Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Companys consolidated financial position and the results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 2006 and for all periods presented.  The results of operations for the three and nine months periods ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 (fiscal year 2007).

Note 2. Computation of Income Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.  The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Options to purchase 5,884,999 and 4,957,962 shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively and options to purchase 5,934,749 and 4,718,054 shares of common stock for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted shares because the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.



Note 3. Revolving Credit Agreements:



The Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2006 (the Credit Agreement).  The Credit Agreement, which has improved terms over the prior agreement, is a three-year revolving credit facility in an amount of up to $40 million.  The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by a guaranty from certain direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of the Company, and substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The interest rate spread in the case of LIBOR and Base Rate loans and the payment of the non-use fees is dependent on the Companys leverage ratio.  Currently the revolving loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Companys option, at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.5% or an alternative base rate.  The alternative base rate is the greater of the LaSalle Bank National
      Association prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%.  The Company is also required to pay a non-use fee of 0.2% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving loans.  The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that include a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, a minimum tangible net worth test, a total leverage

ratio test (consolidated total debt to EBITDA), and a limitation on capital expenditures for any fiscal year as well as other non financial covenants.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants on December 31, 2006 and expects to comply with these covenants for the term of the debt.  There were no borrowings under this facility at December 31, 2006.



Note 4. Restructuring Charge



The Company recognized a restructuring expense of $443,000 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006.  This charge included personnel costs relating to the termination of 17 employees at Westell Inc.  As of December 31, 2006, all of these costs have been paid.



On December 29, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of HyperEdge Corporation.  The Company has implemented a restructuring plan to combine and streamline the operations of the companies to achieve synergies related to the manufacture and distribution of common NSA product lines.  The Company estimates the restructuring costs, which were primarily employee terminations, to be approximately $400,000. These costs were recorded as liabilities assumed in the acquisition.  Twenty employees were impacted by this plan.  Any adjustments to this plan will be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141.  As of December 31, 2006, $273,000 of these costs have been paid leaving an unpaid balance of $127,000.



The restructuring charges and their utilization are summarized as follows:

Note 8. Stock-based Compensation



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R).  This statement requires that the costs of all employee share-based payments be measured at fair value on the awards grant date and be recognized in the financial statements over the requisite service period. SFAS No. 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB No. 25) and its related interpretations, and eliminates the alternative use of the intrinsic value method of accounting under APB No. 25, which the Company previously used.



On April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method.  As a result, the Companys income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 is $268,000 and $841,000 lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25.  The $841,000 of expense is inclusive of a $62,000 reduction of expense resulting from the application of an estimated forfeiture rate to its existing unvested awards which is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognized forfeitures as they were incurred.  Additionally, under SFAS No. 123R, the Company has elected to recognize compensation expense for all share-based awards with service periods beginning subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R over the service
      period of the award, unless the award has a performance condition in which case compensation expense will be recognized using a graded vesting attribution method.  Also, under SFAS No. 123R the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost are now reported as a financing cash flow instead of as an operating cash flow as required under previous accounting literature.



Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company applied the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25 and related interpretations to account for its fixed-plan stock options.  Under this method, compensation expense was recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.  Pro forma net earnings as if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards are as follows:

On February 24, 2006, the Company accelerated the vesting of approximately 1.4 million unvested out of the money stock options  held by current employees and certain executive officers of the Company.  No options were accelerated for board members or the Chief Executive Officer.  The immediate vesting included a restriction on the resale of the underlying shares of common stock.  The acceleration of vesting was made to reduce compensation expense that otherwise would be recorded in future periods.  For pro forma disclosure purposes, these options were treated as if they were expensed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.



