FRANKLIN WIRELESS CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Franklin Wireless Corp. (“the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the financial statements included herein contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. These financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on September 28, 2018. The operating results or cash flows for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a provider of intelligent wireless solutions including mobile hotspots, routers and modems as well as innovative hardware and software products that support machine-to-machine (M2M) applications and the Internet of Things (IoT). Our M2M and IoT solutions include embedded modules, modems and gateways built to deliver reliable always-on connectivity supporting a broad spectrum of applications. These products are designed to solve wireless connectivity challenges in a variety of vertical markets including video surveillance, digital signage, home security, oil and gas exploration, kiosks, fleet management, smart grid, vehicle diagnostics, telematics and many more.

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

Our products are generally marketed and sold directly to wireless operators, and indirectly through strategic partners and distributors. Our global customer base extends primarily from the United States to countries in South America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary with a majority voting interest of 64.2% (35.8% is owned by non-controlling interests) as of March 31, 2019 and 51.8% (48.2% is owned by non-controlling interests) as of June 30, 2018. 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. The increase in the majority voting interest in percentage from 51.8% to 64.2% for the six months ended March 31, 2019 was due to the purchase of an additional 246,663 shares of the subsidiary, at $0.95 per share by the parent company from three shareholders of the subsidiary.

Non-controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary

As of March 31, 2019, the non-controlling interest was $523,935, which represents a $397,075 decrease from $921,010 as of June 30, 2018.

The decrease in the non-controlling interest of $397,075 was comprised of two components (1) losses in the subsidiary of $162,745 incurred during the nine month period March 31, 2019 and (2) a reduction in the ownership percentage of the non-controlling interests due to the repurchase by the Company of 246,663 shares of the subsidiary for $234,330 ($0.95 per share) from three non-controlling shareholders. This decreased the non-controlling interests’ ownership percentage from 48.2% to 35.8%.

Segment Reporting

Public companies are required 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 revenues from four geographic areas, consisting of the United States and Canada, the Caribbean and South America, EMEA 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				Nine Months Ended
	March 31,				March 31,
Net sales:	2019		2018		2019		2018
United States and Canada	$	8,898,775	$	6,414,074	$	31,234,107	$	21,813,370

Totals	$	8,966,140	$	6,565,442	$	31,480,832	$	22,562,054

Long-lived assets, net (property and equipment and intangible assets):	March 31, 2019		June 30, 2018
United States	$	927,894	$	1,073,640
Asia		34,336		47,140
Totals	$	962,230	$	1,120,780

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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. We invest our excess cash into financial instruments which management believes are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds and certificates of deposit.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Based upon our review of our collection history as well as the current balances associated with all significant customers and associated invoices, we do not believe an allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

Revenue Recognition

On July 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed or substantially complete as of June 30, 2018. Results for the reporting period beginning after June 30, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. We recorded no change in retained earnings as of July 1, 2018 as a result of the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606.

Contracts with Customers

Revenue for sales of products and services is derived from contracts with customers. The products and services promised in contracts primarily consist of hot spot 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, that provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was 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 receivables are as follows:

		March 31, 2019				June 30, 2018
Accounts Receivable		$	7,939,002			$	7,907,117

The balance of contract assets was immaterial as we did not have a significant amount of un-invoiced receivables in the periods ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

Our contract liabilities are as follows:

	March 31, 2019		June 30, 2018
Advance payments from customers	$	71,460	$	228,598
Undelivered products		140,000		140,000
Totals	$	211,460	$	368,593

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 satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from products transferred to customers at a single point in time accounted for 97.4% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 99.3% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Revenue for non-recurring engineering projects is based on the percent complete of a project and accounted for 2.6% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 0.7% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The majority of our revenue recognized at a point in time is for the sale of hot-spot 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 March 31, 2019, 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 expense associated with capitalized product development costs associated with complete technology.

Capitalized Product Development Costs

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) include certifications, licenses, 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 greater of straight-line amortization or the ratio of the current gross revenues to the current and anticipated future gross revenues. The amortization begins when the products are available for general release to our customers.

