependent on software revenue-based goals pertaining to the acquired business. The contingent liability was 0 at December 31, 2016.The amendment terms were accounted for consistent with accounting for legal settlements, as there is not a clear and direct link between the settlement and the acquisition price.During June 2015, the Company received the cash from the escrow fund and the previously excluded accounts receivable. These amounts are recorded in Other Income, net in thecondensed consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company assumed no liability for the contingent earnout consideration. 46Approximately 78% of Nexgen’s revenue was related to the U.S. Sprint cellular network, contracted either with Samsung or Sprint directly. During due diligence, the Companymodeled a likely range of future revenu e and cash flow based on the high degree of customer concentration risk. While the terminated CSA represented a material portion of thatrevenue, the resulting total future revenue and cash flow remained within the lower range of the forecast model. The Co mpany utilized the lower end of the forecast range in evaluatingthe fair value of the acquired assets.

The Companyrecorded an impairment charge of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter 2015 because the fair value of the services reporting unit was below its carrying value. See the goodwill section ofNote 1 for more information on the evaluation of goodwill.Intangible AssetsThe Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which range from one to eight years. Amortization expense wasapproximately $2.3 million, $4.0 million, and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

RestructuringThe Company incurred restructuring expense of $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. No restructuring expenses were recordedfor the year ended December 31, 2014.2016 RestructuringDuring the first quarter 2016, the Company reduced headcount in its RF Solutions segment related to services and SeeHawk analytics, and exited from its Colorado office in order toconsolidate facility space. In the third and fourth quarters, the Company recorded additional restructuring expense primarily related to updated assumptions for the Colorado leaseobligation. The total restructuring expense in 2016 consisted of $0.3 million in employee severance and payroll related costs, $0.3 million for lease terminations, and $0.1 millionrelated to fixed asset disposals. The restructuring expense incurred for lease terminations includes the remaining obligations under the lease, net of assumed proceeds for asublease. As of December 31, 2016, the Colorado office has not been subleased. Of the $0.2 million restructuring liability at December 31, 2016, $0.1 million was included in accrued liabilities and $0.1 million was included in long-term liabilities in theconsolidated balance sheets. 2015 RestructuringIn June 2015, the Company committed to a restructuring program for reductions in U.S. headcount and the exit from the mobile towers product line. To lower operating andproduction costs, the Company reduced headcount in engineering related to scanning receivers, in U.S. operations for Connected Solutions, and related to the mobile tower productline. The Company terminated 51 employees between June and December 2015 and recorded severance and other employee benefits of $1.2 million.49The Company acquired the mobile tower product line in the 2012 acquisition of TelWorx. The Company’s mobile towers were primarily sold into the oil and gas exploration market inNorth America. The mobile towers were used to primarily provide a communications l ink to an oil drilling site or lighting for a site under construction. The decline in oil prices causeda decline in related mobile tower sales. The Company made the decision to exit the mobile tower product line due to the anticipated long term effect on revenue from depressed oilprices, and the fact that one of its two tower suppliers filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in June 2015 as a result of the decline in sales. Mobile towers were not a key element of thecompany’s kitting operation or antenna busine ss within Connected Solutions. The Company’s exit from the mobile tower product line does not meet the accounting guidance fordiscontinued operations. The exit from mobile towers did not constitute a strategic shift in the Company’s operations. The Com pany recorded a charge of $0.4 million related towrite-off of intangible assets related to the mobile product line.The restructuring liability of $0.2 million at December 31, 2015 was included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.The following table summarizes the Company’s restructuring accrual activity for 2015 and 2016: Intangible Lease Asset Severance Assets Terminations Disposals Total Balance at January 1, 2015 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 Restructuring charges 1,199 406 0 25 1,630 Payments/Charges (962) (406) 0 (25) (1,393)Balance at December 31, 2015 237 0 0 0 237 Restructuring charges 254 0 338 72 664 Payments/Charges (485) 0 (148) (72) (705)Balance at December 31, 2016 $6 $0 $190 $0 $196 6. Income TaxesThe Company recorded income tax expense of $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, an income tax benefit of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, andincome