Non-qualified stock options



Stock options granted by the Company have an exercise price that is equal to or higher than the fair value of the Companys stock on the grant date. Options vest over period from two to five years, or upon the earlier of the achievement of Company and individual goals established, or 8 years.  The Company recorded expense of $199,000 and $645,000 in the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2006 related to stock options.  The excess tax benefit of $92,000 was reflected as a cash flow from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.  Total cash received from options exercised was $164,000 and $1.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The option activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 is as follows:

Non-qualified subsidiary stock options



The Companys Conference Plus subsidiary has a stock option plan for the purchase of Conference Plus stock. Stock options granted under this plan have an exercise price that is equal to the fair value of Conference Plus stock on the grant date.  Options can not be exercised until the earliest of the following to occur; an initial public offering, a spin off, a change in control of Conference Plus, or the fifth anniversary of the option grant date.  The Company recorded expense of $66,000 and $178,000 in the three and nine months periods ended December 31, 2006 related to these stock options.  The option activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 is as follows:

Restricted Stock



Vesting of restricted stock is subject to continued employment with the Company.  Restricted stock awards granted in fiscal year 2006 will vest in full on March 31, 2007.  The restricted stock awards granted in fiscal year 2005 will vest in full on June 1, 2008 with the exception of 20,000 awards that will vest on March 31, 2007.  Each restricted stock award is subject to partial vesting in the event of death, disability or involuntary termination other than for cause, as defined in the restricted stock award, based upon the number of months worked prior to the vesting date of the stock award.  The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the market value of Westell Technologies stock on the date of grant.  The Company recorded $239,000 and $206,000 of expense in the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $489,000 and $618,000
      of expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to these grants.  The following table sets forth restricted stock activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2006:

Note 9. Warranty Reserve



Most of the Companys products carry a limited warranty ranging from one to seven years.  The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold.  Factors that enter into the estimate of the Companys warranty reserve include the number of units shipped historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim.  The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the reserve as necessary.  The Company reports warranty reserve as both current and long term liabilities.  The Company recorded an additional liability in the amount of $1.1 million relating to a specific product warranty issue during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.  The following table presents the changes in the Companys product warranty reserve:

Note 10. Deferred Compensation



The Company has a deferred compensation program with its former Chief Executive Officer, E. Van Cullens, that is funded through a rabbi trust.  The rabbi trust qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity under FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and as such is consolidated in the Companys financial statements. Approximately $1.9 million of cash has been funded into the rabbi trust as of December 31, 2006.  The Company has recorded a $2.4 million short-term liability to accrue for the deferred compensation liability as of December 31, 2006.  The rabbi trust is subject to the creditors of the Company.  All amounts deferred under this compensation program vested on March 31, 2006.



Note 11. Sale of Product Line



On July 1, 2004, the Company sold its Data Station Termination product lines and specified fixed assets for $2.2 million to Enginuity Communications Corporation (Enginuity).  The Company received $2.0 million in cash, $200,000 in the form of a note receivable and provided an unconditional guarantee in the amount of $1.6 million



-12-

---



relating to a 10 year term Enginuity note payable to a third party lender that financed the transaction.  The balance of the term loan is $1.4 million as of December 31, 2006.  Certain owners of Enginuity pledged assets with a fair market value of $1.5 million and personally guaranteed the note payable.  These guarantees will stay in place until the note is paid in full.  The Company must pay all amounts due under the note payable upon demand from the lender.



The Company evaluated FIN 46R Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and concluded that Enginuity was a variable interest entity as a result of the debt guarantee.  The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity therefore consolidation is not required.



The Company assessed its obligation under this guarantee pursuant to the provisions of FIN 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others and recorded a $300,000 liability for the value of the guarantee.  The Company evaluates the liability each quarter and reduced the liability to $200,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 based on Enginuity operating performance and current status of the guaranteed debt obligation.



Note 12. Acquisition



On December 29, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of HyperEdge Corporation, a manufacturer of network service access products, for $14.0 million in cash.  The Company has accrued $649,000 in transaction costs, including costs for employee severance.  The Company paid $335,000 of transaction costs consisting of legal fees and accounting fees for intangible valuations in the nine months ended December 31 2006.  The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141) and accordingly the operating results of HyperEdge have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.



