demand and pricing trends, future expense levels, competition and growth prospects in our industry, trends in average selling prices and gross margins, product and infrastructure development, market demand and acceptance, the timing of and demand
for next generation products, customer relationships, tax rates, employee relations, the timing of and cost saving synergies from integration activities of the former LGP Allgon and REMEC, Inc.s Wireless Systems Businesses (REMEC

level of expected future capital and research and development expenditures. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of, estimates made by, and information currently available to Powerwave Technologies, Inc.s
(Powerwave or the Company) management and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Any other statements contained herein (including without limitation statements to the effect that Powerwave or management
estimates, expects, anticipates, plans, believes, projects, continues, may, will, could, or would or statements
concerning potential or opportunity or variations thereof or comparable terminology or the negative thereof) that are not statements of historical fact are also forward-looking statements. The actual results of Powerwave may
vary materially from those expected or anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The realization of such forward-looking statements may be impacted by certain important unanticipated factors, including those discussed under Part II,

results to anticipate results or trends in future periods. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or
to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in this and other documents that Powerwave files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including subsequent

POWERWAVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Tabular amounts in
thousands, except per share data)

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Powerwave Technologies, Inc (the Company) is a global supplier of end-to-end wireless solutions for wireless communications networks. Powerwave designs, manufactures and markets antennas, boosters,
combiners, filters, radio frequency power amplifiers, repeaters, tower-mounted amplifiers and advanced coverage solutions for use in cellular, PCS, 3G and WiMAX networks throughout the world.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Powerwave have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
certain footnotes and financial presentations normally required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial reporting. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal
adjustments and accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary to provide a fair presentation for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 1, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 30, 2007 (fiscal 2007). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

On September 29, 2006, Powerwave completed the sale of Arkivator Falköping AB (Arkivator), a wholly-owned
subsidiary. Arkivator consisted of all of the Companys contract manufacturing segment. Therefore, with its sale, the contract manufacturing segment of the Company was classified as discontinued operations and its results of operations have
been removed from continuing operations for all historical periods presented.

On October 15, 2006, Powerwave completed the
acquisition of the Wireless Infrastructure Division business of Filtronic plc, (the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition). Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Filtronic Wireless
Acquisition for the three and six months ended July 1, 2007, but such results are not included for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006.

Adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the
accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The Company is
subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, and has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in
these jurisdictions. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax expense. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 has been reported as
an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2007 (see Note 8).

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for the Company
on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement. SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and
required additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies only to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 157 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS
No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment,(SFAS No. 123R). Under the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123R, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The
Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and a multiple option award approach. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards are based on the closing market
price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of an award, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting
period.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as
operating cash flows in our consolidated statements of cash flows. SFAS 123R requires that the realized tax benefit related to the excess of the deductible amount over the compensation cost recognized (excess tax benefits) be classified in the
statement of cash flow as a cash inflow from financing activities and a cash outflow from operating activities. At the end of 2004 the Company took a 100% valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance is
still in place. Accordingly the Company has booked no tax benefit related to stock-based compensation as financing cash inflows and operating cash outflows on our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six
months ended July 1, 2007.

The Company has elected to follow the alternative transition method for computing its additional paid-in
capital pool. In addition, the Company treats the tax deductions from stock options as being realized when they reduce taxes payable in accordance with the principles and timing under the relevant tax law. Under this
transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards previously
calculated under SFAS No. 123 for pro forma disclosure purposes.

During the three and six months ended July 1, 2007, the
Company recognized total compensation expense of $1.1 million and $2.2 million respectively, which consists of $1.0 million and $2.1 million for stock options and $0.1 and $0.1 million for employee stock purchase plan awards in its consolidated
statement of operations.

As of July 1, 2007, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the
Companys stock-based awards and employee stock purchase plan was approximately $4.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. Option valuation methods require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the weighted average risk-free interest rate, the expected life, and the expected stock price volatility. The weighted average risk-free
interest rate was determined based upon actual U.S. treasury rates over the actual vesting periods of the grants. The expected life was determined based upon actual option grant lives over a 10 year period. The Company has utilized various market
sources to calculate the implied volatility factor utilized in the Black-Scholes option valuation model. These included the implied volatility utilized in the pricing of options on the Companys common stock as well as the implied volatility
utilized in determining market prices of the Companys outstanding convertible notes. Using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, the estimated weighted average fair value of options granted during the second quarter of fiscal years 2007
and 2006 were $2.81 per share and $3.56 per share, respectively.

The fair value of options granted under the Companys stock
incentive plans during the first six months of fiscal 2007 and 2006 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the multiple option approach and the following weighted-average assumptions:

Note 5. Asset Held for Sale

As part of the restructuring plan related to the Companys acquisition of selected assets and liabilities of REMEC, Inc.s Wireless Systems
Business (the REMEC Wireless Acquisition), the Company moved production of certain wireless communications equipment out of Costa Rica primarily to Asia and vacated the building in Barreal de Heredia, Costa Rica. In the fourth quarter of
2006, the Company completed the final consolidation of the building and made it available for sale. The Company expects that the final sale and disposal of the building will be completed in 2007. The carrying value of the building has been
separately presented in the accompanying balance sheet in the caption Asset held for sale, and this asset is no longer being depreciated. In the six months ended July 1, 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of
approximately $1.6 million related to the building to reflect its estimated current market value.

Note 7. Restructuring and Impairment Charges

2007 Restructuring Plan

In the second
quarter of 2007, the Company formulated and began to implement a plan to further consolidate operations and reduce operating costs. As part of this plan, the Company closed its design and development centers in El Dorado Hills, California and
Toronto, Canada, and discontinued its design and development center in Shipley, UK. The Company is still evaluating further actions and expects to finalize these plans by the fourth quarter of 2007.

The costs associated with these exit activities were recorded in accordance with the accounting
guidance in SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, (FAS 146). The restructuring and integration plan is subject to continued future refinement as additional information becomes
available. We expect that the workforce reduction amounts will be paid by the end of the third quarter and the facility closure amounts will be paid out over the remaining lease terms which extend through the first quarter of 2008.

2006 Plan for Consolidation of Operations

In the fourth quarter of 2006, and in connection with the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition, the Company formulated and began to implement a plan to restructure our global manufacturing operations with an initial primary focus on operations in
China. As part of this plan to reduce our costs, the Company is consolidating its manufacturing facilities in Wuxi and Shanghai, China, into the manufacturing facility located in Suzhou, China, acquired in the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition.
The plan was finalized in the second quarter of 2007 and includes reduction of workforce, impairment and disposal of inventory and equipment utilized in discontinued product lines, and facility closure costs. Management made a decision to cease
production of certain product lines manufactured in the two plants that are closing in China, as well as products manufactured in Costa Rica and produced at a contract manufacturer in China due to efforts to reduce costs and to eliminate duplicative
product lines. The Costa Rica manufacturing facility was closed in December 2006.

purchase order commitments on closed facilities. These charges were recorded as restructuring and impairment charges within cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During fiscal 2006, Powerwave listed for sale three facilities located in Sweden and entered into sale agreements for two of the three facilities. The
prices negotiated resulted in a net loss of approximately $3.5 million. The total amount of these impairments were recognized in operating expenses for fiscal 2006. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company recognized impairment in the value of its
remaining facility in Sweden of approximately $18.3 million. The Company sold the facility for approximately $11.8 million and realized a loss of approximately $1.0 million.

In December 2006, the Company completed the closure of its manufacturing facility in Barreal de Heredia, Costa Rica and offered the building for sale.
The Company recorded a further impairment charge of $1.6 million related to the building in the first six months of 2007 and expects that the sale of the building will be completed in 2007 (see Note 5). The impairment charge was recorded as a
restructuring and impairment charge within cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

A summary of the activity
affecting the Companys accrued restructuring liability related to the 2006 Plan for Consolidation of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended July 1, 2007 is as follows:

The costs associated with these exit activities were recorded in accordance with the accounting
guidance in SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, (FAS 146). Our restructuring and integration plans are subject to continued future refinement as additional information becomes
available.

Integration of LGP Allgon and REMECs Wireless Systems Business

The Company recorded liabilities in connection with the acquisitions for estimated restructuring and integration costs related to the consolidation of
REMECs Wireless Systems Business and LGP Allgon operations, including severance and future lease obligations on excess facilities. These estimated costs were included in the allocation of the purchase consideration and resulted in additional
goodwill pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination(or 95-3). The implementation of the restructuring and integration plan is
substantially complete.

We expect that the workforce reduction amounts will be paid out over the next 12 months and the
facility closure amounts will be paid out over the remaining lease terms which approximate 18 months.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes in interim periods based on the estimated effective income tax rate for the complete fiscal year. The income tax
provision is computed on the pretax income of the consolidated entities located within each taxing jurisdiction based on current tax law. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the future tax consequences associated with
temporary differences between income and expenses reported for financial accounting and tax reporting purposes. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
is recorded to the extent that the Company cannot determine that the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

Realization of deferred tax assets is principally dependent upon the achievement of future taxable income, the estimation of which requires significant management judgment. The Companys judgments regarding future profitability may
change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the Companys ability to successfully execute its business plans and/or tax planning strategies. These changes, if any, may require material adjustments to these deferred tax
asset balances. Due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of the Companys cumulative federal and state net operating losses, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against a portion of its gross deferred tax assets. For the
foreseeable future, the Federal tax provision related to future earnings will be offset substantially by a reduction in the valuation allowance. Accordingly, current and future tax expense will consist primarily of certain required state income
taxes and taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions.

In addition to unrecognized tax
benefits, the Company has recorded valuation allowances against its net tax benefits in certain jurisdictions arising from net operating losses. On a quarterly basis, the Company reassesses the need for such valuation allowances based on operating
results and its assessment of the likelihood of future taxable income and developments in the relevant tax jurisdictions. During the 1stquarter of 2007,
and based on historical and forecasted earnings in Finland, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that certain net deferred tax assets in Finland would be realized. Based on this determination, the Company established a
valuation allowance against these net deferred tax assets in Finland. Additionally, the Company continued to maintain a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in the U.S., Sweden and UK jurisdictions as of July 1, 2007, due to
uncertainties that such net deferred tax assets will be realized.

Acquired tax liabilities related to prior tax returns of acquired
entities at the date of purchase are recognized based on the Companys estimate of the ultimate settlement that may be accepted by the tax authorities. The Company continually evaluates these tax-related matters. At the date of any material
change in the Companys estimate of items relating to an acquired entitys prior tax returns, and at the date that the items are settled with the tax authorities, any liabilities previously recognized are adjusted to increase or decrease
the remaining balance of goodwill attributable to that acquisition.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in
tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The Company is subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as
of January 1, 2007, and has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The periods subject to
examination for the Companys U.S. federal return are the 2003 through 2006 tax years, including adjustments to net operating loss and credit carryovers to those years. In addition, the Company has subsidiaries in various foreign jurisdictions
that have statutes of limitation generally ranging from 3 to 6 years.

A reserve for uncertain income tax positions has been
recorded pursuant to FIN 48 in the amount of $4.0 million in taxes and accrued penalties and interest of $0.2 million. Of this amount, $1.3 million would affect tax expense if the uncertain tax benefits were recognized and $2.7 million would
result in a decrease of deferred tax assets in jurisdictions where they are currently offset by a full valuation allowance. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense which were $0.1
million for the six months ended July 1, 2007.

