Our Businesses

Mobile Power Products (ChargeSource)

Our ChargeSource business designs and manufactures external power adapters for notebook computers, mobile phones, and many other rechargeable handheld devices. These mobile power products, which are designed with the needs of the traveling professional in mind, provide a high level of functionality and compatibility in an industry leading compact design.

Products

Our current and planned ChargeSource product offering consists of external AC/DC, AC, and DC power adapters designed for the right mix of power output and functionality for most retail, original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), and enterprise customers. Our ChargeSource products are also programmable, allowing those who use rechargeable electronic devices to carry just one power adapter. By simply changing the compact SmartTip connected to the end of the charging cable, our external power adapters are capable of charging and powering multiple devices.

We believe our patented electrical designs will continue to be the basis for even higher-power external power adapters that are expected to meet evolving global standards, including the planned standards of the European Union (“EU”), and the increasing power requirements of the notebook computer OEMs, and allow us to offer customers cutting edge technology while significantly decreasing size and weight.

Our ChargeSource business generated revenue totaling $16.7 million, $12.3 million, and $5.8 million in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Wireless Test Solutions

Our WTS business designs and manufactures hardware and software tools for use by wireless carriers, equipment vendors, and others. Radio engineers, network improvement professionals and technicians, and others use these test tools to deploy and optimize wireless networks, and to verify the performance of the wireless networks and resulting quality of service once deployed.

Products

Our WTS product offering consists of integrated hardware and software solutions that are flexible, scalable, and modular, allowing our customers to analyze and test all 2G, 2.5G, and 3G technologies. Test applications include optimization and Quality of Service (“QoS”) testing/benchmarking of wireless networks, in-building or in-vehicle testing, fixed or mobile testing, and voice, data, or video testing.

Services

Our WTS business leases test systems on a limited basis. The demand for our leased equipment is primarily from customers providing engineering services to wireless carriers requiring QoS and benchmarking data on an outsourced basis.

Our WTS business generated revenue totaling $15.3 million, $24.5 million, and $16.8 million in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Emergency Call Box Systems

Products

Our emergency call box business designs, manufactures, and maintains emergency call box systems that incorporate digital wireless and text-telephony (“TTY”) technologies for state and local governmental agencies primarily located in California and New York. Our call box products provide emergency communication over existing wireless networks and are typically deployed along major highways, and at schools, universities, shopping centers, and parks.

Services

In conjunction with the sale of call box products, we provide system installation and long-term maintenance services. Currently, there are approximately 10,800 call boxes that we maintain under long-term agreements that expire at various dates through February 2011. Under the terms of the maintenance agreements, our governmental customers can terminate their respective agreement without cause upon 30-days written notice.

Our emergency call box systems business generated revenue totaling $15.7 million, $10.0 million, and $6.6 million in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Marketing, Sales, and Distribution

Mobile Power Products (ChargeSource)

We believe demand for our mobile power products can be categorized into the following three distinct channels:

•

Retail;

•

OEM-branded accessories, and

•

OEM “in-the-box.”

Retail. To reach the retail consumer, we have historically entered into exclusive distribution agreements with a single tier-one distributor of consumer electronics. Our distribution partner brands our products and distributes them to retailers, focusing on national “big-box” retail chains and office superstores. Due to the terms of this exclusive distribution agreement, our direct access to certain significant distribution channels was limited. Accordingly, our success was depended to a large degree upon our exclusive distributor’s ability and willingness to effectively and widely distribute our ChargeSource products. As of January 31, 2007, Kensington, a division of ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE:ABD), was the exclusive retail channel distributor of our ChargeSource products and has been the source of the majority of our ChargeSource revenue. Revenue generated by Kensington for fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 totaled $15.4 million, $11.8 million, and $0.9 million, respectively, or as a percentage of total ChargeSource revenue, 92 percent, 96 percent, and 16 percent, respectively.

To reduce our exposure to the risks related to depending upon a single powerful customer, as well as to expand our retail channel penetration, we have adopted a non-exclusive retail distribution strategy. This strategy is expected to drive volume through multiple non-exclusive distribution relationships, lower our per unit manufacturing cost, and allow us to penetrate the broader retail market and certain geographic regions that may be underserved under a single exclusive distribution arrangement. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we entered into a non-exclusive distribution arrangement with Kensington, thereby terminating our exclusive distribution agreement. Under this non-exclusive agreement, we have the right to penetrate all channels with multiple partners and Kensington has the right to purchase our products at competitive prices without volume minimums. Kensington is also able to purchase mobile power products from our competitors.

We expect to experience some disruption over the next several quarters as we transition our ChargeSource retail distribution model to one based on non-exclusive relationships with multiple distributors and brands.

OEM-branded accessories. The notebook computer OEMs offer an expansive selection of notebook computer accessories through their on-line retail portals, catalogs, and other channels. Many of these accessories have been designed to OEM specifications to be compatible and/or to complement their specific notebook computers. Typically, the OEMs will brand these products and market them in conjunction with the sale of their notebook computers.

We typically work directly with the OEMs on these designs and products in response to their requests. The desired products are both AC only and AC/DC, as well as with and without programmability. Once generally available, we expect to receive purchase orders from the OEM and deliver the ordered products directly from our contract manufacturer into their supply chain organization. We are currently designing several external power adapters to the specifications of a leading OEM.

OEM “in-the-box.” Notebook computers are typically sold with a conventional AC-only power adapter included with the purchase or “in-the-box.” These “in-the-box” adapters are manufactured for low cost and delivered in quantities of tens of millions per year. As notebook computer power and regulatory requirements increase, the size and weight of the power adapter may also increase. We believe our patented electrical design, which is the basis for our small and light power adapters, can address this large and growing market. As with OEM-branded accessories, we typically work directly with the OEMs on these designs and products in response to their requests. Products designed for this channel must be ultra-low cost and reliable, and must be manufactured in high volume. We are currently in the initial stages of responding to a request for “in-the-box” power adapters from a leading OEM.

Wireless Test Solutions

We market and sell our WTS products primarily to wireless carriers through a direct sales force of technically trained personnel, as well as through independent sales representatives, and affiliated and unaffiliated resellers. Our North America sales are made through our direct sales and marketing organizations located in Lake Forest, California. Sales to our customers in Latin and South America are generally made through our

offices located in Mexico City, Mexico, and Sao Palo, Brazil, assisted by the sales and marketing organizations based in Lake Forest, California. These offices also coordinate the marketing, sales, and support efforts of a network of representatives and resellers responsible for sales to customers in other geographic regions.

Through December 31, 2006, Switzerland-based SwissQual AG (“SwissQual”) was responsible for reselling and supporting our co-branded Seven.Five products in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa (our “European” region). During January 2006, we sold our 18 percent ownership interest, which we acquired during fiscal 2002. See section entitled “Wireless Test Solutions” of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We currently have a revenue sharing agreement in place that determines how much revenue we earn from SwissQual sales and, conversely, how much revenue SwissQual earns from our sales to customers located outside the European region.

During November 2006, in response to increased competition in the QoS market, we announced a cooperative alliance with Ascom (SWX:ASCN), a leading specialist in wireless onsite communications solutions based in Switzerland, to develop, market, and support next-generation wireless network QoS, optimization, and test measurement systems. Together we are currently developing harmonized test and measurement systems and solutions for 3G and 4G wireless standards, accelerating the availability of upgrades to the installed base in Europe and our home markets, while enabling the rapid deployment of new products. These harmonized products and solutions are expected to be available during the second half of fiscal 2008. Additionally, we will share sales and support resources with Ascom on a global basis and we no longer intend to establish a direct sales and support organization for our European region.

Emergency Call Box Systems

We market and sell our call box systems primarily to state and local governmental agencies located in California through a direct sales force located in Lake Forest, California.

Competition

Mobile Power Products (ChargeSource)

Numerous providers, including Delta Electronics, Inc., Mobility Electronics, Inc., Targus, Belkin, Kensington, and APC directly compete for power product market share. The cellular telephone and personal computer OEMs also serve the market for our ChargeSource external power adapters. Many of our competitors are larger and have greater financial resources. We believe that the patents that cover our ChargeSource products provide us with a competitive advantage. However, our ability to compete in these markets depends on our ability to successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner, and to manufacture and deliver low cost products in sufficient volumes.

Wireless Test Solutions

The market for our hardware and software test tools is highly competitive and is served by numerous providers. Our primary competitors with respect to our WTS products are Agilent Technologies, Ascom, Ericsson, Andrew Corporation, and Spirent plc (“Spirent”), through its acquisition of SwissQual. Many of our competitors are larger and have greater financial resources.

The wireless industry is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions, and evolving industry standards. To compete successfully in this market, we believe we must:

•

Properly identify customer needs;

•

Price our products competitively;

•

Innovate and develop new or enhanced products;

•

Successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner;

•

Manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes on time, and

•

Differentiate our offerings from our competitors’ offerings.

Emergency Call Box Systems

The market for our emergency call box systems is also served by numerous competitors, including US Commlink, GAI-Tronics, Talk-A-Phone, and other manufacturers of wireless and wireline emergency and information communication devices. Certain of our competitors are larger and have greater financial resources.

Key Customers

We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers.

Mobile Power Products (ChargeSource)

In fiscal 2007 and 2006, Kensington, our primary distributor of ChargeSource products, accounted for revenue totaling $15.4 million and $11.8 million, or 32 percent and 25 percent of total revenue, respectively. In fiscal 2005, Targus, the former distributor of our mobile power products, accounted for revenue totaling $4.1 million, or 14 percent of total revenue.

Wireless Test Solutions

In fiscal 2007 and 2006, Verizon accounted for revenue totaling $7.0 million and $11.9 million, or 15 percent and 25 percent of total revenue, respectively. In fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, SwissQual, our former exclusive distributor of WTS products in our European region, accounted for $2.5 million, $8.8 million, and $6.6 million, or 5 percent, 19 percent, and 22 percent of total revenue, respectively. In fiscal 2005, TIM Cellular S.A., a wireless carrier based in Brazil, accounted for revenue totaling $4.3 million or 15 percent of total revenue.

Emergency Call Box Systems

Our call box business derives a significant portion of its revenue from state and local governmental agencies. In fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, revenue from these governmental agencies totaled $14.7 million, $8.7 million, and $6.2 million, or 31 percent, 18 percent, and 21 percent of total revenue, respectively.

The spending patterns of Verizon, Kensington, or any of our other key customers can vary significantly from year to year. Any significant reduction in the spending patterns of these customers could adversely affect our revenue, operating results, and cash flows.

International Operations

We sell our ChargeSource and WTS products to customers located throughout the world. In fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, we derived 81 percent, 68 percent, and 53 percent of total revenue, respectively, from customers in the United States and 19 percent, 32 percent, and 47 percent, respectively, from customers in foreign countries, as determined by the “ship to” address. The decrease in the percentage of sales to foreign countries during fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 is primarily due to decreasing sales of our WTS products to SwissQual. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, there were no foreign countries from which we derived more than 10 percent of total revenue. In fiscal 2005, sales to Brazil accounted for $5.6 million, or 19 percent of total revenue.

Research and Development

We sell our products in markets that are characterized by rapid technology changes, frequent new product introductions, and evolving technology standards. Accordingly, we devote significant resources to design and develop new and enhanced products that can be manufactured cost effectively and sold at competitive prices.

During fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 we incurred approximately $5.7 million, $5.5 million, and $5.2 million in research and development expenses. To focus these efforts, we strive to maintain close relationships with our customers and develop products that meet their needs.

As of April 13, 2007, we had approximately 32 engineers and other technical personnel dedicated to our research and development efforts. Generally, our research and development and other engineering efforts are managed and focused on a product-by-product basis, and can generally be characterized as follows:

•

We collaborate closely with our customers and partners to design and manufacture new products or modify existing products to specifications required by our customers;

•

We design and manufacture enhancements and improvements to our existing products in response to our customers’ requests or feedback, and

•

We independently design and build new products in anticipation of the needs of our customers as they transition existing wireless networks to next-generation technologies.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

We maintain one manufacturing facility located in Lake Forest, California, which is ISO-9001:2000 certified. Our manufacturing process involves the final assembly and test of individual components by production technicians. The components used by us consist primarily of printed circuit boards and related assemblies, specialized subassemblies, fabricated housings and chassis, and test mobiles. Most of our components and subassemblies are manufactured by third parties to our specifications and are generally delivered to us for final assembly and test. During fiscal 2005, we ceased manufacturing our ChargeSource products in-house, and transitioned all manufacturing responsibility related to these products to contract manufacturers located in China.

Patents and Intellectual Property

We hold patents that cover key technical aspects of our ChargeSource products. However, we generally rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyrights, and contractual rights to protect our intellectual property embodied in the hardware and software products of our WTS business.

Industry Practices Impacting Working Capital

Existing industry practices that affect working capital and operating cash flow include the level of variability of customer orders relative to the volume of production, vendor lead times, materials availability for critical parts, inventory levels held to achieve rapid customer fulfillment, and provisions of extended payment terms to certain foreign customers.