In accordance with SFAS No. 141, the total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date with excess purchase price allocated to goodwill.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the purchase price in the amount of $0.6 million (net of deferred tax) to accrue for the cost to exit a purchase agreement that was outstanding as of the acquisition date, but was not recorded or disclosed to the Company upon acquisition.  This adjustment resulted in recording of an additional $0.6 million to goodwill.  With this adjustment, the purchase price allocation for HyperEdge has been finalized.



On January 2, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Noran Tel, Inc located in Regina, Saskatchewan.  Noran Tel is a manufacturer of transmission, power distribution and remote monitoring products.  Noran Tel employs approximately 57 people and will remain in Canada as part of the Companys Network Service Access product group.   The purchase price for Noran Tel was $6.0 million CND, with a potential earn-out of an additional $4.0 million CND if certain financial performance goals are met.  The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141) and accordingly the operating results of Noran Tel will be included in the Companys consolidated financial results from the acquisition date.



In accordance with SFAS No. 141, the total purchase price will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date with excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocation for Noran Tel has not been finalized pending completion of final adjustments to liabilities assumed in the acquisition and the completion of valuation reports.



Note 13. New Accounting Pronouncements



In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.  FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification of, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for the Company beginning on April 1, 2007.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact



-13-

---



that the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on its financial condition and results of operations, which will be required to be adopted in the June 30, 2007 quarter.



In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement addresses how to calculate fair value measurements required or permitted under other accounting pronouncements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.



In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108),Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for the Company in its year ended March 31, 2007, and allows a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108. The Company is in the process of determining the effects, if any, that SAB 108 will have on its
financial statements.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Overview

The Company is comprised of two segments: telecommunications equipment manufacturer and teleconference services bureau.  The equipment manufacturing segment consists of two product lines: Customer Networking Equipment (CNE) products and Network Service Access (NSA) products.  The CNE product line includes broadband and digital subscriber line (DSL) technology products that allow the transport of high-speed data over the local loop and enable telecommunications companies to provide broadband services over existing copper infrastructure.  The Companys NSA product line consists of manageable and non-manageable T1 transmission equipment, associated mountings and special service plugs for the legacy copper telephone network.  Westell realizes the majority of its revenues from the North American market.

The Companys teleconference service segment is comprised of a 91.5% owned subsidiary, Conference Plus, Inc. Conference Plus provides audio, video, and web conferencing services.  Businesses and individuals use these services to hold voice, video or web conferences with many people at the same time.  Conference Plus sells its services directly to large customers, including  Fortune 1000 companies, and serves other customers indirectly through its private label reseller program.

The equipment manufacturing segment of the Companys business consists of two product lines, offering a broad range of products that facilitate the broadband transmission of high-speed digital and analog data between a telephone companys central office and end user customers.  These two product lines are:


              Customer Networking Equipment (CNE):  Westells family of broadband products enable the delivery of VoIP voice, video / IPTV and high-speed data over local telephone lines. The CNE broadband products allow telecommunications companies to provide media-rich broadband services regardless of whether the telephone company is using their existing copper infrastructure or newly installed fiber to the curb (FTTC) or fiber to the home (FTTH) infrastructure.  The Companys broadband products using both wired Ethernet and wireless 802.11b/g networking technologies enable residential, small business and Small Office Home Office (SOHO) users to establish networks which provide for multiple computers, telephones and other devices to access the Internet simultaneously.  Digital Subscriber Lines (ADSL2+),
      VDSL2 and fiber enabled products make up the majority of the revenue in this product group.



              Network Service Access (NSA):  Westells NSA product family consists of manageable and non-manageable T1 transmission equipment for telephone services, and an array of mounting products used for connecting telephone wires and cables, and special service plugs.  The T1 transmission equipment termed Network Interface Units (NIU) and the associated NIU mounting products make up the majority of revenue from this product group.


The prices for the products within each market group vary based upon volume, customer specifications and other criteria and are subject to change due to competition among telecommunications manufacturers and service providers.  Increasing competition, in terms of the number of entrants and their size, and increasing size of the Companys customers because of past mergers, continues to exert downward pressure on prices for the Companys products.  The Company expects average selling prices on its VersaLinkTM and ProLine products to decline 20% or less in fiscal year 2007.

