NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

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 and

Voice-over-Internet Protocol, 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 (stationary) point to multi-point

applications. Our development of new technology has expanded the market to include portable and mobile

applications. The Company’s main operations are in Uxbridge, United Kingdom, and Airport City, Israel, with

corporate headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida.

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.

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, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial

statements at that date included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 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, 2008. Our Annual

Report on Form 10-K can be found online at www.sec.gov.

All notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are shown in thousands, except for share and per

share data.

NOTE 3 - ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

The total restructuring charge in 2008 was $1.9 million, including $1.5 million related to headcount reduction

and $0.4 million of asset write-offs related to the restructuring. In the first quarter of 2009, the total restructuring

charge was $0.1 million.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

As of March 29, 2009, 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

(―Tekes‖) and purchase commitments to our manufacturing subcontractors. These purchase commitments totaled

$10.5 million at March 29, 2009. We have no material capital commitments.

Warranty

The Company provides a limited warranty for periods, usually ranging from 12 to 24 months, to all purchasers

of its new equipment. Warranty expense is accrued 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.

Information regarding the changes in the Company’s product warranty liabilities is as follows for the three

months ended March 29, 2009.

Other guarantees

At March 29, 2009, the Company had pledged cash to the banks as collateral for guarantees aggregating $1.0

million, of which $0.1 million is recorded as restricted cash in current assets and $0.9 million is recorded as other

non-current assets. The Company has also issued guarantees to customers under the line of credit provided by

Silicon Valley Bank for a total of $1.6 million, which does not require any related pledge of cash collateral. The

Company has not recognized any liability for these guarantees as in management’s opinion the likelihood of having

to make payments under the guarantees is remote. These guarantees will all expire before the end of the first quarter

of 2010 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. These loans totaled $1.9 million at March 29, 2009, which

includes $0.2 million of accrued interest, and are recorded in current and long-term debt. This guarantee expires

only when Airspan Networks (Finland) Oy has fulfilled all its obligations to Tekes.

Legal claims

Beginning in July 2001, the Company, its President and Chief Executive Officer Eric D. Stonestrom, its former

Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, its Chairman Matthew Desch and its former Executive Vice

President and Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Paget (the ―Individual Defendants‖) were named as defendants in a

class action complaint alleging violations of the federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the

Southern District of New York. A Consolidated Amended Complaint, which is now the operative complaint, was

filed on April 19, 2002.

The purported class action 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 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The essence of the

complaint is that defendants issued and sold the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Registration Statement

for the July 20, 2000 Initial Public Offering (―IPO‖) without disclosing to investors that certain underwriters in the

offering had solicited and received excessive and undisclosed commissions from certain investors. The complaint

also alleges that the Registration Statement for the IPO failed to disclose that the underwriters allocated Company

shares in the IPO to customers in exchange for the customers’ promises to purchase additional shares in the

aftermarket at pre-determined prices above the IPO price, thereby maintaining, distorting and/or inflating the market

price for the shares in the aftermarket. The action seeks damages in an unspecified amount.

This action is being coordinated with approximately three hundred other nearly identical actions filed against

other companies. On July 15, 2002, the Company moved to dismiss all claims against it and the Individual

Defendants. 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, since these claims were

asserted only against the Individual Defendants. On February 19, 2003, the Court dismissed the Section 10(b) claim

against the Company, but denied the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claim.

At the Court’s request, plaintiffs selected six ―focus‖ cases, which do not include Airspan. The Court indicated

that its decisions in the six focus cases are intended to provide strong guidance for the parties in the remaining cases.

On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases, and on September 27, 2007, the

plaintiffs moved to certify a class in these cases. On November 14, 2007, the defendants in the six focus cases filed

motions to dismiss. 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 the plaintiffs, the motion for class certification was withdrawn,

without prejudice.

On April 3, 2009, the plaintiffs submitted to the Court a motion for preliminary approval of a settlement of the

approximately 300 coordinated cases, which includes Airspan, the underwriter defendants in Airspan’s class action

lawsuit, and the plaintiff class in Airspan’s class action lawsuit. The insurers for the issuer defendants in the

coordinated cases will make the settlement payment on behalf of the issuers, including Airspan. The settlement is

subject to termination by the parties under certain circumstances, and Court approval. There is no assurance that the

Court will approve the settlement.

Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the outcome of this matter. If the

settlement is not approved, the litigation continues, and Airspan is found liable, the Company is 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 its results of operations or financial

condition in any future period.

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. The Company resolved its previously reported

patent dispute with Wi-Lan Inc. (―Wi-Lan‖) in connection with the sale of a number of CDMA (―Code Division

Multiple Access‖) related patents to Wi-Lan on April 30, 2009. For more information regarding this sale, please see

Note 9.

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 March 29, 2009, the Company had three stock option plans (the 1998 Stock Option and Restricted Stock

Plan, the 2001 Supplemental Stock Option Plan, and the 2003 Supplemental Stock Option Plan), the 2004 Omnibus

Equity Compensation Plan, and the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 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. 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 March 29, 2009, the Company

had reserved a total of 16,413,976 shares of its common stock for issuance under the above plans.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense under Statement of Financial Accounting

Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (―SFAS 123(R)‖), for the three months ended March 29, 2009 and

March 30, 2008, which was allocated as follows (in thousands): Three months ended

2009 2008

Research and development $ 137 $ 280

Sales and marketing 116 147

General and administrative 263 276

Stock-based compensation expense included in operating expense 516 703

Cost of sales 19 33

Total stock-based compensation $ 535 $ 736

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 three months of 2009 or 2008. The fair value of

each restricted stock award is estimated on the date of grant using the intrinsic value method.

There were no options granted during the first three months of 2009. The weighted average fair value of each

option granted during the first three months of 2008 was $0.78. 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:

Three Months Ended

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 ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS PER SHARE

Net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed using the weighted average number of

shares of common stock outstanding less the number of shares subject to repurchase. 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:

There were 7,804,199 stock options outstanding at March 29, 2009 and 6,907,538 stock options outstanding at

March 30, 2008 that were 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 March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008, 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 March 29, 2009 and March

30, 2008, respectively. There were 53,037 and 107,940 non-vested shares of restricted stock at March 29, 2009 and

March 30, 2008, respectively, that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect

was anti-dilutive.

NOTE 8 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (―FASB‖) issued FSP 107-1 and Accounting

Principles Board (―APB‖) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (―FSP 107-1‖). FSP

107-1 amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about

fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual

financial statements. FSP 107-1 also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those

disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim

reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.

FSP 107-1 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In

periods after initial adoption, FSP 107-1 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial

adoption. The Company does not expect the changes associated with the adoption of FSP 107-1 to have a material

impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 115-2 and 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary

Impairments (―FSP 115-2 and 124-2‖). FSP 115-2 and 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment

guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure

of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP 115-2 and 124-2

does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of

equity securities. FSP 115-2 and 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15,

2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. FSP 115-2 and 124-2 does not require

disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial

adoption, FSP 115-2 and 124-2 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The

Company does not expect the changes associated with the adoption of FSP 115-2 and 124-2 to have a material effect

on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity

for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (―FSP

157-4‖). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair

Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.

FSP 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4

is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for

periods ending after March 15, 2009. FSP 157-4 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for

comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FSP 157-4 requires comparative

the adoption of FSP 157-4 to have a material effect on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 30, 2009, the Company sold a number of CDMA related patents to Wi-LAN for total consideration of

$11 million. On the same date, the Company entered into a perpetual non-exclusive license with Wi-LAN for a one-

time payment of $3 million. Of the net $8 million proceeds, $2 million was used for repayment of outstanding

borrowings under the revolving line of credit.

On April 30, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security

Agreement with SVB. Under this amendment, the revolving line of credit available to the Company was capped at

$6.9 million the then current outstanding borrowing. As a result of the sale of CDMA related patents to Wi-LAN,

this facility was reduced by $2 million to $4.9 million.

ITEM 4. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for

the year ended December 31, 2008, as well as the financial statements and notes thereto. Except for historical

matters contained herein, statements made in this quarterly report 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. 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, 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 four 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.

