or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one
person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A

person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or
warrants to purchase the Common Stock of the

PROPOSAL
1
1 for 100 REVERSE STOCK
SPLIT
Material
Terms, Potential Risks and Principal Effects of the One-For-One Hundred Reverse
Stock Split
Our Board
of Directors has approved a resolution to effect a one-for-one hundred reverse
stock split of the Common Stock of the Corporation (the “Reverse Split”). The
Board of Directors believes that the Reverse Split is in the best interest of
the Corporation and its stockholders for the following reasons: 1) the reduction
in the number of outstanding shares is better adapted to the true book value of
the Corporation, 2) an increase of the trading price of its Common Stock should
result, 3) an increase in the price of the Common Stock could, in turn, generate
greater investor interest in the Corporation, 4) the marketability of the Common
Stock to the financial community would thereby be enhanced, and 5) the potential
increases in the trading price and greater interest from the financial community
could ultimately improve the trading liquidity of the Corporation’s common
shares.
The
trading price of the Corporation’s Common Stock has recently been approximately
$.01 per share with little or no trading activity. By the reverse
stock split, it is expected that a reasonable price per share value will be
obtained, particularly after the Corporation divests itself of its previous
non-profitable telephone operations. The reverse stock split will
also make unissued shares of Common Stock to become available for future
issuance for cash investments and for possible future acquisitions.
In
summary, for all the reasons detailed above, the Corporation believes that the
Reverse Split will ultimately maximize stockholder value by increasing the
attractiveness of the stock to the financial community thus resulting in greater
liquidity of the free float.
The
immediate effect of the Reverse Split would be to reduce the total number of
shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock from 495,361,707 to approximately
4,953,617 shares issued and outstanding. However, the Reverse Split will affect
all of the holders of all classes of the Corporation’s Common Stock uniformly
and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the
Corporation or proportionate voting power, except for insignificant changes that
will result from the rounding of fractional shares.
The
Reverse Stock Split will become effective promptly after the meeting of the
stockholders.
After the
Reverse Split becomes effective, there can be no assurance that the bid price of
the Common Stock will continue at a level in reverse proportion to the reduction
in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the Reverse Split. For
example, based on the closing price on the Pink Sheets of our Common Stock on
August 21, 2009, of $0.003 per share, when the Reverse Split is implemented at
the one-for-100 ratio, there can be no assurance that the post-split market
price of our Common Stock would be $0.30 or greater. Accordingly, the initial
total market capitalization of our Common Stock after the proposed reverse stock
split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed
reverse stock split.
Additionally, the liquidity of our
Common Stock could be affected adversely by the reduced number of shares
outstanding after the Reverse Split. Although the Board believes that a higher
stock price may help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance that
the Reverse Split will result in a per-share price that will attract
institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will
satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds.
As a result, the decreased liquidity that may result from having fewer shares
outstanding may not be offset by increased investor interest in our Common
Stock.
No
fractional shares will be issued for any fractional share interest created by
the Reverse Split, and stockholders will receive a full share of Common Stock
for any fractional share interests created by the Reverse Split.
The
Reverse Split will also likely result in some stockholders owning “odd-lots” of
fewer than 100 shares of Common Stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of
transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of
transactions on “round-lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.
The
Reverse Split will not change the number of authorized shares of the Common
Stock as designated by our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, which
currently authorizes us to issue 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The
issuance in the future of such authorized shares may have the effect of diluting
the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership
and voting rights, of the currently outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
Because
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will remain at 500,000,000 and
the Reverse Split only applies to our issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the number of authorized, but unissued, shares of Common Stock will in
effect increase after the Reverse Split, as compared to pre-Reverse Split.
Although this action is not intended to have any anti-takeover effect and is not
part of any series of anti-takeover measures contained in any debt instruments
or the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation in effect on
the date of this Proxy Statement, the Corporation’s shareholders should note
that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock could make any attempt to gain control of the Corporation or the Board
more difficult or time consuming and that the availability of additional
authorized and unissued shares might make it more difficult to remove
management. Although the Board currently has no intention of doing so, shares of
Common Stock could be issued by the Board to dilute the percentage of Common
Stock owned by a significant shareholder and increase the cost of, or the number
of, voting shares necessary to acquire control of the Board or to meet the
voting requirements imposed by Florida law with respect to a merger or other
business combinations involving the Corporation.
