Independent Auditors’ Review Report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Glenayre Technologies, Inc.
Atlanta, Georgia

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Glenayre Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2002, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Glenayre Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated February 5, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands except per share data)
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Glenayre Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial information to conform with the presentation used in 2002. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. Glenayre’s financial results in any quarter are highly dependent upon various factors, including the timing and size of customer orders and the shipment of products for large orders. Large orders from customers can account for a significant portion of products shipped in any quarter. Accordingly, the shipment of products in fulfillment of such large orders can dramatically affect the results of operations of any single quarter.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Glenayre Technologies, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

2. Business Restructuring of Continuing Operations

In connection with the Company’s decisions to phase out its prepaid product line and relocate the Corporate headquarters from Charlotte, North Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia, during 2001, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $11.5 million. As a result of these restructuring activities, the Company incurred a reduction of approximately 220 positions impacting several functional areas of the Company and expensed approximately $5.4 million primarily for employee severance and outplacement services and approximately $2.1 million for consolidation and exit costs from its Charlotte, North Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia and Amsterdam, Netherlands facilities and approximately $2.2 million to accrue business exit costs and to reserve for excess inventories and customer receivables associated with the Company’s decision to abandon its prepaid product line. In addition, the Company recorded a $1.8 million charge associated with the impairment of long-lived assets which was classified as loss on disposal of assets in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2001.

The consolidation and exit process for all of these above facilities was completed by the end of the first quarter 2002. Payments and charges related to severance and outplacement services, and consolidation and exit costs were approximately $2.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The restructuring reserve balance was approximately $2.6 million at September 30, 2002. Management believes the remaining reserves for this business restructuring will be adequate to complete this consolidation and exit plan.

During the first quarter 2002, the Company recorded a restructuring credit of $210,000 primarily related to the collection of accounts receivable previously reserved for in the 2001 restructuring charge and the change in estimate of accrued severance benefits related to the reduction of the Company’s workforce.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands except per share data)
(Unaudited)

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $759,000 for severance and outplacement services related to the further reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 30 positions impacting several functional areas within the Company. Additionally, the Company recorded net favorable adjustments to its original estimates associated with the Company’s 2001 restructuring activities of $182,000 primarily related to a reduction in the prepaid product line warranty obligation partially offset by additional facility lease expenses.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $199,000 for severance and outplacement services related to the further reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 18 positions including 15 manufacturing positions at the Company’s Quincy, Illinois manufacturing facility.

The following is a summary of activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 related to the restructuring reserves:

3. Discontinued Operations

In May 2001, the Company began exiting its Wireless Messaging (Paging) business and refocusing all of its strategic efforts on its communications messaging systems business consisting of its Enhanced Services Platform and Unified Communication systems segment based in Atlanta, Georgia. As a result, the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment was reported as a disposal of a segment of business in the second quarter 2001.

(1)   Includes the results of discontinued operations from the beginning of the period to May 23, 2002, the end of the transition period.

The net income (loss) from discontinued operations consists of (a) operating losses incurred in the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment adjusted for cash received from Wireless Messaging (Paging) trade receivables previously reserved and (b) an estimated loss on disposal of the segment which includes charges for the following: (i) the write-off of goodwill and other intangibles, (ii) reserves on property, plant and equipment, (iii) customer accounts and notes receivable settlement costs, (iv) employee termination costs, (v) inventory and non-inventory purchase commitments, (vi) anticipated losses from operations during a no more than twelve month transition period, (vii) facility exit and lease termination costs, (viii) expenses to be incurred to fulfill contractual obligations existing prior to the formal disposal date and (ix) related net tax expense, primarily related to a valuation allowance for related deferred tax assets. Numerous estimates and assumptions were made in determining the net realizable value related to the discontinued assets and various obligations noted above. These estimates are subject to adjustment resulting from, but not limited to, future changes in real estate market conditions or changes in estimates related to the wind down plan.

In the fourth quarter of 2001, as a result of the Company’s review of the estimated asset values and liabilities and future commitments related to the discontinued operations, a net reduction in the loss on disposal of $408,000 was recorded. The adjustments to the original estimates made at May 23, 2001 were additional write-downs of the Vancouver and Singapore facilities offset by better than anticipated revenues during the transition period, favorable negotiation of inventory purchase commitments and the sale of intellectual property.

During the second and third quarters of 2002, the Company recorded additional reductions in the loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $15.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as a result of the Company’s review of the estimated asset values and liabilities and future commitments related to the discontinued operations. These further adjustments to the original estimates made in May 2001 were primarily due to better than anticipated revenues during the transition period, collections of accounts receivable previously reserved for, better than expected warranty experience and reduced income tax liabilities offset by additional write-down of the market values of the Vancouver and Singapore facilities.

During September 2002, the Company received proceeds associated with notes receivable, which were fully reserved for, from a former wireless messaging customer as the result of the former customer emerging from bankruptcy under its plan of reorganization. Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, the Company received cash payments of approximately $1.2 million, including $432,000 related to prepayments for 2003 Glenayre Care services, newly issued notes receivable of approximately $3.6 million and approximately 235,000 shares of the former customer’s reorganized common stock. Given the uncertainty of the former customer’s future business operations, the Company has fully reserved the notes receivable and the investment in the common stock. However, the Company will continue to monitor the former customer’s operating performance in the future and may change its estimate of the net realizable values associated with the notes receivable and the investment in the common stock.

4. Sale of Facility

In January 2002, the Company sold its building held for sale located in Quincy, Illinois for cash proceeds of approximately $4.4 million. The Company has entered into a five-year lease with the purchaser for approximately 66,000 square feet of the building. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $523,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001 upon writing the building down to its fair value less cost to sell.

5. Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments

Restricted cash at September 30, 2002 consisted of term deposits pledged as collateral to secure letters of credit substantially all of which expire in less than one year.

