NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
(in thousands except per share data and as otherwise noted)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Nature of Operations
PCTEL is a global leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry. The Company develops and distributes innovative antenna and engineered site solutions and designs and develops software-based radios (scanning receivers) and provides related RF engineering services for wireless network optimization.
PCTEL was incorporated in California in 1994 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1998. The principal executive offices are located at 471 Brighton Drive, Bloomingdale, Illinois 60108. The telephone number at that address is (630) 372-6800 and the Companys website is www.pctel.com. The information within, or that can be accessed through the Companys website, is not part of this report.
Segment Reporting
PCTEL operates in two segments for reporting purposes. The Companys Connected Solutions segment includes its antenna and engineered site solutions. The Companys RF Solutions segment includes its scanning receivers and related RF engineering services. Each of the segments has its own segment manager as well as its own engineering, sales and marketing, and operational general and administrative functions. All of the Companys accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralized basis through the corporate function. The Company manages its balance sheet and cash flows centrally at the corporate level, with the exception of trade accounts receivable and inventory which is managed at the segment level. Each of the segment managers reports to and maintains regular contact with the chief operating decision maker to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment. The Companys chief operating decision maker uses the profit and loss results through operating profit and identified assets for the Connected Solutions and RF Solutions segments to make operating decisions.
Connected Solutions Segment
PCTEL is a leading supplier of antennas for private network, public safety and government applications, and site solutions for both private and public network, data, and communications applications. PCTELs MAXRAD®, Bluewave and Wi-Sys antenna solutions include high-value YAGI, land mobile radio (LMR), Wi-Fi, GPS, In Tunnel, Subway, and Broadband antennas (parabolic and flat panel). PCTELs Connected Solutions products include specialized towers, enclosures, fiber optic panels, and fiber jumper cables that are engineered into site solutions. The vertical markets into which the antenna and site solutions are sold include supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), health care, energy, smart grid, precision agriculture, indoor wireless, telemetry, offloading, and wireless backhaul. Growth for antenna and engineered site solutions is primarily driven by the increased use of wireless communications in these vertical markets. PCTELs antenna and site solution products are primarily sold through distributors, value added reseller, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) providers.
The Company established its current antenna and site solutions product portfolio with a series of acquisitions. In 2004, the Company acquired MAXRAD, Inc. (MAXRAD), as well as certain product lines from Andrew Corporation (Andrew), which established its core product offerings in Wi-Fi, LMR and GPS. Over the next several years the Company added additional capabilities within those product lines and additional served markets with the acquisition of certain assets from Bluewave Antenna Systems, Ltd (Bluewave) in 2008, and the acquisitions of Wi-Sys Communications, Inc (Wi-Sys) in 2009, Sparco Technologies, Inc. (Sparco) in 2010, and certain assets of TelWorx Communications LLC, TelWorx U.K. Limited, TowerWorx LLC, and TowerWorx International, Inc. (collectively TelWorx), in July 2012.

