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.

Serving as a telecommunications service provider in Spain for almost 10 years, the Company never fully reached expectations and decided late in 2008 to change its course of business. In November 2009, 90% of the Company’s telecommunication business was sold to a Spanish group of investors, and on October 15, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Hollandsche Exploitatie Maatschappij BV (HEM), a Dutch entity established in 2007. HEM’s business involves the age validation of consumers when purchasing products which cannot be sold to minors, such as alcohol or tobacco. This age validation business is at the core of the Company’s strategic direction. The Dutch companies acquired in 2007 (Giga Matrix, The Netherlands, 49% and Mediawizz, The Netherlands, 100%) are considered to function complementary to this new service offering.

Through the purchase of HEM and its ownership in Mediawizz and Giga Matrix, the Company now accesses all four pillars under its business model: the manufacturing and leasing of electronic age validation equipment, the performance of age validation transactions remotely, the performance of market surveys and the broadcasting of in-store commercial messages using the age validation equipment between age checks.

Products and service offering

Unlike the traditional ‘in store’ method of age validation, the Company’s system (‘Ageviewers’) is designed to check ages centrally. Using a special terminal at our customers’ checkout and a secure internet connection, during transactions involving products with a minimum legal age limit, a brief video connection is created between the terminal and an external age-verification center of the Company. At this center, specially trained verification personnel performs the actual age verification based on the incoming images of customers buying alcohol or tobacco. Also, the system provides for the exact age to be determined based on photo identification in such cases where the buyer is not unmistakably of age.

The operators of the external age-verification center are not in direct contact with the person being assessed. The chances of human error and integrity problems (due to intimidation, familiarity or disinterest, for example) are thus minimal. Equally important, because of the central approach, minors do not know in which stores non-compliance (if any) will occur. One of the key problems of age validation – that  age limits are neglected in a few, or in even just one store, which causes the effectiveness of the complete control system to be nil – cannot occur in an Ageviewers environment.  The system, therefore, completely aligns with what is legally expected of alcohol and tobacco distributors.

If a terminal is not in use (before or after age verification), the system can display specific advertising material. This may result in additional or alternative revenue. The system is also suitable for brief market surveys.

In addition, the Company has developed an in-store camera security system which has successfully been piloted in The Netherlands. The system, which serves outside opening hours, shares connections and part of the hardware needed in relation to age validation, and is therefore expected to be very cost effective for shop owners.

The Company’s hardware products are fully in compliance with the European Machine Directive and have been tested and approved for electromagnetic compatibility. The operations are momentarily limited to Europe and therefore not subject to specific regulation in the U.S., either at the federal or state level.

There are currently no known systems which are similar to Ageviewers, but the constant attention on penalties and on tightening sanctions with regard to the illegal sale of alcohol and tobacco will undoubtedly tempt others to become active in the area of age-verification. The Company has applied for patents for its specific technology. To date, several of these patent applications have been granted.

Service of components is provided from the office in Breda, The Netherlands, and can largely also be provided ‘remotely’. The customers’ terminals are linked with the Company’s database server and background tests are continuously performed to confirm that the technology is available. If the connection or operation of a terminal fails, an alert is immediately displayed on a central screen at the Company, indicating which location is affected by what problem.

Market

The Company is focused primarily on retail trade. For instance in the Netherlands (population 16.5M – the home market), some 7,500 liquor stores and supermarkets conduct about 350 million age-restricted transactions per annum and account for approximately 80% of all alcohol consumed. The operable European and US market is estimated to be at least 30 times larger.

Despite the increasing social pressure to improve the quality of age verification, and a trend towards self-scan checkouts (without personnel), there is a concentrated resistance within the alcohol industry and the supermarket branch to reorganizing the way that alcohol is sold. The efforts of the Company are therefore logically focused on breaking through the resistance in the market and offering an alternative for traditional age verification.