As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, capitalized product development costs in progress were $268,910 and $100,000, respectively, and these amounts are included in intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred $104,505 and $168,910, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $66,901 and $291,386, 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 $714,092 and $744,794 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2,186,755 and $2,641,526 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Warranties

We provide a warranty for one year 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 $262,596 and $177,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $978,275 and $560,458 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 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.

Inventories

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 March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, we have recorded an inventory reserve in the amounts of $293,888 and $295,502, respectively, for inventories that we have identified as obsolete or slow-moving.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. 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 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 are 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 for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

The definite lived intangible assets consisted of the following as of March 31, 2019:

Definite lived intangible assets:	Expected Life	Average Remaining life	Gross Intangible Assets		Accumulated Amortization		Net Intangible Assets
Complete technology	3 years	3.0 years	$	18,397	$	-	$	18,397

Certifications & licenses	3 years	0.8 years		3,270,474		2,818,071		452,403
Total as of March 31, 2019			$	3,939,982	$	3,093,144	$	846,838

The definite lived intangible assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2018:

Definite lived intangible assets:	Expected Life	Average Remaining life		Gross Intangible Assets		Accumulated Amortization		Net Intangible Assets
Complete technology	3 years		3.0 years	$	18,397	$	–	$	18,397

Certifications & licenses	3 years		1.4 years		3,250,061		2,508,266		741,795
Total as of June 30, 2018				$	3,750,144	$	2,753,436	$	996,708

Amortization expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $93,777 and $116,788 respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $339,708 and $363,140, respectively.

Long-lived Assets

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 asset; 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 March 31, 2019, we are not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company’s employee share-based awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on an award’s grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Transactions with non-employees in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty's performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. Stock-based compensation costs are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) based upon the underlying recipients' roles within the Company.

Income Taxes

The Company uses 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.

The Company assesses its income tax positions and records 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, the Company records 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. The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

As of March 31, 2019, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. We recorded an income tax benefit of $108,244 and $185,284 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and an increase in deferred tax asset, non-current, of $108,251 and $186,126 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Act includes a provision to reduce the federal corporate income tax rate to a flat 21% effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. ASC 740 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are to be measured at the enacted rate, which is expected to apply when the related temporary differences are to be realized or settled, and the related tax impact is recognized through continuing operations in the period in which tax legislation is enacted. Accordingly, the Company remeasured its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017, resulting in an approximate $400,000 decrease, which was included as a component of the income tax provision recognized for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

Additionally, the Act requires under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 965 a deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign earnings. Under the provision, U.S. taxpayers are subject to a special tax on previously untaxed foreign income held in the foreign subsidiaries. The Company performed an internal analysis and concluded that its foreign subsidiary has no earning and profits with respect to the IRC Section 954 tax to be recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Earnings per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares that were outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income 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.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2019, sales to our two largest customers accounted for 57% and 23% of our consolidated net sales, and 70% and 22% of our accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2019. In the same period in 2018, sales to our three largest customers accounted for 55%, 19% and 12% of our consolidated net sales, and 58%, 34% and 0% of our accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2018. No other customers accounted for more than ten percent of total net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and no other customers accounted for more than ten percent of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2019 and 2018.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, 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 nine months ended March 31, 2019, we purchased wireless data products from these two manufacturers in the amount of $24,768,764, or 98% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $6,073,444 as of March 31, 2019. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, we purchased wireless data products from these manufacturers in the amount of $14,004,980, or 89% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $4,133,501 as of March 31, 2018.

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 March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which amends existing standards for leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about such arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us beginning in our first quarter of fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard on our consolidated financial statements and the timing and presentation of our adoption.

