FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Annual Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements
involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements
regarding our business strategy, future revenues and anticipated costs and
expenses. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those
statements including the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,”
“may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “plans,” “estimates,” and similar language or
negative of such terms. Our actual results may differ significantly from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed
in Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.” You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we do not know whether we can achieve positive future
results, levels of activity, performance, or goals. Actual events or results
may
differ materially. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions
to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances taking
place after the date of this document.

World, Corp.
Notes

March

Note
1 – Organization
Organization
TelePlus
World, Corp. ("TelePlus") is a diversified North American company that is
a
leading provider of telecommunications products and services. TelePlus, founded
in 1999, has continued to grow organically and through strategic acquisitions.
The company's wholly owned subsidiaries include Telizon, Inc., a reseller
of
landline, long distance, internet and specialized telecom financial management
services to small and mid size businesses and Avenue Reconnect and Freedom
Phone
Lines, providers of landline and long distance services to targeted residential
markets.
TelePlus’
telecom services include value added bundled commercial telecommunications
packages including local lines, long distance, toll free and high speed internet
services to customers in 53 distinct Centrex Serving Areas. The value added
component, in addition to significant cost savings, results from TelePlus
acting
as a virtual telecommunications department to its clients, interfacing on
their
behalf with the underlying wholesale carrier providers for all items pertaining
to their existing services and future needs.
In
addition to also providing stand-alone long distance services to the commercial
market, TelePlus telecom division provides long distance and internet services
to targeted residential markets. Residential clients are part of the unbanked
market segment, highly underserved by the incumbent carriers and currently
representing 10%-20% of the population.
On
January 15, 2008 the Company completed the sale of substantially all the
assets
of the wireless operations in the U.S. to COZAC, LLC. The assets included
customer lists, assumed airtime contracts, trade names, domain names, logo,
marketing reports and customer collateral. The purchased price payable by
purchaser to vendor for the purchased assets is satisfied by the purchaser
assuming the liabilities as of the date of this agreement under the Sprint
agreement, the MVNO Sherpa agreement, and the assumption of liabilities owed
to
the vendor “People Support”.
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Risk
Related to the Company’s Business
These
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in
the
normal course of business. We have experienced recurring operating losses
since
our inception and our accumulated net deficit is in excess of $16 million.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts or the amounts
and
classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to
continue as a going concern. The disposition on January 15
th
2008 of
our wireless assets will help us improve cash flows for 2008. Our telecom
operation has historically delivered a stable performance with an increase
in
sales, number of customers and cash flow since our acquisition of this business
in July 2005. While we believe this performance to continue we cannot precisely
predict future performance. We believe that available cash resources, together
with anticipated revenues from operations may not be sufficient to satisfy
our
business plan and capital requirements through December 31, 2008.
Additional capital may not be available on a timely basis or on acceptable
terms, if at all. If we are unable to maintain or obtain sufficient capital,
we
may be forced to reduce operating expenses, sell business assets or take
other
actions which could be detrimental to our business operations.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all of
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Significant
Estimates
Critical
accounting polices include the areas where we have made what we consider
to be
particularly subjective or complex judgments in making estimates and where
these
estimates can significantly impact our financial results under different
assumptions and conditions.
We
prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required
to
make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable
based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the
periods presented. Actual results could be different than those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term
investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Discontinued
Operations
The
Company has followed Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (“SFAS
144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
Accordingly, the Company recognized as discontinued operations the results
from
the retail and wireless divisions that have been abandoned or sold. At December
31, 2007, the net assets relating to the retail and wireless divisions had
been
written down to their respective fair values (see note 8).
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
Under
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. (“SFAS 142”), goodwill and
other indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but instead
are
reviewed for impairment annually and on an interim basis if events or changes
in
circumstances between annual tests indicate that an asset might be impaired.
Under SFAS 142, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment
by
comparing their fair values to their carrying values. Testing for impairment
of
goodwill is a two-step process. The first step requires the Company to compare
the fair value of its reporting units to the carrying value of the net assets
of
the respective reporting units, including goodwill. If the fair value of
the
reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill of the reporting
unit
is potentially impaired and the Company then completes Step 2 to measure
the
impairment loss, if any. The second step requires the calculation of the
implied
fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and
intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting
unit. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less then the carrying amount
of
goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference. Intangible
assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful
lives.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company has goodwill value of $9,402,638.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue through the resale of residential and commercial
telephone lines. The resale of long distance revenues are recorded at the
time
of customer usage based upon minutes of use. Basic monthly charges for business
and residential customers are billed in advance and recorded as unearned
revenue
and recognized upon the customer receiving the service.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company conducts business and extends credit based on an evaluation of the
customers’ financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure
to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial
condition of each customer. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses
and
maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the
circumstances. The criteria for allowance provision are determined based
on
historical experience and the Company’s assessment of the general financial
conditions affecting its customer base. If the Company’s actual collections
experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. As of March
31,
2008, the Company has an accounts receivable allowance of $45,298.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting.
Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences
between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted
tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred
tax
assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.
Currency
Translation
The
Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the
Company’s U.S. subsidiary is the U.S. dollar, while the functional currency of
its Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. The Company translates income
and expense amounts of its Canadian subsidiary at average exchange rates
for the
quarter, and translates assets and liabilities of its Canadian subsidiary
at
quarter-end exchange rates and equity at historical rates. The Company records
these translation adjustments as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Comprehensive
Income
The
Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No, 130,
“Reporting Comprehensive Income,” (SFAS No. 130). SFAS No. 130 requires the
reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income from operations.
Comprehensive income includes gains and losses on foreign currency translations.
Comprehensive
income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes
disclosure of information that historically has not been recognized in the
calculation of net income (loss).
Deferred
Connection Charges
Deferred
connection charges are costs incurred in setting up new commercial telephone
lines. The Company amortizes deferred connection charges over five years.
The
determination of the useful life is based on the average life that the telephone
line is provided by the Company. Amortization of the deferred connection
charges
for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 is $19,732.
Deferred
Financing Fees
Deferred
financing fees represents fees paid in connection with the issuance of
convertible debentures. The fees are being amortized over a period of three
years, the life of the financial instrument. As of March 31, 2008, the deferred
financing fees are $534,599. Amortization of the deferred finance fees for
the
quarter ended March 31, 08 is $112,722.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with highly quality
financial institutions as determined by the Company’s management. To reduce risk
of trade accounts receivable, ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial
condition are performed, guarantees or other collateral may be required,
and the
Company maintains a broad customer base.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments (other than Derivative Financial
Instruments)
The
carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and
cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value
because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
For the convertible debentures, fair value approximates the face value of
the
remaining principle amount of the debentures (see note 4).
Convertible
Instruments
The
Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity securities for
indications requiring bifurcation, and separate accounting, for the embedded
conversion feature. Generally, embedded conversion features where the ability
to
physical or net-share settle the conversion option is not within the control
of
the Company are bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial
instrument. (See Derivative Financial Instruments below). Bifurcation of
the
embedded derivative instrument requires allocation of the proceeds first
to the
fair value of the embedded derivative instrument with the residual allocated
to
the debt instrument. The resulting discount to the face value of the debt
instrument is amortized through periodic charges to the amortization of debt
discount using the Effective Interest Method.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge
exposures to cash-flow or market risks. However, certain other financial
instruments, such as warrants or options to acquire common stock and the
embedded conversion features of debt that are indexed to the Company’s common
stock, are classified as liabilities when either (a) the holder possesses
rights
to net-cash settlement or (b) physical or net share settlement is not within
the
control of the Company. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed
for
financial accounting and reporting, even when the terms of the underlying
contracts do not provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments
are
initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value
at the
close of each reporting period. These derivative financial instruments are
indexed to an aggregate of 6,157,791,999 shares of the Company’s common stock as
of March 31, 2008 and are carried at fair value of $ 6,548,438
.
Upon
conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked
to
fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified
to
equity.
Advertising
Costs
The
Company expenses the costs associated with advertising as incurred. Advertising
expenses are included in the consolidated statements of operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Fixed
Assets
Fixed
assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the
assets which are machinery and equipment with estimated useful lives ranging
between three and seven years; business software with estimated useful lives
ranging between three and ten years; and leasehold improvements with an
estimated useful life of five years.
When
assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss
is
recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs
is
charged to income as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are
capitalized. Deduction is made for retirements resulting from renewals or
betterments.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, primarily fixed assets and intangible assets, are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. The Company does
not
perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of
such
information or indicators. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment
assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of
an
asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is
used,
or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount
of
an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to
be held
and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying
amount
is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the
impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and
estimated fair value.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic
net
earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) includes
additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable
pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents
will not be included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when
the
Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods
presented. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008 these common stock equivalents
are derived from stock options of 10,200,000, warrants of 149,100,000 and
convertible debentures of 6,157,791,999
.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that
compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized
in
the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope
of
SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based
awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation requires recognition and
measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not”
approach. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,
2006. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007 and this new standard
did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This
standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair
value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements
issued
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is
encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115”, (“FAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates.
A
business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items
for
which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value
measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those
fiscal
years. The adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS
141 (R)”), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAF 141(R) requires assets and liabilities
acquired in a business combination, contingent consideration, and certain
acquired contingencies to be measured ath their fair values as of the date
of
acquisition. SFAS 141 (R) also requires that acquisition-related costs and
restructuring costs be recognized separately from the business combination.
SFAS
141 (R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and
will
be effective for business combinations entered into after January 1,
2009.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”).
SFAS 160 clarifies the accounting for non-controlling interests and establishes
accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary, including classification as a component of equity. SFAS 160 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company
does
not currently have any minority interests.

CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
On
December 13, 2005, the Company entered into a certain Securities Purchase
Agreement (“SPA”) with Yorkville Advisors (“YA”), pursuant to which YA was
issued $9,225,000 in secured convertible debentures dated December 13, 2005
under the SPA. Under the SPA, the Company and YA entered into various agreements
as described below. The convertible debentures are convertible in whole or
in
part, at any time and from time to time before maturity at the option of
the
holder at the lesser of $0.275 or ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest
volume
weighted price of the common stock for the thirty trading days immediately
preceding such conversion date. The convertible debentures which are secured
by
certain pledged assets of the Company have a term of three (3) years, have
piggy-back registration rights and accrue interest at a rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum. In connection with the convertible debentures, the Company
issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock as financing fees. The amount funded
included a restructuring of the third promissory note funded in July 2005
of
$5,625,000 plus interest of $225,000 plus an additional funding of $3,375,000.
On
July
28, 2006, the Company entered into a second SPA with YA pursuant to which
the
Company issued to YA $3,000,000 in secured convertible debentures dated as
of
July 28, 2006. The debentures were fully funded on July 28, 2006, are
convertible, in whole or in part, at any time from time to time before maturity
at the option of the holder at the lesser of (a) $0.20 or (b) 90% of the
lowest
volume weighted average price of common stock for thirty trading days
immediately preceding the conversion date. The Company has the option to
redeem
a portion or all of the amounts outstanding under the debentures prior to
the
maturity date of the debentures. The debentures have a term of three years,
piggy-back registration rights and accrue interest at a rate equal to ten
percent (10%) per year. The debentures are secured by certain pledged assets
of
the Company. The parties have also entered into an Investor Registration
Rights
Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed, if required by YA, to
provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations there under, and applicable state
securities laws.
In
connection with the SPA, the Company also issued YA the following warrants
to
purchase shares of common stock:
c)
|
10,000,000
at $0.15; and
|
On
July
3, 2007, the Company entered into a third SPA with YA pursuant to which the
Company issued to YA Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in secured convertible
debentures (the "Debentures"). The Debentures were fully funded on July 3,
2007.
The Debentures are convertible, in whole or in part, at any time and from
time
to time before maturity at the option of the holder at the lower of (a) $0.035
or (b) ninety-five percent (90%) of the lowest volume weighted average price
of
common stock for twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the conversion
date. Beginning on August 2, 2007, and continuing on the first Trading Day

its
common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and
recapitalizations) to YA at exercise prices ranging between $.20 and $0.38
per
share. The warrant is exercisable until December 13, 2008. YA cannot exercise

of
the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock unless the
exercise is made within sixty days prior to December 13, 2008. The shares
issued
upon excise of the warrant have piggyback and demand registration rights