The objective is to introduce the Company’s products as efficiently as possible along the various paths in the retail trade, and at the same time to generate as much social support for the solution as possible. Sales are organized in such a way that these efforts and developments are well supported. Management is actively pursuing key strategic partners in the countries targeted in our business plan.
 
Management and personnel
 
The Teleconnect Board of Directors consists of three officers (Dirk Benschop, CEO and President; Gustavo Gomez, CCO and Les Pettitt, CFO) and two non-executive directors (Kees Lenselink, Director and Jan Hovers, Supervisory Director).

The Dutch wholly owned subsidiaries HEM and Mediawizz, and Giga Matrix, in which we hold an equity interest, are managed by a team of 4, with a staff of one administrative assistant. In addition 4 external specialists who are independent contractors support our automation processes. The validation center currently employs 8 operators directly and another 12 operators and one person to provide janitorial services through an employment agency.  There are 30 people involved in the operation as of September 30, 2011 of which none are represented by a labor union with respect to his or her employment by the Company. Except for management, all personnel work part time.

The Company currently operates 96 hours per week (coinciding with the opening times of the retail trade) and all operators work part time and in short shifts. In addition, the daily and weekly peaks and valleys in sales are extremely predictable, which makes it very simple to plan the number of required operators at a given moment of the day or week.

Stage of development of business

After bringing to market the Ageviewers solution in July 2010, by September of that year the Company had entered into contracts with over 20 individual alcohol outlets in the Netherlands each for a period of 36 months of which 6 stores had received delivery of the system. Since then, the Company has increased the number of contracts with retail stores to over 100. In all these initial contracts the Company receives revenues from advertising only. As per the date of this filing 4 of the initially contracted stores are fully equipped with the advertising module and approximately 50 more will be equipped before the end of March 2012. The Company, therefore, expects income from advertising to gradually ramp up during the next several financial quarters. 

In accordance with its business plan and after successfully creating the installed base, the Company is now leading its marketing efforts towards contracts that create revenue from hardware and transaction fees as well. As to this, and subsequent to year-end, the Company for the first time has agreed to install Ageviewers under these conditions in 3 Dutch supermarkets in early 2012. Due to stiffer penalties for sales of alcohol to minors and the announced intensified law enforcement in Holland, the Company expects that demand for Ageviewers will further develop as planned and that the number of paying clients will increase substantially during the fiscal year 2012.

As we expect independent, smaller retail organizations to take the lead in the use of Ageviewers, it is unlikely that a significant percentage of the Company’s revenue will be derived from just one or few customers during fiscal year 2012. After implementation of the new Alcohol and Catering Act in Holland however, which is now being dealt with in the Dutch Senate and which features a three-strike-out clause for supermarkets that sell to minors, the Company expects that also larger supermarket chains will gradually leave the concept of traditional age validation and chose the Ageviewers solution. In such cases, the Company intends to take the necessary precautions to prevent credit risks.

Depending on the pace with which we develop our home market, we anticipate that we will be in a position during the fiscal year 2012 to explore the US market. In order to do so, sufficient additional funding will be required. The Company is currently investigating options that lead to adequate financing of proposed US operations.

The Company spent approximately $176,488 on research and development in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. In addition HEM expended significant resources on research and development prior to its acquisition by the Company.
 
Discontinued operation

Even though the Company has discontinued its majority share in telecommunications in Spain, it has maintained a 10% stake in Teleconnect SA. During the fiscal year 2011, Teleconnect SA continued to provide prepaid voice telephone services to its customers.

Item 1A Risk Factors

Lack of profitability

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, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $33,282,158 and had a stockholders' deficit of $2,680,145. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had net loss of $3,262,566 in 2011 while it had net income of $1,972,838 in 2010 due to gain of $3,119,901 on the sale of the discontinued operations. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $10,107,484 as compared to its working capital deficit as of September 30, 2010 of $2,303,387.

