NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary with a majority voting interest of approximately 66.3% (approximately 33.7% is owned by non-controlling interests) as of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of the subsidiary applicable to non-controlling interests.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts on the prior period’s consolidated financial statements were regrouped and reclassified to conform to current-year presentation, with no effect on total stockholders’ equity.

 

Non-controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary

 

Noncontrolling interests represent approximately 33.7% equity interests in FTI held by minority shareholders as of the reporting dates. As of September 30, 2024, the non-controlling interest was $1,405,537, which represents a $176,593 increase from $1,228,944 as of June 30, 2024. The increase of $176,593 in the non-controlling interest consists of $133,469 from income in the subsidiary of $396,552 and $43,124 from foreign exchange translation incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2024. 

 

Segment Reporting

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility. We have one reportable segment, consisting of the sale of wireless access products.

We generate revenue from two geographic areas, consisting of North America and Asia. The following enterprise-wide disclosure is prepared on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following table contains certain financial information by geographic area:

        
  

Three Months Ended

Net sales:  2024   2023 
North America  $13,322,448   $9,655,546 
Asia   464     
Totals  $13,322,912   $9,655,546 

 

        
Long-lived assets, net (property and equipment and intangible assets):  September 30, 2024   June 30, 2024 
North America  $983,018   $1,218,139 
Asia   201,949    206,426 
Totals  $1,184,967   $1,424,565 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity, associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities are as follows:

 

    · Level 1 – Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
       
    · Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
       
    · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be directly corroborated by observable market data and that typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate the related fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. We invest our excess cash into financial instruments which are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds and certificates of deposit

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

On July 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held to maturity debt securities. It also applies to Off-Balance Sheet (“OBS”) credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments and leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. Upon adoption of ASC 326 and based upon our review of our collection history as well as the current balances associated with all significant customers and associated invoices, as of September 30, 2024, we did not record any reserve for unfunded commitments and doubtful accounts.

 

Cash Flows Reporting

 

We follow ASC 230, Statements of Cash Flows, for cash flows reporting, which classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category. We use the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and all items that are included in net income (loss) that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.

 

Related Parties

 

We follow ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of our management and policies of the Company. (Refer to NOTE 9–RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS)

 

Foreign Currency Translations

 

We have a majority-owned subsidiary in a foreign country, South Korea. Fluctuations in foreign currency impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, earnings and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiary upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. Dollars for, and as of the end of, each reporting period. In particular, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar generally will reduce the reported amount of our foreign-denominated cash, cash equivalents, total revenues and total expense that we translate into U.S. Dollars and report in our consolidated financial statements for, and as of the end of, each reporting period. However, a majority of our consolidated revenue is denominated in U.S. Dollars, and therefore, our revenue is not directly subject to foreign currency risk.

 

In accordance with ASC 830, when an operation has transactions denominated in a currency other than its functional currency, they are measured in the functional currency. Changes in the expected functional currency cash flows caused by changes in exchange rates are included in net income (loss) for the period.

 

Leases

 

In accordance with ASC 842, we determine whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease is a contract that provides the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For identified leases, we determine whether it should be classified as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are recorded in the balance sheet as right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and operating lease obligation. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payment arising from the lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease and measure based on the present value of lease payment over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes deferred rent liabilities. Our lease arrangement generally does not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, in such situations, we use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option in the measurement of its ROU assts and liabilities.

 

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for its revenue according to ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, pursuant to which, revenue is recognized when the control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, and the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Contracts with Customers

 

Revenue from sales of products and services is derived from contracts with customers. The products and services promised in contracts primarily consist of hotspot routers. Contracts with each customer generally state the terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service. Payment terms are stated in the contract, primarily in the form of a purchase order. Since the customer typically agrees to a stated rate and price in the purchase order that does not vary over the life of the contract, the majority of our contracts do not contain variable consideration. We establish a provision for estimated warranty and returns. Using historical averages, those provisions for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were not material.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

In accordance with Topic 606, we disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories meets the disclosure objective in Topic 606, which is to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by regional economic factors.

 

Contract Balances

 

We perform our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products in exchange for consideration from the customer. We typically invoice our customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred, and a receivable is established. We, however, recognize a contract liability when a customer prepays for goods and/or services, or we have not delivered goods under the contract since we have not yet transferred control of the goods and/or services.

 

The balances of our trade receivables are as follows:

           
    September 30, 2024     June 30, 2024  
Accounts Receivable   $ 1,800,202     $ 1,155,060  

 

The balance of contract assets was immaterial as we did not have a significant amount of un-invoiced receivables in the periods ended September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024.

 

Our contract liabilities are as follows:

           
    September 30, 2024     June 30, 2024  
Undelivered products   $ 170,351     $ 158,771  

 

 

 

 12 

 

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of measurement in Topic 606. At contract inception, we assess the products and services promised in our contracts with customers. We then identify performance obligations to transfer distinct products or services to the customer. In order to identify performance obligations, we consider all the products or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

 

Our performance obligations are primarily satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from products transferred to customers at a single point in time accounted for 99.9% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Revenue recognized over a period of time for non-recurring engineering projects is based on the percent complete of a project and accounted for 0.1% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The majority of our revenue recognized at a point in time is for the sale of hotspot router products. Revenue from these contracts is recognized when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the product, which generally coincides with title transfer at completion of the shipping process.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, our contracts do not contain any unsatisfied performance obligations, except for undelivered products.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

All costs associated with our contract manufacturers, as well as distribution, fulfillment and repair services, are included in our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold also includes amortization expenses of approximately $245,233 and $239,624 associated with capitalized product development costs associated with complete technology for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Capitalized Product Development Costs

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” includes software that is part of a product or process to be sold to a customer and is accounted for under Subtopic 985-20. Our products contain embedded software internally developed by FTI, which is an integral part of these products because it allows the various components of the products to communicate with each other and the products are clearly unable to function without this coding.

 

The costs of product development that are capitalized once technological feasibility is determined (noted as technology in progress in the Intangible Assets table in NOTE 4-INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET) include related licenses, certification costs, payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. We determine that technological feasibility for our products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved. Once the products are available for general release to our customers, we cease capitalizing the product development costs and any additional costs, if any, are expensed. The capitalized product development costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line amortization. The amortization begins when the products are available for general release to our customers.

 

As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, capitalized product development costs in progress were $14,000 and $0, respectively, and are included in intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $14,000 and $22,500, respectively, in capitalized product development costs, and such amounts are primarily comprised of certifications and licenses. All costs incurred before technological feasibility is reached are expensed and included in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

 

 

 

 13 

 

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were $1,024,312 and $866,955 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Warranties

 

We provide a warranty for a period of twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months, which is covered by our vendors and manufacturers under purchase agreements between the Company and the vendors. As a result, we believe we do not have any net warranty exposure and do not accrue any warranty expenses. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material net warranty expenditures.

  

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Costs associated with product shipping and handling are expensed as incurred.  Shipping and handling costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), were $78,113 and $52,450 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We invest our excess cash into financial instruments which management believes are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds that are readily convertible to cash and have a $1.00 net asset value.

 

Short Term Investments

 

We have invested excess funds in short-term liquid assets, such as certificates of deposit and government bonds, etc.

 

Inventories, Net

 

Our inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. We assess the inventory carrying value and reduce it, if necessary, to its net realizable value based on customer orders on hand, and internal demand forecasts using management’s best estimates given information currently available. Our customer demand is highly unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly caused by factors beyond the control of the Company. We may write down our inventory value for potential obsolescence and excess inventory. As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, we have recorded inventory reserves in the amount of $91,482 for obsolete or slow-moving inventory.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

   
Machinery   6 years
Office equipment   5 years
Molds   3~6 years
Vehicles   5 years
Computers and software   5 years
Furniture and fixtures   7 years
Facilities improvements   5 years or life of the lease, whichever is shorter

 

 

 

 14 

 

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and certain intangible assets were recorded in connection with the FTI acquisition in October 2009, and were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired. Intangible assets are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and any related impairment losses are recognized in earnings when identified. No impairment was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

  

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” we review for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. We consider the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable based upon our review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the assets; significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount.

 

As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, we were not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We account for stock options and other equity-based compensation issued in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of equity-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all share-based compensation payments granted to employees and non-employees, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employees’ requisite service period or the non-employees’ performance period based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provision of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported.

  

Income Taxes

 

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, unless it is more likely than not such assets will be realized. Current income taxes are based on the year’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes and the annual change in deferred taxes.

