NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

December 31, 2011

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teleconnect Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teleconnect Inc. and its subsidiaries PhotoWizz BV (“MediaWizz”), Wilroot B. V. (Wilroot) and Hollandsche Exploitatie Maatschappij (“HEM”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The balance sheet at September 30, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011.

 

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.

 

2. 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.

 

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. 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.

 

   October 15, 2010
Wilroot/HEM
 
     
Current assets  $411,480 
Amount due from Teleconnect,  Inc   1,684,605 
Amount due from MediaWizz   456,744 
Total current assets   2,552,829 
Ageviewers software   3,257,659 
Property and equipment   350,485 
Terminal and kiosk hardware design   690,347 
Patents and processes   2,003,044 
Tradenames   1,082,549 
Net assets   9,936,913 
      
Purchase consideration   8,449,382 
      
Excess of net assets over purchase consideration (bargain purchase)  $1,487,531 

 

8
 

 

In the quarter ended September 30, 2011 the Company adjusted the purchase allocation resulting in a final excess of net assets over purchase consideration (bargain purchase) of $1,434,694.

 

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 condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2010. 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 $9,462 of revenues and $659,807 of operating losses from Wilroot/HEM included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period October 15, 2010 to December 31, 2010.

 

3. 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.

 

4. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company sold 639,960 shares of its common stock for $602,461 to qualified investors; these shares are subscribed but unissued as of the date of filing.

 

5. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recorded $80,000 of tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2010 due abatement of penalties and interest related to fiscal year 2007. The Company continues to record an income tax valuation allowance equal to the benefit of any remaining income tax carry-forwards due to the uncertain nature of its realization.

 

6. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding on that date during the applicable periods. There were no stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.

 

The following reconciles the components of the earnings (loss) per share computation for the three months ended December 31:

 

   2011   2010 
Basic and diluted loss per share computation          
Numerator:          
Net (loss) income  $(1,238,901)  $505,100 
           
Denominator:          
Weighted average common shares outstanding   6,945,833    5,597,872 
           
Basic and diluted (loss) income per share:  $(0.18)  $0.09 

 

7. GIGA MATRIX HOLDING

 

Giga Matrix Holding, BV (“GIGA” ) 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, 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 $9,585 and $12,626 in losses on its equity investment during the three months ended December 31, 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 $560,041.

 

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.

 

Results of operations of Giga for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

   2011   2010 
   (Unaudited)   (Unaudited) 
Net loss  $(19,562)  $(25,767)

 

8. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $10,078,770 and a loss form operations of $1,238,901 for the three months then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed 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.

 

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company sold 337,248 shares of its common stock to qualified investors (who are also related parties) for an aggregate amount of $337,870. The shares are subscribed but unissued as of the date of this filing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following information may contain certain forward-looking statements that are not historical facts. These statements represent our expectations or beliefs, including but not limited to, statements concerning future acquisitions, future operating results, statements concerning industry performance, capital expenditures, financings, as well as assumptions related to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “shall,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “should,” “continue” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes for future periods to differ materially from any forward-looking statement or view expressed herein. Our financial performance and the forward-looking statements contained in this report are further qualified by other risks including those set forth from time to time in documents filed by us with the SEC.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The Company’s business model is based on an innovative age validation system which verifies a consumers’ age when purchasing a product that is restricted from minors such as alcohol or tobacco and our revenues are derived 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. The Company is not reliant on any one specific customer for revenues.

 

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.

 

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.  

 

Cost of sales 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 will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including: the resistance to migrate from existing inefficient on-site age verification procedures, possible new competitors entering the market, 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 to which our products and services are sold.  Our gross profit will be adversely affected if relevant laws and regulations are not readily adopted by the retail chains or are not enforced by local government.

 

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 stabilize or increase slightly as the Company expands its points of sale in Europe as well as when it prepares itself to enter the U.S. market.

BALANCE SHEET COMPARISON AT DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

 

Assets: Total assets at December 31, 2011 decreased $701,905 or 8.8% to $7,283,076 compared to $7,984,981 at September 30, 2011.  This decrease is due primarily to the amortization and depreciation of patents, trade-names, property and equipment of approximately $323,000, as well collection of accounts receivable and prepaid taxes during the quarter.

 

Liabilities: Current liabilities at December 31, 2011 decreased $186,632 or 1.7% to $10,478,494 compared to $10,665,126 at September 30, 2011. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in loans from related parties resulting from a decline in the Euro/US Dollar exchange rate partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.

 

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010

 

We had net loss of $1,238,901 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to net income of $505,100 during the comparable period in 2010. A comparison of revenues and expenses for the two periods is as follows:

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 consisted of Installation and service revenues of $13,177 (2010: $2,445), calling credit of $4,926 (2010: $7,017), photo print services $663 (2010: $2,510) and other revenue of $619 (2010:$0).

 

Current quarterly 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 continued to produce some revenue into the fiscal quarter ended Decemebr 31, 2011. Over the past year, 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 or professional services rendered. In accordance with its business plan, and after successfully creating the installed base of 100 installations, the Company is now leading its marketing efforts toward contracts that create revenue from hardware and transaction fees as well. The Company for the first time has agreed to install Ageviewers under these conditions in 3 Dutch supermarkets in early 2012.

 

COST OF SALES

 

Cost of sales consisted of telecommunication costs of $15,731 (2010: $15,639), kiosk support costs of $10,881, (2010: $8,074), calling credit costs $4,926 (2010:$5,453), photo print costs $964 (2010: $1,548) and inventory write down of $11,516 (2010: $46,629).

 

The cost of sales are 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. The Company expects its costs of sales to increase in line with the installations of Ageviewers in supermarkets under the new commercial conditions.

 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased by $54,414 or 7.1% to $787,380 during the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $734,966 for the comparable period in 2010.  This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the additional cost of outside professional services.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, Teleconnect Inc. had negative working capital of approximately $10,079,000 and $10,107,000, respectively.  This increase of working capital is primarily a result of the change in the Euro/US Dollar exchange rate during the quarter.

 

The ability of the Company to satisfy its obligations and to continue as a going concern will depend on raising funds through the sale of additional shares of its common stock, increase borrowing, and 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 and the sale of Common Stock.

The Company intends to look for additional equity funding to pay debts and for working capital. However, there is no assurance that such capital will be raised, and the Company may seek bank financing and other sources of financing to complete the payment of debt and for working capital.

  ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the normal course of its operations, the Company, has been named in legal actions seeking monetary damages.

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 developments in this area.
