PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We design and sell broadband high speed wireless data communication
products such as third generation ("3G") and fourth generation ("4G") wireless
modules and modems. We focus on wireless broadband USB modems, which provide a
flexible way for wireless subscribers to connect to the wireless broadband
network with any laptop, tablet PC or desktop USB port without a PC card slot.
The 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 through two channels: directly to wireless
operators, and indirectly through strategic partners and distributors. Our
global customer base extends from the United States to the Caribbean and South
American countries. Our Universal Serial Bus ("USB") modems are certified by
Sprint, Alltel, Cellular South, NTELOS and ACS in the United States, by IUSACELL
in Mexico, by Telefonica and Movilnet in Venezuela, and by TSTT in Trinidad and
Tobago. We have strategic marketing relationships with several of these
customers.
For the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the revenue
recognized from sales of our products was $34,723,299, $10,385,090, and
$1,002,953 respectively.
OUR STRUCTURE
We were incorporated in 1982 under the laws of the State of California
and reincorporated as a Nevada corporation effective January 2, 2008. We are
qualified as a foreign corporation in the State of California, and the
reincorporation had no effect on the nature of our business or our management.
Our headquarters office is located in San Diego, California. The San
Diego office is principally composed of marketing, sales, operations, finance
and administrative support. It is responsible for all customer-related
activities, such as marketing communications, product planning, product
management and customer support, along with sales and business development
activities on a worldwide basis. Our Korea-based subsidiary, ARG, has been
inactive since August 2003. On October 30, 2007, the Board of Directors approved
the dissolution of ARG, and as a part of the dissolution, we assumed a note
payable of $434,000. During the year ended June 30, 2008, we repaid $100,000 on
this note, and the remaining balance amounted to $334,000 at June 30, 2008. The
subsidiary did not have revenue, expense, asset or component of stockholders'
equity as of June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, or for the years then ended.
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," 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 operate in a
single business segment consisting of sale of wireless access products.
OUR PRODUCTS
We are the first company to introduce USB-type mobile broadband modems
to the countries located in North America, the Caribbean, and South America. Our
mobile broadband and data products include wireless USB modems, embedded
modules, and stand-alone mobile broadband modems used for high-speed data
services. Our products are designed to operate on a majority of wireless
networks in the world, provide mobile subscribers with secure and convenient
4
high speed access to wireless data communications networks using laptops,
handheld and desktop computers, and enable our customers to send and receive
email with large file attachments, play interactive games, and receive, send,
and download high resolution picture, video and music contents. Our products are
based on widely deployed cellular technologies and operate across 3G and 4G
networks, including:
o Code Division Multiple Access ("CDMA") technology 1xEVDO - Evolution
Data Optimized technology in both revision 0 and revision A releases.
Revision 0 modems have a download speed of up to 2.4 Mbps and the
revision A products achieve broadband like speed of 3.1 Mbps.
o High Speed Packet Access ("HSPA") based on Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System standard, sometimes referred to as Wideband
Code Division Multiple Access ("WCDMA") technology. This technology
allows download speed of up to 14.4 Mbps.
o Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access ("WIMAX") based on the
IEEE 802.16 standard.
Since we launched three new products, CDMA Revision A USB modem
CDU-680, CDMA Revision 0 CDU-650 USB modem, and CDMA Revision 0 CDX-650 Express
Card modem in 2007, we have continued to add new features and functionality to
our products to enhance value and ease of use that our products provide to our
customers and end users. In 2008, we launched the CGU-628A HSDPA USB modem,
which provides a flexible way for users to connect to high-speed downlink packet
access networks, and the CDM-650 Stand-alone Revision 0 USB modem, which
provides internet connection in remote locations without cable or DSL services.
The followings are a representative selection of our current CDMA and HSPA
wireless data products:
USB Modems
o The CDU-550 Dual-band 800/1900 MHz EVDO rev 0 USB modem was the
industry's first USB EVDO card to be launched in the countries in North
America, the Caribbean, and South America. The modem has a downlink
speed of 2.4 Mbps and an uplink speed of 153 Kbps. More flexible and
versatile than the PCMCIA card, the CDU-550 not only works on laptop
PCs, it also works on desktop PCs and Macintosh laptops where PCMCIA
card slots are not available. The CDU-550 works with Windows OS,
Macintosh and Linux.
o The CDU-650 Dual-band 800/1900 MHz EVDO rev 0 USB modem is the second
generation EVDO USB modem with the same performance as the CDU-550, but
features a retractable USB connector which rotates 270(degree). This
allows the modem body and its antenna to be raised vertically for
better wireless connection performance, and the USB connector can be
folded away when not in use.
o The CDU-680 Dual band 800/1900 MHz rev A USB modem is a
state-of-the-art product featuring an upgraded EVDO revision A radio
with downlink speed of up to 3.1 Mbps and uplink speed of up to 1.8
Mbps, it is the first product in its kind to incorporate onboard flash
memory, a GPS receiver and a retractable USB connector which rotates
more than 270(degree). The industry's first onboard flash memory
feature allows the Connection Manager software for Windows, Macintosh
OS X and driver for Linux to be stored on the device so that no CD or
CD drive is required for software installation. The Quick Installation
Guide is also stored in the memory and is always within easy reach of
the user.
o The CGU-628A tri band 850/1900/2100 MHz HSDPA and quad band
800/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS USB modem features a downlink speed of
up to 14.4 Mbps and an uplink speed of up to 384 Kbps. The tri band
radio allows the modem to be used worldwide wherever there is HSDPA
service and features a retractable USB connector.
5
o The CGU-720A quad band plus AWS 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz HSPA and quad
band 800/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS USB modem features a downlink speed
of up to 7.2 Mbps and an uplink speed of up to 5.76 Mbps. The quad band
plus AWS radio allows the modem to be used worldwide wherever there is
HSPA service and features a retractable USB connector.
Wireless PC Cards
o The CDX-650 Dual-band 800/1900 MHz EVDO rev 0 Express Card modem has
the same wireless connection performance as the CDU-650 but features an
Express Card 34 form factor.
o The CDX-680 Dual-band 800/1900 MHz EVDO Rev A Express Card modem has
the same wireless connection performance as the CDU-680 but features an
Express Card 34 form factor.
Stand-alone Modems
o The CDM-650 is a stand-alone Dual-band 800/1900 MHz EVDO rev 0 USB
modem available for Machine-to-Machine and Vertical Application
markets, such as customers who need internet connection in a kiosk or
remote locations without cable or DSL services. The CDM-650 is a
completely stand-alone modem with a metallic housing, external antenna,
a serial port and a USB port for ease of integration with any
applications and computer systems.
