ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of OC Kim, our President, and Reid Granados, our Acting Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President and the Acting Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial and accounting officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. To evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management conducted an assessment, using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, (specifically the 2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its assessment, management concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. 20 Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

(David) Lee, our Senior Vice President of Sales who 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 with 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. Incentive bonuses of $500,000 have been accrued for each of the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, resulting in accrued bonus balances of $1,375,000 and $875,000 as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, no payment for the accrued bonuses has been made by the Company. 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 September 23, 2024, the Board acknowledged that OC Kim, its President, had earned an incentive bonus of $1,250,000 for negotiating and securing a joint venture agreement with its EMS partner. The Company and Mr. Kim also entered into a Forbearance Agreement on 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. On January 16, 2025, we accrued the deferred incentive bonus of $1,250,000 to OC Kim, our President, and recognized a receivable for the deferred $1,000,000 settlement amount owed by Mr. Kim to the Company. As of June 30, 2025, no payment for the accrued bonus has been made to Mr. Kim by the Company, and the receivable of $1,000,000 from Mr. Kim was partially settled through the May 8, 2025 option repurchase transaction, in which the $337,404 net proceeds otherwise payable to Mr. Kim were applied against the receivable. This leaves a remaining settlement balance of $662,596 owed by Mr. Kim as of June 30, 2025. 27 COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GENERAL PHILOSOPHY - We compensate our executive officers through a mix of base salary, incentive compensation and stock options. Our compensation policies are designed to be competitive with comparable employers and to align management’s incentives with both near-term and long-term interests of our stockholders. We use informal methods of benchmarking our executive compensation, based on the experience of our directors or, in some cases, studies of industry standards. Our compensation is negotiated on a case by case basis, with attention being given to the amount of compensation necessary to make a competitive offer and the relative compensation among our executive officers. BASE SALARIES – We want to provide our senior management with a level of cash compensation in the form of base salary that facilitates an appropriate lifestyle given their professional status and accomplishments. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION – Our practice is to award cash bonuses based upon performance objectives set by the Board of Directors. We maintain a bonus plan which provides our executive officers with the opportunity to earn cash bonuses based on the achievement of performance targets. The performance targets are set by the Board of Directors, and our executive officers are eligible to receive bonuses on a quarterly basis. The actual amount of incentive compensation paid to our executive officers is in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. SEVERANCE BENEFITS – We are generally an “at-will” employer and have no employment agreements with severance benefits; however, we have entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim & David Lee, and a severance agreement with OC Kim that provides him with a lump sum payment in the event he leaves the Company. RETIREMENT PLANS – In January 2022, we implemented the CalSavers retirement program, an automatic enrollment individual retirement account (IRA). The program is a voluntary participation program, and all employees have the option to participate in this program if they choose to do so. MANDATORY RECOUPMENT POLICY – The Company maintains a Mandatory Recoupment Policy to enable the Company to recover erroneously awarded compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024 Page No. Index to Consolidated Financial Statements F-1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID# 2485 ) F-2 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 F-4 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the Years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 F-5 Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity for the Years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 F-6 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 F-7 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements F-8 F- 1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Shareholders and Board of Directors Franklin Wireless Corp. San Diego, CA Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Franklin Wireless Corp. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Legal Proceedings As described in Note 6, the Company has been involved in multiple legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including shareholder litigation and short-swing profit litigation. Management records liabilities for legal proceedings in instances where it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss and when loss is probable. F- 2 We identified the legal proceedings as a critical audit matter because auditing these elements involved a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s assessment of the liabilities and disclosures associated with multiple legal proceedings. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: · Reviewed all ongoing legal claims and settled claims along with the supporting documents, including assessing the status of each case, the likely outcome, and potential financial exposure. · Obtained the legal confirmations per our audit inquiries with external legal counsels, evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assessment regarding whether an unfavorable outcome is remote, reasonably possible or probable and reasonably estimable. · Reviewed the Company's recorded provisions for legal contingencies to determine if they accurately reflect potential liabilities. · Verified the gain from legal compensation recorded with the settlement agreement entered and payment received. · Ensured that the Company’s disclosures related to legal proceedings in the consolidated financial statements comply with applicable accounting and disclosure standards. /s/ Simon & Edward, LLP We have served as the Company's auditor since 2024.