 

We assess income tax positions and record tax benefits based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the financial statements. We classify interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

 

As of September 30, 2024, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. We recorded income tax provisions of $47,880 and benefits of $50,060 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We also recorded a decrease in deferred tax asset, non-current, of $47,880, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and an increase in deferred tax asset, non-current, of $50,860 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Earnings (loss) per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

In accordance with ASC 260, basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares that were outstanding for the period, without considering any potential future issuance of common shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method or the as-converted method. Potentially dilutive shares are comprised of common stock options outstanding under our stock plan. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is nondilutive. Nondilutive shares are not taken into account while computation of weighted average number of shares for dilutive EPS calculation.

  

Concentrations

 

We extend credit to our customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations of such customers. We evaluate our accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectability and provide for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.  No reserve was required or recorded for any of the periods presented.

 

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from sales of wireless data products. Any significant decline in market acceptance of our products or in the financial condition of our existing customers could impair our ability to operate effectively.

 

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, sales to our two largest customers accounted for 93.6% of our consolidated net sales, and 71.2% of our accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, sales to our two largest customers accounted for approximately 90.6% of our consolidated net sales, and approximately 97.8% of our accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2023. No other customers accounted for more than ten percent of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased the majority of our wireless data products from two manufacturing companies located in Asia. If these manufacturing companies were to experience delays, capacity constraints or quality control problems, product shipments to our customers could be delayed, or our customers could consequently elect to cancel the underlying product purchase order, which would negatively impact the Company's revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased wireless data products from these manufacturers in the amount of $11,653,180, or 99.9% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $10,186,585 as of September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased wireless data products from these manufacturers in the amount of $6,361,553, or 99.8% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $6,917,202 as of September 30, 2023.

 

We maintain our cash accounts with established commercial banks. Such cash deposits exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of $250,000 for each financial institution.  However, we do not anticipate any losses on excess deposits.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

We adopted ASC 842 new lease accounting on July 1, 2019. We have operating leases for both the Company. and FTI, in accordance with ASC 842. 

 

We determine whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease is a contract that provides the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are recorded in the balance sheet as right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and operating lease obligation. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payment arising from the lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease and measure based on the present value of lease payment over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes deferred rent liabilities. Our lease arrangement generally does not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, in such situations, we use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option in the measurement of its ROU assts and liabilities. Lease expense for operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We leased approximately 12,775 square feet of office space in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $25,754, pursuant to a lease that expired in December 2023. On October 19, 2023, we signed a lease for office space consisting of approximately 11,400 square feet, located in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $27,789, which commenced on January 1, 2024. In addition to monthly rent, the lease includes payment for certain common area costs. The term of the lease for the office space is 65 months from the lease commencement date. Our facility is covered by an appropriate level of insurance, and we believe it to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs. Rent expense for this office space was $83,367 and $77,263 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Our Korea-based subsidiary, FTI, leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space, at a monthly rent of approximately $8,000, and additional office space consisting of approximately 2,682 square feet at a monthly rent of approximately $2,700, both located in Seoul, South Korea. These leases expired on August 31, 2024, and were extended for an additional 24 months to August 31, 2026. In addition to monthly rent, the leases provide for periodic cost of living increases in the base rent and payment for certain common area costs. These facilities are covered by an appropriate level of insurance, and we believe them to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs. Rent expense related to these leases was approximately $27,346 and $32,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

We lease one corporate housing facility, located in Seoul, South Korea, primarily for our employees who travel, under a non-cancelable operating lease that expired on September 4, 2024 and was extended by an additional twelve months to September 4, 2025. Rent expense related to this lease were $2,044 and $2,054 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are not capitalized, and our lease of corporate housing facility has been considered as short-term lease.

 

We used discount rates of 7.0% and 6.0% in determining our operating lease liabilities for the office spaces in San Diego, California, and South Korea, respectively. These rates represented our incremental borrowing rates at that time. Short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are not capitalized. The office leases of our Korea-based subsidiary were extensions of previous leases and do not contain any further extension provisions. Rent expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were $112,757 and $111,417, respectively. In accordance with ASC 842, the components of the lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 are as follows:

        
   Three Months Ended September 30, 
   2024   2023 
Operating lease expense  $110,713   $77,263 
Short term lease cost   2,044    34,154

Litigation

  

We are from time to time involved in certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

Verizon Jetpack Recall

 

On April 8, 2021, Verizon issued a press release announcing that it was working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to conduct a voluntary recall of certain Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack mobile hotspot devices, indicating that the lithium-ion battery in the devices can overheat, posing a fire and burn hazard. According to the CPSC release, the recall affects approximately 2.5 million devices. We imported the devices and supplied them to Verizon.

  

Verizon first advised us of one alleged Jetpack device failure at the end of February 2021. We immediately began meeting with Verizon and requested access to the device. We also began internal testing to evaluate device performance. We did not receive any further incident information until the last week of March 2021. On April 1, 2021 we issued a press release announcing that we had received reports from Verizon about potential issues with the batteries in the devices. On April 9, 2021 we issued a press release announcing the voluntary recall by Verizon.

 

As of the date of this report, we have been unable to recreate any device failures of the type identified by Verizon. All internal testing conducted to date has confirmed that the Jetpack devices are performing within normal parameters. We are not currently aware of any aspect of the Jetpack design that could cause the devices to fail in the way described in Verizon’s recall notice.

 

Future Impact on Financial Performance

 

We are striving to avoid any litigation with Verizon arising from the recall and have not been served with any legal action by Verizon relating to the products covered by the recall. We are not currently able to estimate the financial impact of the recall on our future operations. At this time, we do not have information that identifies the cause of the alleged incidents. We also do not have any specific legal claims or theories of causation for device failure incidents that would help us estimate the cost of potential future litigation. No liability has been recorded for this litigation because the Company believes that any such liability is not probable and reasonably estimable at this time.

 

Shareholder Litigation

 

Ali

 

A shareholder action, Ali vs. Franklin Wireless Corp. et al. Case #3:21-cv-00687-AJB-MSB, was filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego) on April 16, 2021, alleging, among other things, that we had prior knowledge that the Verizon recall was likely and that we did not disclose that information to investors in a timely manner. The Class and Defendants have executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement under which the Class releases all claims against Defendants in exchange for a payment by Defendants of $2.4 million (the “Settlement Amount”), which is reflected in liabilities under “accrued legal contingency expense” with a corresponding charge to “loss from a legal contingency”. The Class has submitted a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement, which the Court denied on January 24, 2024. On April 22, 2024, after resubmission of the application, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On May 6, 2024, per the terms of the settlement agreement, we sent by wire transfer $2,400,000 to an account specified by the Ali class action claim administrator, Epiq (the appointed Settlement Administrator by the Court).

The Harwood and Martin actions have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego) titled “In re Franklin Wireless Corp. Derivative Litigation”, Case No.: 21cv1837-AJB (MSB). Discovery has been completed and trial is scheduled to begin on December 9, 2024.

 

Pape

 

A legal action was filed in the Second Judicial District Court of Nevada in the County of Washoe against Franklin, as a nominal defendant, Barbara Pape, derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Franklin Wireless Corp. v. O.C. Kim, et al., Case # CV22-00471, on or about March 21, 2022, claiming among other things, that we had prior knowledge that the recall was likely and that we did not disclose that information to investors in a timely manner. We believe these allegations are not supported by the facts and we will vigorously defend against such claims.

 

The Company will vigorously defend such shareholder litigation and proceedings. No liability has been recorded for these litigations because the Company believes that any such liability is not probable and reasonably estimable as of the reporting date.

 

“Short-Swing” Profits Litigation

 

A legal action was filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego) against Franklin, as a nominal defendant, Nosirrah Management LLC v. Franklin Wireless et al., Case # 3:21-cv-01316-RSH-JLB, on or about July 22, 2021, claiming that our Chief Executive Officer, O.C. Kim, violated Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for receiving “short-swing” profits from a sale and purchase of Franklin shares, in violation of that Act. On October 19, 2023, the jury returned a verdict of $2,000,000 in favor of the Company against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, O.C. Kim. Mr. Kim. Subsequently, the parties entered into a settlement agreement on June 12, 2024, for Mr. Kim to pay $1,000,000, and the appeal by OC Kim was dismissed. On September 23, 2024 the Company and Mr. Kim entered into a Forbearance Agreement to defer payment of the settlement in exchange for deferment of a $1,250,000 bonus for securing a joint venture agreement with MeiG Smart Technology Co., Ltd. to allow Mr. Kim time to pursue remedies with the State of Nevada.

