Description of Business," and "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis", constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, the "Reform Act").

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Teleplus Enterprises, Inc. ("TelePlus", "the Company", "we", "us" or "our") to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. References in this form 10-KSB, unless another date is stated, are to December 31, 2004. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TelePlus Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") was originally incorporated in Nevada as Terlingua Industries, Ltd. on April 16, 1999. The Company's business plan was to engage in online marketing and distribution of organic herbal supplements in an international market. On January 27, 2000, the Company changed its name to HerbalOrganics.com, Inc. ("HerbalOrganics"). Prior to the acquisition, discussed below, the Company had not generated any revenues from operations and was considered a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7, whose operations principally involved research and development, market analysis, securing and establishing a new business, and other business planning activities. In September 2003, the Company formed a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Teleplus Retail Services, Inc. ("Retail"), a Canadian corporation formed under the laws of the province of Quebec. In October 2003, Retail acquired a significant amount of assets from, and assumed certain liabilities of, 3577996 Canada, Inc., a Canadian Business Corporation ("3577996") relating to 3577996's "TelePlus Consumer Services" business. Also in October 2003, Visioneer Holdings Group Inc. acquired control of the Company. 3577996 and Visioneer Holdings Group Inc. ("Visioneer") are controlled by the same shareholders. Marius Silvasan, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and sole Director, controls Visioneer and 3577996. Mr. Silvasan indirectly controls the Company through Visioneer. For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as an acquisition of HerbalOrganics and a recapitalization of 3577996 with accounting treatment similar to that used in a reverse acquisition. 3577996 emerged as the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. The operations of HerbalOrganics are not carried over and were adjusted to $0. HerbalOrganics (which changed its name to TelePlus Enterprises, Inc.), however, remained as the legal reporting entity. Prior to the acquisition, 3577996 had operated the TelePlus Consumer Services business since 1999. As a result of the acquisition by Retail of the TelePlus Consumer Services business from 3577996 and a change in business focus, HerbalOrganics.com, Inc. changed its name to TelePlus Enterprises, Inc. Hereinafter, a reference to the Company or TelePlus includes a reference to the TelePlus Consumer Services business and vice-versa unless otherwise provided. In March 2003, the Company declared a 10:1 forward stock split. In October 2003, the Company declared a 2.375:1 forward stock split. The effects of the stock splits have been retroactively reflected in this report on Form 10-KSB unless otherwise stated. BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER The Company is a vertically integrated provider of wireless and landline products and services across North America. The Company's retail division - TelePlus Retail Services, Inc. - owns and operates a national chain of TelePlus branded stores in major shopping malls, selling a comprehensive line of wireless and portable communication devices. TelePlus Wireless, Corp. operates a virtual wireless network selling cellular network access to distributors in the United States. TelePlus Connect, Corp. is a reseller of landline and long distance services including internet services. Currently there is a good fit between the Company's resources and the opportunities and threats posed by its external environment. The Company has a diversified product mix that is complemented with unique accessory offerings. The Company has prominently displayed, attractive, strategically located retail outlets, experienced employees and management and strong supplier relations. The Company believes that growth will to come in three folds. GROWTH IN CANADA: The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary TelePlus Retail Services, Inc. currently operates 39 TelePlus branded stores in three Canadian provinces. The Company intends to increase to 70 the number of TelePlus branded stores by 2007. These stores are expected to be located in major metro centers. The Company completed in 2004 acquisition of two companies: SMARTCELL and CELLZ. The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary TelePlus Connect, Corp. is planning to offer landline and long distance prepaid services to selected individuals in Canada who cannot obtain basic telecom services from traditional telecom carriers. These individuals are often called the unbanked. Current estimates place the unbanked market in North America at 9.5% of total households and the market size is estimated at over $1 billion. To facilitate the rollout of this service the Company has negotiated and expects to soon sign definitive agreements to acquire 100% of the shares of Keda Consulting Corp. and Freedom Phones Lines. The Company also acquired Telizon on January 26th 