CUSTOMERS
Our global customer base is comprised of wireless operators, strategic
partners and distributors, and it extends from the United States to the
Caribbean and South American countries. Our Universal Serial Bus ("USB") modems
are certified by Sprint, Alltel, Cellular South, NTELOS, Cincinnati Bell, Mobi
PCS, Qwest and ACS in the United States, by IUSACELL in Mexico, by Telefonica
and Movilnet in Venezuela, by Centennial in Puerto Rico, by Alegro in Ecuador
and by TSTT in Trinidad and Tobago. We have strategic marketing relationships
with several of these customers, and our strong customer relationships provide
us with the opportunity to expand our market reach and sales by combining our
expertise in wireless technologies with our customers' sales and marketing base
and access to additional indirect distribution channels.
SALES AND MARKETING
We market our products primarily to wireless operators either directly
or indirectly through strategic partners and distributors located in countries
in North America, the Caribbean, and South America. Most of our sales to
wireless operators are through the use of our indirect strategic partners and
selected sales distributors. A significant portion of our revenue comes from the
Caribbean and South American countries, representing 73.0% of our total revenue,
and from the United States, representing 27.0% for the year ended June 30, 2008.
CDMA Development Group ("CDG") test certifications are required to
launch and market new CDMA wireless data products with wireless operators in
countries in North America, the Caribbean, and South America, and PCS Type
Certification Review Board ("PTCRB") test certifications are required for HSPA
wireless data products. Certifications are issued as being a qualifier of CDG1,
CDG 2 and CDG 3 as well as PTCRB. We are currently selling our wireless
broadband modems with about seven wireless operators in the North American
countries and about ten wireless operators in the Caribbean and South American
countries. Our Universal Serial Bus ("USB") modems are certified by Sprint,
Alltel, Cellular South, NTELOS, Cincinnati Bell, Mobi PCS, Qwest and ACS in the
United States, by IUSACELL in Mexico, by Telefonica and Movilnet in Venezuela,
by Centennial in Puerto Rico, by Alegro in Ecuador and by TSTT in Trinidad and
Tobago.
6
In order to maintain and enhance our strong sales relationships, we are
expanding our sales and technical team as well as access to additional
distribution channels. We are also engaged in a variety of marketing activities,
such as co-marketing with our vendor, trade show support, and products marketing
development support. In the United States, we are continuing to expand our
strategic relationships with major wireless operators and industry leaders
through increased marketing activities in order to drive our market reach and
sales by combining our expertise in wireless technologies with their global
subscriber bases.
PRODUCTION AND MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS
Our facility is located in San Diego, California. Manufacturing of our
products has been contracted out to C-Motech Co. Ltd. ("C-Motech"), located in
South Korea.
In January 2005, we entered into an agreement with C-Motech for the
manufacture of the products. Under the manufacturing and supply agreement,
C-Motech provides us with services including all licenses, component
procurement, final assembly, testing, quality control, fulfillment and
after-sale service. The Agreement provides exclusive rights to market and sell
our CDMA wireless data products in countries in North America, the Caribbean,
and South America. Furthermore, the Agreement provides that we are responsible
for marketing, sales, field testing, and certifications of these products to
wireless service operators and other commercial buyers within a designated
territory, and C-Motech is responsible for design, development, testing,
certification, and completion of these products. Under the Agreement, products
include all access devices designed with Qualcomm's MSM 5100, 5500, 6500, and
6800 chipset solutions provided or designed by C-Motech or both companies. Both
companies own the rights to the products: USB modems, Card Bus, PCI Bus and
Module designed with MSM 5500 dual band products. On January 30, 2007, C-Motech
also certified that we have the exclusive right to sell CDU-680 EVDO USB modems
directly and indirectly in these territories.
The initial term of the Agreement was for two years, commencing on
January 5, 2005. The agreement automatically renews for successive one year
periods, unless either party provides written notice to terminate at least sixty
days prior to the end of the term. This agreement may be amended or supplemented
by mutual agreement of the parties, as is necessary to document the addition of
any new products.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2008, we had thirteen full time employees, and we also
use the services of consultants and contract workers from time to time. Our
employees are not represented by any collective bargaining organization, and we
have never experienced a work stoppage. We believe that our relationship with
our employees to be amicable.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS.
An investment in our shares is highly speculative and involves a
significant degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the
following risk factors, in addition to the other information set forth in this
Annual Report or in any material accompanying this report. The following summary
of risk factors does not purport to be a complete explanation of the risks
involved in our business.
WE HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSSES IN THE PAST. We had experienced significant
operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in the past,
including the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. If our sales do not continue to
improve and operating expenses are not reduced and monitored, we may incur
additional significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations.
7
WE RELY ON A SINGLE SOURCE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF OUR PRODUCTS. We
rely solely on C-Motech Co., Ltd., a company located in South Korea, to design,
manufacture and supply our products, which exposes us to a number of risks and
uncertainties outside our control. Our agreement with C-Motech is renewable
annually, and we cannot be certain it will be renewed each year. Thus, we rely
solely on C-Motech to manufacture and deliver all our products. If we were
unable to purchase products from C-Motech for any reason, we would be forced to
seek an alternative source of supply, which may not be available. Any
significant changes in C-Motech, such as a change in ownership, operations or
financial status may cause difficulties in our ability to deliver products to
customers on a timely basis.
WE OPERATE IN AN INTENSIVELY COMPETITIVE MARKET. The wireless broadband
data access market is highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete
effectively. Many of our competitors or potential competitors have significantly
greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. To survive and
be competitive, we will need to continuously invest in research and development,
sales and marketing, and customer support. Increased competition could result in
price reductions and smaller customer orders. Our failure to compete effectively
could seriously impair our business.
WE OPERATE IN THE HIGH-RISK TELECOM SECTOR. We are in a volatile
industry. In addition, our revenue model is evolving and relies substantially on
the assumption that we will be able to successfully complete the development and
sales of our products and services in the marketplace. Our prospects must be
considered in the light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development and
marketing. In order to be successful in the market we must, among other things:
o Complete development and introduction of functional and attractive
products and services;
o Attract and maintain customer loyalty;
o Establish and increase awareness of our brand;
o Provide desirable products and services to customers at attractive
prices;
o Establish and maintain strategic relationships with partners and
affiliates;
o Rapidly respond to competitive and technological developments;
o Build operations and customer service infrastructure to support our
business; and
o Attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to achieve these goals, and
our failure to achieve them could adversely affect our business, results of
operations, and financial condition. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we
will be able to obtain additional funding if our financial resources are
depleted. We expect that revenues and operating results will fluctuate in the
future. If our efforts are unsuccessful or other unexpected events occur,
purchasers of our shares could lose their entire investment.