Going concern

The Company has received a going concern opinion from its auditor.  It has not generated significant revenues from operations and there is no assurance that significant revenues will be generated in the future. The Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Need for additional funds

The Company disposed of its telecom activities in fiscal year 2010 and restructured its debt during fiscal year 2011. With the disposition of the business line, the Company changed its main business. This change requires the Company to secure sufficient funding to front the implementation and acceptance period in the market of the new services. Looking forward, when entering new markets with new innovative service offerings, such as the Ageviewers solution, we may not succeed in attracting sufficient funds to successfully accomplish the transition that is necessary to create a viable situation.

Exit for investors

While the Company’s Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, such market is thin and there can be no assurance as to the prices at which the shares will trade or that such shares will trade at all.  The actual 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.

The market: resistance

Despite the increasing need for measures protecting youth and limiting social damage, monitoring age limits effectively also meets resistance from political and other arenas. In many cases, the legal regulation is at odds with specific objectives in the alcohol and tobacco industries which can mobilize supply industries and distribution channels in their resistance. Examples include the advertising industry, or the supermarket branch, which is financially largely dependent on the marketing of alcohol and tobacco products.

The strategic resistance of the alcohol and tobacco industry to changes that may affect their main distribution; the loyalty of store owners and chains of stores to the traditional verification methods imposed by branch organizations and the price perception of clients with respect to Ageviewers are factors that might negatively affect the profitability and future of the Company.

Success dependent on success of Ageviewers

The primary sources of revenues of the Company are expected to be related to Ageviewers.  If the Company is not able to successfully market and sell Ageviewers, it will not generate sufficient revenues to survive.

Management and personnel

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.

If members of our senior management team or key personnel leave the Company, the Company’s ability to operate its business could be negatively affected. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in replacing management or key personnel in such events. Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of the senior management and these key personnel. 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.

 
5

 

Also, if our business grows, we might not be able to attract additionally required key employees or other highly qualified employees in the future. We have experienced this from time to time in the past, 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

Management has identified that future expansion outside The Netherlands requires us to enter into partnerships with local parties. Also, our sales rely on the efforts of branch organizations that support the use of Ageviewers. If we are unable to expand and maintain our sales representative and third-party sales channel relationships, then our ability to sell and support our services may be negatively impacted. In addition, no assurances can be provided that these third parties are committed sufficiently to our business, that they will meet their sales targets or that they will not develop their own competitive services.

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.

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 providing 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

The Ageviewers solution requires real-time communications between the retail stores and the centralized validation center. If the network infrastructure of the service provider 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 our computer systems or. 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, or future competitors, may have much greater resources to commit to growth, new technology and marketing. We cannot be sure that we will have the resources or expertise to successfully counter competition. Our competitors may be able to:

 
*  
develop and expand their, or alternative products 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

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:

 
*  
political climate at any point in time;
 
*  
the size and timing of significant equipment and software purchases;
 
*  
the timing of new service offerings;
 
*  
changes in our pricing policies;
 
*  
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 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

Governments are slowly developing stricter laws and increasing the penalties applied to those that sell alcohol or tobacco to minors yet some fail in the enforcement of those same laws. Lack of penalties and law enforcement significantly influence demand for effective age verification systems. No assurances can be provided that stricter laws will be implemented or existing laws will not be abolished. Also, no guarantees exist that governments will impose stricter law enforcement or that existing law enforcement will not be abolished.

In addition, there are no guarantees that privacy laws might not be changed in such way that processing personal data for the purpose of preventing minors to buy alcohol or tobacco will be illegal. In such circumstances, it would be impossible for the Company to continue its operations in age validation.

Consumer susceptibility for privacy issues

Abuse of personal data in any other system, such as camera systems or body scanners, might affect the public opinion on the automated processing of personal data and images. If the public opinion would turn against systems that process these data, this might severely affect our continuity.