NOTE 2 - 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 As of June 30, 2025, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Franklin Technology Inc. (“FTI”) and Sigbeat Inc. (“Sigbeat”), with majority voting interests of approximately 66.3 % and 60 .0%, respectively, (approximately 33.7 % and 40.0 % are owned by noncontrolling interests, respectively). As of June 30, 2024, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, FTI, with a majority voting interest of 66.3 % (approximately 33.7 % is owned by noncontrolling interests). In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings (loss) are reduced by the portion of the net earnings (loss) of the subsidiary or subsidiaries applicable to noncontrolling interests. On May 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement for Formation of a Joint Venture Corporation (the “Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the parties formed a Nevada corporation, Sigbeat, to be owned 60 % by Franklin and 40% by its Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) partner, Forge International Co., Ltd. (“Forge”). The parties shall contribute a total of $ 5,000,000 in capital, in accordance with their respective ownership interest percentages. Under the terms of the Agreement, Sigbeat has a Board of Directors consisting of three members, of whom two are to be appointed by the Company and one appointed by Forge. Sigbeat will engage in worldwide sales, marketing, customer support and operations for telecommunications modules under such brands or designations as the Board of Directors of Sigbeat determine. Pursuant to the Agreement, in July 2024, Sigbeat entered into a stock subscription agreement with Forge to purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 40% of the total outstanding Common Stock of Sigbeat. On December 23, 2024, and January 9, 2025, the Company contributed $ 600,000 and $ 2,400,000 for Common Stock, respectively, and, on January 16, 2025, Forge contributed $ 2,000,000 for Common Stock. 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. F- 8 Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary As of June 30, 2025, the non-controlling interest was $ 3,349,861 , which represents a $ 2,120,917 increase from $ 1,228,944 as of June 30, 2024. The increase of $ 2,120,917 in the non-controlling interest consists of a $ 97,315 increase in FTI and a $ 2,023,602 increase in Sigbeat. The $97,315 increase in FTI reflects $79,070 attributable to non-controlling interest from net income of $234,927 and $18,245 from foreign currency translation adjustments for the year ended June 30, 2025. The $2,023,602 increase in Sigbeat reflects $23,602 attributable to non-controlling interest from net income of $59,005 for the year ended June 30, 2025, and $2,000,000 from Forge’s cash contribution in exchange for Common Stock. 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. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses performance for the segment and allocates resources based on the consolidated net income (loss) of the company. The CODM uses the consolidated net income (loss) to evaluate the return on assets in deciding on resource allocation, monitor performance against budgets, and benchmark performance against competitors. We generate revenues 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 and the reconciliation of total segment sales less disclosed significant expenses to the segment's measure of net income or loss.

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 June 30, 2025, and 2024, we recorded a reserve for doubtful accounts of $ 159,166 and $ 748 , respectively Cash Flows Reporting We follow ASC 230, Statements of Cash Flows, which requires that cash receipts and payments be classified as operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions for each category. We use the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by ASC 230. Under this method, net income is adjusted for the effects of non-cash transactions, deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts and payments, and items classified as investing or financing cash flows. F- 10 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 TRANSACTONS) 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 expenses 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, transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency. Resulting foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net income (loss) in the period in which they occur. 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 measured based on the present value of lease payment over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes deferred rent liabilities. Our lease arrangements generally do not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, in such situations, we use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the 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 to which the entity expects to be entitled 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. F- 11 Contracts with Customers Revenue from sales of products and services is derived from contracts with customers. The products and services covered by 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, provisions for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, 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. However, we recognize contract liability when a customer prepays for goods and/or services, or when 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: Schedule of trade receivables June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 Accounts Receivable, net $ 1,330,504 $ 1,155,060 We did not have any un-invoiced receivables for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Our contract liabilities are as follows: Schedule of contract liabilities June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 Undelivered products $ 125,300 $ 158,771 Accrued marketing development funds 673,205 – Totals $ 798,505 $ 158,771 Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good and/or service to the customer and is the unit of measurement in Topic 606. At contract inception, we assess the products and/or services promised in our contracts with customers. We then identify performance obligations to transfer distinct products and/or services to the customer. 