Q2 Revenues and Operating Margins Improve Sequentially
SAN DIEGO, CA, AUGUST 8, 2006WFI (NASDAQ: WFII), today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Revenues for the second quarter were $86.2 million, up from $83.9 million in the first quarter of 2006. Loss from continuing operations in accordance with GAAP was $0.4 million or $0.01 per share (diluted), which includes $0.8 million of a stock compensation charge related to the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123R in January of 2006. The Companys income from continuing operations before income taxes of $0.2 million was reduced by a $0.6 million tax provision, resulting in the $0.4 million loss from continuing operations. The Companys effective tax provision of over 300 percent is due primarily to the non-deductibility of certain permanent tax items. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of the stock compensation charge, and assuming a normalized statutory tax rate of approximately 40 percent, EPS was approximately $0.01 for the quarter. Comparatively, GAAP income from continuing operations was $2.5 million or $0.03 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Net loss for the quarter was $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share (diluted), which includes a loss from discontinued operations of $0.2 million, or breakeven per share, compared to net income of $3.3 million or $.04 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, which includes income from discontinued operations of $0.8 million or $0.01 per share (diluted).
Revenues in the second quarter of 2006 of $86.2 million reflect a reduction from second quarter revenues of $95.3 million in 2005. The decline between comparative periods was primarily caused by reduced revenues of $5.6 million in WFIs carrier business, substantially driven by reduced international revenues and reduced revenues of $2.8 million in WFIs enterprise business. The reduction in the Companys carrier business revenues from the prior year was related to the impact of the completion of a large program in Europe, and the slower than expected ramp up of an ongoing large national program in the United States. The reduction in the companys enterprise business was driven primarily by management change issues the Company experienced in the first quarter which have now been addressed. A slight year over year decline of $0.7 million in the Companys Government business was the result of a change in mix of revenues.
WFIs business is significantly different today than it was this same period a year ago as we transition the Company, said Eric DeMarco, president and CEO of WFI. Since last year, we have divested and sold our higher risk deployment operations in Latin America, and we have satisfied the earn-out obligations related to the enterprise acquisitions WFI made a few years ago. These are notable milestones WFI has completed. Additionally, during the past year, weve experienced continued industry consolidation which has drastically changed the playing field by basically reducing the number of our customers by half. Our second quarter results reflect the continued impact of this challenging environment we have experienced since last year, but also demonstrate the gradual momentum we are making in our transition strategy since first quarter of fiscal 2006 to address these industry issues. For example, were beginning to see a gradual shift in our engineering mix to higher-margin, non-RF engineering opportunities as our IT consulting business ramps up.
Looking ahead, despite the challenges in our business and within the market, we believe this is an exciting time in our industry. The Advanced Wireless Services Spectrum Auction could potentially create several promising opportunities for WFI in the second half of 2006 and beyond. The FCC will be auctioning off spectrum that can be used to offer a variety of wireless services, including 3G mobile broadband, 4G and advanced wireless services. We believe that WFI has already established relationships or is working with most of the major AWS auction participants, both traditional and non-traditional, and we are hopeful that a successful auction will bring new opportunities to WFI with both existing and new customers.
Were also deeply committed to focusing on the potentially more profitable and higher-growth areas within our vertical markets, including: Backhaul and IP Core Network Services; Land Mobile Radio; municipal wireless network design and system integration; enterprise security systems engineering; and IT consulting and technical outsourcing for the U.S. Department of Defense. By continuing to focus on these areas, we believe that WFI will achieve higher overall margins and profitability. However, this transformation will take time. Government contracts have 2-3 year development cycles, successful acquisitions which will allow WFI to grow its Government business can take a year to materialize, and the transformation to high-level engineering services and solutions is dependent on how quickly our customers adopt these new technologies. In summary, we believe that we are making progress, we are optimistic about our future, and we will continue to execute on our business strategy.
WFI will hold a conference call to discuss second quarter 2006 results today at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time. The call will be web cast over the Internet and can be accessed at WFIs website at www.wfinet.com.

Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains certain forward-looking statements including, without limitation, expressed or implied statements concerning the Companys expectations regarding anticipated operating results for 2006, our shift to higher margin engineering opportunities, future financial performance and cash flows and market developments that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements are only predictions, and the Companys actual results may differ materially. Factors that may cause the Companys results to differ include, but are not limited to: changes in the scope or timing of the Companys projects; changes or cutbacks in spending by the U.S. Department of Defense, which could cause delays or cancellations of key government contracts; slowdowns in telecommunications infrastructure spending in the United States and globally, which could delay network deployment and reduce demand for the Companys services; the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer contracts and agreements, or consolidation by or the loss of key customers; failure to successfully consummate acquisitions or integrate acquired operations; the rate of adoption of telecom outsourcing by network carriers and equipment suppliers; the rate of growth of adoption of WLAN and wireless security systems by enterprises; and competition in the marketplace which could reduce revenues and profit margins. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Note
Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the
information set forth herein, including non-GAAP earnings per share, may be
considered non-GAAP financial measures. WFI believes this information is useful
to investors because it provides a basis for measuring WFIs available capital
resources, the operating performance of WFIs business and WFIs cash flow,
excluding the effect of stock compensation expense and atypical tax provisions
that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures
calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. WFIs management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating WFIs
operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for,
financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-financial
measures as reported by WFI may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts
reported by other companies.