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,

2008. With the exception of the items discussed in Note 8 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 three months ended March 29, 2009. Our Annual Report on

Form 10-K can be found online at www.sec.gov.

A. Results of Operations

Comparison of the Quarter Ended March 29, 2009 to the Quarter Ended March 30, 2008

Revenue

Revenue totaled $11.1 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2009, representing a 35% decrease from the

$17.2 million reported for the quarter ended March 30, 2008. WiMAX revenues decreased to $10.0 million in the

quarter ending March 29, 2009 from $13.3 million in the quarter ending March 30, 2008. Non-WiMAX revenues

decreased to $1.2 million in the quarter ending March 29, 2009 from $3.9 million in the quarter ending March 30,

2008. The first quarter historically has seasonally lower revenue than other quarters.

Geographically, in the first three months of 2009, approximately 51% of our revenue was derived from

customers in Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean, 16% from customers in Europe, 14% from customers in

Africa and the Middle East, 13% from customers in the United States and Canada and 6% from customers in Asia.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue reduced 34% to $7.8 million in the quarter ended March 29, 2009 from $11.9 million in the

quarter ended March 30, 2008, primarily due to decreased sales. The gross profit for the first quarter of 2009 was

$3.3 million (30% of revenue) compared to a gross profit of $5.2 million (31% of revenue) for the first quarter of

2008.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased 43% to $8.9 million in the quarter ending March 29, 2009 from $15.6

million in the quarter ending March 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to a 30% reduction of personnel, in

conjunction with reduced travel, trade show and subcontract development expenses in the first quarter of 2009.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased 52% to $3.3 million in the quarter ended March 29, 2009 from

$6.9 million in the quarter ended March 30, 2008. The decrease year over year is primarily due to reduced personnel

and subcontract development costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 47% to $2.3 million in the quarter ended March 29, 2009 from $4.2

million in the quarter ended March 30, 2008. The decrease as compared to the first quarter of 2008 is primarily

attributable to lower headcount related costs, travel costs and trade show expenses in the first quarter of 2009.

Bad Debt Provision

In the first quarter of 2009, we did not record a provision for bad debts. We recorded bad debt provisions of

$47 thousand in the first quarter of 2008.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased 25% to $3.1 million in the quarter ended March 29, 2009 from

$4.1 million in the quarter ended March 30, 2008. The decrease from the first quarter of 2008 was primarily

attributable to reduced headcount related costs and reduced professional fees in the first quarter of 2009.

Amortization of Intangibles

We recorded amortization of intangibles expense of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared with

amortization of intangibles expense of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2008. 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. The amortization of other intangibles related to an acquisition of assets in

2003. Such amortization of other intangibles ended in 2008.

Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2009, we recorded a restructuring charge of $0.1 million. In the first quarter of 2008, we

did not record a restructuring charge.

Interest Income (Expense), Net

At March 29, 2009, the outstanding principal and accrued interest payable on loans made to us by the Finnish

Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (the ―Tekes Loans‖) was $1.9 million. We also had outstanding

borrowings under the bank line of credit of $5.1 million. In the first quarter of 2009, we had interest income of $44

thousand compared to interest income of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to lower bank

balances in the first quarter of 2009 and lower average interest rates. Interest expense did not change materially in

the first quarter of 2009 compared to 2008.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net decreased to an expense of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 from income of

$0.2 million in the first quarter of 2008, primarily due to foreign exchange differences on non-cash balances.

Income Tax Credits (Charge), Net

In the first quarter of 2009, we recorded a net tax credit of $0.1 million compared to a net tax charge of $50

thousand in the first quarter of 2008. The tax credit in the first quarter of 2009 primarily relates to research and

development tax credits in the United Kingdom. No other income tax benefit has been recorded for the tax losses

generated because we have incurred operating losses since inception.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

For the reasons described above, we incurred a net loss of $5.8 million, or $(0.10) per share, in the quarter

ended March 29, 2009, compared to a net loss of $10.1 million, or $(0.17) per share, in the quarter ended March 30,

2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 29, 2009 we had cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and current restricted cash of $7.6

million, as compared to $22.5 million at December 31, 2008. As of March 29, 2009, this consisted of cash and cash

equivalents totaling $3.6 million, short-term investments totaling $3.9 million and $0.1 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.