In connection with the introduction of new products and services as well as in an effort to demonstrate its products to new and existing customers, the Company, from time to time, delivers new product test systems for demonstration and testing to customer third-party locations. The Company expenses the cost associated with new product test equipment upon the shipment from the Company’s facilities.

8. Other Assets and Comprehensive Income

During the first six months of 2002 the Company sold its remaining investment in Proxim Corporation (“Proxim”) which merged in March 2002 with Western Multiplex Corporation, a former subsidiary, of which the Company sold 95% of the equity in November 1999. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company sold 136,800 and 1.6 million shares of Proxim stock at a pre-tax gain of $301,000 and $13.5 million, respectively. As of May 2002, the Company has fully liquidated its shares of Proxim and accordingly, the Company realized all previously unrealized holding gains related to this available-for-sale security. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company sold 420,700 shares of Proxim stock at a pre-tax gain of $1.6 million.

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $77,000 related to the decline in value deemed to be other than temporary on an additional available-for-sale security held by the Company. In addition, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $475,000 related to its investment in a privately held company. This impairment charge was determined based upon management’s review of the valuations of publicly traded companies in similar sectors and other factors such as the status of the investees’ technology, operating performance and financial condition.

Comprehensive income (loss) was $(1.8) million and $(2.7) million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and $12.8 million and $(277.7) million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

9. Income Taxes

The Company’s consolidated income tax provision (benefit) was different from the amount computed using the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate for the following reasons:

In the first quarter of 2002, the Company posted a one-time benefit for refundable alternative minimum taxes under the “Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002” (the Act) of $2.5 million. The Act became effective on March 9, 2002 and, among other things, extends the carryback period for net

operating losses from two to five years for taxpayers with net operating losses for any tax year ending during 2001 or 2002. The new provision also temporarily suspends the 90% limitation found in Internal Revenue Code Section 56(d)(1) on the use of net operating loss carrybacks arising in tax years ending in 2001 and 2002 for alternative minimum tax purposes. Therefore, taxpayers that have paid alternative minimum tax because of the 90% limitation on the use of net operating losses to offset alternative minimum taxable income, can utilize this provision to obtain a refund.

11. Segment Reporting

In May 2001, the Company began exiting its Wireless Messaging (Paging) business segment. As a result of the discontinuance of the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment, the Company currently operates in one business segment, the Enhanced Services and Unified Communications segment, its continuing operations. Glenayre systems allow users to manage voice, fax and e-mail messages in a single, centralized mailbox and are designed on open platforms with a standards-based architecture supporting IP and traditional telephony networks for the evolution from 2G to 2.5G and 3G services.

12. Contingent Liability

On November 1, 1999, the Company sold 95% of the equity in its microwave radio business, Western Multiplex Corporation, which merged with Proxim Corporation in March 2002. The Company is contingently liable for Proxim’s building lease payments through June 2006. The maximum contingent liability as of September 30, 2002 for this obligation is approximately $2.4 million.

13. Related Party Transactions

In August 2001, in connection with the relocation of its President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company loaned the executive $350,000, which was fully secured by his primary residence. In May 2002, the loan was repaid in full. The promissory note bore interest at 6.75%, required 11 monthly payments of $2,500 and the balance was to be paid on or before August 10, 2002.

14. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (FAS 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations for a disposal of a segment of a business. FAS 144 was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2002 and the initial adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company has facilities associated with its discontinued paging operations located in Vancouver, British Columbia and Singapore. These facilities are currently being actively marketed for sale and are considered held for sale assets. The Company will continue to monitor the status of the sales activities and market conditions surrounding these held for sale facilities throughout the remainder of 2002 and the potential impacts of FAS 144 should these facilities not be sold on or prior to December 31, 2002.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (FAS 146). FAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring. FAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, whereas EITF 94-3 had recognized the liability at the commitment date to an exit plan. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FAS 146 effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement.

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

The Company, from time to time, makes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements reflect the expectations of management of the Company at the time such statements are made. The reader can identify such forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intend(s),” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements.

Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results” below. All forward-looking statements included in this Report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to the Company on the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Overview

Glenayre is a global provider of communications messaging systems including Enhanced Services and Unified Communications solutions and products for service providers including wireless, fixed network, ISP and broadband. The Company designs, manufactures, markets and services its products principally under the Glenayre name. The Company’s Enhanced Services and Unified Communications products include a broad range of integrated messaging and personal communications services, such as voice, fax and e-mail messaging, voice navigation and voice dialing and unified communications. The Company’s Unified Communications platform allows service providers to provide their subscribers access to voice, fax and e-mail messages from a single mailbox. Subscribers can create, send, receive and be notified of voice, fax and e-mail messages with a web browser, a wireless personal digital assistant or any mobile, wireless or wireline telephone.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General. The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company 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 on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, bad debts, inventories, investments, income taxes, warranty obligations and restructuring as well as contractual obligations associated with its discontinued Wireless Messaging (Paging) business. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the guidance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” and with Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and related interpretations. The Company recognizes revenue for products sold at the time delivery occurs and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable by the Company. The Company recognizes service revenues from installation and repair services when such services are provided to customers. Revenues derived from contractual post-contract support

16


Table of Contents

services are recognized ratably over the contract support period. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings including special pricing agreements and other volume-based incentives. If market conditions were to decline, the Company may take actions to increase customer incentive offerings possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time the incentive is offered.

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is significant because its revenue is a key component of the Company’s results of operations. In addition, the Company’s revenue recognition determines the timing of certain expenses, such as commissions and royalties. The Company follows specific detailed guidelines in measuring revenue, however, certain judgments affect the application of its revenue policy. Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause the Company’s operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses.

Commitments and Contingencies. During the ordinary course of business contingencies arise resulting from an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible gain, a gain contingency, or loss, a loss contingency, that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Resolution of the uncertainty may confirm the acquisition of an asset or the reduction of a liability or the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability. When loss contingencies exist, such as, but not limited to, pending or threatened litigation, actual or possible claims and assessments, collectability of receivables or obligations related to product warranties and product defects or statutory obligations, the likelihood of the future event or events occurring generally will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability. The Company accounts for such contingencies in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5.