The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the
2004 and 2005 tax years, respectively. It is likely that the examination will conclude during 2007. Therefore it is reasonably possible that in the next 12 months a change in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur in finalization of the
examination. The amount of the possible change is not expected to result in a material change to the financial statements due to the Companys net operating loss carryovers and valuation allowance recorded against its net deferred tax assets in
the U.S.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

In the first quarter of 2007, four purported shareholder class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, its President and Chief Executive Officer, its
Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and its Chief Financial Officer. The complaints are Jerry Crafton v. Powerwave Technologies, Inc., et. al., Kenneth Kwan v. Powerwave Technologies, Inc., et. al., Achille Tedesco v.
Powerwave Technologies, Inc., et. al. and Farokh Etemadieh v. Powerwave Technologies, Inc. et. al. and were brought under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaints purport to
state claims on behalf of all persons who purchased Powerwave securities between May 2, 2005 and October 9, 2006 and seek compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial. The essence of the allegations are that the defendants made
misleading statements or omissions concerning the Companys projected and actual sales revenues, the integration of certain acquisitions and the sufficiency of the Companys internal controls. In June 2007, the four cases were consolidated
into one case, a lead plaintiff was appointed, and the lead plaintiffs selection of lead counsel was approved by the court. Lead plaintiff is expected to file a consolidated and amended complaint on or before October 12, 2007. The Company
believes that the purported consolidated shareholder class action is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously.

In March 2007, an
additional lawsuit that relates to the pending shareholder 10b-5 action was filed. The lawsuit, Cucci v. Edwards, et al., filed in the Superior Court of California, is a shareholder derivative action, purported to be brought by an
individual shareholder on behalf of Powerwave, against current and former directors of Powerwave. Powerwave is also named as a nominal defendant. The allegations of the derivative complaint closely resemble those in the class action and pertain to
the same time period, May 2, 2005 through October 9, 2006. Based on those allegations, the derivative complaint asserts various claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, mismanagement, and insider trading under state
law. The derivative complaint has been removed to the federal court and is pending before the same judge as the pending shareholder 10b-5 action. Powerwave disputes the allegations raised in the derivative action and plans to pursue a vigorous
defense of this matter.

Note 10. Contractual Guarantees and Indemnities

Warranty Reserves

The Company
establishes reserves for future product warranty costs that are expected to be incurred pursuant to specific warranty provisions with its customers. The Company also has contractual requirements with various customers that could require the Company
to incur costs to repair an epidemic defect with respect to its products outside of the normal warranty period if such defect were to occur. The Companys warranty reserves are generally established at the time of sale and updated throughout
the warranty period based upon numerous factors including historical warranty return rates and expenses over various warranty periods. The Company also accrues additional

During the normal course of its business, Powerwave makes certain contractual guarantees and
indemnities pursuant to which the Company may be required to make future payments under specific circumstances. Powerwave has not recorded any liability for these contractual guarantees and indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements. A description of significant contractual guarantees and indemnities existing as of July 1, 2007 is included below:

Intellectual Property Indemnities

The Company indemnifies certain customers and its contract manufacturers against
liability arising from third-party claims of intellectual property rights infringement related to the Companys products. These indemnities appear in development and supply agreements with our customers as well as manufacturing service
agreements with our contract manufacturers, are not limited in amount or duration and generally survive the expiration of the contract. Given that the amount of any potential liabilities related to such indemnities cannot be determined until an
infringement claim has been made, Powerwave is unable to determine the maximum amount of losses that it could incur related to such indemnifications. Historically, any amounts payable pursuant to such intellectual property indemnifications have not
had a material effect on the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations.

Director and Officer Indemnities
and Contractual Guarantees

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers which
require the Company to indemnify such individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Companys indemnification obligations under such agreements are not limited in amount or duration. Certain costs incurred in connection with
such indemnifications may be recovered under certain circumstances under various insurance policies. Given that the amount of any potential liabilities related to such indemnities cannot be determined until a lawsuit has been filed against a
director or executive officer, the Company is unable to determine the maximum amount of losses that it could incur relating to such indemnifications. Historically, any amounts payable pursuant to such director and officer indemnifications have not
had a material negative effect on the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company has also entered
into severance and change in control agreements with certain of its executives. These agreements provide for the payment of specific compensation and benefits to such executives upon the termination of their employment with Powerwave in certain
circumstances.

General Contractual Indemnities/Products Liability

During the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts with customers where it has agreed to indemnify the other party for personal
injury or property damage caused by the Companys products. The Companys indemnification obligations under such agreements are not limited in duration and are generally not limited in amount. Historically, any amounts payable pursuant to
such contractual indemnities have not had a material negative effect on the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains product liability insurance as well as errors and omissions insurance which may
provide a source of recovery to the Company in the event of an indemnification claim.

Other Guarantees and Indemnities

The Company occasionally issues guarantees for certain contingent liabilities under various contractual arrangements, including customer contracts,
self-insured retentions under certain insurance policies, and governmental value-added tax compliance programs. These guarantees normally take the form of standby letters of credit issued by the Companys bank, which may be secured by cash
deposits or pledges, or performance bonds issued by an insurance company. Historically, any amounts payable pursuant to such guarantees have not had a material negative effect on Powerwaves business, financial condition or results of
operations. In addition, the Company, as part of the agreements to register the convertible notes it issued in November 2004 and July 2003, agreed to indemnify the selling security holders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933. The Companys indemnification obligations under such agreements are not limited in duration and generally not limited in amount.

Note 11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earning Per Share, basic earnings (loss)
per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common and potential common shares for each period presented and income available to
common stockholders is adjusted to reflect any changes in income or loss that would result from the issuance of the dilutive common shares. The Companys potential common shares include stock options under the treasury stock method and
convertible subordinated debt under the if-converted method. Potential common shares of 30,880,469 and 30,790,828 related to the Companys stock option programs and convertible debt have been excluded from diluted weighted average common shares
for the three and six months ended July 1, 2007, respectively, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006 includes the add-back of interest expense (net of tax) of
approximately $1.6 million and $3.3 million associated with the assumed conversion of the Companys outstanding convertible subordinated debt with the addition of 30,427,017 and 30,427,017 shares, respectively, as well as stock options under
the treasury stock method of 1,414,330 and 1,872,379 shares, respectively.

The following details the calculation of basic and diluted
income (loss) per share:

Note 12. Customer Concentrations

Powerwaves product sales have historically been concentrated in a small number of customers. During the six months ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006, sales to customers that accounted for 10% or more
of revenues totaled $179.7 million and $126.5 million, respectively. Sales to Nokia Siemens Networks accounted for approximately 36% and sales to Alcatel-Lucent and related entities accounted for approximately 15% of total revenues for the six
months ended July 1, 2007. For the six months ended July 2, 2006, sales to Nokia accounted for approximately 19% and sales to Siemens accounted for approximately 12% of total revenues. Please note that Alcatel and Lucent completed their
merger during the fourth quarter of 2006 and Nokia and Siemens completed their joint venture at the end of the first quarter of 2007.

As
of July 1, 2007, approximately 35% and 13% of total accounts receivable related to two customers, respectively, that each accounted for 10% or more of Powerwaves total revenue during the first six months of 2007. Any inability to collect
outstanding receivables from these customers or the loss of, or reduction in, sales to any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.

Note 13. Supplier Concentrations

Certain of
Powerwaves products, as well as components utilized in such products, are available in the short-term only from a single or a limited number of sources. In addition, in order to take advantage of volume pricing discounts, the Company purchases
certain customized components from single-source suppliers as well as finished products from single-source contract manufacturers. The inability to obtain single-source components or finished products in the amounts needed on a timely basis or at
commercially reasonable prices could result in delays in product introductions, interruption in product shipments or increases in product costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and
results of operations until alternative sources could be developed at a reasonable cost.

Note 14. Segments and Geographic Data

Powerwave operates in one reportable business segment: Wireless Communications. Powerwaves revenues are derived from the sale of
wireless communications network products and coverage solutions, including antennas, boosters, combiners, filters, radio frequency power amplifiers, repeaters, tower-mounted amplifiers and advanced coverage solutions for use in cellular, PCS, 3G and
WiMAX wireless communications networks throughout the world.

On September 29, 2006, Powerwave sold its Arkivator subsidiary which
operated its entire contract manufacturing segment. Consequently, the contract manufacturing segment of Powerwave is classified as a discontinued operation and its results are removed from continuing operations for the first six months of 2006. The
cash flow activities of the contract manufacturing segment remain in the statements of cash flows for the six months ended July 2, 2006.

Powerwave manufactures multiple product categories at its manufacturing locations and produces certain products at more than one location. With regards to sales, Powerwave sells its products through two major sales channels. The largest
channel is the original equipment manufacturers channel, which consists of large global companies such as Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia Siemens, Nortel and Samsung. The other major channel is direct to wireless network operators, such as
Cingular Wireless, Bouyges, Orange, Sprint, Verizon Wireless and Vodafone. A majority of our products are sold to both sales channels. The Company maintains global relationships with most of our customers. The Companys original equipment
manufacturer customers normally purchase on a global basis and the sales to these customers, while recognized in various reporting regions, are managed on a global basis. For network operator customers, where they have a global presence, the Company
typically maintains a global purchasing agreement. Individual sales are made on a regional basis.

The Company measures its success by
monitoring our net sales by product and consolidated gross margins, with a short-term goal of maintaining a positive operating cash flow while striving to achieve long-term operating profits.

Note 15. Lines of Credit

On April 24, 2007, the Company terminated its $75.0 million Amended Credit Agreement with Bank of America N.A., as Documentation Agent and Comerica Bank as Administrative Agent. As of the date of termination, the
Company had not borrowed any amounts under the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Amended Credit Agreement.

On April 24, 2007, Powerwave and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a Revolving Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement with Deutsche Bank AG,
New York Branch, as Administrative Agent (the Receivables Purchase Agreement). The Receivables Purchase Agreement provides for a receivables sales facility pursuant to which certain trade receivables are sold to a group of banks, which
group initially consists of Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch. The outstanding amount of trade receivables sold under the receivables facility may not exceed $65.0 million at any given time. Pursuant to the receivables sales facility, Powerwave and
certain subsidiaries can sell on a recourse basis, eligible trade receivables to the bank group for a purchase price equal to 90% of the face amount thereof, and Powerwave acts as the servicer for such receivables. Powerwaves appointment as
the servicer is subject to termination events that are customary for such transactions. The receivables sales facility is also subject to conditions to funding, representations and warranties, undertakings and early termination events that are
customary for transactions of this nature. This trade receivables revolving credit agreement is available for working capital and general corporate purposes. At July 1, 2007, there was approximately $12.8 million outstanding on this line.

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

The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included under Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited). This discussion contains forward-looking statements,
the realization of which may be impacted by certain important factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in Risk Factors, in Part II, Item 1A included herein.

Introduction and Overview

Powerwave is a global
supplier of end-to-end wireless solutions for wireless communications networks. Our business consists of the design, manufacture and marketing and sale of products to improve coverage, capacity and data speed in wireless communications networks,
including antennas, boosters, combiners, filters, radio frequency power amplifiers, repeaters, tower-mounted amplifiers, and advanced coverage solutions. These products are utilized in major wireless networks throughout the world which support voice
and data communications by use of cell phones and other wireless communication devices. We sell such products to both original equipment manufacturers, who incorporate our products into their proprietary base stations (which they then sell to
network operators), and directly to individual wireless network operators for deployment into their existing networks.

Powerwave operates
in one reportable business segment: Wireless Communications. All of our revenues are derived from the sale of wireless communications network products and coverage solutions, including antennas, boosters, combiners, filters, radio
frequency power amplifiers, repeaters, tower-mounted amplifiers and advanced coverage solutions for use in cellular, PCS, 3G and WiMAX wireless communications networks throughout the world. Our products are sold globally and produced in multiple
locations.

On September 29, 2006, we sold our Arkivator subsidiary which consisted of our entire contract manufacturing segment.
Consequently, our contract manufacturing segment is now classified as a discontinued operation and the results of this segment are removed from continuing operations for all reporting periods prior to the date of sale.