WE OPERATE IN A FIELD WITH RAPIDLY CHANGING TECHNOLOGY. Since our
products and services are new, we cannot be certain that these products and
services will function as anticipated or be desirable to our intended markets.
Our current or future products and services may fail to function properly, and
if our products and services do not achieve and sustain market acceptance, our
business, results of operations and profitability may suffer. If we are unable
to predict and comply with evolving wireless standards, our ability to introduce
and sell new products will be adversely affected. If we fail to develop and
introduce products on time, we may lose customers and potential product orders.
WE DEPEND ON THE DEMAND FOR WIRELESS NETWORK CAPACITY. The demand for
our products is completely dependent on the demand for broadband wireless access
to networks. If wireless operators do not deliver acceptable wireless service,
our product sales may dramatically decline. Thus, if wireless operators
experience financial or network difficulties, it will likely reduce demand for
our products.
WE DEPEND ON COLLABORATIVE ARRANGEMENTS. The development and
commercialization of our products and services depend in large part upon our
ability to selectively enter into and maintain collaborative arrangements with
developers, distributors, service providers, network systems providers, core
wireless communications technology providers and manufacturers, among others.
8
THE LOSS OF ANY OF OUR MATERIAL CUSTOMERS COULD ADVERSLY AFFECT OUR
REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY, AND THEREFORE SHAREHOLDER VALUE. We depend on a
small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues. For the
year ended June 30, 2008, three customers represented approximately 84.6% of our
revenue. If any of these customers reduce their business with us or suffer from
business failure, our revenues and profitability could decline, perhaps
materially.
OUR PRODUCT DELIVERIES ARE SUBJECT TO LONG LEAD TIMES. Due to our
limited capital resources, we are experiencing long-lead times to ship products
to our customers, often in excess of 45 days. This could cause us to lose
customers, who may be able to secure faster delivery times from our competitors,
and require us to maintain higher levels of working capital.
OUR PRODUCT-TO-MARKET CHALLENGE IS CRITICAL. Our success depends on our
ability to quickly enter the market and establish an early mover advantage. We
must implement an aggressive sales and marketing campaign to solicit customers
and strategic partners. Any delay could seriously affect our ability to
establish and effectively exploit an early-to-market-strategy.
AS OUR BUSINESS EXPANDS INTERNATIONALLY, WE WILL BE EXPOSED TO
ADDITIONAL RISKS RELATING TO INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. Our expansion into
international operations exposes us to additional risks unique to such
international markets, including the following:
o Increased credit management risks and greater difficulties in
collecting accounts receivable;
o Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, wireless communications
standards, exchange rates, trading policies, tariffs and other
barriers;
o Uncertainties of laws and enforcement relating to the protection of
intellectual property;
o Language barriers; and
o Potential adverse tax consequences.
Furthermore, if we are unable to further develop distribution channels
in countries in North America, the Caribbean and South America, we may not be
able to grow our international operations, and our ability to increase our
revenue will be negatively impacted.
WE MAY INFRINGE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS. The
industry in which we operate has many participants that own, or claim to own,
proprietary intellectual property. In the past we have received, and in the
future may receive, claims from third parties alleging that we, and possibly our
customers, violate their intellectual property rights. Rights to intellectual
property can be difficult to verify and litigation may be necessary to establish
whether or not we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. In
many cases, these third parties are companies with substantially greater
resources than us, and they may be able to, and may choose to, pursue complex
litigation to a greater degree than we could. Regardless of whether these
infringement claims have merit or not, we may be subject to the following:
o We may be liable for substantial damages, liabilities and litigation
costs, including attorneys' fees;
o We may be prohibited from further use of the intellectual property and
may be required to cease selling our products that are subject to the
claim;
o We may have to license the third party intellectual property, incurring
royalty fees that may or may not be on commercially reasonable terms.
In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully
negotiate and obtain such a license from the third party;
o We may have to develop a non-infringing alternative, which could be
costly and delay or result in the loss of sales. In addition, there is
no assurance that we will be able to develop such a non-infringing
alternative;
o The diversion of management's attention and resources;
o Our relationships with customers may be adversely affected; and
o We may be required to indemnify our customers for certain costs and
damages they incur in such a claim.
9
In the event of an unfavorable outcome in such a claim and our
inability to either obtain a license from the third party or develop a
non-infringing alternative, then our business, operating results and financial
condition may be materially adversely affected and we may have to restructure
our business.
Absent a specific claim for infringement of intellectual property, from
time to time we have and expect to continue to license technology, intellectual
property and software from third parties. There is no assurance that we will be
able to maintain our third party licenses or obtain new licenses when required
and this inability could materially adversely affect our business and operating
results and the quality and functionality of our products. In addition, there is
no assurance that third party licenses we execute will be on commercially
reasonable terms.
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.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD RESULT IN INCREASED COSTS AND INABILITY TO
SELL OUR PRODUCTS. Our products are subject to certain mandatory regulatory
approvals in the United States and other regions in which we operate. In the
United States, the Federal Communications Commission regulates many aspects of
communications devices. Although we have obtained all the necessary Federal
Communications Commission and other required approvals for the products we
currently sell, we may not obtain approvals for future products on a timely
basis, or at all. In addition, regulatory requirements may change or we may not
be able to obtain regulatory approvals from countries other than the United
States in which we may desire to sell products in the future.
WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING DUE TO LIMITED RESOURCES. Our
financial resources are limited, and the amount of funding that is required to
develop and commercialize our products and technologies is highly uncertain.
Adequate funds may not be available when needed or on terms satisfactory to us.
Lack of funds may cause us to delay, reduce and/or abandon certain or all
aspects of our development and commercialization programs. If we seek additional
financing through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the
percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may
experience additional dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences
and privileges senior to those of our Common Stock. There can be no assurance
that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we
may not be able to fund our expansion, take advantage of desirable acquisition
opportunities, develop or enhance services or products or respond to competitive
pressures. Such inability could have a materially adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial conditions.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
Not applicable.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
We lease approximately 6,000 square feet of office space in San Diego,
California, at a monthly rent of $9,105. In addition to the minimum annual
rental commitments, the lease provides for periodic cost of living increases in
the base rent and payment of common area costs. The lease expires on August 31,
2011. Our facility is covered by an appropriate level of insurance and we
believe it to be suitable for our respective use and adequate for our present
needs.
We also lease a corporate housing facility for our vendors under a
lease that expires on October 2, 2008, at a rent of approximately $1,485 per
month.
10
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. We
are, from time to time, involved in routine legal proceedings and claims arising
in the ordinary course of business.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to a vote of our stockholders during the
fourth quarter of the 2008 fiscal year.

