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, 2012 included in the Company’s Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed on October 15, 2012 and November 5, 2012, respectively.  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 engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of broadband high speed wireless data communication products such as third generation (“3G”) and fourth generation (“4G”) wireless modules and modems. We focus primarily on wireless broadband Universal Serial Bus (“USB”) modems, which provide a flexible way for consumers to connect to wireless broadband networks from laptop or desktop computers. Our broadband wireless data communication products are positioned at the convergence of wireless communications, mobile computing and the Internet, each of which we believe represents a growing market.

Our wireless products are based on Evolution Data Optimized technology ("EV-DO technology") of Code Division Multiple Access ("CDMA"), High-Speed Packet Access (“HSPA”) technology of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (“WCDMA”), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (“WiMAX”) based on the IEEE 802.16 standard and Long Term Evolution (LTE) which enable end users to send and receive email with large file attachments, play interactive games, receive, send and download high resolution pictures, videos and music content.

We market our products directly to wireless operators, and indirectly through strategic partners and distributors. Our global customer base extends primarily from the United States to South American and Caribbean countries.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and a subsidiary with a majority voting interest of 51.8% (48.2% is owned by non-controlling interests) as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012. 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 subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests.

Non-controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary

On January 10, 2011, we purchased 20,000 shares of our Korea-based subsidiary, Franklin Technology Inc. (“FTI”) common stock for $26,654. On July 1, 2011, we entered into a Convertible Bond Purchase Agreement with FTI. Under this agreement, we purchased a convertible bond from FTI with an original principal amount of $500,000 that bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum (with interest payable semi-annually) and matures on July 1, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, upon conversion, the bond will convert into FTI Common Stock at a price of approximately $0.55 per share. On August 11, 2011, we converted the full amount of the bond of $500,000 into 916,666 shares of FTI Common Stock at a price of approximately $0.55. Concurrent with the bond conversion, FTI raised $542,603 by issuing 853,328 shares of its common stock to new investors at a price of approximately $0.64 per share. As a result of these transactions, FTI’s total outstanding shares increased by 1,769,994 shares to 1,988,660 shares. In addition, we own 1,029,332 shares, or 51.8% of the outstanding capital stock of FTI, with 48.2% owned by non-controlling interests.

As of September 30, 2012, the non-controlling interest was $555,863, which represents a $96,682 decrease from $652,545 as of June 30, 2012. The decrease was due to the net loss of subsidiary of $200,419 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, of which 48.2% was attributable to the non-controlling interests.

Segment Reporting

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 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 management 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 three geographic areas, consisting of the United States, the Caribbean and South 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:

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.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification relates to amortization expense associated with capitalized product development previously reported as selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses that has been reclassified to cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The amount reclassified from selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses to cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $334,674 and $167,307, respectively. This reclassification does not affect previously reported net sales, net income (loss), earnings per share, or any portion of our consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of cash flow for any period presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as advances, 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 are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds.

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 September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered. Accordingly, we recognize revenues from product sales upon shipment of the products to the customers or when the products are received by the customers in accordance with shipping or delivery terms. We provide a factory warranty for one year from the shipment, which is covered by our vendors pursuant to purchase agreements.

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

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) include 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 its 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 the Company’s customers.

As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, capitalized product development costs in progress were $1,205,005 and $1,258,499, respectively, and these amounts are included in intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $340,813 in capitalized product development costs and transferred $361,248 to complete technology and $33,058 to certifications & licenses following the completion of certain product development efforts. All expenses incurred before technological feasibility is reached are expensed and included in our consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development Costs

Costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were approximately $710,000 and $498,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Warranties

We provide a factory warranty for one year which is covered by our vendors and manufacturers under purchase agreements between the Company and the vendors. In general, these products are shipped directly from our vendors to our customers. As a result, we do not have warranty exposure and do not accrue any warranty expenses.

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 and research and development expenses on the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss), were $120,411 and $29,868 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 market, 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.  However, as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we believe our inventory needs no such reserves and have recorded no inventory reserves.