We believe that our future success depends upon continued growth in demand for wireless services as well as our ability to broaden our customer base. For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (fiscal 2006), our largest customer was Nokia, who accounted for approximately 21% of our net sales. Our next largest customer in fiscal 2006, Siemens, accounted for approximately 13% of our
net sales. Effective April 1, 2007, these two customers formed a new joint venture company consisting of both companies wireless infrastructure divisions. Also during 2006, two other major OEM customers, Alcatel and Lucent, announced plans to
merge, and their merger was completed during the fourth quarter of 2006. These customer consolidations within the wireless infrastructure industry have created greater uncertainty in the short-term and have made accurate forecasting of short-term
demand extremely difficult and have had a negative impact on our business and results of operations. The loss of any of these customers, or a significant loss, reduction or rescheduling of orders from any of our customers would have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See We rely upon a few customers for the majority of our revenues; and Our success is tied to the growth of the wireless services communications market.
under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

A limited number of large original equipment manufacturers and large global
wireless network operators account for a majority of wireless base station equipment purchasers in the wireless equipment market, and our future success is dependent upon our ability to establish and maintain relationships with these types of
customers. While we regularly attempt to expand our customer base, we cannot give any assurance that a major customer will not reduce, delay or eliminate its purchases from us. During fiscal 2006 and the first half of fiscal 2007 we experienced
significant reductions in demand from Cingular Wireless, Nokia and Siemens, which had an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We have also previously experienced significant reductions in demand from our customers, including the
significant reduction in demand during fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002 that had an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Any future reductions in demand by any of our major customers would have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition. See We rely upon a few customers for the majority of our revenues under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, declining average sales prices for our products. Consolidation among wireless service
providers has enabled such companies to place increased pricing pressure on

wireless infrastructure manufacturers, which in turn has resulted in downward pricing pressure on our products. In addition, ongoing competitive pressures
and consolidation within the wireless infrastructure equipment market have put pressure on us to continually reduce the sales price of our products. Consequently, we believe that our gross margins may decline over time and that in order to maintain
or improve our gross margins, we must achieve manufacturing cost reductions, reduce our overhead costs as well as our operating expenses and develop new products that incorporate advanced features that may generate higher gross margins. See
Our success is tied to the growth of the wireless services communications market; and Our average sales prices have declined under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires our
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty obligations, restructuring
reserves, asset impairment, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. We base these estimates on our historical experience and on various other factors which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of certain expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions by their nature involve risks and uncertainties, and
may prove to be inaccurate. In the event that any of our estimates or assumptions are inaccurate in any material respect, it could have a material adverse effect on our reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

For a summary of our significant accounting
policies and estimates, see Item 7 (Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement
related to accounting for income taxes. The Company is subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, and has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax
returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax expense. The cumulative effect of applying the
provisions of FIN 48 has been reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2007 (see Note 8 to our interim financial statements).

Accruals for Restructuring and Impairment Charges

We recorded $53.0 million, $1.3 million and $2.6 million of restructuring and impairment charges during fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In the first six months of 2007, the Company recorded
restructuring and impairment charges of approximately $22.2 million.

Such charges relate to our restructuring plans to consolidate and
integrate LGP Allgon and REMECs Wireless Systems Business, our 2006 Plan for Consolidation of Operations and our 2007 Restructuring Plan. See further discussion of these plans in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, Restructuring and Impairment Charges..

All of these restructuring and impairment accruals related primarily to
workforce reductions, consolidation of facilities, and the discontinuation of certain product lines, including the associated write-downs of inventory, manufacturing and test equipment, and certain intangible assets. Such accruals were based on
estimates and

assumptions made by management about matters which were uncertain at the time, including the timing and amount of sublease income that will be recovered on
vacated property and the net realizable value of used equipment that is no longer needed in our continuing operations. While we used our best current estimates based on facts and circumstances available at the time to quantify these charges,
different estimates could reasonably be used in the relevant periods to arrive at different accruals and/or the actual amounts incurred or recovered may be substantially different from the assumptions utilized, either of which could have a material
impact on the presentation of our financial condition or results of operations for a given period. As a result, we periodically review the estimates and assumptions used and reflect the effects of those revisions in the period that they become
known.

Net Sales

Our sales are derived from
the sale of wireless communications network products and coverage solutions, including antennas, boosters, combiners, filters, radio frequency power amplifiers, repeaters, tower-mounted amplifiers and advanced coverage solutions for use in cellular,
PCS, 3G and WiMAX wireless communications networks throughout the world. Sales decreased by 15% to $185.6 million for the three months ended July 1, 2007, from $219.6 million, for the three months ended July 2, 2006. This decrease was due
to several factors, which included significant lower demand from our direct operator customers, which decreased by approximately $51.0 million or 56% for the three months ended July 1, 2007 from the three months ended July 2, 2006. This
was somewhat offset by an increase in our business with our OEM customers, which increased by approximately $17.1 million or 13% for the three months ended July 1, 2007 compared to the three months ended July 2, 2006. The increase in our
OEM business was primarily due to the impact of the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Antenna systems consist of base station antennas and tower-mounted amplifiers. Base station
systems consist of products that are installed into or around the base station of wireless networks and include products such as boosters, combiners, filters, radio frequency power amplifiers and VersaFlex cabinets. Coverage systems consist
primarily of repeaters and advanced coverage solutions. The decrease in antenna systems and coverage systems product groups is due to the impact of lower demand during the three months ended July 1, 2007 as compared to the three months ended
July 2, 2006. Since antenna systems and coverage systems are primarily sold direct to network operators and other direct customers, lower demand by our direct network customers in 2007 contributed to the lower demand for both antenna and
coverage systems sales.

We track the geographic location of our sales based upon the location of our customers to which we ship our
products. Since many of our original equipment manufacturer customers purchase products from us at central locations and then reship the product with other base station equipment to locations throughout the world, we are unable to identify the final
installation location of many of our products. The following table presents an analysis of our net sales based upon the geographic area to which a product was shipped:

Revenues in the Americas decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 2006, primarily as a result of reduced demand by our network operator customers, with the largest impact by Cingular Wireless, (now known as AT&T). The increase in revenues in the Asia region, particularly growth in India, and
the reduction in revenues in the European region is largely attributable to an increase in European OEM business taking delivery of products in Asia for the Asian market and growth in demand in parts of the Asian region, particularly growth in
India. Since wireless network infrastructure spending is dependent on individual network coverage and capacity demands, we do not believe that our revenue fluctuations for any geographic region are necessarily indicative of a predictable trend for
our future revenues by geographic area. In addition, as noted above, growth in one geographic location may not reflect actual demand growth in that location due to the centralized buying processes of our original equipment manufacturer customers.

For the quarter ended July 1, 2007, total sales to Nokia Siemens accounted for approximately 38% of sales and sales to Alcatel-Lucent
accounted for approximately 17% or more of sales for the quarter. For the quarter ended July 2, 2006, total sales to Nokia accounted for approximately 22% of sales, and sales to Siemens accounted for approximately 12% of sales. Notwithstanding
our acquisitions, our business remains largely dependent upon a limited number of customers within the wireless communications market and we cannot guarantee that we will continue to be successful in attracting new customers or retaining or
increasing business with our existing customers.

A number of factors have caused delays and may cause future delays in new wireless
infrastructure and upgrade deployment schedules throughout the world, including deployments in the United States, Europe, Asia, South America and other areas. In addition, a number of factors may cause original equipment manufacturers to alter their
outsourcing strategy concerning certain wireless communications network products, which could cause such original equipment manufacturers to reduce or eliminate their demand for external supplies of such products or shift their

demand to alternative suppliers or internal suppliers. Such factors include lower perceived internal manufacturing costs and competitive reasons to remain
vertically integrated. Due to the possible uncertainties associated with wireless infrastructure deployments and original equipment manufacturer demand, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience significant fluctuations in demand from
our original equipment manufacturer and network operator customers. Such fluctuations have caused and may continue to cause significant reductions in our revenues and/or operating results, which has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely
impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Our cost of sales includes both fixed and variable cost components and consists primarily of materials, assembly and test labor, overhead, which includes
equipment and facility depreciation, transportation costs, warranty costs and amortization of product-related intangibles. Components of our fixed cost structure include test equipment and facility depreciation, purchasing and procurement expenses
and quality assurance costs. Given the fixed nature of such costs, the absorption of our overhead costs into inventory decreases and the amount of overhead variances expensed to cost of sales increases as volumes decline since we have fewer units to
absorb our overhead costs against. Conversely, the absorption of our overhead costs into inventory increases and the amount of overhead variances expensed to cost of sales decreases as volumes increase since we have more units to absorb our overhead
costs against. As a result, our gross profit margins generally decrease as revenue and volumes decline due to lower sales volume and higher amounts of overhead variances expensed to cost of sales; and our gross profit margins generally increase as
our revenue and volumes increase due to higher sales volume and lower amounts of overhead variances expensed to cost of sales.

Our total gross profit decreased during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of our decreased revenues and increased intangible amortization combined with restructuring and impairment charges incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Our lower revenues contributed to poor
absorption of our manufacturing overheads and delayed previously anticipated material cost reductions due to the lower purchasing volume. The completion of our acquisition of the Wireless Infrastructure Division business of Filtronic plc in the
fourth quarter of 2006 (the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition) added significant additional manufacturing overhead expenses which are not being absorbed by our lower revenues. Also contributing to the reduction in our gross margins was a
significant reduction in direct operator sales, which typically have carried higher margins than our OEM based sales. The increased intangible amortization costs are due to the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition. We incurred approximately $6.1 million
of restructuring and impairment charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 related to restructuring plans implemented in conjunction with our China manufacturing consolidation, the closure of our Costa Rica and Philippines manufacturing
locations and our 2007 restructure activities (see Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Restructuring and Impairment Charges.)

The wireless communications infrastructure equipment industry is extremely competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change, new product development and product obsolescence, evolving industry standards
and significant price erosion over the life of a product. Certain of our competitors have aggressively lowered prices in an attempt to gain market share. Due to these competitive pressures and the pressures of our customers to continually lower
product costs, we expect that the average sales prices of our products will continue to decrease and negatively impact our gross margins. In addition, we have introduced new products at lower sales prices and these lower sales prices have impacted
the average sales prices of our products. We have also reduced prices on our

existing products in response to our competitors and customer demands. We currently expect that pricing pressures will remain strong in our industry. Future
pricing actions by our competitors and us may adversely impact our gross profit margins and profitability, which could result in decreased liquidity and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We continue to strive for manufacturing and engineering cost reductions to offset pricing pressures on our products, as evidenced by our decision to
close our Costa Rica, Shanghai and Wuxi, China manufacturing operations as part of our plan to reduce our manufacturing costs. However, we cannot guarantee that these cost reduction, and our outsourcing or product redesign efforts will keep pace
with price declines and cost increases. If we are unable to further reduce our costs through our manufacturing, outsourcing and/or engineering efforts, our gross margins and profitability will be adversely affected. See Our average sales
prices have declined; and Our reliance on contract manufacturers exposes us to risks under Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of sales salaries and commissions, travel expenses,
advertising and marketing expenses, selling expenses, charges for customer demonstration units and trade show expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 59%, during the quarter ended July 1, 2007 as compared to the
quarter ended July 2, 2006. The increase resulted primarily due to increased salaries associated with increased headcount added over the last year, as well as increased travel expenses, trade show expenses, customer demonstration units and
selling expenses.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of ongoing design and development expenses for new wireless
communications network products, as well as for advanced coverage solutions. We also incur design expenses associated with reducing the cost and improving the manufacturability of our existing products. Research and development expenses can
fluctuate dramatically from period to period depending on numerous factors including new product introduction schedules, prototype developments and hiring patterns. Research and development expenses increased by $7.3 million, or 49%, during the
quarter ended July 1, 2007 as compared to the quarter ended July 2, 2006 primarily due to the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2006, which added approximately 210 personnel to our research and development area as
well as increased the number of active projects within which such work is undertaken generating increased material expenses. During the second quarter of 2007, we initiated restructuring activities which will reduce personnel in various locations.
(see Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Restructuring and Impairment Charges.)