On January 8, 2008, we implemented a 1 for 70 reverse stock split in
connection with our reincorporation. The foregoing table has been adjusted to
reflect the effects of the reverse stock split.
NUMBER OF STOCKHOLDERS
We have only one class of common stock. As of September 22, 2008, we
had approximately 816 shareholders of record. Since many of the shares of our
Common Stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of
shareholders, it is impossible to determine the total number of beneficial
holders represented by these record holders.
11
DIVIDENDS
We have never declared or paid any dividends on any share of our common
stock. We currently intend to retain all available fund for use in the operation
and development of our business and, therefore, and do not expect to declare or
pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we
did not sell any unregistered securities.
REPURCHASES
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we
did not repurchase any shares of our common stock, nor were any repurchases made
on our behalf.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
Not applicable.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION.
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. 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"
below. In the lights of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the
forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.
BUSIENSS OVERVIEW
We design and sell broadband high speed wireless data communication
products. Our products include third generation ("3G") and fourth generation
("4G") wireless modules and modems. Our products are designed to operate on a
majority of wireless networks in the world, provide mobile subscribers with
secure and convenient high speed access to wireless data communications networks
using laptops, handheld and desktop computers, and enable our customers to send
and receive email with large file attachments, play interactive games, and
receive, send, and download high resolution picture, video and music contents.
We market our products primarily to wireless operators either directly
or indirectly through strategic partners and distributors located in countries
in North America, the Caribbean and South America. Most of our sales to wireless
operators are made through the use of our indirect strategic partners and
selected sales distributors. Our global customer base extends from the United
States to the Caribbean and South American countries. Our Universal Serial Bus
("USB") modems are certified by Sprint, Alltel, Cellular South, NTELOS,
Cincinnati Bell, Mobi PCS, Qwest and ACS in the United States, by IUSACELL in
Mexico, by Telefonica and Movilnet in Venezuela, by Centennial in Puerto Rico,
by Alegro in Ecuador and by TSTT in Trinidad and Tobago. We have strategic
marketing relationships with several of these customers.
12
In order to maintain and enhance our strong sales relationships, we are
expanding our sales and technical team as well as access to additional
distribution channels. We are also engaged in a variety of marketing activities,
such as co-marketing with our vendor, trade show support, and products marketing
development support. In the United States, we are continuing to expand our
strategic relationships with leading wireless operators and industry leaders
through increased marketing activities in order to drive our market reach and
sales by combining our expertise in wireless technologies with their global
subscriber bases.
FACTORS THAT MAY INFLUENCE FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We believe that our revenue growth will be influenced largely by (1)
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 (4) our ability to meet
customers' demands.
We have an agreement with C-Motech for the manufacturing of our
products. Under our manufacturing agreements, C-Motech is responsible for
design, development, testing, certification, and completion of these products.
We believe that our cost of goods sold will depend on our ability to negotiate
with C-Motech based on our capability in market development in light of
increased competition.
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 customer development.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the Untied States of America requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts on
those financial statements. Note 2 to the financial statements (included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K) describes the significant accounting policies and
methods used in the preparation of the financial statements. On an ongoing
basis, we evaluate those estimates including, but not limited to, those related
to our intangible assets and long-lived assets. We base those estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different conditions or if our assumptions change.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial
statements:
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements 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
revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include useful lives
of intangible and long-lived assets.
13
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue from product sales 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 product to the customers. We do not allow
the right of return on product sales but provide a factory warranty for
one year from the shipment, which is covered by our vendor.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flow, we consider all highly
liquid investments purchased with original maturities of six months or
less to be cash equivalents.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Most of shipping and handling costs are paid by the customers directly
to the shipping companies. We do not collect and incur shipping and
handling costs to be capitalized.
INVENTORIES
Our inventories are made up 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
our control. We may maintain an allowance for inventories for
potentially excess and obsolete inventories and inventories that are
carried at costs that are higher than their estimated net realizable
values.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. We provide for depreciation
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as
follows:
Computers and software 5 years
Machinery and equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains or
losses on the sale of property and equipment are reflected in the
statements of operations.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS - LICENSES AND CERTIFICATIONS
Licenses are stated at cost and are amortized using the straight-line
method over the license periods of five years or life of the license.
Certifications are stated at cost and are amortized using the
straight-line method over the certification periods of three years or
life of the certifications
14
VALUATION ON INTANGIBLE AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
"Accounting for Impairment on Disposal of Long-lived Assets", 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 is less than its carrying
amount.
For the year ended June 30, 2008, we wrote off intangible assets of
CDU-550 test certifications in the amount of $171,280, resulting in a
total loss of $73,171, as these certifications were deemed impaired due
to their inability to continue to generate income from operations and
positive cash flow in future periods.
WARRANTIES
We do not allow the right of return on product sales but provide a
factory warranty for one year from the shipment, which is covered by
our vendor. These products are shipped directly from our vendor to our
customers. As a result, we do not accrue any warranty expenses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
We have an agreement with C-Motech for the manufacturing of our
products, including services of component procurement, design,
development, final assembly, testing, quality control, fulfillment and
delivery of these products. As a result, we do not accrue any
significant research and development costs, primarily made up of
developmental activities relating to our products.
ADVERTISING AND MARKETING COSTS
We expense the costs of advertising and marketing as incurred. We
incurred $1,370,125 and $302,522 of marketing and advertising expenses
for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase
was primarily due to the increase in sales and marketing effort for the
year ended June 30, 2008, and we had an increase in sales commission
expenses of $897,746 and an increase in marketing expenses of $169,857
for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to the corresponding period
of 2007. The costs incurred by us for these marketing and promotional
activities were included within advertising and marketing expenses in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Emerging
Issues Task Force, or EIFT, Issue No. 01-9, ACCOUNTING FOR
CONSIDERATION GIVEN BY A VENDOR TO A CUSTOMER (INCLUDING A RESELLER OF
THE VENDOR'S PRODUCT), or EITF No. 01-9, which provides guidance on the
application of generally accepted accounting principles to selected
recognition issues on PAYMENTS FROM A VENDOR TO A CUSTOMER.
INCOME TAXES
We adopted the provisions of FASB interpretation ("FIN") No. 48,
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of
FASB statement No. 109," 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 FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the
income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is
more-likely-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing
authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if
it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.
15
We recognize federal and state tax liabilities or assets based on our
estimate of taxes payable to or refundable by tax authorities in the
current fiscal year. We also recognize federal and state tax
liabilities or assets based on our estimate of future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A
valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that we
will not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax
assets.