Currently, we sell our products under purchase orders that are placed with short-term delivery requirements. As a result, we periodically maintain significant levels of inventory of long-lead components in order to meet our obligations. Delays in planned customer orders could result in higher inventory levels and negatively impact our operating results.

Our standard terms require customers to pay for our products in U.S. dollars. For those orders denominated in foreign currencies, we may limit our exposure to losses from foreign currency transactions through forward foreign exchange contracts. To date, sales denominated in foreign currencies have not been significant and we have not entered into any foreign exchange contracts.

Employees

As of April 13, 2007, we employed approximately 120 employees. We believe our employee relations to be good. The majority of our employees are professional or technical personnel who possess training and experience

in engineering, computer science, and management. Our future success depends in large part on our ability to retain key technical, marketing, and management personnel, and to attract and retain qualified employees, particularly the highly skilled radio, design, process, and test engineers involved in the development of new products. Competition for such personnel can be intense, and the loss of key employees, as well as the failure to recruit and train additional technical personnel in a timely manner, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the contribution of our executive officers and other key employees. Our employee stock option plan expired during May 2005. During December 2005, the Board of Directors approved and adopted a new employee equity incentive plan (the “2005 Plan”) covering 450,000 shares of our common stock. The adoption of the 2005 Plan was ratified by the Company’s shareholders at the annual shareholders’ meeting held on June 20, 2006.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from the sale of our WTS products to customers in the wireless communications industry. We are currently experiencing a significant impact caused by widespread industry consolidation including substantial delays in purchasing decisions by our customers and reduced demand for our products. If these market conditions continue, our operating results and financial condition could suffer.

Revenue from the sale of our WTS products accounted for 32 percent of total revenue for fiscal 2007. Wireless carriers are the primary customers for our WTS products. These customers operate in an environment driven by new technology, increased competition, and regulatory change. To compete effectively, the wireless carriers must offer their subscribers lower prices, improved quality of service, and innovative new services. Increasing minutes of use, global subscribers, and data-intensive applications are driving higher capacity utilization of existing networks, requiring wireless carriers around the globe to place a greater emphasis on capital expenditures devoted to their wireless networks. Despite this greater emphasis, current demand for our WTS products has decreased compared to the prior fiscal year driven by widespread industry consolidation, delays in purchasing decisions by our customers, increased competition, and increased pricing pressure. If these market conditions continue, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from the sale and maintenance of emergency call box systems and upgrades to governmental customers that have experienced severe budgetary constraints in the past. If current and planned projects to install or upgrade call box systems are delayed, our operating results and financial condition could suffer.

Revenue from the sale of upgrades and maintenance of our emergency call box systems accounted for 33 percent of total revenue for fiscal 2007. Approximately 86 percent of our call box revenue is derived from state and local governmental agencies in California, which in prior years, experienced severe budgetary constraints. As a result, several of our planned projects to install or upgrade call box systems were delayed. If these adverse budgetary conditions recur, or they experience other events that result in funding constraints, we may face significant reductions in spending by our governmental customers, which would likely adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

A substantial portion of our call box revenue in fiscal 2007 was derived from non-recurring upgrades of emergency call box systems to governmental customers. If we are unable to replace this revenue stream, our operating results and financial condition could suffer.

Approximately $10.0 million of our fiscal 2007 call box revenue was generated from sales of digital and text-telephony upgrades to our installed base of emergency call box systems. During fiscal 2008 we expect to substantially complete the previously awarded digital and TTY upgrade contracts. We expect call box revenue for fiscal 2008 to decrease compared to fiscal 2007.

Failure to adjust our operations due to changing market conditions or failure to accurately estimate demand for our products could adversely affect our operating results.

The spending patterns of many of our WTS customers have been volatile, unpredictable, and driven by market and technological factors that we cannot control or predict. In addition, consumer demand for our ChargeSource mobile power products has been subject to fluctuations as a result of our choices of distribution partners, market acceptance of our products, the timing and size of customer orders, and consumer demand for rechargeable mobile electronic devices. Accordingly, it has been difficult for us to forecast the demand for these products. We also are limited in our ability to quickly adapt our manufacturing and related cost structures because a significant portion of our sales and marketing, design and other engineering, and manufacturing costs are fixed. If customer demand for our WTS and ChargeSource products declines or if we otherwise fail to accurately forecast reduced customer demand, we will likely experience excess capacity, which could adversely affect our operating results. Conversely, if market conditions improve, our manufacturing capacity may not be adequate to fill increased customer demand. As a result, we might not be able to fulfill customer orders in a timely manner, which could adversely affect our customer relationships and operating results.

The ChargeSource and WTS products we make are complex and have short life cycles. If we are unable to rapidly and successfully develop and introduce new products, some of our products may become obsolete and our operating results could suffer.

The wireless communications and consumer electronics industries are characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions, and evolving industry standards. Additionally, our ChargeSource mobile power products have short life cycles, and may become obsolete over relatively short periods of time. Our future success depends on our ability to develop, introduce, and deliver on a timely basis and in sufficient quantity new products, components, and enhancements. The success of any new product offering will depend on several factors, including our ability to:

•

Properly identify customer needs and technological trends;

•

Timely develop new technologies and applications;

•

Price our products and services competitively;

•

Timely manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volume, and

•

Differentiate our products from those of our competitors.

Development of new products requires high levels of innovation from both our engineers and our component suppliers. Development of a new product often requires a substantial investment before we can determine the commercial viability of the product. If we dedicate a significant amount of resources to the development of products that do not achieve broad market acceptance, our operating results may suffer. Our operating results may also be adversely affected due to the timing of product introductions by competitors, especially if a competitor introduces a new product before our own comparable product is ready to be introduced.

The wireless communications and consumer electronics industries are highly competitive, and our profitability will be adversely affected if we are not able to compete effectively.

The wireless communications and consumer electronics industries in which we sell our products are highly competitive in many areas, including the timing of development and introduction of new products, technology, price, quality, customer service, and support. Our competitors range from some of the respective industries’ largest corporations to many relatively small and highly specialized firms. Many of our competitors possess advantages over us, including greater financial and marketing resources, greater name recognition and larger and more established customer and supplier relationships. Our competitors also may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer needs. If we do not have the resources or expertise necessary to compete or to match our competitors or otherwise fail to develop successful strategies to address these competitive disadvantages, we could lose customers and revenue.

The average selling prices of our products may decrease over their sales cycles, especially upon the introduction of new products, which may negatively affect our revenue and operating results.

Our products may experience a reduction in the average selling prices over their respective sales cycles. Further, as we introduce new or next-generation products, sales prices of legacy products may decline substantially. In order to sell products that have a falling average selling price and maintain margins at the same time, we need to continually reduce product and manufacturing costs. There can be no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to reduce these costs. In order to do so, we must carefully manage the price paid for components used in our products, as well as manage our inventory costs to reduce overall product costs. If we are unable to reduce the cost of legacy products as new products are introduced, our average gross margins may decline and adversely affect our operating results.

A significant portion of our revenue is dependent in part upon our relationships with our strategic distribution partners and their performance. If we are unable to successfully manage our relationships with the distributors of our mobile power products, our revenue and operating results could suffer.

Our ChargeSource mobile power products are distributed by Kensington, a tier-one distributor of consumer electronics. Our success will depend in part upon Kensington’s ability and willingness to effectively and widely distribute our ChargeSource products on a non-exclusive basis. If Kensington and our other distributors do not purchase the volume of products that we anticipate, our revenue and results of operations will suffer.

During November 2006, in response to increased competition in the QoS market, we announced a cooperative alliance with Ascom, a leading specialist in wireless onsite communications solutions based in Switzerland, to develop, market, and support next-generation wireless network QoS, optimization, and test measurement systems. Together we are currently developing harmonized test and measurement systems and solutions for 3G and 4G wireless standards, accelerating the availability of upgrades to the installed base in Europe and our home markets, while enabling the rapid deployment of new products. These harmonized products and solutions are expected to be available during the second half of fiscal 2008. Additionally, the companies will share sales and support resources on a global basis. We are unsure as to what long term effect, if any, the alliance with Ascom will have on future sales of our WTS products, particularly in our European region. Our success will depend in part upon our ability to jointly develop products with Ascom, their ability to capture the current installed base in Europe, as well as provide sales and support services in that region. If we are unable to jointly develop and sell harmonized products, our revenue and operating results could suffer.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a limited number of customers, and any loss of, cancellation, or delay in purchases by these customers could cause a significant decrease in our revenue.

We have historically derived a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers. Our three key customers for fiscal 2007 accounted for $25.0 million, or 52 percent of total revenue. If any of our key customers reduces, cancels, or delays orders, and we are not able to develop other customers who purchase products at comparable levels, our revenue could decrease significantly. In addition, any difficulty in collecting amounts due from one or more of our key customers would negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. We expect that a limited number of customers will continue to represent a large percentage of our revenue.

We may experience quality or safety defects in our products that could cause us to institute product recalls, require us to provide replacement products and harm our reputation.

In the course of conducting our business, we experience and attempt to address various quality and safety issues with our products. Often product defects are identified during our design, development, and manufacturing processes, which we are able to correct in a timely manner. Sometimes, defects are identified after introduction and shipment of products. If we are unable to fix defects in a timely manner or adequately address quality control issues, our relationships with our customers may be impaired, our reputation may suffer and we may lose customers. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Economic, political, and other risks associated with our international sales and operations could adversely affect our results of operations.

We currently maintain sales and support operations in the United States, China, Europe, and Latin America. Our international operations accounted for approximately 19 percent of total revenue for fiscal 2007. Accordingly, our business is subject to worldwide economic and market conditions and risks generally associated with doing business abroad, such as fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, weaknesses in the economic conditions in particular countries or regions, the stability of international monetary conditions, tariff and trade policies, domestic and foreign tax policies, foreign governmental regulations, political unrest and disruptions, and delays in shipments. Specifically, our ChargeSource contract manufacturer and a majority of our component suppliers are located in Asia. We do business with our foreign supply base in U.S. dollars. Our costs increase in countries with currencies that are increasing in value against the U.S. dollar. Also, we cannot be sure that our international supply base will continue to accept orders denominated in U.S. dollars. If they do not, our costs will become more directly subject to foreign exchange fluctuations. These factors could adversely affect our sales of products and services in international markets.

Our failure to address laws and regulations governing our government contracts, could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We depend on contracts with state and local governmental agencies for a significant portion of our revenue, and are subject to various laws and regulations that only apply to companies doing business with the government. For example, we supply call box products and provide system installation and long-term maintenance services to regional and municipal transit authorities and other governmental agencies. In fiscal 2007, we derived 31 percent of our revenue from contracts with these governmental customers. From time to time we are also subject to investigation for compliance with regulations governing our government contracts. Our failure to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result in suspension of these contracts, or subject us to administrative claims.

Disruptions in our relationships with our suppliers or in our suppliers’ operations could result in shortages of necessary components and adversely affect our operations.

We currently procure, and expect to continue to procure, certain components from single source manufacturers who provide unique component designs or who meet certain quality and performance requirements. In addition, we sometimes purchase customized components from single sources in order to take advantage of volume pricing discounts. In fiscal 2007, the contract manufacturer of our ChargeSource products provided $10.7 million, or 58 percent of all inventory purchases, and the contract manufacturer of our printed circuit boards provided $4.4 million, or 24 percent of all inventory purchases.

The performance of these suppliers is largely outside of our control. In the past, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, shortages of important single source components. Our suppliers may fail to timely deliver components or provide components of sufficient quality. If this occurs, we may need to adjust both product designs and production schedules, which could result in delays in the production and delivery of products to our customers. These delays or defects could harm our reputation, impair our customer relationships, and adversely affect our operations.

Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation, settlement or licensing costs and expenses or be prevented from selling certain products.

Third parties have claimed, and may in the future claim, that we are infringing their intellectual property rights. These intellectual property infringement claims, whether we ultimately are found to be infringing any third party’s intellectual property rights or not, are time-consuming, costly to defend, and divert resources and management attention away from our operations. Infringement claims by third parties also could subject us to significant damage awards or fines or require us to pay large amounts to settle such claims. Additionally, claims of intellectual property infringement might require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. If we cannot or do not license the

infringed technology on acceptable terms or substitute similar technology from other sources, we could be prevented from or restricted in selling our products containing, or manufactured with, the infringed technology.

Third parties may infringe our intellectual property rights, and we may be required to spend significant resources enforcing these rights or otherwise suffer competitive injury.

Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We generally rely upon patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws in the United States and in certain other countries, and upon confidentiality agreements with our employees, customers, and partners to establish and maintain our intellectual proprietary rights in our proprietary technology. We are required to spend significant resources to monitor and enforce our intellectual property rights; however these rights might not necessarily provide us with a sufficient competitive advantage. Our intellectual proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented by competitors or others. Our employees, customers or partners could breach our confidentiality agreements, for which we may not have an adequate remedy available. We also may not be able to timely detect the infringement of our intellectual property rights, which could harm our competitive position. Finally, the rapid pace of technological change in the wireless communications and consumer electronics industries could make certain of our key proprietary technology obsolete or provide us with less of a competitive advantage.

