During the third quarter, the company acquired Sigma Wireless Technologies, a provider of Integrated Variable Electrical Tilt (iVET) antennas for the 3G cellular market. Other major events included: the delivery of its VoIP Roaming Client for deployment in Japan, significant growth in the company's UMTS scanner business, the first $5 million shipping month out of the new facility in Bloomingdale, Illinois, and particularly strong shipments of GPS-based antennas, elevated feed antennas, and Wi-Fi antennas.

"The financial results suggest that we are continuing to make progress," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "Over the past four years, we've transformed the company through five acquisitions and one divestiture and we are positioned to benefit from the continued explosion in pervasive wireless broadband. We are now focused on execution, driving synergies, and delivering bottom line performance," added Singer.

The company will discuss these results and the market trends driving the increased revenue during its scheduled earnings teleconference today at 6:15 PM EDT.

(a) These adjustments reconcile the Company's GAAP results of
    operations to its non-GAAP results of operations. The Company
    believes that presentation of results excluding items such as
    non-cash share-based compensation, restructuring costs, and
    investment gains provides meaningful supplemental information to
    both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's
    core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating
    results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP
    measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for
    internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP
    measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's
    GAAP results. Neither the Company's GAAP nor non-GAAP results of
    operations include the accounting impact had the Company chosen to
    apply the fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 or
    SFAS No. 123 revised (123R) to expense share-based compensation
    related to stock options, the impact of which is disclosed in the
    Company's Forms 10-Q and 10-K as filed with the SEC. The Company
    will adopt SFAS No. 123R in its first quarter ending March 31,
    2006.

(b) This adjustment reflects the non cash stock based compensation
    expense for restricted stock grants and stock bonuses awarded to
    the Company's employees.