There are many competitors for antenna products, as the market is highly fragmented. Competitors include Laird (Cushcraft, Centurion, and Antennex brands), Mobile Mark, Radiall/Larsen, Comtelco, Wilson, Commscope (Andrew products), Kathrein, among others. PCTEL seeks out product applications that command a premium for product performance and customer service, and avoid commodity markets.
PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the antenna engineered site solutions market. These include radio frequency engineering, mobile antenna design and manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.
RF Solutions Segment
PCTEL is a leading supplier of high-speed, multi-standard, demodulating receivers and test and measurement solutions to the wireless industry worldwide. The Companys SeeGull ® scanning receivers, receiver-based products and CLARIFY ® interference management solutions are used to measure, monitor and optimize cellular networks. The Companys network engineering services (NES) provide wireless network testing, optimization, design, integration, and consulting services, with an emphasis on in-building distributed antenna systems (DAS) Revenue growth for the products is driven by the deployment of products based on new wireless technology and the need for wireless networks to be tuned and reconfigured on a regular basis. PCTEL develops and supports scanning receivers for LTE, EVDO, CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, and WiMAX networks. The Companys scanning receiver products are sold primarily through test and measurement value added resellers and to a lesser extent directly to network operators. Competitors for these products are OEMs such as JDS Uniphase, Rohde and Schwarz, Anritsu, Digital Receiver Technology, and Berkley Varitronics.
The Company established its scanning receiver product portfolio in 2003 with the acquisition of certain assets of Dynamic Telecommunications, Inc. (DTI). In 2009, the Company acquired the scanning receiver business from Ascom Network Testing, Inc. (Ascom) as well as the exclusive distribution rights and patented technology for Wider Network LLC (Wider) network interference products. The Company established its network engineering services in 2011 with the acquisition of certain assets from Envision Wireless Inc. (Envision), an engineering services business based in Melbourne, Florida. The Company maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the scanning receiver and related engineering services market. These include radio frequency engineering, DSP engineering, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013.
On April 30, 2013, the Company divested all material assets associated with its PCTEL Secure, LLC subsidiarys ProsettaCore technology to Redwall Technologies, LLC (Redwall), a development organization that specializes in mobile security, military and defense projects and systems, and critical national infrastructure. Under the terms of the agreement, Redwall acquired the server and device software (the Software), the underlying intellectual property, and complete development responsibility for the security products. At the closing of the divestiture, the Company received no upfront cash payment, but has the right to receive a royalty of 7% of the net sale price of each future sale or license of the Software and each provision of services related to the Software, if any. Under the agreement, royalties will not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate. In accordance with accounting for discontinued operations, the consolidated financial statements separately reflect the results of PCTEL Secure as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth within the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the 2013 Form 10-K). There were no changes in the Companys significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the 2013 Form 10-K. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2013 Form 10-K. The results for the operations for the period ended June 30, 2014 may not be indicative of the results for the period ending December 31, 2014.
9
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to its foreign operations and because products are sold internationally. The functional currency for the Companys foreign operations is predominantly the applicable local currency. Accounts of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the applicable balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average monthly rates prevailing during the period for revenue and expense accounts. Adjustments resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders equity. Gains and losses resulting from other transactions originally in foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Net foreign exchange losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $8 and $5 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net foreign exchange losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $47 and $16 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Recent Accounting Guidance
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09 that introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue 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 those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, which includes amendments that change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and require additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations - that is, a major effect on the organizations operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. Additionally, the ASU requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. This update is effective in the first quarter of 2015. The Company does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. To measure fair value, the Company refers to a hierarchy that requires it to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of input that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.
Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Cash equivalents are measured at fair value and investments are recognized at amortized cost in the Companys financial statements. Accounts receivable and other investments are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets. Accounts payable is a financial liability with a carrying value that approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

8. Acquisition of TelWorx Communications LLC
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary PCTelWorx, Inc. (PCTelWorx), completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain specified liabilities of TelWorx Communications LLC, TelWorx U.K. Limited, TowerWorx LLC and TowerWorx International, Inc. (collectively TelWorx), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 9, 2012 among the Company, PCTelWorx, TelWorx and Tim and Brenda Scronce, the principal owners of TelWorx. PCTelWorx was merged with PCTEL, Inc. effective June 30, 2014. The fair value purchase price for TelWorx was $16.1 million, consisting of $16.0 million in cash paid at closing, $1.1 million of contingent consideration related to an indemnity holdback escrow and potential earn-out at fair value, net of $1.0 million cash recovered from Tim and Brenda Scronce in March 2013 pursuant to the working capital adjustment provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the legal settlement described below.
Following the closing of the acquisition, the Companys management became aware of accounting irregularities with respect to the TelWorx financial statements, in part through an internal review conducted in connection with the calculation of post-closing purchase price adjustments and in part due to an anonymous tip received after the internal review began. With the oversight of the Audit Committee, management expanded its review into an internal investigation regarding these financial irregularities and outside counsel was retained to assist in the investigation. The Companys outside counsel then retained a Big Four accounting firm to perform an independent forensic accounting investigation under counsels direction. The accounting irregularities in the TelWorx financial statements identified as a result of this investigation are believed to have been directed and/or permitted by management of TelWorx, principally Tim Scronce and those acting at his direction.
The Company determined the amount of the corrections and the period in which they occurred through the forensic audit performed, which included tracing sales transactions to customer commitments and proof of delivery documents as well as reviewing the cost of sales records and aging of inventory at the acquisition date. The Company was authorized by the Board of Directors to seek restitution from the Scronces and other responsible parties. On March 27, 2013, the Company and the Scronces entered into a legal settlement over claims by the Company relating to the value of the acquisition and the accounting issues summarized above. The settlement had an aggregate fair value of $5.4 million, consisting of $4.3 million cash received, $0.6 million for the contingent consideration forfeited, and $0.5 million for the holdback escrow balance released. The Company is still pursuing additional restitution from other responsible parties. See Footnote 11 TelWorx Legal Settlement for full details.

