NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Airspan Networks Inc. (“Airspan” or “the Company”) is a global supplier of broadband wireless equipment supporting the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (“WiMAX”) protocol standard, which provides a wide area telecommunication access network to connect end-users to telecom backbone networks. The WiMAX standard is established by the WiMAX Forum ^® , a self-regulatory, industry standards-setting organization. While our main product focus is WiMAX, we utilize other supplemental technologies, including Wireless Fidelity (“WiFi”) and Voice-over-Internet Protocol (“VoIP”), which allow communications network operators and service providers to deliver high-speed data and voice services cost-effectively using wireless communications rather than wired infrastructure.

Historically, the primary market for our wireless systems has been fixed point to multi-point applications. Our development of new technology has expanded the market to include portable and mobile applications. Today, we produce radio base station equipment to transmit radio signals from a central location to the end-user who is equipped with a subscriber receiving unit. Our WiMAX products now enable major network migrations to Internet Protocol, which makes higher transmission speeds possible due to more efficient transmission techniques. After the expected certification of mobile WiMAX standards, we expect our mobile applications will be made available directly to end-user devices such as laptops and personal digital assistants to deliver wireless connectivity - at home, in the office and on the move. Leveraging our experience with WiMAX technology and our experience gained from 15 years of developing and deploying broadband wireless systems, we are focused on developing products for these mobile WiMAX applications in addition to our fixed wireless products.

Our primary target customers are communications service providers and other network operators that deploy WiMAX networks in licensed and unlicensed (license-exempt) spectrums worldwide. These customers include incumbent local exchange carriers (often referred to as “local exchange carriers”, “ILECs”, or simply telephone companies), Internet service providers (often referred to as “ISPs”), Wireless Internet Service providers (often referred to as “WISPs”), Mobile Virtual Network Operators (often referred to as “MVNOs”), Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (“CLECs”), and other telecommunications users, such as utilities and other enterprises. As mobile WiMAX products are deployed, we are also targeting mobile and cellular carriers, which represent a significant expansion of our traditional addressable market. Our broadband wireless systems have been installed by more than 500 network operators in more than 100 countries.

Each of our wireless systems uses digital radio technologies, which provide wide-area or local-area coverage, robust security and resistance to fading. Our systems synchronize available bandwidth with the specific services being provided, thereby facilitating the most efficient use of radio equipment resources and spectrum. Our systems are designed as modular solutions enabling the expansion of existing deployments as technologies and customer needs evolve. We provide a wide range of subscriber devices that deliver voice and data connection, or a combination of both, eliminating the need for multiple access devices in customer premises.

Our network management systems provide diagnostic and management tools that allow our customers to monitor and optimize their installations. To facilitate the deployment and operation of our systems, we also offer network installation (generally through subcontractors), training, radio planning and support services.

In 2007, we introduced a portable miniature device (the MiMAX subscriber terminal) that can be plugged into a standard laptop, enabling WiMAX for data services, including VoIP. Our MiMAX USB received WiMAX certification by the WiMAX Forum ^® in the second quarter of 2008.

Earlier in 2008, we announced the MacroMAXe mobile-WiMAX base station, developed in partnership with Fujitsu. MacroMAXe is an all-in-one base station offering the range and features typically included in larger base station equipment. In addition, the MacroMAXe uses new Gallium-Nitride power amplifier technology from Fujitsu which allows for extremely low power consumption.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Boca Raton, Florida. Our main operations, manufacturing and product development centers are located in Uxbridge, United Kingdom and Airport City, Israel. Our telephone number in Boca Raton is (561) 893-8670. Further contact details and the location of all our worldwide offices may be found at www.airspan.com .

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results expected in subsequent periods or for the year as a whole.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year classification.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost includes all costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, as follows:

·	Purchased parts and materials, finished goods — average cost
·	Work in process— cost of direct materials and labor.

NOTE 3 - ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In the fourth quarter of 2002, the decision was made to completely outsource all of our manufacturing. As a result, a $1.0 million restructuring charge was recorded for the closure of our Riverside, Uxbridge facility in 2003. All of this cost related to the excess facility. A further $0.4 million was recognized as restructuring in the income statement in the fourth quarter of 2003 as we reassessed the ability to sublease the Riverside facility. In the second quarter of 2007, the lessor completed renovations and incurred actual costs of approximately $0.8 million, which the Company was required to pay; therefore, we reduced the liability to $1.0 million, including the estimated legal and other fees we expected to incur. All cash outflows in connection with this restructuring were paid in February 2008.

In the third quarter of 2006, the Company commenced a company-wide restructuring program to reduce operating expenses. The operating expense reduction was accomplished primarily through reductions in worldwide headcount. In 2006, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2.2 million. The Company made approximately $0.4 million of cash outlays in 2007 related to amounts accrued in 2006. All remaining cash outlays related to this program were completed in the second quarter of 2007.

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company announced its intention to reduce worldwide operating expenses by approximately 15%. The operating expense reduction was accomplished primarily through reductions in worldwide headcount. In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.6 million. An additional $0.1 million was recorded as a restructuring charge in the third quarter of 2008. All payments in connection with these charges were made in the second and third quarters of 2008.

The restructuring charges and their utilization are summarized as follows:

	Total expected to be incurred		Incurred during the quarter ended September 28, 2008		Cumulative incurred at September 28, 2008

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

As of September 28, 2008, our material commitments consisted of obligations on operating leases, repayment of principal and interest owed on the loans made to us by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (the “Tekes Loans”) and purchase commitments to our manufacturing subcontractors. These purchase commitments totaled $22.7 million at September 28, 2008. We have no material capital commitments.