On November 18, 2005, SBC (now AT&T Inc.) acquired AT&T Corp.  In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, sales to AT&T Inc. generated approximately 7.9% of the Companys total revenues.  The largest customer of Conference Plus is AT&T Inc. which offers services similar to Conference Plus.  AT&T accounted for 46.2% of the service segment revenue in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.  The Company is unable to predict at this time how the merger will impact the Companys results of operations in the future.

On December 29, 2006 AT&T Inc. completed its acquisition of BellSouth Corporation.  BellSouth was the Companys second largest customer.  The Company is unable to predict at this time how this merger will impact the Companys results from operations in the future.

In September 2006 the Company announced an end to joint development of the Verizon One product with Verizon Communications Inc.  The Company completed the remaining orders for Verizon One in the December quarter, and is now pursuing an independent development and marketing strategy for its own  multimedia terminal product.  Westell continues as Verizons primary supplier of DSL modems and gateway productsand continues to be engaged on video and convergence product opportunities at Verizon.

The Companys customer base is highly concentrated and comprised primarily of the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), independent domestic local exchange carriers and public telephone administrations located outside the U.S.  Due to the stringent quality specifications of its customers and the regulated environment in which its customers operate, the Company must undergo lengthy approval and procurement processes prior to selling its products.  Accordingly, the Company must make significant up front investments in product and market development prior to actual commencement of sales of new products.

To remain competitive, the Company must continue to invest in new product development and invest in targeted sales and marketing efforts to cover new product lines.  Failure to increase revenues from new products, whether due to lack of market acceptance, competition, technological change or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on the Companys business and results of operations.  The Company expects to continue to evaluate new product opportunities and engage in extensive research and development activities for the foreseeable future.

The Company is focusing on expanding its product offerings in the equipment segment from basic high speed broadband to more sophisticated applications such as VoIP, in-premise networking; wireless/wireline convergence, IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and FMC (Fixed Mobile Convergence); video / IPTV and multifunctional broadband appliances.  This will require the Company to continue to invest in research and development and sales and marketing, which could adversely affect short-term results of operations.  The Company expects to increase spending in research and development and sales and marketing and technical support by approximately 20% in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006 to take advantage of these market opportunities.  In view of the Companys reliance on the broadband CPE for revenues and the unpredictability of orders and pricing pressures, the Company believes that period-to-period
      comparisons of its financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

In the CNE equipment manufacturing segment, the Company is focusing on the evolving broadband demand, which includes increased bandwidth, richer application sets, converged capabilities and higher complexity.  The Company has introduced products including the UltraLineTM , ProLineTM VersaLinkTM and TriLinkTM, which are targeted at the broadband access, home networking, small office/home office (SOHO) and small business markets.  The Company has multiple evaluations and is engaging in trials for TriLinkTM, TrilinkTMIMS, UltraLineIITM and Ultraline Series 3.  The Company continues to focus on expanding existing and new products into the international market consisting primarily of Europe and Canada.

The Company expects the overall NSA market to decline annually by approximately 10% as the transition to high-speed digital service continues. This decline could impact the Companys future revenue.  The Company acquired 100% of the common stock of HyperEdge Corporation, on December 29, 2005 with the goal of strengthening the NSA business by improving margin through economies of scale.  With the addition of HyperEdge, the Company has increased its market share in mountings and NIUs. The Company also plans to invest in new product areas to complement wireless and fiber applications.

CNE revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2006 decreased due to a 25.2% decrease in unit volume compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2005 offset in part by a 2.3% increase in average selling price per unit.  This increase in average selling price is due to product mix.  CNE revenue decreased 16% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005 due to a 9.6% decrease in average selling price per unit and a 5.8% decrease in units sold.  NSA revenue increased in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 by 56% and 41%, respectively, compared to same periods ended December 31, 2005 due to the acquisition of HyperEdge, which occurred in December of 2005. Revenue in the services segment increased 11% and 5% in the three and nine months periods ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same periods ended December 31, 2005.