As of June 30, 2014, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Companys restricted stock units was approximately $25, to be recognized through 2018 over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.
Stock Options
The Company grants stock options to purchase common stock for incentive purposes. The stock options contain exercise prices no less than the fair value of the Companys stock on the grant date and typically vest in installments over a period of four years. Stock options may be exercised at any time prior to their expiration date or within ninety days of termination of employment, or such shorter time as may be provided in the related stock option agreement. Prior to 2010, the Company primarily granted stock options with a ten year life. Beginning with options granted in July 2010, the Company grants stock options with a seven year life.
The fair value of each unvested option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and expected option life. Because the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the employee stock options.
The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company issued 16,800 stock options with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.26.

The Company calculated the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions at June 30:
June 30, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Dividend yield |
1.8 | % | 1.7 | % | ||||
Risk-free interest rate |
0.6 | % | 0.2 | % | ||||
Expected volatility |
38 | % | 52 | % | ||||
Expected life (in years) |
5.2 | 5.6 |
The dividend yield rate was calculated by dividing the Companys annual dividend by the closing price on the grant date. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yields with remaining term that approximates the expected life of the options granted. The Company calculates the volatility based on a five-year historical period of the Companys stock price. The Company incorporates a forfeiture rate based on historical data in the expense calculation. The expected life used for options granted is based on historical data of employee exercise performance. The Company records expense based on the grading vesting method.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $0.3 million from the exercise of 39,947 options. The intrinsic value of these options exercised was $54.
In March 2014, in accordance with the plan documents, the Company awarded an additional 24,736 stock option rights to executive employees under the 2013 LTIP. These awards were earned based on 2013 performance criteria. In March 2014, the total stock option rights earned under the 2013 LTIP were converted to stock options that vest between two and four years from the April 2013 grant date.
As of June 30, 2014, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Companys stock options was approximately $1.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized through 2018 over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.
The range of exercise prices for options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2014 was $5.50 to $11.00. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding under all stock plans at June 30, 2014:

Performance-based Equity Awards
In March 2014, the Companys Board of Directors approved the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2014 LTIP) and the LTIP award agreements were completed in April 2014. Under the LTIP, shares are earned by certain executive employees based upon achievement of four-year revenue goals with a penalty if certain profit levels are not maintained. The four-year period is divided into two interim periods (each an Interim Period), the first of which will end at December 31, 2015 and the second of which will end at December 31, 2017. The number of shares that can be earned at threshold and target are 190,000 and 380,000, respectively. Stock compensation expense is amortized over the performance period for these awards based on estimated achievement of the goals. The Company amortized $0.3 million for the performance awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase common stock at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last day of each offering period. Each offering period is approximately six months. The Company received proceeds of $0.3 million from the issuance of 49,063 shares under the ESPP in February 2014 and received proceeds of $0.3 million from the issuance of 61,230 shares under the ESPP in February 2013.
Based on the 15% discount and the fair value of the option feature of this plan, this plan is considered compensatory. Compensation expense is calculated using the fair value of the employees purchase rights under the Black-Scholes model.
The Company calculated the fair value of each employee stock purchase grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:
June 30, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Dividend yield |
1.8 | % | 1.9 | % | ||||

