Franklin Wireless Corp.
San Diego, CA
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Franklin Wireless Corp. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year 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, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year 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.
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 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. |
| · | Ensured that the Company’s disclosures related to legal proceedings in the consolidated financial statements comply with applicable accounting and disclosure standards. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Franklin Wireless Corp.
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, 2023, and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was 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 matter 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 matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
| Description of the Matter | Legal Proceedings As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, management records liabilities for legal proceedings in those instances where it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss and when loss is probable. Where the reasonable estimate of the probable loss is a range, management records as an accrual in its consolidated financial statements the most likely estimate of the loss, or the low end of the range if there is no one best estimate. Management either discloses the amount of a possible loss or range of loss in excess of established accruals if estimable, or states that such an estimate cannot be made. Management discloses significant legal proceedings even where liability is not probable or the amount of the liability is not estimable, or both, if management believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred. |
|---|---|
| How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to legal proceedings is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when assessing the likelihood of a loss being incurred and when estimating the loss or range of loss for each claim, which in turn led to significant auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s assessment of the liabilities and disclosures associated with legal proceedings. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included determining the likelihood of a loss and whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, as well as evaluating disclosures citing the compliance with the financial reporting framework. These procedures also included, among others, obtaining and evaluating the letters of audit inquiry with internal and external legal counsel, evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assessment regarding whether an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible or probable and reasonably estimable, and evaluating the sufficiency of the Company’s disclosures related to legal proceedings and accounting in the consolidated financial statements. |
We have served as the Company’s auditors since 2020.