Bad Debt. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. On a monthly basis the Company applies a reserve calculation based on the agings of its receivables and either increases or decreases its estimate of doubtful accounts accordingly. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Warranties. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

Inventory. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. In connection with the introduction of new products and services as well as in an effort to demonstrate its products to new and existing customers, the Company, from time to time, delivers new product test systems for demonstration and test to customer third-party locations. The Company expenses the cost associated with new product test equipment upon shipment from the Company’s facilities.

Accrued Restructuring and Discontinued Operations. During fiscal year 2001, the Company recorded significant estimated liabilities and made significant revaluations of assets to their fair values net of selling costs in connection with the discontinuance of its Wireless Messaging (Paging) business and restructurings related to its continuing operations. These liabilities include, among other things, estimates pertaining to employee separation costs, and the settlements of contractual obligations resulting from these activities. Since the actual costs may differ from these original estimates, the Company performs on-going evaluations of the original estimates and makes revisions accordingly.

Deferred Taxes. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. At September 30, 2002, the Company’s net deferred tax asset was fully reserved. The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred asset at September 30, 2002 and determined due to the significant net operating losses, primarily relating to the Company’s discontinued Wireless Messaging (Paging) business and recent operating losses incurred by its remaining restructured business, no historical basis for projecting future taxable income exists and therefore the entire net deferred tax asset should be reserved. While the Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made.

Discontinued Operations

In May 2001, as a result of the rapid decline in both the paging infrastructure and device market and certain paging carriers’ financial health, the Company adopted a plan to exit the Wireless Messaging (Paging) business. Wireless messaging products included switches, transmitters, receivers, controllers and related software and two-way messaging devices. As a result, the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment was reported as a disposal of a segment of business in the second quarter 2001. Accordingly, the operating results of the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment have been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company has reported all of the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment assets at their estimated net realizable value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2002. See Note 3 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During 2001, the Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $232.5 million related to the discontinuance of the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment. This loss consisted of (a) operating losses of approximately $46.8 million incurred in the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment and (b) an estimated loss on disposal of the segment of approximately $185.7 million which includes charges for the following: (i) the write-off of goodwill and other intangibles, (ii) reserves on property, plant and equipment, (iii) customer accounts and notes receivable settlement costs, (iv) employee termination costs, (v) inventory and non-inventory purchase commitments, (vi) anticipated losses from operations during a no more than twelve month transition period, (vii) facility exit and lease termination costs, (viii) expenses to be incurred to fulfill existing contractual obligations and (ix) net tax expense, primarily related to a valuation allowance for related deferred tax assets.

The Company believes all business transactions related to the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment, with the exception of existing contractual obligations, were completed in May 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the Company reported net realizable assets of approximately $10.8 million related to the discontinued operations that consisted primarily of facilities in Vancouver, British Columbia and Singapore that are currently being marketed for sale. The Company has classified these assets as “Assets held for sale, discontinued operations, net” in the current assets section of its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In 2002, the Company adopted FAS 144, which may impact the accounting for these long-lived assets held for sale and require such assets to be reclassified as held for use in its continuing operations if certain requirements cannot be met and may require adjustment and reclassifications to its results of continuing operations.

18


Table of Contents

The Company reported current liabilities and non-current liabilities of $13.6 million and $16.9 million, respectively, at September 30, 2002, related to the discontinued Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment. Approximately $3.5 million of these liabilities relate to warranty obligations and other obligations recorded prior to the discontinuance of the segment. Approximately $27.0 million of these liabilities relate to one time charges recorded in the second quarter of 2001 and consist of (i) employee termination costs; (ii) lease commitment costs; (iii) estimated operating costs during the wind down period; and (iv) other estimated business exit costs related to meeting customer contractual commitments.

In the fourth quarter of 2001, as a result of the Company’s review of the estimated asset values and liabilities and future commitments related to the discontinued operations, a net reduction in the loss on disposal of $408,000 was recorded. The adjustments to the original estimates made at May 23, 2001 were additional write-downs of the Vancouver and Singapore facilities offset by better than anticipated revenues during the transition period, favorable negotiation of inventory purchase commitments and the sale of intellectual property.

During the second and third quarters of 2002, the Company recorded additional reductions in the loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $15.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as a result of the Company’s review of the estimated asset values and liabilities and future commitments related to the discontinued operations. These further adjustments to the original estimates made in May 2001 were primarily due to better than anticipated revenues during the transition period, collections of accounts receivable previously reserved for, better than expected warranty experience and reduced income tax liabilities offset by additional write-down of the market values of the Vancouver and Singapore facilities.

The Company estimates that approximately $3 million of these one-time charges will be disbursed during the fourth quarter of 2002, approximately $12 million in 2003 and the remaining in 2004 and beyond. A management team focused solely on the wind down of the Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment was put in place in 2001. A portion of this team remains in place and is currently focused on managing the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments which existed prior to the formal disposal.

Numerous estimates and assumptions were made in determining the net realizable value related to the discontinued assets and various obligations noted above. Management will continue to monitor its future obligations associated with its pre-existing contractual commitments as well as the real estate market conditions, in order to assess the current carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations. These original estimates have been and are subject to further adjustment as a result of future changes in real estate market conditions or in estimates related to its future obligations associated with its pre-existing contractual commitments. See Note 3 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 decreased 36% to $14.5 million as compared to $22.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 decreased 48% to $9.5 million as compared to $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was due primarily to the continued overall slowing of service provider capital spending. Service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased to $5.0 million as compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in net service revenues was due to the increase in installed base of messaging systems, which resulted in increased extended warranty services revenues.