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 99.2 % and 98.8 % of net sales for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Revenue recognized over a period of time is based on the percent completion of a project and accounted for under 1.0 % and 1.2 % of net sales for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 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. F- 12 As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 $ 790,000 and $ 970,000 related to capitalized product development costs associated with completed technology for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, 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 shall be 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 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) 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 straight-line amortization. The amortization begins when the products are available for general release to our customers. As of June 30, 2025, and 2024, capitalized product development costs in progress were $ 452,676 and $ 0 , respectively, and these amounts are included in intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $ 520,202 and $ 123,359 , respectively in capitalized product development costs, and 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 $ 4,102,660 and $ 3,406,750 for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, 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 statements of comprehensive income, were $ 276,311 and $ 163,138 for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. F- 13 Cash and Cash Equivalents For the 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. Short Term Investments We have invested excess funds in short-term liquid assets, such as certificates of deposit or money market funds. 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 Company’s control. We may write down our inventory value for potential obsolescence and excess inventory. For the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, we recorded reserve allowances of $ 63,846 and $ 16,934 , respectively, for inventories we have identified as obsolete or slow-moving. As of June 30, 2025, the reserve balance for slow-moving inventories was $ 11,114 , following a $ 144,214 write-down of our inventory's value due to obsolescence. As of June 30, 2024, the reserve balance was $ 91,482 with no write-down of our inventory’s value due to obsolescence. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs of an expense nature are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows: Schedule of estimated useful lives 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 years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024. F- 14 Intangible Assets, Net The definite lived intangible assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2025: Schedule of definite lived intangible assets Definite lived intangible assets: Expected Life Average Remaining life Gross Intangible Assets Less Accumulated Amortization Net Intangible Assets Technology in progress Not Applicable – 452,676 – 452,676 Software 5 years 0.9 years 448,922 355,600 93,322 Patents 10 years 6.0 years 79,519 31,679 47,840 Certifications & licenses 3 years 1.3 years 3,166,828 2,746,554 420,274 Total as of June 30, 2025 $ 4,147,945 3,133,833 1,014,112 The definite lived intangible assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024: Definite lived intangible assets: Expected Life Average Remaining life Gross Intangible Assets Less Accumulated Amortization Net Intangible Assets Complete technology 3 years – 18,397 18,397 – Technology in progress Not Applicable – – – – Software 5 years 1.6 years 489,992 365,526 124,466 Patents 10 years 6.7 years 67,373 27,345 40,028 Certifications & licenses 3 years 1.4 years 3,924,007 2,778,875 1,145,132 Total as of June 30, 2024 $ 4,499,769 3,190,143 1,309,626 Amortization expense recognized for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $ 827,091 and $ 992,699 , respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2025, we disposed of fully amortized certifications and licenses of $ 824,706 and completed technology of $ 18,397 . For the year ended June 30, 2024, we disposed of fully amortized certifications and licenses of $ 86,884 and expensed technology in progress of $ 9,404 . The amortization expenses of the definite lived intangible assets for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: Schedule of amortization expenses of the definite lived intangible assets FY2026 FY2027 FY2028 FY2029 FY2030 Thereafter Total $ 431,600 $ 74,904 $ 37,249 $ 17,683 $ – $ – Impairment of Long-lived Assets In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” we review for impairment 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. We are not aware of any events or changes in circumstances during the year ended June 30, 2025, that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired. F- 15 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. (Loss) Earnings 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 (loss) earnings 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. 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 when computing the weighted average number of shares used in the dilutive EPS calculation. Concentrations of Credit Risk 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 an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. $ 158,400 reserve was recorded for the year ended June 30, 2025, and no reserve was required or recorded for the year ended June 30, 2024. 