Effective March 25, 2009, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Airspan Communications Limited, entered

into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (―SVB‖). The term of the

credit line expires on March 31, 2010. Prior to the amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security

Agreement discussed below, we were able to, subject to certain adjustments, borrow up to the lesser of

(i) $20 million, and (ii) (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus (as long as the Company’s worldwide cash and

investments exceeded $20 million, and the Company’s cash and investments maintained at SVB and its affiliates

exceeded $15 million) and (b) the lesser of (1) 60% of eligible inventory, and (2) $8 million. In February 2009, the

Company repaid $7.4 million under our agreement with SVB as the Company was no longer eligible to borrow

against inventory, as the Company’s worldwide cash and investments did not exceed $20 million and the

Company’s cash and investments maintained at SVB and its affiliates did not exceed $15 million. The Company

was not eligible to make borrowings under the inventory portion of the line at March 29, 2009. We are currently

drawing on the credit line and we expect to continue to use it in 2009. The credit facility requires us to satisfy

certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a minimum Tangible Net Worth and a minimum Adjusted

Quick Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement). As of March 29, 2009, the

minimum tangible net worth requirement under our agreement with SVB was $18 million and the Company’s actual

tangible net worth was $22.0 million. The amended required minimum tangible net worth at June 30, 2009,

September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and thereafter is $14 million, $13 million and $12 million, respectively,

subject to certain adjustments based on positive earnings and equity issuances. Assuming that we are able to

achieve our planned sales levels and contain expenses and cash resources used in accordance with our 2009 financial

plan, we currently believe that we will be able to meet the required minimum tangible net worth covenants as

amended and restated. 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 would give rise to a default under the

Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. In the event of an uncured default, the Amended and

Restated Loan and Security Agreement provides that all amounts owed to SVB may be declared immediately due

and payable and that SVB has the right to enforce its security interest in our assets.

The Amended and Restated 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

March 29, 2009, $5.1 million of indebtedness was outstanding under our agreement with SVB. During most of the

first quarter of 2009, advances under our agreement with SVB bore interest at SVB’s prime rate plus a percentage

ranging from 0.0% to 1.75% per annum depending on certain financial and collateral tests. Effective March 25,

2009, amounts payable under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bear interest at SVB’s prime

rate plus 4.0% subject to a minimum rate of 8.0% per annum.

On April 30, 2009, we sold a number of CDMA related patents to Wi-Lan Inc. (―Wi-Lan‖) for total

consideration of $11.0 million and received net cash proceeds (after a one-time payment of $3.0 million to Wi-Lan

for a perpetual non-exclusive license to their WiMAX and Wi-Fi patents) of $8.0 million. Of the net $8 million

proceeds, $2 million was used for repayment of outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit. On April

30, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with

SVB. Under this amendment, the revolving line of credit available to the Company was reduced to $4.9 million

after the sale of CDMA related patents to Wi-LAN.

For the three months ended March 29, 2009, we used $6.9 million of cash for operating activities, compared

with an operating cash outflow of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. The operating cash

outflow for the first three months of 2009 was primarily a result of the:

net loss of $5.8 million; decrease of $3.8 million in accounts payable; and

decrease of $1.3 million in accrued expenses. The cash outflow was partially offset by the: decrease of $1.5 million in receivables; and decrease of $1.0 million in other current assets.

Days sales outstanding were at 64 days at the end of the first quarter of 2009, up from 60 days at the end of the

fourth quarter of 2008. The change from the end of the fourth quarter of 2008 to the end of the first quarter of 2009

primarily reflects the lower revenue and net accounts receivable balances in the most recent period. Inventory turns

were 2.4 for the first quarter of 2009, down from 3.1 for the fourth quarter of 2008, primarily due to lower cost of

sales for the first quarter of 2009.