Warranty

The Company provides limited warranties, usually for periods ranging from twelve to twenty-four months, to all purchasers of its new equipment. Warranty expense is accrued at the date revenue is recognized on the sale of equipment and is recognized as a cost of revenue. The expense is estimated based on analysis of historic costs and other relevant factors. Management believes that the amounts provided are sufficient for all future warranty costs on equipment sold through September 28, 2008 but if actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

Information regarding the changes in our product warranty liabilities was as follows for the nine months ended September 28, 2008.

	Balance at beginning of period		Accrual for warranties issued during the period		Changes in accruals related to pre- existing warranties (including changes in estimates)			Settlements made (in cash or in kind) during the period			Balance at end of period
Nine months ended September 28, 2008
Product warranty liability	$	1,010	$	314	$	(37	)	$	(275	)	$	1,012

Other guarantees

As of September 28, 2008, the Company had pledged cash to banks as collateral for guarantees aggregating $1.2 million, of which $0.1 million is recorded as restricted cash in current assets related to customers and $1.1 million is recorded as other non-current assets related to property leases. The Company has also issued guarantees of its own obligations to customers under the line of credit provided by Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) for a total of $3.0 million, which does not require any related pledge of cash collateral. The Company has not recognized any liability for these guarantees. These guarantees will all expire before the end of 2011 with the majority expiring in 2009.

In addition to the guarantees mentioned above, the Company has issued a guarantee to Tekes, the main public funding organization for research and development in Finland, for the repayment of loans taken out by its fully consolidated subsidiary, Airspan Networks (Finland) OY (“Radionet”). These loans totaled $2.0 million at September 28, 2008, which includes $0.2 million of accrued interest, and are recorded in long-term debt. This guarantee expires only when Radionet has fulfilled all its obligations to Tekes.

Legal claims

On and after July 23, 2001, three Class Action Complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming as defendants Airspan, and certain current or former officers and directors (referred to herein as the “Individual Defendants”) together with certain underwriters of our July 2000 initial public offering. A Consolidated Amended Complaint, which is now the operative complaint, was filed on July 19, 2002. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for issuing a Registration Statement and Prospectus that contained materially false and misleading information and failed to disclose material information. In particular, the plaintiffs allege that the underwriter-defendants agreed to allocate stock in our initial public offering to certain investors in exchange for excessive and undisclosed commissions and agreements by those investors to make additional purchases of stock in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. The action seeks damages in an unspecified amount.

This action is being coordinated with approximately three hundred nearly identical actions filed against other companies. On October 9, 2002, the Court dismissed the Individual Defendants from the case without prejudice. This dismissal disposed of the Section 15 and 20(a) control person claims without prejudice. On February 19, 2003, the Court dismissed the Section 10(b) claim against us, but allowed the Section 11 claim to proceed. On December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit vacated a decision by the district court granting class certification in six of the coordinated cases, which are intended to serve as test, or “focus,” cases. The plaintiffs selected these six cases, which do not include Airspan. The district court’s decisions in the six focus cases are intended to provide strong guidance for the parties in the remaining cases. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied a petition for rehearing filed by the plaintiffs, but noted that the plaintiffs could ask the district court to certify more narrow classes than those that were rejected.

On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. The amended complaints include a number of changes, such as changes to the definition of the purported class of investors. On September 27, 2007, the plaintiffs moved to certify classes in the six focus cases. The six focus case issuers and the underwriters named as defendants in the focus cases filed motions to dismiss the amended complaints against them. On March 26, 2008, the District Court dismissed the Section 11 claims of those members of the putative classes in the focus cases who sold their securities for a price in excess of the initial offering price and those who purchased outside the previously certified class period. With respect to all other claims, the motions to dismiss were denied. On October 10, 2008, at the request of plaintiffs, plaintiffs’ motion for class certification was withdrawn, without prejudice. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matter. We cannot predict whether we will be able to renegotiate a settlement that complies with the Second Circuit’s mandate, nor can we predict the amount of any such settlement and whether that amount would be greater than Airspan’s insurance coverage. If Airspan is found liable, we are unable to estimate or predict the potential damages that might be awarded, whether such damages would be greater than Airspan’s insurance coverage and whether such damages would have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition in any future period.

On October 9, 2007, a purported Airspan shareholder filed a complaint for violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which prohibits short-swing trading, against the Company's initial public offering underwriters. The complaint, Vanessa Simmonds v. Credit Suisse Group, et al., Case No. C07-01638, filed in the District Court for the Western District of Washington, seeks the recovery of short-swing profits. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. No recovery is sought from the Company.

From time to time, the Company receives and reviews offers from third parties with respect to licensing their patents and other intellectual property in connection with the manufacture of our WiMAX and other products. There can be no assurance that disputes will not arise with such third parties if no agreement can be reached regarding the licensing of such patents or intellectual property.

We have received letters/communications from Wi-LAN Inc. (“Wi-LAN”) offering licenses of various Wi-LAN patents and contending that products complying with 802.11 and 802.16 standards are covered by certain patents allegedly owned by Wi-LAN. The Company, in consultation with its patent counsel, has been reviewing Wi-LAN's allegations and has had extensive correspondence with Wi-LAN regarding those allegations. We continue to believe that we do not require a license from Wi-LAN, however, Wi-LAN continues to threaten the Company with litigation unless it negotiates a license with Wi-LAN with respect to the patents in question. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Except as set forth above, we are not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings. We may from time to time become a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

NOTE 5 - STOCK COMPENSATION

At September 28, 2008, we had three stock option plans as well as the 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan and the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Awards under the 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan may be made to participants in the form of Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Stock Awards, Performance Shares, Other Stock-Based Awards and others forms of equity based compensation as may be provided and are permissible under this Plan and the law. Employee stock options granted under all of the plans generally vest over a four-year period and expire on the tenth anniversary of their issuance. All options granted under the stock option plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock is common stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon satisfaction of specified performance conditions and/or the passage of time. Awards of restricted stock that vest only by the passage of time will generally fully vest after four years from the date of grant. At September 28, 2008, the Company had reserved a total of 11,930,242 shares of its common stock for issuance under the above plans.