Income tax provision from continuing operations for the years ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 consists of the following:
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
---------------------
2008 2007
-------- --------
Current income taxes expense:
Federal $433,067 $ 26,409
State 156,382 8,781

589,449 35,190
-------- --------
Deferred income taxes expense (benefits): -- --
-------- --------
Provision for income taxes $589,449 $ 35,190
======== ========
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:
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30
--------------------------
2008 2007
----------- -----------
Current deferred tax asset(liabilities):
Net operating losses $ 170,883 $ --
Other, net 16,493 151,868
Non-current deferred tax assets (liabilities):
Net operating losses 2,011,633 3,285,042

Other, net (4,477) (60,357)

Total deferred tax assets 2,224,728 3,407,549
Less valuation allowance (2,224,728) (3,407,549)
----------- -----------
Net deferred tax asset $ -- $ --
=========== ===========
The significant component of the deferred tax asset (liability) at June
30, 2008 and 2007 was a federal net operating loss carry-forward in the
amount of approximately $2,034,000 and $2,934,000, respectively, based
on a federal tax rate of 34%. SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation
allowance to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At June 30, 2008
and 2007, management believes that it is more likely than not that most
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and valuation
allowances for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset were
established to reduce the deferred tax assets to zero based on the
level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable
income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are
deductible.
16
As of June 30, 2008, we have federal net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $5,983,000 and state net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $1,676,000 for income tax purposes, with application
of IRC Section 382 limitation on net operating losses as result of the
Company's ownership change in a prior period. The Federal and state net
operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire from 2009 to 2026 and
2009 to 2016, respectively.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB interpretation ("FIN") No. 48,
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of FASB
statement No. 109," 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. In addition, FIN 48 provides
guidance on the derecognizing, classification, accounting in interim periods and
disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. We have currently adopted
and evaluated the impact, if any, that FIN 48 will have on our financial
statements. FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS". This standard provides
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard
also responds to investors' requests for expanded information about the extent
to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information
used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on
earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit)
assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not expand the use
of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. There are numerous previously issued
statements dealing with fair values that are amended by SFAS No. 157. SFAS No.
157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "THE FAIR VALUE OPTION
FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES--INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB
STATEMENT NO. 115". SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain
financial instruments and other items at fair value. Most of the provisions in
SFAS 159 are elective; however the amendment to SFAS 115, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN
INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES, applies to all entities with
available-for-sale securities. The fair value option established by SFAS 159
permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at
specified election dates. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses
are reported in earnings for items measured using the fair value option at each
subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. SFAS No. 159 and the amendments to
SFAS 115 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services
Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities ("EITF 07-3").
EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services
that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities be
deferred and capitalized and recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered
or the related services are performed. EITF 07-3 is effective, on a prospective
basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 07-3 is not
expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised), Business
Combinations ("SFAS No. 141(R)"). The standard changes the accounting for
business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in
consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent
consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies,
the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the
accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of
acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the
acquirer's income tax valuation allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited.
SFAS No. 141(R) is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
statements.
17
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51
("SFAS No. 160"). The standard changes the accounting for noncontrolling
(minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the
requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated
stockholders' equity, and the elimination of "minority interest" accounting in
results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests
reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises
the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent's controlling
ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. SFAS No. 160 is not expected
to have a material impact on our financial statements.
There are no other accounting standards issued as of September 22, 2008 that are
expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

======= ===== =====
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2007
NET SALES - Net sales increased by $24,338,209, or 234.4%, to
$34,723,299 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $10,385,090 for the
corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in demand for our CDMA USB modem products in the Caribbean and
South American countries. Our sales of CDMA USB modem products in the
Caribbean and South American countries increased by $19,562,558, or
337.9 %, to $25,352,232 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from
$5,789,674 for the corresponding period of 2007. Our sales of CDMA USB
modem products in North America also increased by $5,088,786, or
118.9%, to $9,367,836 for the year ended June 30, 2008, from $4,279,050
for the corresponding period of 2007. The overall net sales are
expected to continue to depend primarily on, among other thing, the
geographic region of our sales efforts and demand by our customers.
18
GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit margin increased by $4,998,924, or 185.5%,
to $7,694,284 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $2,695,360 for the
corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to the
increased sales volume of our CDMA USB modem products in the United
States, the Caribbean, and South American countries. Our sales of CDMA
USB modem products increased by $5,088,786, or 118.9%, in the Untied
States and by $19,562,558, or 337.9 %, in the Caribbean and South
American countries for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to the
corresponding period of 2007. Gross profit in terms of net sales
percentage as the percentage of gross profit was 22.2% for the year
ended June 30, 2008, compared to 26.0% for the corresponding period of
2007. The gross profit decrease in terms of net sales percentage was
primarily due to the increased sales of lower margin as a result of the
competitive pricing pressures on our sales prices.
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE - Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased by $1,917,644, or 138.7%, to
$3,300,070 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $1,382,426 for the
corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to the
increase in sales and marketing effort for the year ended June 30,
2008, resulting in not only increased sales and marketing expenses but
also increased salary and related expenditures, as our sales-force
increased. For the year ended June 30, 2008, we had an increase in
sales commission expenses of $897,746, an increase in other sales and
marketing expenses of $169,857, an increase in travel expenses of
$69,264, and an increase in payroll expenses of $559,735, compared to
the corresponding period of 2007.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET - The net amount of other income increased
by $89,795, or 401.7%, to $112,149 for the year ended June 30, 2008
from $22,354 for the corresponding period of 2007. The increase was
primarily due to increased interest income of $135,094, resulting from
the increase in our average cash, for the year ended June 30, 2008. For
the year ended June 30, 2008, we had an increase in interest income of
$96,579, an increase in other income of $46,474, and an increase in the
loss of $54,004 from the write-off of intangible assets, compared to
the corresponding period of 2007.
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
NET SALES - Net sales increased by $9,382,137, or 935.5%, to
$10,385,090 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,002,953 for the
corresponding period of 2006. The primary increase was due to sales of
our CDMA USB modem products to a new carrier customer in North America,
in the amount of $4,279,050 for the year ended June 30, 2007, as well
as a strong increase in demand for our CDMA EV-DO data products in the
Caribbean and South American countries. Our sales of CDMA EV-DO data
products in the Caribbean and South American countries were $5,789,674
for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $753,130 for the
corresponding period of 2006, an increase of $5,036,544, or 668.8%.
GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit margin increased by $2,370,562, or 729.9%,
to $2,695,360 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $324,798 for the
corresponding period of 2006. Gross profit in terms of net sales
percentage as the percentage of gross profit was 26.0% for the year
ended June 30, 2007, compared to 32.4% for the corresponding period of
2006. The gross profit decrease in terms of net sales percentage was
due to one-time commission revenue recognized as a non-refundable
brokerage fee in the amount of $57,280, and sales of products that were
provided by our vendors at no cost as part of initial seed stock
incentive in the amount of $48,860 for the year ended June 30, 2006.
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE - Selling, general, and
administrative expenses increased by $800,507, or 137.6%, to $1,382,426
for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $581,919 for the corresponding
period of 2006. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in
sales and marketing efforts, which included hiring new personnel to
expand our marketing and customer support functions, which increased
salary and related expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2007, we had
an increase in sales commission expense of $239,410, an increase in
marketing expense of $54,850, an increase in travel expense of $71,425,
and an increase in payroll expense of $291,475, compared to the
corresponding period of 2006.
19
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT - Research and development expenses decreased
by $36,300, or 100.0%, to nil for the year ended June 30, 2007 from
$36,300 for the corresponding period of 2006. We incurred research and
development expense for design of Global Standard for Mobile
Communications, or GSM, cellular phones, for the year ended June 30,
2006. For the year ended June 30, 2007, we did not incur research and
development expense, as we discontinued GSM products and have
contracted out our research and development of CDMA USB modem products
to C-Motech Co. Ltd, a designer and original equipment manufacturer
("OEMs") of our wireless broadband modems and modules located in South
Korea.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET - The net of other income (expense)
increased by $5,723 or 34.41%, to income of $22,354 for the year ended
June 30, 2007 from income of $16,631 for the corresponding period of
2006. The increase was due to increase in interest income of $38,515,
offset by a loss of $19,934 from write-off of fixed assets and
intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal liquidity requirements are for working capital and
capital expenditures. We fund our liquidity requirements with cash on hand, cash

LEASES
We lease our administrative facilities under a non-cancelable operating
lease that expires on August 31, 2011. In addition to the minimum
annual rental commitments, the lease provides for periodic cost of
living increases in the base rent and payment of common area costs.
Rent expense related to the operating lease was $62,848 and $59,420 for
the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We lease a corporate housing facility for our vendors under a
non-cancelable operating lease that expires on October 2, 2008. Rent
expense related to the operating lease was $17,829 and $2,770 for the
years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We lease one automobile under an operating lease that expires on July
22, 2009. The related lease expense was $6,452 and $6,795 for the years
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT
Our facility is located in San Diego, California. Manufacturing of our
products has been contracted out to C-Motech Co. Ltd. ("C-Motech"), located in
South Korea.
In January 2005, we entered into an agreement with C-Motech for the
manufacture of the products. Under the manufacturing and supply agreement,
C-Motech provides us with services including all licenses, component
procurement, final assembly, testing, quality control, fulfillment and
after-sale service. The Agreement provides exclusive rights to market and sell
our CDMA wireless data products in countries in North America, the Caribbean,
and South America. Furthermore, the Agreement provides that we are responsible
for marketing, sales, field testing, and certifications of these products to
wireless service operators and other commercial buyers within a designated
territory, and C-Motech is responsible for design, development, testing,
certification, and completion of these products. Under the Agreement, products
include all access devices designed with Qualcomm's MSM 5100, 5500, 6500, and
6800 chipset solutions provided or designed by C-Motech or both companies. Both
companies own the rights to the products: USB modems, Card Bus, PCI Bus and
Module designed with MSM 5500 dual band products. On January 30, 2007, C-Motech
also certified that we have the exclusive right to sell CDU-680 EVDO USB modems
directly and indirectly in these territories.
The initial term of the Agreement was for two years, commencing on
January 5, 2005. The agreement automatically renews for successive one year
periods, unless either party provides written notice to terminate at least sixty
days prior to the end of the term. This agreement may be amended or supplemented
by mutual agreement of the parties, as is necessary to document the addition of
any new products.
FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
For the next twelve months, we expect to incur approximately $1.0
million to $2.0 million for capital expenditures and the acquisition of
additional certifications, excluding non-cash acquisitions.
We believe we will be able to fund our future cash requirements for
operations from our cash available, operating cash flows and issuance of equity
securities. We believe these sources of funds will be sufficient to continue our
operations and planned capital expenditures. However, we may be required to
raise additional debt or equity capital if we are unable to generate sufficient
cash flow from operation to fund the continued expansion of our sales and to
satisfy the related working capital requirements for next twelve months. Our
ability to satisfy such obligations also depends upon our future performance,
which in turn is subject to general economic conditions and regional risks, and
to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, including
factors beyond our control. See Item 1A, "Risk Factors." included in this
report.
21
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to
meet our obligations and commitments, we will be required to refinance or
restructure our indebtedness or raise additional debt or equity capital.
Additionally, we may be required to sell material assets or operations or delay
or forego expansion opportunities. We might not be able to affect these
alternative strategies on satisfactory terms, if at all.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
The financial statements and the supplementary financial information
required by this Item and included in this report are listed in the Index to

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They are designed to help ensure that material
information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our
principal executive and financial officers, in a manner that allows for timely
decisions regarding required disclosures; and (2) recorded, processed,
summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and within the time periods specified by the SEC.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based
on such evaluation, which included a determination that the material weakness in
internal control over financial that existed as of June 30, 2007 and was
previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2007 had been remediated, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective for their intended purpose described above as of June 30, 2008.
(b) MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting, and for performing an assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30,
2008. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or
15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process
designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and
principal financial officers and effected by the Company's board of directors,
management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
22
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.
Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008 based
upon criteria in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on this
assessment, management believes that the Company's internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2008 based on those criteria
issued by COSO.
This report does not include an attestation report of the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in
this report.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
General Philosophy. We compensate our executive officers through a mix
of base salary and bonus. We plan to add an equity incentive through adoption of
a Stock Option Plan in fiscal 2009. 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
assured 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 and non-executive officers the
ability to earn cash bonuses based on the achievement of performance targets.
The performance targets are set annually by the Board of Directors, and bonuses
are awarded to executive officers and non-executive officers on a quarterly
basis. The actual amounts of cash bonuses to executive officers and
non-executive officers are in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors For
fiscal 2008, the performance targets were based on achieving revenue and
operating income targets.
Severance Benefits. We are generally an at will employer, and have no
employment agreements with severance benefits.
Retirement Plans. We do not maintain any retirement plans.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Board of Directors is responsible for setting and overseeing the
administration of the policies governing annual compensation of our executive
officers. The Board of Directors reviews the performance and compensation levels
for executive officers, including our chief executive officer, and sets salary
levels. The Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed with our management
the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" included earlier in this Annual
Report. Based upon that review and analysis, the Board of Directors determined
that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Franklin Wireless Corp.