If we suffer the loss of our manufacturing facility due to catastrophe, our operations would be adversely affected.

We have one manufacturing facility, which is located in Lake Forest, California. Although we carry insurance for property damage, we do not carry insurance or financial reserves for all possible catastrophes, including interruptions or potential losses arising from earthquakes or terrorism. Any significant disruption in our manufacturing operations at the facility, whether due to fire, natural disaster, or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

Additionally, as previously discussed, during fiscal 2005 we transitioned the manufacturing of our ChargeSource products to a contract manufacturer located in China. If any significant disruption occurs in the facility in China, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We depend upon the services of key personnel, and may not be able to attract and retain additional key personnel.

Our success depends to a significant extent on the continued services and experience of our key research, engineering, sales, marketing, and executive personnel. If for any reason our key personnel left our employ and we failed to replace a sufficient number of these personnel, we might not be able to maintain or expand our business. Competition for such highly skilled personnel in our wireless communications and consumer electronics industries is intense, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to hire or re-hire sufficiently qualified personnel in adequate numbers to meet the demand for our products and services. If we are unable to identify, hire, and integrate these skilled personnel in a timely or cost-efficient manner, our operating results could suffer.

We may not be able to successfully integrate future acquisitions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have acquired, and are likely to acquire in the future, businesses, products, and technologies that complement or expand our current operations. Acquisitions could require significant capital investments and require us to integrate with companies that have different cultures, management teams, and business infrastructure. Depending on the size and complexity of an acquisition, our successful integration of the acquisition could depend on several factors, including:

•

Difficulties in assimilating and integrating the operations, products, and workforce of an acquired business;

•

The retention of key employees;

•

Management of facilities and employees in separate geographic areas;

•

The integration or coordination of different research and development and product manufacturing facilities;

•

Successfully converting information and accounting systems, and

•

Diversion of resources and management attention from our other operations.

If market conditions or other factors require us to change our strategic direction, we may fail to realize the expected value from one or more of our acquisitions. Our failure to successfully integrate our acquisitions or realize the expected value from past or future acquisitions could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may need additional capital in the future to fund the growth of our businesses, which we may not be able to obtain or obtain on acceptable terms.

We currently anticipate that our available capital resources and operating income will be sufficient to meet our expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, it is not assured that such resources will be sufficient to fund the long-term growth of our business. In particular, we may experience a negative operating cash flow due to the timing of anticipated sales of our products. We may raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings if such financings become available on favorable terms or we may seek working capital financing under a revolving line of credit. We cannot be certain that any additional financing we may need will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop new products or otherwise respond to competitive pressures, and our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our quarterly operating results are subject to significant fluctuations and, if our operating results decline or are worse than expected, our stock price could fall.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant quarterly fluctuations in revenue and operating results for our three businesses. Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate for many reasons, including:

•

The size and timing of customer orders and shipments;

•

The degree and rate of growth in the markets in which we compete and the accompanying demand for our products;

•

Limitations in our ability to forecast our manufacturing needs;

•

Our ability to introduce, and the timing of our introductions of, new or enhanced products;

•

Product failures and recalls, product quality control problems and associated in-field service support costs;

•

Warranty expenses;

•

Availability and cost of components, and

•

Changes in average sales prices.

Due to these and other factors, our past results are not reliable indicators of our future performance. In addition, a significant portion of our operating expenses is relatively fixed due to sales, engineering, and manufacturing overhead. If we experience a decline in revenue, we may be unable to reduce our fixed costs quickly enough to compensate for the decline, which would magnify the adverse impact of such revenue shortfall on our results of operations. If our operating results decline or are below expectations of securities analysts or investors, the market price of our stock may decline significantly.

Our stock price has been and will likely remain highly volatile.

The stock market in general, and the stock prices of technology and wireless communications companies in particular, have experienced fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry stock price fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock. The market price of our stock has exhibited significant price fluctuations, which makes our stock unsuitable for many investors. Our stock price may also be affected by the following factors:

•

Our quarterly operating results;

•

Changes in the wireless communications and consumer electronics industries;

•

Changes in the economic outlook of the particular markets in which we sell our products and services;

•

The gain or loss of significant customers;

•

Reductions in demand or expectations of future demand by our customers;

•

Changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding us, our competitors, or our customers;

•

The timing and announcements of technological innovations or new products by our competitors or by us, and

•

Other events affecting other companies that investors deem comparable to us.

Our articles of incorporation and shareholder rights plan could make a potential acquisition that is not approved by our board of directors more difficult.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us. Our articles of incorporation prohibit the consummation of a merger, reorganization or recapitalization, sale or lease of a substantial amount of assets with, or issuance of equity securities valued at $2.0 million or more to a stockholder that owns 10 percent or more of our common stock, unless certain requirements relating to board or shareholder approval are met. Our articles of incorporation also prohibit shareholder action by written consent, which could make certain changes of control more difficult by requiring the holding of a special meeting of shareholders for purposes of taking shareholder action.

These provisions in our articles of incorporation could discourage takeover attempts which some shareholders might deem to be in their best interests or in which shareholders would receive a premium for their shares over the then existing market price of our common stock.

In February 2006, our Board of Directors terminated our shareholder rights plan effective January 31, 2007 and adopted a policy that, with certain exceptions, requires the Board of Directors to obtain stockholder approval before adopting any shareholder rights plan in the future.

The trading volume of our common stock often has been limited and may depress the price for our common stock.

The trading volume of our common stock has been and may continue to be limited. Limited trading volume could depress the price for our common stock because fewer analysts may provide coverage for our stock and because investors might be unwilling to pay a higher market price for a stock that is less liquid. In addition, limited trading volume, along with market and industry stock price fluctuations and other factors affecting our operations, could result in greater volatility in the price of our common stock. A significant decline in our stock price, even if temporary, could result in substantial losses for individual shareholders and could subject us to costly and disruptive securities litigation.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our headquarters and manufacturing facility is located in Lake Forest, California. This leased facility consists of approximately 25,000 square feet of office space and approximately 5,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space. The lease for this facility expires in August 2011. We also lease office space and, in some instances, warehouse space in California, New York, China, and Mexico. The leases on these facilities, which are used by our call box and WTS businesses, expire on various dates through October 2009.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business. We believe that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings will not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2007 to a vote of our security holders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of this report on Form 10-K. This report contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements regarding trends, cyclicality, seasonality and growth in the markets we sell into, our strategic direction, expenditures in research and development, contracts, our future effective tax rate, new product introductions, changes to our manufacturing processes, our liquidity position, our ability to generate cash from continuing operations, our expected growth, the potential impact of our adopting new accounting pronouncements, our financial results, revenue generated from international sales, the impact of our enterprise resource planning systems implementation, the impact of our variable cost structure, and the existence or length of an economic recovery that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to certain factors, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A and elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Comarco, Inc., through its subsidiary Comarco Wireless Technologies, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “Comarco,” or the “Company”), is a leading designer and manufacturer of external mobile power adapters used to power and charge notebook computers, mobile phones, PDAs, and many other rechargeable handheld devices. Comarco is also a provider of wireless test solutions for the wireless industry, as well as a provider of emergency call box systems and related maintenance services. Our operations consist solely of the operations of Comarco Wireless Technologies, Inc. (“CWT”).

Our revenue and related cash flows are primarily derived from sales of our ChargeSource mobile power products, wireless test solutions (“WTS”) products, and emergency call box systems and related maintenance services. We have three reportable segments: ChargeSource, WTS, and Call Box. See “Segment Reporting” in Notes 2 and 20 of notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Industry and Company Trends and Uncertainties

Mobile Power Products (ChargeSource)

Designed with the needs of the traveling professional in mind, our ChargeSource external mobile power adapters provide a high level of functionality and compatibility in an industry-leading compact design. Our current and planned ChargeSource product offering consists of external AC/DC, AC, and DC power adapters designed for the right mix of power output and functionality for most retail, OEM, and enterprise customers. Our ChargeSource products are also programmable, allowing those who use rechargeable electronic devices to carry just one power adapter. By simply changing the compact SmartTip connected to the end of the charging cable, our external power adapters are capable of charging and powering multiple devices, including most notebook computers, mobile phones, and many other handheld devices without requiring a peripheral product.

Personal computer manufacturers continue to design and manufacture notebook computers with enhanced functionality and features. These notebook computers generally have greater power requirements. As power requirements increase, so generally does the size of the OEM power adapter sold with each notebook computer. To address this industry wide trend, we have developed a family of compact high-power ChargeSource external power adapters that are compatible with most legacy, current, and planned notebook computers. These new ChargeSource external power adapters are able to deliver up to 120 watts of power in a very small form factor.

Management currently considers the following additional trends, events, and uncertainties to be important to understanding our ChargeSource business:

•

As of January 31, 2007, Kensington, a tier-one distributor of consumer electronics, was the exclusive retail channel distributor of our ChargeSource products and has been the source of the majority of our ChargeSource revenue.

•

During fiscal 2006, we began shipping to Kensington as they obtained product placement within the retail channel.

•

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we entered into a non-exclusive distribution arrangement with Kensington, thereby terminating our exclusive distribution agreement. Under this non-exclusive agreement, we have the right to penetrate all channels with multiple partners and Kensington has the right to purchase our products at competitive prices without volume minimums. Kensington is also able to purchase mobile power products from our competitors.

•

ChargeSource revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased to $3.8 million compared to the prior fiscal quarters. Additionally, we entered the first quarter of fiscal 2008 with a backlog of purchase orders from Kensington totaling approximately $0.2 million. We believe Kensington is currently selling through accumulated inventory of our ChargeSource products.

•

Due to the transition to a non-exclusive distribution model, we expect to experience some disruption over the next several quarters.

•

In response to increased competition, as well as our transition to a non-exclusive distribution model, we expect to achieve lower average selling prices and related gross margins on our ChargeSource products in fiscal 2008.

Wireless Test Solutions

Wireless carriers are the primary customers for our WTS products. These customers operate in an environment driven by new technology, increased competition, and regulatory change. To compete effectively, the wireless carriers must offer their subscribers lower prices, improved quality of service, and innovative new services. Increasing minutes of use, global subscribers, and data-intensive applications are driving higher capacity utilization of existing networks, requiring wireless carriers around the globe to place a greater emphasis on capital expenditures devoted to their wireless networks. Despite this greater emphasis, current demand for our WTS products has decreased compared to the prior fiscal year driven by widespread industry consolidation, delays in purchasing decisions by our customers, increased competition, and increased pricing pressure.

Management currently considers the following additional trends, events, and uncertainties to be important to understanding our WTS business:

•

Sales in North America were down for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. This decrease is primarily due to reduced sales to Verizon Wireless (“Verizon”) during fiscal 2007 as we completed two significant contracts that were awarded during fiscal 2006. While we expect to upgrade Verizon’s Seven.Five voice and data test systems in fiscal 2008, related upgrade revenue is expected to be less than sales of systems to Verizon during fiscal 2007 and 2006.

•

Sales in our European region were down significantly for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. SwissQual, which was acquired by Spirent during January 2006, served as the exclusive reseller of our WTS products in our European region through December 31, 2006. SwissQual is now a direct competitor and is actively marketing competing QoS products globally.

•

installed base in Europe and our home markets, while enabling the rapid deployment of new products. These harmonized products and solutions are expected to be available during the second half of fiscal 2008. Additionally, we will share sales and support resources with Ascom on a global basis and we no longer intend to establish a direct sales and support organization for our European region.

•

We believe our Ascom alliance will enhance our technologies, positioning, and global footprint for sales and support. However, we are unsure as to what long term effect this alliance will have on future sales of our products. Our success will depend in part upon our ability to co-develop harmonized products and solutions under the Ascom alliance.

•

Current demand for our next-generation mobile test equipment continues to be soft across all our regions as wireless carriers delay deployment of capital for such mobile test tools. WTS revenue for fiscal 2007 decreased compared to fiscal 2006, underscoring the challenges of our WTS business, which include a consolidating customer base comprised of a relatively small number of wireless carriers and equipment vendors, as well as uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of anticipated orders from such customer base. Additionally, we expect increased competition in our European region from SwissQual and others. We expect our ability to compete on a global basis to be driven by our ability to offer products that cover all current wireless technologies, as well as the timely integration of new technology and functionality into our product platform.

•

Under the terms of agreements with both SwissQual and Ascom, we are entitled to receive a portion of revenue derived from certain of their respective sales. The amount to be received is dependant upon the customer and corresponding geographic region, the products sold, their configuration, as well as the hardware and software content of the products. These agreements are reciprocal and we are obligated to make payments to the other parties under similar conditions. As a result, it is difficult to predict when we will receive such revenue from the parties, which could impact any one quarter positively or negatively.

•

Through the end of fiscal 2005, revenue attributable to SwissQual sales was deferred until receipt of payment. Commencing with the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we changed our accounting for sales to SwissQual by recognizing revenue on a full accrual basis. This change was made based upon SwissQual’s financial strength and payment history and the lack of our ability to assert financial influence over the operations of SwissQual. WTS revenue for fiscal 2006 was increased by approximately $1.0 million due to this change.