Under our ESPP, eligible employees may purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions. 661,494 shares were issued during the nine months ended September 28, 2008.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, which was allocated as follows (in thousands):

Total stock-based compensation	$	629	$	624	$	2,003	$	1,876

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service periods. Compensation expense for all share-based awards is recognized using the straight-line single-option method. Because share-based compensation expense is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, share-based compensation expense has been reduced to account for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

To calculate option-based compensation under SFAS 123(R), we used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Our determination of fair value of option-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.

Fair Value and Assumptions Used to Calculate Fair Value under SFAS 123(R)

There were no restricted stock shares granted during the first nine months of 2008. The weighted average fair value of each restricted stock share granted under our equity compensation plans for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $4.69. The fair value of each restricted stock award is estimated on the date of grant using the intrinsic value method.

The weighted average fair value of each option granted during the first nine months of 2008 and the first nine months of 2007 was $0.55 and $2.64, respectively. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following weighted average assumptions:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2008			September 30, 2007

Expected volatility		82	%		80	%
Risk-free interest rate		3.12	%		4.59	%
Expected life (years)		5			5
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%

Assumptions for Option-Based Awards under SFAS 123(R)

The expected volatility is determined based on historical price changes of our common stock over a period of time which approximates the expected option term.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the term of our stock options.

The expected term of options is estimated based on our historical data regarding exercise behavior.

The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of no dividend payouts.

As share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures were estimated based on our historical experience.

NOTE 6 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Shares associated with stock options and common stock to be issued on the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share as they are anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated.

	Quarter End						Year-to-Date

Net loss per share- basic and diluted	$	(0.13	)	$	(0.24	)	$	(0.45	)	$	(0.65	)

There were 8,357,734 stock options outstanding at September 28, 2008 and 5,463,565 stock options outstanding at September 30, 2007 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. If the Company had reported net income, the calculation of these per share amounts would have included the dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method for stock options. There were 200,690 shares of convertible preferred stock at September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively, that were also excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. The 200,690 shares of convertible preferred stock would be convertible into 21,630,856 common shares as of September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. There were 87,637 and 109,940 non-vested shares of restricted stock at September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively, that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

NOTE 7 - GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

As a developer and supplier of broadband wireless equipment, the Company has one reportable segment. The revenue of this single segment is comprised primarily of revenue from products and, to a lesser extent, services. In 2008, the majority of the Company’s revenue was generated from products manufactured in the United Kingdom, Mexico and Israel, with additional revenue generated from sales of original equipment manufacturers’ products.

An analysis of revenue by location of the customer is given below:

NOTE 8 – AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

On August 21, 2008, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Airspan Communications Limited, entered into a Second Amendment to our August 1, 2006 Loan and Security Agreement, as amended August 7, 2007 (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with SVB, with respect to a revolving credit line. For the term of the credit line, which expires on December 31, 2009, we may, subject to certain adjustments, borrow up to the lesser of (i) (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus (as long as the Company’s worldwide cash and investments exceeds $20 million and the Company’s cash and investments maintained at SVB and its affiliates exceeds $15 million) (b) the lesser of (1) 60% of eligible inventory and (2) $8 million (the “Borrowing Base”) and (ii) $20 million. As of September 28, 2008, the Company had $2.2 million of unused available credit. We are currently using the credit line and we expect to continue to use it for the remainder of 2008. Although we believe the credit facility will increase our financial resources and financial flexibility, our use of the credit facility does present certain risks. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is a function of, among other things, our base of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and the rate at which advances are made against eligible receivables and inventory (the “Advance Rate”). If the amount or quality of our accounts receivable or inventory deteriorates or the Advance Rate or eligibility criteria are adjusted adversely by SVB, our ability to borrow under the credit facility will be directly, negatively affected. If there is an adverse adjustment in the Borrowing Base at a time when we are unable to, within three business days, repay SVB the amount by which the Borrowing Base has been decreased, we will likely be in default under the Loan and Security Agreement. In addition, the credit facility requires us to satisfy certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of tangible net worth. As of September 28, 2008, the tangible net worth requirement was $30.0 million and the Company’s actual tangible net worth was $37.9 million. The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants at September 28, 2008. There is no assurance the Company will be able to meet this covenant in future quarters as required by the Loan and Security Agreement. In the event the Company is unable to meet this test in the future, we would plan to seek an amendment or waiver of this covenant. There can be no assurance that any such waiver or amendment would be granted. As a result, we may be required to repay any or all of our existing borrowings and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to borrow under the Loan and Security Agreement at a time when we most need money to fund working capital or other needs and prohibit us from paying dividends on our capital stock. The credit facility also contains various provisions that restrict our use of cash and operating flexibility. These provisions could have important consequences for us, including (i) causing us to use a portion of our cash flow from operations for debt repayment and/or service rather than other perceived needs, (ii) precluding us from incurring additional debt financing for future working capital or capital expenditures and (iii) impacting our ability to take advantage of significant, perceived business opportunities, such as acquisition opportunities or to react to market conditions. Our failure to meet financial and other covenants could give rise to a default under the Loan and Security Agreement. In the event of an uncured default, the Loan and Security Agreement provides that all amounts owed to SVB are immediately due and payable and that SVB has the right to enforce its security interest in our assets. The Loan and Security Agreement is secured by collateral, including all of our rights and interests in substantially all of our personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property, books and records, contract rights and proceeds of the above items. At September 28, 2008, $12.5 million of indebtedness was outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement. Advances under the Loan and Security Agreement bear interest at SVB's prime rate plus a percentage ranging from 0.0% to 1.75%, depending on certain financial and collateral tests. The monthly interest is calculated based on the higher amount of outstanding borrowings or $10.0 million. We have issued $3.0 million of letters of credit under the facility, which were still outstanding at September 28, 2008.