Before
and immediately following the Reverse Split, the number of shares of the
Corporation’s Common Stock will be as follows (subject to slight adjustment for
rounding of fractional shares):
|
|
Common
Stock Outstanding
|
|
|
Authorized Common
Stock
|
|
Before
Reverse Split
|
|
|
495,361,707
|
|
|
|
500,000,000
|
|
After
1 for 100 Reverse Split
|
|
|
4,953,617
|
|
|
|
500,000,000
|
|
The Corporation does not have any
current plans to issue any additional shares of Common
Stock. However, future stock offerings and acquisitions may occur in
the ordinary course of business to establish financing for substantial business
operations.
Certain
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The
following summary of certain material federal income tax consequences of the
Reverse Split does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the
possible federal income tax consequences and is included for general information
only. Further, it does not address any state, local, foreign or other income tax
consequences, nor does it address the tax consequences to stockholders that are
subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated
investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident
alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. The discussion is
based on the United States federal income tax laws as of the date of this
Information Statement. Such laws are subject to change retroactively as well as
prospectively. This summary also assumes that the shares of Common Stock are
held as “capital assets,” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending on the facts and
circumstances of such stockholder.
EACH
STOCKHOLDER IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH SUCH STOCKHOLDER’S TAX ADVISOR WITH
RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT.
No gain
or loss should be recognized by a stockholder as a result of the Reverse Split;
provided, however, any whole shares received in lieu of fractional shares may
result in a taxable gain or loss. The aggregate tax basis of the shares received
in the Reverse Split will be the same as the stockholder’s aggregate tax basis
in the shares exchanged. The stockholder’s holding period for the shares
received in the Reverse Split will include the period during which the
stockholder held the shares surrendered as a result of the Reverse Split. The
Corporation’s views regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Split are not
binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there is no
assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would accept the
positions expressed above. The state and local tax consequences of the Reverse
Split may vary significantly as to each stockholder, depending on the state in
which such stockholder resides.
Implementation
of Reverse Split
The
Reverse Split will occur regardless of, or when, stockholders physically
surrender their stock certificates for new stock certificates. When effected,
our transfer agent, Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer, will act as exchange agent
(“Exchange Agent”) to implement the exchange of stock certificates. Persons who
hold their shares in brokerage accounts or
“street name”
would not be
required to take any further actions to effect the exchange of their
certificates. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, we or the
Exchange Agent will send a letter to each stockholder of record at the Effective
Date for use in transmitting certificates representing shares of our Common
Stock (“Old Certificates”) to the Exchange Agent. The letter of transmittal will
contain instructions for the surrender of Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent
in exchange for certificates representing the appropriate number of whole shares
of New Common Stock. No new stock certificates will be issued to a stockholder
until such stockholder has surrendered all Old Certificates, together with a
properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the Exchange Agent.
Stockholders would then receive a new certificate in exchange for certificates
representing the number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which their
shares of Common Stock have been converted as a result of the Reverse Split.
Until surrendered, we will deem outstanding Old Certificates held by
stockholders to be canceled and only to represent the number of whole shares of
New Common Stock to which these stockholders are entitled. All expenses of the
exchange of certificates will be borne by the Corporation.
IT
IS NOT NECESSARY TO OBTAIN OR REQUEST
A NEW STOCK CERTIFICATE FROM THE STOCK TRANSFER AGENT. HOWEVER, YOU
MAY CONTACT OUR STOCK TRANSFER AGENT TO REQUEST A NEW STOCK CERTIFICATE IF YOU
DO DESIRE BY CONTACTING FLORIDA ATLANTIC STOCK TRANSFER AT 7130 NOB HILL ROAD,
TAMARAC, FLORIDA 33321, (954) 726-4954
PROPOSAL
2
RATIFICATION
OF SALES OF SPANISH SUBSIDIARIES
Our Board
of Directors of the Corporation has approved a resolution to sell its Spanish
subsidiary companies that are both engaged in the telecommunications
industry. The operating subsidiaries are Teleconnect Comunicaciones
SA and Teleconnect Telecom SL (the “Subsidiaries”). The objective of the sale of
these companies is to relieve the Corporation of the strain of a continued cash
drain caused by their negative cash flow and lack of profitability of the
Subsidiaries.