General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other expenses for management, finance, information systems, legal fees, facilities and human resources. General and administrative expenses increased $6.3 million, or 50%, during the quarter
ended July 1, 2007 as compared to the quarter ended July 2, 2006. This increase was due to additional expenses associated with the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition as well as increased professional fees associated with legal and accounting
compliance activities and additional legal fees associated with the securities class action lawsuits filed against the Company.

Amortization of customer-related intangibles from our acquisitions, amounted to $2.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $2.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase was due to amortization of the
Filtronic Wireless intangibles acquired in October 2006.

Interest income decreased by $1.9 million during the quarter ended July 1, 2007 primarily due
to decreased cash balances following the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2006. As part of the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition, we paid $185 million in cash, along with 17.7 million shares of our common stock. Also
contributing to lower other income (expense) was a foreign exchange loss of approximately $0.7 million due the strength of the Euro relative to the Swedish Krona in the second quarter, which caused Euro denominated accounts receivable held in Sweden
to be negatively impacted during the quarter ended July 1, 2007. Interest expense increased primarily due to the write-off of capitalized issuance costs in the amount of approximately $0.6 million associated with the Companys Bank of
America line of credit which we terminated in the second quarter of 2007. These declines were partially offset by an increase in other income of approximately $0.5 million.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective
tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2007 was an expense of approximately 5.0% of our pre-tax losses of $42.4 million. We have recorded a valuation allowance against a portion of our deferred tax assets pursuant to SFAS No. 109 due
to the uncertainty as to the timing and ultimate realization of those assets. As such, for the foreseeable future, the tax provision or tax benefit related to future U.S. earnings or losses will be offset substantially by a reduction in the
valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, for the six months ended July 1, 2007, tax expense consisted primarily of taxes or tax benefits in certain foreign jurisdictions. However,
for the second quarter of 2007, income tax expense was impacted by a required income tax payment of approximately $1.6 million related to the sale of the our building in the Philippines, as well as a charge of $0.4 million related to a settlement
with the Internal Revenue Service related to an income tax examination for the 2004 tax year.

Our loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended July 1, 2007 of $44.5 million
compared to income of $12.1 million for the quarter ended July 2, 2006. The loss from continuing operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006 is primarily the result of lower revenues, and
increased manufacturing overhead costs and increased operating expenses due to the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition which

resulted in a lower gross margin and larger operating and net losses. Our net income of $12.6 million for the quarter ended July 2, 2006 reflects income
in the second quarter of 2006 from the Arkivator business, which is shown as a discontinued operation. The Arkivator business was sold in the third quarter of 2006.

Six Months ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006

Net Sales

Sales decreased by 13% to $349.3 million for the six months ended July 1, 2007, from $401.4 million, for the six months ended July 2, 2006. This
decrease was due to several factors, which included significant lower demand from our direct operator customers, which decreased by approximately $87 million or 51% for the six months ended July 1, 2007 from the six months ended July 2,
2006. This was somewhat offset by an increase in our business with our OEM customers, which increased by approximately $34.9 million or 15% for the six months ended July 1, 2007 compared to the six months ended July 2, 2006. The increase
in our OEM business was primarily due to the impact of our Filtronic Wireless Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Revenues in the Americas decreased in the first six months of fiscal 2007 as compared to the first
six months of fiscal 2006, primarily as a result of reduced demand by AT&T. The increase in revenues in the Asia region is largely attributable to an increase in European OEM business taking delivery of products in Asia for the Asian market, and
increased demand in parts of the Asian region. The reduction in European revenues relates to the shift in OEM deliveries to Asia mentioned above, and to a reduction in the European direct operator business.

For the six months ended July 1, 2007, total sales to Nokia Siemens accounted for approximately 36% of sales and sales to Alcatel-Lucent accounted
for approximately 15% of sales for the period. For the six months ended July 2, 2006, total sales to Nokia accounted for approximately 19% of sales and sales to Siemens accounted for approximately 12% of sales.

Our total gross profit decreased during the first six months of fiscal 2007 compared to the first
six months of fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of our decreased revenues and increased intangible amortization combined with restructuring and impairment charges incurred in the first six months of fiscal 2007. Our lower revenues contributed to
poor absorption of our manufacturing overheads and delayed previously anticipated material cost reductions due to the lower purchasing volume. The completion of the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2006 added significant
additional manufacturing overhead expenses which are not being absorbed by our lower revenues. Also contributing to the reduction in our gross margins was a significant reduction in direct operator sales, which typically have carried higher margins
than our OEM based sales. The increased intangible amortization costs are due to the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition. We incurred approximately $6.1 million of restructuring and impairment charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 related to
restructuring plans implemented in conjunction with our China manufacturing consolidation, the closure of our Costa Rica and Philippines manufacturing locations and our 2007 restructure activities (see Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, Restructuring and Impairment Charges.)

Operating Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $10.1 million, or 58%, during the six months ended
July 1, 2007 as compared to the six months ended July 2, 2006. The increase resulted primarily due to increased salaries associated with increased headcount added over the last year, as well as increased travel expenses, trade show
expenses, customer demonstration units and selling expenses.

Research and development expenses increased by $17.6 million, or 58%, during
the six months ended July 1, 2007 as compared to the six months ended July 2, 2006 primarily due to the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2006, which added approximately 210 personnel to our research and development
area as well as increased the number of active projects within which such work is undertaken generating increased material expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased $11.7 million, or 44%, during the six months ended July 1, 2007 as compared to the six months ended July 2, 2006. This increase was due to additional expenses associated with the
Filtronic Wireless Acquisition as well as increased professional fees associated with legal and accounting compliance activities.

##### Table of Contents

Amortization of customer-related intangibles from our acquisitions, amounted to $5.7 million for the
first six months of fiscal 2007, compared to $4.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006. The increase was due to amortization of the Filtronic Wireless intangibles acquired in October 2006. We also recorded restructuring and impairment
charges of $5.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007 for severance and facility closure costs related to our 2007 restructuring plan, 2006 Plan for Consolidation of Operations, compared to $0.2 million for the first six months of fiscal
2006 (see Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Restructuring and Impairment Charges.).

Interest income decreased by $3.8 million during the six months ended July 1, 2007 primarily
due to decreased cash balances following the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition in October 2006. As part of the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition, we paid $185 million in cash, along with 17.7 million shares of our common stock. This was offset by an
increase of $0.8 million of a net foreign currency gain during the six months ended July 1, 2007 primarily due to the weakness of the U.S dollar during the first six months of 2007.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective
tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2007 was an expense of approximately 2.1% of our pre-tax losses of $89.8 million. We have recorded a valuation allowance against a portion of our deferred tax assets pursuant to SFAS No. 109
due to the uncertainty as to the timing and ultimate realization of those assets. As such, for the foreseeable future, the tax provision or tax benefit related to future U.S. earnings or losses will be offset substantially by a reduction in the
valuation allowance. Accordingly, for the six months ended July 1, 2007, tax expense consisted primarily of taxes or tax benefits in certain foreign jurisdictions. However, for the second quarter of 2007, income tax expense was impacted by a
required income tax payment of approximately $1.6 million related to the sale of the our building in the Philippines, as well as a charge of $0.4 million related to a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service related to an income tax examination
for the 2004 tax year.

Our loss from continuing operations for the six months ended July 1, 2007 of $91.7 million
compared to income of $9.0 million for the six months ended July 2, 2006. The loss from continuing operations during the first six months of fiscal 2007 as compared to the income for the first six months of fiscal 2006 is primarily the result
of

lower revenues, and increased manufacturing overhead due to the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition which resulted in a lower gross margin and increased operating
expenses associated with the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition, all resulting in larger operating and net losses. Our net income of $10.3 million for the six months ended July 2, 2006 reflects income in the first six months of 2006 from the
Arkivator business, which is shown as a discontinued operation. The Arkivator business was sold in the third quarter of 2006.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

We have historically financed our operations through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided from operations, equipment
lease financings, available borrowings under bank lines of credit, private debt placements and both private and public equity offerings. Our principal sources of liquidity consist of existing cash balances, funds expected to be generated from future
operations and borrowings under bank lines of credit. As of July 1, 2007, we had working capital of $199.1 million, including $51.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as compared to working capital of $421.1 million at
July 2, 2006, which included $208.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. We currently invest our excess cash in short-term, investment-grade, money-market instruments with maturities of three months or less. We typically hold
such investments until maturity and then reinvest the proceeds in similar money market instruments. We believe that all of our cash investments would be readily available to us should the need arise.

Cash Flows

The following table
summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006:

Net cash used in operations during the six months ended July 1, 2007 was $8.4 million as
compared to a net use of cash of $35.0 million during the six months ended July 2, 2006. The increase in cash provided by operations during the first six months of fiscal 2007 is primarily due to lower inventory and lower accrued expenses
when compared to the first six months of 2006.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2007 was
$3.6 million as compared to the net cash provided by of $0.1 million during the first six months of fiscal 2006. The $14.2 million in net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended July 1, 2007 and $8.0 million during the
six months ended July 2, 2006 resulted from the issuance of our Common Stock under our employee stock option programs and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, plus proceeds from short-term debt of $12.8 million from our Revolving Trade Receivables
Purchase Agreement. The cash provided by investing activities in the first six months of 2006 was primarily related to $19.1 million in proceeds from the disposition of our Philippines operations offset by the $7.4 million spent for an acquisition
during the first six months of fiscal 2006. Total capital expenditures during the six months ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006 were approximately $6.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The majority of the capital spending during
both periods related to computer hardware and test equipment utilized in our manufacturing and research and development areas. We expect our capital spending requirements for the remainder of this year to range between $5 million and
$8 million, consisting of test and production equipment, as well as computer hardware and software.

We currently believe that our
existing cash balances, funds expected to be generated from operations and borrowings under our receivables facility will provide us with sufficient funds to finance our current operations for at least the next twelve months. Our principal source of
liquidity consists of our existing cash balances, funds expected to be generated from operations and our credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG, described below. We regularly review our cash funding requirements and attempt to meet those requirements
through a combination of cash on hand and cash provided by operations. Our ability to increase revenues and generate profits is subject to



28

##### Table of Contents

numerous risks and uncertainties, and any significant decrease in our revenues or profitability would reduce our operating cash flows and erode our existing
cash balances. No assurances can be given that we will be able to generate positive operating cash flows in the future or maintain and/or grow our existing cash balances.

We have a total of $330 million of convertible subordinate notes outstanding, of which $130 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible subordinated notes are due in July 2008. The notes are callable by us
beginning July 22, 2007 subject to certain terms and conditions. Our current intention is to repay these notes from a combination of our existing cash balances and cash generated from operations. No assurance can be given that we will be able
to generate positive operating cash flows in the future or maintain and/or grow our existing cash balances. If we do not generate sufficient cash from operations, we will be required to refinance the notes and no assurance can be given that we will
be able to refinance the notes on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we continue to generate losses from operations, we will likely encounter a more difficult environment in terms of raising additional financing. If we are not able to repay or
refinance the notes, our ability to maintain operations may be impacted.

Financing Activities

On October 13, 2006, we entered into a $75 million Credit Agreement with Bank of America N.A., as Documentation Agent and Comerica Bank as
Administrative Agent. In February 2007, the Credit Agreement was amended with an effective date of December 31, 2006, to adjust certain covenants. Prior to the Amendment, the Company received waivers from the banks waiving certain covenants
under the Credit Agreement, which required maintenance of certain financial measures. On April 24, 2007, we terminated the Amended Credit Agreement. As of the date of termination, the Company had not borrowed any amounts under the Amended
Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Amended Credit Agreement.