an
adequate number of shares to effect any right of conversion exercised by
YA
under the warrant and the convertible debenture described above. The Company
also agreed to pay Yorkville Advisors Management, LLC, a company affiliated
with
YA Capital, a fee equal to $342,500.
Amended
and Restated Subsidiary Security Agreement
.
The
Company entered into an amended and restated subsidiary security agreement
dated
December 13, 2005. The material terms of the amended and restated subsidiary
security agreement are the same as the security agreement that the Company
executed with YA.
Each
of
the three convertible debentures meet the definition of hybrid instruments,
as
defined in SFAS 133,
Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS
No. 133). The hybrid instruments are comprised of a i) a debt instrument,
as the
host contract and ii) an option to convert the debentures into common stock
of
the Company, as an embedded derivative. The embedded derivative derives its
value based on the underlying fair value of the Company’s common stock. The
Embedded Derivative is not clearly and closely related to the underlying
host
debt instrument since the economic characteristics and risk associated with
this
derivative are based on the common stock fair value. The Company has separated
the embedded derivative from the hybrid instrument and classified the Embedded
Derivative as a current liability with an offsetting debit to debt discount,
which will be amortized over the term of the debenture based on the effective
interest method.
The
embedded derivatives do not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under
SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative
are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a gain or loss on
the
embedded derivative financial instrument in the accompanying statements of
operations. There was a gain of $115,298 and a loss of $352,744 respectively
recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
The
Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivatives and records
them
as a discount to the debt and a derivative liability on the date of issue.
The
Company recognizes an immediate financing expense for any excess in the fair
value of the derivatives over the debt amount.
The
allocation of the proceeds of the convertible debenture to the warrants and
the
conversion feature resulted in discounts to the convertible debenture of
$7,779,174, $3,000,000, and $3,000,000 for the $9,225,000, $3,000,000 and
$3,000,000 convertible debentures, respectively, on the date of issuance
and is
being amortized to par using the effective interest method. The amortization
for
the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $765,855 and $822,194,
respectively. Additionally, in July 2007 the Company recognized a financing
expense of $871,261 representing the excess of the fair value of the derivative
instruments in the July 2007 debentures, over the debt proceeds.
Upon
conversion of the debt to equity, any remaining unamortized discount is charged
to interest expense.
The
derivative liability at March 31, 2008 is comprised of the
following:
i)
The
embedded derivative associated with the December 2005 $9,225,000 convertible
debenture at fair value of $3,473,700; ii) the embedded derivative associated
with the July 2006 $3,000,000 convertible debenture at fair value of $1,792,075;
iii) the embedded derivative associated with the July 2007 $3,000,000
convertible debenture at fair value of $1,264,481; iv) 33,000,000 warrants
issued in conjunction with the $9,225,000 convertible debenture at fair value
of
$23; v) 30,000,000 warrants issued in conjunction with the July 2006 $3,000,000
convertible debenture at fair value of $105; and vi) 80,000,000 warrants
issued
in conjunction with the July 2007 $3,000,000 convertible debenture at fair
value
of $18,054
Interest
expense on the convertible debentures was $341,515 and $644,657 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Accrued interest at March 31, 2008 is
$2,506,603
There
was
a gain on the derivative liabilities of $115,298 for the quarter ended March
31,
2008 and a loss of $352,744 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Proposed
Tax Assessment
:
3577996
Canada, Inc. which the Company had acquired substantially all of their assets,
is involved in proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec (“MRQ”). The
MRQ has proposed an assessment for the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and Quebec
Sales Tax (“QST”) of approximately $642,000 (CND $) and penalties of
approximately $110,000 (CND $). The proposed tax assessment including penalties
is for $322,000 (CND $) for QST and $320,000 (CND $) for GST. In mid to late
2006, the MRQ issued Amended Reassessments after the Company contested.
These amounts were reduced (including penalties) to approximately QST $350,000
(CND $) and GST $308,000 (CND $). The Company again contested these
Amended Reassessments and believes that certain deductions initially disallowed
by the MRQ for the QST are deductible and is in the process of compiling
the
deductions to the MRQ.
Wrongful
Dismissal
:
A
former employee of a subsidiary of the Company, has instigated a claim in
Quebec
Superior Court in the amount of $90,000 (CND $) against the Company for wrongful
dismissal. The Company does not believe the claim to be founded and intends
to
vigorously contest such claim. The parties are in the discovery
stages.
Consulting
Fee
:
On
April 13, 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court,
District of New Jersey (Newark) (Case No. 05-2058) by Howard Salamon d/b/a
“Salamon Brothers” (as the plaintiff) against the Company. This matter arises
out of an alleged agreement between the plaintiff and the Company. The plaintiff
is seeking specific performance of the alleged agreement, monetary damages
and a
declaratory judgment for the payment of a commission allegedly due to the
plaintiff in an amount equal to 10% of all funds received by the Company
from
YA. The Company has filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff seeking
rescission of the alleged agreement and a refund of $100,000 paid by the
Company
to the plaintiff. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit,
that
the plaintiff’s claims are unfounded and that the Company has good defenses
against the claims asserted by the plaintiff. The Company also believes that
it
has good claims for the rescission of the agreement and for the refund of
the
amount paid to the plaintiff. The Company intends to contest and defend against
the plaintiff’s claims. The foregoing notwithstanding, total liability to the
Company, should it lose the lawsuit, could reach a maximum of 10% of all
funds
received by YA.

vendor filed a lawsuit in Miami-Dade County, Florida against the Company’s

the

PROVISION
FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred
income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of
the
Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on
the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are
included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to
differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases.
At
March
31, 2008, deferred tax assets consist of the following:

operating losses

At
December 31, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward in the
approximate amount of $10,000,000, available to offset future taxable income
through 2025. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full
amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization
of
the operating losses in future periods.

DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS
On
January 13, 2006, Retail filed in Canada a Notice of Intention to Make a
Proposal Under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the “Act”). This was
done to divest the Company of its retail division. As a result, Retail was
deemed to have made an assignment of its assets to its creditors under the
Act
and discontinued its operations as of February 12, 2006. The retail operations
will no longer be a segment of the Company’s business for the year ending
December 31, 2006. Therefore, the Company reclassified as discontinued
operations the operating results of this division.
In
December, 2007, the Company announced the intent to sell or close the wireless
operations in the U.S. On December 21, 2007 the Company advised its shareholders
that the Company has decided to exit the MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator)
business segment (the "MVNO Segment") operated by its Liberty Wireless and
Maximo Impact brands. Market conditions for this segment of the Company's
operations have become adverse in the last few months making it difficult
for
the Company to turn a profit in the MVNO Segment. Notwithstanding the Company's
efforts over the last few months to improve the performance of the MVNO Segment
the Company does not believe it will turn a profit in that segment in the
foreseeable future. Company intends to focus its efforts on its core
telecommunication service which represents the bulk of the company's revenues,
is profitable and provides good cash flows to fund ongoing operations. Exiting
the MVNO Segment (which has been operating at a loss) will improve the Company's
profitability and cash flow although it will reduce the Company's annual
revenues by about $4.5 million dollars. On January 15, 2008 the Company
completed the sales of substantially all the assets of the wireless operations
in the U.S. to COZAC, LLC. The assets included customer lists, assumed airtime
contracts, trade names, domain names, logo, marketing reports and customer
collateral. The purchased price payable by purchaser to vendor for the purchased
assets is satisfied by the purchaser assuming the liabilities as of the date
of
this agreement under the Sprint agreement, the MVNO Sherpa agreement, and
the
assumption of liabilities owed to the vendor “People Support”.
The
following represents the comparative operating results of these divisions
for
the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 that is reflected as discontinued
operations.

Business
Development
TelePlus
World, Corp. ("TelePlus") is a diversified North American company that is a
leading provider of telecommunications products and services. TelePlus, founded
in 1999, has continued to grow organically and through strategic acquisitions.
The company's wholly owned subsidiaries include Telizon, Inc., a reseller of
landline, long distance, internet and specialized telecom financial management
services to small and mid size businesses and Avenue Reconnect and Freedom
Phone
Lines, providers of landline and long distance services to targeted residential
markets.
TelePlus’
telecom services include value added bundled commercial telecommunications
packages including local lines, long distance, toll free and high speed internet
services to customers in 53 distinct Centrex Serving Areas. The value added
component, in addition to significant cost savings, results from TelePlus acting
as a virtual telecommunications department to its clients, interfacing on their
behalf with the underlying wholesale carrier providers for all items pertaining
to their existing services and future needs.
In
addition to also providing stand-alone long distance services to the commercial
market, TelePlus telecom division provides long distance and internet services
to targeted residential markets. Residential clients are part of the unbanked
market segment, highly underserved by the incumbent carriers and currently
representing 10%-20% of the population.
On
January 15, 2008 the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets
of the wireless operations in the U.S. to COZAC, LLC. The assets included
customer lists, assumed airtime contracts, trade names, domain names, logo,
marketing reports and customer collateral. The purchased price payable by
purchaser to vendor for the purchased assets is satisfied by the purchaser
assuming the liabilities as of the date of this agreement under the Sprint
agreement, the MVNO Sherpa agreement, and the assumption of liabilities owed
to
the vendor “People Support”.

the increase of its customer base.
In

acquisitions:
|
·
|
Keda
Consulting Corp., a North American telecommunications industry management
consulting service company on April 1, 2005 specializing in business
development, sales and marketing and operations. Following this

and
Internet service provider on June 1, 2005 headquartered in Windsor,

of total households and the market size is estimated at over $ 1
billion.

Market
Overview - Telecom
The
Canadian communications service industry, including telecommunications services
and broadcast distribution, which is the Company’s primary market, accounts for
approximately 3% of GDP.
Canada’s
telecom environment is fully privatized, with the government having no holding
on any telecom carrier. Operators within the Canadian market are described
as
either incumbents or competitors. The large incumbents include Bell Canada,
TELUS, Bell-Aliant, MTS and SaskTel. Small incumbents serve mostly municipal
areas generally located in less densely populated areas. Competitors include
facilities-based competitors, non-facilities-based resellers, cable companies
and more recently utility telcos.
The
traditional fixed-line market remains dominated by the incumbents, while the
wireless sector remains dominated by Bell Mobility, TELUS Mobility and Rogers
Wireless. However, due to the introduction of competing service providers and
competing services, the incumbents’ share of total industry revenues has
steadily been declining. Total telecommunications services revenues amounted
to
$36.1 billion in 2006, a 4.5% increase on 2005. A similar annual growth rate,
of
around 5 % is estimated for 2008 and 2009.
Broadband
and wireless revenues continue to demonstrate a trend of strong growth, with
increases of approximately 18% and 15% respectively during 2007. Local and
access line revenues have remained stagnant at approximately $9.3 billion since
2003. Wireless revenues surpassed local and access revenues in 2004 and the
gap
continued to widen through 2005 to 2007. As the telecommunications sectors
move
increasingly towards IP-based networks, the telecommunications and broadcasting
sector have begun to converge, with a move towards a triple play model of
services.