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) (ASU 2018-02), which amends existing standards for income statement-reporting comprehensive income to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statements users. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for us beginning in our first quarter of fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect that the adoption of this update will materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Other accrued liabilities		11,364		25,987
Total	$	242,857	$	259,348

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share represent basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, we were in a net loss position and have excluded 299,000 stock options from the calculation of diluted net loss per shares because these securities are anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute loss per share is as follows:

	Three Months ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Net loss attributable to Parent Company	$	(157,814	)	$	(140,722	)	$	(494,459	)	$	(1,309,024	)

Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding:

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

We lease approximately 12,775 square feet of office space in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $23,115, pursuant to a lease that expires in October 2019. 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. Rent expense for this office space was $69,345 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and $208,035 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Our Korea-based subsidiary, FTI, leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $8,000. The lease expires on September 1, 2019. Beginning on June 12, 2015, FTI leased additional office space consisting of approximately 2,682 square feet, also located in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $2,700, and the lease expires on September 1, 2019. In addition to monthly rent, the lease provides 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 $32,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and approximately $96,300 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

We lease one corporate housing facility primarily for our employees who travel, under a non-cancelable operating lease that expires on September 4, 2019. Rent expense related to this lease was approximately $2,535 and $2,664 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and approximately $7,626 and $7,158 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Other Contingencies

Due to a cancelled purchase commitment by a significant customer, the Company has received a request for payment from a significant vendor in the amount of $2.9M for components purchased to fulfill that customer’s order. The Company has also requested payment of $2.9M for those components from the above-mentioned customer. We intend to remit payment to the vendor once the amounts are received from the customer. We have received assurances from the customer that we will be paid for this cancelled purchase commitment and we also have in place personal guarantees from the owners/principals of this customer. The vendor may be able to repurpose certain parts purchased into other orders we have placed or will place in the future. The company has made a pre-payment of $100,000 for future orders. The Company has also agreed to a temporary price increase of $1.00 per unit for current products to apply toward future orders. These amounts will be credited back to the Company upon consuming the components. No products have been transferred to us and there have been no revenue generating events relating to this situation. All parties are working towards a resolution as soon as possible, however, at this time material unresolved contingencies remain. Since it is not known at this time the exact amount that ultimately will be collected from the customer to be remitted to the vendor, the Company has not recorded these amounts into either Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable.

Litigation

We are from time to time involved in certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have any material adverse effect on the Company.

Change of Control Agreements

On September 21, 2009, we entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President, and Yun J. (David) Lee, our 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.

The Board of Directors has approved extension of the Change of Control Agreements with Mr. Kim and Mr. Lee through September 30, 2021.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

We adopted the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) on June 11, 2009, which provided for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to our employees and directors. Options granted under the 2009 Plan generally have a term of ten years and generally vest and become exercisable at the rate of 33% after one year and 33% on the second and third anniversaries of the option grant dates. Historically, some stock option grants have included shorter vesting periods ranging from one to two years.

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 was no compensation expense recorded under this method for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

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, 2018, filed on September 28, 2018. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We have a majority ownership position in FTI, a research and development company located in Seoul, South Korea. FTI primarily provides design and development services to us for our wireless products.

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, and (5) our ability to meet customers’ demands.

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.

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, 2018, 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 nine months ended March 31, 2019.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018

NET SALES - Net sales increased by $2,400,698, or 36.6%, to $8,966,140 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $6,565,442 for the corresponding period of 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of the United States and Canada, South America and the Caribbean, EMEA and Asia, were $8,898,775 (99.2% of net sales), $0 (0.0% of net sales), $63,347 (0.7% of net sales) and $4,018 (0.1% of net sales), respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of the United States and Canada, South America and the Caribbean, EMEA and Asia, were $6,414,074 (97.7% of net sales), $0 (0.0% of net sales), $138,799 (2.1% of net sales) and $12,569 (0.2% of net sales), respectively.

Net sales in the United States and Canada increased by $2,484,701, or 38.7%, to $8,898,775 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $6,414,074 for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the average of 31% increased product demand from two major carrier customers because of the offer of a variety of products compared to the corresponding period of 2018. Net sales in the South American and Caribbean regions had no sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net sales in EMEA decreased by $75,452, or 54.4%, to $63,347 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $138,799 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease in net sales was due to timing of orders placed by a carrier customer in Africa. Net sales in Asia decreased by $8,551, or 68.0%, to $4,018 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $12,569 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower product and component sales generated by FTI, which typically vary from period to period.

GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased by $151,256, or 10.5%, to $1,595,105 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $1,443,849 for the corresponding period of 2018. The gross profit in terms of net sales percentage was 17.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 22.0% for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the change in net sales as described above. The decrease in gross profit in terms of net sales percentage was primarily due to variations in customer and product mix, competitive selling prices and product costs which generally vary from period to period and region to region.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased by $113,859, or 6.1%, to $1,982,766 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $1,868,907 for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the higher shipping and handling costs resulting from the increased volume of product shipments.

OTHER INCOME (LOSS), NET - Other income (loss), net decreased by $1,997, or 3.7%, to $51,905 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $53,902 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease in other income (loss), net was primarily due to the expired and ceased product development funding received by FTI from a government entity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the corresponding period of 2018, which is largely offset by the increased interest income earned from the newly opened money market account and the certificate of deposit account.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018

NET SALES - Net sales increased by $8,918,778, or 39.5%, to $31,480,832 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $22,562,054 for the corresponding period of 2018. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of the United States and Canada, South America and the Caribbean, EMEA and Asia, were $31,234,107 (99.2% of net sales), $0 (0.0% of net sales), $224,427 (0.7% of net sales) and $22,298 (0.1% of net sales), respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of the United States and Canada, South America and the Caribbean, EMEA and Asia, were $21,813,370 (96.7% of net sales), $234,970 (1.0% of net sales), $333,021 (1.5% of net sales) and $180,693 (0.8% of net sales), respectively.

Net sales in the United States and Canada increased by $9,420,737, or 46.2%, to $31,234,107 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $21,813,370 for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the average of 54% increased product demand from two major carrier customers, which was added by the favorable effect of the sales that fluctuate significantly from period to period due to timing of orders placed by several customers. Net sales in the South American and Caribbean regions decreased by $234,970, 100%, to $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $234,970 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the general nature of sales in these regions, which often fluctuate significantly from period to period due to timing of orders placed by a relatively small number of customers. Net sales in EMEA decreased by $108,594, or 32.6%, to $224,427 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $333,021 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease in net sales was due to the discontinued orders of a product placed by a carrier customer in Africa, which is partially offset by the orders placed by a new carrier customer in Africa. Net sales in Asia decreased by $158,395, or 87.7%, to $22,298 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $180,693 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower product and component sales generated by FTI, which typically vary from period to period.

GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased by $766,474, or 17.9%, to $5,049,388 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $4,282,914 for the corresponding period of 2018. The gross profit in terms of net sales percentage was 16.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 19.0% for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the change in net sales as described above. The decrease in gross profit in terms of net sales percentage was primarily due to variations in customer and product mix, competitive selling prices and product costs which generally vary from period to period and region to region.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased by $192,070, or 3.3%, to $6,036,051 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $5,843,981 for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the higher shipping and handling costs resulting from the increased volume of product shipments.

OTHER INCOME (LOSS), NET - Other income (loss), net increased by $45,897, or 46.7%, to $144,175 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $98,278 for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in other income (loss), net was primarily due to the higher interest income earned from the newly opened money market account and the certificate of deposit account as well as the decreased unfavorable effect in foreign currency exchange rates that occurred in FTI, which is partially offset by the decreased product development funding received by FTI from a government entity for nine months ended March 31, 2019.

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 March 31, 2019 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $10,763,321. 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 used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $717,026 and $2,003,255, respectively.

The $717,026 in net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable and advance payments from customers of $969,177 and $157,138, respectively, as well as our operating results (net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges), which were partially offset by the decreases in inventories of $844,090.

The $2,003,255 in net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable of $7,717,278 as well as our operating results (net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges), which were partially offset by the decreases in accounts receivable and inventories of $4,777,182 and $2,022,713, respectively.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES - Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $487,947 and $351,704, respectively.

The $487,947 in net cash used in investing activities for nine months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to the payments for purchase of additional shares of the subsidiary of $234,330 as well as the purchase of capitalized product development of $168,910. The $351,704 in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the payments for capitalized product development of $291,386 as well as the purchases of intangible assets of $38,520.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES - Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0 and $67,000, respectively, which was due to the cash received from the exercise of stock options for the nine months ended March 31,2018.