 

Loan Agreement with Subsidiary

 

On March 21, 2022, Franklin Wireless Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Loan Agreement with its South Korean subsidiary, FTI, under which the Company agreed to loan US$10,000,000 to FTI. The Company owns a majority of the outstanding equity of FTI. FTI’s primary business is providing design and development services to the Company for our wireless products. As part of the loan transaction, FTI delivered a $10 million Promissory Note to the Company (the “Note”). In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, the transactions and balances related to the loan of $10 million, including the accrued interest for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were eliminated as intercompany transactions.

 

The purpose of the loan is to allow FTI to purchase a facility in South Korea to house its operations, and to provide it with additional working capital. The purchase of such a facility with the loan proceeds is subject to the Company’s reasonable approval. Upon acquisition of the facility, FTI is required to grant the Company a mortgage on it to secure payment of the Note. The Note is for a term of five years, provides for annual payments of interest at 2% per annum, and is due and payable upon maturity. The Note and Loan Agreement includes customary provisions for default and acceleration upon default, and a default interest rate of 7% per annum. FTI has not yet acquired a facility for its operations.

Employment Contracts

 

On October 1, 2020, we entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President, and Yun J. (David) Lee, our Senior Vice President of Sales and previously served as Chief Operating Officer. Each Change of Control Agreement provides for a lump sum payment to the officer in case of a change of control of the Company. The term includes the acquisition of Common Stock of the Company resulting in one person or company owning more than 50% of the outstanding shares, a significant change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company during any 12-month period, a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction resulting in the transfer of ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

The Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim calls for a payment of $5 million upon a change of control, and the agreement with Mr. Lee calls for a payment of $2 million upon a change of control. These agreements were for an initial term of three years but have now been extended through October 2027.

 

On November 10, 2022, the Company and OC Kim, its President, entered into an amendment of the employment agreement dated September 7, 2021. The amendment provides for a severance payment of $3 million if Mr. Kim voluntarily terminates his employment by the Company or if he voluntarily terminates his employment due to a “change in circumstances,” generally defined as a material breach by the Company of its salary and benefit obligations or a significant reduction in Mr. Kim’s title or responsibilities. In the case of a termination of employment by the Company for cause (generally defined as conviction of a felony, or a misdemeanor where imprisonment is imposed, commission of any act of theft, fraud, dishonesty, or material falsification of any employment or Company records, or improper disclosure of the Company’s confidential or proprietary information), the Company is to make a severance payment of $1,500,000. In either case, any unvested options become immediately vested.

 

In the amendment, Mr. Kim also agrees that, for a period of two years after termination, he will not disparage the Company or its officers, solicit any of its employees to terminate their employment, or disclose any of the Company’s proprietary information.  In addition, the amendment provides for the payment of an incentive bonus to Mr. Kim of $125,000 for each calendar quarter during the remaining four-year term of the employment letter, with the first such bonus due on December 31, 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, $125,000 bonus had been accrued, respectively, with $1,000,000 and $875,000 accrual bonus balances as of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, respectively.

 

The employment agreement with OC Kim was renewed and extended by the Board in September 2024 and will continue through October 2027.

 

Forbearance Agreement

 

On May 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement for Formation of Corporation (the “Agreement”) with MeiG Smart Technology Co., Ltd. (“MeiG”), a leading supplier of cellular modules, IoT terminals and wireless data solutions. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company and MeiG are to form a Nevada corporation to be owned 60% by Franklin and 40% by MeiG. The Company will contribute $3,000,000 to the new corporation and MeiG will contribute $2,000,000, each for Common Stock in the new corporation. Under the terms of the Agreement, the new corporation will have a Board of Directors consisting of three members, with two to be appointed by the Company and one to be appointed by MeiG. The new company will engage in worldwide sales, marketing, customer support and operations for telecommunications modules to be provided by MeiG, under such brands or designations as the Board of Directors of the new company will determine. As of September 30, 2024, no contribution for Common Stock has been made by the Company or MeiG.

 

On September 23, 2024, the Board acknowledged that Mr. Kim had earned an incentive bonus of $1,250,000 for negotiating and securing a joint venture agreement with MeiG Smart Technology Co., Ltd. However, the Company and Mr. Kim entered into a Forbearance Agreement, dated September 23, 2024, under which Mr. Kim agreed to defer the bonus, in exchange for the Company’s agreement to allow Mr. Kim to defer payment of the $1,000,000 settlement amount owed by Mr. Kim to the Company under a Settlement Agreement, dated June 12, 2024. The forbearance is to allow Mr. Kim time to pursue remedies with the State of Nevada during the forbearance period (September 23, 2024 to September 23, 2025)

International Tariffs

 

We believe that our products are currently exempt from international tariffs upon import from our manufacturers to the United States. However, following the 2024 US election, it is possible that tariffs may be imposed on imports, but it is not currently known which countries’ imports will be affected. If such tariffs are imposed, they could have a materially adverse effect on sales and operating results.

 

Customer Indemnification

 

Under purchase orders and contracts for the sale of our products we may provide indemnification to our customers for potential intellectual property infringement claims for which we may have no corresponding recourse against our third-party licensors. This potential liability, if realized, could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

NOTE 7 – CYBERSECURITY.

 

Cybersecurity risk management is an integral part of our overall enterprise risk management program. The Company manages cybersecurity and data protection through a continuously evolving program. Our cybersecurity risk management program is designed to provide a framework for assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity threats and incidents, including threats and incidents associated with the use of services provided by third-party service providers, and to facilitate coordination across different departments of our Company. Our processes include steps for assessing the severity of a cybersecurity threat, identifying the source of a cybersecurity threat, including whether the cybersecurity threat is associated with a third-party service provider, and implementing cybersecurity countermeasures and mitigation strategies and informing management and the board of directors of material cybersecurity threats and incidents.

 

The Board of Directors has oversight for the most significant risks facing us and for our processes to identify, prioritize, assess, manage and mitigate those risks. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) has been designated to oversee cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee receives regular updates on cybersecurity and information technology matters and related risk exposures from our management. The Board of Directors also receives periodic updates from management and the Audit Committee on  cybersecurity risks. Management is responsible for identifying, considering and assessing material cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis, establishing processes designed to ensure that such potential cybersecurity risk exposures are monitored, putting in place mitigation measures and maintaining cybersecurity programs. Our cybersecurity programs are under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer. Management regularly updates the Audit Committee on our cybersecurity programs, which includes cybersecurity risks and mitigation strategies, vulnerability management, and on-going cybersecurity projects.

 

As of September 30, 2024, we did not identify any cybersecurity incidents that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, despite our efforts, we cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats or provide assurances that we have not experienced an undetected cybersecurity incident. It is possible that we may not implement appropriate controls if we do not detect a particular risk. In addition, security controls, no matter how well designed or implemented, may only mitigate and not fully eliminate the risks. Even when a risk is detected, disruptive events may not always be immediately and thoroughly interpreted and acted upon.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

 

We apply the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” to all of our stock-based compensation awards and use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options. The fair value of each share option award on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes method based on the following weighted average assumptions: The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of options award; the expected term represents awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving considerations vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the dividend yield is based upon the company’s dividend rate at the time fair value is measure and future expectations. Under this application, we record compensation expense for all awards granted.

 

In July of 2020, the Board of Directors adopted the 2020 Franklin Wireless Corp. Stock Option Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which covers 800,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to our employees, directors, and independent contractors. These options will have such vesting or other provisions as may be established by the Board of Directors at the time of each grant.

 

The estimated forfeiture rate considers historical turnover rates stratified into employee pools in comparison with an overall employee turnover rate, as well as expectations about the future. We periodically revise the estimated forfeiture rate in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. There were $87,384 and $51,589 compensation expenses recorded under this method for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 

 

A summary of the status of our stock options is presented below as of September 30, 2024:

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, there have not been any transactions entered into or been a participant in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The FASB issued ASC 855, “Subsequent Events.” ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. We have evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2024, up through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. During these periods, we did not have any material recognizable subsequent events required to be disclosed to the financial statements as of November 14, 2024.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This report contains certain forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in this report. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information, which speaks only as of the date of this report.  We are not obligated to publicly update this information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent we are required to do so in connection with our obligation to file reports with the SEC. For a discussion of the important risks to our business and future operating performance, see the discussion under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and under the caption “Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, filed on September 30, 2024.  In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Doing business as “FranklinAccess”, we are a leading global provider of integrated wireless solutions utilizing the latest 5G (fifth generation) and 4G LTE (fourth generation long-term evolution) technologies including mobile hotspots, fixed wireless routers, and mobile device management (MDM) solutions. We are a leading enabler of the Digital Divide initiative, and our expertise extends to innovation in Internet of Things (IOT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, driving forward seamless communication and connectivity for both individuals and enterprises.

