PART I

Item 1.    Business

General

Teleconnect Inc. (the Company) (initially named Technology Systems International Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on November 23, 1998. It did not conduct any significant operations until December 2000 when there was a change in control and name of the Company.  Affiliated with the change of control, the Company, then named ITS Networks Inc., acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of ITS Europe, S.L., a Spanish telecommunications company founded in 1995. As a result, ITS Europe, S.L. (ITS Europe) became a wholly owned subsidiary and the Company entered into the telephone business in Spain.

On December 15, 2002, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1934 with Teleconnect Comunicaciones, S.A. (Teleconnect SA), a company formed under the laws of Spain, conducting a pre-paid telephone card business in Spain.  During the 2003 fiscal year, the operating activities of ITS Europe S.L. were assumed by Teleconnect. As a result, all substantial operations of the Company were conducted by Teleconnect, where business was merely based on pre-paid telephone services and post-paid services in Spain.

During October 2003, the Company sold its postpaid business to Affinalia, a Spanish postpaid accounts reseller. Therefore, at the end of 2003, the Company was only engaged in prepaid telephone voice services.

During the 2004 fiscal year, the Company decreased its debt, and focused on improving margins and reducing cost. Its telephone services were redefined and certain services were relaunched with a new image and brand name associated with its prepaid telephone card business.

Its prime activities being conducted by Teleconnect SA, in February 2005 the Company changed its name into Teleconnect Inc. During 2005 and 2006 the Company’s main objective was to achieve a monthly operational breakeven situation. Attempting to increase its sales, it developed a new prepaid telephone card with a magnetic strip which was launched into the market though several significant distribution channels.

During the fiscal year 2007, the Company was mainly engaged in the telecommunication industry in Spain and offered prepaid telecommunications services for home and business use.  In order to become more competitive in the market, Teleconnect SA invested in setting up additional switching infrastructure in order to reduce its traffic carrying cost (telephone transmission costs).

Also, the Company in 2007 planned steps that would increase sales, streamline the distribution of prepaid telephony, and further reduce other costs. As part of these plans, stakes in three early stage companies were acquired: Mediawizz (100% Holland), Giga Matrix (49% Holland) and Ownersair (35% U.K.). The products of these three companies were identified as complementary to Teleconnect. They involved customer loyalty programs which aimed for an increase in clientele, as well as multimedia kiosks for the sales of prepaid telephone vouchers enabling easier distribution of Teleconnect SA’s products.

During 2007 and 2008 however, in execution of these plans, the Company again was not able to change its fortune. As a consequence, towards the end of 2008, plans were developed to carry out a change in direction.

This change in direction involves a relief from cash draining activities. Even though the Company maintained its telecommunications activities during the fiscal year 2007 and 2008 consistent with previous plans, the Company took the steps to dispose of the Spanish subsidiaries involved in the telephone business in fiscal year 2009. A Preliminary Proxy Statement was originally filed on April 8, 2009 seeking shareholder approval for this step.  This definitive Proxy Statement was then resubmitted on October 29th, 2009 once the Company became current with its SEC filings.  The duly-called shareholder meeting to approve the sale of the subsidiaries was held on November 12, 2009 where all shareholders present, representing 94.69% or 4,690,677 post-split shares of the common stock of the Company, unanimously voted in favor of the sale of the subsidiaries to Mr. Alfonso de Borbon and a group of investors.

On November 26th, 2009, Mr. Alfonso de Borbón resigned from his position as an officer of Teleconnect Inc in order to dedicate himself full time to building the business of Teleconnect’s Spanish subsidiaries which he formally purchased from Teleconnect Inc, with a group of investors, before a Notary on November 25, 2009.

For reasons mentioned in the Preliminary Proxy Statement of April 8, 2009, and in line with its plans towards sustainable income and financing as the alternative to structural stock issuances, at the shareholder meeting of November 12, 2009, a 1 for 100 reverse stock split was unanimously approved by the shareholders present. In the same shareholders’ meeting, a statement was read on behalf of 87.13% of the shareholders expressing their consent in reference to all past business and Board decisions including the Board’s approval of the share issuance to Hombergh Holdings BV in exchange for debt forgiveness as well as the commitment for its support in providing funds that enable the Company to enter this period of transition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

The change in direction also involves the Company to be transparent and regain its status of good standing with the regulatory authorities. As to this, the Company presented the last of its overdue filings on October 14th, 2009 and regained its current status one week later. In parallel, the Company is establishing principles of proper corporate governance and the plans to implement them.

We are currently in the process of creating a small, clean and flexible company, which targets to be extremely suitable and attractive to operate as a parent for high potential businesses. As such, the initial value being created today in Teleconnect Inc, is therefore, the intrinsic value that a clean parent company with access to a financial market represents. With our ongoing negotiations and plans, as part of the change in course, we are focusing simultaneously on a new core business. Currently, the Company is exploring, with the relevant parties, an acquisition that is expected to make Teleconnect viable. Management is convinced that stock issuance is a useful means to raise funds that enable the Company to better achieve increased stockholder’s value, rather than stock issuances structurally applied in the process of business. As for raising the necessary funds, the Company plans a route towards sustainable income, credibility and sustainable financing. The 10% share in a telecommunications company in Spain, the 100% stake in Mediawizz in Holland, and the 49% stake in a Dutch marketing company (GigaMatrix) are all foreseen to compliment the future business of the Company.

Telecommunications Industry in Spain

The Company has traditionally been involved in the telecommunications business in Spain and essentially all the discontinued business represented in this filing relates to this type of business.

Full deregulation was instituted in Spain on December 1, 1998, almost a year behind most other countries in Western Europe, but since that time many companies have entered the market providing end users with a variety of services and competitive offers. A limited number of operators have traditionally dominated the European telecommunications market. In Spain, the principal operator has been, and still is, Telefonica S.A.

In order to offer telecommunications services in Spain, a company must hold the appropriate license or authorization to conduct business. In Spain, there are several companies with carrier licenses which allow these companies to build their own telecommunications infrastructures and also interconnect with Telefonica. The Company now owns 10% of Teleconnect  SA which possesses a carrier license to sell telecommunications services and as such to interconnect itself with other carriers.

Long distance services in Spain became very competitive after 1999, forcing a continuous decrease in prices to end users, putting a strain on margins and results. Teleconnect SA’s initial service offering focused primarily on offering inexpensive international prepaid calling to foreign residents in Spain that make a higher than average number of calls internationally. In order to offer this service during fiscal 2009, Teleconnect maintained interconnection agreements with BT Spain, Jazztel, Primus, Worldcom and other major carriers.

Products and Services

Mediawizz’ started its original business as a manufacturer/supplier of multimedia kiosks. These kiosk were bought or rented by retailers such as supermarkets and banks and provided consumers the ability to print photographs from their mobiles, send electronic postcards or buy calling credit among other functions. In 2008/2009 Mediawizz changed its scope from producing the turnkey product previously described to now supplying modular and custom-build products for very specific retail applications.  This component based business allows Mediawizz to be more flexible and responsive to customer design configurations and requests.  The new approach has lead to an agreement for an initial 150 retail terminals followed by other orders and inquiries which could lead to significant additional business.

During fiscal 2009, Teleconnect SA provided prepaid voice telephone services to its customers through prepaid calling cards as well as prepaid residential and small business accounts. It also has a prepaid long distance service which can be accessed from any mobile phone. Teleconnect SA intends to diversify its service offering with other prepaid services.

Currently, Teleconnect SA offers various types of prepaid calling cards which are used primarily by tourists, students, and immigrants. They are purchased from a variety of local merchants, kiosks, etc. These cards are cost effective and can be used from hotels, pay phones, public and/or any private telephone.

The calling cards require the user to dial a toll free prefix number, listen to the instructions, which can be given in either Spanish, English, German or French, and dial in their “code” or “PIN”. The code is then confirmed and the user dials the number. The calling cards typically expire sixty days after first activation. Teleconnect sold approximately 281,670 calling cards during its fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as compared to nearly 465,000 for the year ended September 30, 2008.  The reason that the number of physical cards is less but the volume of business is comparable, is that Teleconnect now offers a rechargeable service whereby a user does not have to purchase a new card to increase his minutes of talktime but can simply recharge his existing card. The rechargeable service accounted for approximately 43% of Teleconnect Spain sales. This rechargeable feature helps Teleconnect reduce its cost of sales by not having to print additional plastic cards.

For those clients who have a fixed line and/or a mobile provided by a telecom operator in Spain, the Teleconnect SA offers a pre-paid residential account with which clients can save money on their international calls. These customers are typically foreigners living in Spain or having a second home in Spain, as well as small and medium enterprises with international contacts.

The prepaid accounts technically work similar to the prepaid calling cards except for the fact that our network recognizes the caller’s line identification. A PIN is therefore not needed, making prepaid accounts more convenient. Customers can recharge their balance manually or automatically.

Marketing

Mediawizz has aimed its marketing at companies with a high potential in retail.  As such, all marketing efforts have been face-to-face meetings with these companies which, either directly or indirectly, supply to the large supermarket chains.

Teleconnect SA’s marketing strategy of the residential services during fiscal year 2009 remained focused on foreigners in Spain. These foreigners are primarily located on the coastal areas of Spain, including the islands.

The prepaid calling cards are distributed in Spain through thousands of vending points including some large retail chains.  Teleconnect SA concentrated its marketing activities to maintain this network of outlets, where the before-mentioned stakes in the three startup companies were acquired with a main objective to improve the efficiency in distribution of prepaid telephony and attract a larger group of customers.
 
Industry Participants and Competition

There is a variety of companies involved in the production of multimedia kiosks. Most of these kiosks relate to customer services and as such provide similar services in different formats.  Mediawizz is focusing its efforts to find access to new markets in retail, including vending applications and in other applications where its products help industries comply with laws relating to the sale of products which require a minimum age for purchase.

The growth of the telecommunications industry from 1997 to 2002 attracted many new entrants as well as existing businesses from different industries to enter the telecommunications business. Current and prospective industry participants include multinational alliances, long distance and local telecommunications providers, systems integrators, cable television and satellite communications companies, software and hardware vendors, wireless telecommunications providers and national, local and regional ISPs. Our present primary competitor is Telefonica S.A. Other significant competitors include Orange, Jazztel, Citycall and Communitel.   The market since 2004 has grown much slower than in previous years.

Some participants specialize in specific segments of the market, such as access and/or backbone provision; managed access, e.g., intranets and extranets; application services, e.g., Web hosting; security services; and communication services, e.g., IP-based voice, fax and video services.

Regulation

General. In relation to continued operations, Mediawizz products are in compliance with the European law:  specifically with the Machine Directive and relevant electromagnetic requirements. The European Union has coordinated and standardized the approval of many requirements of all its member states; from its currency, immigration controls, fishing requirements to radio frequencies or the electromagnetic emission limitations of all computer and consumer electronics equipment.  Mediawizz equipment complies with the European Union requirements for the electromagnetic emission limitations on its equipment.

In relation to our discontinued operations, in general terms, the General Law on Telecommunications adopted all European Union directives mandating the liberalization of telecommunications services.

Interconnection. The General Law on Telecommunications requires owners of public telecommunications networks to allow competitors to interconnect with their networks and services at non-discriminatory rates and under non-discriminatory conditions. The General Law on Telecommunications provides that the conditions for interconnection are to be freely agreed among the parties while the government has the authority to establish the minimum conditions for interconnection agreements, which must be included in all interconnection agreements.

Public Service Obligation. The General Law on Telecommunications provides that the owners of public telecommunications networks, as well as operators rendering telecommunications services on the basis of an individual license, are subject to certain public service obligations.

The universal service obligation consists of the obligation to provide basic telephone to all end users within Spain, free telephone directory services, sufficient public pay phones throughout Spain and access to telephone services for disabled people. These services must be provided by the dominant operator in each territory, and in certain cases, by another operator, pursuant to regulations.

Regulation in the United States

Our operations are in Spain and Holland and not currently subject to specific regulation in the U.S., either at the federal or state level.

Employees
 
Mediawizz currently has one fulltime employee and subcontracts its software/hardware design as well as delivery and maintenance to other parties.   As such, a team of five people are involved in the Mediawizz operation.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company and its discontinued subsidiaries had 11 full-time employees, of which four persons in operations, two people in marketing and sales, two in accounting, finance, human resources and office management, two call-center attendants and one person in business development and general management. None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union with respect to his or her employment by the Company.

The Company has experienced no organized work stoppages and believes that its relationship with its employees is good. The Company believes that an important factor in its future success will be its ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for such personnel in the industry in Spain and Holland is intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting or retaining such personnel, and the failure to attract or retain such personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. In such competitive environment, Teleconnect must differentiate itself based primarily on good customer care, ease for the customer to work with us, clarity of its invoices and quick response to service problems. Since we cannot pay high material incentives to the employees, we attempt to provide a healthy, enjoyable working environment where personal achievements and contributions are recognized.
 
Banking Arrangements

On September 30, 2009, Teleconnect Comunications SA has an outstanding bank loan for 100,000€.

Information Structure While the Company is investigating new markets and products, we have depended mainly on our Spanish subsidiaries although progressively more emphasis is being placed on the information systems of Mediawizz.  We must continue to develop our information systems infrastructure as the number of our clients and the amount of information they wish to access might increase.

Growth  Limited growth in the past has been a function of the funds available to invest in capacity and equipment. Also, we have been unfortunate in acquisitions or co-operations that were engaged to establish the desired growth. This has placed a significant strain on management, financial controls, operating and accounting systems, personnel and other resources. We currently rely on a small core management team. In the event that we grow, we must not only manage demands on this team but also increase management resources, among other things, to expand, train and manage our employee base and maintain close coordination among our technical, accounting, financing, marketing and sales staff. If any growth is not properly managed, management may be unable to adequately support our clients in the future.

Management Changes On December 11,, 2008, Mr. Geeris stepped down from all of the positions he occupied in the Company in favor of Mr. Dirk L. Benschop.  Mr. Benschop is now the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.   

On November 26, 2009, Mr. Alfonso de Borbón resigned from his position as an officer of the Company in order to dedicate himself full time to building the business of Teleconnect’s Spanish subsidiaries which he formally purchased from the Company with a group of investors, before a Notary on November 25, 2009.

If members of our senior management team leave the Company, the Company’s ability to operate its business could be negatively affected.  Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of the senior management. The loss of services or any other present or future key management or employee, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance for any of our personnel.

Competition for Employees Competition for highly-skilled personnel is intense and the success of our business depends on our ability to attract and retain highly-skilled employees. We may be unable to attract or retain key employees or other highly qualified employees in the future. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly-skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. If we do not succeed in attracting sufficient new personnel or retaining and motivating our current personnel, our ability to provide our services could diminish.

Sales Relationships For both continued and discontinued business, if we are unable to maintain our sales representative and third-party sales channel relationships, then our ability to sell and support our services may be negatively impacted.

We are, and will continue to be, significantly dependent on a number of third-party relationships, our sales representatives and partners, to market and support our services. Many of our arrangements with third-party providers are not exclusive and may be terminated at the convenience of either party. No assurances can be provided that these third parties regard our relationship with them as important to their own respective businesses and operations, that they will not reassess their commitment to us at any time in the future, that they will meet their sales targets or that they will not develop their own competitive services.

 
6

 

We may not be able to maintain our current relationships or form new relationships with third parties that supply us with clients, synergies, software or related products that are important to our success. Accordingly, no assurances are provided that our existing or prospective relationships will result in sustained business partnerships, successful offerings or the generation of significant revenues.

We rely on our sales representatives or distribution channels for some of the support and local implementation necessary to deliver our services on a broad basis. We also rely on these sales representatives or distribution channels for insights into local operating and market conditions. The failure of these sales representatives to perform their tasks or perform their responsibilities effectively could, in turn, adversely affect our business.

Suppliers   We depend on the supply of electronic components and parts from various suppliers.  They have from time to time experienced short-term delays in provided the requested parts. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain these components in the future within the time frames required by us at a reasonable cost. Any failure to obtain supplies on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost, or any interruption of local access services, could have an adverse effect on our final product and service level.

Service Disruptions If the network infrastructure is disrupted or security breaches occur on our communications lines with our clients, we may lose clients or incur additional liabilities.

We may in the future experience interruptions in service as a result of fire, natural disasters, power loss, or the accidental or intentional actions of service users, current and former employees and others. Although we continue to implement industry-standard disaster recovery, security and service continuity protection measures, including the physical protection of our offices and equipment, similar measures taken by others have been insufficient or circumvented in the past. There can be no assurance that our measures will be sufficient or that they will not be circumvented in the future. Unauthorized use of our network could potentially jeopardize the security of confidential information stored in the computer systems or transmitted by our clients. Furthermore, addressing security problems may result in interruptions, delays or cessation of services to our clients. These factors may result in liability to us or our clients.
 
Competition The markets we serve are highly competitive and our competitors may have much greater resources to commit to growth, new technology and marketing.  As for our continuing business, Mediawizz enjoys no distinctive advantage.

Our current and potential competitors include other companies that provide voice and data communications services to multinational businesses, systems integrators, national and regional Internet Service Providers, or ISPs, wireless, cable television and satellite communications companies, software and hardware vendors, and global, regional and local telecommunications companies. Our sales representatives and suppliers could also become competitors either directly or through strategic relationships with our competitors.

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the telecommunications industry than we do. We cannot be sure that we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully in the future. Our competitors may be able to:
 
 
*
develop and expand their network infrastructures and service offerings more quickly;
 
*
adapt better to new or emerging technologies and changing client needs;
 
*
take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily;
 
*
devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their services and products; and
 
*
adopt more aggressive pricing policies
 
Some of our competitors may also be able to provide clients with additional benefits at lower overall costs. We cannot be sure that we will be able to match cost reductions of our competitors. In addition, we believe it is likely that there will be additional consolidation in our market, which could increase competition in ways that may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Variable Revenues and Operating Results Our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, not all of which are in our control. These factors include:
 
 
*
the size and timing of significant equipment and software purchases;
 
*
the timing of new service offerings;
 
*
changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;
 
*
the timing and completion of the expansion of our service offering;
 
*
the length of our contract cycles; and
 
*
our success in expanding our sales force and expanding our distribution channels.
 
In addition, a relatively large portion of our expenses are fixed in the short-term, particularly with respect to global communications capacity, depreciation, office lease costs and interest expenses and personnel, and therefore our results of operations are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in revenues. Due to the factors noted above and other risks discussed in this section, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations. Quarterly results are not necessarily meaningful and you should not unduly rely on them as an indication of future performance. It is possible that in some future periods our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our Common Stock may not increase or may fall. Please see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Results of Operations.

Governmental Regulation With respect to our discontinued operations which we have sold off, we have held authorizations for international telecommunications services between Spain and other countries based on a third party's networks. Future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes in Spain may impose additional costs on the new owners or restrict their activities. In addition, regulators or third parties may raise material issues with regard to their compliance with applicable regulations. Failure to comply with applicable local laws or regulations could prevent them from carrying on their operations cost effectively.  With respect to Mediawizz current business, there is no specific government regulation applicable.

Penny Stock Trading Rules When the trading price of the Company's Common Stock is below $5.00 per share, the Common Stock is considered to be “penny stocks” that are subject to rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Rule 15-1 through 15g-9) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These rules impose significant requirements on brokers under these circumstances, including: (a) delivering to customers the Commission's standardized risk disclosure document; (b) providing to customers current bid and offers; (c) disclosing to customers the brokers-dealer and sales representatives compensation; and (d) providing to customers monthly account statements.

Future Sales of Our Common Stock May Depress Our Stock Price The market price of our Common Stock could decline as a result of sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market in the future. In addition, it is more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of Common Stock. There were 4,953,617 post-split shares of our Common Stock outstanding as “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 as of September 30, 2009, which will be available for sale in the future. This number of shares takes into consideration the 1 for 100 reverse split approved at the shareholders meeting of November 12, 2009. These shares may be sold in the future without registration under the Securities Act to the extent permitted by Rule 144 or other exemptions under the Securities Act.

Technological Changes Global industries are subject to rapid and significant technological changes. We cannot predict the effect of technological changes on our business. We will rely in part on third parties, for the development of, and access to everything from communications and networking technologies, to kiosk hardware, components and parts. We expect that new services and technologies applicable to our market will emerge. New products and technologies may be superior and/or render obsolete the products and technologies that we currently use to deliver our services. We must anticipate and adapt to technological changes and evolving industry standards. We may be unable to obtain access to new technologies on acceptable terms or at all, and we may be unable to obtain access to new technologies and offer services in a competitive manner. Any new products and technologies may not be compatible with our technologies and business plan.
 
Voting Control The largest single shareholder of the Company as of September 30, 2009, Mr. Hendrik van den Hombergh, owned directly and beneficially approximately 36% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of that date. During 2009, this stockholder has financially made possible  the change in course described earlier.  During the first fiscal quarter of 2009, Mr. Leonardus Geeris resigned from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in favor of Mr. Dirk Benschop who assumed these positions on December 11, 2008.  As of September 30, 2009, Mr. Geeris remains a significant shareholder of the Company with 31.68% of the common stock of the Company.

Item 1A     Risk Factors

We may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future. We have incurred substantial net losses and negative cash flow from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $31,992,430 and had a stockholders' deficit of $3,399,654. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred losses of $1,828,443 and $3,510,739 for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the Company has incurred substantial losses since its inception.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,556,111 as compared to its working capital deficit as of September 30, 2008 of $5,287,306.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These results and facts are the justification for the significant change in direction and focus of the Company implemented by new management during the fiscal year 2009 and to be continued during 2010.

In order for us to be successful, cash draining activities needed to be disposed of, for example the Spanish subsidiaries, debt needed to be restructured, as was supported by significant shareholders exchanging loans for stock.  Looking forward, new markets must be entered with new and profitable products. We may not succeed in attracting sufficient funds to successfully accomplish the transition that is necessary to create a viable situation.

The lack of liquidity of the Company’s stock inherently has the risk that shares may not find a buyer thus making it more difficult for shareholders to sell their shares.

Item 1B      Unresolved Staff Comments

None

Item 2.        Properties

The Company’s principal executive offices were located during fiscal 2009 at Oude Vest 4, 4811 HT,  Breda, The Netherlands.

 
8

 
 
These facilities are leased at commercial rates under standard commercial leases in the geographic area. We believe that suitable space for these operations is generally available on commercially reasonable terms as needed.

Item 3.        Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of its operations, the Company, from time to time in the past, has been named in legal actions seeking monetary damages.  While the outcome of these matters could not be estimated with certainty, management did not expect, based upon consultation with legal counsel, that they would have had a material effect on the Company's business or financial condition or results of operations.

To this effect, we have a provision of approximately $158,000 to cover these and other litigation cases that could possibly threaten the Company in the future.

During fiscal 2009, the Company has filed legal actions in Spain and Holland against parties which owe money to the Company. We know of no claims filed against the Company.

Item 4.        Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters put forth to a vote at a meeting of the security holders during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein.

Forward Looking Statements

When used in this annual report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC, in our press releases and in oral statements made with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers, the words or phrases “will likely result”, “plans”, “will continue”, “is anticipated”, “estimated”, “expect”, “project” or “outlook” or similar expressions (including confirmations by one of our authorized executive officers of any such expressions made by a third party with respect to us) are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to our history of losses, our limited operating history, our need for additional financing, rapid technological change, and an uncertain market, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the factors described below and in the Description of Business section of this annual report. We undertake no obligation to release publicly revisions we made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements. All written and oral forward-looking statements made after the date of this annual report and/or attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this discussion.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements.  We consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical:

Estimates.   The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the saleability and recoverability of inventory, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We must make estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable. We analyze historical write-offs, changes in our internal credit policies and customer concentrations when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. Differences may result in the amount and timing of expenses for any period if we make different judgments or use difference estimates.

Property and equipment are evaluated for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. Accounting standards require that if an impairment indicator is present, the Company must assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is unrecoverable by estimating the sum of the future cash flows expected to result form the asset, undiscounted and without interest charges. If the carrying amount is less than the recoverable amount, an impairment charge must be recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Management assumed the Company was a going concern for purposes of evaluating the possible impairment of its property and equipment. Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern, there may be significant impairment in the value of the Company’s property and equipment.

Revenue Recognition. Our revenue recognition policies are based on the requirements of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.   Revenue from the sale of multimedia kiosks from our Mediawizz subsidiary are recognized in the period in which title has passed and services have been rendered.

Revenue from sales of telecommunication services (included in discontinued operations) is generally recognized during the period when the services are rendered. Prepaid services which have not yet been rendered are reflected in deferred income until such time as the services are rendered.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company adopted amended accounting guidance on October 1, 2005 utilizing the modified prospective method. The adoption of the amended accounting guidance had no impact on the financial statements as the Company did not issue any options during 2009 or 2008. All options and warrants were fully vested at the date of issuance.

Under the amended accounting guidance, the Company is required to recognize compensation cost for the portion of outstanding awards previously accounted for under the provisions of the previous accounting guidance for which the requisite service had not been rendered as of the adoption date for this guidance. The guidance also requires companies to estimate forfeitures of stock compensation awards as of the grant date of the award.

 
11

 
 
 The Company uses the "modified prospective" method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of accounting guidance for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of the accounting guidance for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of the amended guidance that remain unvested on the effective date.
 
Variable Interest Entities. We analyze any potential Variable Interest or Special-Purpose Entities in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation of Variable Interest and Special-Purpose Entities. Once an entity is determined to be a Variable Interest Entity (VIE), the party with the controlling financial interest, the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate it.  The Company has analyzed its investment in Giga and after analysis we have determined that, while Giga is a VIE as defined by FASB ASC 810-10, we are not the primary beneficiary, and therefore Giga is not required to be consolidated.

Segment Reporting.  Based on the criteria within accounting guidance, we have determined that we currently have two reportable segments; multimedia kiosk sales and service, which encompasses Mediawizz , and telecommunications systems and related services which encompasses the companies of Teleconnect Comunicaciones SA, Teleconnect Telecom SL, Recarganet.

Discontinued operations. In March 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell ITS Europe, Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom and Recarganet to certain employees and officers of Teleconnect Spain with the Company retaining 10% of Teleconnect Spain.  The results of operations of these subsidiaries were reported as “discontinued operations” and assets and liabilities have been separated on the balance sheet.

Overview

At the time of this filing, we derive our revenues from continuing operations primarily from the sale of multimedia kiosks and hardware components to the suppliers of retail chains. These kiosks and components can be applied to different functions such as recharging prepaid telephone cards. Our revenues and operating results will depend in the future upon the continued adoption and use of the services provided by the multimedia kiosks and components supplied by Mediawizz. The rate of adoption is influenced significantly over the longer term by government laws and mandates, performance and pricing of our products/services, relationships with the public and other factors.

Our revenues from discontinued operations are primarily from the sale of our long-distance telecommunication services. Our revenues and operating results have depended upon the continued adoption and use of our products and services by consumers and small businesses. The rate of adoption is influenced significantly over the longer term by government laws and mandates, performance and pricing of the discontinued operations’ products/services, relationships with the public and other factors.

As mentioned above, our future revenues will depend primarily on the targeted acquisition of companies with high potential business.  Today, our existing revenues generated by Mediawizz may be impacted by other factors including the length of our sales cycle, the timing of sales orders, budget cycles of our customers, competition, the timing and introduction of new versions of our products, the loss of, or difficulties affecting, key personnel and distributors, changes in market dynamics or the timing of product development or market introductions. These factors have impacted our historical results to a greater extent than has seasonality. Combinations of these factors have historically influenced our growth rate and profitability significantly in one period compared to another, and is expected to continue to influence future periods, which may compromise our ability to make accurate forecasts.

Our most significant customers during fiscal year 2009, now included in discontinued operations, were only two customers which accounted for 28% and 28% of our revenues during the year ended September 30, 2009.  Domestic sales in Spain accounted for 91.4% and 95.25% of total revenues in 2009 and 2008, respectfully. Mediawizz is in the process of obtaining business in retail.

Cost of sales included in discontinued operations consists primarily of the costs associated with carriers which supply the telecom services for the Company to resell. We rely on third parties to offer the majority of the services we have in our portfolio. Accordingly, a significant portion of our cost of sales consists of payments to these carriers. Cost of sales included in continuing operations consists of customer support costs, training and professional services expenses, and parts for the terminals; which consist of small display screens, metallic housings, PC’s, switches, small cameras similar to webcams, electronic components, cables, power supplies and software licenses amongst other items.

Our gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including competition, the mix and average selling prices of products, maintenance and services, new versions of products, the cost of equipment, component shortages, and the mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold. Our gross profit will be adversely affected by price declines if we are unable to reduce costs on existing products or to introduce new versions of products with higher margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, finance, accounting, legal and human resources personnel, professional fees and corporate expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease in the short term in absolute dollars as we will employ fewer hours to maintain the Company’s current status with its SEC filings than to bring the Company current in 2009.

Year Ended September 30, 2009, compared to year ended September 30, 2008
 
Assets.   Total assets as of September 30, 2009 decreased 11.5% to $3,765,332 from $4,256,375 at September 30, 2008.  This decrease is due to collection of accounts receivable during the period; a reduction of inventory at Mediawizz due to recording a provision for slow moving products; reduction in property and equipment as well as the decrease of the investment in Giga Matrix Holding BV due to losses in the investment accounted for under the equity method. This was offset by an increase in the amounts due from related parties as additional funds were provided to GigaMatrix, as well as the increase in current assets of discontinued operations.
 
Liabilities . Total liabilities as of September 30, 2009 decreased 13.8% to $7,164,986 compared to $8,065,499 as of September 30, 2008.  This decrease is due primarily to the net decrease of $1,039,288 loans from related parties as well as the decrease of $150,914 in liabilities from accounts payables.  The net decrease of $1,129,374 is composed of the conversion of $2,111,271 of loans into 1,671,180 shares of common stock of the Company offset but the increase in loans to a third related party as well as a 7.7% increase in liabilities from discontinued operations.

Revenues . Revenues from continuing operations for the year ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $361,989 compared to $181,935 in the prior year; a 99% increase.   These 2009 revenues primarily were derived from the sales of calling credit through kiosks that Mediawizz custom built and installed in supermarkets for a Netherlands customer.  Where the sales of calling credit in these supermarkets formerly was organized through both a service desks and kiosks, in 2009, the sales at these service desks were abolished thus generating more traffic and increasing sales through the kiosks. Also, Mediawizz delivered a first lot from a previously agreed 150 terminal-order.

Pricing Policies . The pricing for our products and services from continuing business may vary depending on the services provided, the speed of service, geographic location and capacity utilization. It is not the intention of the Company to enter “price wars” with other similar companies. The Company strives to differentiate itself with the quality of our customer care, with the quality of the service, and by providing a unique value add to the service.  The existing prices reflect the fact that the continuing operations are derived from relatively new services and products which are still in their infancy.

Client Contracts . Our contracts with customers generally include an agreed-upon price schedule that details both fixed and variable prices for contracted services. Our sales representatives can easily add additional services to existing contracts, enabling clients to increase the number of locations.

Cost of Sales.   Cost of sales from continuing operations for the year ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $435,147 as compared to $578,381for the year ended September 30, 2008.The decrease in cost of sales partially reflects efficiencies gained in our assembly process and operations of kiosks but is predominately due to the increase in sales of calling credit which has a much lower associated cost of sales than the assembly of the kiosk hardware.

We reflected a gross loss during fiscal 2009 of $73,158 compared to a gross loss in fiscal 2008 of $396,446.  The principal reasons for the negative gross profit is the fact that this continuing business is in its infancy and the Company is still in the process of developing its market share.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2009 were $1,365,550, an increase of $620,978 or 83.4% from the prior year’s operating expenses of $744,572.   This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the additional cost of outside professional services related to the Company’s accounting and taxes for 2008 and 2009.

Interest Expense . Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2009 was $54,396 compared to $106,323 for the prior year; a reduction of 49.8%. This decrease was due primarily to less interest incurred on loans made from affiliated parties due to the conversion of $2,111,271 of loans into 1,671,180 shares of common stock of the Company.

Revenues . Revenues from discontinued operations in 2009 increased 18% to $4,274,248 compared to $3,625,575 in 2008.   The increase in sales is due to our ability to lower prices of our goods and services to at least the levels of our competitors. We were able to increase sales with improving margins and thus improve our competitive pricing.  The actual number of minutes of long distance traffic handled by the network increased in 2009 as compared to 2008 by 2.34% increasing from 74,637,070 to 76,384,851 minutes, respectively.  The discontinued operations were officially sold on November 25, 2009.

Cost of Sales.   Cost of sales in 2009 was $3,070,712, an increase of $223,424 or 7.8% from the prior year cost of sales of $2,847,288. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 71.8% in 2009 while it was 78.5% for the same period in 2008. The main reason for the increase was the 18.5% increase in sales.  The fact that the cost of sales increased less than the sales is attributed to the Company’s ability to renegotiate better carrier pricing during this period.  This lower percentage increase in cost of sales than in sales resulted in a 54.64% improvement in gross profit during 2009, increasing from $1,203,536 as compared to a gross profit of $778,287 in 2008.  
 
 Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2009 were $1,430,742 a decrease of $670,743 or 31.9% from the prior year´s operating expenses of $2,101,485. This change is due primarily to a reduction of employees and other selling related costs.
 
Gain on sale of subsidiary.  The sale of ITS Europe to certain employees and officers of Teleconnect Spain for €1 and the assumption of ITS Europe debts was completed on May 14, 2009 and resulted in a gain on the sale of subsidiary of $85,308.

Net Loss. In 2009 the Company reported a net loss from discontinued operations of $230,571 compared to a net loss of $1,435,188 during 2008.   The improvement is a direct result of increase sales at better margins; lower selling, general and administrative expense and the sale of ITS Europe.

Net cash used in operating activities

In 2009 the Company used $1,274,661 in operations which was primarily from net losses during the year and changes to current assets and liabilities. The Company used $2,971,731 of its cash in operations in 2008 primarily from net losses during the year.  

Net cash used in investing activities

In 2009, the Company generated cash from investing activities of $233,163 principally from discontinued operations. The Company generated cash from investing activities in 2008 of $148,701 from the disposal of assets of $29,654 by Mediawizz and $202,435 through discontinued operations offset by advances  to Giga Matrix BV of $83,388.

Net Cash provided by financing activities

During 2009, the Company generated cash from financing activities of $861,137 in 2009 through loans from related parties of $900,886 offset by repayments on capital leases of $39,749.  The Company generated cash from financing activities of $2,257,675 in 2008 through loans from related parties of $2,306,842 offset by repayments on capital leases during the year of $49,167.   

The ability of the Company to satisfy its obligations and to continue as a going concern will depend in part upon its ability to raise funds through the sale of additional shares of its Common Stock, increasing borrowing, and in part upon its ability to reach a profitable level of operations. The Company’s financial statements do not reflect adjustments that might result from its inability to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.

The Company’s capital resources have been provided primarily by capital contributions from stockholders, stockholders’ loans, the conversion of outstanding debt into Common Stock of the Company, and services rendered in exchange for Common Stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements .
 
In June 2009, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-01, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“ASU 2009-01”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification  (ASC), is intended to be the source of authoritative GAAP and reporting standards as issued by the FASB. The primary purpose of the FASB ASC is to improve clarity and use of existing standards by grouping authoritative literature under common topics. ASU 2009-01 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP. The implementation of ASU 2009-01 had no impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB amended accounting guidance regarding interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. The amended accounting guidance requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in financial statements for interim reporting periods and in annual financial statements of publicly-traded companies. This amended guidance requires entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments in financial statements on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. On June 30, 2009 the Company adopted this amended accounting guidance, and it did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding subsequent events, which establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The Company adopted this guidance in the third quarter of 2009. The Company evaluated for subsequent events through January 12, 2010, the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to accounting guidance which amended accounting guidance to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. The amendment also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, the amendment provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. The amended guidance will become effective in the first quarter of 2010. The Company is currently evaluating whether these amendments will have an impact on the Company consolidated financial statements.

On November 15, 2008, the Company’s then President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Leonardus Geeris, in preparation of the appointment of new executive management and in order to facilitate a restructuring of certain of the Company’s debt, entered into an arrangement  permitting all of his outstanding loans of $1,766,271 to be converted into 291,180 post-split shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Effective December 11, 2008, Mr. Dirk L. Benschop was appointed a director of the Company, by Mr. Leonardus Geeris, to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors.  At the same time, Mr. Benschop was also appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. Additionally, Mr Geeris provided Mr. Benschop with an irrevocable proxy to represent all his voting rights at shareholder meetings until November 2009. On November 3, 2009, Mr. Benschop renounced on his rights to further use this irreversible proxy by Mr. Geeris.

In February 2009, the Company and an investor entered into an arrangement to convert part of the debt owed to the investor amounting to €326,988 or approximately $345,000 into 1,380,000 post-split shares of Common Stock of the Company.

In March 2009 the Company entered into an arrangement providing for the sale of 100 % of the Company’s interest in ITS Europe, Recarganet, and Teleconnect Telecom in addition to approximately 87% of its interest in Teleconnect Comunicaciones SA; retaining a 10% stake in the latter.  On March 25, 2009, tentative agreements were signed between the Company and several private individuals (some of which are also employees and officers of Teleconnect Comunicaciones SA) to affect the purchase.

On November 12, 2009, at a meeting of the shareholders of Teleconnect Inc, all shareholders present, representing 94.69% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, unanimously agreed on the sale of the Spanish subsidiaries.  The stock purchase agreements were formalized on November 25, 2009 before a public Spanish notary upon approval by the Company’s shareholders.  By selling off the Spanish subsidiaries and maintaining a 10% stake in Teleconnect Comunicaciones SA, Teleconnect Inc is relieved of its obligation to fund these companies whereas Teleconnect Inc. could possibly benefit from future dividends, if so declared by Teleconnect Spain.

The shareholders’ also approved a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock in the ratio of 1 for 100 at the November 12, 2009 shareholders’ meeting.

On May 14, 2009, the sale of ITS Europe SL was consummated before a Spanish Notary.  ITS Europe SL has been a dormant company since 2003 when its activities were merged with those of Teleconnect Communicaciones SA.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors

Teleconnect Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teleconnect Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.    Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.   An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.   

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Teleconnect Inc. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency in addition to a working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 17.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TELECONNECT, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2009

1. THE COMPANY

Teleconnect Inc. (the “Company”, “Teleconnect”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on November 23, 1998. The Company is engaged in the sale of multimedia kiosks and the telecommunication industry in Spain and offers telecommunications services for home and business use.  All of the Company’s operations are in the European Union.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounts Receivable -

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated net realizable values using the allowance method. The Company generally does not require collateral.  The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.  When accounts are determined to be uncollectible they are charged off against an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Credit losses, when realized, have been within the range of the Company’s expectations.  As of September 30, 2009, two customers accounted for 28%, and 28% of accounts receivables included in assets of discontinued operations.   As of September 30, 2008, two customers accounted for 28%, and 21% of accounts receivable included in assets of discontinued operations.

Advertising Costs -

Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $24,394 in 2009 and $66,173 in 2008.

Cash Equivalents -

The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and highly liquid investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Substantially all cash on hand at September 30, 2009 was held in European financial institutions and is not insured.

Consolidation Policy -

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom, PhotoWizz BV (“MediaWizz”), and Recarganet for the year ended September 30, 2009. For the year ended September 30, 2008 the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries ITS Europe, Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom, PhotoWizz BV (“MediaWizz”), and Recarganet. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition -

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of multimedia kiosks in the period in which title has passed and services have been rendered. Deferred revenue consists of the sale of prepaid calling cards which have not yet been utilized.  The Company recognizes revenue from these cards in the period in which time on the cards is utilized.

Earnings per Share -

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive affect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their exclusion would be anti-dilutive.
 
Reclassifications –

Certain amounts in prior year have been reclassified to conform with current year classifications. Additionally, as of October 1, 2007, the Company  reclassified $409,800 from accumulated deficit to other comprehensive loss to correct a classification related to foreign currency translation.

 
23

 

Estimates -

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Adjustments -

The financial position and results of substantially all foreign operations are consolidated using the local currencies in which the Company operates as a functional currency. The financial statements of foreign operations are translated using exchange rates in effect at year-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the year for results of operations.  The related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Income Taxes -

The Company uses the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The Company’s policy is to classify the penalties and interest associated with uncertain tax positions, if required, as a component of its income tax provision.

Inventories -

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on the first in, first out basis.

Property and equipment -

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses included in the results of operation for the respective period.  Depreciation is computed on a straight line basis over its useful lives which is 5-7 years.

Goodwill –

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the cost of acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired of any business that is acquired. The Company performs impairment tests of the intangible assets at least annually and impairment losses are recognized if the carrying value of the intangible exceeds its fair value. For the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not incur any charges for impairment.
 
Variable Interest Entities -
 
The Company analyzes any potential Variable Interest or Special-Purpose Entities in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation of Variable Interest and Special-Purpose Entities. Once an entity is determined to be a Variable Interest Entity (VIE), the party with the controlling financial interest, the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate it.  The Company has analyzed its investment in Giga and after analysis we have determined that, while Giga is a VIE as defined by FASB ASC 810-10, we are not the primary beneficiary, and therefore Giga is not required to be consolidated.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company applies accounting guidance that requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.  The guidance defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  As of  September 30, 2009 and 2008 the fair value of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, notes payable, and accrued expenses approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices, or interest rates, which fluctuate with market rates.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation –

The Company adopted accounting guidance on October 1, 2005 utilizing the modified prospective method. The adoption the accounting guidance had no impact on the financial statements as the Company did not issue any options during 2009 or 2008. All options and warrants were fully vested at the date of issuance.

 
24

 

Under accounting guidance for stock-based compensation, the Company is required to recognize compensation cost for the portion of outstanding awards previously accounted for under the provisions previous guidance for which the requisite service had not been rendered as of the adoption date of the new guidance. The guidance also requires companies to estimate forfeitures of stock compensation awards as of the grant date of the award.

The Company uses the "modified prospective" method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of the amended accounting guidance for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of the previous accounting guidance for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of the amended accounting guidance that remain unvested on the effective date.

New Accounting Pronouncements -
 
The Company adopted the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) “Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification  (ASC), is intended to be the source of authoritative GAAP and reporting standards as issued by the FASB. The ASC does not change or alter existing GAAP. The implementation of this standard had no impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB amended accounting guidance regarding interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. The amended accounting guidance will require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in financial statements for interim reporting periods and in annual financial statements of publicly-traded companies. This amended guidance will require entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments in financial statements on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. On June 30, 2009 the Company adopted this amended accounting guidance, which did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance regarding recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. The amendment changes the existing guidance for debt securities to make it more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. On June 30, 2009 the Company adopted amended accounting guidance, which did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance in regards to determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. The additional guidance provides for estimating fair value when the market activity for an asset or liability has declined significantly. On June 30, 2009 the Company adopted the guidance, which did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding subsequent events, which establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The Company adopted this guidance in the third quarter of 2009.

In June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to accounting guidance which amended existing guidance to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. The amendment also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, the amendment provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. The amended guidance will become effective in the first quarter of 2010. The Company is currently evaluating whether these amendment will have an impact on the Company consolidated financial statements.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell ITS Europe, Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom and Recarganet to certain employees and officers of Teleconnect Spain for €1,001 with the Company retaining 10% of Teleconnect SA. Going forward the Company will account for the 10% of Teleconnect SA by the cost method.

The sale of ITS Europe to certain employees and officers of Teleconnect Spain for €1 and the assumption of ITS Europe debts was completed on May 14, 2009 and resulted in a gain on the sale of subsidiary of $85,308. ITS Europe, which had been a dormant company since 2003, was subsequently dissolved and liquidated.

 As a result of significant pre-tax losses, the Company cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.  Accordingly a full valuation allowance has been established against our deferred tax assets.  During 2009, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $667,644 to reflect the effect of current year net operating losses offset by disposal of losses from ITS Europe.

The company was delinquent in filing tax returns with the Internal Revenue service and state taxing authorities.  With respect to the fiscal year 2008 returns $50,000 of penalties and interest have been accrued and included in the current year income tax provision.  

10. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In the normal course of its operations, the Company may, from time to time, be named in legal actions seeking monetary damages. While the outcome of these matters cannot be estimated with certainty, management does not expect, based upon consultation with legal counsel, that they will have a material effect on the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

11. PREFERRED STOCK

The Company has 5,000,000 shares of authorized and unissued Preferred Stock with par value of $0.001, which is noncumulative and nonparticipating. No shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2009 or 2008.

12. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

On March 6, 2009 the Company converted $1,766,271 of debt and accrued interest from a related party into 291,180 shares of the Company’s common stock which were issued in the name of DLB Finance and Consultancy,  owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  The Company recognized $72,795 in stock-based compensation for these costs incurred by this related party on the Company’s behalf.

On March 6, 2009 the Company converted $345,000 of debt from certain investors into 1,380,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On April 1, 2009, 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were returned to the Company by Teleconnect Spain employees and retired.

On November 12, 2009 the shareholders approved a 1 for 100 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.  This reverse stock split has been reflected retroactively for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

13. STOCK WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

During 2002, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Option, SAR and Stock Bonus Plan (the "Employee Plan"), which reserves 12,500 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Employee Plan. The Employee Plan allows the Company to issue awards of incentive or non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, and stock bonuses, which may be subject to restrictions. No options have been issued under this plan as of September 30, 2009.

During 2002, the Company adopted a Stock Option, SAR and Stock Bonus Consultant Plan (the "Consultant Plan"), which reserves 10,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Consultant Plan. The Consultant Plan allows the Company to issue awards of incentive or non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, and stock bonuses, which may be subject to restrictions. During 2004 and 2003 the Company issued 21,800 and 1,500 shares respectively under the provisions of this plan. On July 29, 2004, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved amending the existing plans to reserving up to 150,000 shares for the two plans, however, the amended plan has not yet been filed under Form S 8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On February 1, 2004, the Company issued restricted stock options which have a term of five years at an exercise price of $25 per share covering 10,000 shares of restricted common stock. The options can be exercised on or after January 1, 2005. Restricted stock on the date the option was granted was valued at $10 per share based on other restricted stock transactions during the year.