tax expense of $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014.The 2016 effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34% primarily due to adjustments to the deferred tax valuation allowance. The Company recorded adjustments of$12.6 million to the deferred tax valuation allowance in 2016. The 2015 effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34% primarily due to research and developmentcredits and incremental tax on repatriation of funds from Israel. The 2014 effective tax rate differed from the statutory Federal rate of 34% primarily because of reversals of liabilitiesfor uncertain tax positions related to research credits and foreign withholding taxes. During 2016 and 2015 the Company wrote off $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively ofdeferred tax assets to additional paid in capital related to vested stock options that were forfeited. During 2014, the Company recorded $0.2 million to additional paid in capital relatedto excess tax benefits for stock-based compensation.A reconciliation of the expense (benefit) for income taxes at the federal statutory rate compared to the expense (benefit) at the effective tax rate is as follows: Years Ended December 31 2016 2015 2014 Statutory federal income tax rate 34% 34% 34%State income tax, net of federal benefit 4% 2% 4%Tax effect of permanent differences 0% -2% 1%Tax on repatriation 0% -5% 0%Effective state rate change to deferred tax assets 1% 0% 0%Foreign income taxed at different rates 2% 3% -1%Research and development credits 1% 5% -3%Return to provision adjustments 1% 0% 0%Change in valuation allowance -144% 0% 0%Release of FIN 48 liability 0% 0% -15% -101% 37% 20% 50The domestic and foreign components of the continuing income (loss) before expense (benefit) for income taxes were as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Domestic $(11,475) $(3,705) $4,882 Foreign 2,674 1,236 888 $(8,801) $(2,469) $5,770 The expense (benefit) for income taxes of continuing operations consisted of the following: Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Current: Federal $(5) $30 $(716)State 12 91 60 Foreign 721 262 148 728 383 (508)Deferred: Federal 7,478 (1,214) 1,521 State 666 (113) 164 Foreign 8 43 (19) 8,152 (1,284) 1,666 Total $8,880 $(901) $1,158 Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts usedfor income tax purposes.The net deferred tax accounts consist of the following: December 31, 2016 2015 Deferred Tax Assets: Amortization $9,313 $7,799 Stock compensation 1,902 1,571 Federal, foreign, and state credits 1,307 1,247 Inventory reserves 1,397 1,191 Accrued vacation 461 465 Net operating loss carryforwards 4,029 2,514 Other 298 330 Gross deferred tax assets 18,707 15,117 Valuation allowance (13,300) (659)Net deferred tax asset 5,407 14,458 Deferred Tax liabilities: Depreciation (895) (1,303)Net Deferred Tax Assets $4,512 $13,155 Effective December 31, 2015, the Company early adopted the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes on a prospective basis. The guidance required deferred tax assets andliabilities to be classified as noncurrent rather than split between current and noncurrent. Approximately $1.8 million in current deferred tax assets were reclassified to long-termdeferred tax assets at December 31, 2015. Deferred Tax Valuation AllowanceAt December 31, 2016, the Company had $4.5 million of net deferred tax assets, including domestic net deferred tax assets of $4.4 million and foreign net deferred tax assets of $0.1million. At December 31, 2015, the Company had $13.2 million of net deferred tax assets, including domestic net deferred tax assets of $13.1 million and foreign net deferred taxassets of $0.1 million. The most significant balance within the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2016 and 2015 relates to intangible assets acquired under purchase accountingwhich are amortized for tax purposes over 15 years, but for shorter periods under generally accepted accounting51principles. The Company had a valuation allowance of $13.3 million and $0.7 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2016 isprimarily b ecause the Company does not believe it will generate sufficient US taxable income to realize a significant portion of its deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance atDecember 31, 2015 related to credits and state operating losses that the Company does not expect to realize because they correspond to tax jurisdictions where the Company no longerhas 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 significantjudgment. The Company considers multiple factors in its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company’s domestic deferred tax assets have a ratable reversal patternover 15 years. The carry forward rules allow for up to a 20 year carryforward of net operating losses (“NOL”) to future income that is available to realize the deferred tax assets. Thecombination of the deferred tax asset reversal pattern and carry forward period yields a 27.0 year average period over which future income can be utilized to realize the deferred taxassets. In 2016, the Company recorded adjustments of $12.6 million to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, there were two significant changes in the deferred tax asset recoverability evidence pattern. The