 

We have majority ownership of Franklin Technology Inc. (FTI), a research and development company based in Seoul, South Korea. FTI primarily provides design and development services for our wireless products.

 

Our products are generally marketed and sold directly to wireless operators and indirectly through strategic partners and distributors. Our primary markets are in North America and Asia. 

 

FACTORS THAT MAY INFLUENCE FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We believe that our revenue growth will be influenced largely by (1) the successful maintenance of our existing customers, (2) the rate of increase in demand for wireless data products, (3) customer acceptance of our new products, (4) new customer relationships and contracts, (5) our ability to meet customers’ demands, (6) our ability to maintain good relationships with our manufacturing partners and suppliers, and (7) the defect rates experienced by end users of our hardware and software products.

 

We have entered into and expect to continue to enter into new customer relationships and contracts for the supply of our products, and this may require significant demands on our resources, resulting in increased operating, selling, and marketing expenses associated with such new customers.

 

We continuously evaluate the performance of our hardware and software products to discover defects that can adversely affect our revenue, income, and the price of our stock. If defects occur that customers believe are either severe in nature or excessively frequent in occurrence, customers could stop buying our products and services and the value of our stock may decrease.

 

We are also seeing that demand from end-users has been shifting in the post-pandemic economy as remote education and work from home trends are declining. Current demand for mobile device management (MDM) services has been declining. We are working to improve and further enhance our software service offerings to address this change in the market.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates and assumptions have been prepared on the basis of the most current reasonably available information. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

 

We have several critical accounting policies, which were described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments. Typically, the circumstances that make these judgments difficult, subjective, and complex have to do with making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following table sets forth, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our statements of comprehensive income (loss) including data expressed as a percentage of sales:

 

    Three Months Ended  
    September 30,  
    2024     2023  
             
Net sales     100.0%       100.0%  
Cost of goods sold     (84.5% )     (84.3% )
Gross profit     15.5%       15.7%  
Operating expenses     18.3%       21.7%  
Loss from operations     (2.8% )     (6.0% )
Other income, net     8.0%       2.0%  
Net income (loss) before income taxes     5.2%       (4.0% )
Income tax provisions (benefits)     0.3%       (0.5% )
Net income (loss)     4.9%       (3.5% )
Less: noncontrolling interest in net income (loss) of subsidiary     1.0%       (0.8% )
Net income (loss) attributable to Parent Company stockholders     3.9%       (2.7% )

 

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

 

NET SALES - Net sales increased by $3,667,366, or 38.0%, to $13,322,912 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $9,655,546 for the corresponding period of 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of North America and Asia, were $13,322,448 (100.0% of net sales) and $464 (0.0% of net sales), respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of North America and Asia, were $9,655,546 (100.0% of net sales) and $0 (0.0% of net sales), respectively.

 

Net sales in North America increased by $3,666,902, or 38.0%, to $13,322,448 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $9,655,546 for the corresponding period of 2023. The increase in net sales in North America was primarily due to the increased sales of approximately $6.4M for our two wireless products from two major carrier customers for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which was partially offset by the decreased sales of one wireless product by approximately $2.7M, compared to the corresponding period of 2023. Net sales in Asia increased by $464, or 100%, to $464 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $0 for the corresponding period of 2023.

 

 

 

 27 

 

 

GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased by $558,342, or 36.9%, to $2,071,502 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $1,513,160 for the corresponding period of 2023. The gross profit in terms of net sales percentage was 15.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 15.7% for the corresponding period of 2023.

 

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the change in net sales as described above. The decrease in gross profit margin in terms of net sales was primarily driven by a decline in the proportion of high-margin sales while overall sales increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of 2023.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased by $346,608, or 16.5%, to $2,444,285 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $2,097,677 for the corresponding period of 2023.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $189,251, or 15.4%, to $1,419,973 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $1,230,722 for the corresponding period of 2023. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increased legal expenses and payroll expenses of approximately $74,000 and $70,000, respectively.

 

Research and development expense increased by $157,357, or 18.2%, to $1,024,312 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $866,955 for the corresponding period of 2023. The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to the increased sample generations to test new products of approximately $150,000, which typically vary from period to period.

  

TOTAL OTHER INCOME, NET - Other income, net increased by $872,063, or 442.1%, to $1,069,319 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $197,256 for the corresponding period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the favorable changes in foreign currency and the gain from the appreciation on the currency exchange rates in FTI of approximately $650,000 and the forgiven accrued commission from a customer of approximately $250,000.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our historical operating results, capital resources and financial position, in combination with current projections and estimates, were considered in management's plan and intentions to fund our operations over a reasonable period of time, which we define as the twelve-month period ending from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. For purposes of liquidity disclosures, we assess the likelihood that we have sufficient available working capital and other principal sources of liquidity to fund our operating activities and obligations as they become due.

 

Our principal source of liquidity as of September 30, 2024 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, as well as short-term investments, of $40,678,153. We believe we have sufficient available capital to cover our existing operations and obligations through at least one year from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. Our long-term future cash requirements will depend on numerous factors, including our revenue base, profit margins, product development activities, market acceptance of our products, future expansion plans and ability to control costs. If we are unable to achieve our current business plan or secure additional funding that may be required, we would need to curtail our operations or take other similar actions outside the ordinary course of business in order to continue to operate as a going concern.

 

OPERATING ACTIVITIES - Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $2,670,900, and net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $5,223,316.

 

The $2,670,900 in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable of $3,550,907 as well as our operating results (net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash charges), which was partially offset by the increase of inventories of $1,127,477

 

The $5,223,316 in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable of $5,800,795 and the increase of accounts receivable of $978,093 of as well as our operating results (net loss adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash charges), which was partially offset by the decrease in inventory of $1,479,279.

 

 

 

 28 

 

 

INVESTING ACTIVITIES – Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $334,785 and $98,759, respectively.

 

The $334,785 in net cash used in financial activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was from the purchased short-term investments of $291,869 and the payments for property and equipment of $21,544, respectively.

 

The $98,759 in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the increased short-term investments of $73,832 and the payments for capitalized product development of $22,500.

 

FINANCING ACTIVITIES - Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $0 and $1,023, respectively. The $1,023 in net cash used in financial activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was from the increased loan interest to an employee. 

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

 

Leases

 

We lease approximately 11,400 square feet of office space in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $27,789, which commenced on January 1, 2024. This lease will expire on May 31, 2029. In addition to monthly rent, the lease includes payment for certain common area costs. Our facility is covered by an appropriate level of insurance, and we believe it to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs.

 

Our Korea-based subsidiary, FTI, leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space, at a monthly rent of approximately $8,000, and additional office space consisting of approximately 2,682 square feet at a monthly rent of approximately $2,700, both located in Seoul, South Korea. These leases expired on August 31, 2024, and were extended for an additional 24 months to August 31, 2026. In addition to monthly rent, the leases provide for periodic cost of living increases in the base rent and payment for certain common area costs. These facilities are covered by an appropriate level of insurance, and we believe them to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs.

 

We lease one corporate housing facility, located in Seoul, South Korea, primarily for our employees who travel, under a non-cancelable operating lease that expires on September 4, 2025.

 

Rent expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were $112,757 and $111,417, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary with a majority voting interest of approximately 66.3% (approximately 33.7% is owned by non-controlling interests) as of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of the subsidiary applicable to non-controlling interests.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts on the prior period’s consolidated financial statements were regrouped and reclassified to conform to current-year presentation, with no effect on total stockholders’ equity.

 

Non-controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary

 

Noncontrolling interests represent approximately 33.7% equity interests in FTI held by minority shareholders as of the reporting dates. As of September 30, 2024, the non-controlling interest was $1,405,537, which represents a $176,593 increase from $1,228,944 as of June 30, 2024. The increase of $176,593 in the non-controlling interest consists of $133,469 from income in the subsidiary of $396,552 and $43,124 from foreign exchange translation incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2024. 

 

Segment Reporting

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility. We have one reportable segment, consisting of the sale of wireless access products.