0.3 | % | 0.2 | % | ||||
Expected volatility |
39 | % | 52 | % | ||||
Expected life (in years) |
0.5 | 0.5 |
The dividend yield rate was calculated by dividing the Companys annual dividend by the closing price on the grant date. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term that approximates the expected life of the options granted. The dividend yield rate is calculated by dividing the Companys annual dividend by the closing price on the grant date. The Company calculates the volatility based on a five-year historical period of the Companys stock price. The expected life used is based on the offering period.
In June 2014, the Companys shareholders approved an amended and restated ESPP. Under the restated ESPP, the number of shares authorized for issuance was increased by 750,000. In addition, the expiration date of the ESPP was modified from March 2017 to the date that all shares authorized have been granted.
Employee Withholding Taxes on Stock Awards
For ease in administering the issuance of stock awards, the Company holds back shares of vested restricted stock awards and short-term incentive plan stock awards for the value of the statutory withholding taxes. For each individual receiving a share award, the Company redeems the shares it computes as the value for the withholding tax and remits this amount to the appropriate tax authority. The Company paid $1.0 million and $0.9 million for withholding taxes related to stock awards during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Stock Repurchases
All share repurchase programs are authorized by the Companys Board of Directors and are announced publicly. On March 18, 2013, the Companys Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $5.0 million. The Company repurchased 215,650 shares at an average price of $7.66 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company repurchased 59,510 shares at an average price of $7.31 during the year ended December 31, 2013. On May 6, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company extended through September 2014 the stock buyback program that had been approved in March 2013. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $2.9 million in share value that could still be repurchased under this program.

10. Benefit Plans
Employee Benefit Plans
The Companys 401(k) plan covers all of the U.S. employees beginning the first of the month following the month they begin their employment. Under this plan, employees may elect to contribute up to 15% of their current compensation to the 401(k) plan, up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan. The Company made employer contributions of $155 and $148 to the 401(k) plan for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company made employer contributions of $350 and $293 to the 401(k) plan for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company also contributes to various retirement plans for foreign employees. The Company made contributions to these plans of $79 and $63 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company made contributions to these plans of $161 and $123 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
Through December 2013, the Company provided an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (EDCP) for executive officers, senior managers and directors. Under the EDCP, the executives could select to defer up to 50% of salary and up to 100% of cash bonuses. In addition, the Company provided a 4% matching cash contribution which vests depending upon the number of completed years of participation in the EDCP. The Company funded the obligation related to the EDCP with corporate-owned life insurance policies. The executive had a choice of investment alternatives from a menu of mutual funds offered by the insurance company. In November 2012, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the termination of the EDCP and on December 27, 2013, the plan was terminated. The funds at the life insurance company were remitted to the Company and subsequently invested by the Company to fund the obligation. The participants will receive the value of his or her account in January 2015. Upon separation of employment earlier than January 2015, the executive will receive the value of his or her account in accordance with the provisions of the plan. Because the funds from the insurance company were received in January 2014, $1.9 million was included in prepaid assets and other receivables on the balance sheet at December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, the value of the Companys investment account to fund the obligation was $2.0 million, included in short-term investments in the consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the deferred compensation obligation was $2.0 million and $1.9 million, included in accrued liabilities and long-term liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.

