forward-looking statements as defined within Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to revenue, revenue composition, market conditions, demand and
pricing trends, future expense levels, competition 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, 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 Wireless), the timing and cost to acquire
the remaining outstanding common shares of LGP Allgon under compulsory acquisition proceedings, restructuring charges, the completion of integration activities related to LGP Allgon, REMEC Wireless and the 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

Because of these and other factors that may affect Powerwaves operating results, past performance should not be considered as an indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical 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 Current Reports on Form 8-K,

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Tabular amounts in
thousands, except per share data)

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Powerwave 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 and 3G networks throughout the world. Powerwave also manufactures and sells advanced industrial components, primarily for the automotive and
food industries, under contract manufacturing arrangements.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

The
results of operations for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 (fiscal 2006.) 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 January 1, 2006.

On September 2, 2005, Powerwave completed the acquisition of selected assets and liabilities of REMEC, Inc.s Wireless Systems Business (the
REMEC Wireless Acquisition.) Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the REMEC Wireless Acquisition for the three and six months ended July 2, 2006, but such results are not included
for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 2, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (or
SFAS 123R), which supersedes our previous accounting under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (or APB 25). SFAS 123R requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a
fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options and stock issued under our employee stock plans. SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of
grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. We
adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires that compensation expense be recognized in the financial statements for all awards granted after the date of adoption as well as for existing awards which have not
vested as of the date of adoption. The modified prospective transition method does not require restatement of prior periods to reflect the impact of SFAS 123R.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (or SFAS 123). Under the intrinsic value method, employee stock-based compensation expense was not recognized in our consolidated statements of operations for
any period prior to our adoption of SFAS 123R on January 2, 2006, as long as the exercise price of the stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we 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 we took
a 100% valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance is still in place. Accordingly we have 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 2, 2006. In addition, we previously presented unearned compensation as a separate component of stockholders equity. In accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123R, upon adoption, we also reclassified the balance in unearned compensation to common stock on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In November 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB), issued FASB Staff Position FAS123R-3, Transition Election to
Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards,(FSP). This FSP requires an entity to follow either the transition guidance for the additional paid-in-capital pool as prescribed in SFAS 123R or the alternative
transition method as described in the FSP. An entity that adopts SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method may make a one-time election to adopt the transition method described in this FSP. An entity may take up to one year from the later of
its initial adoption of SFAS 123R or the effective date of this FSP to evaluate its available transition alternatives and make its one-time election. This FSP became effective in November 2005. We are still evaluating whether we will adopt the
alternative method for calculating our additional paid-in-capital pool described in the FSP.

During the three and six months ended
July 2, 2006, the Company recognized total compensation expense of $1.0 million and $2.0, respectively, which consists of $0.8 million and $1.6 million for stock options and $0.2 and $0.4 million for employee stock purchase plan awards in its
consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-based compensation expense was recognized as follows in the statement of operations (in
thousands):

As of July 2, 2006, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the
Companys stock options and employee stock purchase plan awards was approximately $3.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

##### Table of Contents

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.
We have 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 2006 and 2005 were $3.56 per share and $3.21 per share, respectively. Had compensation cost for the Companys stock option plans and its stock purchase plans been determined based on the estimated fair value at the grant

Note 7. Restructuring and Impairment Charges

Integration of REMECs Wireless Systems Business

In connection with the REMEC Wireless Acquisition during the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we formulated and began to implement our plan to restructure and integrate the combined operations. As a result, we recorded
restructuring charges related to our operations of approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2006, which amounts to aggregate restructuring charges totaling $0.6 million since the acquisition date. The six month period charges
are included in restructuring and impairment charges within operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, since the acquisition date we have recognized $12.6 million as liabilities in connection
with the acquisition for estimated restructuring and integration costs related to the consolidation of REMECs Wireless 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 ETIF 95-3). The implementation of the restructuring and integration plan is underway and further actions are
expected pending the further assessment of workforce and facility related requirements and certain product related decisions with respect to duplicate technology, product defects and inventory for which there will no longer be an active market for
the combined company. Our restructuring and integration plan is subject to continued future refinement as additional information becomes available. During the first six months of fiscal 2006, we recorded an additional warranty accrual of
approximately $9.5 million related to product defects in connection with pre-acquisition shipments (see Note 10) that also increased our goodwill related to the acquisition by the same amount. We are assessing our ability to pursue remedies against
REMEC for these product defects. Integration activities related to this restructuring plan are currently expected to continue through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

Integration with LGP Allgon

In connection with our acquisition of LGP Allgon during the second
quarter of fiscal 2004, we formulated and began to implement a plan to restructure and integrate LGP Allgons operations with Powerwaves operations. During fiscal 2005, we finalized our restructuring and integration plan with respect to
the consolidation of LGP Allgons legacy operations bringing the total costs recognized as liabilities and additional asset fair value adjustments related to such restructuring and integration plan to $26.6 million. These estimated costs were
included in the allocation of the purchase price and resulted in additional goodwill pursuant to EITF 95-3. The final integration activities related to this restructuring plan are currently expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2006.