 

We generate revenue from two geographic areas, consisting of North America and Asia. The following enterprise-wide disclosure is prepared on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following table contains certain financial information by geographic area:

Asia   201,949    206,426 
Totals  $1,184,967   $1,424,565 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity, associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities are as follows:

 

    · Level 1 – Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
       
    · Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
       
    · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be directly corroborated by observable market data and that typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate the related fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. We invest our excess cash into financial instruments which are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds and certificates of deposit

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

On July 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held to maturity debt securities. It also applies to Off-Balance Sheet (“OBS”) credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments and leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. Upon adoption of ASC 326 and based upon our review of our collection history as well as the current balances associated with all significant customers and associated invoices, as of September 30, 2024, we did not record any reserve for unfunded commitments and doubtful accounts.

 

Cash Flows Reporting

 

We follow ASC 230, Statements of Cash Flows, for cash flows reporting, which classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category. We use the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and all items that are included in net income (loss) that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.

 

Related Parties

 

We follow ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of our management and policies of the Company. (Refer to NOTE 9–RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS)

 

Foreign Currency Translations

 

We have a majority-owned subsidiary in a foreign country, South Korea. Fluctuations in foreign currency impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, earnings and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiary upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. Dollars for, and as of the end of, each reporting period. In particular, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar generally will reduce the reported amount of our foreign-denominated cash, cash equivalents, total revenues and total expense that we translate into U.S. Dollars and report in our consolidated financial statements for, and as of the end of, each reporting period. However, a majority of our consolidated revenue is denominated in U.S. Dollars, and therefore, our revenue is not directly subject to foreign currency risk.

 

In accordance with ASC 830, when an operation has transactions denominated in a currency other than its functional currency, they are measured in the functional currency. Changes in the expected functional currency cash flows caused by changes in exchange rates are included in net income (loss) for the period.

 

Leases

 

In accordance with ASC 842, we determine whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease is a contract that provides the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For identified leases, we determine whether it should be classified as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are recorded in the balance sheet as right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and operating lease obligation. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payment arising from the lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease and measure based on the present value of lease payment over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes deferred rent liabilities. Our lease arrangement generally does not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, in such situations, we use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option in the measurement of its ROU assts and liabilities.

 

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for its revenue according to ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, pursuant to which, revenue is recognized when the control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, and the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Contracts with Customers

 

Revenue from sales of products and services is derived from contracts with customers. The products and services promised in contracts primarily consist of hotspot routers. Contracts with each customer generally state the terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service. Payment terms are stated in the contract, primarily in the form of a purchase order. Since the customer typically agrees to a stated rate and price in the purchase order that does not vary over the life of the contract, the majority of our contracts do not contain variable consideration. We establish a provision for estimated warranty and returns. Using historical averages, those provisions for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were not material.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

In accordance with Topic 606, we disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories meets the disclosure objective in Topic 606, which is to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by regional economic factors.

 

Contract Balances

 

We perform our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products in exchange for consideration from the customer. We typically invoice our customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred, and a receivable is established. We, however, recognize a contract liability when a customer prepays for goods and/or services, or we have not delivered goods under the contract since we have not yet transferred control of the goods and/or services.

 

The balances of our trade receivables are as follows:

           
    September 30, 2024     June 30, 2024  
Accounts Receivable   $ 1,800,202     $ 1,155,060  

 

The balance of contract assets was immaterial as we did not have a significant amount of un-invoiced receivables in the periods ended September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024.

 

Our contract liabilities are as follows:

           
    September 30, 2024     June 30, 2024  
Undelivered products   $ 170,351     $ 158,771  

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of measurement in Topic 606. At contract inception, we assess the products and services promised in our contracts with customers. We then identify performance obligations to transfer distinct products or services to the customer. In order to identify performance obligations, we consider all the products or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

 

Our performance obligations are primarily satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from products transferred to customers at a single point in time accounted for 99.9% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Revenue recognized over a period of time for non-recurring engineering projects is based on the percent complete of a project and accounted for 0.1% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The majority of our revenue recognized at a point in time is for the sale of hotspot router products. Revenue from these contracts is recognized when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the product, which generally coincides with title transfer at completion of the shipping process.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, our contracts do not contain any unsatisfied performance obligations, except for undelivered products.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

All costs associated with our contract manufacturers, as well as distribution, fulfillment and repair services, are included in our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold also includes amortization expenses of approximately $245,233 and $239,624 associated with capitalized product development costs associated with complete technology for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Capitalized Product Development Costs

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” includes software that is part of a product or process to be sold to a customer and is accounted for under Subtopic 985-20. Our products contain embedded software internally developed by FTI, which is an integral part of these products because it allows the various components of the products to communicate with each other and the products are clearly unable to function without this coding.

 

The costs of product development that are capitalized once technological feasibility is determined (noted as technology in progress in the Intangible Assets table in NOTE 4-INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET) include related licenses, certification costs, payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. We determine that technological feasibility for our products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved. Once the products are available for general release to our customers, we cease capitalizing the product development costs and any additional costs, if any, are expensed. The capitalized product development costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line amortization. The amortization begins when the products are available for general release to our customers.

 

As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, capitalized product development costs in progress were $14,000 and $0, respectively, and are included in intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $14,000 and $22,500, respectively, in capitalized product development costs, and such amounts are primarily comprised of certifications and licenses. All costs incurred before technological feasibility is reached are expensed and included in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were $1,024,312 and $866,955 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Warranties

 

We provide a warranty for a period of twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months, which is covered by our vendors and manufacturers under purchase agreements between the Company and the vendors. As a result, we believe we do not have any net warranty exposure and do not accrue any warranty expenses. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material net warranty expenditures.

  

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Costs associated with product shipping and handling are expensed as incurred.  Shipping and handling costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), were $78,113 and $52,450 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We invest our excess cash into financial instruments which management believes are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds that are readily convertible to cash and have a $1.00 net asset value.

 

Short Term Investments

 

We have invested excess funds in short-term liquid assets, such as certificates of deposit and government bonds, etc.

 

Inventories, Net

 

Our inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. We assess the inventory carrying value and reduce it, if necessary, to its net realizable value based on customer orders on hand, and internal demand forecasts using management’s best estimates given information currently available. Our customer demand is highly unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly caused by factors beyond the control of the Company. We may write down our inventory value for potential obsolescence and excess inventory. As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, we have recorded inventory reserves in the amount of $91,482 for obsolete or slow-moving inventory.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

   
Machinery   6 years
Office equipment   5 years
Molds   3~6 years
Vehicles   5 years
Computers and software   5 years
Furniture and fixtures   7 years
Facilities improvements   5 years or life of the lease, whichever is shorter

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and certain intangible assets were recorded in connection with the FTI acquisition in October 2009, and were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired. Intangible assets are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and any related impairment losses are recognized in earnings when identified. No impairment was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

  

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” we review for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. We consider the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable based upon our review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the assets; significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount.

 

As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, we were not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We account for stock options and other equity-based compensation issued in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of equity-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all share-based compensation payments granted to employees and non-employees, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employees’ requisite service period or the non-employees’ performance period based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provision of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported.

  

Income Taxes

 

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, unless it is more likely than not such assets will be realized. Current income taxes are based on the year’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes and the annual change in deferred taxes.

 

We assess income tax positions and record tax benefits based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the financial statements. We classify interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

 

As of September 30, 2024, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. We recorded income tax provisions of $47,880 and benefits of $50,060 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We also recorded a decrease in deferred tax asset, non-current, of $47,880, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and an increase in deferred tax asset, non-current, of $50,860 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Earnings (loss) per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

In accordance with ASC 260, basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares that were outstanding for the period, without considering any potential future issuance of common shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method or the as-converted method. Potentially dilutive shares are comprised of common stock options outstanding under our stock plan. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is nondilutive. Nondilutive shares are not taken into account while computation of weighted average number of shares for dilutive EPS calculation.

  

Concentrations

 

We extend credit to our customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations of such customers. We evaluate our accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectability and provide for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.  No reserve was required or recorded for any of the periods presented.

 

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from sales of wireless data products. Any significant decline in market acceptance of our products or in the financial condition of our existing customers could impair our ability to operate effectively.

 

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, sales to our two largest customers accounted for 93.6% of our consolidated net sales, and 71.2% of our accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, sales to our two largest customers accounted for approximately 90.6% of our consolidated net sales, and approximately 97.8% of our accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2023. No other customers accounted for more than ten percent of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased the majority of our wireless data products from two manufacturing companies located in Asia. If these manufacturing companies were to experience delays, capacity constraints or quality control problems, product shipments to our customers could be delayed, or our customers could consequently elect to cancel the underlying product purchase order, which would negatively impact the Company's revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased wireless data products from these manufacturers in the amount of $11,653,180, or 99.9% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $10,186,585 as of September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased wireless data products from these manufacturers in the amount of $6,361,553, or 99.8% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $6,917,202 as of September 30, 2023.