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 year ended June 30, 2025, net sales to our two largest customers represented approximately 61 % and 33 % of our consolidated net sales, respectively, and 34 % and 57 % of our accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2025. For the year ended June 30, 2024, net sales to our two largest customers represented approximately 68 % and 22 % of our consolidated net sales, respectively, and 0 % and 85 % of our accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2024. For the year ended June 30, 2025, we purchased the majority of our wireless data products from two manufacturing companies located in Asia. If they 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 our revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2025, we purchased wireless data products from two suppliers in the amount of $ 31,999,540 , or 85.3 % of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $ 5,641,183 , or 69.5 %, as of June 30, 2025. For the year ended June 30, 2024, we purchased wireless data products from two suppliers in the amount of $ 23,581,572 , or 98.9 % of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $ 6,263,385 , or 86.2 %, as of June 30, 2024. F- 16 We maintain our cash accounts with established commercial banks in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) and Korea. Such cash deposits exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of $250,000 and the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of approximately $ 37,000 for each financial institution located in the U.S. and Korea, respectively. We have approximately $ 28.3 million and $ 11.5 million in uninsured deposits in the U.S. and Korea, respectively, but 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 periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods 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. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03, “to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.” Entities within the ASU’s scope are permitted to early adopt the ASU. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted. NOTE 3 - ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued liabilities consist of the following as of: Schedule of accrued liabilities June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 Accrued payroll deductions owed to government entities $ 50,988 $ 49,452 Accrued bonuses to an officer (1) 2,625,000 875,000 Accrued salaries (2) 132,377 – Accrued vacation 174,108 164,884 Accrued commission for service providers 69,318 15,000 Accrued marketing development funds (3) (4) 673,205 247,592 Other accrued liabilities ( 5 ) 72,048 73,218 Total $ 3,797,044 $ 1,425,146 (1) 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 the payment of an incentive to Mr. Kim, of $125,000 for each calendar quarter during the remaining four-year term of the employment agreement, for an aggregate total of $2 million, with the first such bonus accrued on December 31, 2022. Incentive bonuses of $500,000 have been accrued for each of the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, resulting in accrued bonus balances of $1,375,000 and $875,000 as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, no payment for the accrued bonuses has been made by the Company. 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 which resulted in the organization of Sigbeat. 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. On January 16, 2025, there was a completed contribution for Common Stock of Sigbeat, and the Company accrued the deferred incentive bonus of $1,250,000 to Mr. Kim. As of June 30, 2025, no payment for the accrued has been made by the Company. F- 17 (2) The Company accrued regular salaries of $132,377 to employees for the payroll period ended June 30, 2025, and the payment of the accrued salaries was made by the Company on July 1, 2025. (3) The Company accrued a liability for marketing development funds owed to a customer of $673,205 to provide financial support for its marketing and promotion programs of our products for the year ended June 30, 2025. (4) The Company accrued a liability for marketing development funds owed to a customer of approximately $650,000 to provide financial support for its marketing and promotion programs during the 2021 fiscal year. Of the amount accrued, total payments were made of approximately $400,000 in the form of credit memos. The remaining balance of approximately $250,000 as of June 30, 2024, was eliminated/written-off as of September 30, 2024 because it was confirmed that the liability no longer existed. (5) On or about December 7, 2023, the Company received an invoice from our prior landlord, Hunsaker & Associates, requesting payment of additional rent on its completed and expired lease of office space located at 9707 Waples Street, San Diego, CA as of December 31, 2023. This invoice of $142,978 purports to represent charges for variable cost increases during the prior 7 years of the lease, which was discounted by $46,274 and adjusted down to $96,704 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company is currently reviewing these charges and will be requesting further validation of these charges, in accordance with its rights granted under the lease. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an additional rent expense of $96,704 and an accrued liability of $72,048 reflecting this pending invoice and a credit of $24,656 for our deposit on the leasehold property. NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES Income tax benefit for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 consists of the following: Schedule of income tax benefit Years Ended June 30, 2025 2024 Current income tax (benefit) expense: Federal $ 33,736 $ 8,659 State 800 800 Foreign – – Total Current income tax expense (benefit) 34,536 9,459 Deferred income tax (benefit) expense: Federal 189,057 ( 891,455 ) State ( 123,770 ) 3,101 Foreign ( 144,990 ) ( 70,405 ) Total deferred income tax expense (benefit) ( 79,703 ) ( 958,759 ) Benefit for income taxes $ ( 45,167 ) $ ( 949,300 ) The income tax benefit reconciles to the amount computed by applying the effective federal statutory income tax rate to the income before provision for income taxes as follows: Schedule of effective federal statutory income tax rate to the income before provision for income taxes Years Ended June 30, 2025 2024 Federal income tax, at statutory rate of 21% applied to loss before income taxes and extraordinary items $ ( 50,519 ) $ ( 1,074,307 ) State tax, net of federal tax (benefit) expense ( 98,897 ) 2,535 Nondeductible expenses ( 17,146 ) 63,393 R&D credits ( 50,535 ) ( 46,945 ) Foreign rate difference 1,879 ( 13,450 ) Others 170,051 119,474 Benefit for income taxes $ ( 45,167 ) $ ( 949,300 ) F- 18 Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets are as follows: Schedule of deferred tax assets June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 Deferred tax asset: Net operating losses $ 952,166 $ 1,445,271 State tax 168 168 Lease accounting, net 2,529 2,457 Intangibles 1,768,558 1,330,679 Tax credits 255,598 227,706 Bad debt expense reserve 33,279 – Inventory reserve 8,430 19,236 Other, net 433,565 306,415 Total deferred tax assets 3,454,293 3,331,932 Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred state taxes ( 73,186 ) ( 47,193 ) Property and equipment, net 1,856 ( 80 ) Unrealized gain (loss) ( 109,341 ) ( 100,419 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 180,671 ) ( 147,692 ) Less valuation allowance – – Net deferred tax asset $ 3,273,622 $ 3,184,240 Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We have evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of our gross deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of forecasted future taxable income. Management determined it is more likely than not that the federal deferred tax assets will be fully realized, and no valuation allowance is necessary to record as of June 30, 2025, or 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we have federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 2.7 million and $ 0.7 million , respectively. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the federal net operating loss of approximately $ 2.7 million , which will carry forward indefinitely. The state net operating loss of approximately $ 0.7 million will begin to expire in 2043. The utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitations under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions. We apply the provisions of ASC 740 related to accounting for uncertain tax positions, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under this provision, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. Tax benefits of an uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained based on technical merits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits, which have been considered in the Company's computation of its deferred tax assets, is as follows: Schedule of deferred tax assets Balance as of June 30, 2023 $ 389,016 Gross increase 25,310 Balance as of June 30, 2024 414,326 Gross decrease ( 192,199 ) Balance as of June 30, 2025 $ 222,127 F- 19 We do not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months. ASC 740 requires us to accrue interest and penalties where there is an underpayment of taxes based on our best estimate of the amount ultimately to be paid. Our policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. We have not recorded any interest or penalties as the liability associated with the unrecognized tax benefits is immaterial. We are subject to taxation in the U.S., and various state and foreign jurisdictions. NOTE 5 – (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE We report (loss) earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic (loss) earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share represent basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options by using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from assumed option exercises are used to repurchase common shares in the market. For the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, we were in a net loss position and have excluded 392,001 and 627,001 stock options from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because these securities are anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute loss per share is as follows: Schedule of weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute loss per share Year Ended June 30, 2025 2024 Net loss attributable to Parent Company $ ( 243,101 ) $ ( 3,964,016 ) Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding: Basic 11,784,280 11,784,280 Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents arising from stock options – – Diluted Outstanding shares 11,784,280 11,784,280 Basic loss per share attributable to Parent Company stockholders $ ( 0.02 ) $ ( 0.34 ) Diluted loss per share attributable to Parent Company stockholders $ ( 0.02 ) $ ( 0.34 ) NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases We adopted ASC 842 new lease accounting on July 1, 2019. We had an operating lease principally for both Franklin Wireless Corp. and Franklin Technologies Inc., 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. F- 20 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 related to this property was $ 337,322 and $ 321,259 for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. On or about