cumulative three year US book income turnedto a loss. In addition, the Company experienced a significant shift in its Connected Solutions segment revenue to products that are designed, manufactured and sold through theCompany’s China subsidiary directly into China. This will cause a significant shift going forward in the Company’s tax profitability from the United States to China. The Companybelieves this is the beginning of a long-term trend. In the third quarter, the Company completed a recapitalization of its China subsidiary to accommodate the initial working capitalgrowth required to support the shift and continues to anticipate permanently reinvesting future earnings and profits from its China subsidiary in China to support its future workingcapital needs there. The Company re-forecasted its long term domestic profitability in light of the shift in business to China that is occurring. The analysis that the Company preparedto determine the valuation allowance required significant judgment and assumptions regarding future market conditions as well as forecasts for profits, taxable income, and taxableincome by jurisdiction. The Company used a series of projections bound on the low side by what it would take for none of its deferred tax assets to be realized and on the high side bywhat it would take for all of the deferred tax assets to be realized. Based on assigned probabilities to each scenario, the Company recorded an adjustment to the valuation allowance of$7.6 million. In the fourth quarter 2016, the Company updated its projections for its analysis to determine the valuation allowance. The Company reduced its domestic profit forecast because itlowered its long-term forecast for its services business and increased the contribution of the profits from its China subsidiary. The Company also updated its estimated taxdeductions. The Company used the same approach with a series of projections bound on the low side by what it would take for none of its deferred tax assets to be realized and on thehigh side by what it would take for all of the deferred tax assets to be realized. Based on assigned probabilities to each scenario, the Company recorded an adjustment to the valuationallowance of $5.0 million.Due to the sensitivity of the analysis, changes to the assumptions in subsequent periods could have a material effect on the valuation allowance.Accounting for Uncertainty for Income TaxesA reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: December 31, 2016 2015 Beginning of period $850 $807 Addition related to tax positions in current year 20 43 End of period $870 $850 Included in the balance of total unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2016 are potential benefits of $0.9 million that, if recognized, would affect the effective rate on incomebefore taxes. During 2014, the Company recognized tax benefits of $0.8 million related to the reversal of liabilities related to tax positions for research credits and foreign withholdingtaxes. 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 twelvemonths.The Company recognizes all interest and penalties, including those relating to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There was no income tax expense related to interestand penalties for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014.52AuditsThe 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 2012and subsequent periods. The Company’s state tax returns remain subject to examination for 2012 and subsequent periods. The Company’s foreign tax returns remain subject toexamination for 2010 and subsequent periods.Summary of CarryforwardsAt December 31, 2016, the Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward of $11.8 million that expires between 2033 and 2037, state net operating loss carryforwards of $11.7million that expire between 2025 and 2037. Of the $11.8 million net operating loss, $1.7 million is related to stock-based compensation tax deductions in excess of book compensationexpense (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. The Company’s statenet operating losses consist of tax deductible expenses in addition to excess tax benefits for stock-based compensation. Additionally, the Company has $1.5 million of state researchcredits with no expiration.Investment in Foreign OperationsIn 2015 the Company provided U.S. income taxes of $0.1 million related to the expected repatriation of earnings from its subsidiary in Israel. The Company expects to liquidate thisentity and repatriate the earnings in 2017. As of December 31, 2016 there are no business activities in this subsidiary. The Company has not provided deferred U.S. income taxes andforeign withholding taxes on approximately $4.8 million of undistributed cumulative earnings of other foreign subsidiaries because the Company considers such earnings to bepermanently 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 Companydoes not believe that the net tax effect of repatriation of foreign earnings is significant.7.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developedfor 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 highlysubjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and expected option life. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantlydifferent 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 necessarilyprovide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the employee stock options.