Table of Contents

International revenues decreased to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and accounted for 17% and 22% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease was mainly due to an overall decline in international service provider capital spending.

The Company is cautious about the timing of a market recovery in the telecommunications sector and is planning for fourth quarter revenue to decline from the third quarter level to approximately $12 million. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s revenue levels will remain at, reach or exceed historical or anticipated levels in any future period.

During the three months ended September 30, 2002, three customers individually accounted for approximately 26%, 17% and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue from continuing operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2001, three customers individually accounted for 25%, 14% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue from continuing operations. There can be no assurance that these significant customers will continue to purchase systems and services from the Company at current levels in the future, and the loss of one or more of these significant customers could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Profit Margins on Product Sales and Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Profit margin on product sales and services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was 51% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 62% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Profit margin on products sold, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, (product margin), was 50% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 66% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Profit margin on services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, (service margin), was 53% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to a 46% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in the product margin is primarily a result of lower volume of product revenue combined with more competitive pricing and higher provisions for warranty and obsolescence on legacy products. Service margins increased in 2002 as a result of the Company’s restructuring activities and the increased service revenue volume. Glenayre’s margins may be affected by several factors including (i) the mix of products sold and services provided, (ii) the price of products sold and provided and (iii) changes in material costs and other components of cost of sales. Increased competition in its industry has adversely affected the Company’s margins. At the currently projected revenue levels for the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company anticipates total gross margins in the low to mid fifty percent range. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s gross margins will meet these anticipated levels.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.9 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the reduced cost structure resulting from the 2001 restructuring activities initiated in September 2001, reduced expenditures for trade show and selling and marketing activities and reduced communications cost associated with a change in telecommunications service providers.

Provision for Doubtful Receivables. The provision for doubtful receivables was a credit of $510,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to a provision of $838,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The credit was a result of collections made during the third quarter of 2002 of older receivables previously reserved as part of the Company’s reserve calculation and adjustments to bad debt expense reflecting the Company’s assessment of its current credit risk.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses were $4.1 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the reduced cost structure resulting from the 2001 restructuring activities. The Company relies on its research and development programs for new products and the improvement of existing products to grow net sales. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents

Restructuring Expense. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $199,000 for employee severance and outplacement services related to the reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 18 positions. During the third quarter of 2001, in connection with the phase out of the Company’s prepaid product line and the relocation of the Corporate headquarters from Charlotte, North Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $1.4 million. As a result of these restructuring activities, the Company incurred a reduction of approximately 60 positions impacting several functional areas of the Company and expensed approximately $1.1 million for employee severance and outplacement services, and approximately $330,000 for retention bonuses earned primarily related to the positions eliminated during the second quarter of 2001. See Note 2 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Depreciation. Depreciation expense was $2.5 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Interest Income, Net. Interest income, net was $709,000 and $770,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest earned for the three months ended September 30, 2002 is lower primarily due to lower yields on investment instruments than during the 2001 comparable period partially offset by increased cash and cash equivalent and short-term investment balances in 2002 as well as approximately $190,000 related to interest received on a federal tax refund received in July 2002. The Company’s current weighted average yield on its cash and investments is approximately 2.1%.

Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Available-for-Sale Securities, Net. On November 1, 1999 the Company sold 95% of the equity interest in its microwave radio business, Western Multiplex Corporation (“MUX”) and received cash of approximately $37 million. In August 2000, MUX completed its initial public offering. In November 2000, the Company began selling its shares of MUX. In March 2002, MUX merged with Proxim Corporation and is referred to hereafter as “Proxim”. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company sold approximately 420,700 shares of Proxim and realized a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.6 million. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had fully liquidated its investment in Proxim securities. See Note 8 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes. Notwithstanding the Company’s operating loss during the third quarter of 2002, due to the significant net operating loss carryforwards available to the Company, tax benefits of $190,000 and $491,000 were recognized in the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $190,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 primarily related to the carryback of foreign net operating losses associated with its international operations. The third quarter 2002 and 2001 effective tax rate differed from the combined US federal and state statutory tax rate due primarily to the change in valuation allowance. See Note 9 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

Revenues. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased 26% to $56.0 million as compared to $76.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased 34% to $42.5 million as compared to $64.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was due primarily to the overall slowing of service provider capital spending and no revenues in 2002 from the Company’s prepaid product line which was eliminated as part of the Company’s second quarter 2001 restructuring. Service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased 12% to $13.4 million as compared to $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in net service revenues was due to the increase in the installed base of messaging systems, which resulted in increased extended warranty service revenues.

Table of Contents

International revenues were $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and accounted for 17% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, three customers individually accounted for approximately 20%, 20% and 14%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue from continuing operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, three customers individually accounted for 30%, 14% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue from continuing operations. There can be no assurance that these significant customers will continue to purchase systems and services from the Company at current levels in the future, and the loss of one or more of these significant customers could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Profit Margins on Product Sales and Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Profit margin on product sales and services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was 57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Profit margin on products sold, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, (product margin), was 60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Profit margin on services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, (service margin), was 47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in the product margin is primarily a result of lower volume of product revenue combined with more competitive pricing, increased shipments of non-revenue generating new product test systems and higher provisions for warranty and obsolescence on legacy products. Service margins increased in 2002 as a result of the Company’s restructuring activities, including the abandonment of its prepaid product line, which contributed disproportionately to the cost of services in the prior year. Glenayre’s margins may be affected by several factors including (i) the mix of products sold and services provided, (ii) the price of products sold and provided and (iii) changes in material costs and other components of cost of sales. Increased competition in its industry has adversely affected the Company’s margins. At the currently projected revenue levels for the remainder of 2002, the Company anticipates total gross margins in the low-to-mid fifty percent range. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s gross margins will meet these anticipated levels.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21.2 million and $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the reduced cost structure resulting from the 2001 and 2002 restructuring activities, reduced expenditures for legal matters, trade show and other selling and marketing activities during 2002 and reduced communications cost associated with a change in telecommunications service providers.