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:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and certain intangible assets are recorded in connection with the FTI acquisition 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. Our annual impairment review performed on June 30, 2012 did not indicate any impairment.

The definite lived intangible assets consisted of the following as of September 30, 2012:

The definite lived intangible assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2012:

Amortization expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $377,937 and $210,359, respectively.

Long-lived Assets

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

We tested the long-lived assets for impairment as of June 30, 2012 by comparing the discounted cash flows of the assets to their carrying values and concluded that, as of this date, no impairment existed.  As of September 30, 2012, we are not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.

Income Taxes

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes, which require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax 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.

Based on the assessment, management believes that the Company is more likely than not to fully realize our deferred tax assets. As such, no valuation allowance has been established for the Company’s deferred tax assets. However, the Company may need to establish a valuation allowance should it incur taxable losses in the future.

We adopted ASC 740-10-25 on January 1, 2007, which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position. We must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. We did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-25.

As of September 30, 2012, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. We recorded an income tax provision of $564,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

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 for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.  No reserve was required or recorded for any of the periods presented.

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

 A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, sales to our two largest customers accounted for 50%, and 34% of our consolidated net sales and 38% and 20% of our accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2012. In the same period in 2011, sales to our three largest customers accounted for 35%, 22%, and 19% of our consolidated net sales and 42%, 26%, and 12% of our accounts receivable balance. No other customers accounted for more than ten percent of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we purchased the majority of our wireless data products from one major manufacturing company located in Asia. If this manufacturing company were to experience delays, capacity constraints or quality control problems, product shipments to our customers could be delayed, or our customers could consequently elect to cancel the underlying product purchase order, which would negatively impact the Company's revenue.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we purchased wireless data products from this supplier in the amount of $7,999,609, or 83.4% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $3,930,633 as of September 30, 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we purchased wireless data products from two suppliers in the amount of $1,483,725, or 93.6% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $912,205 as of September 30, 2011.

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 account.  However, the Company does not anticipate any losses on excess deposits.

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of: 

Depreciation expense associated with property and equipment was $51,779 and $41,540 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 5 - ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following as of: 

NOTE 6 – SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS FROM BANKS

Short-term borrowings from banks consisted of the following as of:

NOTE 7 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

We report earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.”  Basic earnings 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 months ended September 30, 2011, we were in a net loss position and have excluded 899,002 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 earnings per share is as follows:

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

We leased approximately 6,070 square feet of office space in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $8,975, and the lease expired on August 31, 2011. On September 1, 2011, we moved into new office space, consisting of approximately 11,318 square feet located in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $16,576, and the lease expires on August 31, 2015. In addition to monthly rent, the new lease provides for periodic cost of living increases in the base rent. Rent expense related to the operating leases was $49,728 and $34,526 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our facility is covered by an appropriate level of insurance and we believe it to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs.

Our Korea-based subsidiary, Franklin Technology, Inc. (“FTI”), leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $7,840, and the lease expires on September 1, 2013. In addition to monthly rent, the lease provides for periodic cost of living increases in the base rent and payment of common area costs. The 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 the operating lease was approximately $23,520 and $23,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We lease two corporate housing facilities for our vendors and employees who travel, under non-cancelable operating leases that expired on September 30, 2012, which is extended to September 13, 2013, and July 31, 2013. Rent expense related to the operating leases was $5,347 and $2,723 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Contingency

On July 27, 2010, we entered into a Common Stock Repurchase Agreement with C-Motech (the “Agreement”), under which we agreed to repurchase 3,370,356 shares of our Common Stock from C-Motech for $3,500,000. A total of 1,803,684 shares were repurchased on the date of the Agreement in exchange for non-cash consideration in the amount of $1,873,065, which represented amounts owed to the Company by C-Motech for certain marketing funds as well as the settlement of a price dispute for products previously purchased by the Company from C-Motech. Under the Agreement, the remaining 1,566,672 shares were to be repurchased by us upon payment of the balance, $1,626,935, on or before December 31, 2010.