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. Treasuryyields 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’sstock 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 ofemployee exercise performance. The Company records expense based on the grading vesting method.As of December 31, 2016, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company’s stock options was approximately $48, net of estimated forfeituresto be recognized through 2020 over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.Stock BonusesFor the Company’s 2016 short-term incentive plan (“STIP”), executives will be paid in the Company’s stock. The value of the shares was based on percentages achieved related to the2016 metrics and the number of shares was based on the value as of March 3, 2017 the date the Compensation Committee approved the payments under the STIP. . The Companyrecorded $0.6 million of compensation expense based on the stock bonuses earned by the executive employees. The shares will be awarded in March 2017. Performance-based Equity Awards Performance unitsThe Company issued performance share units to executives in 2014 and 2015. The fair value of these performance share units was calculated based on the stock price on the date ofgrant.In March 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2015 LTIP”). Under the 2015 LTIP, shares can be earned by certain executiveemployees based upon achievement of revenue goals over a four-year period with a penalty if certain earnings levels are not maintained. The four-year period is divided into twointerim periods (each an “Interim Period”), the first of which will end on December 31, 2016, and the second of which will end on December 31, 2018. At the award date, the numberof shares that could be earned collectively by all participants at threshold and target were 212,000 and 424,000, respectively. Stock compensation expense is amortized over theperformance period for these awards based on estimated achievement of the goals. No expense was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2016 for the 2015 LTIPbecause the Company did not meet the revenue threshold for the year ended December 31, 2016. The units cancelled during 2016 consist of 158,500 awards that did not vest related tothe Interim Period ended December 31, 2016 and 100,000 awards for terminated employees.In March 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2014 LTIP”). Under the 2014 LTIP, shares can be earned by certain executiveemployees based upon achievement of revenue goals over a four-year period with a penalty if certain profit levels are not maintained. The four-year period is divided into two interimperiods (each an “Interim Period”), the first of which will end on December 31, 2015, and the second of which will end on December 31, 2017. The number of shares that could beearned collectively by all participants at threshold and target were 190,000 and 380,000, respectively. Stock compensation expense is amortized over the performance period for theseawards based on estimated achievement of the goals. No expense was recorded for the 2014 LTIP because the Company did not meet the revenue threshold for the year ended 2015and does not expect to meet the revenue threshold for the year ended 2017. The units cancelled during 2015 consist of 162,000 awards that did not vest related to the Interim Periodended December 31, 2015 and 80,798 awards for terminated employees.59The following summarizes the performance unit activity during the years ended December 31 st : 2016 2015 2014 Unvested Performance Units Awards WeightedAverageFair Value Awards WeightedAverageFair Value Awards WeightedAverageFair Value Beginning of Year 555,000 $7.78 380,000 $8.47 0 $0.00 Units awarded 0 0.00 431,000 7.49 380,000 8.47 Units vested 0 0.00 (13,202) 7.98 0 0.00 Units cancelled (258,500) 7.58 (242,798) 8.34 0 0.00 End of Year 296,500 $7.95 555,000 $7.78 380,000 $8.47 The number of awards presented in the table above is based on achievement at target.

The number of options granted was based on the target for the Company’s 2013 revenue goal. In March 2014, the Company awarded207,236 stock options because the Company exceeded the target revenue goal for 2013. These options will vest between two and four years beginning in April 2014.

The Board ofDirectors of the Company (the “ Board ”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to Executive and can cause Executive to consideralternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that theCompany will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change ofControl of the Company.B. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide Executive with an incentive tocontinue his/her employment and to motivate Executive to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of itsstockholders.C. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with certain benefits upon a Change of Control and severancebenefits upon Executive's termination of employment following a Change of Control which provide Executive with enhanced financi al security andincentive and encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control.D. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 4.The parties hereto agree as follows:1. Term of Agreement .