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 6,436,882 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 as of September 30, 2011, which will be available for sale in the future. 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 hardware, components and parts for user terminals. 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, 2011, Mr. Hendrik van den Hombergh, owned directly and beneficially approximately 31.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of that date. During 2011, this stockholder has financially made possible the change in course described earlier. As of September 30, 2011, Mr. Leo Geeris remained a significant shareholder of the Company with 24.2% of the common stock of the Company. Subsequent to September 30, 2011, with the issuance of stock in relation to the closing of two independent private placements, the percentage ownership of Mr. van den Hombergh was 31.8% and that of Mr. Geeris became 22.9%.

Item 2.      Properties

The Company’s principal executive offices were located during fiscal 2011 at Oude Vest 4, 4811 HT, Breda, The Netherlands.

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, has been named in legal actions seeking monetary damages. During fiscal 2011, the Company continues its legal actions in The Netherlands against parties which owe money to the Company. In one of these cases, relating to the Company’s past telecommunications business, a party filed during fiscal 2010, in defense, a counterclaim against the Company. There have been no new events in this area. 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 Company's business or financial condition or results of operations.

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 reselling 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 from 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 hardware components from our Mediawizz subsidiary are recognized in the period in which title has passed and services have been rendered.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for employee equity awards under the fair value method. Accordingly, the Company measures stock-based compensation at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of stock option awards, if any, are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Estimated compensation cost relating to restricted stock awards, if any, are based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The compensation expense for stock-based awards is reduced by an estimate of forfeitures and is recognized over the expected term of the award under a graded vesting method.

 
10

 

Variable Interest Entities - We analyze 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 had two reportable segments in 2010; the age-validation sales and services, which as per September 30, 2011, encompasses HEM and Mediawizz, and telecommunications systems and related services (discontinued operations) which encompasses the companies of Teleconnect Comunicaciones SA, Teleconnect Telecom SL, Recarganet.  During 2011 we only have one reportable segment.

Discontinued operations - In March 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell ITS Europe, Teleconnect SA, Teleconnect Telecom and Recarganet to certain employees and officers of Teleconnect SA with the Company retaining 10% of Teleconnect SA. The Company formalized the sale before a public notary on November 25, 2009.

Overview

At the time of this filing, we derived our revenues from continuing operations primarily from the sale of multimedia terminals and hardware components to the suppliers of retail chains. These terminals 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 success of the four pillars described in our business model which 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.

Today, our existing revenues 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 affected 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 are expected to continue to influence future periods, which may compromise our ability to make accurate forecasts.

As of November 25, 2009, the Company no longer receives any revenues from the discontinued operations. The remaining 10% shareholding the Company has retained in Teleconnect SA, may provide for future revenue in the form of dividend and /or sales of stock.

On October 15, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of HEM. HEM’s core business involves the age validation of consumers when purchasing products which cannot be sold to minors, such as alcohol or tobacco. The Company regards this age validation business as its new strategic direction. The Dutch companies acquired in 2007 (Giga Matrix, 49% and Mediawizz, 100%) complement this new service offering.  

Year Ended September 30, 2011, compared to year ended September 30, 2010
 
Assets - Total assets as of September 30, 2011 increased 312.3% to $7,984,981 from $1,936,685 at September 30, 2010. This increase is due primarily to the purchase of HEM which increased assets as described in Note 5, Business Combinations, to the consolidated financial statements included in this filing. Other notable changes in assets were a $924,898 decrease in inventory which was from a sale of approximately $550,000 of slow moving inventory for approximately $68,000 as well as transfer of approximately $310,000 of inventory from Mediawizz to property and equipment in HEM as well as an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $73,000 which was related to the sale of slow moving inventory from Mediawizz.
 
Liabilities - Total liabilities as of September 30, 2011 increased 209.4% to $10,665,126 compared to $3,447,165 as of September 30, 2010. This increase is due primarily to the purchase of HEM which increased liabilities as described in Note 5, Business Combinations, to the consolidated financial statements included in this filing. In addition to the changes from the purchase of HEM, we received $2,330,167 in additional loans from related parties during the year ended September 30, 2011 to provide operating funds for the Company.