Provision for Doubtful Receivables. The provision for doubtful receivables was a credit of $851,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to a provision of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The credit during the first nine months of 2002 was a result of collections made during 2002 of receivables previously reserved as part of the Company’s reserve calculation and adjustments to bad debt expense reflecting the Company’s assessment of its current credit risk. The provision for the nine months ended 2001, included a provision of $1.4 million due to the discontinuance of operations of one customer which was partially offset by collections made during the second quarter of 2001 of older receivables previously reserved.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses were $12.6 million and $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the reduced cost structure resulting from the 2001 restructuring activities, including the elimination

of the prepaid product line’s research and development group. The Company relies on its research and development programs for new products and the improvement of existing products to grow net sales. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Restructuring Expense. During the second and third quarters of 2002, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $759,000 and $199,000, respectively, related to the reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 48 positions. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2002, the Company recorded net reductions to its original estimates associated with the Company’s 2001 restructuring activities, described below, of $392,000 primarily related to the collection of accounts receivable previously reserved for in the 2001 restructuring charge, reduced accrued severance benefits related to the reduction of the Company’s workforce and the reduction in the prepaid product-line warranty obligation, partially offset by a decrease in the estimated recoveries related to subleasing vacated leased space.

During the second and third quarters of 2001, in connection with the phase out of the Company’s prepaid product line and the relocation of the Corporate headquarters from Charlotte, North Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $9.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded $1.8 million in impairment charges associated with long-lived assets. As a result of these restructuring activities, the Company incurred a reduction of approximately 220 positions impacting several functional areas of the Company and expensed approximately $5.2 million for employee severance and outplacement services, approximately $2.1 million for consolidation and exit costs from its Charlotte, North Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia and Amsterdam, Netherlands facilities and approximately $3.5 million to accrue business exit costs and to reserve for excess inventories and customer receivables associated with the Company’s decision to abandon its prepaid product line. See Note 2 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Depreciation. Depreciation expense remained consistent at $7.0 million and $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Interest Income, Net. Interest income, net was $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 is lower primarily due to lower yields on investment instruments than during the 2001 comparable period partially offset by increased cash and cash equivalent and short-term investment balances in 2002 as well as approximately $170,000 related to interest on a federal tax refund received in July 2002.

Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Securities, Net. On November 1, 1999 the Company sold 95% of the equity interest in its microwave radio business, Western Multiplex Corporation (“MUX”) and received cash of approximately $37 million. In August 2000, MUX completed its initial public offering. In November 2000, the Company began selling its shares of MUX. In March 2002, MUX merged with Proxim Corporation and is referred to hereafter as “Proxim”. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company sold approximately 136,800 and 1.6 million shares of Proxim and realized pre-tax gains of approximately $301,000 and $13.5 million, respectively. The realized gain on the sales of Proxim securities during the first nine months of 2002 and 2001 was offset by permanent impairment charges of approximately $77,000 and $877,000, respectively, related to the Company’s investment in Multi-Link Telecommunications, Inc. In addition, during the first quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $475,000 related to its investment in a privately held company. This impairment charge was determined based upon management’s review of the valuations of publicly traded companies in similar sectors and other factors such as the status of the company’s technology, operating performance and financial condition. See Note 8 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded a $2.5 million one-time tax benefit during the first quarter of 2002 for refundable alternative minimum taxes under the “Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002” (the Act). The Act became effective on March 9, 2002 and among other things extends the carryback period for net operating losses from two to five years for taxpayers with net operating losses for any tax year ending during 2001 or 2002. The new provision also temporarily suspends the 90% limitation found in Internal Revenue Code Section 56(d)(1) on the use of net operating loss carrybacks arising in tax years ending in 2001 and 2002 for alternative minimum tax purposes. Therefore, taxpayers that have paid alternative minimum tax because of the 90% limitation on the use of net operating losses to offset alternative minimum taxable income can utilize this provision to obtain a refund. In addition to the one-time tax benefit noted above, the Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $123,000 for the nine months ended 2002 primarily related to the carryback of foreign net operating losses arising in 2001 associated with its international operations. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 differed from the combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate due primarily to the tax benefits noted previously and the increase in the valuation allowance recorded to reflect no tax benefit from the domestic operating losses incurred during the first nine months of 2002. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 differed from the combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate due primarily to the change in valuation allowance.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Overview. At September 30, 2002 the Company had cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash totaling $107.0 million. The restricted cash of approximately $217,000 at September 30, 2002 consisted of time deposits pledged as collateral to secure letters of credit, substantially all of which expire in less than one year. At September 30, 2002, Glenayre’s principal source of liquidity is its $71.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $35.9 million in short-term investments. The Company’s cash generally consists of money market demand deposits and the Company’s cash equivalents generally consist of high-grade commercial paper, bank certificates of deposit, treasury bills, notes or agency securities guaranteed by the U.S. government, and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. government securities with original maturities of three months or less. Short-term investments at September 30, 2002 consisted of bank certificates of deposit and agency securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government with original maturities of greater than three months. The Company expects to use its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the expansion and development of its existing products and markets and the expansion into complementary businesses. The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements including special purpose entities.

Included in the Company’s loss on disposal of discontinued operations (see Discontinued Operations) for the year ended December 31, 2001 were charges totaling approximately $49 million for employee termination benefits, equipment and facility lease termination costs, inventory and non-inventory purchase commitments, anticipated losses from operations during a transition period no longer than twelve months and expenses to be incurred to fulfill contractual obligations existing prior to the formal disposal date. The Company expects substantially all of the cash payments to be completed by December 31, 2002 with the exception of contractual obligations, which could extend through 2007, and lease termination costs. At September 30, 2002, approximately $30.6 million in discontinued operations liabilities remain outstanding of which the Company anticipates disbursements of approximately $3 million during the fourth quarter of 2002, approximately $12 million in 2003 and the remainder in 2004 and beyond.