Restructuring
During 2013, the Company integrated the TelWorx business with its Bloomingdale, IL operations. The Company moved kitting operations and order fulfillment to its Bloomingdale facility from the Lexington, North Carolina facility. As part of the integration, the Company separated eighteen PCTelWorx employees between March and September 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $0.2 million as restructuring expense for employee severance costs and asset disposals and recorded $0.3 million in cost of sales for the disposal of TelWorx inventory that was not compatible with the Companys Bloomingdale facility or Bloomingdale operations.
TelWorx Settlement
On March 27, 2013, the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary PCTelWorx, Inc. (PCTelWorx), and the TelWorx Parties (as defined below) entered into an Amendment (the Amendment) to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 9, 2012 (the Original Agreement), among the Company, PCTelWorx, Ciao Enterprises, LLC f/k/a TelWorx Communications, LLC and certain of its affiliated entities (collectively, the TelWorx Entities) and Tim and Brenda Scronce (Sellers and collectively with the TelWorx Entities, the TelWorx Parties), as part of a settlement arrangement relative to PCTelWorx s acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain specified liabilities of the TelWorx Entities on July 9, 2012 (the Acquisition).
As disclosed in the Companys Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on March 13, 2013, after completion of the Acquisition, the Company became aware of certain accounting irregularities with respect to the TelWorx Entities and the Companys Board of Directors directed management to conduct an internal investigation. Based on the results of the Companys investigation, the Companys Board of Directors directed management to seek restitution from the TelWorx Parties, and after protracted negotiations and concurrent litigation, the parties entered into the Amendment and related settlement agreements to resolve their dispute.
22
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Amendment:
| the TelWorx Parties paid the Company a cash payment of $4.3 million, which included $1.0 million pursuant to the working capital adjustment provisions of the Original Agreement; |
| the TelWorx Parties forfeited all $1.5 million of the potential contingent consideration earnable under the Original Agreement, which had a fair value of $0.6 million, and which, if earned, would have been payable in the form of common stock of the Company; |
| the TelWorx Parties forfeited the $0.5 million holdback escrow under the Original Agreement; |
| the parties agreed to the elimination of all indemnification obligations provided for under the Original Agreement; |
| the Company, PCTelWorx and the Sellers each agreed to execute mutual releases of all claims arising in connection with the dispute; and |
| PCTelWorx acquired an option to terminate the facility lease in Lexington, North Carolina with Scronce Real Estate, LLC (which is controlled by Sellers) upon 180 days written notice |
The settlement had an aggregate fair value of $5.4 million, consisting of $4.3 million cash received, $0.6 million for the contingent consideration forfeited, and $0.5 million for the holdback escrow balance released. Approximately $1.0 million of the cash received was pursuant to the working capital adjustment provisions of the Original Agreement. The remaining $4.3 million settlement amount, consisting of $3.2 million cash and the release of the $0.6 million contingent consideration fair value and the $0.5 million release of the holdback escrow, was recorded as income in the quarter ended March 31, 2013, consistent with accounting for legal settlements.
The Company is also engaged in efforts to seek further restitution from the independent accountants that provided the 2010 and 2011 audited financial statements for TelWorx and the investment banking firm used by the TelWorx Parties. The Company cannot predict the total amount of restitution it will eventually obtain. In settling with the TelWorx Parties, management considered the risks and expenses associated with protracted litigation as well as the consumption of Company resources that would otherwise be applied to operating activities.
As part of the Acquisition, PCTelWorx executed a five-year lease with Scronce Real Estate, LLC for the continued use of an operating facility and offices in Lexington, North Carolina, which provided for annual rental payments of approximately $0.2 million.
In May 2013, the Company gave notice of its election to exercise its option to terminate the Lexington facility lease, with termination effective October 31, 2013.
12. Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 differed from the statutory rate of 34% primarily because of state income taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense for continuing operations of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 differed from the statutory rate of 34% due to state income taxes offsetting a benefit for research credits.
The Companys valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was $0.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. The Company considers multiple factors in its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance. The Companys long-term forecasts continue to support the realization of its deferred tax assets. The Companys domestic deferred tax assets have a ratable reversal pattern over 15 years. The carry forward rules allow for up to a 20 year carry forward of net operating losses (NOL) to future income that is available to realize the deferred tax assets. The combination of the deferred tax asset reversal pattern and carry forward period yields a 26.0 year average period over which future income can be utilized to realize the deferred tax assets.
The Companys gross unrecognized tax benefit was $1.5 million both at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company does not expect any of the potential benefits will be settled within the next twelve months. The Company believes that within the next twelve months uncertain tax positions may be resolved and statutes of limitations will expire, which could result in a decrease in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.8 million.
