INFORMATION STATEMENT

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
INTRODUCTION
This Information Statement is being mailed or otherwise furnished to
shareholders of Franklin Wireless Corp., a California corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the prior receipt by the Company of approval by
written consent of the holders of a majority of the Company's Common Stock of a
proposal (the "Proposal") to approve an amendment (the "Amendment") to the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase the authorized
capitalization of the Company to 1,200,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
This Information Statement is being first sent to shareholders on or about
December , 2006. The Company anticipates that the Amendment will become
effective on or about January , 2007.
VOTE REQUIRED
The vote required to approve the Proposal was the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the Company's voting capital stock. Each holder of
Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held.
The record date for purposes of determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company, and for determining shareholders entitled
to vote, was the close of business on November 10, 2006 (the "Record Date"). As
of the Record Date, the Company had outstanding 897,040,050 shares of Common
Stock. Holders of the shares have no preemptive rights. All outstanding shares
are fully paid and nonassessable.
GENERAL
On September 11, 2006, the Board of Directors approved, subject to
shareholder approval, an Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
to increase the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to
issue from 900,000,000 to 1,200,000,000 shares,
On December 7, 2006, the Proposal was approved by written consent of
holders of 543,014,627 shares, constituting a majority of the Company's Common
Stock.
The proposal will be effectuated by amending paragraph (a) of Article 5 of
the Company's Articles of Incorporation to read as follows:
5. (a) The corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock,
designated "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock," respectively. The
number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued is One Billion
Two Hundred Million (1,200,000,000), and the number of shares of
Preferred Stock authorized to be issued is Ten Million (10,000,000).
The Amendment will become effective upon filing the Amendment to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation with the California Secretary of State,
anticipated to be approximately 21 days after this Information Statement has
been distributed to the Company's shareholders.
The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the Amendment is
advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Except
for outstanding warrants and stock options, the Company has no current
commitments or obligations to issue any of the additional shares. The additional
shares of Common Stock to be authorized may be issued for any proper corporate
purpose, including acquiring other businesses or technologies in exchange for
shares, entering into joint venture arrangements with other companies in which
Common Stock is part of the consideration, stock splits or stock dividends,
raising capital through the sale of Common Stock, and attracting and retaining
valuable employees by the issuance of stock options or use of stock-based
employee benefit plans.
The authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock will be available for
issuance from time to time as may be deemed advisable or required for various
purposes by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will be able to
authorize the issuance of shares for these transactions without the necessity
and related costs and delays of a special shareholders' meeting or consent.
Although the amendment will increase the number of shares of authorized Common
Stock, it will not immediately result in any change of the voting power or of
the equity percentages of the Company owned by the shareholders prior to the
issuance of any new shares of Common Stock. The amendment to increase the
authorized shares of Common Stock is not intended to have any anti-takeover
effect and is not part of any series of any anti-takeover measures. However,
shareholders should note that the availability of additional authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock could make any attempt to gain control of the
Company or the Board of Directors more difficult or time-consuming and that the
availability of additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock might
make it more difficult to remove management. The Company is not aware of any
proposed attempt to take over the Company or of any plans to acquire a large
block of the Company's Common Stock.
ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
Pursuant to Section 603 of the California General Corporation Law ("CGCL"),
any action which may be taken at any meeting of the Shareholders may also be
taken without a meeting and without prior notice and without a vote, if a
consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders
of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that
would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all
shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted (here, a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) and delivered to the Company.
The Company's Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors may fix, in
advance, a date not more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date then
fixed for the holding of any meeting of the Shareholders of the Company (or
before the last day on which the consent of the shareholders may be effectively
expressed for any purpose without a meeting), as the time as of which the
shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote as such meeting or whose consent
is required or may be expressed for any purpose, as the case may be, shall be
determined, and all persons who were Shareholders of record of Common Stock at
such time, and no others, shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such
meeting or to express their consent, as the case may be.