Included in the Company’s year ended December 31, 2001 losses from continuing operations were restructuring charges totaling approximately $9.8 million for employee termination benefits, costs associated with the phase out of the prepaid product line and facility consolidation and exit costs (see Note 2 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company expects substantially all of the cash payments for these restructuring activities to be completed by December 31, 2002 with the exception of lease termination costs which could require cash payments through 2005 if a sub-lessee is not obtained. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has approximately $2.1 million of cash payments remaining related to its restructuring obligations.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities, including both continuing and discontinued operations, was $14.3 million and $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Restricted cash decreased $5.0 million to $217,000 at September 30, 2002 from $5.2 million at December 31, 2001. This decrease was primarily due to the expiration of time deposits pledged as collateral to secure letters of credit during the first nine months of 2002.

Accounts receivable decreased $5.9 million to $11.3 million at September 30, 2002 from $17.2 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily due to the decrease in revenues in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 as well as aggressive collection of accounts receivable. Average days sales outstanding at September 30, 2002 were approximately 63 days as compared to 72 days at December 31, 2001.

Inventories related to continuing operations decreased $240,000 to $7.9 million at September 30, 2002 from $8.2 million at December 31, 2001. The Company’s raw and work-in-process inventory level has declined by approximately $1.7 million and its finished goods inventory levels have increased by approximately $1.4 million during recent months primarily as a result of management’s decision to complete production of messaging products for manufacturing efficiency purposes. In August 2002, the Company eliminated approximately 15 positions at its manufacturing operation in Quincy, Illinois as a result of the continued slowed demand for its messaging products.

Accounts payable decreased $3.2 million to $3.5 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $6.7 million at December 31, 2001 primarily as a result of timing of payments at the end of the periods and reduced inventory purchases and operating cost levels during 2002. Accrued liabilities related to continuing operations at September 30, 2002 decreased $5.0 million compared to December 31, 2001 primarily due to the payment of severance and facility costs associated with the Company’s 2001 restructuring activities of its continuing operations and reduced employee related accruals partially offset by increased deferred revenues associated with customer prepayments for Glenayre Care service contracts and product orders.

Investing Activities. In 1999, the Company consolidated its manufacturing activities in Quincy, Illinois and ceased manufacturing activities in its Vancouver, B.C. facility but continued to utilize the Vancouver facility for engineering, product management and customer service functions. Further, the Company continued its expansion of an office tower in Vancouver with the intention of a subsequent sale of all of its Vancouver facilities and partial lease back of the new office tower to meet its ongoing operational needs. However, as a result of the Company’s decision to exit its Wireless Messaging (Paging) segment in the second quarter of 2001, it no longer has significant operational requirements for its Vancouver facilities and no longer plans to lease back a portion of these facilities. In 2001, the Company spent approximately $7 million related to the Vancouver office tower development. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company spent approximately $1.6 million related to the office tower development. At September 30, 2002 the Company has outstanding contractual commitments to spend an additional $1.9 million to complete the office tower build-out. At September 30, 2002, the Vancouver facility is recorded on the balance sheet as an asset held for sale at its fair value net of selling costs.

In January 2002, the Company sold its manufacturing facility in Quincy, Illinois for cash proceeds of approximately $4.4 million. In addition to the Vancouver facility, the Company owns its facilities in Singapore and Atlanta, Georgia. The Company is continuing its efforts to divest the Vancouver and Singapore facilities. Given its current cash position, however, the Company has postponed activities related to the sale and leaseback of its Atlanta headquarters until real estate market conditions improve.

During the first nine months of 2002, the Company made approximately $2.0 million in capital expenditures in its continuing operations mainly related to equipment purchases to support its ongoing research and development efforts.

In December 2000, the Board of Directors rescinded its 1996 stock repurchase program and authorized the repurchase of up to 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In September 2001, the stock repurchase program was amended to authorize management the ability to repurchase up to 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, or approximately 3.3 million shares based on shares outstanding as of December 31, 2001. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company repurchased 105,900 and 12,500 shares at a total cost of approximately $85,000 and $40,000, respectively. The Company has made no purchases during 2002, as of the date of this filing, however, it could commence or suspend purchasing under this program from time to time without notice.

Income Tax Matters. Glenayre’s recent cash outlays for income taxes have been limited primarily to foreign income taxes. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has an income tax receivable of approximately $3.1 million primarily associated with Canadian tax refunds of approximately $2.7 million. The Company received income tax refunds of approximately $3.4 million during July and August of 2002.

Summary. The Company believes that funds generated from continuing operations, together with its current cash reserves and short-term investments, will be sufficient to support the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for current operations (including annual capital expenditures) and its discontinued operations. Company management believes that, if needed, it can establish borrowing arrangements with lending institutions.

Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results

The Company’s prospects are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as follows:

Competition

Competition in the market for Enhanced Services and Unified Communications systems has increased significantly in the past year, with more entrants offering a broad range of features and capacities. The Company’s traditional competitors are suppliers of messaging and enhanced services solutions, including, Comverse Technologies, Inc., SS8’s Centigram (acquired from ADC Telecommunication in 2001), Unisys Corporation, the Octel Messaging division of Lucent Technologies, Inc., OpenWave, Tecnomen and Schlumberger-Sema. Additional competitors have emerged from the voice portal and voice services market, including BeVocal, TellMe, HeyAnita and InterVoice. The Company’s competitors may have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources than Glenayre and Glenayre may be unable to successfully compete with these companies for the sale of its Enhanced Services and Unified Communications platforms and products. In addition, given the recent increased competition in the Company’s markets, competitive pricing pressures exist which may have an adverse effect on the Company’s profit margins in the future.

