TELECONNECT INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2014

 

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 and nine months ended June 30, 2014 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, 2013 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, 2013.

 

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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard outlines a five-step model for revenue recognition with the core principle being that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers control of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Companies can choose to apply the standard using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. Under the modified approach, financial statements will be prepared for the year of adoption using the new standard but prior periods presented will not be adjusted. Instead, companies will recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. For public entities this new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.  The Company has not yet made a determination been made as to the method of application (full retrospective or modified retrospective). It is too early to assess whether the impact of the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

2. LOANS FROM RELATED PARTIES

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014 the Company sold promissory notes with a face value of $262,081 (€191,500) and 814,894 shares of its common stock together as a package to qualified investors for $524,161 (€383,000). An outstanding loan €28,000 to related party was applied to the purchase of these stock and note packages. The purchase price was allocated to the notes and stock based on the relative fair value of each with $349,441 allocated to the shares and $174,721 allocated to the promissory notes, therefore a discount on the notes of $87,360 was recorded and is being amortized over 1 year.

 

Loan discount amortization of $67,788 and $191,235 is included in interest expense for the three and nine months ended June, 30, 2014, respectively. The promissory notes bear 6% interest and are due when the Company has positive cash flow from operations.

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014 the Company issued promissory notes of $227,502 which are due in one year and bear 8% interest. If the notes are not paid at the due date, the principal plus accrued interest will convert to shares of Company common stock at the rate of €0.30 ($0.41) per share. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 notes in the amount of $171,438 (€125,000) and accrued interest of $3,033 (€2,214) were converted into 424,045 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The weighted average interest rate of the loans from related parties for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was 4.91%.  

 

3. NOTE PAYABLE

 

As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 the Company has three short-term bridge loans totaling $553,149 and $546,953, respectively, from potential investors. The notes bear interest between 0% and 8% per year and are due on demand.

 

4. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

5. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014 the Company issued 814,894 shares of its common stock in relation to the sale of common stock and promissory note packages to qualified investors (See Note 2). The purchase price was allocated to the notes and stock based on the relative fair value of each with $349,440 allocated to the shares and $174,721 allocated to the promissory notes.

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014 the company sold 1,062,911 shares of its common stock for $437,682.

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014 notes in the amount of $171,438 (€125,000) and accrued interest of $3,033 (€2,214) were converted into 424,045 shares of the Company’s common stock (See Note 2).

 

On July 31, 2013 the Company entered into an agreement with the Trustee of 2,293,067 shares, representing 24.14% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, in the name of Hombergh Holdings BV and Quick Holdings BV, such that these shares were to be repurchased by the Company for a total of €500,000 payable as described below.

 

In exchange, the Trustee agreed to irrevocably forgo his right to claim the return of €7,608,938 in loans made to the Company by Hombergh Holdings BV and Quick Holdings BV and the associated interest accrued up to the date of the agreement on receipt of a €200,000 installment which was paid with the signing of the agreement. The second installment of €200,000 was paid to the Trustee on September 30th, 2013 and the third installment of €100,000 was paid in December 2013. The trustee returned the last 625,334 share certificates to the Company in December 2013.

 

6. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has not recorded any federal income tax expense or benefit for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, mainly due to available net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded an income tax valuation allowance equal to the benefit of any deferred tax asset because of the uncertain nature of realization. 

 

7. LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding on that date during the applicable periods. There were no stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2014 or 2013.

 

The following reconciles the components of the earnings (loss) per share computation for the three months ended June 30:

8. 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 $2,947 and $8,201 in losses on its equity investment during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $10,194 and $27,085 during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, Respectively.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s maximum exposure to further losses is limited to the amount due from Giga of $569,802.

 

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 nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

 

   2014  2013
   (Unaudited)  (Unaudited)
           
Net loss  $(20,805)  $(55,277)

 

 

9. 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 $2,448,322 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and $2,936,659 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.  In addition, the Company has incurred substantial losses since its inception. 

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,843,965 as compared to its working capital deficit as of September 30, 2013 of $2,087,316.  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 anticipates that additional financing through long-term borrowing and equity placements will be necessary in the future.  There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful.