 

We maintain our cash accounts with established commercial banks. Such cash deposits exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of $250,000 for each financial institution.  However, we do not anticipate any losses on excess deposits.

  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements once adopted.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses. This includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization.  The ASU is effective on a prospective or retrospective basis for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements once adopted.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

We adopted ASC 842 new lease accounting on July 1, 2019. We have operating leases for both the Company. and FTI, in accordance with ASC 842. 

 

We determine whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease is a contract that provides the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are recorded in the balance sheet as right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and operating lease obligation. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payment arising from the lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease and measure based on the present value of lease payment over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes deferred rent liabilities. Our lease arrangement generally does not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, in such situations, we use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option in the measurement of its ROU assts and liabilities. Lease expense for operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

We leased approximately 12,775 square feet of office space in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $25,754, pursuant to a lease that expired in December 2023. On October 19, 2023, we signed a lease for office space consisting of approximately 11,400 square feet, located in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $27,789, which commenced on January 1, 2024. In addition to monthly rent, the lease includes payment for certain common area costs. The term of the lease for the office space is 65 months from the lease commencement date. Our facility is covered by an appropriate level of insurance, and we believe it to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs. Rent expense for this office space was $83,367 and $77,263 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Our Korea-based subsidiary, FTI, leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space, at a monthly rent of approximately $8,000, and additional office space consisting of approximately 2,682 square feet at a monthly rent of approximately $2,700, both located in Seoul, South Korea. These leases expired on August 31, 2024, and were extended for an additional 24 months to August 31, 2026. In addition to monthly rent, the leases provide for periodic cost of living increases in the base rent and payment for certain common area costs. These facilities are covered by an appropriate level of insurance, and we believe them to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs. Rent expense related to these leases was approximately $27,346 and $32,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

We lease one corporate housing facility, located in Seoul, South Korea, primarily for our employees who travel, under a non-cancelable operating lease that expired on September 4, 2024 and was extended by an additional twelve months to September 4, 2025. Rent expense related to this lease were $2,044 and $2,054 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are not capitalized, and our lease of corporate housing facility has been considered as short-term lease.

 

We used discount rates of 7.0% and 6.0% in determining our operating lease liabilities for the office spaces in San Diego, California, and South Korea, respectively. These rates represented our incremental borrowing rates at that time. Short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are not capitalized. The office leases of our Korea-based subsidiary were extensions of previous leases and do not contain any further extension provisions. Rent expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were $112,757 and $111,417, respectively. In accordance with ASC 842, the components of the lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 are as follows:

        
   Three Months Ended September 30, 
   2024   2023 
Operating lease expense  $110,713   $77,263 
Short term lease cost   2,044    34,154

Litigation

  

We are from time to time involved in certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

Verizon Jetpack Recall

 

On April 8, 2021, Verizon issued a press release announcing that it was working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to conduct a voluntary recall of certain Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack mobile hotspot devices, indicating that the lithium-ion battery in the devices can overheat, posing a fire and burn hazard. According to the CPSC release, the recall affects approximately 2.5 million devices. We imported the devices and supplied them to Verizon.

  

Verizon first advised us of one alleged Jetpack device failure at the end of February 2021. We immediately began meeting with Verizon and requested access to the device. We also began internal testing to evaluate device performance. We did not receive any further incident information until the last week of March 2021. On April 1, 2021 we issued a press release announcing that we had received reports from Verizon about potential issues with the batteries in the devices. On April 9, 2021 we issued a press release announcing the voluntary recall by Verizon.

 

As of the date of this report, we have been unable to recreate any device failures of the type identified by Verizon. All internal testing conducted to date has confirmed that the Jetpack devices are performing within normal parameters. We are not currently aware of any aspect of the Jetpack design that could cause the devices to fail in the way described in Verizon’s recall notice.

 

Future Impact on Financial Performance

 

We are striving to avoid any litigation with Verizon arising from the recall and have not been served with any legal action by Verizon relating to the products covered by the recall. We are not currently able to estimate the financial impact of the recall on our future operations. At this time, we do not have information that identifies the cause of the alleged incidents. We also do not have any specific legal claims or theories of causation for device failure incidents that would help us estimate the cost of potential future litigation. No liability has been recorded for this litigation because the Company believes that any such liability is not probable and reasonably estimable at this time.

 

Shareholder Litigation

 

Ali

 

A shareholder action, Ali vs. Franklin Wireless Corp. et al. Case #3:21-cv-00687-AJB-MSB, was filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego) on April 16, 2021, alleging, among other things, that we had prior knowledge that the Verizon recall was likely and that we did not disclose that information to investors in a timely manner. The Class and Defendants have executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement under which the Class releases all claims against Defendants in exchange for a payment by Defendants of $2.4 million (the “Settlement Amount”), which is reflected in liabilities under “accrued legal contingency expense” with a corresponding charge to “loss from a legal contingency”. The Class has submitted a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement, which the Court denied on January 24, 2024. On April 22, 2024, after resubmission of the application, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On May 6, 2024, per the terms of the settlement agreement, we sent by wire transfer $2,400,000 to an account specified by the Ali class action claim administrator, Epiq (the appointed Settlement Administrator by the Court).

 

Harwood / Martin

 

A legal action was filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego) against Franklin, as a nominal defendant, by Stephen Harwood, derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Franklin Wireless Corp. v. O.C. Kim, et al., Case #21cv01837-AJB-MSB, on or about October 29, 2021, claiming among other things, that we had prior knowledge that the recall was likely and that we did not disclose that information to investors in a timely manner. We believe these allegations are not supported by the facts and we will vigorously defend against such claims.

 

A legal action was filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego) against Franklin, as a nominal defendant, by Debra Martin, derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Franklin Wireless Corp. v.

We believe these allegations are not supported by the facts and we will vigorously defend against such claims.

 

The Harwood and Martin actions have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego) titled “In re Franklin Wireless Corp. Derivative Litigation”, Case No.: 21cv1837-AJB (MSB). Discovery has been completed and trial is scheduled to begin on December 9, 2024.

 

Pape

 

A legal action was filed in the Second Judicial District Court of Nevada in the County of Washoe against Franklin, as a nominal defendant, Barbara Pape, derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Franklin Wireless Corp. v. O.C. Kim, et al., Case # CV22-00471, on or about March 21, 2022, claiming among other things, that we had prior knowledge that the recall was likely and that we did not disclose that information to investors in a timely manner. We believe these allegations are not supported by the facts and we will vigorously defend against such claims.

 

The Company will vigorously defend such shareholder litigation and proceedings. No liability has been recorded for these litigations because the Company believes that any such liability is not probable and reasonably estimable as of the reporting date.

 

“Short-Swing” Profits Litigation

 

A legal action was filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego) against Franklin, as a nominal defendant, Nosirrah Management LLC v. Franklin Wireless et al., Case # 3:21-cv-01316-RSH-JLB, on or about July 22, 2021, claiming that our Chief Executive Officer, O.C. Kim, violated Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for receiving “short-swing” profits from a sale and purchase of Franklin shares, in violation of that Act. On October 19, 2023, the jury returned a verdict of $2,000,000 in favor of the Company against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, O.C. Kim. Mr. Kim. Subsequently, the parties entered into a settlement agreement on June 12, 2024, for Mr. Kim to pay $1,000,000, and the appeal by OC Kim was dismissed. On September 23, 2024 the Company and Mr. Kim entered into a Forbearance Agreement to defer payment of the settlement in exchange for deferment of a $1,250,000 bonus for securing a joint venture agreement with MeiG Smart Technology Co., Ltd. to allow Mr. Kim time to pursue remedies with the State of Nevada.

 

Loan Agreement with Subsidiary

 

On March 21, 2022, Franklin Wireless Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Loan Agreement with its South Korean subsidiary, FTI, under which the Company agreed to loan US$10,000,000 to FTI. The Company owns a majority of the outstanding equity of FTI. FTI’s primary business is providing design and development services to the Company for our wireless products. As part of the loan transaction, FTI delivered a $10 million Promissory Note to the Company (the “Note”). In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, the transactions and balances related to the loan of $10 million, including the accrued interest for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were eliminated as intercompany transactions.