late 1990’s, wireless subscriber growth has been constant. Growth rate was
approximately 9% in 2007. By September 2007 Canada’s subscriber numbers had
reached 19.3 million, a penetration rate of around 60%, a rate significantly
lower than most of its OECD counterparts. Notably, Canada’s wireless penetration
figures are approximately 15-20% lower than those of the USA. Thus Canada still
has significant room for further growth before saturation levels are
reached.
Strong
revenue growth is further increased by the use of data and content services
such
as SMS and MMS messaging, browsing and downloading. Thus while overall wireless
revenues grew by 15% for 2007, data revenues grew by a resounding 50%. With
increasing subscriber numbers and minutes of use, voice revenue growth remained
healthy, at around 11% for basic voice and 17% for long distance voice. Growth
rates will continue to be driven by data and content services as networks become
more advanced to allow for greater use of such services.
Management
Team
Our
senior management is led by Marius Silvasan, our President and Chief Executive
Officer, and Cris M. Neely, our Chief Financial Officer. Other members of our
management team include senior level executives who have extensive experience
in
management, business development, marketing, sales and customer support. In
addition to our management team, we believe we have assembled a highly capable
and active Board of Directors.
Sales
and Marketing
Sales
We
execute our sales strategy either by interacting directly with the potential
customer (direct sales), or indirectly through independent sales
consultants
We
manage
all customer opportunities in projects where our sales and technical resources
are deployed. The projects are initiated either through direct contacts with
the
customer, through our strategic sales consultants or through customer inquiries
generated through marketing activities.
Marketing
We
employ
a coordinated marketing strategy which includes initiatives such as direct
lead
generation, public relations, direct marketing campaigns and customer
relationship management. This gives us numerous alternatives in regards to
marketing messages and competitive positioning. Regardless of the competitive
environment, we feel confident going to the target market with business
proposals that will provide low cost solutions.
The
marketing strategy will be a combination of different marketing initiatives.
We
plan to implement this strategy on a business-to-business marketing philosophy,
which is targeted to build a mutually advantageous long-term relationship with
the customer. This calls for knowing the customer enough to deliver relevant
solutions in a timely manner and meeting their specific needs.
We
plan
to build value through marketing based assets, such as brand, customer and
employee relationships and intellectual capital. We aim to effectively employ
and manage solutions that create value to the customer through our intellectual
capital and that minimize the requirement for capital asset
investment.

