BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Doing business as “Franklin Access”, we are a leading global provider of integrated wireless solutions utilizing the latest 5G (fifth generation) and 4G LTE (fourth generation long-term evolution) technologies including mobile hotspots, fixed wireless routers, and mobile device management (MDM) solutions. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we began implementing a strategic shift to reduce our reliance on mobile hotspot products and increase our focus on fixed wireless routers and telecommunications modules. This shift was accelerated following a significant decline in demand for certain legacy hotspot products. We are a leading enabler of the Digital Divide initiative, and our expertise extends to innovation in Internet of Things (IOT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, driving forward seamless communication and connectivity for both individuals and enterprises. While we intend to integrate artificial intelligence (“AI”)-compatible hardware, we have not commercially implemented AI technology within our current products.

We hold a 66.3% ownership in 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. We hold a 60% ownership interest in Sigbeat Inc., based in San Diego, California (“Sigbeat”), which will engage in worldwide sales, marketing, customer support and operations for telecommunications modules. Our products are generally marketed and sold directly to wireless operators and indirectly through strategic partners and distributors. Our primary markets are in North America and Asia.

OUR STRUCTURE

We incorporated in 1982 in California and reincorporated in Nevada on October 25, 2007. The reincorporation had no effect on the nature of our business or our management. Our headquarters are located in San Diego, California. This office provides marketing, sales, operations, finance and administrative support. It is also responsible for all customer-related activities, such as marketing communications, product planning, product management and customer support, along with sales and business development activities worldwide.

As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Franklin Wireless Corp. and its subsidiaries, Franklin Technology Inc. (“FTI”) and Sigbeat Inc. (“Sigbeat”), with majority voting interests of 66.3% and 60.0%, respectively, (approximately 33.7% and 40.0% are owned by noncontrolling interests, respectively). In the preparation of consolidated financial statements, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net (loss) earnings are reduced by the portion of the net (loss) earnings of the subsidiary or subsidiaries applicable to noncontrolling interests.

On May 14, 2024, we 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 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 us 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 determines.

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, we contributed $600,000 and $2,400,000 for Common Stock, respectively, and, on January 16, 2025, Forge contributed $2,000,000 for Common Stock.

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 (loss) income 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 (loss) income.
