Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases On September 9, 2015, we signed a lease for new office space consisting of approximately 12,775 square feet, located in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $23,115, which commenced on October 28, 2015. In addition to monthly rent, the new lease includes payment for certain common area costs. The term of the lease for the new office space was four years from the lease commencement date and was then extended by an additional fifty months, to December 31, 2023. Our facility is covered by an appropriate level of insurance and we believe it to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs. Our Korea-based subsidiary, FTI leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space, located in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $8,000 that expires on August 31, 2021. Beginning on June 12, 2015, FTI leased additional office space consisting of approximately 2,682 square feet, also located in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $2,700 that expires on August 31, 2021. We lease one corporate housing facility primarily for our employees who travel, under a non-cancelable operating lease that expires on September 4, 2020. Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $435,283 and $415,443, respectively. Future minimum payments under operating leases are as follows:
|  | Payments Due by June 30, |  |  |  |

As of June 30, 2020, we used discount rates of 4.0% and 2.8% in determining our operating lease liabilities for the office spaces in San Diego, California, and South Korea, respectively. These rates represented our incremental borrowing rates at that time. Short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are not capitalized. Both our San Diego and Korean office leases were extensions of previous leases and neither contains any further extension provisions. Future minimum payments under operating leases are as follows:
|  | Operating Leases |
Fiscal 2021 |  | $ | 439,657 |
Fiscal 2022 |  |  | 341,551 |

Litigation We are from time to time involved in certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect any material adverse outcome. We entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Anydata Corp. (“Anydata”) for the productACT233F Smart Link OBD device on May 5, 2017, for a minimum purchase commitment of 250,000 units. We have delivered approximately 25,000 units and 7,000 units during our second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2018, respectively, and an additional 18,000 units during our first quarter of fiscal 2019. Sales to Anydata were approximately $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2019. We have received information that Anydata may not be able to fulfill the entire purchase commitment for which parts have already been ordered with our main vendor, Quanta. Management believes that the Company will be able to supply some of the products to another customer and has received personal guarantees from the ownership group of Anydata. As of June 30, 2019, the remaining unfulfilled purchase commitment was approximately $3.1 million. The total product purchase commitment with Quanta was approximately $2.9 million. We have not recorded a receivable from Anydata, nor a liability owed to Quanta. Management believes that, at this time, a loss contingency is reasonably possible but not estimable as to how much ultimately would be paid to Quanta. As of June 30, 2020, we paid $100,000 for the right to call on inventory and recorded an additional $49,580 as a prepaid expense related to pricing adjustments, which has been agreed with Quanta for other products to ensure demand is met. As of June 30, 2020, there is a reasonable possibility we may incur a loss, however, the amount is not estimable at this time. COVID-19 In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States. On March 19, 2020, the Governor of California declared a health emergency and issued an order to close all nonessential businesses until further notice. As a maker of wireless connectivity devices, Franklin Wireless is deemed to be an essential business. Nonetheless, out of concern for our workers and pursuant to the government order, Franklin Wireless reduced the scope of its operations and, where possible, certain workers began telecommuting from their homes. The continued spread of COVID-19 may result in a period of business disruption, including delays or disruptions in our supply chain. The spread of COVID-19, or another infectious disease, could also negatively affect the operations at our third-party manufacturers, which could result in delays or disruptions in the supply of our products. While the Company expects this situation may increase demand for its products, the related impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Change of Control Agreements On September 21, 2009, we entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President, and Yun J. (David) Lee, our Chief Operating Officer. Each Change of Control Agreement provides for a lump sum payment to the officer in case of a change of control of the Company. The term includes the acquisition of Common Stock of the Company resulting in one person or company owning more than 50% of the outstanding shares, a significant change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company during any 12-month period, a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction resulting in the transfer of ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets. The Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim calls for a payment of $5 million upon a change of control, and the agreement with Mr. Lee calls for a payment of $2 million upon a change of control. The Board of Directors has approved extension of the Change of Control Agreements with Mr. Kim and Mr. Lee, through September 30, 2021. International Tariffs We believe that our products are currently exempt from international tariffs upon import from our manufacturers to the United States. If this were to change at any point, a tariff of 10%-25% of the purchase price would be imposed. If such tariffs are imposed, they could have a materially adverse effect on sales and operating results. Customer Indemnification 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.