On January 28, 2011 (the “Amendment Date”) the Agreement was amended to reflect (1) a change in the date the 1,566,672 shares are to be repurchased from C-Motech from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011, and (2) a change to the non-cash consideration of $1,873,065. In exchange for the 1,803,684 shares, we were to pay cash to C-Motech (in the same amount) for the shares, by March 31, 2011. In addition, in a separate agreement dated January 28, 2011, C-Motech agreed to pay us $1,873,065, for amounts owed, by March 31, 2011. The purpose of these revisions was to more clearly differentiate each party’s payment obligations to the other with respect to this transaction. Following the Amendment Date, we paid C-Motech $1,873,065 in exchange for the 1,803,684 shares previously transferred to us by C-Motech, and C-Motech paid us $1,873,065 for amounts owed, of which $1,581,457 was booked to other income and $291,608 was booked to cost of goods sold. The repurchase of the remaining 1,566,672 shares has not been completed. We have provided formal notification to C-Motech that it is in breach of its obligations and we have also provided a demand to sell the shares back to us. We have attempted to tender payment for the shares without results, and we are unable to determine whether or not this repurchase will take place.

As of September 30, 2012, C-Motech owns 1,566,672 shares, or approximately 15%, of our outstanding Common Stock.

Litigation

We are from time to time involved in certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. On August 16, 2011, Brandywine Communications Technologies, LLC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division against one of our customers as one of several defendants. The complaint alleges that certain wireless devices, including one device provided by the Company, infringe on U.S. Patent No. 5,373,149. The Company provided device was purchased by the Company from one of our suppliers. The supplier has been notified of the complaint and is evaluating this matter. As of September 30, 2012, this legal proceeding is pending, but we do not believe this action will have a material effect on the Company.

On December 10, 2010, Novatel Wireless, Inc. filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, against us and one other defendant. The complaint alleges that certain products, including, but not limited to, mobile data hot spots and data modems, infringe on U.S. Patent Nos. 5,129,098; 7,318,225; 7,574,737 and 7,319,715. On April 13, 2012, the plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint which amended certain claims and added U.S. Patent No. 7,944,901 to the original complaint. On April 27, 2012, we filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint as to certain of the claims. On July 6, 2012, the Court held oral argument on the Motion to Dismiss and on July 19, 2012, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the Motion to Dismiss. On August 2, 2012, we answered the complaint and an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference took place on October 31, 2012. Due to the preliminary nature of these proceedings, we do not believe an amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated for this matter. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these allegations.

On December 14, 2011 our officers and directors were named as defendants in an action filed by Sherman Capital Group LLC, Singer Children's Management Trust, David S. Oros, Milfam NG LLC and Lloyd I. Miller-Trust C (the “Sherman Group”) in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Diego.  The complaint seeks damages and declaratory relief for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by our officers and directors in the management of the Company. The complaint does not specify an amount of damages. Our officers and directors are entitled to indemnity from the Company under the Company’s bylaws. On January 20, 2012 we filed a Notice of Removal from the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Diego to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. Following several motions and filings submitted to the Court by both parties, we answered the complaint in the United States District Court on April 10, 2012 and an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference took place on June 11, 2012.

On September 19, 2012, we entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement and a Standstill Agreement, each with Sherman Capital Group, LLC; Karen Singer, Trustee Of Singer Children’s Management Trust; David S. Oros; Milfam NG LLC; and PNC Trust Company of Delaware, Trustee of Lloyd I. Miller – Trust C (the “Sherman Group”). Under the terms of the Stock Repurchase Agreement, we agreed to repurchase 1,538,602 shares of our Common Stock from the members of the Sherman Group for a purchase price of $2,831,028, or $1.84 per share, representing a premium of $440,000 from the market price on the date of the Agreement, which was recorded in operating expenses in the period ended June 30, 2012. Under the terms of the Standstill Agreement, the members of the Sherman Group agreed that they will not (i) acquire any Common Stock or other securities of the Company, (ii) make any tender offer with respect to securities of the Company, (iii) participate in any solicitation of proxies with respect to the Company, (iv) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-5(b) thereunder) with respect to the securities of the Company, or (v) act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the Company. On September 27, 2012, we completed the repurchase of the shares of our Common Stock from the Sherman Group.