A summary of the activity that affected the Companys restructuring and impairment charges and accrued restructuring
liability for the year ended January 1, 2006 and the six months ended July 2, 2006 is as follows:

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax assets and
liabilities for each tax jurisdiction within which it operates based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of the associated assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for each separate
tax jurisdiction for the years such differences are expected to reverse. The Company does not provide deferred U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries where such earnings are considered to be permanently
reinvested. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities.

Powerwave recorded an effective tax rate of 17.4% for the six months ended July 2, 2006. The rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards that had a
full valuation allowance; the impact of the distribution of earnings and losses in various tax jurisdictions; and the impact of the in-process research and development charge which was not tax deductible. Given the increased global scope of
Powerwaves operations and the complexity of global tax and transfer pricing rules and regulations, it has



12

##### Table of Contents

become increasingly difficult to predict and thereafter realize our earnings within each tax jurisdiction. This has resulted in, and could continue to result
in, significant fluctuations in Powerwaves effective tax rate.

As of July 2, 2006, Powerwave had a consolidated net deferred
tax asset of approximately $3.1 million related to certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company continually assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some or all or
such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Recoverability of its deferred tax assets is dependent upon continued profitability from operations, as well as the geographic region generating the profits.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Powerwave is
subject to various legal proceedings from time to time as part of its business. As of July 2, 2006, Powerwave was not currently party to any legal proceedings or threatened legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the
aggregate, it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

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 warranty liabilities
for significant and unusual product performance issues at the time such issues are identified and the associated warranty related costs can be reasonably estimated. A summary of the activity that affected the Companys accrued warranty costs
for the six months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005 are as follows:

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 2, 2006 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



13



---

##### Table of Contents

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 benefits to such executives upon the termination of their employment with Powerwave.

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. 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 $1.4 million and $2.8 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. Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 includes the add-back of interest expense (net of tax) of approximately $1.6 million and $3.2 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 1,747,482 and 1,509,114 shares, respectively.

Note 12. Customer Concentrations

Powerwaves product sales have historically been concentrated in a small number of customers. During the six months ended July 2, 2006 and
July 3, 2005, sales to customers that accounted for 10% or more of revenues totaled $126.5 million and $134.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended July 2, 2006, sales to Nokia and Siemens accounted for approximately 18% and
12% of total revenues, respectively. During the six months ended July 3, 2005, sales to Nortel, Nokia and Ericsson accounted for approximately 14%, 13% and 12% of total revenues, respectively.

As of July 2, 2006, approximately 20% of total accounts receivable related to two customers that each accounted for 10% or more of Powerwaves
total revenue during the first six months of 2006. The 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 two reportable business segments: Wireless Communications and Contract Manufacturing. Sales in the wireless communications segment are derived primarily 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, and 3G wireless communications networks
throughout the world. Sales in the contract manufacturing segment are derived primarily from the sale of advanced industrial components, primarily for the automotive and food industries, under contract manufacturing arrangements. These two
reportable segments are regularly evaluated by the Companys executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The accounting policies for each reportable segment are the same as those described in
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

|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 primary business consists of the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of products to improve coverage,
capacity and data speed in wireless communication 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 that 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 wireless network operators), and directly to individual wireless network operators for deployment into their existing networks.

We also operate a contract manufacturing business under the trade name of Arkivator. This business manufactures and sells advanced industrial
components, primarily for the automotive and food industries, under contract manufacturing arrangements. This business accounted for approximately 6% of our revenues for the six months ended July 2, 2006.

During the last six years, demand for wireless communications infrastructure equipment has fluctuated dramatically. While demand for wireless
infrastructure was strong during 2005, in the past there have been significant slowdowns in capital spending by wireless network operators due to delays in the expected deployment of infrastructure equipment and financial difficulties on the part of
the wireless network operators who were forced to consolidate and reduce spending to strengthen their balance sheets and improve their profitability. These changes had a significant negative impact on overall demand for wireless infrastructure
products, and at various times, have directly reduced demand for our products and increased price competition within our industry which has in the past led to reductions in our revenues and contributed to our reported operating losses. During the
first six months of 2006, we experienced a significant slowdown in demand from one of our direct network operator customers, Cingular Wireless, which directly reduced demand for our products and contributed to our operating loss for the first
quarter of 2006.