 

The purpose of the loan is to allow FTI to purchase a facility in South Korea to house its operations, and to provide it with additional working capital. The purchase of such a facility with the loan proceeds is subject to the Company’s reasonable approval. Upon acquisition of the facility, FTI is required to grant the Company a mortgage on it to secure payment of the Note. The Note is for a term of five years, provides for annual payments of interest at 2% per annum, and is due and payable upon maturity. The Note and Loan Agreement includes customary provisions for default and acceleration upon default, and a default interest rate of 7% per annum. FTI has not yet acquired a facility for its operations.

 

Employment Contracts

 

On October 1, 2020, we entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President, and Yun J. (David) Lee, our Senior Vice President of Sales and previously served as Chief Operating Officer. Each Change of Control Agreement provides for a lump sum payment to the officer in case of a change of control of the Company. The term includes the acquisition of Common Stock of the Company resulting in one person or company owning more than 50% of the outstanding shares, a significant change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company during any 12-month period, a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction resulting in the transfer of ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

The Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim calls for a payment of $5 million upon a change of control, and the agreement with Mr. Lee calls for a payment of $2 million upon a change of control. These agreements were for an initial term of three years but have now been extended through October 2027.

 

On November 10, 2022, the Company and OC Kim, its President, entered into an amendment of the employment agreement dated September 7, 2021. The amendment provides for a severance payment of $3 million if Mr. Kim voluntarily terminates his employment by the Company or if he voluntarily terminates his employment due to a “change in circumstances,” generally defined as a material breach by the Company of its salary and benefit obligations or a significant reduction in Mr. Kim’s title or responsibilities. In the case of a termination of employment by the Company for cause (generally defined as conviction of a felony, or a misdemeanor where imprisonment is imposed, commission of any act of theft, fraud, dishonesty, or material falsification of any employment or Company records, or improper disclosure of the Company’s confidential or proprietary information), the Company is to make a severance payment of $1,500,000. In either case, any unvested options become immediately vested.

 

In the amendment, Mr. Kim also agrees that, for a period of two years after termination, he will not disparage the Company or its officers, solicit any of its employees to terminate their employment, or disclose any of the Company’s proprietary information.  In addition, the amendment provides for the payment of an incentive bonus to Mr. Kim of $125,000 for each calendar quarter during the remaining four-year term of the employment letter, with the first such bonus due on December 31, 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, $125,000 bonus had been accrued, respectively, with $1,000,000 and $875,000 accrual bonus balances as of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, respectively.

 

The employment agreement with OC Kim was renewed and extended by the Board in September 2024 and will continue through October 2027.

 

Forbearance Agreement

 

On May 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement for Formation of Corporation (the “Agreement”) with MeiG Smart Technology Co., Ltd. (“MeiG”), a leading supplier of cellular modules, IoT terminals and wireless data solutions. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company and MeiG are to form a Nevada corporation to be owned 60% by Franklin and 40% by MeiG. The Company will contribute $3,000,000 to the new corporation and MeiG will contribute $2,000,000, each for Common Stock in the new corporation. Under the terms of the Agreement, the new corporation will have a Board of Directors consisting of three members, with two to be appointed by the Company and one to be appointed by MeiG. The new company will engage in worldwide sales, marketing, customer support and operations for telecommunications modules to be provided by MeiG, under such brands or designations as the Board of Directors of the new company will determine. As of September 30, 2024, no contribution for Common Stock has been made by the Company or MeiG.

 

On September 23, 2024, the Board acknowledged that Mr. Kim had earned an incentive bonus of $1,250,000 for negotiating and securing a joint venture agreement with MeiG Smart Technology Co., Ltd. However, the Company and Mr. Kim entered into a Forbearance Agreement, dated September 23, 2024, under which Mr. Kim agreed to defer the bonus, in exchange for the Company’s agreement to allow Mr. Kim to defer payment of the $1,000,000 settlement amount owed by Mr. Kim to the Company under a Settlement Agreement, dated June 12, 2024. The forbearance is to allow Mr. Kim time to pursue remedies with the State of Nevada during the forbearance period (September 23, 2024 to September 23, 2025)

 

International Tariffs

 

We believe that our products are currently exempt from international tariffs upon import from our manufacturers to the United States. However, following the 2024 US election, it is possible that tariffs may be imposed on imports, but it is not currently known which countries’ imports will be affected. If such tariffs are imposed, they could have a materially adverse effect on sales and operating results.

 

Customer Indemnification

 

Under purchase orders and contracts for the sale of our products we may provide indemnification to our customers for potential intellectual property infringement claims for which we may have no corresponding recourse against our third-party licensors. This potential liability, if realized, could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

CYBERSECURITY

NOTE 7 – CYBERSECURITY.

 

Cybersecurity risk management is an integral part of our overall enterprise risk management program. The Company manages cybersecurity and data protection through a continuously evolving program. Our cybersecurity risk management program is designed to provide a framework for assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity threats and incidents, including threats and incidents associated with the use of services provided by third-party service providers, and to facilitate coordination across different departments of our Company. Our processes include steps for assessing the severity of a cybersecurity threat, identifying the source of a cybersecurity threat, including whether the cybersecurity threat is associated with a third-party service provider, and implementing cybersecurity countermeasures and mitigation strategies and informing management and the board of directors of material cybersecurity threats and incidents.

 

The Board of Directors has oversight for the most significant risks facing us and for our processes to identify, prioritize, assess, manage and mitigate those risks. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) has been designated to oversee cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee receives regular updates on cybersecurity and information technology matters and related risk exposures from our management. The Board of Directors also receives periodic updates from management and the Audit Committee on  cybersecurity risks. Management is responsible for identifying, considering and assessing material cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis, establishing processes designed to ensure that such potential cybersecurity risk exposures are monitored, putting in place mitigation measures and maintaining cybersecurity programs. Our cybersecurity programs are under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer. Management regularly updates the Audit Committee on our cybersecurity programs, which includes cybersecurity risks and mitigation strategies, vulnerability management, and on-going cybersecurity projects.

 

As of September 30, 2024, we did not identify any cybersecurity incidents that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, despite our efforts, we cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats or provide assurances that we have not experienced an undetected cybersecurity incident. It is possible that we may not implement appropriate controls if we do not detect a particular risk. In addition, security controls, no matter how well designed or implemented, may only mitigate and not fully eliminate the risks. Even when a risk is detected, disruptive events may not always be immediately and thoroughly interpreted and acted upon.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

 

We apply the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” to all of our stock-based compensation awards and use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options. The fair value of each share option award on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes method based on the following weighted average assumptions: The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of options award; the expected term represents awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving considerations vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the dividend yield is based upon the company’s dividend rate at the time fair value is measure and future expectations. Under this application, we record compensation expense for all awards granted.

 

In July of 2020, the Board of Directors adopted the 2020 Franklin Wireless Corp. Stock Option Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which covers 800,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to our employees, directors, and independent contractors. These options will have such vesting or other provisions as may be established by the Board of Directors at the time of each grant.

 

The estimated forfeiture rate considers historical turnover rates stratified into employee pools in comparison with an overall employee turnover rate, as well as expectations about the future. We periodically revise the estimated forfeiture rate in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. There were $87,384 and $51,589 compensation expenses recorded under this method for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary with a majority voting interest of approximately 66.3% (approximately 33.7% is owned by non-controlling interests) as of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of the subsidiary applicable to non-controlling interests.

 

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts on the prior period’s consolidated financial statements were regrouped and reclassified to conform to current-year presentation, with no effect on total stockholders’ equity.

 

Non-controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary

Non-controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary

 

Noncontrolling interests represent approximately 33.7% equity interests in FTI held by minority shareholders as of the reporting dates. As of September 30, 2024, the non-controlling interest was $1,405,537, which represents a $176,593 increase from $1,228,944 as of June 30, 2024. The increase of $176,593 in the non-controlling interest consists of $133,469 from income in the subsidiary of $396,552 and $43,124 from foreign exchange translation incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2024. 

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility. We have one reportable segment, consisting of the sale of wireless access products.

 

We generate revenue from two geographic areas, consisting of North America and Asia. The following enterprise-wide disclosure is prepared on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following table contains certain financial information by geographic area:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity, associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities are as follows:

 

    · Level 1 – Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
       
    · Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
       
    · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be directly corroborated by observable market data and that typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate the related fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. We invest our excess cash into financial instruments which are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds and certificates of deposit

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

On July 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held to maturity debt securities. It also applies to Off-Balance Sheet (“OBS”) credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments and leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. Upon adoption of ASC 326 and based upon our review of our collection history as well as the current balances associated with all significant customers and associated invoices, as of September 30, 2024, we did not record any reserve for unfunded commitments and doubtful accounts.