Revenues - Revenues from continuing operations for the year ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $112,722 compared to $254,446 in the prior year; a decrease of 55.7%. Current year revenues were partially derived from the sales of calling credit through kiosks that Mediawizz custom built and installed in supermarkets for a Netherlands customer. Even though the Company decided to terminate calling credit business during the 2010 fiscal year, one contract could not be ended and continues to produce some revenue into 2011. Mediawizz’ activities have been transformed during the fiscal year to compliment the Company’s future core business. The decrease in sales is attributed to this transformation and the fact that the Company has focused on the installation of over 100 age verification points in stores and supermarkets to demonstrate the effectiveness of the system and the acceptance of its use by the general public.  The Company did not anticipate generating revenue from these 100 installations other than future income from advertising. In accordance with its business plan and after successfully creating the installed base of 100 installations, the Company is now leading its marketing efforts towards contracts that create revenue from hardware and transaction fees as well. As to this and subsequent to year-end, the Company for the first time has agreed to install Ageviewers under these conditions in 3 Dutch supermarkets in early 2012.

Gain on bargain purchase - In 2011, we purchased Wilroot with assets of $9,884,076 for 675,505 shares of our Common Stock valued at $709,280 and the assumption of $7,740,102 in liabilities resulting in a gain on the bargain purchase of $1,434,694. Further information on this transaction is at Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

Pricing Policies - The pricing for our products and services from continuing business may vary depending on which combination of services is provided, the speed of service, geographic location and capacity utilization. It is not the intention of the Company to enter “price wars”, but the Company will market its Ageviewers solution at reduced cost at strategically selected locations if the reduced revenues can be offset with revenue generated from in-store commercial messages or market surveys, for example. The Company strives to differentiate itself with the effectiveness of its service and by achieving more added value from the hardware and connectivity installed with regards to age validation.

Client Contracts -Our contracts with customers include an agreed-upon price schedule that details both fixed and variable prices for contracted services. Our sales representatives can add additional services to existing contracts, enabling clients to increase the number of locations, for instance. Recent contracts for the age-verification service have been for a 36-month period. Most contracts entered into in 2011 provide the Ageviewer services in return for the rights to advertising revenue from the store.

Cost of Sales - Cost of sales from continuing operations for the year ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $766,742 as compared to $282,333 for the year ended September 30, 2010. Cost of sales increased 171.6% while revenues decreased by 55.7% due to our sale of slow moving inventory from Mediawizz during 2011 which accounted for $477,284 of cost of goods sold in the current year in addition to costs associated with the operation of the Ageviewers system.  The cost of sales in 2011 includes a charge for slow moving inventory of $155,545 compared to $57,467 in 2010. This cost of sales is primarily derived from maintaining the contracts previously mentioned which provide the Company with the technical acceptance, market exposure and credibility required upon which to base the new service offering.  The allocation of such costs are in line with the Company’s strategic plan. These expenditures have been efficient in achieving the results to date in the area of technical adaptation to market requirements, market exposure and user acceptance.

Accordingly; we reflected a gross loss during fiscal 2011 of $654,020 compared to gross loss in 2010 of $27,887.

Selling, General and Administrative - Selling, general and administrative expenses during 2011 were $2,883,521, an increase of $1,915,375 or 197.8% from the prior year’s operating expenses of $968,146. This increase is primarily due to the selling, general and administrative expenses associated with HEM and its consolidation of operations in the Company.

Interest Expense  -  Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2011 was $8,071 compared to $68,111 for the prior year; a decrease of $60,040 or 88.2%. This decrease was due primarily to an agreement reached with related parties to cease charging interest on related party loans during 2011.

Net cash used in operating activities

In 2011, the Company used $2,681,210 in operating activities primarily from operating losses including the effect of our sale of Mediawizz slow moving inventory valued at $477,000. The Company used $801,405 of its cash in operations in 2010 which was also primarily due to operating losses offset by our gain on sale of subsidiaries.

Net cash used in investing activities

The Company used cash in investing activities in 2011 of $342,161 for the purchase of fixed assets primarily in our HEM subsidiary.