We believe that we have maintained our overall market share within the wireless communications infrastructure equipment
market during this period. We continue to invest in the research and development of wireless communications network technology and the diversification of our product offerings, and we believe that we have one of our industrys leading product
portfolios in terms of performance and features. We believe that our proprietary design technology is a further differentiator for our products.

Looking back over the last several years, beginning in fiscal 2004 we focused on cost savings while we expanded our market opportunities, as evidenced by our acquisition of LGP Allgon. This acquisition involved the integration of two
companies based in different countries that previously operated independently, which was a complex, costly and time-consuming process. We have implemented our plans to restructure and integrate LGP Allgons operations, technology and personnel
with ours. During fiscal 2005, we continued to focus on cost savings while we expanded our market opportunities, as evidenced by our acquisition of selected assets and liabilities of REMEC, Inc.s Wireless Systems Business (the REMEC
Wireless Acquisition.) We believe the product offerings and customer relationships included as part of the REMEC Wireless Acquisition are complimentary with our products and that this acquisition has further strengthened our position in the
global wireless infrastructure market.

We measure our success by monitoring our net sales and gross margins, with a short-term goal of
maintaining a positive operating cash flow while striving to achieve long-term operating profits. We believe that there continues to be long-term growth opportunities within the wireless communications infrastructure marketplace, and we are focused
on positioning Powerwave to benefit from these long-term opportunities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As
such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information currently available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets
and liabilities. The critical accounting policies that we believe are the most significant for purposes of fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition

The majority of
our revenue is derived from the sales of products. We recognize revenue from product sales at the time of shipment or delivery and passage of title depending upon the terms of the sale. We offer certain of our customers the right to return products
within a limited time after delivery under specified circumstances. We monitor and track such product returns and record a provision for the estimated amount of such future returns based on historical experience and any notification we receive of
pending returns. While such returns have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same return rates that we have in the past. Any significant increase in
product returns could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for the period or periods in which such returns materialize.

Accounts Receivable

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment
history, the customers credit worthiness and various other factors, as determined by our review of their credit information. We monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses based
upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to
experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. Since our accounts receivable are highly concentrated in a small number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could
have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of our accounts receivable, our liquidity and our future operating results.

Inventories

We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory or the
current estimated market value of the inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and on order and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory and/or vendor cancellation charges related to purchase commitments. Depending on
the product line, such provisions are established based on historical usage for the preceding twelve months, adjusted for known changes in demands for such products, or the estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements for the
next twelve months. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. As
demonstrated during the past three fiscal years, demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. A significant increase in the demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases while a significant
decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on hand. In addition, our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision
required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if our inventory is determined to be overvalued, we would be required to recognize additional expense in our cost of goods sold at the time of such determination. Likewise, if our inventory
is determined to be undervalued, we may have over-reported our costs of goods sold in previous periods and would be required to recognize additional gross profit at the time such inventory is sold. Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure the
accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a material effect on the value of our inventory and our reported operating results.

Income Taxes

We recognize current
and deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as the associated income statement benefit or expense, based on our reported operating results and the differences between the financial statement carrying values and the tax bases of assets and
liabilities in each separate tax jurisdiction within which we conduct business.

##### Table of Contents

We do not provide deferred U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries where we consider such earnings to be permanently
reinvested. Given the global scope of our operations and the complexity of global tax and transfer pricing rules and regulations, it has become increasingly difficult to predict and thereafter realize our earnings within each tax jurisdiction. This
has resulted in, and could continue to result in, significant fluctuations in our effective tax rate.

We regularly review our deferred tax
assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences within each taxing jurisdiction.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. Because of the expertise
required to value intangible assets and in-process research and development, we typically engage independent valuation specialists to assist us in determining those values. Valuation of intangible assets and in-process research and development
entails significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, determining the timing and expected costs to complete development projects, estimating future cash flows from product sales, developing appropriate discount rates,
estimating probability rates for the successful completion of development projects, continuation of customer relationships and renewal of customer contracts, and approximating the useful lives of the intangible assets acquired. To the extent actual
results differ from these estimates, our future results of operations may be affected.