 

Cash Flows Reporting

Cash Flows Reporting

 

We follow ASC 230, Statements of Cash Flows, for cash flows reporting, which classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category. We use the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and all items that are included in net income (loss) that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.

 

Related Parties

Related Parties

 

We follow ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of our management and policies of the Company. (Refer to NOTE 9–RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS)

 

Foreign Currency Translations

Foreign Currency Translations

 

We have a majority-owned subsidiary in a foreign country, South Korea. Fluctuations in foreign currency impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, earnings and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiary upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. Dollars for, and as of the end of, each reporting period. In particular, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar generally will reduce the reported amount of our foreign-denominated cash, cash equivalents, total revenues and total expense that we translate into U.S. Dollars and report in our consolidated financial statements for, and as of the end of, each reporting period. However, a majority of our consolidated revenue is denominated in U.S. Dollars, and therefore, our revenue is not directly subject to foreign currency risk.

 

In accordance with ASC 830, when an operation has transactions denominated in a currency other than its functional currency, they are measured in the functional currency. Changes in the expected functional currency cash flows caused by changes in exchange rates are included in net income (loss) for the period.

 

Leases

Leases

 

In accordance with ASC 842, we determine whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease is a contract that provides the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For identified leases, we determine whether it should be classified as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are recorded in the balance sheet as right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and operating lease obligation. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payment arising from the lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease and measure based on the present value of lease payment over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes deferred rent liabilities. Our lease arrangement generally does not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, in such situations, we use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option in the measurement of its ROU assts and liabilities.

 

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for its revenue according to ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, pursuant to which, revenue is recognized when the control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, and the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Contracts with Customers

 

Revenue from sales of products and services is derived from contracts with customers. The products and services promised in contracts primarily consist of hotspot routers. Contracts with each customer generally state the terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service. Payment terms are stated in the contract, primarily in the form of a purchase order. Since the customer typically agrees to a stated rate and price in the purchase order that does not vary over the life of the contract, the majority of our contracts do not contain variable consideration. We establish a provision for estimated warranty and returns. Using historical averages, those provisions for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were not material.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

In accordance with Topic 606, we disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories meets the disclosure objective in Topic 606, which is to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by regional economic factors.

 

Contract Balances

 

We perform our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products in exchange for consideration from the customer. We typically invoice our customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred, and a receivable is established. We, however, recognize a contract liability when a customer prepays for goods and/or services, or we have not delivered goods under the contract since we have not yet transferred control of the goods and/or services.

 

The balances of our trade receivables are as follows:

           
    September 30, 2024     June 30, 2024  
Accounts Receivable   $ 1,800,202     $ 1,155,060  

 

The balance of contract assets was immaterial as we did not have a significant amount of un-invoiced receivables in the periods ended September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024.

 

Our contract liabilities are as follows:

           
    September 30, 2024     June 30, 2024  
Undelivered products   $ 170,351     $ 158,771  

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of measurement in Topic 606. At contract inception, we assess the products and services promised in our contracts with customers. We then identify performance obligations to transfer distinct products or services to the customer. In order to identify performance obligations, we consider all the products or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

 

Our performance obligations are primarily satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from products transferred to customers at a single point in time accounted for 99.9% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Revenue recognized over a period of time for non-recurring engineering projects is based on the percent complete of a project and accounted for 0.1% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The majority of our revenue recognized at a point in time is for the sale of hotspot router products. Revenue from these contracts is recognized when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the product, which generally coincides with title transfer at completion of the shipping process.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, our contracts do not contain any unsatisfied performance obligations, except for undelivered products.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold

 

All costs associated with our contract manufacturers, as well as distribution, fulfillment and repair services, are included in our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold also includes amortization expenses of approximately $245,233 and $239,624 associated with capitalized product development costs associated with complete technology for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Capitalized Product Development Costs

Capitalized Product Development Costs

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” includes software that is part of a product or process to be sold to a customer and is accounted for under Subtopic 985-20. Our products contain embedded software internally developed by FTI, which is an integral part of these products because it allows the various components of the products to communicate with each other and the products are clearly unable to function without this coding.

 

The costs of product development that are capitalized once technological feasibility is determined (noted as technology in progress in the Intangible Assets table in NOTE 4-INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET) include related licenses, certification costs, payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. We determine that technological feasibility for our products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved. Once the products are available for general release to our customers, we cease capitalizing the product development costs and any additional costs, if any, are expensed. The capitalized product development costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line amortization. The amortization begins when the products are available for general release to our customers.

 

As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, capitalized product development costs in progress were $14,000 and $0, respectively, and are included in intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $14,000 and $22,500, respectively, in capitalized product development costs, and such amounts are primarily comprised of certifications and licenses. All costs incurred before technological feasibility is reached are expensed and included in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

 

Costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were $1,024,312 and $866,955 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Warranties

Warranties

 

We provide a warranty for a period of twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months, which is covered by our vendors and manufacturers under purchase agreements between the Company and the vendors. As a result, we believe we do not have any net warranty exposure and do not accrue any warranty expenses. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material net warranty expenditures.

  

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Costs associated with product shipping and handling are expensed as incurred.  Shipping and handling costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), were $78,113 and $52,450 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We invest our excess cash into financial instruments which management believes are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds that are readily convertible to cash and have a $1.00 net asset value.

 

Short Term Investments

Short Term Investments

 

We have invested excess funds in short-term liquid assets, such as certificates of deposit and government bonds, etc.

 

Inventories, Net

Inventories, Net

 

Our inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. We assess the inventory carrying value and reduce it, if necessary, to its net realizable value based on customer orders on hand, and internal demand forecasts using management’s best estimates given information currently available. Our customer demand is highly unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly caused by factors beyond the control of the Company. We may write down our inventory value for potential obsolescence and excess inventory. As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, we have recorded inventory reserves in the amount of $91,482 for obsolete or slow-moving inventory.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

   
Machinery   6 years
Office equipment   5 years
Molds   3~6 years
Vehicles   5 years
Computers and software   5 years
Furniture and fixtures   7 years
Facilities improvements   5 years or life of the lease, whichever is shorter

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and certain intangible assets were recorded in connection with the FTI acquisition in October 2009, and were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired. Intangible assets are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and any related impairment losses are recognized in earnings when identified. No impairment was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

  

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” we review for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. We consider the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable based upon our review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the assets; significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount.

 

As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, we were not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.

 

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

 

We account for stock options and other equity-based compensation issued in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of equity-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all share-based compensation payments granted to employees and non-employees, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employees’ requisite service period or the non-employees’ performance period based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provision of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported.

  

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, unless it is more likely than not such assets will be realized. Current income taxes are based on the year’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes and the annual change in deferred taxes.

 

We assess income tax positions and record tax benefits based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the financial statements. We classify interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

 

As of September 30, 2024, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. We recorded income tax provisions of $47,880 and benefits of $50,060 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We also recorded a decrease in deferred tax asset, non-current, of $47,880, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and an increase in deferred tax asset, non-current, of $50,860 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Earnings (loss) per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Earnings (loss) per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

In accordance with ASC 260, basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares that were outstanding for the period, without considering any potential future issuance of common shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method or the as-converted method. Potentially dilutive shares are comprised of common stock options outstanding under our stock plan. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is nondilutive. Nondilutive shares are not taken into account while computation of weighted average number of shares for dilutive EPS calculation.

  

Concentrations

Concentrations

 

We extend credit to our customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations of such customers. We evaluate our accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectability and provide for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.  No reserve was required or recorded for any of the periods presented.

 

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from sales of wireless data products. Any significant decline in market acceptance of our products or in the financial condition of our existing customers could impair our ability to operate effectively.

 

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, sales to our two largest customers accounted for 93.6% of our consolidated net sales, and 71.2% of our accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, sales to our two largest customers accounted for approximately 90.6% of our consolidated net sales, and approximately 97.8% of our accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2023. No other customers accounted for more than ten percent of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased the majority of our wireless data products from two manufacturing companies located in Asia. If these manufacturing companies were to experience delays, capacity constraints or quality control problems, product shipments to our customers could be delayed, or our customers could consequently elect to cancel the underlying product purchase order, which would negatively impact the Company's revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased wireless data products from these manufacturers in the amount of $11,653,180, or 99.9% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $10,186,585 as of September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased wireless data products from these manufacturers in the amount of $6,361,553, or 99.8% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $6,917,202 as of September 30, 2023.

 

We maintain our cash accounts with established commercial banks. Such cash deposits exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of $250,000 for each financial institution.  However, we do not anticipate any losses on excess deposits.