23
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return, income tax returns with various states, and foreign income tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions. The Companys federal and state income tax years, with limited exceptions, are closed through 2007.
13. Segment, Customer and Geographic Information
PCTEL operates in two segments for reporting purposes. The Companys Connected Solutions segment includes its antenna and engineered site solutions. Its RF Solutions segment includes its scanning receivers and RF engineering services. Each of the segments has its own segment manager as well as its own engineering, sales and marketing, and operational general and administrative functions. All of the Companys accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralized basis through the corporate function. The Company manages its balance sheet and cash flows centrally at the corporate level, with the exception of trade accounts receivable and inventory which is managed at the segment level. Each of the segment managers reports to and maintains regular contact with the chief operating decision maker to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment. The Companys chief operating decision maker uses the profit and loss results through operating profit and identified assets for Connected Solutions and RF Solutions segments to make operating decisions.
24
The following tables are the segment operating profits and cash flow information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, and the segment balance sheet information as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Our revenues were lower in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013 because of lower revenues within our Connected Solutions segment. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, revenues declined $0.6 million, or 2.1%, to $26.2 million compared to the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our revenues declined $2.0 million, or 3.8% compared to the same period in 2013. Our recorded operating income improved by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013 due to the gross margin impact of higher revenues from RF Solutions. Our operating income improved $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013 due to lower legal and professional fees associated with the TelWorx investigation.
Introduction
PCTEL is a global leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry. PCTEL develops and distributes innovative antenna and engineered site solutions and designs and develops software-based radios (scanning receivers) and provides related RF engineering services for wireless network optimization.
Revenue growth for antenna products and engineered site solutions is driven by emerging wireless applications in the following markets: public safety, military, and government applications; supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), health care, energy, smart grid and agricultural applications; indoor wireless, wireless backhaul, and cellular applications. Revenue growth for scanning receiver products, interference management products, and optimization services is driven by the deployment of new wireless technology and the need for wireless networks to be tuned and reconfigured on a regular basis.
We have an intellectual property portfolio related to antennas, the mounting of antennas, and scanning receivers. These patents are being held for defensive purposes and are not part of an active licensing program.
We operate in two segments for reporting purposes. Our Connected Solutions segment includes our antenna and engineered site solutions. Our RF Solutions segment includes our scanning receivers and RF engineering services. Each of our segments has its own segment manager as well as its own engineering, sales and marketing, and operational general and administrative functions. All of our accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralized basis through the corporate function.
On April 30, 2013, we divested all material assets associated with PCTEL Secures ProsettaCore technology to Redwall Technologies, LLC (Redwall), a development organization that specializes in mobile security, military and defense projects and systems, and critical national infrastructure. Under the terms of the agreement, Redwall acquired the server and device software (the Software), the underlying IP, and complete development responsibility for the security products. At the closing of the divestiture, we received no upfront cash payment, but have the right to receive a royalty of 7% of the net sale price of each future sale or license of the Software and each provision of services related to the Software, if any. Under the agreement, royalties will not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate. In accordance with accounting for discontinued operations, the consolidated financial statements separately reflect the results of PCTEL Secure as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Revenues decreased 2.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and decreased 3.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, Connected Solutions revenues decreased 7.7% primarily due to lower revenues for both core antenna and site solution products. The decrease in site solution products is due to the elimination of unprofitable business. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Connected Solutions revenues decreased 12.6% primarily with lower core antenna revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues for RF Solutions increased 12.8% and 21.8% compared to the same periods in 2013 due to higher revenues for both services and scanning receiver products. The increase in RF Solutions revenue is attributed to continued carrier spending increasing from 2013 levels and the rapid growth of in-building wireless network expansion.

