• Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $414,000 for the quarter, or $0.02 per diluted share compared to $3.0 million of net income, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008.

“PCTEL is establishing momentum in key vertical markets for the company’s antenna products and preparing for the rollout of LTE and WiMAX, while continuing to align its costs with the reality of a global economic recession,” said Marty Singer, PCTEL’s Chairman and CEO. “We were pleased that we generated a non-GAAP net profit given the challenging revenue environment and anticipate that our business development efforts will result in stronger revenue performance as we move forward and the economy begins to recover.”

The Company completed the sale of its Mobility Solutions Group (MSG) in January, 2008. The Company’s financial statements reflect MSG as a discontinued operation.

This schedule reconciles the company’s GAAP operating income and GAAP net income from continuing operations to its non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations. The company believes that presentation of this schedule provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the company’s core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the company’s GAAP results.

(a)	These adjustments reflect stock based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and impairment charges
(b)	These adjustments include the items described in footnote (a) as well as the non-cash income tax expense