Results
of Operations and Financial Condition
Quarter
Ended March 31, 2008 versus March 31, 2007
Total
Operating Revenues from Continuing Operations
The
Company generated $4,811,012 of revenues from continuing operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $3,866,859 from continuing
operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $944,153 or
24%.
The increase was attributable to the focus placed on executing our business
plan
in targeting specific niches. The combination of our voice, internet and long
distance offerings combined with the execution of our customer service strategy
allowed us to better service our clients at a competitive price point. This
resulted in an overall increase in the number of customers while closely
managing churn.
Total
Operating Costs and Expenses from Continuing Operations
Total
operating costs and expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were
$4,708,981 from continuing operations as compared to $4,101,604 from continuing
operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This represented an increase
of
$607,377 or 15%. Of these amounts, $3,388,415 (70% of revenues) and $2,785,316
(72% of revenues), respectively comprised of costs of services, which increased
primarily due to higher sales volumes in Teleplus Connect Corp. voice solutions.
These costs are reflective of the high cost of acquiring and the initial ramp-up
of new customers. We are currently operating with tight cost controls to gain
efficiencies in the operation and help mitigate the higher cost of acquiring
new
customers. The payroll, professional fees and related expenses of $824,032
decreased 3% as compared to $849,197 in 2007. Advertising, marketing and general
administrative expense were $54,091 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as
compared to $55,173 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Depreciation
and amortization expenses reached $252,150 for the quarter ended March 31,
20078
as compared to $201,971 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 including
depreciation on the Company’s fixed assets and amortization on the Company’s
intangible assets, and deferred connection charges. The Company determines
the
fair value of the undiscounted cash flows annually, or sooner if circumstances
change and determination is required, to value any impairment on its goodwill,
intangible assets and long-lived assets. As of March 31, 2008, the Company
has
determined that there is no impairment charge. The intangible assets, not
including goodwill are currently being amortized over estimated lives ranging
from 2 to 20 years.
Operating
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
Operating
income (loss) for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $102,031 from continuing
operations as compared to $(234,745) for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
The
increase was attributable to the increase of revenue and improvement of product
profit margin.
Other
Income (Expense) from Continuing Operations
Included
in other income (expense) is amortization of the deferred financing fees paid
to
Yorkville Advisors (“YA”) (formerly Cornell Capital Partners, LP) in association
with the Securities Purchase Agreement and Secured Convertible Debenture entered
into with YA on December 13, 2005, July 28, 2006 and July 2, 2007. The
amortization charge for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $112,722
and $99,149, respectively. The Company also recognized amortization on the
debt
discount on the convertible debenture of $765,855 and $822,194 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 based on the Effective Interest Method
calculation, and recognized a gain/(loss) on the valuation of its derivative
liability of $115,298 and $(352,744) respectively resulting from a
decrease/increase in our stock price.
Interest
expense was $377,811 compared to $644,346 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively. The interest expense is primarily due to the convertible
debentures.
Net
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
The
Company reported net income (loss) from continuing operations of $(1,117,007),
or $(0.01) per share on a basic and diluted basis for the quarter ended March
31, 2008 versus $(2,153,177), or $(0.02) per share on a basic and diluted basis
for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in our loss is primarily
attributable to the Company’s charges related to their convertible debenture
financing for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 versus 2007. The operating income
(loss) lines in the consolidated statements of operations is believed by
management to be the true indicator of the Company’s performance during the
period.
Provision
for Income Taxes
There
was
no provision for income taxes for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The Company has approximately $10,000,000 of net operating loss
carryforward as of December 31, 2007, that the Company has reserved in a full
valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the balance in cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $261,807 from continuing operations.
As
of
March 31, 2008, the Company had $2,108,108 in current assets primarily
consisting of $135,588 in cash and cash equivalents, $1,681,673 in accounts
receivable – trade, $201,905 in other accounts receivable, $88,393 in prepaid
expenses and other current assets and $549 current assets held from discontinued
operations, .
As
of
March 31, 2008, the Company had $20,472,457 in current liabilities primarily
consisting of $602,232, in the current portion of accrued acquisition
obligations, $6,544,935 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $831,034
in
liabilities held by discontinued operations, $5,345,913 in the current portion
of convertible debentures, net of discount, and $6,548,438 of derivative
liabilities resulting from the Securities Purchase Agreement and Secured
Convertible Debenture entered into on December 13, 2005, July 28, 2006 and
July
3, 2007. The derivative liability is being converted to equity upon conversion
to the Company’s common stock. The balance is adjusted based on market
adjustments to fair value on a quarterly basis.
As
a
result, the Company as of March 31, 2008 has a working capital deficiency of
$18,364,349 which includes $6,548,438 of derivative liability that is not
expected to have a cash impact.
Cash
flow
generated from operating activities and proceeds from capital raises are the
Company’s primary contributors in reducing the working capital deficiency and
fund future operations.
The
decrease in cash for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 of $261,807 was primarily
attributable to the net increase of $354,637 in cash provided by operating
activities, offset by expenditures of cash used to acquire businesses of
$180,000 and the repayment of $466,667 of debt, the use of cash for capital
expenditures of $1,580, and the use of deferred connection charges $39,220.
Based
on
our current operating plan, we anticipate using our cash mainly to continue
growing the customer base and expand our technology solutions. The main portion
of the cash need is for sales activities, operating expenses, cost of sales
and
a smaller portion for infrastructure improvements.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities
in
the normal course of business. We have experienced recurring operating losses
since our inception and our accumulated net deficit is in excess of
$16 million. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts
or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should
we be
unable to continue as a going concern. The disposition on January 15
th
2008 of
our wireless assets will help us improve cash flows for 2008. Our telecom
operation has historically delivered a stable performance with an increase
in
sales, number of customers and cash flow since our acquisition of this business
in July 2005. While we believe this performance to continue we cannot precisely
predict future performance. We believe that available cash resources, together
with anticipated revenues from operations could not be sufficient to satisfy
our
business plan and capital requirements through December 31, 2008.
Additional capital may not be available on a timely basis or on acceptable
terms, if at all. If we are unable to maintain or obtain sufficient capital,
we
may be forced to reduce operating expenses, sell business assets or take other
actions which could be detrimental to our business operations.
Significant
Estimates
Critical
accounting polices include the areas where we have made what we consider to
be
particularly subjective or complex judgments in making estimates and where
these
estimates can significantly impact our financial results under different
assumptions and conditions.
We
prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required
to
make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable
based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the
periods presented. Actual results could be different than those estimates.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation requires recognition and
measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not”
approach. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,
2006. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007 and this new standard
did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This
standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair
value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is
encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115”, (“FAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates.
A
business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items
for
which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value
measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The adoption of FAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS
141 (R)”), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAF 141(R) requires assets and liabilities
acquired in a business combination, contingent consideration, and certain
acquired contingencies to be measured at their fair values as of the date of
acquisition. SFAS 141 (R) also requires that acquisition-related costs and
restructuring costs be recognized separately from the business combination.
SFAS
141 (R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and
will
be effective for business combinations entered into after January 1,
2009.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”).
SFAS 160 clarifies the accounting for non-controlling interests and establishes
accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary, including classification as a component of equity. SFAS 160 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company does
not currently have any minority interests.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely
to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Market
Risks
The
Company operates in the United States and Canada, each of which has its own

