BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a leading provider of integrated wireless solutions utilizing the latest in 4G LTE (fourth generation long-term evolution) and 5G (fifth generation) technologies including mobile hotspots, routers, CPEs (Customer Premise Equipment), and various trackers. Our integrated software subscription services provide users remote capabilities including mobile device management (MDM) and software defined wide area networking (SD-WAN).

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

Our products are generally marketed and sold directly to wireless operators and indirectly through strategic partners and distributors. Our global customer base primarily extends from North America to Asia.

FACTORS THAT MAY INFLUENCE FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We believe that our revenue growth will be influenced largely by (1) the successful maintenance of our existing customers, (2) the rate of increase in demand for wireless data products, (3) customer acceptance of our new products, (4) new customer relationships and contracts, 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, 2022, 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, 2022.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

NET SALES - Net sales increased by $4,764,880, or 142.5%, to $8,108,940 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $3,344,060 for the corresponding period of 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of North America and Asia, were $8,107,451 (100.0% of net sales) and $1,489 (0.0% of net sales), respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net sales by geographic regions, consisting of North America and Asia, were $3,171,198 (94.8% of net sales) and $172,862 (5.2% of net sales), respectively.

Net sales in North America increased by $4,936,253, or 155.7%, to $8,107,451 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $3,171,198 for the corresponding period of 2021. The increase in net sales in North America was primarily due to the demand for a wireless product from one major carrier customer. Net sales in Asia decreased by $171,373, or 99.1%, to $1,489 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $172,862 for the corresponding period of 2021. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the decreased revenue generated from the material sales and product development service by FTI, which typically vary from period to period.

GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased by $1,100,898, or 223.3%, to $1,593,862 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $492,964 for the corresponding period of 2021. The gross profit in terms of net sales percentage was 19.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 14.7% for the corresponding period of 2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the change in net sales as described above. The increase in gross profit in terms of net sales percentage was primarily due to the revenues generated from a major carrier customer, which involved higher gross margin compared the corresponding period of 2021.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased by $110,038, or 5.2%, to $2,209,755 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $2,099,717 for the corresponding period of 2021. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $161,820 to $1,239,635 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $1,077,815 for the corresponding period of 2021. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increased compensation expenses related to stock options granted for employees and legal expenses of approximately $86,000 and $60,000, respectively. Research and development expense decreased by $51,782 to $970,120 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $1,021,902 for the corresponding period of 2021. The decrease in research and development expense was primarily due to decreased other research and development costs, which typically vary from period to period.

OTHER INCOME, NET - Other income, net decreased by $1,046,584, or 789.7%, to $914,060 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $132,524 for the corresponding period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates in FTI.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

Our principal source of liquidity as of September 30, 2022 consisted of cash and cash equivalents as well as short-term investments of $40,760,941. We believe we have sufficient available capital to cover our existing operations and obligations through at least one year from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. Our long-term future cash requirements will depend on numerous factors, including our revenue base, profit margins, product development activities, market acceptance of our products, future expansion plans and ability to control costs. If we are unable to achieve our current business plan or secure additional funding that may be required, we would need to curtail our operations or take other similar actions outside the ordinary course of business in order to continue to operate as a going concern.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES - Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $1,012,140 and $6,368,586, respectively.

The $1,012,140 in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the increase in inventory of $855,392 as well as our operating results (net loss adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash charges), which was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $537,395.

The $6,368,586 in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable of $6,156,666 as well as our operating results (net loss adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash charges), which was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,000,401.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES - Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $553,881, and net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $43,485.

The $553,881 in net cash provided by financial activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was from the decreased short-term investments of $1,080,659, which was partially offset by the payments for capitalized products development and property and equipment of $493,250 and $26,674, respectively.

The $43,485 in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the payments for capitalized product development of $35,543.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES - Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $0 and $21,595, respectively. The $21,595 in net cash provided by financial activities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was from cash received from exercise of stock options.