On September 19, 2012, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with the Sherman Group. Under the terms of this Agreement, the parties agreed to file a request with the Court to dismiss this action, which was filed on October 2, 2012. On October 3, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California issued an Order approving the voluntary dismissal, with prejudice, of the action filed by the Sherman Group.

Change of Control Agreements

On September 21, 2009 we entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President and Acting Chief Financial Officer, Yun J. (David) Lee, our Chief Operating Officer, and Yong Bae Won, our Vice President, Engineering. 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 is for three years and calls for a payment of $5 million upon a change of control; the agreement with Mr. Lee is for two years and calls for a payment of $2 million upon a change of control; and the agreement with Mr. Won is for two years and calls for a payment of $1 million upon a change of control.

On September 16, 2011, the Board of Directors approved extending the Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President and Acting Chief Financial Officer, Yun J. (David) Lee, our Chief Operating Officer, and Yong Bae Won, our Vice President, Engineering for an additional three years. Following this approval, the Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim will expire on September 21, 2015 and the Change of Control Agreements with Messrs. Lee and Won will expire on September 21, 2014.

NOTE 9 – LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

We apply the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” using a modified prospective application, and the Black-Scholes model. Under this application, we are required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Compensation costs will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.

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. Compensation expense recorded under this method for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $75,266 and reduced operating income and income before income taxes by the same amount by increasing compensation expense recognized in selling and administrative expense. The recognized tax benefit related to the compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.

A summary of the status of our stock options is presented below: 

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based upon the Company’s closing stock price of $1.88 as of September 30, 2012, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2012 in the amount of 1,328,170 shares was $1.06 per share.

As of September 30, 2012, there was $653,499 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We purchased wireless data products in the amounts of $8,800 and $360 from C-Motech, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and had related accounts payable of $0 as of September 30, 2012 and 2011. As of September 30, 2012, C-Motech owns 1,566,672 shares, or 15.1%, of our outstanding Common Stock.

On July 27, 2010, we entered into a Common Stock Repurchase Agreement with C-Motech (the “Agreement”), under which we agreed to repurchase 3,370,356 shares of our Common Stock from C-Motech for $3,500,000. A total of 1,803,684 shares were repurchased on the date of the Agreement in exchange for non-cash consideration in the amount of $1,873,065, which represented amounts owed to the Company by C-Motech for certain marketing funds as well as the settlement of a price dispute for products previously purchased by the Company from C-Motech. Under the Agreement, the remaining 1,566,672 shares were to be repurchased by us upon payment of the balance, $1,626,935, on or before December 31, 2010.

On January 28, 2011 (the “Amendment Date”) the Agreement was amended to reflect (1) a change in the date the 1,566,672 shares are to be repurchased from C-Motech from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011, and (2) a change to the non-cash consideration of $1,873,065. In exchange for the 1,803,684 shares, we were to pay cash to C-Motech (in the same amount) for the shares, by March 31, 2011. In addition, in a separate agreement dated January 28, 2011, C-Motech agreed to pay us $1,873,065, for amounts owed, by March 31, 2011. The purpose of these revisions was to more clearly differentiate each party’s payment obligations to the other with respect to this transaction. Following the Amendment Date, we paid C-Motech $1,873,065 in exchange for the 1,803,684 shares previously transferred to us by C-Motech, and C-Motech paid us $1,873,065 for amounts owed, of which $1,581,457 was booked to other income and $291,608 was booked to cost of goods sold. The repurchase of the remaining 1,566,672 shares has not been completed. We have provided formal notification to C-Motech that it is in breach of its obligations and we have also provided a demand to sell the shares back to us. We have attempted to tender payment for the shares without results, and we are unable to determine whether or not this repurchase will take place.

As of September 30, 2012, C-Motech owes us approximately $200,000, relating to the defense of a patent infringement claim.