We review the recoverability of the carrying value
of goodwill on an annual basis or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change to indicate that an impairment of goodwill has possibly occurred. The determination of whether any potential impairment of goodwill exists is based upon a
comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to the accounting value of the underlying net assets of such reporting unit. To determine the fair value of a reporting unit, we utilize subjective valuations for the reporting unit based upon a
discounted cash flow analysis. The discounted cash flow analysis is dependent upon a number of various factors including estimates of forecasted revenues and costs, appropriate discount rates and other variables. If the fair value of the reporting
unit is less than the carrying value of the underlying net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill is less than the difference between the fair value of the reporting
unit and the fair value of all its underlying identifiable assets and liabilities.

Purchased intangible assets with determinable useful
lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which generally range up to 6 years. We review the recoverability of the carrying value of identified
intangibles and other long-lived assets, including fixed assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined based upon the forecasted
undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of such asset and its eventual disposition. Our estimate of future cash flows is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance,
growth rates and other factors. The actual cash flows realized from these assets may vary significantly from our estimates due to increased competition, changes in technology, fluctuations in demand, consolidation of our customers and reductions in
average selling prices. If the carrying value of an asset is determined not to be recoverable from future operating cash flows, the asset is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated
fair market value of the asset. While we do not believe that any of our intangible or other long-lived assets are currently impaired, any future impairment of such assets could have a material adverse affect on our financial position and results of
operations.

Warranties

We offer warranties of various lengths to our customers depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. Our standard warranties require us to repair or replace defective product returned to us during such
warranty period at no cost to the customer. We record an estimate for standard warranty-related costs based on our actual historical return rates and repair costs at the time of the sale and update such estimate throughout the warranty period. While
our warranty costs have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same warranty return rates or repair costs that we have in the past. We also have
contractual commitments to various customers that require us to incur costs to repair an epidemic defect with respect to our products outside of our standard warranty period if such defect were to occur. Any costs related to epidemic defects are
generally recorded at the time the epidemic defect becomes known to us and the costs of repair can be reasonably estimated. While we have not historically experienced significant costs related to epidemic defects, we cannot guarantee that we will
not experience

significant costs to repair epidemic defects in the future. A significant increase in product return rates, a significant increase in the costs to repair our
products, or an unexpected epidemic defect in our products, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results during the period in which such returns or additional costs materialize.

Accruals for Restructuring and Impairment Charges

We recorded $1.3 million, $2.6 million and $15.5 million of restructuring and impairment charges during fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In connection with the REMEC Wireless Acquisition during the
third quarter of fiscal 2005, we formulated and began to implement our plan to restructure and integrate the combined operations. As a result, we recorded restructuring charges related to our operations of approximately $0.2 million for the six
months ended July 2, 2006, which amounts to aggregate restructuring charges totaling $0.6 million since the acquisition date. We recognized $12.6 million as liabilities in connection with the acquisition for estimated restructuring and
integration costs related to the consolidation of REMECs Wireless operations, including severance and future lease obligations on excess facilities. The implementation of the restructuring and integration plan is in process and further actions
are expected pending the further assessment of workforce and facility related requirements and certain product related decisions with respect to duplicate technology, product defects and inventory for which there will no longer be an active market
for the combined company. Our restructuring and integration plan is subject to continued future refinement as additional information becomes available. During the first six months of fiscal 2006, we recorded an additional warranty accrual of
approximately $9.5 million related to product defects in connection with pre-acquisition shipments that also increased our goodwill related to the acquisition by the same amount. We are assessing our ability to pursue remedies against REMEC for
these product defects. Integration activities related to this restructuring plan are currently expected to continue through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. In addition, as a result of the acquisition of LGP Allgon in May 2004, we recorded $26.6
million of additional restructuring liabilities and asset write-downs under purchase accounting for expected integration and consolidation activities related to their operations. Integration activities related to this restructuring plan are
currently expected to continue through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes (or FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes (or SFAS 109). This Interpretation defines the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Three Months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005

Net Sales

Our sales are derived
primarily 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, and 3G wireless communications networks throughout the world. We also manufacture and sell advanced industrial components, primarily for the automotive and food industries, under contract manufacturing arrangements.

Sales increased by 24.7% to $232.4 million, for the quarter ended July 2, 2006, from $186.3 million, for the quarter ended July 3, 2005.
This increase was primarily due to the impact of the REMEC Wireless Acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The following table presents an analysis of our net sales based upon business segment:

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 base station enclosures. Coverage systems consist
primarily of repeaters and advanced coverage solutions. The increase in antenna and base station systems during the three months ended July 2, 2006 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2005 is primarily a result of the REMEC
Wireless Acquisition.