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2014 the Company received €227,170 ($310,269) for 824,406 shares of the Company’s common stock.

INTRODUCTION

 

The Company’s business model involves the age validation of consumers when purchasing age restricted products, such as alcohol or tobacco. This age validation business is at the core of the Company’s strategic direction. Our revenues are derived from the sales and leasing of age validation equipment, the performance of age validation as well as the sale and maintenance of vending solutions (through Mediawizz), and the broadcasting of in-store commercial messages using the age validation equipment between age checks (through HEM). Our revenues and operating results will depend in the future upon 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.

 

The amended Alcohol and Catering Act took effect in The Netherlands as of January 1, 2013. After this date, Dutch law enforcement authorities could temporarily close the alcohol section of supermarkets when they are repeatedly caught selling alcohol to minors. It was expected that the enforcement of this change would generate a significant demand for Ageviewers. Political resistance, however, has delayed the enforcement of the Act. With public awareness increasing, it is expected that the retail outlet demand for Ageviewers will commence shortly.

 

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.

 

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 from retailers 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 increase 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 JUNE 30, 2014 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

 

Assets: Total assets at June 30, 2014 decreased $911,521 or 16.9% to $4,476,712 compared to $5,388,233 at September 30, 2013.  This decrease is due primarily to the depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and intangible assets during the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Liabilities: Current liabilities at June 30, 2014 increased $725,045 or 29.1% to $3,212,786 compared to $2,487,741 at September 30, 2013. This increase is due primarily to an increase in accrued liabilities to related parties of $269,644 related to both the accrued interest of related party notes and additional unpaid management fees, and an increase in loans from related parties of $430,914.

 

OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013

 

We had net loss of $768,043 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to a net loss of $906,479 during the comparable period in 2013, a decrease of 15.3% or $138,436. A comparison of revenues and expenses for the two periods is as follows:

 

REVENUES

 

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $9,674 as compared to revenues for the same period in 2013 of $30,670; a decrease of $20,996 or 68.5%.

 

Current revenues were derived from sales of kiosk equipment. The breakdown of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 consists of revenues of $9,186 from sale of kiosk equipment, $326 from narrowcasting, and $162 from miscellaneous. The breakdown of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 consists of revenues of $21,186 from sale of vending machines, $3,349 from Samsonite sales, $4,634 from Clarity sales, and $1,501 from miscellaneous.

 

COST OF SALES

 

Cost of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 was $33,959 as compared to $57,225 for the same period of 2013; a decrease of 40.7% or $23,266. During the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the breakdown of costs of sales consists of telecommunications costs of $11,788, vending machine costs of $9,100, kiosk support costs of $1,827 and inventory write-downs of $11,244.

During three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the cost of sales included costs derived from maintaining the contracts in relation to its age-validation business which provide the Company with the technical acceptance, market exposure and credibility required upon which to base the 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 decreased by $108,441 or 23.7% to $348,825 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $457,266 for the comparable period in 2013.  This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a decrease in the cost of outside professional services and management fees.

 

OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013

 

We had net loss of $2,448,322 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to net loss of $2,936,659 during the comparable period in 2013, a decrease of 16.6% or $488,337. A comparison of revenues and expenses for the two periods is as follows:

The breakdown of 2014 costs consisted of telecommunications costs of $36,354, kiosk costs of $112,867, kiosk support costs of $18,350 and inventory write-downs of $33,882. During nine month period ended June 30, 2013, the breakdown of costs of sales consists of telecommunications costs of $39,790, vending machine costs of $218,543, kiosk support costs of $7,159, inventory write-downs of $32,840, photoprint costs of $226 and other miscellaneous costs of $7,012.

 

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2014, the cost of sales also included costs derived from maintaining the contracts in relation to its age-validation business which provide the Company with the technical acceptance, market exposure and credibility required upon which to base the 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 decreased by $479,240 or 28.5% to $1,203,771 during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $1,683,011 for the comparable period in 2013.  This difference is due to a decrease in the cost of professional services and management fees.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, Teleconnect Inc. had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,843,965 and $2,087,316, respectively.  This decrease of working capital, $756,649 or 36.2%, is primarily a result of the increase in total current liabilities of $725,045 as detailed previously.

 

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 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.

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