Net cash provided by financing activities

The Company generated cash from financing activities of $3,040,075 in 2011 primarily through loans from related parties of $2,330,167 as well as from private placement totaling $714,400 to non-U.S. resident professional investors. During 2010, the Company generated cash from financing activities of $810,767 in 2010 through loans from related parties.

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, to increase borrowing, and 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 January 2010, the FASB issued amendments to existing accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. These amendments require additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further, this amendment requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments; however, we do not expect our adoption of these amendments to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued amendments to existing accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. The amendments improve comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements including (1) the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, (2) measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity, and (3) quantitative information required for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3. The amendments also provide guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio, and application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement. In addition, the amendments require additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. The amendments in this guidance are to be applied prospectively, and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued amendments to existing accounting guidance regarding comprehensive income. This update amended the provisions accounting guidance by eliminating the option of reporting other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Companies will have the option of presenting net income and other comprehensive income in a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or presenting two separate but consecutive statements of net income and comprehensive income. The new presentation requirements are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Therefore, this new presentation will first be reflected in the Company’s March 31, 2012 condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued amendments to existing accounting guidance regarding the testing of goodwill for impairment. This Update amended the accounting guidance by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

On October 8, 2010, at a meeting of the shareholders of Teleconnect Inc, all shareholders present, representing 91.69% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, agreed to approve the Company’s 2010 Stock Option, SAR and Stock Bonus Plan. At the same meeting, the shareholders ratified the decision of the Board of Directors to complete the purchase of HEM.
 
During the year ended September 30, 2011, a related party advanced the Company approximately $2,330,000 to cover short-term normal operating costs. The advances bear no interest for the fiscal year 2011.

On December 2, 2010 the Company agreed to issue 250,000 shares of Company common stock for approximately $349,000 in accrued related party interest.

On December 2, 2010, the Company reached an agreement that advances from a related party who has loaned the Company (including the newly acquired HEM) approximately $6.9 million will bear no interest for the period October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.
 
During March 2011, the Company settled $237,287 (€167,021) related party notes for $7,104 (€5,000).

Item 8.   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
 
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, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 and 2010, 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 20 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 20. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TELECONNECT INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2011
 
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 remotely performing age verification checks for retail stores and supermarkets in order to reduce the possibilities of selling alcohol and tobacco to under aged youths. Prior to November 25, 2009 (and our sale of the Spanish subsidiaries) the Company offered telecommunication services in Spain for home and business use (see Note 6).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teleconnect Inc. and its subsidiary MediaWizz for the year ended September 30, 2011 as well as its newly acquired subsidiaries Wilroot B. V. (Wilroot) and Hollandsche Exploitatie Maatschappij (HEM) since October 15, 2010, the date of acquisition. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary MediaWizz as well as those for its discontinued subsidiaries of Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom and Recarganet for the two months ended November 25, 2009; date at which they were sold. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounts and notes receivable -

Trade accounts receivable and notes 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. Also, accounts determined to be uncollectible are put in nonaccrual status whereby interest is not accrued on those accounts. Credit losses, when realized, have been within the range of the Company’s expectations. As of September 30, 2011, one customer accounted for 73% of accounts receivable.  As of September 30, 2010, one customer accounted for 94% of accounts receivables.

Advertising Costs -

Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred. There were $82,658 in advertising and sales promotion costs in 2011 and none in 2010.

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, 2011 was held in European financial institutions and are insured by the Dutch Central Bank, “De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB)” which, under its Deposit Guarantee Scheme,  guarantees deposits up to € 100,000 held by accountholders of a Dutch bank that becomes unable to meet its obligations.
  
Revenue Recognition -

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of multimedia hardware components in the period in which title has passed and services have been rendered. The Company recognizes revenue from narrowcasting and age validation services when services have been rendered and realization is assured.

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 effect 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.
 