We track the geographic location of our sales based upon the location of our customers to which our products are
shipped. 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, Asia Pacific, Europe and other international locations increased in the
second quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2005, primarily as a result of the REMEC Wireless Acquisition. Since wireless network infrastructure spending is dependent on individual network coverage and capacity demands
during a quarter, 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 2, 2006, total sales to Nokia accounted for approximately 21% of sales and sales to Siemens accounted for 10% or more of sales for the quarter. For the quarter ended July 3, 2005, total sales to Ericsson
accounted for approximately 18% of sales and sales to Cingular Wireless, Nokia and Nortel each accounted for 10% or more of sales. The decrease in the percentage of our sales to Nortel during the quarter ended July 2, 2006 is the result of our
various acquisitions, which substantially increased our total revenues and number of customers, as well as a reduction in demand for products purchased by Nortel. Notwithstanding our acquisitions, our business remains largely dependent upon the
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 previously 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 and South America. 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 previously caused and may in the future 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 higher amounts of overhead per unit 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 per unit expensed to cost of sales.

Our gross profit percentage decreased during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the
second quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily as a result of the REMEC Wireless Acquisition which consisted of lower margin products offset by material and manufacturing cost reductions implemented since the acquisition. Also contributing to the reduction
in our gross margins percentage was a reduction in direct operator sales as a percentage of our revenues to 39% compared to 46% in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Direct network operator sales typically have carried higher margins than our OEM
based sales. Our gross margins percentage was also reduced due to increased intangible amortization costs due to the REMEC Wireless Acquisition.

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 sell
the Philippine manufacturing operations acquired in the REMEC Wireless Acquisition as part of our plan to reduce manufacturing costs associated with our REMEC Wireless Acquisition. However, we cannot guarantee that these cost reduction, 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

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of sales salaries and commissions, travel expenses,
charges for customer demonstration units and trade show expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.3 million, or 3.2%, during the quarter ended July 2, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended July 3, 2005. The decrease resulted
primarily from reduced personnel costs in our Swedish operations, somewhat offset by increased personnel and trade costs in the U.S.

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 decreased by $0.2 million, or 1.2%, during the quarter ended July 2, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended July 3, 2005 primarily due to realized savings as part of our
integration activities from personnel reductions and facility consolidations in the legacy Powerwave operations as well as there was no bonus accrual during the second quarter of 2006.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other expenses for management, finance, information systems, facilities and human
resources. General and administrative expenses increased $2.9 million, or 28.7%, during the quarter ended July 2, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended July 3, 2005. This increase was due to several factors including the REMEC Wireless
Acquisition, expenses incurred for the implementation of our Oracle enterprise resource planning system as well as approximately $0.7 million of increased personnel costs for compensation expense recognized in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006
for stock options and employee stock purchase plan awards that was not recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. This was somewhat offset by elimination of bonus accrual during 2006 due to lower financial performance.

Amortization of customer-related intangibles, primarily from the LGP Allgon acquisition, amounted to $2.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006,
compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards that
were fully reserved in the U.S. and the geographic distribution of our income, which is taxed at various rates depending upon the country where such earnings are reported, as well as the impact of state taxes on U.S. domestic operations. We recorded
a tax provision at the rate of 13.1% during the quarter ended July 2, 2006 as compared to 7.4% for the quarter ended July 3, 2005. Given the global scope of our worldwide operations and the difficulty in predicting and, thereafter,
realizing our earnings within each tax jurisdiction, we expect that our effective tax rate may fluctuate dramatically in the future.

Our net income for the quarter ended July 2, 2006 of $12.6 million compared to a net income
of $13.0 million for the quarter ended July 3, 2005. The slight decrease in net income during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2005 is primarily the result of lower gross margins resulting from the
REMEC Wireless Acquisition.

Six Months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005

Net Sales

Sales increased by 22% to
$425.5 million, for the six months ended July 2, 2006, from $348.5 million, for the six months ended July 3, 2005. This increase was primary due to the impact of the REMEC Wireless Acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 offset by
reduced demand from Nortel and Ericsson and a slowdown in direct network operator sales in the first six months of 2006. The following table presents an analysis of our net sales based upon business segment:

The increase in antenna and base station systems during the six months ended July 2, 2006 as
compared to the six months ended July 3, 2005 is a result of the REMEC Wireless Acquisition offset by a reduction in demand during the first six months of fiscal 2006 by both Nortel and Ericsson compared to the first six months of 2005.