San Diego, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Franklin Wireless Corp. as of
June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years ended June 30,
2008, 2007 and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Franklin Wireless Corp. as of
June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FRANKLIN WIRELESS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We design and sell broadband high speed wireless data communication
products such as 3G wireless modules and modems. We focus on wireless broadband
USB modems, which provide a flexible way for wireless subscribers to connect to
the wireless broadband network with any laptop, tablet PC or desktop USB port
without a PC card slot. The 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 products are based on Evolution Data Optimized technology ("EV-DO
technology") of Code Division Multiple Access ("CDMA") and High-Speed Packet
Access technology ("HSPA technology") of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
("WCDMA"), which are wireless radio broadband data standards adopted by many
CDMA and WCDMA mobile service providers, and enable end users to send and
receive email with large file attachments, play interactive games, receive, send
and download high resolution picture, video, and music contents.
We market our products through two channels: directly to wireless
operators, and indirectly through strategic partners and distributors. Our
global customer base extends from the United States to the Caribbean and South
American countries. Our Universal Serial Bus ("USB") modems are certified by
Sprint, Alltel, Cellular South, NTELOS, Cincinnati Bell, Mobi PCS, Qwest and ACS
in the United States, by IUSACELL in Mexico, by Telefonica and Movilnet in
Venezuela, by Centennial in Puerto Rico, by Alegro in Ecuador and by TSTT in
Trinidad and Tobago. We have strategic marketing relationships with several of
these customers.
Since we launched three new products, CDMA Revision A USB modem
CDU-680, CDMA Revision 0 CDU-650 USB modem, and CDMA Revision 0 CDX-650 Express
card modem in 2007, we have continued to add new features and functionality to
our products to enhance value and ease of use that our products provide to our
customers and end users. In 2008, we additionally launched the CGU-628 HSDPA USB
modem, which provides a flexible way for users to connect to high-speed downlink
packet access network, and the CDM-650 Stand-alone Revision 0 USB modem, which
provides internet connection for users who are in remote locations where there
are not cable or DSL services.
For the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the revenue
recognized from sales of our products was $34,723,299, $10,385,090, and
$1,002,953, respectively.
NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On October 30, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the dissolution of
its only subsidiary, ARG, which has been inactive since August 2003. As a part
of the dissolution, we assumed a note payable of $434,000, a note payable.
During the year ended June 30, 2008, we repaid $100,000 on this note, and the
remaining balance amounted to $334,000 at June 30, 2008. The subsidiary did not
have revenue, expense, asset or component of stockholders' equity as of June 30,
2008 and June 30, 2007, and for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SEGMENT REPORTING
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," 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 operate in a single business segment
consisting of sale of wireless access products.
F-7
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements 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
revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include useful lives
of intangible and long-lived assets.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue from products sales 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 product to the customers. We do not allow
the right of return on product sales but provide a factory warranty for
one year from the shipment, which is covered by our vendor.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flow, we consider all highly
liquid investments purchased with original maturities of six months or
less to be cash equivalents.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COST
Most of shipping and handling costs are paid by the customers directly
to the shipping companies. We do not collect and incur shipping and
handling costs to be capitalized.
INVENTORIES
Our inventories are made up 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
our control. We may maintain an allowance for inventories for
potentially excess and obsolete inventories and inventories that are
carried at costs that are higher than their estimated net realizable
values.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. We provide for depreciation
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as
follows:
Computers and software 5 years
Machinery and equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains or
losses on the sale of property and equipment are reflected in the
statements of operations.
F-8
INTANGIBLE ASSETS - LICENSES AND CERTIFICATIONS
Licenses are stated at cost and are amortized using the straight-line
method over the license periods of five years or life of the licenses.
Certifications are stated at cost and are amortized using the
straight-line method over the certification periods of three years or
life of the certifications.
VALUATION ON INTANGIBLE AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
"Accounting for Impairment on Disposal of Long-lived Assets", 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 is less than its carrying
amount.
For the year ended June 30, 2008, we wrote off intangible assets of CDG
test certifications in the amount of $171,280, resulting in a total
loss of $73,171, as these certifications were deemed impaired due to
their inability to continue to generate income from operations and
positive cash flow in future periods.
WARRANTIES
We do not allow the right of return on product sales but provides a
factory warranty for one year from the shipment, which is covered by
our vendor. These products are shipped directly from our vendor to our
customers. As a result, we do not accrue any warranty expenses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
We have an agreement with C-Motech for the manufacturing of our
products, including services of component procurement, design,
development, final assembly, testing, quality control, fulfillment and
delivery of these products. As a result, we do not accrue any
significant research and development costs, primarily made up of
developmental activities relating to our products.
ADVERTISING AND MARKETING COSTS
We expense the costs of advertising and marketing as incurred. We
incurred $1,370,125 and $302,522 of marketing and advertising expenses
for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase
was primarily due to the increase in sales and marketing effort for the
year ended June 30, 2008, and we had an increase in sales commission
expenses of $897,746 and an increase in marketing expenses of $169,857
for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to the corresponding period
of 2007. The costs incurred by us for these marketing and promotional
activities were included within advertising and marketing expenses in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Emerging
Issues Task Force, or EIFT, Issue No. 01-9, ACCOUNTING FOR
CONSIDERATION GIVEN BY A VENDOR TO A CUSTOMER (INCLUDING A RESELLER OF
THE VENDOR'S PRODUCT), or EITF No. 01-9, which provides guidance on the
application of generally accepted accounting principles to selected
recognition issues on PAYMENTS FROM A VENDOR TO A CUSTOMER.
F-9
INCOME TAXES
We adopted the provisions of FASB interpretation ("FIN") No. 48,
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of
FASB statement No. 109," 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 FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the
income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is
more-likely-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing
authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if
it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.
We recognize federal and state tax liabilities or assets based on our
estimate of taxes payable to or refundable by tax authorities in the
current fiscal year. We also recognize federal and state tax
liabilities or assets based on our estimate of future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A
valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that we
will not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax
assets.
The significant component of the deferred tax asset (liability) at June
30, 2008 and 2007 was federal net operating loss carry-forward in the
amount of approximately $2,034,000 and $2,934,000, respectively, based
on federal tax rate of 34%. SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance
to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. At June 30, 2008 and 2007,
management believes that it is more likely than not that most of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized, and valuation allowances for
the full amount of the net deferred tax asset were established to
reduce the deferred tax assets to zero based on the level of historical
taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the
periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. As of June 30,
2008, we have federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$5,983,000 and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$1,676,000 for income tax purposes with application of IRC Section 382
limitation on net operating losses as result of the Company's ownership
change in prior period. The Federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards will begin to expire from 2009 to 2026 and 2009 to 2016,
respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
We report earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earning per
share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the fiscal year. Diluted earnings per share include
the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and
warrants which are convertible to common shares.