On April 24, 2007, Powerwave and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a Revolving Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent (the Receivables
Purchase Agreement). The Receivables Purchase Agreement provides for a receivables sales facility pursuant to which certain trade receivables are sold to a group of banks, which group initially consists of Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch.
The outstanding amount of trade receivables sold under the receivables facility may not exceed $65.0 million at any given time. Pursuant to the receivables sales facility, Powerwave and certain subsidiaries can sell eligible trade receivables on a
recourse basis to the bank group for a purchase price equal to 90% of the face amount thereof, and Powerwave acts as the servicer for such receivables. Powerwaves appointment as the servicer is subject to termination events that are customary
for such transactions. The receivables sales facility is also subject to conditions to funding, representations and warranties, undertakings and early termination events that are customary for transactions of this nature. The Receivables Purchase
Agreement is available for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On occasion, we have previously utilized both operating and
capital lease financing for certain equipment purchases used in our manufacturing and research and development operations and may selectively continue to do so in the future. We may require additional funds in the future to support our working
capital requirements or for other purposes such as acquisitions, and we may seek to raise such additional funds through the sale of public or private equity and/or debt financings, as well as from other sources. Our ability to secure additional
financing or sources of funding is dependent upon our financial performance, credit rating and the market price for our Common Stock, which are both directly impacted by our ability to grow revenues and generate profits. We can make no guarantees
that we will be able to obtain additional financing or secure new financing arrangements in the future. If our operating performance was to deteriorate and our cash balances were to be significantly reduced, we would likely encounter a more
difficult environment in terms of raising additional funding to support our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily of conventional operating leases, purchase commitments and other commitments arising in the normal
course of business, as further discussed below under Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments. As of July 1, 2007, we did not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as
entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

##### Table of Contents

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We incur various contractual obligations and commercial commitments in our normal course of business. Such obligations and commitments consist primarily
of the following:

Long-Term Debt

At July 1, 2007, we had $330.0 million of long-term debt, consisting of our outstanding 1.25% convertible subordinated notes due July 2008 and our 1.875% convertible subordinated notes due November 2024. These
notes are convertible into shares of our Common Stock at the option of the holder. See Note 10. Financing Arrangements and Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part II, Item 8,
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 for additional information.

Operating Lease Obligations

We have
various operating leases covering vehicles, equipment, facilities and sales offices located throughout the world.

Purchase Commitments
with Contract Manufacturers

We generally issue purchase orders to our contract manufacturers with delivery dates from four to six weeks
from the purchase order date. In addition, we regularly provide such contract manufacturers with rolling six-month forecasts of material and finished goods requirements for planning and long-lead time parts procurement purposes only. We are
committed to accept delivery of materials pursuant to our purchase orders subject to various contract provisions which allow us to delay receipt of such orders or cancel orders beyond certain agreed lead times. Such cancellations may or may not
result in cancellation costs payable by us. In the past, we have been required to take delivery of materials from our suppliers that were in excess of our requirements and we have previously recognized charges and expenses related to such excess
material. If we are unable to adequately manage our contract manufacturers and adjust such commitments for changes in demand, we may incur additional inventory expenses related to excess and obsolete inventory. Such expenses could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Other Commitments

We also incur various purchase obligations with other vendors and suppliers for the purchase of inventory, as well as other goods and services, in the
normal course of business. These obligations are generally evidenced by purchase orders with delivery dates from four to six weeks from the purchase order date, and in certain cases, supply agreements that contain the terms and conditions associated
with these purchase arrangements. We are committed to accept delivery of such materials pursuant to such purchase orders subject to various contract provisions which allow us to delay receipt of such orders or cancel orders beyond certain agreed
lead times. Such cancellations may or may not result in cancellation costs payable by us. In the past, we have been required to take delivery of materials from our suppliers that were in excess of our requirements and we have previously recognized
charges and expenses related to such excess material. If we are not able to adequately manage our supply chain and adjust such commitments for changes in demand, we may incur additional inventory expenses related to excess and obsolete inventory.
Such expenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Guarantees Under
Letters of Credit

We occasionally issue guarantees for certain contingent liabilities under various contractual arrangements, including
customer contracts, self-insured retentions under certain insurance policies, and governmental value-added tax compliance programs. These guarantees normally take the form of standby letters of credit issued by our bank that may be secured by cash
deposits or pledges, or performance bonds issued by an insurance company.

We have excluded the reserve for uncertain income tax positions of $1.3 million at July 1,
2007 as we cannot reasonably estimate when such liabilities will be settled.

We believe that our existing cash balances, funds expected to
be generated from future operations and available borrowings under bank credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy these contractual obligations and commercial commitments and that the ultimate payments associated with these commitments will
not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity position.

Disclosure About Stock Option Plans

Our stock option program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain talented employees and align stockholder and
employee interests. The program consists of six separate plans: one under which non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase shares of stock and five broad-based plans under which options may be granted to all employees, including
officers. One plan provides for both option grants and stock based awards including restricted stock awards. Options granted under these plans expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date and generally vest over two to four years.

During the six months ended July 1, 2007, we granted options to purchase a total of 363,000 shares of Common Stock and we granted 80,000 shares of
restricted stock to employees. After deducting 666,270 shares for options forfeited, the result was net forfeitures of 223,270. Net option forfeitures during the year represented 0.5% of our total outstanding common shares of 130,427,823 as of
July 1, 2007. The following table summarizes the net stock option grants to our employees, directors and executive officers during the three most recent fiscal periods:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our financial instruments include
cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, capital leases and long-term debt. At July 1, 2007, the carrying values of our financial instruments approximated their fair values based upon current market prices and rates.

We are exposed to a number of market risks in the ordinary course of business. These risks, which include foreign currency risk, interest
rate risk and commodity price risk, arise in the normal course of business rather than from trading. We have examined our exposures to these risks and have concluded that none of our exposures in these areas are material to fair values, cash flows
or earnings.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our international operations represent a substantial portion of our operating results and asset base. We maintain various operations in multiple foreign locations including Brazil, China, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary,
Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom. These international operations generally incur local operating costs and generate third party revenues in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Such foreign currency revenues and expenses expose us to
foreign currency risk and give rise to foreign exchange gains and losses.

We regularly pursue new customers in various international
locations where new deployments or upgrades to existing wireless communication networks are planned. As a result, a significant portion of our revenues are derived from international sources, with our international customers accounting for
approximately 74% of our net sales during the six months ended July 1, 2007, 72% of our fiscal 2006 net sales, 64% of our fiscal 2005 net sales and 71% of our fiscal 2004 net sales. Such international sources include Europe, Asia and South
America, where there has been historical volatility in several of the regions currencies. Changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar versus the local currency in which our products are sold exposes us to foreign currency risk since the
weakening of an international customers local currency and banking market may negatively impact such customers ability to meet their payment obligations to us. In addition, certain of our international customers require that we transact
business with them in their own local currency, regardless of the location of our operations, which also exposes us to foreign currency risk. As we sell products or services in foreign currencies, we may be required to convert the payments received
into U.S. Dollars or utilize such foreign currencies as payments for expenses of our business, which may give rise to foreign exchange gains and losses. Given the uncertainty as to when and what specific foreign currencies we may be required or
decide to accept as payment from our international customers, we cannot predict the ultimate impact that such a decision would have on our business, gross margins and results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

While we monitor our foreign currency exposures, we do not currently maintain an active foreign currency
hedging program. We may decide in the future to implement an active hedging program utilizing derivative instruments to assist in managing our foreign exchange rate risk. Based on our overall foreign exchange rate exposure at July 1, 2007, a
10% change in the Euro and the Swedish Krona could have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk

As of July 1, 2007, we had cash equivalents of approximately $59.4 million in both interest and non-interest bearing accounts,
including restricted cash. We also had $130.0 million of convertible subordinated notes due July 2008 at a fixed annual interest rate of 1.25%, $200.0 million of convertible subordinated notes due November 2024 at a fixed annual interest rate of
1.875%, and $0.3 million capital lease obligations with various maturities at fixed interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through our convertible subordinated debt and our cash investment portfolio. While short-term
investment rates have increased significantly during the last year, we believe that we are not subject to material fluctuations in principal of our cash portfolio given the short-term maturities and high-grade investment quality of our investment
portfolio, and the fact that the effective interest rate of our portfolio tracks closely to various short-term money market interest rate benchmarks. Therefore, we currently do not use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risk. In
terms of our debt, our convertible subordinate notes carry fixed interest rates while our Revolving Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement utilizes variable rates. The refinancing of our notes will likely increase our interest costs as interest rates
have increased in the last year. Based on our overall interest rate exposure at July 1, 2007, we do not believe that a 100 basis point change in interest rates would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

Commodity Price Risk

Our internal manufacturing operations and contract manufacturers require significant quantities of transistors, semiconductors and various metals for use in the manufacture of our products. Therefore, we are exposed to certain commodity
price risk associated with variations in the market prices for these electronic components as these prices directly impact the cost to manufacture products and the price we pay our contract manufacturers to manufacture our products. We attempt to
manage this risk by entering into supply agreements with our contract manufacturers and various suppliers of these components. These supply agreements are not long-term supply agreements. If we or our contract manufacturers become subject to a
significant increase in the price of one of these components, we would likely be forced to pay such higher prices and we may be unable to pass such costs onto our customers. In addition, certain transistors and semiconductors are regularly revised
or changed by their manufacturers, which may result in a requirement for us to redesign a product that utilizes such components or cease to produce such products. In such events, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be
adversely affected. Additionally, we require specialized electronic test equipment, which is utilized in both the design and manufacture of our products. Such electronic test equipment is available from limited sources and may not be available in
the time periods required for us to meet our customers demand. If required, we may be forced to pay higher prices for such equipment and/or we may not be able to obtain the equipment in the time periods required, which would then delay our
development or production of new products. Such delays and any potential additional costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Powerwave and its consolidated subsidiaries is made
known to the officers who certify the Companys financial reports, as well as other members of senior management and the Board of Directors, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the period covered by this
report, Powerwave carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information related to the Company that is required to be included in Powerwaves annual and periodic SEC filings.

##### Table of Contents

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that
our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Powerwave have been detected.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting during the first six months of fiscal 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the first quarter of 2007, four purported shareholder class action
complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, its President and Chief Executive Officer, its Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and its Chief Financial Officer. The
complaints are Jerry Crafton v. Powerwave Technologies, Inc., et. al., Kenneth Kwan v. Powerwave Technologies, Inc., et. al., Achille Tedesco v. Powerwave Technologies, Inc., et. al. and Farokh Etemadieh v. Powerwave
Technologies, Inc. et. al. and were brought under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaints purport to state claims on behalf of all persons who purchased Powerwave securities
between May 2, 2005 and October 9, 2006 and seek compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial. The essence of the allegations are that the defendants made misleading statements or omissions concerning the Companys
projected and actual sales revenues, the integration of certain acquisitions and the sufficiency of the Companys internal controls. In June 2007, the four cases were consolidated into one case, a lead plaintiff was appointed, and the lead
plaintiffs selection of lead counsel was approved by the court. Lead plaintiff is expected to file a consolidated and amended complaint on or before October 12, 2007. The Company believes that the purported consolidated shareholder class
action is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously.