Gross margin increased as a percent of revenue in the equipment segment in both the three and nine months periods ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same periods ended December 31, 2005 primarily due to a higher mix of NSA revenue resulting from the acquisition of HyperEdge as well as benefit received from product cost reductions on ProlineTM and VersalinkTM.  Margins in the services segment decreased slightly in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same periods ended December 31, 2005.

The sales and marketing expense increase in the equipment segment in the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005 was due primarily to a $1,200,000 increase in warranty expense,  $200,000 salary and bonus expense and $204,000 test and evaluation units for CNE products.  The sales and marketing expense increase in the equipment segment in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005 was due primarily to a $1.0 million increase in warranty expense $500,000 of less billable warranty repair work, and $320,000 increase in salary and bonus expense.  The increase in warranty expense was from the Company recording a liability in the amount of $1.1 million relating to a specific product warranty issue.  The reserve recorded reflected the Companys best estimate of the total cost to correct the problem and does not
      include any offset for the potential recovery against the component supplier.  Sales and

marketing expense increased in the Companys services segment in the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period last year due primarily to a 15% increase in the number of employees at Conference Plus.  The Company believes that sales and marketing expense in the future will continue to be a significant percent of revenue and will be required to expand its product lines, bring new products to market and service customers.

Engineering expenses have increased in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2006.  A portion of this increase was due to an increase in external consulting expense of $160,000 and $1.5 million in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same periods ended December 31, 2005.  In addition, there was an 8% increase in the number of employees in the fiscal year 2007 periods resulting in $650,000 and $1,355,000 more compensation and employee related expenses.  The increase in engineering consulting and employees was primarily to support the development of the media gateway and video transport products and to a lesser extent the acquisition of HyperEdge.  The Company believes that research and development expenses will increase in fiscal year 2007 as the Company continues to focus on VoIP, in-premise networking, wireless/wireline
      convergence including IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and FMC (Fixed Mobile Convergence), video / IPTV and multifunctional broadband appliances, user interfaces and other broadband applications.

The increase in general and administrative expense in the equipment segment in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period ended December 31, 2005 is due primarily to a $270,000 fee paid to an executive search firm for the purpose of conducting a search for the new CEO.  The increase in general and administrative expense in the services segment in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period ended December 31, 2005 is due primarily to increased information technology costs.

Intangible amortizationIntangible amortization was $415,000 and $324,000 for the three months and $1.2 million and $972,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The intangibles consist of product technology related to the March 17, 2000 acquisition of Teltrend Inc. and product technology and customer relationships related to the December 29, 2005 HyperEdge Inc. acquisition.

Other income netOther income, net was $871,000 and $385,000 in the three months and $2.3 million and $399,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Interest income was $846,000 and $2.1 million in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $575,000 and $1.2 million in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005.  The increase in the current year interest income is due to higher cash balances on hand in addition to higher interest rates.  The December 31, 2005 quarter and nine months contained $185,000 and $681,000 of expense for unrealized losses on intercompany loans denominated in foreign currency.  For the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2006 the Company designated the intercompany loans as long term and therefore did not recognize any unrealized foreign currency losses.

Interest expenseInterest expense was $2,000 and $4,000 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $2,000 and $11,000 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005.  The decrease in interest expense during the current period is a result of lower net obligations outstanding during the period.

Income taxesThe Company recorded $1.0 million and $5.2 million of income tax expense based on an estimated annual effective tax rate of 39% in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 and $2.1 million and $6.9 million in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005, respectively.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2006 (the Credit Agreement).  The Credit Agreement, which has improved terms over the prior agreement, is a three-year revolving credit facility in an amount up to $40 million. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by a guaranty from certain direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of the Company, and substantially all of the assets of the Company.  Any proceeds from the revolving loans would be used for working capital purposes and for other general corporate purposes.  The interest rate spread in the case of LIBOR and Base Rate loans and the payment of the non-use fees is dependent on the Companys leverage ratio.  Currently the revolving loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Companys option, at the London Interbank Offered Rate
      (LIBOR) plus 1.5% or an alternative base rate.  The alternative base rate is the greater of the LaSalle Bank National Association prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%.  The Company is also required to pay a non-use fee of 0.2% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving loans.