The gross profit percentage of 41.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 2.0% higher than the comparable period in fiscal 2013 and the gross profit percentage of 41.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 2.1% higher than the comparable period in fiscal 2013. The higher gross margin percentage was due to increased contribution of higher gross margin RF Solutions revenues and due to increased gross margins for Connected Solutions revenues. The gross profit percentage for Connected Solutions increased 2.8% and 1.8% during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, versus the comparable periods in the prior year. While the segment experienced margin pressure from fixed costs spread over lower revenue, it was more than offset by improvements made through our elimination of unprofitable site solutions products and customers, consolidating the site solutions factory into our Bloomingdale facility, and
29
other supply chain improvements. The gross profit percentage for RF Solutions declined 4.3% and 4.4% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, versus the comparable periods in the prior year. The decrease is attributed to the increased contribution of our network engineering services revenue with its lower gross profit margin relative to scanners. Revenue in scanners and network engineering services were both higher than last year.

Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The increases are primarily due to spending for the development of new scanning receiver products.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses include costs associated with the sales and marketing employees, sales agents, product line management, and trade show expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of sales headcount additions salespeople.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses include costs associated with the general management, finance, human resources, information technology, legal, insurance, public company costs, and other operating expenses to the extent not otherwise allocated to other functions.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million compared to the same period in 2013 due to lower IT expenses associated with our ERP system and because of the integration of TelWorx functions with our Bloomingdale operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.8 million compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 primarily due to lower legal and professional fees for the TelWorx settlement and investigation, and also due to lower IT expenses associated with our ERP system, lower expenses for employee bonuses, and because of integration of TelWorx functions with our Bloomingdale operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, we incurred $0.6 million and $1.8 million of professional and legal fees associated with the TelWorx settlement and the TelWorx investigation.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization decreased $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 because certain intangible assets related to acquisitions for Connected Solutions became fully amortized during 2013.
Restructuring Charges
During 2013, we integrated the TelWorx business with our Connected Solutions segment. The kitting and order fulfillment operations in North Carolina were consolidated into our Bloomingdale, IL facility. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded restructuring expense for employee severance benefits.

Effective tax rate |

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 differed from the statutory rate of 34% by approximately 5.0% primarily because of state income taxes, and the effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 differed from the statutory rate by 1.9% due to state income taxes offsetting a benefit for research credits.
We maintain valuation allowances due to uncertainties regarding realizability. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had a valuation allowance of $0.6 million on our deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance primarily relates to deferred tax assets in tax jurisdictions in which we no longer have significant operations. On a regular basis, management evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Our domestic deferred tax assets have a ratable reversal pattern over 15 years. The carry forward rules allow for up to a 20 year carry forward of net operating losses (NOL) to future income that is available to realize the deferred tax assets. The combination of the deferred tax asset reversal pattern and carry forward period yields a 26.0 year average period over which future income can be utilized to realize the deferred tax assets.
We regularly evaluate our estimates and judgments related to uncertain tax positions and when necessary, establish contingency reserves to account for our uncertain tax positions. As we obtain more information via the settlement of tax audits and through other pertinent information, these projections and estimates are reassessed and may be adjusted accordingly. These adjustments may result in significant income tax provisions or provision reversals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview
At June 30, 2014, our cash and investments were approximately $53.9 million and we had working capital of $81.5 million. Our cash and investments were approximately $4.0 million lower at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 because we used $1.6 million of cash for stock repurchases, $1.5 million of cash for payment of dividends, and $1.2 million for capital expenditures.
Within operating activities, we are historically a net generator of operating funds from our income statement activities and a net user of operating funds for balance sheet expansion. Within investing activities, capital spending historically ranges between 3% and 5% of our revenues and the primary use of capital is for manufacturing and development engineering requirements. Our capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were approximately 2.5% of revenues. We historically have significant transfers between investments and cash as we rotate our large cash balances and short-term investment balances between money market funds, which are accounted for as cash equivalents, and other investment vehicles. We have a history of supplementing our organic revenue growth with acquisitions of product lines or companies, resulting in significant uses of our cash and short-term investment balance from time to time. We expect the historical trend for capital spending and the variability caused by moving money between cash and investments and periodic merger and acquisition activity to continue in the future.
Within financing activities, we have historically generated funds from the exercise of stock options and proceeds from the issuance of common stock through the ESPP and have historically used funds to repurchase shares of our common stock through our share repurchase programs. We are now paying quarterly dividends and have also reinstated a stock buyback program to be used later in 2013. Whether this activity results in our being a net user of funds versus a net generator of funds is largely dependent on our stock price during any given year.
Management believes that the Companys current financial position which includes $53.9 million in cash and investments, and no debt, combined with its historic ability to generate free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital spending) provide adequate liquidity and working capital to support its operations.

Operating Activities:
Operating activities used $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as we generated $3.8 million of cash from our income statement activities but used $3.9 million of cash with our balance sheet activities.

Within the balance sheet, we used $1.7 million to pay annual 2013 accruals, including short-term incentive plan bonuses and sales commissions. We used $2.4 million on higher inventories, primarily for Connected Solutions. Inventories were higher at June 30, 2014 for Connected Solutions due to purchases to support site solutions business during the third and fourth quarters of 2014.

On the balance sheet, we used cash of $4.8 million because of reductions in accounts payable. Payables declined due to reductions in inventories and due to the timing of vendor purchases in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