In March 2007, an additional lawsuit that relates to the pending shareholder
10b-5 action was filed. The lawsuit, Cucci v. Edwards, et al., filed in the Superior Court of California, is a shareholder derivative action, purported to be brought by an individual shareholder on behalf of Powerwave, against current
and former directors of Powerwave. Powerwave is also named as a nominal defendant. The allegations of the derivative complaint closely resemble those in the class action and pertain to the same time period, May 2, 2005 through October 9,
2006. Based on those allegations, the derivative complaint asserts various claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, mismanagement, and insider trading under state law. The derivative complaint has been removed to the federal
court and is pending before the same judge as the pending shareholder 10b-5 action. Powerwave disputes the allegations raised in the derivative action and plans to pursue a vigorous defense of this matter.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We rely upon a few customers for the majority of our revenues and the loss of
any one of these customers, or a significant loss, reduction or rescheduling of orders from any of these customers, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We sell most of our products to a small number of customers, and we expect this will continue. For the six months ended July 1, 2007, sales to Nokia
Siemens accounted for approximately 36% of net sales and sales to Alcatel-Lucent accounted for approximately 15% of our net sales. Nokia and Siemens, who combined their wireless business effective April 1, 2007, accounted for approximately 34%
of our revenues in 2006. For fiscal year 2005, Cingular Wireless (now known as AT&T), accounted for approximately 16% of our net sales and Nokia accounted



35



---

##### Table of Contents

for approximately 14% of our net sales. During fiscal year 2006 and 2007, our direct sales to AT&T significantly declined compared to 2005 and such
decline contributed to our operating loss and reduced financial performance for fiscal 2006. During the fourth quarter of 2006, Nokia and Siemens significantly reduced their demand, which also contributed to our operating loss for 2006 and the first
six months of 2007. The new Nokia Siemens is our largest customer and any decline in this business will have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. Our future success is dependent upon the continued purchases of our products by
a small number of customers such as Nokia Siemens, Alcatel-Lucent, AT&T, and network operator customers and any fluctuations in demand from such customers or other customers would negatively impact our results of operations. If we are unable to
broaden our customer base and expand relationships with major wireless original equipment manufacturers and major operators of wireless networks, our business will continue to be impacted by unanticipated demand fluctuations due to our dependence on
a small number of customers. Unanticipated demand fluctuations can have a negative impact on our revenues and business, and an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, our dependence on a small number of
major customers exposes us to numerous other risks, including:



| |  |  | a slowdown or delay in deployment of wireless networks by any one customer could significantly reduce demand for our products;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reductions in a single customers forecasts and demand could result in excess inventories;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | consolidation of customers can reduce demand as well as increase pricing pressure on our products due to increased purchasing leverage;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | each of our customers has significant purchasing leverage over us to require changes in sales terms including pricing, payment terms and product delivery schedules;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | direct competition should a customer decide to increase its level of internal designing and/or manufacturing of wireless communication network products; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | concentration of accounts receivable credit risk, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition if one of our major customers
declared bankruptcy or delayed payment of their receivables.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may incur unanticipated costs as we complete the
integration of our business with businesses we recently acquired.

On May 3, 2004, we completed the exchange offer for the
outstanding shares of LGP Allgon Holding AB. On September 2, 2005, we completed the REMEC Wireless Acquisition and on October 15, 2006, we completed the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition. All of these acquisitions involve the integration of
companies and operations, many of which are based in different countries that previously operated independently. This is a complex, costly and time consuming process. We have limited experience integrating operations as substantial and
geographically diverse as those of LGP Allgon, REMEC Wireless and Filtronic Wireless, and as a result, we may not successfully integrate these operations with our own in a timely manner, or at all. We have previously encountered difficulties and
delays in integrating and consolidating operations which have had a negative impact on our results of operations. The failure to successfully integrate these operations could undermine the anticipated benefits and synergies of the acquisitions,
which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The anticipated benefits and synergies of these acquisitions relate to cost savings associated with operational efficiencies, greater economies of scale and
revenue enhancement opportunities. However, these anticipated benefits and synergies are based on projections and assumptions, not actual experience, and assume a smooth and successful integration of these businesses.

In addition, the recent acquisition of Filtronics Wireless Systems business is one of the largest acquisitions we have undertaken and the complex
process of integrating this business requires significant resources. We have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs and commit significant management time in integrating this operation, information, communications and other systems
and personnel, among other items. The integration of this business has resulted and will continue to result in cash outflows related to the integration process, such as:



| |  |  | additional restructuring costs, including the closure of facilities and personnel severance costs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fees and expenses of professionals and consultants involved in completing the integration process;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | settling existing liabilities of the acquired businesses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrating and converting technology and manufacturing systems as well as bills of material; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrating personnel.

We may need additional capital in the future and such additional financing may not be available at
favorable terms.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Filtronics Wireless Infrastructure business, we paid $185 million to
Filtronic, significantly reducing our cash balance. In April 2007, we entered into a revolving trade receivables purchase agreement which provides a sales facility for our trade receivables, up to a maximum of $65.0 million. While this agreement
gives us an additional source of liquidity, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings in order to fund current operations, to take advantage of opportunities, including more rapid international
expansion or acquisitions of complementary businesses or technologies. If we are not successful in integrating our businesses and managing the worldwide aspects of our company, our operations may not generate profits and may consume our cash
resources faster than we anticipate. Such losses would make it difficult to obtain new sources of financing. In addition, if we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, we may need to raise additional funds to repay our $330.0 million
of outstanding convertible debt that we issued in 2003 and 2004, of which $130.0 million is due in July 2008. Our ability to secure additional financing or sources of funding is dependent upon numerous factors, including the current outlook of our
business, our credit rating and the market price of our common stock, all of which are directly impacted by our ability to increase revenues and generate profits. Our ability to increase revenues and generate profits is subject to numerous risks and
uncertainties and any significant decrease in our revenues or profitability could reduce our operating cash flows and erode our existing cash balances. Our ability to secure additional financing is also dependent upon the credit markets, which have
recently come under pressure due to credit concerns arising from the subprime mortgage lending market. If we are unable to secure additional financing or such financing is not available at acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of
such opportunities, otherwise respond to unanticipated competitive pressures, or repay our convertible debt.

We have begun the process
of implementing a new worldwide enterprise resource planning system and if we are unsuccessful in deploying the system or, if it takes longer than anticipated to deploy the system, we may incur significant additional costs which would negatively
impact our financial results as well as potentially weaken our systemic internal controls.

At the end of 2004, we made the decision to
replace our existing enterprise resource planning systems with a single global system from Oracle. We have begun the implementation phase and have converted the majority of the existing Powerwave operations to the Oracle system. With the Filtronic
Wireless Acquisition, we are now planning the conversion of the Filtronic systems and intend to convert the Filtronic enterprise resource planning systems during fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 to the Oracle platform. System conversions are expensive
and time consuming undertakings that impact all areas of the Company. While a successful implementation will provide many benefits to the Company, an unsuccessful or delayed implementation will cost the Company significant time and resources, as
well as expense. During the third quarter of 2006, we encountered delays in our conversion of our European operations. These delays coupled with production transfer issues, resulted in delayed production and less revenues which negatively impacted
our results in the same quarter. While we have implemented our plans to finish the conversion process, these delays did have a negative impact on our operating costs. In addition, due to the systemic internal control features within enterprise
resource planning systems, any changes in our enterprise resource planning system will have an impact on the testing of our internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we encounter
unanticipated delays in deploying our new enterprise resource planning system, we may be unable to complete within the currently required time period our Section 404 testing of the systemic internal controls within such system, which could
create a material weakness or significant deficiency in our overall internal controls as of the end of a fiscal year.

We have
previously experienced significant reductions in demand for our products by certain customers and if this continues, our operating results will be adversely impacted.

We have a history of significant unanticipated reductions in demand that demonstrates the risks related to our customer and industry concentration levels. While our revenues have increased at times during fiscal years
2005 and 2006, a significant portion of this increase was due to our acquisitions of LGP Allgon and REMEC Wireless. During fiscal 2006, we experienced significantly reduced demand for our products due to lower than anticipated purchasing plans by a
major North American wireless network operator. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2006, when we acquired Filtronic Wireless, Nokia and Siemens significantly reduced their demand which had a significant negative impact on both Powerwave and the
Filtronic Wireless businesses. As a result of this reduction and general slowness

##### Table of Contents

in the wireless infrastructure marketplace during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, our revenues decreased to $169.8 million in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2006 from $258.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. This slowdown continued in the first six months of 2007, when our revenues declined from the fourth quarter of 2006 and when compared to the first six months of 2006, even though the
first six months of 2007 included the Filtronic Wireless acquisition. These types of reductions in overall market demand had a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

During fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007, we also experienced a significant reduction in demand from Nortel. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to
continue to generate new demand to offset reductions from existing customers. If we are unable to continue to generate new demand, our revenues will go down and our results of operations will be negatively impacted.

Also, in the past we have experienced significant unanticipated reductions in wireless network operator demand as well as significant delays in demand
for 3G, or next generation service based products due to the high projected capital cost of building such networks and market concerns regarding the inoperability of such network protocols. In combination with these market issues, a majority of
wireless network operators have, in the past, regularly reduced their capital spending plans in order to improve their overall cash flow. The continuation of any delays in development of 3G networks will result in reduced demand for our products
which will have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have experienced, and will continue to experience, significant
fluctuations in sales and operating results from quarter to quarter.

Our quarterly results fluctuate due to a number of factors,
including:



| |  |  | the lack of any obligation by our customers to purchase their forecasted demand for our products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cost associated with restructuring activities, including severance, inventory obsolescence and facility closure costs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | variations in the timing, cancellation, or rescheduling of customer orders and shipments;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cost associated with consolidating acquisitions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | high fixed expenses that increase operating expenses, especially during a quarter with a sales shortfall;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product failures and associated warranty and in-field service support costs; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | discounts given to certain customers for large volume purchases.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

We have regularly generated a large percentage of our revenues in the last month of a quarter. Since we attempt to ship products quickly after we receive orders, we may not always have a significant backlog of
unfilled orders at the start of each quarter and we may be required to book a substantial portion of our orders during the quarter in which such orders ship. Our major customers generally have no obligation to purchase forecasted amounts and may
cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice and without penalty. As a result, we may not be able to accurately predict our quarterly sales. Because our expense levels are partially based on our
expectations of future sales, our expenses may be disproportionately large relative to our revenues, and we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Any shortfall in sales relative to
our quarterly expectations or any delay of customer orders would adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

Order deferrals
and cancellations by our customers, declining average sales prices, changes in the mix of products sold, delays in the introduction of new products and longer than anticipated sales cycles for our products have, in the past, adversely affected our
results of operations. Despite these factors, we, along with our contract manufacturers, maintain significant finished goods, work-in-progress and raw materials inventory to meet estimated order forecasts. If our customers purchase less than their
forecasted orders or cancel or delay existing purchase orders, there will be higher levels of inventory that face a greater risk of obsolescence. If our customers desire to purchase products in excess of the forecasted amounts or in a different
product mix, there may not be enough inventory or manufacturing capacity to fill their orders.

Due to these and other factors, our past
results are not reliable indicators of our future performance. Future revenues and operating results may not meet the expectations of public market analysts or investors. In either case, the price of our Common Stock could be materially adversely
affected.

Our average sales prices have declined, and we anticipate that the average sales prices for our
products will continue to decline and negatively impact our gross profit margins.

Wireless service providers are continuing to place
pricing pressure on wireless infrastructure manufacturers, which in turn, has resulted in lower selling prices for our products, with certain competitors aggressively reducing prices in an effort to increase their market share. In addition, the
consolidation of original equipment manufacturers such as Alcatel/Lucent and Nokia/Siemens is concentrating their purchasing power at the surviving entities, which is placing further pricing pressures on the products we sell to such customers. We
may be forced to further reduce our prices to such customers, which would have a negative impact on our business and results of operations. We believe that the average sales prices of our products will continue to decline for the foreseeable future.
The average sales price for our products declined by between 2% to 12% from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006. Since wireless infrastructure manufacturers frequently negotiate supply arrangements far in advance of delivery dates, we must often commit to
price reductions for our products before we know how, or if, we can obtain such cost reductions. With ongoing consolidation in our industry, the increased size of many of our customers allows them to exert greater pressure on us to reduce prices. In
addition, average sales prices are affected by price discounts negotiated without firm orders for large volume purchases by certain customers. To offset declining average sales prices, we must reduce manufacturing costs and ultimately develop new
products with lower costs or higher average sales prices. If we cannot achieve such cost reductions or increases in average selling prices, our gross margins will decline.