During fiscal 2007, we recorded revenue attributable to Verizon totaling approximately $7.0 million as we completed delivering on a contrract awarded in fiscal 2006 and delivered upgrades to previously purchased systems. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we were awarded a contract from Verizon for our Seven.Five voice and data test systems. Verizon was converting its nationwide wireless network to the CDMA EvDO standard, which is considered to be the U.S. equivalent of 3G, and is utilizing Seven.Five to measure the quality of its network. We began delivering on this contract during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, and we recorded revenue attributable to this contract totaling approximately $6.7 million, excluding amortization of first year maintenance obligations.

Additionally, during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we were awarded an additional contract from Verizon to replace data testing equipment previously sourced from a competitor with our Seven.Five data systems. We delivered on the contract during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and recorded revenue attributable to this contract totaling approximately $3.8 million, excluding amortization of first year maintenance obligations.

The two Verizon contracts discussed above were significant to our WTS business and its operations for fiscal 2007 and 2006. While we currently expect to continue to win new business from Verizon during fiscal 2008, we do not expect this new business to recur at the same level achieved during fiscal 2007 and 2006.

Emergency Call Box Systems

Our emergency call box business designs, manufactures, and maintains emergency call box systems. Our call box products provide emergency communication over existing wireless networks. In addition to call box products, we provide system installation and long-term maintenance services. Currently, there are approximately 10,800 call boxes that we maintain under long-term agreements that expire at various dates through February 2011.

Wireless carriers have begun reallocating spectrum away from analog, or first generation, wireless technologies to digital, or 2G and 2.5G, wireless technologies. As a result, state and local governmental agencies are continuing to upgrade their existing call box systems to digital to maintain the functional efficiencies of their call box systems. Our upgraded call box products, based on 2.5G GSM and CDMA wireless technologies, offer a complete solution of current technology and services at a low cost designed to meet our customers’ needs. During fiscal 2007 and 2006, we executed on multiple upgrade contracts primarily driven by the demand for digital wireless technologies. We expect to substantially complete upgrading the installed base in fiscal 2008.

Management currently considers the following additional trends, events, and uncertainties to be important to understanding our call box business:

•

During fiscal 2007, we upgraded approximately 4,800 call boxes with digital and/or text-telephony technologies and recorded revenue totaling approximately $10.0 million. Such upgrade revenue also included revenue related to retrofit, site mitigation, and call box removal activities performed in conjunction with the upgrade of the call box systems. During fiscal 2006, we upgraded approximately 1,800 call boxes and recorded revenue totaling approximately $3.1 million, which also includes revenue related to retrofit, site mitigation activities, and call box removal activities.

•

During fiscal 2007, we were awarded a contract by Imperial County to upgrade its existing analog call box system with digital and TTY technologies valued at approximately $0.3 million. We commenced work on this contract in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and recorded revenue totaling approximately $0.2 million. We completed this project during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

•

During fiscal 2006, we were awarded a contract by Riverside County to upgrade its existing analog call box system to digital technology. Subsequent to the award, our customer delayed the start of the upgrade project in order to refine the final configuration and scope of the project. During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, we were notified by our customer that the contract will be amended to add TTY devices. We expect to commence work on this project during fiscal 2008.

•

As of January 31, 2007, we maintain approximately 10,800 call boxes under maintenance agreements with terms that range from one to ten years. Certain of our SAFE customers have removed or have indicated that they intend to remove call boxes to reduce the density of the systems and to make funds available for the necessary digital and TTY upgrades. During fiscal 2007 the installed base of call boxes under maintenance contracts was reduced by approximately 1,500 call boxes.

•

During fiscal 2007, the contract to upgrade approximately 1,400 call boxes owned by Capital Valley Regional SAFE (“CVRS”) with digital and TTY technologies was awarded to a competitor. In the event the competitor is able to perform under the upgrade contract, we would cease to provide maintenance services is support of the CVRS call box system during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and thereafter. Service revenue attributable to the CVRS maintenance contracted totaled $0.5 million for fiscal 2007.

•

We currently expect service revenue attributable to maintenance of existing call box systems to total approximately $3.8 million in fiscal 2008.

•

We expect a decline in call box product revenue during fiscal 2008 as we expect to substantially complete the previously awarded digital and TTY upgrade contracts.

•

Current and anticipated projects to upgrade and expand existing call box systems are concentrated with several customers that are agencies of California’s state and local governments, from whom we currently generate approximately 86 percent of our call box revenue. In addition, we believe that the

severe financial challenges experienced by California state government created uncertainty for our governmental customers in California, causing them to delay upgrades and expansions of certain call box systems. While this trend appears to have reversed, as evidenced by the awarded projects discussed above, we continue to be vulnerable to the spending patterns of our customers that are concentrated in California.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to apply accounting policies and make certain estimates and judgments. Our significant accounting policies are presented in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. Of our significant accounting policies, we believe the following involve a higher degree of uncertainty, subjectivity and judgments. These policies involve estimates and judgments that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these estimates and judgments may significantly impact our annual and quarterly operating results. We have identified the following as our most significant critical accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize product revenue upon shipment provided there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Generally, our products are shipped FOB named point of shipment, whether it is Lake Forest, our corporate headquarters, or Hong Kong, the shipping point of our ChargeSource products. Shipments to SwissQual, our former exclusive WTS distributor in Europe, are shipped delivery duties unpaid (“DDU”). Under DDU, title and risk of loss for the goods shipped passes to the buyer at destination.

Our WTS products are integrated with embedded software. Accordingly, we recognize revenue using the residual method pursuant to requirements of Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and other applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. Under the residual method, we allocate revenue to the undelivered element, typically maintenance, based on its respective fair value, with the fair value determined by the price charged when that element is sold separately. We amortize the revenue allocated to the maintenance element evenly over the term of the maintenance commitment made at the time of sale. We expense as incurred the costs associated with honoring the maintenance commitment. The revenue attributable to the delivered product is the residual amount after subtracting the revenue allocated to the undelivered element from the sales price. The revenue attributable to the delivered product is recognized following the policy for product sales described above.

We recognize service revenue as the services are performed. Maintenance revenue from extended warranty sales is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, typically 12 to 48 month periods.

Significant management judgments must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. For our WTS business, management must make judgments, for example, regarding uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance because some orders may include acceptance test provisions that require we defer revenue upon shipment until such time as the client has accepted the equipment. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments.

Stock-based Compensation

Effective February 1, 2006, the start of our fiscal year 2007, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) using the modified prospective method and, therefore, have not revised prior periods’ results for the adoption of this accounting statement. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to be measured based on the award’s fair value on the date of grant, and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period. We currently use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of

our share-based payments. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is based on a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected forfeiture rates, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. If the assumptions change, stock-based compensation may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the past.

For fiscal years 2006 and 2005, stock-based compensation was determined under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for stock-based compensation plans.

Software Development Costs

We had $0.2 million of capitalized software as of January 31, 2007, net of accumulated amortization of $8.2 million. Capitalized software amortization expense is included in cost of revenue. We capitalize software developed for sale or lease in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86 (“SFAS No. 86”), “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Software costs incurred subsequent to the determination of the technological feasibility of the software product are capitalized. Technological feasibility is generally demonstrated by the completion of a working model. Our policy is to capitalize the costs associated with development of new products and expense the costs associated with new releases, which primarily consist of enhancements or increased functionality of software embedded in existing products. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether technological feasibility has been achieved for a particular software project and in estimating the economic life of the related product. Capitalization ceases and amortization of capitalized costs begins when the software product is available for general release to our customers. Each quarter we compare capitalized software development costs to our estimate of projected revenues quarterly to determine if any impairment in value has occurred that would require an adjustment in the carrying value or change in expected useful lives under the guidelines established under SFAS No. 86. We also continually evaluate the recoverability of software acquired through acquisition or by direct purchase of technology.

Accounts Receivable

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits and related terms based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness. We continually monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision 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 concentrated in a relatively few 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 and our future operating results.

Specifically, our management must make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable. Management analyzes specific customer accounts and establishes reserves for uncollectible receivables based upon specific identification of account balances that have indications of uncertainty of collection. Indications of uncertainty of collections may include the customer’s inability to pay, customer dissatisfaction, or other factors. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our losses for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

Valuation of Inventory

We value inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory (calculated on average costs, which approximates first-in, first-out basis) or market value. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a write down of excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on excess quantities

on hand based upon historical and forecasted component usage. As demonstrated during prior periods, 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 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. In the future, if our inventory were determined to be overvalued, we would be required to recognize such costs in our cost of goods sold at the time of such determination. Therefore, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our operating results.

Income Taxes

We are required to estimate our provision for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we conduct business. This process involves estimating our actual current tax expense in conjunction with the evaluation and measurement of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary timing differences result in the establishment of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on a net basis and included in our consolidated balance sheets. We then assess on a periodic basis the probability that our net deferred tax assets, if any, will be recovered. If after evaluating all of the positive and negative evidence, a conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided with a corresponding charge to tax expense to reserve the portion of the deferred tax assets which are estimated to be more likely than not to be realized.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any required valuation allowance. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, as a result of incurring cumulative losses for a three-year period, we established a valuation allowance totaling approximately $2.9 million, or the entire deferred tax asset balance existing as of the beginning of fiscal 2005. This valuation allowance was established based on management’s overall assessment of risks and uncertainties related to our future ability to realize, and hence, utilize certain deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of net operating losses, carry forward temporary differences and future tax deductions resulting from certain types of stock option exercises. Due to the current and prior years’ operating losses, the adjusted net deferred tax assets remain fully reserved as of January 31, 2007.

Valuation of Goodwill

We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Accordingly, we no longer amortize goodwill from acquisitions, but continue to amortize other acquisition-related intangibles and costs. As of January 31, 2006, we had $2.4 million of goodwill recorded in our audited consolidated balance sheet.

Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value generally determined using a discounted cash flow methodology applied to the particular unit. This methodology differs from our previous policy, in accordance with accounting standards existing at that time, of using undiscounted cash flows on an enterprise-wide basis to determine recoverability.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of January 31, 2007, and identified no impairment. The impairment review is based upon a discounted cash flow approach that uses estimates of future market share and revenue and costs for the reporting units, as well as appropriate discount rates. The estimates used are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage the underlying businesses. However, if we fail to deliver new products for these groups, if the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, or if market conditions in the related businesses are unfavorable, revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved and we may incur charges for impairment of goodwill.

For intangible assets with definite useful lives, we amortize the cost over the estimated useful lives and assess any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset in accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” We also annually review the useful lives of each of our intangible assets. As of January 31, 2007, we had $0.8 million of non-goodwill acquired intangible assets recorded in intangible assets, which includes $0.1 million for software rights and $0.7 million for intellectual property rights.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate long-lived assets used in operations, including purchased intangible assets, when indicators of impairment, such as reductions in demand or significant economic slowdowns that negatively impact our customers or markets, are present. Reviews are performed to determine whether the carrying value of assets is impaired based on comparison to the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the comparison indicates that there is impairment, the impaired asset is written down to fair value, which is typically calculated using a weighted average of the market approach and the discounted expected future cash flows using a discount rate based upon our cost of capital. Impairment is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that is used in the preparation of expected discounted cash flows. It is reasonably possible that the estimates of anticipated future net revenue, the remaining estimated economic life of the products and technologies, or both, could differ from those used to assess the recoverability of these assets. In that event, additional impairment charges or shortened useful lives of certain long-lived assets could be required.

Revenue

The fiscal 2007 increase in revenue of $0.9 million compared to fiscal 2006, is attributable to a $4.4 million and $5.7 million increase in sales by our ChargeSource and call box businesses, respectively, offset by a $9.2 million decrease in sales by our WTS business.

The fiscal 2006 increase in revenue of $17.7 million compared to fiscal 2005, is attributable to increased sales from all three of our businesses. The fiscal 2006 increase in revenue for ChargeSource, WTS, and call box businesses totaled $6.5 million, $7.7 million, and $3.4 million, respectively, compared to fiscal 2005. More detailed analysis of the revenue changes appears in the discussion by segments below.

The fiscal 2007 decrease in cost of revenue of $0.3 million compared to fiscal 2006, was attributable to a $0.8 million decrease in amortization of software development, a $1.1 million decrease in ChargeSource inventory charges, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in subcontractor costs in support of our call box upgrades, and the increase in total revenue.

The fiscal 2006 increase in cost of revenue of $9.0 million compared to fiscal 2005, is primarily attributable to the 75 percent volume increase in product revenue. Cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue decreased to 59 percent from 64 percent for fiscal 2005. The fiscal 2006 decrease in cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue was primarily due to the 48 percent volume increase in WTS product revenue compared to fiscal 2005, which typically has higher margins compared to our ChargeSource and call box products.

The fiscal 2007 increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $1.1 million compared to fiscal 2006, was attributable to several factors including:

•

A $0.5 million non-recurring bad debt recovery related to our WTS business recorded in fiscal 2006;

•

The fiscal 2007 increase in legal fees of approximately $0.4 million compared to fiscal 2006, relating to the development and protection of our ChargeSource intellectual property rights, and

•

The fiscal 2007 increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses of approximately $0.2 million compared to fiscal 2006, relating to increased call box personnel costs.