 
20

 
 
Reclassifications –

Certain amounts in prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

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 currency (the Euro) 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 is stated at cost except for assets acquired using purchase accounting, which are recorded at fair value (see Note 4). 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 the useful life which is 3 to 5 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, 2011 and 2010, 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 (see Note 19) 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, 2011 and 2010 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 these instruments.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation –

The Company accounts for employee equity awards under the fair value method. Accordingly, the Company measures stock-based compensation at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of stock option awards, if any, are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Estimated compensation cost relating to restricted stock awards, if any, are based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The compensation expense for stock-based awards is reduced by an estimate of forfeitures and is recognized over the expected term of the award under a graded vesting method.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued amendments to existing accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. These amendments require additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further, this amendment requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued amendments to existing accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. The amendments improve comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements including (1) the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, (2) measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity, and (3) quantitative information required for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3. The amendments also provide guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio, and application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement. In addition, the amendments require additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. The amendments in this guidance are to be applied prospectively, and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued amendments to existing accounting guidance regarding comprehensive income. This Update amended the provisions accounting guidance by eliminating the option of reporting other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Companies will have the option of presenting net income and other comprehensive income in a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or presenting two separate but consecutive statements of net income and comprehensive income. The new presentation requirements are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Therefore, this new presentation will first be reflected in the Company’s March 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued amendments to existing accounting guidance regarding the testing of goodwill for impairment. This Update amended the accounting guidance by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair Value Measurements  under GAAP clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy, as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 that were still held at the end of the period, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets or portfolios at September 30, 2011:

5. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On October 15, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of Wilroot and its wholly owned subsidiary HEM (Wilroot/HEM). Previously Wilroot/HEM and the Company agreed, for the purpose of the transaction, to transfer effective control of Wilroot/HEM to the Company as of October 1, 2010. The Company issued 675,505 shares of its restricted common stock valued at $709,280 along with the assumption of debt and other liabilities of $7,740,102 for a total purchase consideration of $8,449,382.

HEM developed the age validation system “Ageviewers”. The Company’s existing subsidiaries MediaWizz and Giga are important parts of the Ageviewers system supply chain and combining them with Wilroot/HEM allows further integration of the system.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. As required by the applicable guidance in effect at the time of the acquisition, the Company valued all assets and liabilities acquired at their fair values on the date of acquisition. An independent valuation expert assisted the Company in determining these fair values. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity were recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and based on their estimated fair values.

In connection with the acquisition the Company acquired the Ageviewers software and the terminal and kiosk hardware designs. The Company valued the Ageviewers software based on replacement cost of development using current observable market rates for software engineers which resulted in a fair market value of $3,257,659. The terminal and kiosk hardware designs were valued based on replacement cost of development using current observable market rates for engineers which resulted in a fair market value of $690,347. The software and designs will be amortized over a useful life of 5 years.
 
The Company also acquired patents and processes associated with the Ageviewers system as well as its trade name. The patents and processes were valued by the Company using the relief from royalty valuation technique which resulted in a fair market value of $2,003,044. The Ageviewers trade name was also valued by the Company using the relief from royalty valuation technique which resulted in a fair market value of $1,082,549. The patents, processes and trade name are being amortized over a 10 year remaining life.
 
The fair value of the net assets acquired was in excess of the consideration paid by the Company, resulting in a "bargain purchase gain." Upon the determination that the Company was going to recognize a gain related to the bargain purchase, the Company reassessed its valuation assumptions utilized as part of the acquisition accounting. No adjustments to the acquisition accounting valuations were identified as a result of management’s reassessment. The bargain purchase gain is included in the other income (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2011. The events and circumstances allowing the Company to acquire Wilroot/HEM at a bargain were related to the ability of Wilroot/HEM to have access to public equity markets to raise funding for the rollout of Ageviewers in The Netherlands and the liquidity provided to the stockholders of Wilroot/HEM by gaining stock in the Company.