2005. o Keda Consulting Corp. provides a broad range of management consulting services to the North American telecommunications industry, specializing in business development, sales/marketing, and operations. Once the acquisition of Keda is completed, it will change its name to TelePlus Connect Corp. and Keda's management will take over the operations of TelePlus' prepaid landline and long distance telephone service operations. The Company is expected to benefit from Keda's and Freedom's management teams which have much experience in the telecommunications industry. The Company believes a seasoned and experienced management team, familiar with all aspects of the rapidly growing and changing telecommunications business, is a key strategic asset. o Freedom Phone Lines, headquartered in Ontario, Canada, is a Bell Canada reseller of landline and long distance services, which services over 3,300 customers in the Ontario area and generates yearly revenues of $2.5 million and EBITDA of $0.300 million. o In January 2005, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Telizon, Inc., subject to the Company receiving financing for the deal. The terms of the acquisition call for the Company to pay $7.2 million in cash no later than 150 days from January 26, 2005. Telizon is a reseller of landline/long distance services and also an Internet service provider. Telizon has annual revenues of $12.0 million and EBITDA of $1.6 million. Management anticipates that the deal, if successfully completed, will accelerate the Company's business plan by 18 months, resulting in a revenue run rate of $30 million and EBITDA of over $1 million, as well as synergies with other Teleplus operations GROWTH IN THE UNITED STATES: TelePlus intends to deploy a private label wireless program under the "TelePlus" brand name in the US. TelePlus Wireless Corp. ("TelePlus Wireless"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TelePlus Enterprises, Inc. initiated deployment of the Company's MVNO during the month of October. Offering private label wireless services is commonly referred to as creating a Mobile Virtual Network Operator ("MVNO"). This market was developed first in Europe, where more than 20 MVNO's can be found. Virgin Mobile of England and Wireless Maingate of Sweden were among the first group of MVNO's launched in Europe. TelePlus intends to make its phone available at superstores and vending machines throughout the US. To facilitate the development and rollout of Teleplus' MVNO service, the Company announced: o In November 2004, an agreement with Consumer Cellular for the use of the AT&T Wireless network, now part of Cingular network, which called for the network to be the carrier of choice to run TelePlus' mobile virtual network; and o In January 2005, a distribution agreement with Mr. Prepaid. The agreement covers the distribution of Teleplus Wireless services across the Mr. Prepaid Network. Mr. Prepaid, based in the United States, supplies a variety of wireless phones, related accessories and wireless and long distance vouchers to over 700 retail points of distribution located on the East Coast of the United States. Additionally, it recently launched its own Mobile Virtual Network program under the UR MOBILE brand name. TelePlus has shown strong revenue growth from $1.4 million in 2000 to $12.2 million as of December 31, 2004. TelePlus delivers high consumer confidence and exceptional customer service, which is evidenced by winning 4 consecutive times the Canadian "Consumer's Choice Award" for best wireless retail business - 2002, 2003, 2004 & 2005. PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TelePlus is a leading provider of wireless and portable communication devices in Canada. TelePlus' products include wireless handsets and services from major Canadian carriers, international phones, satellites, home phones and other mobile electronic devices including an exclusive line of international GSM world phones. Sales of these products accounted for over 75% of the Company's total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Over the last few years, TelePlus has successfully negotiated distribution agreements with the major Canadian wireless providers as well as with a variety of communication vendors. Today, those agreements allow TelePlus to promote the following products and services, among others: PRODUCT/SERVICE PROVIDER/VENDOR * Wireless Products/Services Fido Solutions, Telus Mobility, Bell Mobility, Virgin Mobile * Home Phones V-Tech, Sanyo, Siemens, Uniden * Pagers and 2-way Pagers PageNet, Unipage, * Satellite Dish systems StarChoice TelePlus' range of products offering has continuously increased since inception. TelePlus continuously re-evaluates its product offering to include items that have both solid retail potential and the ability to further boost demand for our existing product lines. TelePlus expects to continue developing its product offering over the next few years to become the premier choice of consumers seeking the purchase of wireless and portable communication devices. TelePlus is the largest small store multi-brand wireless retailer in the province of Quebec. The Company had $ 12,180,501 in sales revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The Company's wireless partners have identified the Company as a top wireless retailer due to high sales performance and excellent customer service. The Company markets its products and services to virtually every market segment. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, TelePlus embarked on an aggressive five-year expansion plan, discussed in more detail below under "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis." The Canadian wireless market consists of business clients and consumer users. The market for business clients can be further subdivided into operational users and professional users. Operational users include primarily firms which view wireless services and devices as a tool to increase productivity and reduce costs. Professional users primarily include users using wireless services and devices to facilitate communication and increase their availability to swiftly deal with customer and supplier demands. The consumer users market can be subdivided into families and youths. Each market segment gives particular importance to the different wireless market attributes. Business clients are more focused on awareness, networks, devices and standards whereas consumer users focus on awareness and price. Operational users place more importance on standards and software than do professional users or consumer users. The Company selects retail outlets based on each Canadian wireless carrier's targeted market strategy and the importance that each market segment gives to the market attributes. Based on this information, the Company locates its retail outlets in malls in major metropolitan areas that have shown a consistent demographic increase over the last few years with similar or improving trends over the foreseeable future, the population of which predominately consists of young families or single professionals earning average to higher than average incomes. DISTRIBUTION TelePlus has earned a reputation for revolutionizing the wireless marketplace in Canada. To differentiate its product offering from that of its competitors, TelePlus operates 39 TelePlus branded stores under the "one-stop wireless shop" concept. The Company has warehouses in Montreal and Toronto from which it distributes its products to the retail locations. The Company uses a sophisticated point-of-sale ("POS") system to manage its inventory requirements and efficiently distribute inventory to the retail locations. Teleplus provides its customers with a wide range of choices for wireless products and services from different service providers and manufacturers. TelePlus is not locked into an agreement with any one wireless service provider; therefore, the Company maintains the flexibility to provide its customers with more services than its competition. In addition, TelePlus' flexibility and speed, supported by its professional sales consultants, provides its customers with extensive technical support in both product knowledge and service programs. This "one-stop wireless shop" concept differs from the conventional wireless store business model employed by most of its competitors. The "one-stop wireless shop" concept delivers customers with an optimum wireless solution based on their particular needs and expectations. TelePlus does not set the retail prices that it charges for products sold to its customers. The Company's suppliers require the Company to sell the products at manufacturers' suggested retail prices. The strategy generally protects the Company's sales margins and limits price-based competition. However, during periods of intense competition among wireless carriers this strategy leads to price erosion particularly on handsets that are sold to first time buyers which tend to be very price conscientious as discussed in more detail under "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis." The Company's suppliers provide a full refund policy on most of their products which the Company extends to its customers. This refund policy minimizes the Company's losses of margin as a result of returned products. In addition, the Company benefits of protection mechanisms from its suppliers that protect the Company's margins against erosion. Any changes in the retail price of handsets, which is the largest selling product in dollar value, allows the Company to claim the reduction in profit through carrier credits. COMPETITIVE OVERVIEW WIRELESS SECTOR The wireless industry is a vast and fast growing industry of the Telecommunications Sector. As time passes, wireless phones are becoming more and more commonplace. According to EMC, a leading researcher and publisher of intelligence about wireless markets, there are now more than 1 billion wireless phone subscribers worldwide and 50% of all calls in the world will soon be wireless. IDC estimates that total sales of worldwide mobile phones increased 20% in 2004 to 658 million units. Some key trends that investors should be aware of and are important in evaluating the industry's potential growth include the following: o The costs of acquiring and maintaining a wireless plan has dropped over the years as a result of pricing pressures, promotional events by carriers, and increased customer churn (customer churn is defined as the number of clients who cancel their contract with the carrier prior to the end of the term); o The wireless telecommunications industry is experiencing (and will continue to experience) significant technological change, which has led wireless carriers to upgrade their wireless networks capabilities