ITEM 4.02 NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANICAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW
 
 
On February 25, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (“the Company”), upon the recommendation of management, concluded that previously issued financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010, and related auditors’ reported thereon, and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 29, 2009, June 28, 2009 and September 27, 2009 should no longer be relied upon because of an error in those financial statements.  The Company will restate these financial statements to make the necessary accounting corrections.
 
 
The error relates to the accounting treatment for the Company’s 1.875% convertible subordinated notes due 2024 (“1.875% Notes”).  The Company’s 1.875% Notes should have been accounted for as set forth in FASB Staff Position (FSP) Accounting Principles Board Opinions (APB) 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), accounting guidance now codified as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 470-20, which became effective at the beginning of the 2009 fiscal year.  Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 470-20, if a convertible debt instrument may be settled in cash or some combination of cash and stock upon conversion of the debt, then the Company is required to account separately for the liability and equity components of such convertible debt.  The liability component is measured at its estimated fair value such that the effective interest expense associated with the convertible debt reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate at the date of issuance for similar debt instruments without the conversion feature.  The difference between the cash proceeds associated with the convertible debt and this estimated fair value is recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the life of the convertible debt using the effective interest rate method.
 
 
FASB ASC Topic 470-20 only impacts the accounting for the Company’s 1.875% Notes by requiring the Company to account separately for the liability and equity components of this convertible debt.  The Company’s 3.875% convertible subordinated notes due 2027 do not have a cash conversion feature and therefore are not subject to FASB ASC Topic 470-20.
 
 
The Statement of Operations impact of the correction for the application of FASB ASC Topic 470-20 to the 1.875% Notes in 2009 is an additional $8.9 million in non-cash interest expense, which results in net income for fiscal 2009 changing from $3.2 million, as previously reported, to a net loss of $5.7 million and basic and diluted earnings per share changing from $0.02 per share, as previously reported, to a loss of $0.04 per share.  The following is a summary of the impact on the Statement of Operations due to the correction for the adoption of FASB ASC Topic 470-20 for the fiscal quarters ended March 29, 2009, June 28, 2009, September 27, 2009 and January 3, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010. This summary also includes the impact on the Balance Sheets as of March 29, 2009, June 28, 2009 and September 27, 2009, and as of January 3, 2010:
