Franklin Wireless Announces Sales Growth of More Than 300% in the Second Fiscal Quarter

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - February 12, 2008) - Franklin Wireless Corp. (OTCBB: FKWL), a developer and marketer of wireless broadband communications devices and applications, announced strong results for the second fiscal quarter of 2008, driven by brisk sales of mobile broadband USB modem products in the U.S., Caribbean and South America.

The company reported sales increased 336.4 percent to $7.8 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2007, compared with $1.8 million in sales during the corresponding period of 2006. Net income also rose in the quarter to $1.07 million from $213,659 in the second fiscal quarter 2006.

Sales during the quarter were driven by strong demand for CDMA USB products -- namely the CDU-680, CDU-650 and CDX-650 USB modem products that were introduced during the middle of 2007.