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 and Amendment No. 1 thereto for the year ended June 30, 2012, filed on October 15, 2012 and November 5, 2012, respectively.  In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of broadband high speed wireless data communication products such as third generation (“3G”) and fourth generation (“4G”) wireless modules and modems. We focus primarily on wireless broadband Universal Serial Bus (“USB”) modems, which provide a flexible way for consumers to connect to wireless broadband networks from laptop or desktop computers. Our broadband wireless data communication products are positioned at the convergence of wireless communications, mobile computing and the Internet, each of which we believe represents a growing market.

We market our products directly to wireless operators, and indirectly through strategic partners and distributors. Our global customer base extends primarily from the United States to South American and Caribbean countries. Our USB modems are certified by Sprint, C-Spire Wireless, and other wireless operators located in the United States as well as Caribbean and South American countries.

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, 2012, 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 during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our statements of operations including data expressed as a percentage of sales:

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

NET SALES - Net sales increased by $10,013,624, or 320.6%, to $13,137,078 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $3,123,454 for the corresponding period of 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of South America and the Caribbean, the United States, and Asia, were $746,300 (5.7% of net sales), $11,952,092 (91.0% of net sales), and $438,686 (3.3% of net sales), respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of South America and the Caribbean, the United States, and Asia, were $38,700 (1.2% of net sales), $2,378,507 (76.2% of net sales), and $706,247 (22.6% of net sales), respectively.

Net sales in the South American and Caribbean regions increased by $707,600, or 1,828.4%, to $746,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $38,700 for the corresponding period of 2011.   The increase 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 the United States increased by $9,573,585, or 402.5%, to $11,952,092 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $2,378,507 for the corresponding period of 2011. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the market release of new products and the addition of new customers. Net sales in Asia decreased by $267,561, or 37.9%, to $438,686 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $706,247 for the corresponding period of 2011. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales of the Company’s M600 dual-mode (3G and 4G) embedded modules. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, a customer purchased significant quantities of this product which did not reoccur during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

GROSS PROFIT – Gross profit increased by $2,621,302, or 469.2%, to $3,179,942 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $558,640 for the corresponding period of 2011.  The increase was primarily due to the change in net sales as discussed above.  The gross profit in terms of net sales percentage was 24.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 17.9% for the corresponding period of 2011.  The increase in gross profit in terms of net sales percentage was due to variations in customer and product mix, selling prices and product costs which generally vary from period to period.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased by $425,905, or 28.5%, to $1,922,495 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $1,496,590 for the corresponding period of 2011.  The increase was due to several factors including higher payroll and share-based compensation expense, shipping expense (due to higher sales volumes) and R&D expense (due to the amount of costs being expensed vs. capitalized).

OTHER INCOME (LOSS), NET - Other income (loss), net decreased by $79,913 to ($51,545) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $28,368 for the corresponding period of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to expenses incurred by FTI.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal liquidity requirements are for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our liquidity requirements with cash on hand and cash flow from operations.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES – Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $6,562,135 and $2,885,680, respectively.

The $6,562,135 in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to the net income of $641,902 as well as decreases in accounts receivable, advance payment to vendor and inventory of $9,460,661, $138,678 and $137,830, respectively. These amounts were partially offset by the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $4,386,462 and $353,177. The $2,885,680 in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to the decreases in accounts receivable and inventory of $4,304,982 and $805,384, respectively, which were partially offset by the decrease in accounts payable of $1,254,123 and the increase in deferred tax assets of $176,000, respectively.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES – Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $708,005 and $414,031, respectively.

The $708,005 in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to the payments for capitalized product development costs and purchases of intangible assets of $340,813 and $186,523, respectively. The $414,031 in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to the payment for capitalized product development costs and purchase of intangibles of $384,141 and $27,967, respectively.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES – Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $2,406,414. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $540,767.