NOTE 9 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, or SFAS 157, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity

The Company’s adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position FSP FAS 157-2—Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP FAS 157-2”) delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. We are evaluating the impact that FSP FAS 157-2 will have on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 to financial assets for which an active market does not exist. Specifically, FSP 157-3 addresses the following SFAS 157 application issues: (1) how a reporting entity’s own assumptions should be considered in measuring fair value when observable inputs do not exist; (2) how observable inputs in inactive markets should be considered when measuring fair value; and (3) how the use of market quotes should be considered when assessing the relevance of inputs available to measure fair value. FSP 157-3 applies to financial assets within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements in accordance with SFAS 157 and was effective upon issuance. We do not expect that FSP 157-3 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of September 28, 2008, financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements were as follows (in thousands):

	As of September 28, 2008
	Level 1 (a)		Level 2 (b)		Level 3		Balance
Assets
Cash equivalents	$	10,498	$	649	$	-	$	11,147
Available for sale investments	$	-	$	9,007	$	-	$	9,007

(a) These consist of money market funds that are priced at the market price.

(b) These consist of commercial paper with short maturities and infrequent secondary market trades and are priced via mathematical calculations; in the event that a transaction is observed on the same security, the accretion schedule is revised.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities the option to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value as of specified dates. Such election, which may be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, is typically irrevocable once elected. Upon adoption, we did not elect the fair value option for any items within the scope of SFAS 159 and, therefore, the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“EITF 07-3”). EITF 07-3 requires nonrefundable advance payments for research and development goods or services to be deferred and capitalized. The adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 was effective for us on September 28, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of FSP 157-3 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Future Adoption of Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction whether full or partial acquisition, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs, and requires the acquirer to disclose all information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141R applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including combinations achieved without transfer of consideration, for example, by contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto rights. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Management expects that the adoption of SFAS 141R could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements if there are any acquisitions after January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, EITF 07-01, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements Related to the Development and Commercialization of Intellectual Property” (“ EITF 07-01”) was issued. EITF 07-01 prescribes the accounting for collaborations. It requires certain transactions between collaborators to be recorded in the income statement on either a gross or net basis within expenses when certain characteristics exist in the collaboration relationship. Based on the nature of the arrangement, payments to or from collaborators would be evaluated and the terms of the arrangement, the nature of the entity's business and whether those payments are within the scope of other accounting literature would be presented. Companies are also required to disclose the nature and purpose of collaborative arrangements along with the accounting policies and the classification and amounts of significant financial-statement amounts related to the arrangements. EITF 07-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. We are in the process of reviewing whether the adoption of EITF 07-01 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”) . SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a separate component of equity rather than as a liability. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management expects that the adoption of SFAS 160 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) to provide a better understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and their effect on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not expect that FSP 142-3 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The FASB believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of SFAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 5, 2008, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The definitive proxy statement contains proposals (i) to approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, effecting a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors within a range of one-for-five shares to one-for-fifteen shares, (ii) to approve an amendment and restatement of the ESPP to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder and to allow for nine additional separate offering periods, the final offering period to commence on August 16, 2017 and terminate on August 15, 2018, and (iii) to approve a stock option exchange program under which eligible employees (including executive officers but excluding non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors) will be offered the opportunity to exchange their eligible options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding under the Company’s equity compensation plans for a smaller number of new options at a lower exercise price. The Company currently plans to hold a special meeting of shareholders to vote on these proposals on December 16, 2008.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as well as the financial statements and notes thereto. Except for historical matters contained herein, statements made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, “will”, “to”, “plan”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “could”, “would”, “estimate”, or “continue” or the negative other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Investors and others are cautioned that a variety of factors, including certain risks, may affect our business and cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These risk factors include, without limitation, (i) risks to our ability to develop and sell WiMAX certified mobile products in a timely fashion; (ii) a slowdown of expenditures by communication service providers and failure of the WiMAX market to develop as anticipated; (iii) increased competition from alternative communication systems; (iv) a higher than anticipated rate of decline in our legacy business and/or a slower than anticipated rate of growth in the WiMAX business; (v) encroachment of large telecommunications carriers and equipment suppliers on the WiMAX market; (vi) the failure of our existing or prospective customers to purchase products as projected; (vii) our inability to successfully implement cost reduction or containment programs; (viii) our inability to retain our key customers; (ix) possible infringement of third party technologies which may result in lawsuits that could be costly to defend and prohibit us from selling our products; (x) risks to our ability to compensate for declining sales of obsolescent products with increased sales of new products; and (xi) disruptions to our operations in Israel, including the absence of employees, due to required military service, caused by political and military tensions in the Middle East. The Company is also subject to the risks and uncertainties described in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2008 and under Item 1A of Part II in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 28, 2008.