The
financing of the Corporation has relied on the financial ability and willingness
of a few major shareholders. The Corporation is therefore not only exposed to
market risks, but given the current world financial crisis, it is also very
vulnerable should these shareholders not be able to continue supplying
sufficient funds, or should these shareholders decide to demand repayment. As a
consequence, the Corporation needs to reach cash positive cashflow from
operations as soon as possible.
The
Subsidiaries being sold by the Corporation hold approximately 33% of the total
assets of the Corporation and 50% of the liabilities of the
Corporation. The operating losses of the Subsidiaries have continued
and its level of operations have declined. The Board of Directors has
decided that it is in the best interest of the Corporation to discontinue its
previous telephone business and to sell the Subsidiaries with its dated
telephone equipment that was purchased in 2000, including the switching
equipment and computers. The Board of Directors believe that stopping
the continuing telephone business losses will permit the Corporation to more
effectively pursue other business opportunities that may present themselves to
the Corporation.
The
Corporation has entered into an agreement to sell the Subsidiaries and seeks the
ratification of the Corporation’s shareholders regarding the sale of Teleconnect
Comunicaciones SA and Teleconnect Telecom SL.
The
Corporation entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 25, 2009, to
sell the Subsidiaries to three executives of the Subsidiaries and a private
investor for 1,000 Euros and their assumption of the substantial financial
obligations of the Subsidiaries.
The names
and addresses of the buyers are:

Mr. de Borbon is an officer of the
Corporation, and he has been the President of each of the
Subsidiaries. Ms. Ocana, and Mr. Lopez Angulo have been and are
executive officers of the Subsidiaries. Mr. Maria Garcia is a private
investor with this group.
The
Corporation will sell 100% of its stock of Teleconnect Telecom and will sell
approximately 86% of its Teleconnect Communicaciones stock to the
buyers. The sale of the Subsidiaries to the buyers will relieve the
Corporation of any future commitments to continue to fund the Subsidiaries which
have continuously operated at a loss since their establishment in Spain in
2002.
After the
sale of the Subsidiaries, the Corporation will continue to own and operate two
other subsidiaries that it owns, specifically, PhotoWizz BV (a/k/a MediaWizz)
organized in Holland (100% owned) and Giga Matrix (49% owned) also organized in
Holland. These subsidiary companies are primarily engaged in selling
customer loyalty programs and telephone marketing.
Selected Financial

$3,510,739 and $2,999,829 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. In addition, the Corporation has incurred substantial
losses since its inception. As of September 30, 2008, the Corporation
had a working capital deficit of approximately $5,287,000 and a total
shareholders’ deficit of approximately $3,809,000. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going
concern if the status quo is maintained.
The Board
of Directors believes the telecom operations should no longer be the core
business of Teleconnect which has generated significant losses since
inception. Current management does not want to continue to invest
funds into the Spanish Subsidiaries that have been and are operating at a
loss. The Board of Directors believe that the sale of the Spanish
Subsidiaries’ with their liabilities allows the Corporation to improve its
balance sheet by reducing its liabilities by approximately 50%. The
assets of the Spanish Subsidiaries comprise approximately 33% of the total
assets of the Corporation.
The Board
of Directors has deemed it in the best interest of the Corporation to sell these
Spanish companies and to focus its efforts on new non-telephone retail
businesses. The Corporation has identified other areas of business
development which it believes could lead to improved consolidated financial
results. The Corporation is currently in negotiations with other
parties in the attempt to crystallize the synergies which
exist. There can be no guarantee that the Corporation will be
successful in its plans to reach an agreement with any target corporation nor
can there be any guarantee as to the magnitude of the effect of any agreement on
shareholders’ value. The successful outcome of any negotiations may
be partially affected by the Corporation’s ability to successfully execute
certain actions previously approved by the Board of Directors and presented to
the shareholders for approval.
The Board
of Directors believes that the future success of the Corporation does not lie in
its existing telephone business’ its business plan in the future will be focused
on activities which are believed to have better possibilities of increasing
shareholder value. No specific acquisition plans have been determine
or negotiated by the Corporation.