The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that include a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, a minimum tangible net worth test, a total leverage ratio test (consolidated total debt to EBITDA), and a limitation on capital expenditures for any fiscal year.  Other covenants include limitations on lines of business, additional indebtedness, liens and negative pledge agreements, incorporation of other debt covenants, guarantees, investments and advances, cancellation of indebtedness, restricted payments, modification of certain agreements and instruments, inconsistent agreements, leases, consolidations, mergers and acquisitions, sale of assets, subsidiary dividends, and transactions with affiliates.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants on December 31, 2006 and expects to comply with these covenants for the term of the debt.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had $65.2 million in cash and cash equivalents consisting primarily of the highest rated grade corporate commercial paper.  On January 3, 2007, the Company used $5.2 million of cash for the acquisition of Noran Tel.  At December 31, 2006, the Company had no amounts outstanding and $40.0 million available under its secured revolving credit facility.

The Companys operating activities generated cash of $27.7 million in the nine months period ended December 31, 2006.  Cash generated by operations resulted primarily from net income, non-cash depreciation and amortization and reductions in inventory, accounts receivable and deferred taxes offset by a decrease in accounts payable.

The Companys investing activities used $4.0 million for the nine months period ended December 31, 2006.  Capital expenditures for the nine months period ended December 31, 2006 were $3.1 million.  The capital expenditures in the equipment segment were $2.3 million and were primarily for machinery and research and development equipment purchases.  The services segment capital expenditures were $724,000.  These expenditures were primarily for computer and telecom bridge equipment.

At December 31, 2006 the Companys principle sources of liquidity were $65.2 million of cash and the secured revolving credit facility under which the Company was eligible to borrow up to an additional $40 million.  Cash in excess of operating requirements, if any, will be invested on a short-term basis in the highest rated grade commercial paper.  The Company believes cash on hand and generated from operations will satisfy its future cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

The Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $63.5 million at December 31, 2006. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance reserve of $9.5 million to reduce the recorded net deferred tax asset to $54.0 million.  The net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2012. Realization of deferred tax assets associated with the Companys future deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards is

dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration.  The Company uses estimates of future taxable income and tax planning strategies by specific jurisdiction to access the valuation allowance required against deferred tax assets. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets and will adjust the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets accordingly.



Critical Accounting Policies



The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R using the fair value of awards at grant date and recognizing compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.  The determination of fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires several assumptions including expected stock volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected option term and expected forfeitures of awards. See footnote 8 for more detailed information on these assumptions.  For a description of our other critical accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.



ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Westell is subject to certain market risks, including foreign currency and interest rates.  The Company has foreign subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Ireland that develop and sell products and services in those respective countries.  The Company is exposed to potential gains and losses from foreign currency fluctuations affecting net investments and earnings denominated in foreign currencies.  Market risk is estimated as the potential decrease in pretax earnings resulting from a hypothetical decrease in the ending exchange rate of 10%.  If such a decrease occurred, the Company would incur approximately $29,000 in additional other expense based on the ending intercompany balance outstanding at December 31, 2006 that is expected to repaid in the foreseeable future.  The Companys future primary exposure is to changes in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar versus the British Pound Sterling and the Euro.
       The Company does not currently use any derivative financial instruments relating to the risk associated with changes in foreign currency rates.

As of December 31, 2006, the balance in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment account, which is a component of stockholders equity, was an unrealized gain of $24,000.



The Company does not have significant exposure to interest rate risk related to its debt obligations, which are primarily U.S. Dollar denominated.  The Company does not currently use any derivative financial instruments relating to the risk associated with changes in interest rates.



ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the Evaluation Date).  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