Overview

We are a global supplier of broadband wireless equipment supporting the WiMAX protocol standard, which provides a wide area telecommunication access network to connect end users to telecom backbone networks. Our primary target customers are communications service providers and other network operators that deploy WiMAX networks in licensed and unlicensed (license exempt) spectrums worldwide.

Historically, our business addressed communications service providers that used fixed, non-WiMAX wireless infrastructure to deliver services in those parts of their service areas that are difficult or not cost effective to reach using copper or fiber. We now offer a comprehensive range of WiMAX solutions to support these traditional fixed wireless applications as well as the broader market for the mobile applications that WiMAX is expected to enable. We are leveraging many years of experience in complex radio systems design to provide innovative and cost effective products for all types of WiMAX users.

We have transitioned our company over the last three years to focus on WiMAX product development and sales and marketing. As a result, a majority of our resources are dedicated to WiMAX-based products and we are dependent on the acceptance of WiMAX solutions in the marketplace.

Since 1998 we have evolved from being the supplier of a single product line of broadband wireless access (“BWA”) equipment that utilized our proprietary technology to a supplier of a highly diversified suite of BWA equipment, including certain equipment that has been developed to conform with WiMAX and the WiFi standards. The diversification of our product portfolio has been the product of both internal research and development and targeted acquisitions.

As a result of the migration of telecommunications to platforms that operate using the Internet protocol, we expect that our BWA equipment which is designed to handle communications over the Internet will become increasingly important to us. Due to the projected popularity of technologies such as WiMAX and WiFi, we also anticipate that our WiMAX and WiFi products will become increasingly important to us. Our WiMAX and WiFi products are designed to be inter-operable with any other equipment that is WiMAX or WiFi Certified, respectively. Accordingly, these relatively new products face certain opportunities and risks that our proprietary products did not encounter.

The market for BWA equipment has been characterized by rapid technological developments and evolving industry standards. Our future success will therefore depend on our ability to adapt to these new standards and to successfully introduce new technologies that meet customer preferences. We anticipate that we will need to continue to devote considerable resources to research and development to maintain and/or improve upon our competitive position.

Since July 1, 2003, we have acquired three suppliers of BWA equipment. Depending on the opportunities available, we may continue to expand our business through, among other things, acquisitions of other businesses and technologies and joint ventures. Accordingly, we anticipate our future results of operation and financial condition may be directly or indirectly materially affected by our acquisition and joint venture efforts. Acquisitions are inherently risky and our future growth may depend on our ability to successfully acquire, operate and integrate new businesses into our company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We review the accounting policies used in reporting our financial results on a regular basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our process used to develop estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to actual outcomes being different from those on which we based our assumptions.

Our significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and our critical accounting policies were included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. With the exception of the items discussed in Note 9 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no significant changes to these policies and no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 28, 2008.

Comparison of the Quarter Ended September 28, 2008 to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2007

Revenue

Revenue totaled $17.8 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2008, representing a 21% decrease from the $22.5 million reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The decrease compared to the third quarter of 2007 was attributable to a 25% reduction in WiMAX products and an 11% reduction in non-WiMAX revenues. The decrease in WiMAX revenue was due to a smaller number of customer shipments above $2 million made in the current quarter compared to the same period of 2007. In addition, certain customers in Africa were not able to complete their funding of letters of credit due to the ongoing credit crisis. Non-WiMAX revenues decreased to $5.7 million in the quarter ending September 28, 2008 from $6.4 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2007 as a result of the ongoing decline of our legacy business.

Geographically, in the third quarter of 2008, approximately 27% of our revenue was derived from customers in Europe, 26% from customers in Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean, 22% from customers in the United States and Canada, 14% from customers in Asia and 11% from customers in Africa and the Middle East.

During the third quarter of 2008, more than 100 customers purchased WiMAX equipment from us compared with 70 customers during the third quarter of 2007.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased 16% to $12.3 million in the quarter ended September 28, 2008 from $14.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to the decrease in revenue in the third quarter of 2008. The gross profit for the third quarter of 2008 was $5.5 million (31% of revenue) compared to a gross profit of $7.8 million (35% of revenue) for the third quarter of 2007. The lower margin percentage in the third quarter of 2008 reflects the higher percentage of period related costs on lower revenue as well as a change in product mix.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased 11% to $5.5 million in the quarter ended September 28, 2008 from $6.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The decrease year over year is primarily due to reduced personnel and subcontract development costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased 5% to $3.7 million in the quarter ended September 28, 2008 from $3.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The increase as compared to the third quarter of 2007 is primarily attributable to additional headcount and trade shows.

Bad Debt Provision

In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded bad debt provisions of $0.5 million relating to customer accounts for which management has determined that full recovery is unlikely. We recorded bad debt provisions of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2007.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased 9% to $3.5 million in the quarter ended September 28, 2008 from $3.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The increase from the third quarter of 2007 was primarily attributable to higher stock compensation expense and professional fees, offset by lower headcount related costs in the third quarter of 2008.

Amortization of Intangibles

We recorded amortization of intangibles expense of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2008 and for the third quarter of 2007. The amortization expense arises primarily as a result of our acquisition of intangible assets in connection with the ArelNet and Radionet acquisitions in June and November 2005, respectively.