The fiscal 2006 decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $1.0 million compared to fiscal 2005, was attributable to the recovery of bad debt expense related to our WTS business, totaling approximately $0.5 million in fiscal 2006, compared to bad debt expense recorded in fiscal 2005 of approximately the same amount.

Allocated corporate overhead consists of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our accounting and finance, human resources and benefits, and other administrative personnel, as well as professional fees, directors’ fees, and other costs and expenses attributable to being a public company. These costs are typically allocated to our three businesses based on each business’s percentage share of total Company costs and expenses. As a percentage of revenue, allocated corporate overhead remained stable at 11 percent of revenue for both fiscal 2007 and 2006.

While allocated corporate overhead for fiscal 2007 increased by less than $0.1 million compared to fiscal 2006, the specific cost components did fluctuate. In fiscal 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R and

included approximately $0.3 million of non-cash compensation expense in allocated corporate overhead. Additionally, in fiscal 2007 we incurred approximately $0.3 million related to relocating our corporate offices. These fiscal 2007 increases in allocated corporate overhead were offset by a decrease in incentive compensation for our corporate officers totaling $0.5 million compared to fiscal 2006.

The fiscal 2006 increase in allocated corporate overhead of $1.4 million compared to fiscal 2005, was attributable to a $0.5 million increase in consulting fees incurred for Sarbanes-Oxley 404 readiness, a $0.3 million increase in audit and tax professional services expense, and a $0.6 million increase in incentive compensation driven by improved financial results for fiscal 2006.

Gross engineering and support expenses generally consist of salaries, employer paid benefits, and other personnel related costs of our hardware and software design engineers and testing and product support personnel, as well as facility and IT costs, professional and consulting fees, lab costs, material usages, and travel and related costs incurred in the development and support of our products.

The fiscal 2007 increase in engineering and support expenses of $0.3 million compared to fiscal 2006, was primarily attributable to increased WTS engineering costs consisting of wages and related costs, as well as third-party design fees in support of the modification of the Seven.Five QoS software to exclude SwissQual content.

Other Income, net

Other income, net, consists primarily of interest income earned on invested cash balances. Other income, net, was $0.9 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 million in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The increases in fiscal 2007 and 2006 in other income compared to the respective prior fiscal years was due to increases in our cash balances coupled with higher interest rates.

Gain on Sale of Investment in SwissQual and Intangible Asset

As further discussed in the section entitled “Results of Operations—Wireless Test Solutions” during January 2006, we sold our 18 percent interest in SwissQual. Upon the closing of the transaction, we received approximately $6.8 million of the closing consideration, net of transaction costs, and may receive up to an additional $5.4 million of any escrow distribution and contingent consideration. We recorded a gain on sale of investment totaling $6.1 million, which was based on the cash consideration we received. During fiscal 2007, the Company received $1.7 million of contingent consideration, net of $0.1 million of transaction costs, recorded as gain on sale of investment in SwissQual.

Prior to the sale transaction, SwissQual declared and paid a dividend to its then current shareholders. During January 2006, we recorded the approximately $0.4 million dividend declared as a reduction in the cost basis of our investment in SwissQual. Additionally, during December 2005, we sold rights to software to SwissQual for approximately $0.5 million. At the time of the sale, such software rights had an unamortized book value of approximately $0.2 million. Accordingly, we recorded a gain on sale of intangible assets totaling approximately $0.3 million.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any required valuation allowance. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we

established a valuation allowance totaling approximately $2.9 million, or the entire deferred tax asset balance existing as of the beginning of fiscal 2005. This valuation allowance was established based on management’s overall assessment of risks and uncertainties related to our future ability to realize, and hence, utilize certain deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of net operating losses, carry forward temporary differences, and future tax deductions resulting from certain types of stock option exercises. Due to the current and prior years’ operating losses, the adjusted net deferred tax assets remained fully reserved as of January 31, 2007.

During fiscal 2006, we recorded net income of $6.3 million and $0.2 million in AMT income tax expense and utilized approximately $2.8 million of our net operating loss carryforwards. The remaining net deferred tax asset of $3.5 million at January 31, 2006 was fully reserved.

During fiscal 2007, we recorded net income of $1.8 million and recorded $0.4 million in income tax expense, having fully utilized our net operating loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax asset of $4.3 million at January 31, 2007 is fully reserved.

The fiscal 2007 increase in ChargeSource revenue of $4.4 million compared to fiscal 2006, was primarily attributable to an increase in sales to Kensington of $3.6 million. Kensington became our exclusive distributor for the retail channel during the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and we began shipping to Kensington during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 as they achieved product placement in retail. ChargeSource revenue ramped-up during fiscal 2006. First quarter revenue totaled $1.8 million increasing to $4.7 million in the fourth quarter. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2007, ChargeSource revenue ranged between $4.1 million and $4.5 million per quarter. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 ChargeSource revenue decreased to $3.8 million compared to the prior 2007 fiscal quarters. We believe Kensington reduced their orders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 in an effort to reduce their inventory of previously purchased ChargeSource products. As discussed above, this trend continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 during which we did not receive significant orders from Kensington. In April 2007, we entered into a new non-exclusive distribution agreement with Kensington.

The fiscal 2006 increase in ChargeSource revenue of $6.5 million compared to fiscal 2005, is primarily attributable to an increase in sales to Kensington as they achieved placement of our ChargeSource products with “Big Box” retailers.

The fiscal 2007 increase in cost of revenue was attributable to a 36 percent volume increase in revenue compared to fiscal 2006. Cost of revenue for fiscal 2007 and 2006 included scrap and inventory charges totaling $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Due to the revenue volume increase and a $1.1 million decrease in scrap and inventory charges incurred in fiscal 2007, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 71 percent from 86 percent for fiscal 2006. Additionally, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for fiscal 2007 decreased due to improved absorption of fixed manufacturing costs driven by the fiscal 2007 increase in revenue volume compared to fiscal 2006.

The fiscal 2006 increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to a 113 percent volume increase in revenue compared to fiscal 2005. Due to the revenue volume increase and related improved absorption of fixed manufacturing for fiscal 2006, costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 86 percent from

106 percent for fiscal 2005. Cost of revenue for fiscal 2006 and 2005 included scrap and inventory charges totaling $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. These charges were attributable to several factors including:

•

Transitioning our contract manufacturer from a consignment model to turn-key;

•

Write-off of excess inventory and finished goods that were procured and manufactured based on anticipated market demand, and

•

Write-off of finished goods that were manufactured for our former distribution partners.

Excluding these scrap and inventory charges, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 was 75 percent and 87 percent, respectively.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses generally consist of salaries, employer paid benefits, commissions and other personnel related costs of our management, sales, marketing and administrative personnel, facility and IT costs, professional fees, advertising, promotions, printed media, and travel directly attributable to our ChargeSource business.

The fiscal 2007 increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses in fiscal 2007 of $0.3 million compared to fiscal 2006, was primarily attributable to increased legal fees relating to the development and protection of our intellectual property rights.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for fiscal 2006 increased by approximately $0.4 million compared to fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2006 we increased our reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable by approximately $0.2 million, as a result of a voluntary mediation held on April 4, 2006 between Targus and CWT. This additional reserve recorded in fiscal 2006 brings the net receivable balance due from Targus down to $500,000, the amount Targus paid pursuant to an executed settlement agreement. Additionally, during fiscal 2005, we recovered a bad debt expense in the amount of approximately $0.3 million. No similar cost recovery was realized in fiscal 2006.

See the section above entitled “Consolidated” under the caption “Operating Costs and Expenses” for a discussion of allocated corporate overhead.

Gross engineering and support expenses generally consist of salaries, employer paid benefits, and other personnel related costs of our electrical and mechanical design engineers and testing and product support personnel, as well as facility and IT costs, professional and consulting fees, lab costs, material usages, and travel and related costs incurred in the development and support of our ChargeSource business.

The fiscal 2007 decrease in engineering and support expenses of $0.4 million compared to fiscal 2006, was primarily attributable to reduced personnel costs, primarily contract labor, as well as reduced independent lab testing fees. During fiscal 2007, our design and development efforts focused on a single external high-power adapter platform intended to meet the requirements of retail distribution, as well as the notebook computer OEMs. Currently, we expect to release this platform in various configurations during the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

The fiscal 2006 increase in engineering and support expenses of $0.2 million compared to fiscal 2005, was primarily due to the addition of engineering design resources, including employees, temporary labor, and outside design consultants, in support of numerous development programs intended to address the need for external high- and low-power adapters, OEM design and performance requirements, and national and international regulatory requirements.

The fiscal 2007 decrease of product revenue of $9.7 million compared to fiscal 2006 was attributable to decreased sales to Verizon and SwissQual, the former exclusive reseller of our WTS products in our European region. Fiscal 2007 product revenue from Verizon decreased approximately $4.9 million to $7.0 million from $11.9 million for fiscal 2006. As discussed above, we were awarded two significant contracts from Verizon during fiscal 2006 which were completed during fiscal 2006 and 2007. Additionally, fiscal 2007 sales to SwissQual decreased approximately $6.3 million to $2.5 million from $8.8 million for fiscal 2006. Due to the sale of SwissQual to Spirent in January 2006, SwissQual ceased to be our reseller in Europe effective December 31, 2006.

The fiscal 2006 increase in product revenue of $7.9 million compared to fiscal 2005, was primarily due to the two significant contracts from Verizon for the purchase of our Seven.Five voice and data systems. These contracts were significant to our WTS business and its operations for fiscal 2006 and were primarily responsible

for the fiscal 2006 revenue increase in our North American region, which increased 249 percent compared to fiscal 2005. Revenue in fiscal 2006 derived from our customers in Latin America/South America decreased 55 percent compared to fiscal 2005. This decrease highlights that the wireless industry is composed of a relatively small number of wireless carriers and equipment vendors, which can lead to volatility in our results and that our business is characterized by sales to a limited set of customers in each region where we do business. The timing and size of customer orders can vary greatly making it difficult to forecast our results from period to period. Consequently, our WTS business is affected in any single region by the priorities of a small group of customers.

The fiscal 2007 decrease in cost of revenue was attributable to the 40 percent volume decrease in product revenue compared to fiscal 2006, as well as other factors. Cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue decreased to 35 percent from 45 percent for fiscal 2006. The fiscal 2007 decrease in cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue was due to the following factors:

•

Cost of product revenue for fiscal 2007 and 2006 included approximately $0.5 million and $1.1 million of incremental allocated fixed manufacturing costs, respectively, resulting in a fiscal 2007 decrease of approximately $0.6 million compared to fiscal 2006. This decrease was driven by the decrease in product revenue for fiscal 2007;

•

We typically achieve a lower net revenue on sales to SwissQual due to required revenue sharing under the distribution and sales agreement. For fiscal 2007, sales to SwissQual as a percentage of total WTS revenue decreased to 17 percent from 36 percent for fiscal 2006;

•

During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2007, we shipped several higher-margin Seven.Five upgrade orders. No similar upgrade orders were shipped during fiscal 2006, and

•

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded approximately $1.1 million in revenue sharing from SwissQual under the distribution and sales agreement. The related products sold had no cost borne by us and increased our gross profit by the revenue sharing received.

The fiscal 2006 increase in cost of revenue was attributable to a 48 percent volume increase in product revenue compared to fiscal 2005, as well as other factors. Cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue decreased to 45 percent from 50 percent for fiscal 2005. The fiscal 2006 decrease in cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue was due to the following factors:

•

Increased year-over-year sales in North America made by our direct sales force, which provided increased net revenue to Comarco on sales of our Seven.Five products as compared to sales made by SwissQual in our European region. For fiscal 2006, sales to SwissQual as a percentage of total WTS revenue decreased to 36 percent from 39 percent for fiscal 2005;

•

No sales of third-party non-core products with lower gross margins during fiscal 2006, and

•

Increased absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead attributable to increased manufacturing activity experienced by our other two segments.

Fiscal 2007 and 2006 amortization of previously capitalized software development costs, which totaled approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, is currently expected to be approximately $0.2 million for fiscal 2008, which will fully amortize the remaining net capitalized software development costs existing as of January 31, 2007.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses generally consist of salaries, employer paid benefits, commissions and other personnel related costs of our sales, marketing and support personnel, facility and IT costs, professional fees, advertising, promotions, printed media, and travel directly attributable to our WTS business.

The fiscal 2007 increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $0.6 million compared to fiscal 2006, was attributable to a $0.5 million non-recurring bad debt recovery recorded in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2007, we recorded approximately $0.1 million in bad debt expense to reserve potentially uncollectible accounts receivable.

The fiscal 2006 decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $1.3 million compared to fiscal 2005, was due to the following factors:

•

During fiscal 2006, we collected bad debts totaling approximately $0.5 million, which were previously reserved during the prior fiscal year, and

•

Fiscal 2005 included a $0.4 million charge recognized in settlement of a dispute with a significant customer based in Latin America.