and rollout new product and service offerings, such as photos, music, and wireless Internet (Wi-FI); o Wireless phone manufactures, such as Samsung, LG, and Pantech, are now marketing next generation phones with advanced features; o The image of wireless devices has changed from a luxury gadget to a business and entertainment tool. Moreover, the Yankee Group has stated that Americans are now looking at wireless service as a utility rather than a novelty; o Wireless number portability, which recently took effect, provides customers with more flexibility when choosing a carrier and increases the rate of new activations; and o According to J.D. Power, consumers are increasingly more satisfied with their wireless service, call quality, and cost. CANADIAN WIRELESS INDUSTRY According to industry data, by the end of 2005, more than half of all Canadians will be mobile phone customers. Canadians currently use more than 12 million wireless phones on a daily basis. According to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the wireless industry is a key driver of the Canadian Telecommunications sector, consistently posting double digit sales gains; recently increasing 13% to over $8 billion. The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association estimates that in 2004 there were over 13.6 million wireless subscribers, including 10.4 million postpaid and 3.2 million prepaid. In Canada, consolidation amongst wireless carriers has been a trend. Recently, Rogers Wireless announced deals with AT&T Wireless and Microcell that has positioned it as the largest carrier of wireless services in Canada, with about 37% market share or 5.298 million subscribers. Other major carriers, in market share order, include Bell Mobility, a unit of BCE (NYSE: BCE), with a 33% market share and TELUS Mobility with a 26% market share. AMERICAN WIRELESS INDUSTRY The vastness and fast growing nature of the American wireless industry is illustrated by the following statistics: In a January 2005 Business Week article, Gartner estimated that 2005 wireless revenues will grow 11% to $122.5 billion; o Euromonitor, in a July 2003 report, estimated that in 2003 the retail post-paid wireless industry totaled $3.8 billion, and is expected to reach $5.1 billion by 2007. Atlantic-ACM estimated in February 2003, that the pre-paid retail wireless industry will grow from $4.4 billion in 2003 to $9.5 billion in 2007; o According to J.D. Power, 59% of the U.S. households have a wireless phone connection. Industry analysts project that penetration rates will reach 60% to 70% by 2005; o The Yankee Group stated in an August 2004 report that 50% of 13 to 17 year olds have a wireless phone, a sizable increase from a 2003 survey in which 33% of teens were reported to have a wireless phone. Increased penetration of this segment of the population has been driven by an increase in marketing of family plans; o The Yankee Group also projected that by the end of 2006, there will be over 200 million wireless phone subscribers; o The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) stated in a September 2004 report that 97% of the total domestic population live in an area in which at least three carriers offer wireless services; o The FCC also found that at the end of 2003 there were 160.6 million wireless subscribers, a 13.3% increase from the end of 2002. These subscribers used their service, on average, 500 minutes per month. Minute usage increased by 17.1% over the prior year driven by an increase in text messaging and more advanced headsets that were utilized for advanced and novel leisure and entertainment purposes; and o According to First Global Research, the domestic wireless market is adding 4 to 5 million net new subscribers each quarter. The major wireless carriers in the United States in order of subscribers are Cingular (a joint venture of BellSouth Corp. and SBC Communications Inc.), Verizon Wireless (a unit of Verizon), SprintPCS, TMobile (a unit of Deutsche Telekom), and Nextel. According to Bear Stearns and Baird, these operators at last count had over 138 million subscribers and last twelve months revenues of over $80 billion. The five major carriers have over 80% market share of the total wireless market in the United States of 172 million at the end of the third quarter of 2004. Consolidation amongst carriers in the United States has also been an ongoing trend. In late 2004, Cingular finalized its combination with AT&T Wireless. More recently, Sprint and Nextel have stated their intention to combine. Consolidation is also apparent in the second tier as Western Wireless (NASDAQ: WWCA), a regional wireless carrier, is in the midst of being acquired by Alltel (NYSE: AT), the sixth largest wireless carrier. According to the AP, the FON/NXTL deal would fortify Sprint's position as the nation's third largest wireless service provider behind Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless and have 35 million wireless subscribers and $40 billion in annual revenue. The Alltel and Western Wireless deal would create a $10 billion Company with 9.8 million subscribers or about 6% of the wireless market in the United States. According to Bloomberg, industry consolidation is occurring due to a more competitive business environment. Carriers are suffering from lower average price per minute and a lower rate of new subscribers being added to