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.

In the
quarter ended September 30, 2011 the Company adjusted the purchase allocation resulting in a final e
xcess 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.

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:

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.

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
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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
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

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 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
and internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating
the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In
reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures and internal controls. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed
to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
As required by the Securities and Exchange
Commission Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation
of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable
assurance level.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal
controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of its operations,
the Company, has been named in legal actions seeking monetary damages. During the first fiscal quarter of 2012, 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 developments 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.
