AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business and Organization Franklin Telecommunications Corp. ("Franklin") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") manufacture and distribute data and telephony communications, access and connectivity products for IP Telephony networks, T-1 and wide-area networks which provide IP Telephony and Internet services through its majority-owned subsidiary, FNet Corp. ("FNet"). The Company's customers are located predominantly in the United States, Canada and some overseas. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Franklin Telecommunications Corp. and its wholly owned or majority owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Impairment of long-lived assets The company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the year ended June 30, 2001, many assets were considered impaired and the carrying amounts were reduced significantly. During the six months ended December 31, 2001, the Company determined that no assets were further impaired. 8 Loss Per Common Share The Company calculates loss per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No 128, " Earnings per Share." Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The potential common shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for all periods presented because the effect would have been anti-dilutive: Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is required when it is less likely than not that the Company will be able to realize all or portion of its deferred tax assets.

Management does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. NOTE 5 RECENT SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES During the six months ended December 31, 2001, the Company sold 25,000 units to a current shareholder of the Company for $25,000. A unit consisted of 20 shares of common stock of the Company plus a warrant to purchase 10 shares of common stock for $.001, exercisable after March 25, 2002 if the ten day average of the stock price is under $.25 per share. The Company also received $50,000 in exchange for a convertible note from its Executive Chairman. The note bears interest at 6% and can be converted at $.05 per share. An employee of the Company has an option to purchase 900,000 shares at $0.05 per share in lieu of salary for the period ending 12-31-01. Two directors of the Company have options to purchase 1,000,000 shares each at $0.05 per share. The Company has agreed to issue options to the Executive Chairman in lieu of salary. The Chairman's stated annual salary is $150,000. He will receive 750,000 options at $.05 per share in lieu of salary for the period ending 12-31-01. The Company believes all such sales were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. Certain statements constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 NET SALES. Net sales decreased by $362,000 or 75%, from $481,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2000 to $119,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2001. The decrease is due both to a reduction of DVG hardware systems sales and reduced service revenue, primarily from the Balkan operation. The revenue mix for the three months ended December 31, 2001 consisted of 36% Telephone and Internet services revenue and 64% hardware product sales. GROSS LOSS. Gross loss increased as a percentage of net sales to a loss of 51% for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from a gross loss of 37% of net sales for the corresponding period of 2000. The gross loss percentage increase can be attributed to fixed hardware and service overhead expenses spread over a smaller sales base. 10 OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses decreased by $1,234,000, or 80%, from $1,544,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2000 to $310,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced salaries. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest income decreased by $8,000, from $8,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2000 to zero in the three months ended December 31, 2001, due to decreased cash balances available to earn interest. Interest expense was $7,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, with $1,000 interest during the same period in 2000. Other components of other income (expense) were immaterial and were due to various non operating items. SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 NET SALES. Net sales decreased by $692,000, or 76%, from $ 912,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2000 to $220,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2001. The decrease is due both to a reduction of DVG hardware systems sales and reduced service revenue. The revenue mix for the six months ended December 31, 2001 consisted of 70% Telephone and Internet services revenue and 30% hardware product sales. GROSS LOSS. Gross loss increased as a percentage of net sales to a loss of 64% for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from a gross loss of 41% of net sales for the corresponding period of 2000. The gross loss percentage increase can be attributed to fixed hardware and service overhead expenses spread over a smaller sales base. OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses decreased by $2,551,000, or 78%, from $3,255,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2000 to $704,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced salaries and a reduction of facilities. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest income decreased by $15,000, from $15,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2000 to zero in the six months ended December 31, 2001, due to decreased cash balances available to earn interest. Interest expense increased by $12,000, from ($2,000) in the six months ended December 31, 2000 to ($14,000) in the six months ended December 31, 2001. Other components of other income (expense) were immaterial and were due to various non operating items. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15,000 as of December 31, 2001. The sources of cash were provided primarily by issuance of equity securities, and to a lesser extent, collections of sales revenues. The Company has relied on sales of new shares and the exercise of warrants and options to supplement the funding of operations for an extended period of time. Both Franklin Telecom and FNet have continued to experience losses. The Company has not currently been able to raise sufficient capital from sales of additional shares. Audit opinions for the past two fiscal years have advised that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently in a survival mode. As of January 31, 2002 it held $23,000 of cash or cash equivalents. Current monthly cash consumption is approximately $50,000. Sales from FTC and the FNet division are approximately $25,000 per month. Management is currently deferring salary or taking options in lieu of salary. Recent non-operating cash funding has been contributed by the Company's chairman in the form of convertible debt. 11 The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to meet the Company's presently anticipated working capital needs during the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. Although the Company continues the effort to raise cash through sales of existing inventory and anticipates future private placements of its securities, there is no assurance that this effort will be successful. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the values of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company is exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of its business due to its use of certain financial instruments as well as transacting in various foreign currencies. Interest rate risk. At December 30, 2001, the Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled approximately $15,000. Since the Company typically does not purchase fixed-income securities, its cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant interest rate risk. The Company places substantially all of its interest bearing investments with major financial institutions and by policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Additionally, the Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading, profit or speculative purposes. Equity Price Risk The Company does not invest in available-for-sale equity securities, and is not subject to significant equity price risk. Foreign Exchange Rate Risk The Company operates internationally and sometimes receives payments in local currencies. This can expose the Company to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates to the extent that transactions are not denominated in the U.S. dollar. As a result the Company faces the risk that the foreign currencies may decline in value as compared to the U.S. dollar, resulting in a foreign currency translation loss. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In November 2001, NEC filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging breach of contract for $40,000 still due on a lease for a PBX. This action is still pending. In November 2001, two former employees filed a claim with the California labor board, claiming certain vacation and overtime was not paid to them. In January 2002, the labor board issued a judgment in the amount of $79,115. The Company has appealed the ruling and intends to contest it vigorously. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS During the three months ended December 31, 2001, the Company sold 25,000 units to a current shareholder of the Company for $25,000. A unit consisted of 20 shares of common stock of the Company plus a warrant to purchase 10 shares of common stock for $.001, exercisable after March 25, 2002 if the ten day average of the stock price is under $.25 per share. The Company also received $50,000 in exchange for a convertible note from its Executive Chairman. The note bears interest at 6% and can be converted at $.05 per share. 12 An employee of the Company has an option to purchase 900,000 shares at $0.05 per share in lieu of salary for the period ending 12-31-01. Two directors of the Company have options to purchase 1,000,000 shares each at $0.05 per share. The Company has agreed to issue options to the Executive Chairman in lieu of salary. The Chairman's stated annual salary is $150,000. He is to receive options to purchase 750,000 shares at $.05 per share in lieu of salary for the three months ending 12-31-01. ITEM 3.