Revenues in the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and other international locations increased in the
first six months of fiscal 2006 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2005, primarily as a result of the REMEC Wireless Acquisition. Since wireless network infrastructure spending is dependent on individual network coverage and capacity
demands during a quarter, 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 six months ended July 2, 2006, total sales to Nokia accounted for approximately 18% of sales and sales to Siemens accounted for 10% or more of sales for the period. For the six months ended July 3,
2005, total sales to Nortel accounted for approximately 14% of sales and sales to Nokia and Ericsson each accounted for 10% or more of sales. The decrease in the percentage of our sales to Nortel and Ericsson during the six months ended July 2,
2006 is the result of our various acquisitions, which substantially increased our total revenues and number of customers, as well as a reduction in demand for products purchased by Nortel and Ericsson. Notwithstanding our acquisitions, our business
remains largely dependent upon the 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.

Our total gross profit increased during the first six months of fiscal 2006 compared to the first
six months of fiscal 2005 primarily as a result of our increased revenues. At the same time, our gross profit margin percentage declined due to both the lower margin product mix included in the REMEC Wireless Acquisition and the poor absorption of
our manufacturing overheads due to the lower purchasing volume during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Also contributing to the reduction in our gross margins percentage was a reduction in direct operator sales as a percentage of total sales, which
typically have carried higher margins than our OEM based sales. Our gross margins percentage was also reduced due to increased intangible amortization costs due to the REMEC Wireless Acquisition.

Operating Expenses

The following

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 5.2%, during the six months ended
July 2, 2006 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from reduced personnel costs in our Swedish operations, somewhat offset by increased personnel and trade costs in the U.S. In addition, there
was no bonus accrual in the first six months of 2006.

Research and development expenses slightly increased by $0.6 million, or 2.2%,
during the six months ended July 2, 2006 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2005. During the first six months of 2006, we have maintained a tight focus on cost control. Additional research and development costs associated with the
REMEC Wireless Acquisition have been offset with personnel and facility consolidation as well as no bonus has been accrued during the first six months of 2006.

General and administrative expenses increased $8.6 million, or 45.9%, during the six months ended July 2, 2006 as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2005. This increase was due to several factors
including the REMEC Wireless Acquisition, costs incurred for documentation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting at locations acquired in our acquisitions, expenses incurred for the implementation of our Oracle enterprise
resource planning system as well as increased personnel costs, and compensation expense of approximately $1.5 million was recognized in the first six months of fiscal year 2006 for stock options and employee stock purchase plan awards that was not
recorded in the six months of fiscal year 2005. In addition, there was no bonus accrual in the first six months of 2006.

Interest income increased by $0.8 million during the six months ended July 2, 2006 primarily
due to increased short-term interest rates as compared to 2005. This was offset by $0.1 million of additional interest expense during the six months ended July 2, 2006 primarily due to the amortization of interest expense associated with our
subordinated convertible notes.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards that
were fully reserved in the U.S. and the geographic distribution of our income, which is taxed at various rates depending upon the country where such earnings are reported, as well as the impact of state taxes on U.S. domestic operations. We recorded
a tax provision at the rate of 17.4% during the six months ended July 2, 2006 as compared to 10.0% for the six months ended July 3, 2005. Given the global scope of our worldwide operations and the difficulty in predicting and, thereafter,
realizing our earnings within each tax jurisdiction, we expect that our effective tax rate may fluctuate dramatically in the future.

Our net income for the six months ended July 2, 2006 of $10.3 million compared to a net
income of $18.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2005. The decrease in net income during the first six months of fiscal 2006 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2005 is primarily the result of lower gross margins due to the
REMEC Wireless Acquisition and the slower than anticipated revenue growth in 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided from operations, private debt placements and both
private and public equity offerings. Our principal sources of liquidity consist of existing cash balances and funds expected to be generated from future operations. As of July 2, 2006, we had working capital of $422.9 million, including $208.5
million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as compared to working capital of $358.5 million at July 3, 2005, which included $277.5 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 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005:

Net cash used in operations during the six months ended July 2, 2006 was $35.0 million as
compared to $13.4 million of net cash provided by operations during the six months ended July 3, 2005. The increase in cash used in operations during the first six months of fiscal 2006 is primarily due to higher inventory and accounts
receivable balances.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2006 was $0.1 million as compared to
net cash provided by investing activities of $116.2 million during the first six months of 2005. The larger amount in the first six months of 2005 primarily reflects maturities of short-term investments of $135.2 million related to our decision to
cease investments in short-term auction rate securities. In addition, during the first six months of fiscal 2006, we generated $19.1 million in proceeds from the disposition of our Philippines operations and spent $7.4 million for an acquisition.
Total capital expenditures during the six months ended July 2, 2006 and July 3, 2005 were approximately $5.4 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The majority of the capital spending during such periods related to computer hardware and
test equipment utilized in our manufacturing and research and development areas. During 2005, the additional spending was primarily related to capital equipment acquired by our Arkivator subsidiary. We expect our capital spending requirements for
the remainder of this year to range between $5 million and $10 million, consisting of test and production equipment.