December 7 th , 2023, we received an invoice from our prior landlord, Hunsaker & Associates, requesting payment of additional rent on our completed and expired lease of office space located at 9707 Waples Street, San Diego, CA as of December 31, 2023. This invoice of $ 142,978 purports to represent charges for variable cost increases during the prior 7 years of the lease, which was discounted by $ 46,274 and adjusted down to $ 96,704 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. We are currently reviewing these charges and will be requesting further validation of these charges, in accordance with our rights granted under the lease. For the year ended June 30, 2024, we recorded an additional rent expense of $ 96,704 and an accrued liability of $ 72,048 reflecting this pending invoice and a credit of $ 24,656 for our deposit on the leasehold property. Our Korea-based subsidiary, FTI, leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space, at a monthly rent of approximately $6,600, and additional office space consisting of approximately 2,682 square feet at a monthly rent of approximately $2,200, 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 $ 105,889 and $ 112,206 for each of the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We lease one corporate housing facility, located in Seoul, Korea, primarily for our employees who travel, under a non-cancelable operating lease that expired on September 4, 2025, and was extended for an additional 12 months to September 4, 2026. Rent expense related to this lease was $ 8,077 and $ 8,089 for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We lease one corporate vehicle on December 1, 2024, in San Diego, California, for our employees, under a non-cancelable lease that expires on November 30, 2027. Rent expense related to this lease was $ 6,473 and $ 0 for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 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, and used a discount rate of 7.0 % in determining our lease liabilities for the vehicle. 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 years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $ 469,910 and $ 538,258 respectively. In accordance with ASC 842, the components of the lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 are as follows: Schedule of components of the lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases Years ended June 30, 2025 2024 Operating lease expense $ 443,211 $ 321,259 Additional charges for the prior operating lease subject to dispute – 96,704 Vehicle lease expense 6,473 Short term lease cost 20,226 120,295 Total lease expense $ 469,910 $ 538,258 F- 21 In accordance with ASC 842, future minimum payments under operating leases are as follows: Schedule of future minimum payments under operating leases Operating Lease Fiscal 2026 $ 460,293 Fiscal 2027 377,047 Fiscal 2028 389,915 Fiscal 2029 363,310 Total lease payments 1,590,565 Less imputed interest ( 196,237 ) Total $ 1,394,328 Remaining lease term-operating lease in San Diego, California 3.9 years Discount rate-operating lease in San Diego, California 7 % Remaining lease term-operating lease in South Korea 1.2 years Discount rate-operating lease in South Korea 6 % Remaining lease term-vehicle lease in San Diego, California 2.4 years Discount rate-vehicle lease in San Diego, California 7 % 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. 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 Arising from Verizon Jetpack Recall 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. FTI Litigation in Korea In January of 2025 our South Korea-based subsidiary, FTI was sued by Partron Co., Ltd., a South Korean manufacturer of electronic parts for mobile and telecommunication devices (“Partron”). The complaint, filed in Seoul Central District Court, alleges that FTI requested Partron to prepare semiconductor components to be included in FTI’s products for resale to third parties. The complaint also alleges that FTI and Partron had entered into a Confidentiality Agreement under which Partron shared the login credentials for its Qualcomm account and that FTI used such access for the design of the products but contracted with another vendor to produce the components. It further alleges that Partron ordered a large quantity of semiconductor components from its business partners, such as Qualcomm and Dasaron Corporation, in reliance on such requests from FTI, but FTI failed to complete the purchase of such components from Partron. Parton alleges that it paid its suppliers for such components, but that FTI failed to purchase the components from Partron, resulting in damages, including interest, of $ 8,126,786 , under the South Korean Unfair Competition Prevention Act and other legal theories. F- 22 The Company owns approximately 66.34 % of the outstanding equity securities of FTI. The action does not name the Company as a defendant. FTI has advised the Company that it does not believe the allegations are supported by the facts and it intends to vigorously oppose the action. 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. O.C. Kim, et al., Case #21cv2091-AJB-MSB, on or about December 15, 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. 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). A jury trial was held in December 2024. On December 19 th , 2024, after an 8-day trial, the jury returned a verdict finding only nominal damages of $0.99 against a single director and no damages against all other defendants. 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. Following the jury verdict in the consolidated Harwood and Martin action finding only nominal damages, the parties agreed to dismiss this action. On August 12, 2025, the court formally dismissed the case. “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 O.C. 