Our suppliers, contract manufacturers or customers could become competitors.

Many of our customers internally design and/or manufacture their own wireless communications network products. These customers also continuously evaluate
whether to manufacture their own wireless communications network products or utilize contract manufacturers to produce their own internal designs. Certain of our customers regularly produce or design wireless communications network products in an
attempt to replace products manufactured by us. We believe that this practice will continue. In the event that our customers manufacture or design their own wireless communications network products, such customers could reduce or eliminate their
purchases of our products, which would result in reduced revenues and would adversely impact our results of operations and liquidity. Wireless infrastructure equipment manufacturers with internal manufacturing capabilities, including many of our
customers, could also sell wireless communications network products externally to other manufacturers, thereby competing directly with us. In addition, our suppliers or contract manufacturers may decide to produce competing products directly for our
customers and, effectively, compete against us. If, for any reason, our customers produce their wireless communications network products internally, increase the percentage of their internal production, require us to participate in joint venture
manufacturing with them, engage our suppliers or contract manufacturers to manufacture competing products, or otherwise compete directly against us, our revenues would decrease, which would adversely impact our results of operations.

Our success is tied to the growth of the wireless services communications market and our future
revenue growth is dependent upon the expected increase in the size of this market.

Our revenues come from the sale of wireless
communications network products and coverage solutions. Our future success depends solely upon the growth and increased availability of wireless communications services. Wireless communications services may not grow at a rate fast enough to create
demand for our products, as we experienced during fiscal 2003 and again in fiscal 2006. During fiscal 2006 and into fiscal 2007, a major North American wireless network operator significantly reduced demand for new products. In addition, during the
same period, several major equipment manufacturers began a process of consolidating their operations, which significantly reduced their demand for products. During fiscal 2003, wireless network operators reduced or delayed capital spending on
wireless networks in order to preserve their operating cash and improve their balance sheets. Such reduced spending on wireless networks had a negative impact on our operating results. If wireless network operators delay or reduce levels of capital
spending, our operating results will be negatively impacted.

Our reliance on contract manufacturers exposes us to risks of excess
inventory or inventory carrying costs.

If our contract manufacturers are unable to timely respond to changes in customer demand, we
may be unable to produce enough products to respond to sudden increases in demand resulting in lost revenues, or alternatively, in the case of order cancellations or decreases in demand, we may be liable for excess or obsolete inventory or
cancellation charges resulting from contractual purchase commitments that we have with our contract manufacturers. We regularly provide rolling forecasts of our requirements to our contract manufacturers for planning purposes, pursuant to our
agreements, a portion of which is binding upon us. Additionally, we are committed to accept delivery on the forecasted terms for a portion of the rolling forecast. Cancellations of orders or changes to the forecasts provided to any of our contract
manufacturers may result in cancellation costs payable by us. In the past, we have been required to take delivery of materials from other suppliers and subcontractors that were in excess of our requirements and we have previously recognized charges
and expenses related to such excess material. We expect that we will incur such costs in the future.

By using contract manufacturers, our
ability to directly control the use of all inventory is reduced since we do not have full operating control over their operations. If we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our contract manufacturers and manage the costs associated with our
contract manufacturers, we may be required to pay inventory carrying costs or purchase excess inventory. If we or our contract manufacturers are unable to utilize such excess inventory in a timely manner, and are unable to sell excess components or
products due to their customized nature, our operating results and liquidity would be negatively impacted.

Our acquisition of
Filtronics Wireless Infrastructure Division business, as well as future acquisitions, or strategic alliances, may present risks, and we may be unable to achieve the financial and strategic goals intended at the time of any acquisition or
strategic alliance.

On October 15, 2006, we completed the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition. In the past, we have acquired and made
investments in other companies, products and technologies and entered into strategic alliances with other companies. We continually evaluate these types of opportunities. In addition to the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition, we may acquire or invest in
other companies, products or technologies, or we may enter into joint ventures, mergers or strategic alliances with other companies. Such transactions subject us to numerous risks, including the following:



| |  |  | difficulty integrating the operations, technology and personnel of the acquired company;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inability to achieve the anticipated financial and strategic benefits of the specific acquisition or strategic alliance;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant additional warranty costs due to product failures and or design differences that were not identified during due diligence, and such costs could result
in charges to earnings if they are not recoverable from the seller;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel from the acquired company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration process;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | diversion of our managements attention from other business concerns;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure of our due diligence process to identify significant issues, including issues with respect to product quality, product architecture, legal and financial
contingencies, and product development; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant exit charges if products acquired in business combinations are unsuccessful.

If we are unable to effectively manage these risks as part of any acquisition or joint venture, our
business would be adversely affected.

We depend on single sources or limited sources for key components and products, which exposes us
to risks related to product shortages or delays, as well as potential product quality issues, all of which could increase the cost of our products thereby reducing our operating profits.

A number of our products and the parts used in our products are available from only one or a limited number of outside suppliers due to unique component
designs, as well as certain quality and performance requirements. To take advantage of volume pricing discounts, we also purchase certain products, and along with our contract manufacturers, purchase certain customized components from single or
limited sources. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, shortages of single-source and limited-source components. Shortages have compelled us to adjust our product designs and production schedules and have caused us to miss
customer requested delivery dates. To date, the missed customer delivery dates have not had a material adverse impact on our financial results. If single-source or limited-source components become unavailable in sufficient quantities in the desired
time periods, are discontinued or are available only on unsatisfactory terms, we would be required to purchase comparable components from other sources and may be required to redesign our products to use such components which could delay production
and delivery of our products. If production and delivery of our products are delayed such that we do not meet the agreed upon delivery dates of our customers, such delays could result in lost revenues due to customer cancellations, as well as
potential financial penalties payable to our customers. Any such loss of revenue or financial penalties could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

As part of the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition, we are purchasing certain components from Filtronic plc for use in certain products included in the acquisition. Filtronic plc is a sole source of these components. If we
were unable to obtain such components, we would have to redesign certain products and find an alternative source of supply, which would likely increase our costs and have a negative impact on our business and results of operations. We may also be
subject to penalties if we could not find a timely replacement if we were unable to meet customer delivery requirements.

Our reliance on
certain single-source and limited-source components and products also exposes us and our contract manufacturers to quality control risks if these suppliers experience a failure in their production process or otherwise fail to meet our quality
requirements. A failure in a single-source or limited-source component or product could force us to repair or replace a product utilizing replacement components. If we cannot obtain comparable replacements or redesign our products, we could lose
customer orders or incur additional costs, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may fail to
develop products that are sufficiently manufacturable, which could negatively impact our ability to sell our products.

Manufacturing
our products is a complex process that requires significant time and expertise to meet customers specifications. Successful manufacturing is substantially dependent upon the ability to assemble and tune these products to meet specifications in
an efficient manner. In this regard, we largely depend on our staff of assembly workers and trained technicians at our internal manufacturing operations in the U.S., Europe and Asia, as well as our contract manufacturers staff of assembly
workers and trained technicians predominantly located in Asia. If we cannot design our products to minimize the manual assembly and tuning process, or if we or our contract manufacturers lose a number of trained assembly workers and technicians or
are unable to attract additional trained assembly workers or technicians, we may be unable to have our products manufactured in a cost effective manner.

We sold our Philippines manufacturing facility to Celestica. If we do not maintain certain volumes of production with Celestica, we could be adversely affected.

On March 10, 2006, we sold our manufacturing facility in the Philippines to Celestica. As part of this sale, we have committed to buy products from
Celestica manufactured in the Philippines facility. Due to the reduced revenues during 2006, we did not reach the revenue levels agreed to with Celestica. During the second quarter of 2007, we accrued $3.1 million related to a proposed settlement
related to our contractual commitment. If we do not maintain certain production levels with Celestica, we could be adversely impacted and required to pay certain penalties for failing to reach certain production volumes. Such failure could have a
negative impact on our operating results.

We may fail to develop products that are of adequate quality and reliability, which could negatively
impact our ability to sell our products.

We have had quality problems with our products in the past and may have similar problems in
the future. We have replaced components in some products and replaced entire products in accordance with our product warranties. We believe that our customers will demand that our products meet increasingly stringent performance and reliability
standards. If we cannot keep pace with technological developments, evolving industry standards and new communications protocols, if we fail to adequately improve product quality and meet the quality standards of our customers, or if our contract
manufacturers fail to achieve the quality standards of our customers, we risk losing business which would negatively impact our results of operations. Design problems could also damage relationships with existing and prospective customers and could
limit our ability to market our products to large wireless infrastructure manufacturers, many of which build their own products and have stringent quality control standards.

If we are unable to hire and retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel, we may not be able to sustain or grow our business.

Competition for personnel, particularly qualified engineers, is intense. The loss of a significant number of such persons, as well as
the failure to recruit and train additional technical personnel in a timely manner, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The departure of any of our management and technical personnel,
the breach of their confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations to Powerwave or the failure to achieve our intellectual property objectives may also have a material adverse effect on our business.

We believe that our success depends upon the knowledge and experience of our management and technical personnel and our ability to market our existing
products and to develop new products. Our employees are generally employed on an at-will basis and do not have non-compete agreements. Therefore, we have had, and may continue to have, employees leave us and go to work for competitors.

There are significant risks related to our internal and contract manufacturing operations in Asia.

As part of our manufacturing strategy, we utilize contract manufacturers in China, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. We also maintain our own
manufacturing operations in China, Hungary, Finland and Estonia, as well as limited capability in the United States. We closed our Costa Rica manufacturing facility in December 2006.

The Chinese legal system lacks transparency, which gives the Chinese central and local government authorities a higher degree of control over our
business in China than is customary in the United States and makes the process of obtaining necessary regulatory approval in China inherently unpredictable. In addition, the protection accorded our proprietary technology and know-how under the
Chinese and Thai legal systems is not as strong as in the United States and, as a result, we may lose valuable trade secrets and competitive advantage. Also, manufacturing our products and utilizing contract manufacturers, as well as other suppliers
throughout the Asia region, exposes our business to the risk that our proprietary technology and ownership rights may not be protected or enforced to the extent that they may be in the United States.

Although the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform and a policy of welcoming foreign investments during the past two decades, it is
possible that the Chinese government will change its current policies in the future, making continued business operations in China difficult or unprofitable.

In February 2006, the Philippines experienced a failed coup to overturn the existing government, which prompted the government to declare a state of emergency. While the state of emergency was eventually lifted, this
highlights some of the political risks of relying upon manufacturing operations in this location. In September 2006, Thailand experienced a military coup which overturned the existing government. We are not able to currently estimate what the
long-term impact of this coup will have on our operations in Thailand. If there were to be future coups or some other type of political unrest, such activity may impact the ability to manufacture products in this region and may prevent shipments
from entering or leaving the country. Any such disruptions could have a material negative impact on our operations and financial results.

We require air or ocean transport to ship products built in our various manufacturing locations to our
customers. High energy costs have increased our transportation cost which has had a negative impact on our production costs. Transportation costs would escalate if there were a shortage of air or ocean cargo space and any significant increase in
transportation costs would cause an increase in our expenses and negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, if we are unable to obtain cargo space or secure delivery of components or products due to labor strikes, lockouts, work
slowdowns or work stoppages by longshoremen, dock workers, airline pilots or other transportation industry workers, our delivery of products could be adversely delayed.

The initial sales cycle associated with our products is typically lengthy, often lasting from nine to eighteen months, which could cause delays in forecasted sales and cause us to incur substantial expenses before
we record any associated revenues.