Restructuring

In the third quarter of 2007, we did not record a restructuring charge. In the second quarter of 2008, we recorded a restructuring charge of $0.6 million to reflect the restructuring program we commenced in May 2008, the goal of which was to reduce operating expenses by approximately 15% compared to the level of operating expenses recorded in the first quarter of 2008. The cost reduction was accomplished primarily as a result of a reduction in worldwide headcount. As of the end of the third quarter of 2008, we had reduced headcount by approximately 13% compared to levels at the end of the first quarter of 2008. The majority of the headcount reduction was completed by the end of the third quarter. We recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. The restructuring resulted in a direct cash outlay primarily in the second and third quarters of 2008. We achieved cost savings of approximately $2 million relative to the cost structure that existed in the first quarter of 2008. Despite our efforts to prepare reliable projections, we recognize that our forecasts may prove to be imprecise due to unforeseen events, including unanticipated expenses or difficulties associated with requiring retained staff members to assume additional responsibilities and/or reorganizing our operations to more cost efficiently produce a given level of product revenue. See also “NOTE 3 - ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING CHARGES” to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the restructuring.

Interest Income, Net

At September 28, 2008, the outstanding principal and accrued interest payable on the Tekes Loans was $2.0 million. We also had outstanding borrowings under the bank line of credit for $12.5 million after drawing down $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. In the third quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2007, we incurred interest expense of $0.2 million on these loans. We had interest income of $0.2 million in both the third quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2007.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net decreased to an expense of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2008 from income of $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2007, primarily due to foreign exchange differences on cash balances.

Income Tax Credits (Charge), Net

In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded a net tax credit of $0.5 million, primarily relating to research and development tax credits in the United Kingdom, for which we became eligible starting in August 2008. The net tax credit is based on the Company’s effective tax rate, which includes the effects of the tax credits. Such tax credit reflects an estimate of eligible research and development costs to be incurred through the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company recorded a tax charge of $24 thousand in the third quarter of 2007. The Company was not eligible for the research and development tax credits in the UK in 2007.

Deemed Dividend Upon Issuance of Stock

In the third quarter of 2007, we recognized a non-cash charge of $4.1 million for a deemed dividend to our Series B preferred stockholders. We did not recognize a similar charge in the third quarter of 2008.

On September 26, 2007, we issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock in a public offering. As the sale price of these shares to the underwriters on a per share basis was less than $2.90 per share, there was an anti-dilution adjustment to the number of shares of common stock issuable on conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the anti-dilution adjustment, we recorded a deemed dividend of $4.1 million, calculated by multiplying the number of additional shares to be received on conversion (1.38 million shares) by $2.99, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market on September 25, 2007, the date of the closing of the Private Placement.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

For the reasons described above, we incurred a net loss of $7.8 million, or $(0.13) per share, in the quarter ended September 28, 2008, compared to a net loss of $9.9 million, or $(0.24) per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 28, 2008 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

Revenue

Revenue totaled $56.3 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2008, representing a 21% decrease from the $71.2 million reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Non-WiMAX revenues decreased to $18.2 million in the nine months ending September 28, 2008 from $26.4 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2007. WiMAX revenues for the first nine months of 2008 were $38.1 million compared to $44.8 million in the first nine months of 2007. Included within the first nine months WiMAX revenue for 2007 of $44.8 million was $11.5 million of revenues related to Yozan, which is no longer a significant customer of the Company. Revenues from Yozan were only $29 thousand in the first nine months of 2008.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased 27% to $38.9 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2008 from $53.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to decreased sales. The cost of revenue for the first nine months of 2007 included a charge of $6.3 million for inventory provisions on non-WiMAX products. The gross profit for the first nine months of 2008 was $17.5 million (31% of revenue) compared to a gross profit of $17.9 million (25% of revenue) for the first nine months of 2007. The increase in gross margin percentage in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the first nine months of 2007 is attributable to the impact of more revenue coming from products with higher product margins as well as the charge for inventory provisions in the first nine months of 2007.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased 9% to $19.2 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2008 from $17.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase year over year is primarily due to increased personnel costs as we were investing more heavily in the development of WiMAX products earlier in 2008.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased 17% to $12.2 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2008 from $10.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase as compared to the first nine months of 2007 is primarily attributable to additional headcount in 2008.

Bad Debt Provision

In the first nine months of 2008, we recorded bad debt provisions of $1.0 million relating to customer accounts for which management has determined that full recovery is unlikely. We recorded bad debt provisions of $1.6 million in the first nine months of 2007.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased 3% to $11.1 million in the first nine months ended September 28, 2008 from $11.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease from the first nine months of 2007 was primarily attributable to lower headcount related costs in the first nine months of 2008.

Amortization of Intangibles

We recorded amortization of intangibles expense of $0.7 million in the first nine months of 2008 and for the first nine months of 2007. The amortization expense arises primarily as a result of our acquisition of intangible assets in connection with the ArelNet and Radionet acquisitions in June and November 2005, respectively.

Restructuring

In the first nine months of 2007, we recorded a restructuring credit of $0.5 million. In the first nine months of 2008, we recorded a restructuring charge of $0.7 million to reflect the restructuring program we commenced in May 2008, the goal of which was to reduce operating expenses by approximately 15% compared to the level of operating expenses recorded in the first quarter of 2008. The cost reduction was accomplished primarily as a result of a reduction in worldwide headcount. As of the end of the third quarter of 2008, we had reduced headcount by approximately 13% compared to levels at the end of the first quarter of 2008. The majority of the headcount reduction was completed by the end of the third quarter of 2008. The restructuring resulted in a direct cash outlay primarily in the second and third quarters of 2008. We achieved annual cost savings of approximately $2 million relative to the cost structure that existed in the first quarter of 2008. Despite our efforts to prepare reliable projections, we recognize that our forecasts may prove to be imprecise due to unforeseen events, including unanticipated expenses or difficulties associated with reducing our workforce, requiring retained staff members to assume additional responsibilities and/or reorganizing our operations to more cost efficiently produce a given level of product revenue. See also “NOTE 3 - ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING CHARGES” to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the restructuring.