Excluding these charges and subsequent collections of bad debts, selling, general, and administrative expenses in fiscal 2006 were comparable to fiscal 2005.

See the section above entitled “Consolidated” under the caption “Operating Costs and Expenses” for a discussion of allocated corporate overhead.

The fiscal 2007 increase in gross engineering and support costs of $0.8 million compared to fiscal 2006, was primarily attributable to increased WTS engineering costs consisting of wages and related costs, as well as third-party design fees in support of the effort to modify the Seven.Five QoS software to exclude SwissQual content. The fiscal 2007 increase in wages and related costs, and third-party design fees totaled approximately $0.5 million compared to fiscal 2006.

We capitalize costs incurred for the development of software embedded in our WTS products subsequent to establishing technological feasibility. These capitalized costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenue and changes in hardware and software technologies. Costs that are capitalized include direct labor and related overhead. We did not capitalize any software development costs in fiscal 2007 and 2006 as we completed the development of the software embedded in our Seven.Five product platform during the first half of fiscal 2004. Currently, we do not expect to capitalize software development costs during fiscal 2008.

During January 2006, Spirent acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of SwissQual, including our 18 percent ownership interest, for consideration totaling up to approximately $71.3 million. Approximately $37.6 million in cash was paid at the close of the transaction, which is net of $2.5 million of transaction costs, with an additional $9.1 million put into escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations. The escrowed consideration is expected to be released within 24 months of the close. In addition, up to $22.1 million in contingent consideration may be paid within 24 months upon satisfaction of certain performance and other requirements. Upon the closing of the transaction, we received approximately $6.8 million of the closing consideration, which is net of $0.5 million of transaction costs, for our 18 percent ownership interest in SwissQual and may receive up to an additional $5.4 million of any escrow distribution and contingent consideration. During January 2006, we recorded a gain on sale of investment totaling $6.1 million, which was based on the cash consideration we received.

During fiscal 2007, we received $1.7 million of contingent consideration net of $0.1 million of transaction costs, recorded as gain on sale of investment in SwissQual. Due to uncertainty as to timing and amount of any escrow distribution and remaining contingent consideration, we will record an additional gain only when the contingencies have lapsed and the funds are probable of receipt.

Prior to the acquisition, SwissQual declared and paid a dividend to the then current shareholders. During January 2006, we recorded the approximately $0.4 million dividend declared as a reduction in the cost basis of our investment in SwissQual. Additionally, during December 2005, we sold rights to software to SwissQual for approximately $0.5 million. At the time of the sale, such software rights had an unamortized book value of approximately $0.2 million. Accordingly, we recorded a gain on sale of the intangible asset totaling approximately $0.3 million.

The gain on sale of investment in SwissQual and intangible asset is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Revenue

The fiscal 2007 increase in call box product revenue of $5.7 million compared to fiscal 2006, was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of digital and TTY upgrades to our installed base of call box systems under maintenance contracts. As discussed above, during fiscal 2007, we upgraded approximately 4,800 call boxes with digital and/or TTY technologies and recorded revenue totaling approximately $10.0 million. Such upgrade revenue also included revenue related to retrofit, site mitigation, and call box removal activities performed in conjunction with the upgrade of the call box systems. For fiscal 2006 we upgraded approximately 1,800 call boxes and recorded revenue totaling approximately $3.1 million, which also includes revenue related to retrofit, site mitigation activities, and call box removal activities. Non-upgrade revenue for fiscal 2007 and 2006 totaled

approximately $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. During fiscal 2006, we sold 218 new digital and TTY call boxes valued at approximately $1.2 million to a customer in Hawaii. We do not maintain this call box system.

The fiscal 2006 increase in call box product revenue of $3.7 million compared to fiscal 2005, was primarily attributable to sales of digital and TTY upgrades to our installed base of call box systems under maintenance contracts. Upgrade activity during fiscal 2005 was minor.

The fiscal 2007 increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to a 101 percent volume increase in product revenue compared to fiscal 2006. Cost of product revenue for fiscal 2007 included approximately $0.6 million of incremental subcontractor costs compared to fiscal 2006. Due to the significant increase in upgrade activities during fiscal 2007, we utilized third parties to perform certain upgrade installation, site mitigation, and retrofit work to a much greater extent compared to fiscal 2006. Also driven by the significant increase in upgrade activity during fiscal 2007, we incurred approximately $0.8 million of incremental allocated fixed manufacturing costs compared to fiscal 2006. During fiscal 2007, more of our manufacturing resources were utilized to meet the increased demand for call box upgrades which increased the allocation of such costs to call box cost of product revenue. As a result, cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue for fiscal 2007 increased to 72 percent from 60 percent for fiscal 2006. Excluding the incremental subcontractor costs and allocated fixed manufacturing costs discussed above, cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue for fiscal 2007 was 60 percent and consistent with fiscal 2006.

The fiscal 2006 increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to a 197 percent volume increase in product revenue compared to fiscal 2005. Cost of product revenue for fiscal 2006 included a $0.3 million inventory charge to write down excess and obsolete inventory to market value based on current and future market demand. There was no such charge incurred during fiscal 2005. As a result, cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue for fiscal 2006 increased to 60 percent from 54 percent for fiscal 2005. Excluding the fiscal 2006 inventory charge, cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue for fiscal 2006 was

54 percent and consistent with fiscal 2005. As a percentage of service revenue, cost of service revenue in fiscal 2006 decreased to 70 percent from 73 percent for fiscal 2005. While service revenue for fiscal 2006 decreased by approximately $0.3 million compared to fiscal 2005, material usage in support of service revenue decreased by approximately the same amount. This decrease in fiscal 2006 was due to several factors including a reduced number of damaged call boxes repaired under flat rate maintenance contracts.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses generally consist of salaries, employer paid benefits, commissions and other personnel related costs of our management, inside sales, and administrative personnel, facility and IT costs, professional fees, advertising, promotions, printed media, and travel directly attributable to our call box business.

The fiscal 2007 increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $0.2 million compared to fiscal 2006, was primarily related to increased personnel costs. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general, and administrative expenses remained flat at 3 percent of revenue compared to fiscal 2006.

See the section above entitled “Consolidated” under the caption “Operating Costs and Expenses” for a discussion of allocated corporate overhead.

The fiscal 2007 decrease in engineering and support expenses of $0.1 million compared to fiscal 2006, was due to decreased product development activity during fiscal 2007 and reduced consumption of development material. The redesign of our TTY upgrade device was substantially completed during fiscal 2006.

Business Outlook

Fiscal 2008 is expected to be a year of transition. We currently expect to continue to transition the retail distribution of our ChargeSource products to multiple distribution partners under non-exclusive distribution agreements. Shipments to Kensington under a recently executed non-exclusive distribution agreement are expected to commence during the second half of fiscal 2008. Additionally, fiscal 2008 revenue from sales to Kensington are expected to be significantly less than achieved during fiscal 2007.

We are currently developing two ChargeSource products specifically for a leading OEM of notebook computers to be branded and marketed by the OEM in conjunction with the sale of notebook computers. If

successful, we expect to go into volume production during the second half of fiscal 2008. Our ChargeSource business is also responding to interest from the leading OEMs for small form factor power adapters to be sold “in-the-box” with notebook computers. It is difficult to predict the timing and amount of any revenue attributable to this “in-the-box” initiative. However, we are in negotiations with tier-one electronics contract manufactures to enable us to execute on these highly price-competitive high volume opportunities.

During fiscal 2007, demand for our WTS products decreased compared to the prior fiscal year due to widespread industry consolidation, delays in purchasing decisions by customers, primarily wireless carriers, and increased competition and price pressure. It is difficult to predict when these negative trends will abate or improve. While it may take several quarters for market demand to recover, we continue to develop the next-generation 3G and 4G wireless network optimization and QoS systems through our alliance with Ascom AG, a leading Swiss company with the largest installed base of wireless QoS systems in the world. These new products are expected to be available for sale during the second half of fiscal 2008. We currently expect WTS revenue for fiscal 2008 to be less than WTS revenue for fiscal 2007.

During fiscal 2008, our call box business is expected to substantially complete the digital and TTY upgrade contracts awarded in the prior fiscal years. As a significant portion of the installed base was upgraded during fiscal 2007, we expect call box revenue for fiscal 2008 to decrease compared to fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2007, the amount and timing of call upgrade revenue was impacted by customer delays. Upgrade contracts expected to be completed during fiscal 2008 could also be subject to customer delays.

Discontinued Operations

On January 6, 2004, we sold the net assets of our reporting unit EDX. This reporting unit was formerly included in the wireless test solutions segment, and has been classified as discontinued operations.

Income from discontinued operations was $596,000 for fiscal 2004, which includes income from operations of $258,000 on revenue of $1.1 million, plus an after-tax gain of $319,000 on the sale of EDX.

Additionally, during fiscal 2001, we sold our defense and commercial staffing businesses, the non-wireless businesses.

In fiscal 2005, we recorded income of $325,000 related primarily to the release of indemnification provisions provided by the terms of one of these sale transactions.

In fiscal 2006, we recorded expense of $45,000, primarily related to workers compensation expenses related to the staffing business. As of January 31, 2006, all estimated exit costs of the sale of both EDX and the non-wireless businesses have been utilized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table is a summary of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


	Years Ended January 31,
	2007			2006		2005
	(In thousands)
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	2,986		$	7,257	$	(1,814	)
Investing activities		(2,107	)		6,487		(1,333	)
Financing activities		(536	)		3		370

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities of $3.0 million in fiscal 2007 related to net income of $1.8 million as well as non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, FAS No. 123R compensation expense, and inventory

reserves of $3.1 million, $0.6 million, and $0.6 million, respectively, and a decrease in inventory of $2.6 million offset by the current year gain on sale of SwissQual of $1.7 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $3.1 million, and an increase in accounts receivable of $1.2 million. The decrease in accrued liabilities relates primarily to the payout of fiscal 2006 accrued bonuses of $1.2 million and a reduction in accrued uninvoiced receipts for inventory purchases.

Previously, we included cash flows from discontinued operations as a single amount in our consolidated statement of cash flows. In fiscal 2006, we separately disclosed the components of cash flows of discontinued operations, reconciled operating cash flows from net income rather than income from continuing operations, and restated our statements of cash flows for fiscal 2005 to conform to the current presentation.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

We purchased $3.2 million of property and equipment in fiscal 2007 compared to $0.8 million of property and equipment in fiscal 2006 and $1.3 million in fiscal 2005. The increase in current year capital expenditures of $2.4 million relates primarily to tenant improvements of $1.4 million made relating to our corporate relocation as well as equipment built for a revenue sharing contract with one of our WTS customers. The decrease in fiscal 2006 is primarily due to transitioning manufacturing of our ChargeSource products from in-house to a contract manufacturer located in China. Accordingly, we no longer have requirements to acquire, upgrade, and maintain ChargeSource production equipment. Additionally, we have outsourced the design of non-critical components to our supply chain located in Asia, which has reduced our on-going investment in tooling.

During the first half of fiscal 2004, we completed the software development of our Seven.Five product platform, which is compatible with all 2G, 2.5G, and 3G wireless technologies. During fiscal 2005 and subsequent to the completion of the development program, we transitioned into a maintenance mode. Accordingly, we capitalized no software development costs in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005. In fiscal 2004, we capitalized software development costs totaling $2.8 million. Currently, we do not expect to capitalize any software development in fiscal 2008 as our Seven.Five product platform is a modular solution that can be upgraded for new wireless technologies and configured for all wireless carriers irrespective of the wireless technologies deployed. In conjunction with the development and maintenance of Seven.Five, we expended $0.1 million, $0.3 million, and $0.1 million in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, on rights to various wireless technologies.

During January 2006, we sold our 18 percent interest in SwissQual to Spirent. See the “Wireless Test Solutions” section of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Prior to the acquisition by Spirent, SwissQual declared and paid a dividend to its then current shareholders. During January 2006, we recorded the approximately $0.4 million dividend declared as a reduction in the cost basis of our investment in SwissQual. As of January 31, 2006, we received approximately $0.3 million, net of $0.1 million withheld by Swiss tax authorities which was recaptured in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Additionally, during December 2005, we sold rights to software to SwissQual for approximately $0.5 million. At the time of the sale, such software rights had an unamortized book value of approximately $0.2 million. Accordingly, we recorded a gain on sale of intangible assets totaling approximately $0.3 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During 1992, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 3.0 million shares of our common stock. From program inception through January 31, 2007, we repurchased approximately 2.6 million shares for an average price of $8.24 per share.

During fiscal 2007, we repurchased approximately 58,000 shares in the open market for a total cost of approximately $0.5 million, or an average price of $9.17 per share. During fiscal 2006 we had no stock

repurchases. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.4 million in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2005 proceeds from the sales of common stock issued through employee and director stock option plans constituted all of our cash flows from financing activities.