Our customers normally conduct significant technical evaluations, trials and qualifications of our
products before making purchase commitments. This qualification process involves a significant investment of time and resources from both our customers and us in order to ensure that our product designs are fully qualified to perform as required.
The qualification and evaluation process, as well as customer field trials, may take longer than initially forecasted, thereby delaying the shipment of sales forecasted for a specific customer for a particular quarter and causing our operating
results for the quarter to be less than originally forecasted. Such a sales shortfall would reduce our profitability and negatively impact our results of operations.

We conduct a significant portion of our business internationally, which exposes us to increased business risks.

For the six months ended July 1, 2007, and fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, international revenues (excluding North American sales) accounted for approximately 72%, 72%, 64%, and 71% of our net sales,
respectively. There are many risks that currently impact, and will continue to impact our international business and multinational operations, including the following:



| |  |  | compliance with multiple and potentially conflicting regulations in Europe, Asia and North and South America, including export requirements, tariffs, import duties
and other trade barriers, as well as health and safety requirements;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential labor strikes, lockouts, work slowdowns and work stoppages at U.S. and international ports;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | differences in intellectual property protections throughout the world;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations in Europe, Asia and South America, including dealings with unionized labor pools in Europe and in Asia;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer accounts receivable collection cycles in Europe, Asia and South America;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | currency fluctuations and resulting losses on currency translations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | terrorists attacks on American companies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | economic instability, including inflation and interest rate fluctuations, such as those previously seen in South Korea and Brazil;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competition for foreign based suppliers throughout the world;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | overlapping or differing tax structures;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | the complexity of global tax and transfer pricing rules and regulations and our potential inability to benefit/offset losses in one tax jurisdiction with income
from another;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cultural and language differences between the United States and the rest of the world; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political or civil turmoil.
| | - |  | ---------------------------

Any
failure on our part to manage these risks effectively would seriously reduce our competitiveness in the wireless infrastructure marketplace.

Protection of our intellectual property is limited.

We rely upon trade secrets and patents to protect our intellectual
property. We execute confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with certain employees and our suppliers, as well as limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. We have an ongoing program to identify and file applications for
U.S. and other international patents.

##### Table of Contents

The departure of any of our management and technical personnel, the breach of their confidentiality and
non-disclosure obligations to us, or the failure to achieve our intellectual property objectives could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We do not have non-compete agreements with our
employees who are generally employed on an at-will basis. Therefore, we have had, and may continue to have, employees leave us and go to work for competitors. If we are not successful in prohibiting the unauthorized use of our proprietary technology
or the use of our processes by a competitor, our competitive advantage may be significantly reduced which would result in reduced revenues.

We are at risk of third-party claims of infringement that could harm our competitive position.

We have received
third-party claims of infringement in the past and have been able to resolve such claims without having a material impact on our business. As the number of patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights in our industry increases, and as
the coverage of these rights and the functionality of the products in the market further overlap, we believe that we may face additional infringement claims. Such claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our
resources. A third party claiming infringement may also obtain an injunction or other equitable relief, which could effectively block the distribution or sale of allegedly infringing products, which would adversely affect our customer relationships
and negatively impact our revenues.

The communications industry is heavily regulated. We must obtain regulatory approvals to manufacture
and sell our products, and our customers must obtain approvals to operate our products. Any failure or delay by us or any of our customers to obtain such approvals could negatively impact our ability to sell our products.

Various governmental agencies have adopted regulations that impose stringent radio frequency emissions standards on the communications industry. Future
regulations may require that we alter the manner in which radio signals are transmitted or otherwise alter the equipment transmitting such signals. The enactment by governments of new laws or regulations or a change in the interpretation of existing
regulations could negatively impact the market for our products.

The increasing demand for wireless communications has exerted pressure on
regulatory bodies worldwide to adopt new standards for such products, generally following extensive investigation and deliberation over competing technologies. The delays inherent in this type of governmental approval process have caused, and may
continue to cause, the cancellation, postponement or rescheduling of the installation of communications systems by our customers. These types of unanticipated delays would result in delayed or cancelled customer orders.

The price of our Common Stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile and our shareholders may not be able to resell shares of our Common Stock at
or above the price paid for such shares.

The price for shares of our Common Stock has exhibited high levels of volatility with
significant volume and price fluctuations, which makes our Common Stock unsuitable for many investors. For example, for the two years ended December 31, 2006, the price of our Common Stock ranged from a high of $15.76 to a low of $5.87. The
fluctuations in the price of our Common Stock have occasionally been unrelated to our operating performance. These broad fluctuations may negatively impact the market price of shares of our Common Stock. The price of our Common Stock has also been
influenced by:



| |  |  | fluctuations in our results of operations or the operations of our competitors or customers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure of our results of operations and sales revenues to meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reductions in wireless infrastructure demand or expectations of future wireless infrastructure demand by our customers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays or postponement of wireless infrastructure deployments, including new 3G deployments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding us, our competitors or our customers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and announcements of technological innovations, new products or financial results by us or our competitors;

| |  |  | lawsuits attempting to allege misconduct by the Company and its officers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the wireless industry.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------

In addition, the increase in the number of shares of our outstanding Common Stock due to the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition added 17.7 million shares in addition to the potential conversion of our outstanding convertible debt
instruments would add approximately 30.4 million shares of Common Stock to our outstanding shares. Such an increase may lead to sales of such shares or the perception that such sales may occur, either of which may adversely affect the market
for, and the market price of, our Common Stock. Any potential future sale or issuance of shares of our Common Stock or instruments convertible or exchangeable into shares of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales or transactions could
occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

Based on the above, we expect that our stock price will continue to be
extremely volatile. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our investors will be able to resell their Powerwave shares at or above their acquisition price.

We may need to recognize an impairment in our goodwill

If our revenues do not grow or reach
anticipated levels or if our common stock continues to trade at current low levels, it is possible that in the near future an indicator of impairment of our goodwill may exist and we may need to recognize an impairment in our goodwill. A large
portion of the value of the Company is dependent upon continued future growth in demand for our products. If such growth does not materialize or our forecasts and internal expectations are significantly reduced, we will likely have to recognize an
impairment in the value of our goodwill. At July 1, 2007, goodwill totaled $491.9 million, which equates to approximately 87% of our total equity. Such an impairment could result in a significant loss for the period in which such impairment
occurs. In addition, our acquisition of Filtronics Wireless Infrastructure Division business has an initial accounting value of $353.2 million, which includes approximately $186 million of goodwill identified in the preliminary allocation of
the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired. The accounting value, which reflects a purchase price that includes $185 million in cash and 17.7 million shares of our Common Stock valued at an average price of $9.22 per share
based on the average closing price for three days before and after our announcement of the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition in June 2006. Since that date our stock has declined significantly. On October 13, 2006, the last trading day prior to the
close of the Filtronic Wireless Acquisition, our stock closed at $6.28 per share. On June 29, 2007, our stock closed at $6.70 per share.

The wireless communications infrastructure equipment industry is extremely competitive and is
characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development, rapid product obsolescence, evolving industry standards and significant price erosion over the life of a product. If we are unable to compete effectively, our business,
results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Our products compete on the basis of the following
characteristics:



| |  |  | performance;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | functionality;
| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | reliability;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | pricing;
| | - |  | --------



| |  |  | quality;
| | - |  | --------



| |  |  | designs that can be efficiently manufactured in large volumes;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | time-to-market delivery capabilities; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | compliance with industry standards.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------

If we fail to address the above factors, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our current competitors include Andrew Corporation, Fujitsu Limited, Hitachi Kokusai Electric Inc., Japan Radio Co., Ltd., Kathrein-Werke KG, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and Radio Frequency Systems, in addition
to a number of privately held companies throughout the world, subsidiaries of certain multinational corporations and the internal manufacturing operations and design groups of the leading wireless infrastructure manufacturers such as Alcatel-Lucent,
Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia Siemens, Nortel, and Samsung. Some competitors have adopted aggressive pricing strategies in an attempt to gain market share, which in return, has caused us to lower our prices in order to remain competitive. Such pricing
actions have had an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, some competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, sales, marketing and other resources than we do and have achieved
greater name recognition for their products and technologies than we have. If we are unable to successfully increase our market penetration or our overall share of the wireless communications infrastructure equipment market, our revenues will
decline, which would negatively impact our results of operations. During the second quarter of 2007, Andrew Corporation announced that it had agreed to be acquired by CommScope, Inc. This could create a much larger and well-financed competitor which
could have an impact on business.

Our failure to enhance our existing products or to develop and introduce new products that meet
changing customer requirements and evolving technological standards could have a negative impact on our ability to sell our products.

To succeed, we must improve current products and develop and introduce new products that are competitive in terms of price, performance and quality. These products must adequately address the requirements of wireless infrastructure
manufacturing customers and end-users. To develop new products, we invest in the research and development of wireless communications network products and coverage solutions. We target our research and development efforts on major wireless network
deployments worldwide, which cover a broad range of frequency and transmission protocols. In addition, we are currently working on products for next generation networks, as well as development projects for products requested by our customers and
improvements to our existing products. The deployment of a wireless network may be delayed which could result in the failure of a particular research or development effort to generate a revenue producing product. Additionally, the new products we
develop may not achieve market acceptance or may not be able to be manufactured cost effectively in sufficient volumes. Our research and development efforts are generally funded internally and our customers do not normally pay for our research and
development efforts. These costs are expensed as incurred. Therefore, if our efforts are not successful at creating or improving products that are purchased by our customers, there will be a negative impact on our operating results due to high
research and development expenses.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could adversely affect our
business and the market price of our Common Stock.

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC implementing Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to assess the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and provide a management report on our internal controls over financial reporting in all annual reports. This report contains,
among other matters, a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective and the disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management.
Section 404 also requires our independent registered public accounting firm to audit managements report.

The Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) provides a framework for companies to assess and improve their internal control systems. Auditing Standard No. 2 provides the professional standards and related performance guidance for
auditors to attest to, and report on, managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting under Section 404. Managements assessment of internal controls over financial reporting requires
management to make subjective judgments and, particularly because Section 404 and Auditing Standard No. 2 are newly effective, some of the judgments will be in areas that may be open to interpretation. Therefore, our managements
report on our internal controls over financial reporting may be difficult to prepare, and our auditors may not agree with our managements assessment.

While we currently believe our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, we are required to comply with Section 404 on an annual basis. If, in the future, we identify one or more material
weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting during this continuous evaluation process, our management will be unable to assert such internal controls are effective. Although we currently anticipate being able to continue to satisfy
the requirements of Section 404 in a timely fashion, we cannot be certain as to the timing of completion for our future evaluation, testing and any required remediation due in large part to the fact that there are limited precedents available
by which to measure compliance with these new requirements. In addition, we have begun the process of replacing our enterprise resource planning system and such system replacement during fiscal 2007 may create unanticipated delays in completing
the documentation and testing requirements of Section 404. Therefore, if we are unable to assert that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective in the future, or if our auditors are unable to attest that our managements
report is fairly stated or they are unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would have an adverse effect on our
business and the market price of our Common Stock.

Our shareholder rights plan and charter documents could make it more difficult for a
third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our shareholders.

Our shareholder rights plan and certain
provisions of our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law are intended to encourage potential acquirers to negotiate with us and allow our Board of Directors the opportunity to consider alternative proposals in the interest of maximizing
shareholder value. However, such provisions may also discourage acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control, which in turn, could harm our stock price and our shareholders.

Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes and other natural catastrophic events, and to interruptions by man made problems such as computer
viruses or terrorism.

Our corporate headquarters and a large portion of our U.S. based research and development operations are located
in the State of California in regions known for seismic activity. In addition, we have production facilities and have outsourced some of our production to contract manufacturers in Asia, another region known for seismic activity. A significant
natural disaster, such as an earthquake in either of these regions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, despite our implementation of network security measures, our servers
are vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business.