The $8.0 million in
net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended July 2, 2006 and $2.2 million during the six months ended July 3, 2005 resulted from the issuance of our Common Stock under our employee stock option programs and our
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

We currently believe that our existing cash balances and funds expected to be generated from operations 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. 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 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.

Financing Activities

We currently do not have a committed credit facility. We continue to evaluate our long-term financing needs and may decide in the future to negotiate a new credit agreement. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to establish a
new credit agreement on terms acceptable to us. Currently, due to our cash balances, we do not believe that we require a credit line to finance our operations.

Effective November 10, 2004, we completed the private placement of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated notes due November 2024 to Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. and raised
approximately $154.2 million in net proceeds after the deduction of debt issuance costs and the repurchase of $40.0 million or 5,050,505 shares of our Common Stock. The notes are convertible into the Common Stock of Powerwave at a conversion price
of $11.09 per share and accrue interest at an annual rate of 1.875%. The notes mature in 2024. Powerwave may redeem the notes beginning on November 21, 2009 until November 20, 2010 and on or after November 21, 2010 until
November 20, 2011, if the closing price of Powerwaves Common Stock is more than $17.74 and $14.42, respectively, for at least 20 trading days within a 30 consecutive trading day period. The notes may be redeemed by Powerwave at any time
after November 21, 2011. Holders of the notes may require Powerwave to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash on November 15, 2011, 2014 and 2019 at 100% of

the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the date of such repurchase.

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 2, 2006, 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.

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 2, 2006, we had $330.0 million of long-term debt, consisting of our outstanding $130.0 million 1.25% convertible subordinated notes due July 2008 and our $200.0 million 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 January 1, 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.

We have initiated compulsory acquisition proceedings under Swedish law to acquire
the remaining 528,554 outstanding common shares of LGP Allgon that were not tendered in our exchange offer. During the quarter ended July 2, 2006, $5.9 million was placed into an escrow account for the compulsory acquisition of these shares.
This amount has been included in restricted cash in the Companys balance sheet dated as of July 2, 2006 included within the financial statements in Item 1.

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.

As of July 2, 2006, expected future cash payments related to contractual obligations and commercial commitments were as follows:

We believe that our existing cash balances and funds expected to be generated from future
operations 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.

All stock
option grants and awards to our executive officers and vice presidents are made after a review by, and with the approval of, either the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or the entire Board of Directors. All members of the
Compensation Committee are independent directors, as defined in the applicable rules for

issuers traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Our executive officers include Bruce C. Edwards, Executive Chairman of the Board, Ronald J. Buschur, President and
Chief Executive Officer; Kevin T. Michaels, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary; and Robert J. Legendre, Senior Vice President, Global Operations. See the Compensation Committee Report On Executive Compensation appearing in the
Companys Annual Proxy Statement for further information concerning the policies and procedures of the Company and the Compensation Committee regarding the use of stock options.

During the six months ended July 2, 2006, we granted options to purchase a total of 106,000 shares of Common Stock to employees. After deducting
409,654 shares for options forfeited, the result was net option forfeitures of 303,654. Net option forfeitures during the six months ended July 2, 2006 represented 0.3% of our total outstanding common shares of 112,206,519 as of July 2,
2006. The following table summarizes the net stock option grants to our employees, directors and executive officers during the three most recent fiscal periods:

At July 2, 2006, a total of 9,782,710 options were available for grant under all of our

|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 2, 2006, 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, 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 70% of our net sales during the six months ended July 2, 2006, 64% of our fiscal 2005 net sales, 71% of our fiscal 2004 net sales and 46% of our fiscal 2003
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 are regularly required to convert the payments received into U.S. Dollars or utilize such foreign currencies as payments for expenses of our business, which gives 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.

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 2, 2006, 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 2, 2006, we had cash equivalents of approximately $220.2 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 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 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. Based on our overall interest rate exposure at July 2, 2006, 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.