On January 8, 2008, a 1 for 70 reverse stock split was implemented in
connection with the reincorporation, under which each shareholder
received one share for each 70 shares held. As result of the reverse
stock split, a conversion was made to the weighted average number of
shares outstanding for the fiscal years of 2008, 2007 and 2006 that
took into consideration the effect of a reverse split on the total
number of shares outstanding, in order to compare the current weighted
average number of shares outstanding to its historical numbers in a
consistent form of valuation. In order to adjust a weighted average
number of shares outstanding of the Company, the pre-split outstanding
shares were divided by the split ratio.
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 provides for an allowance for
potential credit losses as deemed necessary.
F-10
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. Three customers accounted for 37.0%, 34.3%, and 13.3% of
total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2008, and had related
account receivables in the amount of $611,820, $3,250,000, and $0, or
13.5%, 71.7% and 0% of total account receivables at June 30, 2008,
respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2007, two customers accounted
for 41.2% and 38.6% of revenues and had related accounts receivable in
the amount of $12,025 and $1,800, or 26.8% and 4.0% of total accounts
receivable at June 30, 2007, respectively.
We purchase our wireless products from one design and manufacturing
company located in South Korea. If this 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 our revenue. We purchased wireless data
products in the amount of $27,090,347 and $7,565,040 for the years
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and had related accounts
payable of $3,697,893 and $3,875 at June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. However, there were no significant delays, capacity
constraints, or quality control problems that negatively impacted the
Company's revenue during those fiscal years.
We maintain our cash accounts with established commercial banks. Such
cash deposits periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation insured limit of $100,000 for each account. However, we do
not anticipate any loss on excess deposits.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB interpretation ("FIN") No. 48,
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of
FASB statement No. 109," 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.
In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on the derecognizing,
classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure
requirements for uncertain tax positions. We have currently adopted and
evaluated the impact, if any, that FIN 48 will have on our financial
statements. FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on our
financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS". This standard
provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities. The standard also responds to investors' requests for
expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets
and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair
value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The
standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or
liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not expand the use
of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. There are
numerous previously issued statements dealing with fair values that are
amended by SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a
material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION
FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES--INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT
OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to
measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value.
Most of the provisions in SFAS 159 are elective; however the amendment
to SFAS 115, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY
SECURITIES, applies to all entities with available-for-sale securities.
The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits all entities to
choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election
dates. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses are
reported in earnings for items measured using the fair value option at
each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the
Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. SFAS No.
159 and the amendments to SFAS 115 are not expected to have a material
impact on our financial statements.
F-11
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or
Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities
("EITF 07-3"). EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments
for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research
and development activities be deferred and capitalized and recognized
as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are
performed. EITF 07-3 is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 07-3 is not expected to
have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised), Business
Combinations ("SFAS No. 141(R)"). The standard changes the accounting
for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares
issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of
contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and
loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research
and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring
cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs
and the recognition of changes in the acquirer's income tax valuation
allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. SFAS No.
141(R) is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No.
51 ("SFAS No. 160"). The standard changes the accounting for
noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial
statements including the requirements to classify noncontrolling
interests as a component of consolidated stockholders' equity, and the
elimination of "minority interest" accounting in results of operations
with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests reported as part
of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the
accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent's controlling
ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. SFAS
No. 160 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
statements.
There are no other accounting standards issued as of September 22, 2008
that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.

Accounts receivable at June 30, 2008 and 2007 consisted of receivables
from customers in the amounts of $4,534,069 and $44,915, respectively.

CDG test certifications are required to launch and market new CDMA
wireless data products with carriers in the countries located in North America,
the Caribbean, and South America. Certifications are issued as being a qualifier
of CDG1 (CDMA Development Group Stage 1), CDG 2 and CDG 3. The estimated life of
CDG test certifications are three years, based on the life of the CDMA wireless
data product. Certifications have a life of three years or the life of the CDG
test.

NOTE 14 - INCOME TAXES
F-16
We adopted the provisions of FASB interpretation ("FIN") No. 48,
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an interpretation of
FASB statement No. 109," 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 FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the
income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is
more-likely-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing
authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if
it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.
We recognize federal and state tax liabilities or assets based on our
estimate of taxes payable to or refundable by tax authorities in the
current fiscal year. We also recognize federal and state tax
liabilities or assets based on our estimate of future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A
valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that we
will not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax
assets.
Income tax provision from continuing operations for the years ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 consists of the following:
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
---------------------
2008 2007
-------- --------
Current income taxes expense:
Federal $433,067 $ 26,409
State 156,382 8,781
-------- --------
Deferred income taxes expense (benefits): 589,449 35,190
-------- --------
Provision for income taxes $589,449 $ 35,190
======== ========
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:
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30
--------------------------
2008 2007
----------- -----------
Current deferred tax asset(liabilities):
Net operating losses $ 170,883 $ --
Other, net 16,493 151,868
Non-current deferred tax assets (liabilities):
Net operating losses 2,011,633 3,285,042
Credit 30,196 30,996
Other, net (4,477) (60,357)
----------- -----------
Total deferred tax assets 2,224,728 3,407,549
Less valuation allowance (2,224,728) (3,407,549)
----------- -----------
Net deferred tax asset $ -- $ --
=========== ===========
The significant component of the deferred tax asset (liability) at June
30, 2008 and 2007 was federal net operating loss carry-forward in the
amount of approximately $2,034,000 and $2,934,000, respectively, based
on federal tax rate of 34%. SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance
to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the
F-17
deferred tax assets will not be realized. At June 30, 2008 and 2007,
management believes that it is more likely than not that most of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized, and valuation allowances for
the full amount of the net deferred tax asset were established to
reduce the deferred tax assets to zero based on the level of historical
taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the
periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible.
As of June 30, 2008, we have federal net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $5,983,000 and state net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $1,676,000 for income tax purposes with application of
IRC Section 382 limitation on net operating losses as result of the
Company's ownership change in prior period. The Federal and state net
operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire from 2009 to 2026 and
2009 to 2016, respectively.
NOTE 15 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

stock option ("NSO") for key employees and directors of the Company, to
encourage a proprietary interest in the Company, to encourage such key employees
to remain in the employ of the Company, and to attract new employees with
outstanding qualifications.

order to obtain required approvals and qualifications as planned. However, as of
September 22, 2008, the Stock Option Plan has not been adopted.