Disclosure
Control and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed
to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or
submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act,” is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act
is
accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure.
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls
and procedures as of March 31, 2008 and concluded that the disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective, because certain deficiencies involving
internal controls constituted a material weakness as discussed in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting that we identified in our Annual Report on
Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 relates to the monitoring and review
of work performed by our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller in
the
preparation of audit and financial statements, footnotes and financial data
provided to the Company’s registered public accounting firm in connection with
the annual audit. All of our financial reporting is carried out by our Chief
Financial Officer and Corporate Controller, and this lack of accounting staff
results in a lack of segregation of duties and accounting technical expertise
necessary for an effective system of internal control.
In
order
to mitigate this material weakness to the fullest extent possible, all financial
reports are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer as well as the audit
committee for reasonableness and all unexpected results are investigated. At
any
time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to continue to mitigate
such weaknesses, it is immediately implemented. As soon as our finances allow,
we will hire sufficient accounting staff and implement appropriate procedures
for monitoring and review of work performed by our Chief Financial Officer
and
Corporate Controller.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Legal
Proceedings

The
following proceedings have been instigated against the Company. The Company
does
not believe that the following legal proceedings have a materially adverse
impact on the Company’s business or on its results of its
operations.
Proposed
Tax Assessment
:
3577996
Canada, Inc. which the Company had acquired substantially all of their assets,
is involved in proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec (“MRQ”). The
MRQ has proposed an assessment for the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and Quebec
Sales Tax (“QST”) of approximately $642,000 (CND $) and penalties of
approximately $110,000 (CND $). The proposed tax assessment including penalties
is for $322,000 (CND $) for QST and $320,000 (CND $) for GST. In mid to late
2006, the MRQ issued Amended Reassessments after the Company contested.
These amounts were reduced (including penalties) to approximately QST $350,000
(CND $) and GST $308,000 (CND $). The Company again contested these
Amended Reassessments and believes that certain deductions initially disallowed
by the MRQ for the QST are deductible and is in the process of compiling the
deductions to the MRQ.
Wrongful
Dismissal
:
A
former employee of a subsidiary of the Company, has instigated a claim in Quebec
Superior Court in the amount of $90,000 (CND $) against the Company for wrongful
dismissal. The Company does not believe the claim to be founded and intends
to
vigorously contest such claim. The parties are in the discovery
stages.
Consulting
Fee
:
On
April 13, 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court,
District of New Jersey (Newark) (Case No. 05-2058) by Howard Salamon d/b/a
“Salamon Brothers” (as the plaintiff) against the Company. This matter arises
out of an alleged agreement between the plaintiff and the Company. The plaintiff
is seeking specific performance of the alleged agreement, monetary damages
and a
declaratory judgment for the payment of a commission allegedly due to the
plaintiff in an amount equal to 10% of all funds received by the Company from
YA. The Company has filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff seeking
rescission of the alleged agreement and a refund of $100,000 paid by the Company
to the plaintiff. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit,
that
the plaintiff’s claims are unfounded and that the Company has good defenses
against the claims asserted by the plaintiff. The Company also believes that
it
has good claims for the rescission of the agreement and for the refund of the
amount paid to the plaintiff. The Company intends to contest and defend against
the plaintiff’s claims. The foregoing notwithstanding, total liability to the
Company, should it lose the lawsuit, could reach a maximum of 10% of all funds
received by YA.