Variability of Quarterly Results and Dependence on Key Customers

The Company’s financial results in any single quarter are highly dependent upon the timing and size of customer orders and the shipment of products for large orders. Large orders from customers can account for a significant portion of products shipped in any quarter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, three customers individually accounted for approximately 20%, 20% and 14%, respectively, of the

Company’s total revenue from continuing operations. There can be no assurance that these significant customers will continue to purchase systems and services from the Company at current levels in the future, and the loss of one or more of these significant customers may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In the future, the customers with whom the Company does the largest amount of business are expected to vary from quarter to quarter and year to year as a result of the timing for development and expansion of customers’ communications networks and systems, the continued expansion into international markets and changes in the proportion of revenues generated by the Company’s newly developed products and services. Furthermore, if a customer delays or accelerates its delivery requirements or a product’s completion is delayed or accelerated, revenues expected in a given quarter may be deferred or accelerated into subsequent or earlier quarters. Therefore, annual financial results are more indicative of the Company’s performance than quarterly results, and results of operations in any quarterly period may not be indicative of results likely to be realized in the subsequent quarterly periods.

Effective Convergence of Technologies

During 2001 and the first nine months of 2002, the market for the Company’s products has contracted as a result of reduced worldwide carrier spending. Glenayre is dependent on the continued growth of its markets as well as the effective and successful convergence of technologies for its Enhanced Services and Unified Communications platform and related applications and solutions such as voice, fax and data messaging, short message services, one touch call return, continuous calling, voice activated dialing, unified messaging and CONSTANT TOUCH™. The markets for these technologies are still emerging and market acceptance of these converging services is uncertain. If the commercial market for these services and related bundled or converged technologies is lower than Glenayre anticipates or grows more slowly than Glenayre anticipates, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. There can be no assurance that these technologies will be successfully integrated or that a significant commercial market for the integrated services will develop.

Potential Market Changes Resulting from Rapid Technological Advances

Glenayre’s business is primarily focused on the wireless telecommunications industry. The wireless telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid technological change. In addition, Glenayre has been focusing its efforts on growing its Enhanced Services and Unified Communications platform products, such as the Modular Voice Processing system and Versera products, and Enhanced Services solutions such as voice, fax and data messaging, short message services, one touch call return, continuous calling, voice activated dialing, unified messaging and CONSTANT TOUCH™. Demand for these products and services may be affected by changes in technology and the development of substitute products and services by competitors. If changing technology negatively affects demand for Glenayre’s Enhanced Services and Unified Communications platform products, it could have a material adverse effect on Glenayre’s business.

Proprietary Technology

The Company owns or licenses numerous patents used in its operations. Glenayre believes that while these patents are useful to the Company, they are not critical or valuable on an individual basis. The collective value of the intellectual property of Glenayre is comprised of its patents, blueprints, specifications, technical processes and cumulative employee knowledge. Although Glenayre attempts to protect its proprietary technology through a combination of trade secrets, patent, trademark and copyright law, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures, such protection may not preclude competitors from developing products with features similar to Glenayre’s products. The laws of certain foreign countries in which Glenayre sells or may sell its products, including The Republic of Korea, The People’s Republic of China, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Dubai, India and Brazil, do not protect Glenayre’s proprietary rights in the products to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Though the Company believes its technology does not infringe any third party rights, the Company is currently party to certain infringement claims. In addition, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert future infringement claims. An adverse decision in an infringement claim asserted against the Company could result in the Company being prohibited from using the allegedly infringing technology. In such an instance, the Company might need to expend substantial resources to develop alternative technology or to license the allegedly infringing technology. There can be no assurance that these efforts would be successful. Regardless, with respect to currently pending claims, the Company does not believe that resolving these claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Potential Changes in Government Regulation

Many of Glenayre’s products connect to public telecommunications networks. While many of Glenayre’s current Enhanced Services and Unified Communications platform solutions are not directly subject to regulation, national, regional and local governments regulate public telecommunications networks, as well as the operations of telecommunication service providers in most domestic and international markets. When introducing products to a market, there is no assurance that the Company’s customers will obtain regulatory approval. In addition, it is always possible that a new regulation, changing political climates, or a change in the interpretation of existing regulations could adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell products in that market. Regulatory approvals must be obtained by Glenayre in connection with the manufacture and sale of certain of its products, and by Glenayre’s telecommunications service provider customers to operate the systems that utilize certain Glenayre products. The enactment by federal, state, local or international governments of new laws or regulations or a change in the interpretation of existing regulations could affect the market for Glenayre’s products.

International Business Risks

Approximately 17% of the first nine months of 2002 and year ended 2001 total revenues from continuing operations were generated in markets outside of the United States. International sales are subject to the customary risks associated with international transactions, including political risks, local laws and taxes, the potential imposition of trade or currency exchange restrictions, tariff increases, transportation delays, difficulties or delays in collecting accounts receivable, exchange rate fluctuations and the effects of prolonged currency destabilization in major international markets. Although a substantial portion of the international sales of Glenayre’s products and services for the first nine months of 2002 and the year ended 2001 were negotiated in United States dollars, Glenayre may not be able to maintain such a high percentage of United States dollar denominated international sales. Should the amount of sales denominated in local currencies of foreign countries increase, the Company may seek to mitigate its currency exchange fluctuation risk by entering into currency hedging transactions. The Company also acts to mitigate certain risks associated with international transactions through the purchase of political risk insurance and the use of letters of credit. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will successfully limit the Company’s currency exchange fluctuation risk.

Potential Acquisitions and Strategic Investments

The Company intends to continue to make significant investments in its business, and to examine opportunities for growth through acquisitions and strategic investments. These activities may involve significant expenditures and obligations that cannot readily be curtailed or reduced if anticipated demand for the associated products does not materialize or is delayed. The impact of these decisions on future financial results cannot be predicted with assurance, and the Company’s commitment to growth may increase its vulnerability to downturns in its markets, technology changes and shifts in competitive conditions.

