Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and a subsidiary with a majority voting interest of 51.8% (48.2% is owned by non-controlling interests) as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests.

Non-controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary

Non-controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary

 

As of March 31, 2015, the non-controlling interest was $633,078, which represents a $388,270 increase from $244,808 as of June 30, 2014. The increase was due to the net income of subsidiary of $804,874 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, of which 48.2% was attributable to the non-controlling interests.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments.  We identify our operating segments based on how management internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility.  We have one reportable segment, consisting of the sale of wireless access products.

 

We generate revenues from four geographic areas, consisting of the United States, the Caribbean and South America, EMEA and Asia. The following enterprise-wide disclosure is prepared on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

The following table contains certain financial information by geographic area:

Estimates

Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. We invest our excess cash into financial instruments which are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds and certificates of deposit.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Based upon our review of our collection history as well as the current balances associated with all significant customers and associated invoices, we do not believe an allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” 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 products to customers or when the products are received by the customers in accordance with shipping or delivery terms. We provide a warranty for one year from the shipment date, which is covered by our vendors pursuant to purchase agreements. Any net warranty related expenditures made by us have not historically been material. Under our sales return policy, customers may generally return products that are under warranty for repair or replacement.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold

 

All costs associated with our contract manufacturers, as well as distribution, fulfillment and repair services are included in our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold also includes amortization expense associated with capitalized product development costs associated with complete technology.

Capitalized Product Development Costs

Capitalized Product Development Costs

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” includes software that is part of a product or process to be sold to a customer and shall be accounted for under Subtopic 985-20.  Our products contain embedded software internally developed by our Korea-based subsidiary, Franklin Technology Inc. (“FTI”), which is an integral part of these products because it allows the various components of the products to communicate with each other and the products are clearly unable to function without this coding.

 

The costs of product development that are capitalized once technological feasibility is determined (noted as Technology in progress in the Intangible Assets table) include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Related licenses and certification costs are also capitalized. We determine that technological feasibility for our products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved. Once the products are available for general release to our customers, we cease capitalizing the product development costs and any additional costs, if any, are expensed. The capitalized product development costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis using the greater of straight-line amortization or the ratio of the current gross revenues to the current and anticipated future gross revenues. The amortization begins when the products are available for general release to our customers.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, capitalized product development costs in progress were $0 and $39,545, respectively, and these amounts are included in intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred $0 and $81,591 in capitalized product development costs, and such amounts are primarily comprised of certifications and licenses. All expenses incurred before technological feasibility is reached are expensed and included in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

 

Costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were $722,781 and $696,501 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $2,238,684 and $2,075,644 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Warranties

Warranties

 

We provide a warranty for one year which is covered by our vendors and manufacturers under purchase agreements between the Company and the vendors. In general, these products are shipped directly from our vendors to our customers. As a result, we believe we do not have any net warranty exposure and do not accrue any warranty expenses. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material net warranty expenditures.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Costs associated with product shipping and handling are expensed as incurred.  Shipping and handling costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), were $201,249 and $129,862 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $876,827 and $263,104 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories

 

Our inventories consist 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 the control of the Company. We may write down our inventory value for potential obsolescence and excess inventory.  As of March 31, 2015 we have recorded an inventory reserve in the amount of $60,000 for inventory that we have identified as obsolete or slow-moving. As of June 30, 2014, there was no reserve for obsolete or slow-moving inventories.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Machinery 6 years
Office equipment 5 years
Molds 3 years
Vehicles 5 years
Computers and software 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Facilities 5 years

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and certain intangible assets were recorded in connection with the FTI acquisition in October 2009, and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.”  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired.  Intangible assets are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and any related impairment losses are recognized in earnings when identified. No impairment was recognized during the periods ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," 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 asset; 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 are less than its carrying amount.

 

As of March 31, 2015, we are not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Based on the assessment, management believes that the Company is more likely than not to fully realize our deferred tax assets. As such, no valuation allowance has been established for the Company’s deferred tax assets. However, the Company may need to establish a valuation allowance should it incur taxable losses in the future.

 

We adopted ASC 740-10-25 on January 1, 2007, which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. We must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. We did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-25.

 

As of March 31, 2015, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. We recorded an income tax benefit of $249,000 and $39,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively, and a decrease in prepaid income tax assets of $0 and $147,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.

Concentrations

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 provide for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. No reserve was required or recorded for any of the periods presented.

 

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. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, sales to our two largest customers accounted for 62.8% and 12.5% of our consolidated net sales and 78.9% and 10.8% of our accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2015. In the same period in 2014, sales to our three largest customers accounted for 31.6%, 16.4%, and 10.6% of our consolidated net sales and 56.1%, 14.9%, and 1.4% of our accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2014. No other customers accounted for more than ten percent of total net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, we purchased the majority of our wireless data products from one manufacturing company located in Asia. If these manufacturing companies 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 the Company's revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, we purchased wireless data products from this manufacturer in the amount of $22,691,229, or 77.9% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $6,392,081 as of March 31, 2015. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we purchased wireless data products from three manufacturers in the amount of $11,834,088, or 70.6% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $4,313,452 as of March 31, 2014.

 

We maintain our cash accounts with established commercial banks.  Such cash deposits exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of $250,000 for each account.  However, the Company does not anticipate any losses on excess deposits.