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 to allow Mr. Kim time to pursue remedies with the State of Nevada. F- 23 On January 16, 2025, the Company accrued the deferred incentive bonus of $ 1,250,000 to OC Kim, its President, and recognized a receivable for the deferred $ 1,000,000 settlement amount owed by Mr. Kim to the Company. As of June 30, 2025, no payment for the accrued bonus has been made to Mr. Kim by the Company, and the receivable of $ 1,000,000 from Mr. Kim was partially settled through the May 8, 2025 option repurchase transaction, in which the $ 337,404 net proceeds otherwise payable to Mr. Kim were applied against the receivable. This leaves a remaining settlement balance of $ 662,596 owed by Mr. Kim as of June 30, 2025. Loan Agreement with Subsidiary, FTI 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 year ended June 30, 2025, 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. The loan proceeds are subject to foreign exchange fluctuations as the funds are being held in Korea at a Korean bank. Should the exchange rate rise or fall during the term of the agreement the return value in the United States Dollar (“USD”) could decrease resulting in a potential loss of value. 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 who 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. F- 24 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 agreement, with the first such bonus due on December 31, 2022. Incentive bonuses of $ 500,000 have been accrued for each of the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, resulting in accrued bonus balances of $ 1,375,000 and $ 875,000 as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, no payment for the accrued bonuses has been made by the Company. The employment agreement with OC Kim was renewed and extended by the Board in September 2024 and will continue through October 2027. Joint Venture Agreement On May 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement for Formation of a Joint Venture Corporation (the “Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the parties formed a Nevada corporation, Sigbeat, to be owned 60 % by Franklin and 40% by its EMS partner, Forge. The parties contributed a total of $ 5,000,000 in capital, in accordance with their respective ownership interest percentages. Under the terms of the Agreement, Sigbeat has a Board of Directors consisting of three members, of whom two are to be appointed by the Company and one appointed by Forge. Sigbeat will engage in worldwide sales, marketing, customer support and operations for telecommunications modules under such brands or designations as the Board of Directors of Sigbeat determine. Pursuant to the Agreement, in July 2024, Sigbeat entered into a stock subscription agreement with Forge to purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 40% of the total outstanding Common Stock of Sigbeat. On December 23, 2024, and January 9, 2025, the Company contributed $ 600,000 and $ 2,400,000 for Common Stock, respectively, and, on January 16, 2025, Forge contributed $ 2,000,000 for Common Stock. Forbearance Agreement 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 its EMS partner. The Company and Mr. Kim also entered into a Forbearance Agreement on 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. On January 16, 2025, the Company accrued the deferred incentive bonus of $ 1,250,000 to OC Kim, its President, and recognized a receivable for the deferred $ 1,000,000 settlement amount owed by Mr. Kim to the Company. As of June 30, 2025, no payment for the accrued bonus has been made to Mr. Kim by the Company, and the receivable of $ 1,000,000 from Mr. Kim was partially settled through the May 8, 2025 option repurchase transaction, in which the $ 337,404 net proceeds otherwise payable to Mr. Kim were applied against the receivable. This leaves a remaining settlement balance of $ 662,596 owed by Mr. Kim as of June 30, 2025. International Tariffs Our products are currently manufactured in Vietnam. We believe that our products are currently exempt from international tariffs upon import from our manufacturers to the United States. If tariffs are imposed on our products either based on type of product or the country of manufacture, they could significantly increase our costs to import devices and potentially reduce or even eliminate our ability to earn profits from the sale of our devices. Should we be required to use device manufacturing companies located outside of tariffed countries we will incur significant delays in production and possibly lose sales as a result of those changes and delays. Given the unpredictable timing of Tariff implementation, it is possible that sales could be in process and become subject to a Tariff that would result in losses on those transactions. Any such reduction in profit margins, lost sales and or increased costs would likely have a negative impact on the price of our shares in the market. F- 25 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 - 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 the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, taking into account the vesting provisions and historical exercise patterns of participants; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility; and 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 1,000,000 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 or Plan Administrator 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 was compensation expense of $ 350,593 and $ 295,104 recorded under this method for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, 604,000 shares of Common Stock under the 2020 Plan are available.

No cash was paid directly to Mr. Kim in connection with this transaction. F- 27 On May 14, 2024, we entered into an Agreement for Formation of a Joint Venture Corporation (the “Agreement”).
