NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

March 31, 2010

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 six month periods ended March 31, 2010 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 subsidiary PhotoWizz BV (“MediaWizz”) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom and Recarganet for the period beginning October 1, 2009 and ending November 25, 2009; date at which these subsidiaries were sold.  For the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries ITS Europe, Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom, PhotoWizz BV (“MediaWizz”), and Recarganet.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The balance sheet at September 30, 2009 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, 2009.

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts (and related party) receivables, accounts payable and notes payable, are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short term or contractual maturities.
 
We have evaluated subsequent events that have occurred since March 31, 2010 through May 12, 2010.
 
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In December 2009, the FASB issued amendments to   existing accounting guidance to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. The amendment also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, the amendment provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2010, and it did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
    
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell ITS Europe, Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom and Recarganet to certain employees and officers of Teleconnect Spain with the Company retaining 10% of Teleconnect Spain. The sale of ITS Europe to certain employees and officers of Teleconnect Spain for €1 and the assumption of ITS Europe debts was completed on May 14, 2009.  Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom and Recarganet were officially sold on November 25, 2009, resulting in a gain on the sale of subsidiaries of $3,200,137.

Due to continuing losses at Teleconnect Spain, the Company considered the 10% interest retained to be impaired and assigned no value to it.

Summarized financial information (which consists principally of Teleconnect Spain) included in discontinued operations is as follows for the period October 1, 2009 to November 25, 2009, and the three and six month period ended March 31, 2009, respectively:

4. LOANS FROM RELATED PARTIES

During the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company obtained approximately $402,000 and $628,000 respectively, in additional short term loans from shareholders, net of currency translation adjustments. These loans bear interest between 4% and 8% annually, are unsecured and due upon demand.

5. INCOME TAXES

The Company has not recorded any income tax expense or benefit for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. For the six months ended March 31, 2010 taxable income was offset by the use of net operating losses from prior periods. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 the Company recorded an income tax valuation allowance equal to the benefit of any income tax carryforward because of the uncertain nature of realization.

6. LOSS ON INVESTMENT

The Company accounts for its investment in Giga Matrix Holding, BV (“Giga”), including amounts due from Giga, under the equity method and recognized losses of $103,503 and $44,626 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company has advances to Giga $485,412 and $530,992 at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with the $103,503 of current year losses reserved against the balance at March 31, 2010.

7. EARNINGS (LOSS) 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. Stock options for 1,000,000 shares that were outstanding at March 31, 2009 have not been included in diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  There were no stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2010.

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

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

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 3, 2010 the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire 100% of Hollandsche Exploitatie Maatschappij BV (HEM) in The Netherlands. The purchase price contemplated by the letter of intent is 12% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, post emission.   Both parties agreed to pursue a Company shareholder’s meeting by the end of June, 2010 to approve a final purchase agreement.  HEM, established in 2007, developed an age validation system, “Ageviewers”, which utilizes the Company’s products in its processes.
 
9 . GOING CONCERN

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company’s recent losses and cash requirements, among other things, may indicate the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.  Management is currently controlling expenses and conserving cash while exploring possible sales of equity and/or debt financing to improve the Company’s working capital position. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attain a satisfactory level of profitability and obtain suitable and adequate financing. There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful.

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

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

Our revenues from discontinued operations are primarily from the sale of our long-distance telecommunication services. On November 25, 2009 we completed the sale of the discontinued operations.

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

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

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

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, finance, accounting, legal and human resources personnel, professional fees and corporate expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to stabilize in the short term in absolute dollars as we will employ fewer hours to maintain the Company’s current status with its SEC filings than to bring the Company current in 2009. Major efforts today are focused on preparing the Company to be compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404.

On May 3, 2010 the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire 100% of Hollandsche Exploitatie Maatschappij BV (HEM) in The Netherlands. The purchase price contemplated by the letter of intent is 12% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, post emission.   Both parties agreed to pursue a Company shareholder’s meeting by the end of June, 2010 to approve a final purchase agreement.  HEM, established in 2007, developed an age validation system, “Ageviewers”, which utilizes the Companies products in its processes.

BALANCE SHEET COMPARISON AT MARCH 31, 2010 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

 
Assets: Total assets at March 31, 2010 decreased $1,709,539 or 45.4% to $2,055,793 compared to $3,765,332 at September 30, 2009.  This decrease is due to the sale of discontinued operations which accounts for approximately $1,261,000 of this difference as well as to the collection of accounts receivable during the period; a reduction of inventory at Mediawizz due to recording a provision for slow moving products and recognition of loss from equity investment of approximately $104,000.