the overall subscriber base. RETAIL WIRELESS INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The Company's primary business is wireless retail operations in Canada. The Canadian and Worldwide retail wireless industry (post-paid and pre-paid) is a huge and fast growing industry in the Retail Technology Sector. (FYI: post-paid customers subscribe to a monthly service plan usually under a one or two year contract, while pre-paid customers typically do not sign a contractual agreement with a cellular carrier. Consumers typically buy airtime in $20 to $100 denominations at a higher per minute rate than most postpaid plans). The retail wireless industry is highly competitive and fragmented, with no dominant player. The Company's retail operations primarily compete with a variety of small distributors and specialized retailers, such as Cabine Telephonique and Wireless Wave, that focus on a particular segment of the market, as well as a few single large distributors/retailers in Canada that offer a broad range of products, including FutureShop, Office Depot (NYSE: ODP), and Best Buy (NYSE: BBY). Competition may also come from the Company's own suppliers/distributors/carriers who sell directly to commercial and retail customers. Additionally, a number of companies (well known and obscure) have established e-commerce operations targeted at the wireless consumer. Competition in the industry is based on product quality, competitive pricing, delivery efficiency, customer service and satisfaction levels, maintenance of satisfactory dealer relationships, and the ability to anticipate changes in technology and customer preferences. Publicly traded companies in the United States that have retail wireless operations include: Circuit City (NYSE: CC), BestBuy, FTS Group (OTC BB: FLIP), Office Depot (NYSE: ODP), and RadioShack (NYSE: RSH). MVNO MARKET OVERVIEW Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), which buy mobile services from established wireless operators and resell the service under their own brand names, were first developed in Europe, where there are currently over 20 MVNO's, including Virgin Mobile and Wireless Maingate. These two companies are believed to be two of the early pioneers in this space. Others companies that have or are developing MVNO offerings in North America include AT&T (NYSE: T), Boost, ESPN, Tracfone, Qwest (NYSE: Q), and Vonage. In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, the author mentioned that industry watchers believe Virgin Mobile USA, an MVNO with over 2 million subscribers that resells access to the Sprint network, is set to go public in the near future. If this should occur, it would represent the only pure publicly traded MVNO Company in the United States. Already, Virgin Mobile UK, an MVNO with over 4 million subscribers in the UK that resells access to the T-Mobile network, is publicly traded in Europe. The primary advantage of operating as an MVNO is that such an operation requires much less capital and overhead than the operations of a traditional wireless carrier. An MVNO simply utilizes existing networks from established carriers. However, substantial amounts of monies may be needed to build brand recognition and pay for access to a carrier's network. A secondary advantage to retail oriented companies, such TLPE, is that an MVNO offering may provide opportunity to expand its overall margins as it picks up incremental revenues at higher margins. DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW CUSTOMERS As of December 31, 2004, amounts due from two customers amounted to 99% of total trade accounts receivable. One customer accounted for 28% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TelePlus filed an application to obtain "SimplySellular" as a trademark which it was granted January 7th 2005. NEED FOR GOVERNMENT APPROVAL TelePlus does not need any government approval. EMPLOYEES TelePlus has a total of 175 employees, 140 of which are employed on a full-time basis. RECENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS On July 12, 2004, Teleplus secured $11,000,000 in financing from Cornell Capital Partners LP. The terms of the transaction call for TelePlus to receive initial funding in the amount of $1,000,000 payable in three (3) installments: $450,000 payable on closing, $400,000 payable upon filing of a registration statement and the balance of $150,000 payable upon the registration statement becoming effective. As part of the transaction the Company also secured $10,000,000 under a Standby Equity Agreement. Teleplus can draw the funds under the Standby Equity Agreement over a 24 month period based on Teleplus' funding requirements subject to an effective registration with the SEC which became effective Oct 1st 2004. The proceeds will be used to finance existing and future acquisitions, capital expenditures, increases in inventory and for general working purposes. As at October 10, 2004 Teleplus has received the initial $1,000,000 pertaining to this agreement. Teleplus has set up a convertible debenture on its balance sheet to account for this Transaction. Agreements pertaining to the financing arrangement were filed. In connection with the Standby Equity Agreement Teleplus issued 258,098 shares of common stock as financing costs. As at December 31, 2004 Teleplus has received an additional $ 1,750,000 from Cornell Capital Partners