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 2006 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
|------- | -----------------

We are subject to various legal
proceedings and threatened legal proceedings from time to time as part of our business. We are not currently party to any legal proceedings nor aware of any threatened legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the
aggregate, we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. However, any potential litigation, regardless of its merits, could result in substantial costs to us and divert
managements attention from our operations. Such diversions could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

|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 that this will continue. For the six
months ended July 2, 2006, sales to Nokia accounted for approximately 18% of net sales and sales to Siemens accounted for 10% or more of our net sales. For fiscal year 2005, Cingular Wireless accounted for approximately 15% of our net sales and
Nokia accounted for 10% or more of our net sales. During the first six months of 2006, our direct sales to Cingular Wireless significantly declined when compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 and such decline contributed to our operating loss for
the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and reduced financial performance for the first six months of fiscal 2006. In addition, Nokia and Siemens have announced plans to combine their wireless businesses which will increase the combined entity as a
percentage of our business. This combined entity will be a significant percentage of our business and any decline in this business would 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 and any fluctuations in demand from such customers could 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;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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 and on September 2, 2005, we completed the REMEC Wireless Acquisition. These acquisitions involve the integration of companies and operations, many of which are based in different countries that previously have 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 and REMEC Wireless, and as a result, we may not successfully
integrate these operations with our own in a timely manner, or at all. 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 acquisition of LGP Allgon and REMECs Wireless systems business are the largest acquisitions we have completed and the complex
process of integrating these businesses requires significant resources. We have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs and commit significant management time in integrating LGP Allgons and REMEC Wireless operations,
information, communications and other systems and personnel, among other items. The integration of these businesses has resulted and will continue to result in cash outflows related to the integration process, such as:



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

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 intend to convert the remainder of our enterprise resource planning systems during the next six
months 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. 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 increased during fiscal year 2005, a significant portion of this increase was due to our acquisitions of LGP Allgon and REMEC Wireless. During
the first six months of 2006, we experienced significantly reduced demand for our products due to lower than anticipated purchasing plans by a major North American wireless network operator, Cingular Wireless. As a result of this reduction and
general slowness in the infrastructure marketplace during the first six months of fiscal 2006, our revenues decreased to $193.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $258.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. These types of
reductions in overall market demand had a negative impact on our results of operations.

During fiscal 2005, we experienced a significant
reduction in demand from Nortel. While during 2005 we were able to offset this reduction with demand from other customers, 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 WCDMA, or 3G, 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;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | 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



37



---

##### Table of Contents

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. We believe that the average sales prices of our products will continue to decline for the foreseeable future. The average
sales price for our radio frequency power amplifier products declined by between 1% to 27% from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. 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. 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 primarily from the sale of wireless communications
network products and coverage solutions. Our future success depends 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 the first six months of fiscal 2006. 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



38

##### Table of Contents

operating results. If wireless network operators begin to 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 selected assets and liabilities of REMEC, Inc.s Wireless Systems
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 September 2, 2005, we completed the REMEC Wireless Acquisition. On June 12, 2006, we entered into an agreement to acquire the wireless
infrastructure division of Filtronic, plc. 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 REMEC Wireless Acquisition and the proposed acquisition of the wireless infrastructure division of Filtronic, 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



39

##### Table of Contents

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.

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., Costa Rica, 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
have recently sold our Philippines manufacturing facility to Celestica. If after the transfer of ownership production efficiency falls, 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. If Celestica
is unable to maintain current production levels or has some other difficulty in managing the facility, we could be adversely impacted and unable to deliver certain products to our customers. Such failure could cause us to purchase replacement
products which would 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.

##### Table of Contents

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, Singapore and Thailand. We also maintain our own manufacturing
operations in China, Costa Rica, Estonia and Sweden, as well as limited capability in the United States. We sold our Philippines manufacturing facility to one of our contract manufacturers in March 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 experience 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. If there were to be a coup 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 2, 2006, and fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003, international revenues
(excluding North American sales) accounted for approximately 70%, 64%, 71%, and 46% 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, 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;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | 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 on-going program to identify and file applications for U.S. and other
international patents.

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 January 1, 2006, the price of our Common
Stock ranged from a high of $13.92 to a low of $4.54. 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; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

In addition, the
increase in the number of shares of our outstanding Common Stock due 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 additional capital in the future and such additional
financing may not be available at favorable terms.

We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity
financings in order 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. 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. 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, or otherwise respond to unanticipated competitive pressures.

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, Filtronic PLC, 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 Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia,
Nortel, Samsung and Siemens. 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.

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, beginning with our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2005. 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 2006 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 the majority 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.