Subsequent to January 31, 2007 we declared a special dividend of $1.00 per share to shareholders of record on April 5, 2007, paid on April 23, 2007. The amount paid was approximately $7.4 million.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances will provide us sufficient funds to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. In addition to our cash and cash equivalent balances, we expect to derive a portion of our liquidity from our cash flows from operations. As discussed above, certain factors and events could negatively affect our cash flows from operations, including:

•

In conjunction with our alliance with Ascom, we are currently developing harmonized test and measurement systems. In the event we experience delays in development and deployment of new products we may experience a significant reduction in revenue, operating results and cash flows.

•

Due to the uncertainties associated with the spending patterns of our customers and the corresponding demand for our WTS products, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience significant fluctuations in demand. Such fluctuations have caused and may continue to cause significant reductions in revenue, operating results, and cash flows.

•

In the event Kensington or any other distributors of our ChargeSource products, are unable to perform under their non-cancelable commitments due to their inability to take delivery of the products and/or pay for such products in a timely manner, we would be required to establish alternative distribution channels. Such significant change would negatively impact our revenue, operating results, and cash flows.

•

Should the contract manufacturer of our ChargeSource products become unable to manufacture our ChargeSource products at the level currently anticipated, our operating results and cash flows would be negatively impacted.

We are focused on preserving our cash balances by continuously monitoring expenses, identifying cost savings, and investing only in those development programs and products most likely to contribute to our profitability.

Contractual Obligations

In the course of our business operations, we incur certain commitments to make future payments under contracts such as operating leases and purchase orders. Payments under these contracts are summarized as follows as of January 31, 2007 (in thousands):


	Payments due by Period
	Less than 1 year		1 to 3 years		3 to 5 years		Total

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We will adopt this pronouncement beginning in fiscal year 2008 and such adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires the use of a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and disclosures regarding uncertainties in income tax positions. We are required to adopt FIN 48 effective February 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of initially adopting FIN 48 is to record an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption and should be presented separately. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of the Interpretation on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This new standard establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards that permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. Statement No. 157 also expands financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair value measurements, including the effect of such measures on earnings. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. While we are currently evaluating the provisions of Statement No. 157, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 requires that public companies utilize a “dual-approach” to assess the quantitative effects of financial misstatements. This dual approach includes both an income statement focused assessment and a balance sheet focused assessment. The guidance in SAB 108 must be applied to annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This standard amends SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities,” with respect to accounting for a transfer to the trading category for all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities electing the fair value option. This standard allows companies to elect fair value accounting for many financial instruments and other items that currently are not required to be accounted as such, allows different applications for electing the option for a single item or groups of items, and requires disclosures to facilitate comparisons of similar assets and liabilities that are accounted for differently in relation to the fair value option. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for us is fiscal 2009. We do not expect SFAS 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Currency Risk

We are exposed to the risk of changes in currency exchange rates. As of January 31, 2007, we had no material accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies. Our standard terms require customers to pay for our products and services in U.S. dollars. For those orders denominated in foreign currencies, we may limit our exposure to losses from foreign currency transactions through forward foreign exchange contracts. To date, sales denominated in foreign currencies have not been significant and we have not entered into any foreign exchange contracts.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities that we have invested in may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the prevailing interest rate later rises, the principal amount of our investment will probably decline in value. To minimize this risk, we maintain a significant portion of our cash balances in money market funds. In general, money market funds are not subject to interest rate risk because the interest paid on such funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate.

We do not hold any derivative financial instruments.

Our cash and cash equivalents have maturities dates of three months or less and the fair value approximates the carrying value in our consolidated financial statements.

Equity Price Risk

Our short-term investments consist of balances maintained in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan funded by our executives and directors. We value these investments using the closing market value for the last day of each month. These investments are subject to market price volatility. We reflect these investments on our balance sheet at their market value, with the unrealized gains and losses reflected as adjustments to both short-term investments and the deferred compensation liability.

Due to the inherent risk associated with some of our investments, and in light of current stock market conditions, we may incur future losses on the sales, write-downs, or write-offs of our investments. We do not currently hedge against equity price changes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Comarco, Inc.

Lake Forest, California:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Comarco, Inc. as of January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 31, 2007. We have also audited the information in the schedule listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Comarco, Inc. at January 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted, effective February 1, 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”

Also, in our opinion, the information in the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

1.	Organization

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Comarco, Inc. and CWT. All material intercompany balances, transactions, and profits have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the years reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Certain accounting principles require subjective and complex judgments to be used in the preparation of financial statements. Accordingly, a different financial presentation could result depending on the judgments, estimates, or assumptions that are used. Such estimates and assumptions include, but are not specifically limited to, those required in the valuation of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory obsolescence, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment of products provided there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company’s wireless test solutions products are integrated with embedded software. Accordingly, the Company’s revenue is recognized using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and other applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. Under the residual method, revenue is allocated to the undelivered element, typically maintenance, based on its respective fair value, with the fair value determined by the price charged when that element is sold separately. The revenue allocated to the maintenance element is amortized to revenue evenly over the term of the maintenance commitment made at the time of the sale. The costs associated with honoring the maintenance commitment are charged to expense as incurred. The revenue attributable to the delivered product is the residual amount after subtracting the revenue allocated to the undelivered element from the sales price. The revenue attributable to the delivered product is recognized following the policy for product sales described above.

Revenue from services is recognized as the services are performed. Maintenance revenue from extended warranty sales is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with remaining maturity dates of three months or less when acquired are classified as cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the amounts shown in the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents are generally maintained in uninsured accounts.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments consist of balances maintained in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan funded by Company executives and directors. These investments are tradable at the discretion of the funding executives and directors and are subject to claims by the Company’s general creditors. Accordingly, these investments are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at market value based on current market quotes and totaled $0.9 million and $1.2 million as of January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Unrealized holding gains on these short-term investments recorded for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $127,000, $54,000, and $100,000, respectively, and are reflected as adjustments to both short-term investments and the deferred compensation liability.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (calculated on average cost, which approximates first-in, first-out basis) or market value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Additions, improvements, and major renewals are capitalized; maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the property and equipment. The expected useful lives of office furnishings and fixtures are five to seven years, and of equipment and purchased software are two to five years.

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and are included in engineering and support costs. During fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 we incurred approximately $5.7 million, $5.5 million, and $5.2 million in research and development expense. Costs incurred for the development of software embedded in the Company’s wireless test solutions products that will be sold are capitalized when technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility is generally demonstrated by the completion of a working model. These capitalized costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenue and changes in hardware and software technologies. Costs that are capitalized include direct labor and related overhead.

Amortization of software development costs begins when the product is available for general release. Amortization is provided on a product-by-product basis on the shorter of the straight-line method over periods ranging from two to five years or the sales ratio method that is based on expected unit sales and the estimated life of the product. Unamortized software development costs determined to be in excess of net realizable value of the related product is expensed immediately.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination, is recorded at cost.

COMARCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Effective February 1, 2002, the Company implemented SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 established new standards for goodwill acquired in a business combination, eliminated amortization of goodwill, and set forth methods for periodically evaluating goodwill for impairment. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value generally determined using a discounted cash flow methodology applied to the particular unit. This methodology differs from the Company’s previous policy, in accordance with accounting standards existing at that time, of using undiscounted cash flows on an enterprise-wide basis under SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of” to determine recoverability. An annual impairment review is performed during the fourth quarter of each year. At January 31, 2007, the Company identified no impairment.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company evaluates long-lived assets, including intangible assets other than goodwill, for impairment when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. If such assets are identified to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairments were identified during the year ended January 31, 2007.

Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.

Investment in SwissQual

On July 31, 2001, the Company acquired an 18 percent equity stake in SwissQual for $1.0 million in cash. Based in Zuchwil, Switzerland, SwissQual is a developer of voice quality systems and software for measuring, monitoring, and optimizing the quality of mobile, fixed, and IP-based voice and data communications. On January 24, 2006, the Company sold its 18 percent minority interest in SwissQual (see Note 4).

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements the Company is required to estimate its provision for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it conducts business. This process involves estimating the Company’s actual current tax expense in conjunction with the evaluation and measurement of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary timing differences result in the establishment of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on a net basis and included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. On a periodic basis, the Company assesses the probability that its net deferred tax assets, if any, will be recovered. If after evaluating all of the positive and negative evidence, a conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided with a corresponding charge to tax expense to reserve the portion of the deferred tax assets which are estimated to be more likely than not to be realized.

Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any required valuation allowance. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, as a result of incurring cumulative losses for a three-year period, the Company established a valuation allowance

COMARCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

totaling approximately $2.9 million, or the entire deferred tax asset balance existing as of the beginning of fiscal 2005. This valuation allowance was established based on management’s overall assessment of risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s future ability to realize, and hence, utilize certain deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of net operating losses, carry forward temporary differences and future tax deductions resulting from certain types of stock option exercises. Due to the current and prior years’ operating losses, the adjusted net deferred tax assets remain fully reserved as of January 31, 2007.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $446,000 due to the generation of refund claims created upon completion of fiscal 2004 corporate tax returns in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

During fiscal 2006, the Company recorded net income of $6.3 million and utilized approximately $2.8 million of its net operating loss carryforwards. The remaining net deferred tax asset of $3.5 million at January 31, 2006 was fully reserved.

During fiscal 2007, the Company recorded net income of $1.8 million, utilized its remaining federal and California net operating loss carryforwards, and recorded income tax expense of $350,000. The remaining net deferred tax asset of $4.3 million, at January 31, 2007, continues to be fully reserved.

Warranty Costs

The Company provides limited warranties for new call box sales for a period of 90 days and ChargeSource products for a period generally not to exceed 15 months. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The accrual is a fixed rate which is consistent with the Company’s actual claim experience. Should actual warranty claim rates differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the liability would be required.

The Company generally provides a one year warranty for wireless test solutions products. As discussed above, the revenue allocated to maintenance is amortized to revenue evenly over the term of the maintenance commitment made at the time of the sale. The costs associated with honoring the maintenance commitment are charged to expense as incurred.

Minority Interest

As discussed further in Note 15, the Company has a subsidiary stock option plan whereby officers and employees of CWT may be granted options to purchase common stock of CWT. During, fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 no options were granted under the subsidiary option plan. During fiscal 2007 and 2006 no options were exercised and, accordingly, no minority interest in earnings was recorded in those years. During fiscal 2005, the Company issued 30,000 shares of CWT stock from the exercise of CWT stock options and acquired 66,000 minority shares of CWT through the issuance of 92,668 shares of Company common stock. Under the purchase method of accounting, the excess price of $456,000 during fiscal 2005 of the minority interest in CWT over the fair value of the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets of CWT has been recognized as definite-lived intangible assets attributable to intellectual property rights. There are 3,000 options outstanding under the subsidiary option plan as of January 31, 2007.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are principally on deposit in a non-insured short-term asset management account at a large financial institution. Accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s customer base is comprised primarily of large companies (see

COMARCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Note 6). The Company generally does not require collateral for accounts receivable. When required, the Company maintains allowances for credit losses, and to date such losses have been within management’s expectations. Once a specific account receivable has been reserved for as potentially uncollectible, the Company’s policy is to continue to pursue collections for a period of up to one year prior to recording a receivable write-off.

Segment Reporting

The Company follows SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” which establishes standards for the manner in which public companies report information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on the way management organizes the operating segments within a company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performances. The Company organizes its segment reporting on the basis of product/service type.

The Company operates in three business segments: wireless test solutions, call box, and mobile power products.

The Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) is its chief operating decision-maker. The financial information that the CEO reviews to manage and evaluate the business and allocate resources is similar to the information presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income focusing on revenues and gross profit for each segment.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding the dilutive effect of potential common stock, which consists of stock options. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The effect of such potential common stock is computed using the treasury stock method (see Note 16).

COMARCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. Prior to February 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock option grants using the intrinsic method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized for the stock option grants. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards during the years ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss), basic income (loss) per share, and diluted income (loss) per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):


	Years Ended January 31,
	2006			2005
Net income (loss):
As reported	$	6,331		$	(10,056	)
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects		(275	)		(472	)

Pro forma	$	6,056		$	(10,528	)

Income (loss) per common share—basic:
As reported	$	0.85		$	(1.37	)
Pro forma		0.82			(1.44	)
Income (loss) per common share—diluted:
As reported	$	0.85		$	(1.37	)
Pro forma		0.82			(1.44	)

The per share weighted-average fair value of employee and director stock options granted during the years ended January 31, 2006 and 2005 was $4.23 and $4.08, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Years Ended January 31,
	2006		2005
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%	0.0	%
Expected volatility	50.1	%	46.9	%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	3.8	%	3.8	%
Expected life (in years)	6		6
Expected forfeitures	10	%	10	%

As of February 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123R”) using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Company’s valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123, and requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the estimated volatility of the common stock price over the expected term, and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). Changes in these subjective

COMARCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related amount recognized as an expense on the consolidated statements of operations. As required under the accounting rules, the Company reviews its valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, is likely to change its valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ from the Company’s current estimates. Prior periods have not been restated to incorporate the stock-based compensation charge.