The net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2009 was $3.2 million. The

investing cash inflow for the first three months of 2009 resulted from $3.8 million of net proceeds from the sale of

investment securities, net of $0.6 million of fixed asset purchases.

Our net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2009 was $7.4 million related to

the repayment of borrowings under the line of credit.

As of March 29, 2009, 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 $10.5 million at March 29, 2009 and $11.9 million at March 30, 2008.

Until we are able to generate positive cash flow from operations, if ever, we intend to use our existing cash

resources and the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, if available, together with, depending on

market conditions and opportunities, the net proceeds of equity financings and asset sales to finance our operations.

We expect to fund our operations during the remainder of 2009 from existing cash resources, the continued use of

our loan facility with SVB, the sale of certain assets and the receipt of research and development tax credits.

However, there can be no certainty that we will not require additional funding in the next 12 months or, if needed,

that any such funding will be available.

We recognize that our need for capital in future periods may increase due to a variety of factors, estimates and

assumptions. If our projected demand for capital materially increases and our then current and/or projected cash

resources have not increased a comparable amount, we may need to modify our existing business plan or seek new

capital which may be available only on terms that may not be acceptable to the Company, especially in light of

current adverse economic conditions. If we are compelled to adopt further measures to conserve cash resources due

to the lack of availability of capital, such measures may adversely affect our results of operations and the short-term

and/or long-term prospects for our business.

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.

B. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 5. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in July 2001, the Company, its President and Chief Executive Officer Eric D. Stonestrom, its former

Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, its Chairman Matthew Desch and its former Executive Vice

President and Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Paget (the ―Individual Defendants‖) were named as defendants in a

class action complaint alleging violations of the federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the

Southern District of New York. A Consolidated Amended Complaint, which is now the operative complaint, was

filed on April 19, 2002.

The purported class action 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 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The essence of the

complaint is that defendants issued and sold the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Registration Statement

for the July 20, 2000 Initial Public Offering (―IPO‖) without disclosing to investors that certain underwriters in the

offering had solicited and received excessive and undisclosed commissions from certain investors. The complaint

also alleges that the Registration Statement for the IPO failed to disclose that the underwriters allocated Company

shares in the IPO to customers in exchange for the customers’ promises to purchase additional shares in the

aftermarket at pre-determined prices above the IPO price, thereby maintaining, distorting and/or inflating the market

price for the shares in the aftermarket. The action seeks damages in an unspecified amount.

This action is being coordinated with approximately three hundred other nearly identical actions filed against

other companies. On July 15, 2002, the Company moved to dismiss all claims against it and the Individual

Defendants. 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, since these claims were

asserted only against the Individual Defendants. On February 19, 2003, the Court dismissed the Section 10(b) claim

against the Company, but denied the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claim.

At the Court’s request, plaintiffs selected six ―focus‖ cases, which do not include Airspan. The Court indicated

that its decisions in the six focus cases are intended to provide strong guidance for the parties in the remaining cases.

On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases, and on September 27, 2007, the

plaintiffs moved to certify a class in these cases. On November 14, 2007, the defendants in the six focus cases filed

motions to dismiss. 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 the plaintiffs, the motion for class certification was withdrawn,

without prejudice.

On April 3, 2009, the plaintiffs submitted to the Court a motion for preliminary approval of a settlement of the

approximately 300 coordinated cases, which includes Airspan, the underwriter defendants in Airspan’s class action

lawsuit, and the plaintiff class in Airspan’s class action lawsuit. The insurers for the issuer defendants in the

coordinated cases will make the settlement payment on behalf of the issuers, including Airspan. The settlement is

subject to termination by the parties under certain circumstances, and Court approval. There is no assurance that the

Court will approve the settlement.

Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the outcome of this matter. If the

settlement is not approved, the litigation continues, and Airspan is found liable, the Company is 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 its results of operations or financial

condition in any future period.

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. The Company resolved its previously reported

patent dispute with Wi-Lan in connection with the sale of a number of CDMA related patents to Wi-Lan on April

30, 2009. For more information regarding this sale, please see Note 9 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated

Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

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.