Liabilities: Current liabilities at March 31, 2010 decreased by $4,190,753 or 58.5% to $2,974,233 compared to $7,164,986 at September 30, 2009.  This decrease is due primarily to the elimination of approximately $4,377,000 of liabilities associated with the discontinued operations.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009 (CONTINUING  OPERATIONS)

We incurred a net loss of $335,712 ­­­­­­­­­­­­ ­­­­­­ for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $312,861 ($427,598 from continuing operations) during the comparable period in 2009. A comparison of revenues and expenses for the two periods is as follows:

REVENUES

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010, decreased by 99.9%, or $94,950, to $111 from $95,061 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in sales is attributed to the fact that the Company did not ship any kiosks during the quarter as a customer of a current 150 kiosk order requested a delay in shipping additional units. Company management also was focusing energy on marketing the kiosks to a 550 store association of liquor stores in The Netherlands for use in age verification.  The Company also discontinued sales of calling credit through the kiosks early in the quarter to focus energies on the age verification market for the kiosks.  Revenues during 2009 were primarily derived from the sales of kiosks and the sales of calling credit through kiosks that Mediawizz custom built and installed in supermarkets for a Netherlands customer.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales decreased 87.2% or $93,644 to $13,773 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $107,417 during the same period in 2009. The decrease in cost of sales is directly related to the decrease in sales, however there were some excess capacity costs associated with the discontinued sales of calling credit during the period.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 36.2 % to $224,049 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $351,115 for the comparable period in 2009.  This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the reduction of additional outside professional services related to the Company’s delinquent regulatory filings in 2009.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009 (DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS)

The discontinued operations were sold on November 25, 2009 and had no activity during the three month ended March 31, 2010.

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009 (CONTINUING  OPERATIONS)

We incurred net income of $2,529,858 ($644,635 loss from continuing operations offset by income of $3,174,493 from discontinued operations) for the six months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $662,293 ($699,782 from continuing operations) during the comparable period in 2009. A comparison of revenues and expenses for the two periods is as follows:

REVENUES

Sales for the six months ended March 31, 2010, increased by 56.0%, or $84,175, to $234,510 from $150,335 for the comparable period in 2009. The increase in sales is attributed to the fact that 2009 revenues primarily were derived from the sales of kiosks and calling credit through kiosks that Mediawizz custom built and installed in supermarkets for a Netherlands customer.  Where the sales of calling credit in these supermarkets formerly was organized through both service desks and kiosks, in 2009, the sales at these service desks were discontinued thus generating more traffic and increasing sales through the kiosks. While sales of the calling credit had been increasing during the first quarter it was determined in the current quarter that the margins from those sales were unacceptable and sales of calling credit was discontinued. Also, Mediawizz delivered a new lot from a previously agreed 150 terminal-order, during the first quarter, but due to customer request, further deliveries were deferred until later in the year.   Company management also was focusing energy on marketing the kiosks to a 550 store association of liquor stores in The Netherlands for use in age verification which slowed production of the kiosks during the second quarter.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales increased 12,4% or $20,223 to $183,906 during the six months ended March 31, 2010 from $163,683 for the comparable period in 2009. The increase in cost of sales is associated to the increase in sales (56.0%), however, the fact that the cost of sales increased less than the sales is partly due to efficiencies gained in our assembly process and operations of kiosks. In addition, the main factor influencing this comparison is the increase in sales of calling credit which has a much lower associated cost of sales than the assembly of the kiosk hardware.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1.0 % to $581,749 during the six months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $587,840 for the comparable period in 2009.  This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the reduction of additional outside professional services related to the Company’s delinquent regulatory filings in 2009.

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009 (DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS)

We incurred $3,174,493 of net income from discontinued operations for the six months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net income of $37,489 during the comparable period in 2009. The discontinued operations were sold on November 25, 2009 resulting in a gain of approximately $3,200,000.  Revenues, Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased from the prior comparable period due to the fact the entities were sold during the first two months of the current fiscal year.


At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, Teleconnect Inc. had negative working capital of approximately $1,400,000 and $4,556,000, respectively.  The improvement is primarily due to the effect of the sale of the discontinued operations which provided a gain on the sale of approximately $3,200,000.

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

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

The Company intends to look for additional 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 additional debt.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell ITS Europe, Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom and Recarganet to certain employees and officers of Teleconnect Spain with the Company retaining 10% of Teleconnect Spain.  The results of operations of these subsidiaries were reported as “discontinued operations” and assets and liabilities have been separated on the balance sheet. Going forward the Company will account for the 10% of Teleconnect Spain by the cost method. The sale of ITS Europe to certain employees and officers of Teleconnect Spain was completed on May 14, 2009.  Teleconnect Spain, Teleconnect Telecom and Recarganet were officially sold on November 25, 2009.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

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