The Company has made, and in the future, may continue to make strategic investments in other companies. These investments have been made in, and future investments will likely be made in, immature businesses with unproven track records and technologies. Such investments have a high degree of risk, with the possibility that the Company may lose the total amount of its investments. The Company may not be able to identify suitable investment candidates, and, even if it does, the Company may not be able to make those investments on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, even if the Company makes investments, it may not gain strategic benefits from those investments.

Continuation and Expansion of Third Party Agreements

Glenayre has entered into initiatives with third parties that provide development services, products and channels to market that are used to enhance the Company’s business and is continuing to explore additional third party alternatives. Additionally, Glenayre has entered into several Original Equipment Manufacturer agreements with companies that market and distribute Glenayre’s products and Glenayre intends to enter into service reseller arrangements. Glenayre is dependent upon these third parties to augment its research and development efforts as well as to distribute Glenayre’s products and services and increase its product offerings. If these third parties are not successful or the agreements are terminated, it may have a material adverse effect on Glenayre’s business. Glenayre intends to continue entering into agreements and initiatives with third parties; however, there can be no assurance that additional arrangements with suitable vendors and distributors on acceptable terms will be available. The inability of Glenayre to enter into agreements with third parties on acceptable terms may have a material adverse effect on Glenayre’s business.

Volatility of Stock Price

The market price of the Company’s common stock is volatile. The market price of its common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results and other factors such as announcements of technological developments or new products by the Company, developments in relationships with its customers, strategic alliances and partnerships, technological advances by existing and new competitors, general market conditions in the industry and changes in government regulations. In addition, in recent years, conditions in the stock market in general and shares of technology companies in particular have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these specific companies.

Ability to Attract and Retain Key Personnel

The Company’s continued growth and success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of senior management and other key employees, the development of additional management personnel and the hiring of new qualified employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in continuously recruiting new personnel or in retaining existing personnel. The loss of one or more key or other employees or Glenayre’s inability to attract additional qualified employees or retain other employees could have a material adverse effect on Glenayre’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to market risk arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign exchange. The Company does not enter into financial investments for speculation or trading purposes and is not a party to any financial or commodity derivatives.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to market rate risk for a change in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. The Company’s investment policy requires investment of surplus cash in high-grade commercial paper, bank certificates of deposits, Treasury bills, Notes or agency securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Government securities. The Company typically invests its surplus cash in these types of securities for periods of relatively short duration. Although the Company is exposed to market risk related changes in short-term interest rates on these investments, the Company manages these risks by closely monitoring market interest rates and the duration of its investments. Due to the short-term duration and the limited dollar amounts exposed to market interest rates, management believes that fluctuations in short-term interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates primarily as it relates to demand deposits denominated in non-functional currencies. At September 30, 2002, approximately U.S. $1.6 million or 1.5% of the Company’s cash balances were denominated in foreign currencies. In the aggregate, if the value of the dollar against the foreign denominated currency strengthens by 10%, the Company would record an exchange loss of approximately ($160,000). Conversely, if the value of the dollar declines by 10%, the Company would record an exchange gain of approximately $160,000. The Company seeks to mitigate the risk associated with foreign currency deposits by monitoring and limiting the total cash deposits held at each of its subsidiaries. Additionally, the Company may seek to mitigate the risk by entering into currency hedging transactions. The Company was not a party to any hedge transactions as of September 30, 2002.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a rigorous set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s principal executive and financial officers have evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to the filing of this Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Subsequent to their evaluation, there were no significant changes in internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

In August 2001, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Glenayre Manufacturing Ltd. (“GML”), filed two lawsuits against Pilot Pacific Properties, Inc. in Vancouver, British Columbia. These lawsuits, which were consolidated in February 2002, seek total damages of over $12 million (Canadian) for return of $5.3 million (Canadian) held in trust, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties and improper charges paid by GML in connection with the development and construction of an office building in Vancouver. In October 2001, Pilot Pacific filed counterclaims against GML and the Company for $4.3 million (Canadian) for unpaid invoices and lost profits of $60 to $65 million (Canadian). During the second quarter of 2002, Pilot Pacific and its chief executive officer issued news releases with unsubstantiated allegations and claims relating to this project. This case is set for trial in October 2003. Based on the investigations conducted in the lawsuits to date, the Company believes it should prevail on its claims against Pilot Pacific and in defending all claims alleged by Pilot Pacific in both the counterclaims and news releases.

In late 2001, Phillip Jackson filed lawsuits against two of the Company’s customers claiming that products sold by these customers infringed a patent held by Jackson seeking total damages of approximately $10 million. The alleged infringement related to certain features included in products sold by the Company to these customers. By December 2001 the Company agreed to indemnify each of these customers for the claims in these lawsuits and assumed primary responsibility for defending the claims.

In January 2002 the Company filed a lawsuit in federal court in Chicago seeking a declaratory judgment that none of the Company’s products infringe the Jackson patent. In May 2002, the judge in this case issued an injunction precluding Jackson from filing lawsuits against additional customers. Whether the Company’s products infringe the Jackson patent will be decided in this case. The trial court has indicated it will decide on the Company’s motion for a summary judgment in this case by the end of 2002. If this motion does not dispose of the matter the case is scheduled to go to trial in late January 2003. Based on consultations with counsel handling this litigation for the Company and its investigations in and analysis of the case, the Company believes its defenses are strong as to each charge of patent infringement and that it should prevail in the infringement phase of the case.

If Jackson prevails in establishing that the Company’s products infringe the Jackson patent, the court will then conduct proceedings to determine the amount of damages due Jackson. In September 2002 Jackson submitted claims in the case alleging his damages could total as much as several hundred million dollars. However, based on its investigations in and analysis of the case, the Company believes that Jackson’s damages claim is excessive and unsupported by the facts in the case.

While no assurance can be given regarding the outcome of the Pilot Pacific and Jackson actions, the Company believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of future operations of the Company. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition to the above, the Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings in connection with its business operations. Other than the litigation described in the preceding paragraph, however, the Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings.