The per share weighted-average fair value of employee and director stock options granted during the year ended January 31, 2007 was $5.36 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Year Ended January 31, 2007
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%
Expected volatility	44.2	%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	4.8	%
Expected life (in years)	6.1
Expected forfeitures	10.6	%

The compensation expense recognized in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R was $555,000 for the year ended January 31, 2007. Thus, the diluted income per share decreased by $0.06 for the year ended January 31, 2007. There was no impact on cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. The total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized is approximately $1.0 million, which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining life of 19.1 months.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments have been determined using available market information. The estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair value of current financial assets, current liabilities, and other assets are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts.

Reclassifications

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

Comprehensive Income

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements to reflect net unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities, net of income tax. The Company had no unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities and therefore there was no difference between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

COMARCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

3.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments,” which amends SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company will adopt this pronouncement beginning in fiscal year 2008 and such adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires the use of a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and disclosures regarding uncertainties in income tax positions. The Company is required to adopt FIN 48 effective February 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of initially adopting FIN 48 is to record an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption and should be presented separately. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of the Interpretation on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This new standard establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards that permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. Statement No. 157 also expands financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair value measurements, including the effect of such measures on earnings. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. While the Company is currently evaluating the provisions of Statement No. 157, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”. SAB 108 requires that public companies utilize a “dual-approach” to assess the quantitative effects of financial misstatements. This dual approach includes both an income statement focused assessment and a balance sheet focused assessment. The guidance in SAB 108 must be applied to annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This standard amends SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities,” with respect to accounting for a transfer to the trading category for all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities electing the fair value option. This standard allows companies to elect fair value accounting for many financial instruments and other items that currently are not required to be accounted as such, allows different applications for electing the option for a single item or groups of items, and requires disclosures to facilitate comparisons of similar assets and liabilities that are accounted for differently in relation to the fair value option. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for Comarco is fiscal 2009. The Company does not expect SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

4.	Gain on Sale of Investment in SwissQual and Intangible Asset

During fiscal 2002, the Company purchased an 18 percent equity stake in Switzerland based SwissQual AG (“SwissQual”) for approximately $1.1 million. SwissQual is a developer of quality of service systems and software for measuring, monitoring, and optimizing the quality of mobile, fixed, and IP-based voice and data communications. Under this alliance, SwissQual was responsible for reselling and supporting Comarco’s co-branded Seven.Five products in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa (the Company’s “European” region) through December 31, 2006. The Company has a revenue sharing agreement in place that determines how much revenue Comarco earns from SwissQual sales and, conversely, how much revenue SwissQual earns from the Company’s sales to customers located outside the European region.

During January 2006, Spirent plc (“Spirent”) acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of SwissQual for consideration totaling up to approximately $71.3 million. Approximately $37.6 million in cash was paid at the close of the transaction, which is net of $2.5 million of transaction costs, with an additional $9.1 million put into escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations. The escrowed consideration is expected to be released within 24 months of the close. In addition, up to $22.1 million in contingent consideration may be paid within 24 months upon satisfaction of certain performance and other requirements. Upon the closing of the transaction, the Company received approximately $6.8 million of the closing consideration, which is net of $0.5 million of transaction costs, for its 18 percent ownership interest in SwissQual and may receive up to an additional $5.4 million of any escrow distribution and contingent consideration. During January 31, 2006, the Company recorded a gain on sale of investment totaling $6.1 million, which was based on cash consideration received by the Company. During fiscal 2007, the Company received $1.7 million of contingent consideration, net of $0.1 million of transaction costs, recorded as gain on sale of investment in SwissQual. Due to uncertainty as to timing and amount of any escrow distribution and remaining contingent consideration, the Company expects to record an additional gain as the contingency lapses and the funds are probable of receipt.

Prior to the acquisition, SwissQual declared and paid a dividend to the then current shareholders. During January 2006, Comarco recorded the approximately $0.4 million dividend declared as a reduction in the cost basis of the Company’s investment in SwissQual. Additionally, during December 2005, the Company sold rights to software to SwissQual for approximately $0.5 million. At the time of the sale, such software rights had an unamortized book value of approximately $0.2 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded a gain on sale of the intangible asset totaling approximately $0.3 million.

The gain on sale of investment in SwissQual and intangible asset is comprised of the following (in thousands):

5.	Discontinued Operations

On January 6, 2004, Comarco sold the assets of the reporting unit EDX. This reporting unit was formerly included in the wireless test solutions segment. Gross proceeds from the sale totaled $600,000.

Additionally, during fiscal 2001, the Company sold its defense and commercial staffing businesses, the non-wireless businesses. Adjustments made to the estimated exit costs of these businesses are recorded as discontinued operations.

Following is summarized financial information for the discontinued operations (in thousands):


	Years Ended January 31,

Income (loss) from discontinued operations	$	—	$	(45	)	$	325

Previously, the Company included cash flows from discontinued operations as a single amount in its consolidated statement of cash flows. In fiscal 2006, the Company separately disclosed the components of cash flows of discontinued operations, reconciled operating cash flows from net income rather than income from continuing operations, and restated its statement of cash flows for fiscal 2005 to conform to the current presentation.

6.	Customer Concentrations

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from a limited number of customers. The customers providing 10 percent or more of the company’s revenue for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 are listed below (in thousands, except percentages).

During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, as a result of incurring cumulative losses for a three-year period, the Company established a valuation allowance totaling approximately $2.9 million or the entire deferred tax asset.

The Company has federal and state research and experimentation credit carryforwards of $535,000 and $1.1 million, which expire through 2027 and indefinitely, respectively. Additionally, for state tax purposes, the Company has a manufacturer investment credit carryforward of $70,000, which expires through 2010.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. There was a $4.3 million valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 31, 2007, an increase of $0.8 million, based on management’s overall assessment of risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s future ability to realize, and hence utilize, the deferred tax assets.

Stock Compensation

Comarco, Inc. has stock-based compensation plans under which outside directors and certain employees receive stock options. The employee stock option plans and a director stock option plan provide that officers, key employees, and directors may be granted options to purchase up to 2,704,337 shares of common stock of the Company at not less than 100 percent of the fair market value at the date of grant, unless the optionee is a 10 percent shareholder of the Company, in which case the price must not be less than 110 percent of the fair market value. Figures for these plans reflect a 3-for-2 stock split declared during the year ended January 31, 2001.

The director stock-based compensation plan (the “Director Plan”) expires in December 2010, and the Company’s former employee stock option plan (the “Employee Plan”) expired during May 2005. During December 2005, the Board of Directors approved and adopted a new equity incentive plan (the “2005 Plan”) covering 450,000 shares of common stock. The 2005 Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at its annual shareholders’ meeting in June 2006. Under all plans, the options are exercisable in installments determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors; however, no employee option may be exercised prior to one year following the grant of the option. The options granted under the Director Plan and the Employee Plan expire as determined by the committee, but no later than ten years and one week after the date of grant (five years for 10 percent shareholders). The options granted under the 2005 Plan expire as determined by the committee, but no later than ten years after the date of grant (five years for 10 percent shareholders).

Transactions and other information relating to these plans for the three years ended January 31, 2007 are summarized below:

As of January 31, 2007, the shares available for future grant are under the director stock option plan totaled 625.

CWT also has a subsidiary stock option plan. Under this plan, officers and key employees of CWT may be granted options to purchase up to 600,000 shares of common stock of CWT at not less than 100 percent of the fair market value at the date of grant.

As of January 31, 2007, the Company owned all of the 3,353,000 outstanding shares of CWT common stock. The fair market value of the shares and the exercise dates of the options are determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors; however, no option may be exercised prior to one year following the grant of the option. The options expire as determined by the compensation committee, but not later than ten years and one week after the date of grant.

During, fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 no options were granted under the subsidiary option plan. During fiscal 2007 and 2006 no options were exercised and, accordingly, no minority interest in earnings was recorded in those years. During fiscal 2005, the Company issued 30,000 shares of CWT stock from the exercise of CWT stock options and acquired 66,000 minority shares of CWT through the issuance of 92,668 shares of Company common stock. Under the purchase method of accounting, the excess price of $456,000 during fiscal 2005 of the minority interest in CWT over the fair value of the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets of CWT has been recognized as definite-lived intangible assets attributable to intellectual property rights. There are 3,000 options outstanding under the subsidiary option plan as of January 31, 2007.

Stock options exercisable under the CWT option plan at January 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were 3,000, 4,000, and 49,000, respectively, at weighted-average exercise prices of $17.62, $16.52, and $12.34, respectively. Shares available under the plan for future grants at January 31, 2007 were 198,000. The 3,000 stock options outstanding at January 31, 2007 have a remaining contractual life of one month.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company calculates basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the effects of potentially dilutive securities. Since the Company incurred a net loss for fiscal 2005, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same because the inclusion of 11,678 potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive. The reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Under the Plan, as restated effective January 1, 2001, employees are eligible to participate on the first of the month following 30 days of employment, provided they are at least 18 years of age, by contributing between 1 percent and 20 percent of pre-tax earnings. Company contributions match employee contributions at levels as specified in the Plan document. In addition, the Company may contribute a portion of its net profits as determined by the Board of Directors. Company contributions, which consist of matching contributions, with respect to the Plan for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were approximately $438,000, $412,000, and $389,000, respectively. During fiscal 2005, the Company made matching contributions of $78,000 through forfeited matching funds previously contributed to the plan.

The Company also maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan funded by Company executives and directors. See Note 2 for further discussion.

Business Segment Information

The Company has three reportable operating segments: wireless test solutions, call box, and mobile power products.

Wireless test solutions designs and manufactures hardware and software tools for use by wireless carriers, equipment vendors, and others. Radio frequency engineers, professional technicians, and others use these tools to design, deploy, and optimize wireless networks, and to verify the performance of the wireless networks once deployed.

The call box segment designs and manufactures call box systems that provide emergency communication over existing wireless networks. In addition, the call box segment provides system installation and long-term maintenance services. As of January 31, 2007, the Company services and maintains approximately 10,800 call boxes under long-term agreements.

The mobile power products segment designs and manufactures mobile power products for notebook computers, cellular telephones, PDAs, and other handheld devices.

Performance measurement and resource allocation for the reportable segments are based on many factors. The primary financial measures used are revenue and gross profit.

Long-lived assets outside of North America were not significant at January 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

The Company sells its products to wireless carriers, equipment vendors, and other customers located throughout the world. In fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Company derived 81 percent, 68 percent, and 53 percent of its revenue, respectively, from customers in the United States and 19 percent, 32 percent, and 47 percent, respectively, from customers in foreign countries, as determined by the “ship to” address. The sharp increase in the percentage of sales to foreign countries during fiscal 2005 is due to the increase in sales of the WTS business, which is mostly to foreign countries, coupled with the decline in sales of the mobile power products business, which historically has been predominately sold in the United States. In fiscal 2005, sales to Brazil accounted for $5.6 million, or 19.3 percent of total revenue.

Commitments and Contingencies

Rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases, principally on the Company’s office space and equipment, were $1.8 million at January 31, 2007, payable as follows (in thousands):


	Operating Leases

2008		466

2012		221

Total minimum lease payments	$	1,865

COMARCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Certain of the rental commitments are subject to increases based on the change in the Consumer Price Index. Rental expense for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $1.0 million, $0.8 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.

Purchase Commitments with Suppliers

The Company generally issues purchase orders to its suppliers with delivery dates from four to six weeks from the purchase order date. In addition, the Company regularly provides significant suppliers with rolling six-month forecasts of material and finished goods requirements for planning and long-lead time parts procurement purposes only. The Company is committed to accept delivery of materials pursuant to its purchase orders subject to various contract provisions that allow it to delay receipt of such order or allow it to cancel orders beyond certain agreed lead times. Such cancellations may or may not include cancellation costs payable by the Company. In the past, the Company has been required to take delivery of materials from its suppliers that were in excess of its requirements and the Company has previously recognized charges and expenses related to such excess material. If the Company is unable to adequately manage its suppliers and adjust such commitments for changes in demand, it may incur additional inventory expenses related to excess and obsolete inventory. Such expenses could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial position. The Company’s fixed purchase commitments at January 31, 2007 totaled $0.5 million.

Employer Matching Contribution to the Company’s Savings and Retirement Plan

The Company has obligations to match employee contributions made to the Company’s savings and retirement plan. Generally, the Company’s obligation is equal to 100 percent of up to 5 percent of employees’ contribution amounts. If the Company is unable to meet the requisite matching, the Company’s Savings and Retirement Plan may need to be amended.

Executive Severance Commitments

The Company has entered into severance compensation agreements with three key executives. These agreements require the Company to pay these executives, in the event of a termination of employment following a change of control of the Company, approximately 12 months of their then current base salary and up to twice the amount of any bonus amount the executive would have achieved for the current year. The exact amount of this contingent obligation is not known and accordingly has not been recorded in the financial statements.

Letter of Credit

In May 2006, the Company obtained a $500,000 letter of credit from US Bank pursuant to a lease provision for its new corporate offices to which the Company relocated on August 28, 2006. The letter of credit is secured by a certificate of deposit with a 6-month maturity, which is reflected as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet.

Legal Contingencies

The Company is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings will not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