There is $38,940 of revenues and $1,757,522 of operating losses from Wilroot/HEM included in the consolidated financial statements for the period October 15, 2010 to September 30, 2011.

Pro-forma financial information

The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of the Company’s October 2010 acquisition of Wilroot/HEM as if the acquisitions and merger had been consummated as of October 1, 2009. The pro-forma earnings/(loss) for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 include the additional depreciation and amortization resulting from the adjustments to the value of property and equipment and intangible assets resulting from purchase accounting and a reduction in the interest expense between the companies. However, the pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisitions and merger been consummated as of October 1, 2009.

As a result of significant pre-tax losses, the Company cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.  Accordingly a full valuation allowance has been established against our deferred tax assets.  During 2011, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $5,562,842 to reflect the effect the acquisition of losses from HEM, adjustments from the 2010 income tax returns and currency translation effects.
 
The Company was delinquent in filing tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities in 2007. With respect to the fiscal year 2007 returns, $80,000 of penalties and interest have been abated and are included in the 2011 income tax benefit. With respect to the fiscal year 2008 returns, $50,000 of penalties and interest have been abated and are included in the 2010 income tax benefit offset by $330 in accrued state penalties and interest.  

Tax returns for the years ended September 30, 2008 through September 30, 2011 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

19. GIGA MATRIX HOLDING

Giga Matrix provides performance of market surveys and the broadcasting of in-store commercial messages using the age validation equipment between age checks. The Company accounts for its investment in Giga Matrix Holding, BV (“Giga”), including amounts due from Giga, under the equity method.  Pursuant to accounting guidance the Company has combined its investment in Giga and amounts due from Giga for purposes of determining the amount of losses to be recognized under the equity method, accordingly, the Company recognized $39,172 and $130,057 in losses on its equity investment during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s maximum exposure to further losses is limited to the amount due from Giga of $601,832.

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 due to the fact that the Company has no further financial obligations to support Giga, and therefore it is not required to be consolidated.

Assets and liabilities of Giga at September 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

20. 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 net losses of $3,262,566 for the year ended September 30, 2011 and $1,147,063 in 2010.  In addition, the Company has incurred substantial losses since its inception. 

 
27

 

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $10,107,484 as compared to its working capital deficit as of September 30, 2010 of $2,303,387.  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. 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.  Management has also completed the purchase of HEM to move toward profitability and has commitments from related parties for short-term financing and additional equity financing in relation to its private placement program.  Management expects additional financing through long-term borrowing and equity placements in the future.   There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2011 investors purchased 445,940 shares of the Company’s common stock for $406,500.

Subsequent to September 30, 2011, foreign exchange rates have changed; it is not practicable to determine the effect of these changes on 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).    Controls and Procedures

A.    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures .

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of September 30, 2011, 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, 2011, have 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, 2011.  Our management has concluded that during the period covered by this report that our internal control over financial reporting was not sufficiently effective and that there is a material weakness 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.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 the Company was required to restate the financial reports for the first two fiscal quarters due to errors relating to amortization of certain intangibles.
 
In order to mitigate this material weakness, management intends to implement procedures providing for the review of all subsidiary supplied financial statements, consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto to assure they are in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The presence of this material weakness 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.
 
B. Changes in Internal Controls . 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 Company identified certain weaknesses in its control procedures during 2011 and 2010 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 was to name three members to the Board of Directors in October 2010 as well as having established an Audit Committee, and a Stock Bonus Plan Committee.

2010 Stock Option, SAR and Stock Bonus  Plan

Given the lack of a Stock Bonus Plan at September 30, 2010 (due to the natural termination of the previous Plan dated 2006), the Company adopted and approved, effective October 8, 2010, its 2010 Stock Option, SAR and Stock Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) which reserved 500,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance. This Plan allows us to issue awards of incentive non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, and stock bonuses to Officers, Directors or consultants to the Company. As of the date of this filing, 112,584 shares have been issued under this 2010 Plan to a director of the Company.

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.

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.