Effective March 31, 2006, the Company adopted and approved its 2006 Stock Option, SAR and Stock Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) which reserved 200,000 of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan. The Plan allows us to issue awards of incentive non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, and stock bonuses to consultants to the Company which may be subject to restrictions.   As of September 30, 2009, 145,743 shares of common stock had been issued under this plan.

14. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding on that date during the applicable periods. The Options totaling 10,000 shares that were outstanding at September 30, 2008, have not been included in diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

15. ACQUISITIONS

Giga Matrix Holding

On February 15, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to issue 36,160 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $180,800 for a 49% interest in Giga Matrix Holdings, BV (“Giga”).  As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company has advanced Giga $530,992 and $468,146, respectively, in loans, which is included in “due from related parties” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  The Company accounts for its investment in Giga under the equity method and had recognized $44,626 and $103,397 in losses on its equity investment during 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company has no further financial commitments to Giga or exposure to additional losses beyond the initial investment.

The Company has analyzed its investment in Giga and determined that, while Giga is a variable interest entity the Company is not the primary beneficiary, and therefore Giga is not required to be consolidated.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated for subsequent events through January 12, 2009, the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements.

As discussed in Note 3, in March 2009 the Company entered into an arrangement providing for the sale of 100 % of the Company’s interest in ITS Europe, Recarganet, and Teleconnect Telecom in addition to approximately 90% of its interest in Teleconnect Comunicaciones SA.  The stock purchase agreements for the sale of Recarganet, Teleconnect Telecom and Teleconnect Comunicaciones were formalized before a public Spanish notary on November 25, 2009 upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at the November 12, 2009 meeting.  The gain from the sale of the subsidiaries is expected to be approximately $3,096,000.

In November 2009, the shareholders of the Company voted in favor of a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of its common stock.  This reverse stock split has been reflected retroactively for all periods presented in these financial statements.

During the period of October 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009, an entity controlled by our Chief Executive Officer advanced the Company approximately $407,000 to help cover normal operating costs in the short term. The advances bear interest at 4%.

Subsequent to September 30, 2009, foreign exchange rates have changed; it is not practicable to determine the effect of these changes on these financial statements.

17. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred losses of $1,828,443 and $3,510,739 for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the Company has incurred substantial losses since its inception.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $4,556,000 and a total shareholders’ deficit of approximately $3,400,000.  In addition, the Company used approximately $1,275,000 and 2,972,000 of cash for operations in 2009 and 2008, respectively.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Management anticipates that it will be able to raise additional working capital.through additional loans from investors or related parties. Management plans include the creation of a clean and current holding company which can serve the interests of the operations of its subsidiaries; primarily located in Holland.   As a result of the recent sale of the Spanish subsidiaries, the focus of the Company is now retail based and no longer telecommunications based. Growth is expected organically as well as through acquisitions.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attain a satisfactory level of profitability and obtain suitable and adequate financing. There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful.

18. CORRECTION OF AN ERROR

During the quarter ending March 31, 2009, the Company recorded debt forgiveness income related to its discontinued operations of approximately $402,000 in error.  In addition the Company failed to record the sale of its subsidiary, ITSE, and the resulting gain of approximately $85,000 in the quarter ending June 30, 2009.  As a result, the Company recorded a correction of an error in the fourth quarter of 2009, which resulted in an increase in net loss of $307,000 in the fourth quarter.  The Company did not deem this adjustment to be material to any prior quarter in 2009 based upon both quantitative and qualitative factors.  In addition, this adjustment does not impact the 2009 fiscal year results.

19. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has two segments media kiosks and telecommunications.  Segment information for media kiosks are represented by continuing operations and discontinued operations (Note 3) for telecommunications in these financial statements.

Item 9.       Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There have been no disagreements regarding accounting and financial disclosure matters with the independent certified public accountants of the Company.

Item 9(A)T.    Controls and Procedures

A. 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of Spetember 30, 2009, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 13a-14(c)and 15d-14(c) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report on Form 10-K for September 30, 2009, has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not sufficiently adequate nor effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report on Form 10-K was being prepared. The actions being taken by the Company to address these ineffective disclosure controls and procedures are set forth in the following section.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13A-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) 
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect transactions involving our assets;

(2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management, and

(3) 
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009.  Our management has concluded that during the period covered by this report that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.    A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company has policies and procedures that require the financial statements and related disclosures be reviewed and that the financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company, in certain circumstances, utilizes a third party consultant to assist with the preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures.   The financial statements were not timely prepared and reviewed by Management.  Further, there were numerous audit adjustments related to the current year (2009) operations.

In order to mitigate this material weakness, management intends to implement procedures providing for the timely review of all subsidiary supplied financial statements, consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

The presence of these material weaknesses does not mean that a material misstatement has occurred in our financial statements, but only that our present controls might not be adequate to detect or prevent a material misstatement in a timely manner.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

There were no significant changes in the Company’s Internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date.   The audit adjustments made in this annual filing will likely affect our internal controls over financial reporting.  The Company recognizes certain weaknesses in its control procedures and is in the process of establishing the principles to correct these as well as to implement proper Corporate Governance; the first step of which is to name new members to the Board of Directors.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

The Company encourages control persons to be up to date with their filings in relation to Section 16.

2006 Stock Option, SAR and Stock Bonus  Plan

Effective March 30, 2006, the Company adopted and approved its 2006 Stock Option, SAR and Stock Bonus Plan which reserved 200,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan. The Plan allows the Company to issue awards of incentive non-qualified stock options, stock appreciations rights, and stock bonuses to consultants to the Company which may be subject to restrictions. As of September 30, 2009 total stock for services had been issued totaling 145,743 shares of Common Stock.

Benefit Plans

The Company does not have any pension plan, profit sharing plan, or similar plans for the benefit of its officers, directors or employees. However, the Company may establish such plans in the future.

Board Compensation

Directors of the Company have not received any compensation in their capacity as directors during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. 

Director and Officer Indemnification and Limitations on Liability

Article X of our Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of our Bylaws limit the liability of directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except in the following circumstances:

 
A violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer, employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;

 
A transaction from which the director, officer, employee, or agent derived an improper personal benefit;

 
In the case of a director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section 607.0834 under the Florida Business Corporation Act are applicable; or

 
Willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor on in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

This limitation of liability does not apply arising under federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and, is therefore, unenforceable.

Except as otherwise noted, it is believed by the Company that all persons have full voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated.

Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase the Common Stock of the Company.

(2)

We do not rely on pre-approval policies and procedures.