The $2,406,414 in net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to the repurchase of 1,538,602 shares of our Common Stock from the Sherman Group pursuant to a Stock Repurchase Agreement dated September 19, 2012. The purchase price was $2,831,028, or $1.84 per share, including a premium of $440,000 from the market price on the date of the Agreement that was recorded in operating expenses in the period ending June 30, 2012, and, in addition to the purchase price, a commission of $15,386 was recorded as a reduction of capital for this repurchase.

The $540,767 in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance of FTI common stock to new investors of $542,603.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

Leases

We leased approximately 6,070 square feet of office space in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $8,975, and the lease expired on August 31, 2011. On September 1, 2011, we moved into new office space, consisting of approximately 11,318 square feet located in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $16,576, and the lease expires on August 31, 2015. In addition to monthly rent, the new lease provides for periodic cost of living increases in the base rent. Rent expense related to the operating leases was $49,728 and $34,526 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our facility is covered by an appropriate level of insurance and we believe it to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs.

Our Korea-based subsidiary, Franklin Technology, Inc. (“FTI”), leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $7,840, and the lease expires on September 1, 2013. In addition to monthly rent, the lease provides for periodic cost of living increases in the base rent and payment of common area costs. The 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 the operating lease was approximately $23,520 and $23,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We lease two corporate housing facilities for our vendors and employees who travel, under non-cancelable operating leases that expire on September 30, 2012, which was extended to September 31, 2013, and July 31, 2013. Rent expense related to the operating leases was $5,347 and $2,723 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Contingency

On July 27, 2010, we entered into a Common Stock Repurchase Agreement with C-Motech (the “Agreement”), under which we agreed to repurchase 3,370,356 shares of our Common Stock from C-Motech for $3,500,000. A total of 1,803,684 shares were repurchased on the date of the Agreement in exchange for non-cash consideration in the amount of $1,873,065, which represented amounts owed to the Company by C-Motech for certain marketing funds as well as the settlement of a price dispute for products previously purchased by the Company from C-Motech. Under the Agreement, the remaining 1,566,672 shares were to be repurchased by us upon payment of the balance, $1,626,935, on or before December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Agreement, Kwang Sun Han, a director of the Company and the designee of C-Motech on the Company’s Board of Directors, resigned from the Board of Directors. On January 28, 2011 (the “Amendment Date”) the Agreement was amended to reflect (1) a change in the date the 1,566,672 shares are to be repurchased from C-Motech from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011, and (2) a change to the non-cash consideration of $1,873,065. In exchange for the 1,803,684 shares, we were to pay cash to C-Motech (in the same amount) for the shares, by March 31, 2011. In addition, in a separate agreement dated January 28, 2011, C-Motech agreed to pay us $1,873,065, for amounts owed, by March 31, 2011. The purpose of these revisions was to more clearly differentiate each party’s payment obligations to the other with respect to this transaction. Following the Amendment Date, we paid C-Motech $1,873,065 in exchange for the 1,803,684 shares previously transferred to us by C-Motech, and C-Motech paid us $1,873,065 for amounts owed. The repurchase of the remaining 1,566,672 shares has not been completed. We have provided formal notification to C-Motech that it is in breach of its obligations and we have also provided a demand to sell the shares back to us. We have attempted to tender payment for the shares without results, and as of the date of this filing, we are unable to determine whether or not this repurchase will take place.

As of September 30, 2012, C-Motech owns 1,566,672 shares, or approximately 15%, of our Common Stock.

Change of Control Agreements

On September 21, 2009 we entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President and Acting Chief Financial Officer, Yun J. (David) Lee, our Chief Operating Officer, and Yong Bae Won, our Vice President, Engineering. 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 is for three years and calls for a payment of $5 million upon a change of control; the agreement with Mr. Lee is for two years and calls for a payment of $2 million upon a change of control; and the agreement with Mr. Won is for two years and calls for a payment of $1 million upon a change of control.

On September 15, 2011, the Board of Directors approved extending the Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President and Acting Chief Financial Officer, Yun J. (David) Lee, our Chief Operating Officer, and Yong Bae Won, our Vice President, Engineering for an additional three years. Following this approval, the Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim will expire on September 21, 2015 and the Change of Control Agreements with Messrs.