Interest Income, Net

At September 28, 2008, the outstanding principal and accrued interest payable on the Tekes Loans was $2.0 million. We also had outstanding borrowings under the bank line of credit for $12.5 million after drawing down $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. In the first nine months of 2008, we incurred interest expense of $0.4 million on these loans compared to interest expense of $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2007 due to higher amounts outstanding under the line of credit. Interest income decreased to $0.7 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2007.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net decreased to $45 thousand of expense in the first nine months of 2008 from $0.3 million in income in the first nine months of 2007, primarily due to foreign exchange losses in the first nine months of 2008 on assets in currencies other than the US dollar.

Income Tax Credits (Charge), Net

In the first nine months of 2008, we recorded a net tax credit of $0.5 million, primarily relating to research and development tax credits in the United Kingdom, for which we became eligible starting in August 2008. The credit recorded in the first nine months of 2008 is based on the Company’s effective tax rate, which includes the effects of the tax credits. Such tax credit reflects an estimate of eligible research and development costs to be incurred through the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company recorded a tax charge of $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2007. The Company was not eligible for the research and development tax credits in the UK in 2007.

Deemed Dividend Upon Issuance of Stock

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

For the reasons described above, we incurred a net loss of $26.6 million, or $(0.45) per share, in the nine months ended September 28, 2008, compared to a net loss of $26.7 million, or $(0.65) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 28, 2008 we had cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and current restricted cash of $31.1 million, as compared to $36.7 million at December 31, 2007. As of September 28, 2008, this consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $21.9 million, short-term investments totaling $9.0 million and $0.2 million of restricted cash in current assets. In addition, we had restricted cash of $1.1 million in other non-current assets. We have no material capital commitments.

Since inception, we have financed our operations through private sales of convertible preferred stock, public offerings of common stock and a secured bank line of credit.

For the nine months ended September 28, 2008, we used $9.2 million of cash for operating activities, compared with an operating cash outflow of $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The operating cash outflow for the first nine months of 2008 was primarily a result of the:

· net loss of $26.6 million;

· decrease of $2.7 million in accounts payable;

· decrease of $1.7 million in deferred revenue; and

· decrease of $1.6 million in other accrued expenses.

The cash outflow was offset by:

· decrease of $14.6 million in receivables; and

· decrease of $3.6 million in inventory.

Days sales outstanding were at 76 days at the end of the third quarter of 2008, up from 67 days at the end of the second quarter of 2008. The change from the end of the second quarter of 2008 to the end of the third quarter of 2008 primarily reflects the lower revenue level in the most recent period. Inventory turns were 4.2 for the third quarter of 2008, compared with 4.8 for the second quarter of 2008. The change in inventory turns is primarily attributable to the lower cost of sales in the third quarter.

The net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 28, 2008 was $5.0 million. The investing cash outflow for the first nine months of 2008 resulted from $3.5 million of net purchases of investment securities and $1.5 million of fixed asset purchases.

Our net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 28, 2008 was $5.4 million, including $5.0 million drawn down on the line of credit, $0.3 million from sales of stock under the ESPP plan and $0.1 million from the exercise of stock options.

As of September 28, 2008, our material commitments consisted of obligations on operating leases, repayment of principal and interest owed on the Tekes Loans and purchase commitments to our manufacturing subcontractors. These purchase commitments totaled $22.7 million at September 28, 2008 and $25.0 million at September 30, 2007.

We have explored and may in the future explore and pursue other perceived opportunities to acquire wireless access and related businesses. We may seek to acquire such businesses through a variety of different legal structures and may utilize cash, common stock, preferred stock, other securities or some combination thereof to finance the acquisition. In connection with such activities, we are subject to a variety of risks, a number of which are described further in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2008 and under Item 1A of Part II in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 28, 2008. There can be no assurance that any efforts we may make to acquire other businesses will be successful.

We have raised equity in the past and may in the future seek to raise additional equity or debt capital to assist us in financing an acquisition and/or our on-going business operations or those of any business that we may in the future acquire. Among other securities, we may seek to sell additional shares of common stock, or shares of an existing or newly designated class of preferred stock or debt securities. We have not, as of the date of this report, entered into any definitive financing arrangements other than those described above. Particularly in light of extraordinary market conditions, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure equity or debt capital in amounts and on terms acceptable to us. Although we will seek to secure financing on terms and conditions favorable to the Company and its existing shareholders, we may seek to raise capital by issuing securities, which, under certain circumstances, enjoy certain preferences and/or priorities relative to the common stock or which may result in material dilution of the interests of our existing shareholders.

Until we are able to generate positive cash flow from operations, if ever, we intend to use our existing cash resources and the Loan and Security Agreement, if available, together with, depending on market conditions and opportunities, the net proceeds of external financings to finance our operations. We currently believe we will have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations for at least the next twelve months.

On April 25, 2008, the Company received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Notice”) notifying the Company that for the 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). The Notice also stated that pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company had been provided 180 calendar days, or until October 22, 2008, to regain compliance.

On October 20, 2008, the Company received notification that NASDAQ has suspended for a three month period the enforcement of the rules requiring a minimum $1 closing bid price or a minimum market value of publicly held shares. NASDAQ has said that it will not take any action to delist any security for these concerns during the suspension. NASDAQ has stated that, given the current extraordinary market conditions, this suspension will remain in effect through Friday, January 16, 2009 and will be reinstated on Monday, January 19, 2009. As a result of this suspension, the Company now has until January 26, 2009 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule.

As a result of the suspension, if, at any time before January 26, 2009, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, we expect that NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum bid price rule.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid rule by January 26, 2009, NASDAQ will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal NASDAQ’s determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company may also apply to transfer its securities to The NASDAQ Capital Market if it satisfies the requirements for initial inclusion set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c) on such date. If the Company’s application is approved, the Company will be afforded the remainder of this market’s second 180 calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance while its common stock remains listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

On November 5, 2008, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The definitive proxy statement, among other things, contains a proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, effecting a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors within a range of one-for-five shares to one-for-fifteen shares. The Company believes that such a reverse stock split will help facilitate the continued listing of its common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market and enhance the desirability and marketability of its common stock to the financial community and the investing public. The Company currently plans to hold a special meeting of shareholders to vote on the reverse stock split proposal on December 16, 2008.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s earnings are affected by changes in interest rates. As of September 28, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had cash, cash equivalents, short term investments and restricted cash of $31.2 million and $36.7 million, respectively. These amounts consisted of highly liquid investments, with more than 55% having purchase to maturity terms of 90 days or less. The balance has maturity terms of between 92 to 361 days. These investments are exposed to interest rate risk, but a hypothetical increase or decrease in market interest rates by two percentage points from September 28, 2008 rates would cause the fair market value of these short-term investments to change by an insignificant amount. Due to the short duration of these investments, a short-term increase in interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Declines in interest rates over time would, however, reduce our interest income. Due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken to mitigate this, and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis does not take into account any such action.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

For the nine months ended September 28, 2008, 93% of our sales were denominated in US dollars, 2% were denominated in pounds sterling, 2% were denominated in Australian dollars, 2% were denominated in euro and 1% were denominated in the New Israeli Shekel. Comparatively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, 79% of our sales were denominated in US dollars, 17% were denominated in euro, 1% were denominated in pounds sterling and 3% were denominated in Australian dollars. Our total pounds sterling denominated sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2008 were $1.1 million, which were recorded at an average exchange rate of $1US = GBP £0.50962. Our total Australian dollar denominated sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2008 were $1.1 million, which were recorded at an average exchange rate of $1US = AUS$1.08746. Our total euro denominated sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2008 were $1.1 million, which were recorded at an average exchange rate of $1US = €0.65534. Our total New Israeli Shekel denominated sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2008 were $0.6 million, which were recorded at an average exchange rate of $1US = 3.5257 Shekels. If the average exchange rates used had been higher or lower during the nine month period ended September 28, 2008 by 10%, they would have decreased or increased the total pounds sterling, Australian dollar, euro and New Israeli Shekel-denominated sales value by a total of $0.4 million. We expect the proportions of sales in euro, Australian dollars and New Israeli Shekels to fluctuate over time. The Company’s sensitivity analysis for changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not take into account changes in sales volumes.

For the nine months ended September 28, 2008, we incurred the majority of our cost of revenue in US dollars.

The Company’s operating results are affected by movements in foreign currency exchange rates against the US dollar, particularly the UK pound sterling and New Israeli Shekel. This is because most of our operating expenses, which may fluctuate over time, are incurred in pounds sterling and New Israeli Shekels.

During the nine months ended September 28, 2008, we paid expenses in local currency of approximately 11.5 million pounds sterling, at an average exchange rate of $1US = GBP £0.50962.. During the nine months ended September 28, 2008, we paid expenses in local currency of approximately 42.7 million New Israeli Shekels, at an average exchange rate of $1US = 3.5257 Shekels. If the average exchange rates for pounds sterling and New Israeli Shekels had been higher or lower for the nine month period ended September 28, 2008 by 10%, the total pounds sterling and New Israeli Shekel-denominated operating expenses would have decreased or increased by $2.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

We expect the proportions of operating expenses paid in pounds sterling and New Israeli Shekels to fluctuate over time.

We do not enter into any currency hedging activities for speculative purposes.

Equity Price Risk

We do not own any equity investments, other than the shares of our subsidiaries. As a result, we do not currently have any direct equity price risk.

Commodity Price

We do not enter into contracts for the purchase or sale of commodities. As a result, we do not currently have any direct commodity price risk.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, and the similar evaluation undertaken at the end of 2007, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 28, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s third quarter of 2008 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

As of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter (June 29, 2008), our public float, as calculated in accordance with Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 12b-2"), was less than $50 million. As such, in addition to our being an accelerated filer (as defined in Rule 12b-2), we also became a smaller reporting company (as defined in Rule 12b-2) on such date. At the end of our fiscal year, we will cease to be an accelerated filer and will only be a smaller reporting company.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We have received letters/communications from Wi-LAN offering licenses of various Wi-LAN patents and contending that products complying with 802.11 and 802.16 standards are covered by certain patents allegedly owned by Wi-LAN. The Company, in consultation with its patent counsel, has been reviewing Wi-LAN's allegations and has had extensive correspondence with Wi-LAN regarding those allegations. Wi-LAN continues to threaten the Company with litigation unless it negotiates a license with Wi-LAN with respect to the patents in question. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except for the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and Item 1A of Part II of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2008.

Current adverse economic conditions could negatively impact the Company’s business.

The Company’s operations are affected by local, national and worldwide economic conditions. The consequences of a prolonged recession may include a lower level of economic activity and uncertainty regarding capital and commodity markets. A lower level of economic activity may adversely affect the Company’s revenues and future growth, as well as the future growth of the WiMAX market upon which our business is substantially dependent. The current instability in the financial markets, as a result of recession or otherwise, may also affect the cost of capital and the Company’s ability to raise capital.

Current economic conditions may be exacerbated by insufficient financial sector liquidity which may impact our customers’ ability to pay timely for our products, increase customer bankruptcies and may lead to increased bad debts.