LP. These funds were drawn against the $10,000,000 Standby Equity Agreement that was secured on July 16, 2004. In October 2004, the Company signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire all of the assets, except the phone card business assets, of US based Mr. Prepaid. The terms of the transaction call for TelePlus to pay a combination of cash and stock compensation valued at up to approximately USD$3 million to the principals of Mr. Prepaid. January 18, 2005 after conducting a thorough due diligence review of Mr. Prepaid, the Company and its strategic advisors have decided that the prudent decision is not to proceed with the acquisition. Rather, It was decided that a network wide distribution agreement would be more beneficial to the Company at this time, the details of which are as follows: o Shareholder Dilution - TelePlus and its strategic advisors determined that a network wide distribution agreement would reap substantially the same benefit to the Company without creating any dilution for shareholders o Focus On Core Competency - Our due diligence process indicated that an acquisition of Mr. Prepaid would require significant attention and resources towards initiatives that did not involve our core competency and would divert management from its plan to establish TelePlus as a significant participant within our industry. o Highest and Best Use of Company Resources - It was determined that use of TelePlus cash and human resources would generate a far greater return on investment if aimed towards developing a national distribution network, as opposed to the narrower geographical reach of Mr. Prepaid. o Capitalizing on Focused Opportunities - TelePlus has and will have the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities that are focused on our core industry strengths. As such, it was determined that capitalizing on such opportunities would yield greater returns on investment and equity than any acquisition of Mr. Prepaid could. In November 2004, the Company hired Kelly McLaren as its new COO and President. In December 2004, the Company announced it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Freedom Phones Lines. Freedom Phone Lines, headquartered in Ontario, Canada, is a Bell Canada reseller of landline and long distance services, which serves over 3,300 customers in the Ontario area and generates yearly revenues of $2.5 million and EBITDA of $0.300 million. The terms of the acquisition call for the Company to pay $0.480 million in cash upon closing and issue $0.480 million worth of shares also upon closing to the shareholders of Freedom. In December 2004, the Company announced it had signed a definitive agreements to acquire 100% of the shares of Keda Consulting Corp. Keda Consulting Corp. provides a broad range of management consulting services to the North American telecommunications industry, specializing in business development, sales/marketing, and operations. Once the acquisition of Keda is completed, it will change its name to TelePlus Connect Corp. and Keda's management will take over the operations of TelePlus' prepaid landline and long distance telephone service operations. The Company is expected to benefit from Keda's and Freedom's management teams which have much experience in the telecommunications industry. The Company believes a seasoned and experienced management team, familiar with all aspects of the rapidly growing and changing telecommunications business, is a key strategic asset. The terms of the transaction call for TelePlus to pay the shareholders of Keda on an earn-out basis up to $16 million based on the achievement by TelePlus Connect of specific EBITDA benchmarks during the next 48 months. In January 2005, the Company announced it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Telizon, Inc., subject to The Company receiving financing for the deal. The terms of the acquisition call for the Company to pay $7.2 million in cash no later than 150 days from January 26, 2005. Telizon is a reseller of landline/long distance services and also an Internet service provider. Telizon has annual revenues of $12.0 million and EBITDA of $1.6 million. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY TelePlus currently has in place 39 leases for various properties, consisting of 38 retail store leases and 1 lease for its principal office in Montreal Canada. The retail stores are located in provinces of Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. The retail stores vary in size from 300 to 700 square feet. The Company's principal office is located in approximately 5,500 square feet of leased office. The aggregate monthly rental commitment for the retail stores is USD$105,999. The monthly rental commitment for the principal office is USD$5,834. The term of the leases vary between 2 to 5 years. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The following proceedings have been instigated against the Company. The Company does not believe that the following legal proceedings would have a materially adverse impact on the Company's business or its results of operations, nevertheless such proceedings are disclosed. Goods and Services. TelePlus is currently defending an action instigated against it by one of its suppliers. Such supplier claims that the Company defaulted on the payment of goods sold by supplier to the Company. The Company claims that it failed to pay the goods sold by supplier because such goods were purchased contingent on supplier making available to the Company wireless network access which supplier failed to provide. The Company is unable to sell these goods at retail and has attempted, without success, to return the goods to the supplier. The supplier has refused to take the goods back. Total liability to the Company, if it losses the claim, may reach a maximum of $20,000. Proposed Tax Assessment. Teleplus is involved in proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec ("MRQ"). The MRQ has proposed an assessment of for the Goods and Services Tax ("GST") and Quebec Sales Tax ("QST") of approximately CDN$474,000 and penalties of approximately CDN$168,000. The proposed tax assessment is for CDN$322,000 for QST and CDN$320,000 for GST. Teleplus 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. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Wrongful Dismissal: A former employee of TelePlus retail Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has instigated a claim in Quebec Superior Court in the amount of $90,000 against the Company for wrongful dismissal. The Company doesn't believe the claim to be founded and intends to vigorously contest such claim. The parties are at discovery stages. The Company has instigated the following claim against Wal-Mart Canada, corp.: Wal-Mart Canada, Corp. The Company's subsidiary, TelePlus Management, has instigated September 23rd, 2004 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice a USD$2.3 million claim against Wal-Mart Canada Corp. for breach of agreement. Parties are at discovery stages. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS "Bid" and "asked" offers for the common stock are listed on the NASDAQ OTC-Bulletin Board published by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. The Company's common stock began trading in the first quarter of 2003, under the trading symbol, "HBOG". The symbol was changed to "TLPE" in connection with the Company's name change on October 10, 2003. The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for the Company's common stock for the periods indicated as reported by the NASDAQ OTC-Bulletin Board. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions. Bid Prices Quarter Ended High Low - ------------- -------- -------- December 31, 2004 $ 0.42 $ 0.37 September 30, 2004 $ 0.47 $ 0.42 June 30, 2004 $ 0.74 $ 0.65 March 31, 2004 $ 2.57 $ 2.47 There were 78 holders of record of the common stock as of March 28, 2005. The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its common stock and does not anticipate the payment of a cash dividend in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to reinvest in its business operations any funds that could be used to pay a cash dividend. The Company's common stock is considered a "penny stock" as defined in certain rules (the "Rules") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In general, a security which is not quoted on NASDAQ or has a market price of less than $5 per share where the issuer does not have in excess of $2,000,000 in net tangible assets (none of which conditions the Company meets) is considered a penny stock. The SEC's rules regarding penny stocks impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally persons with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse). For transactions covered by the rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Thus the Rules affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's shares should they wish to do so because of the adverse effect that the Rules have upon liquidity of penny stocks. Unless the transaction is exempt under the Rules, under the Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, broker-dealers effecting customer transactions in penny stocks are required to provide their customers with (i) a risk disclosure document; (ii) disclosure of current bid and ask quotations if any; (iii) disclosure of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its sales personnel in the transaction; and (iv) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. As a result of the penny stock rules the market liquidity for the Company's securities may be severely adversely effected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and the ability of purchasers of the securities to resell them.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21e of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results, including those set forth under "Factors that may affect future results" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this report. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with "Selected Financial Data" and the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. OVERVIEW The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada as Terlingua Industries, Ltd. on April 16, 1999. The Company's business plan was to engage in online marketing and distribution of organic herbal supplements in an international market. On January 27, 2000, the Company changed its name to HerbalOrganics.com, Inc. ("HerbalOrganics"). Prior to the transactions discussed below, the Company had not generated any revenues from operations and was considered a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7, whose operations principally involved research and development, market analysis, securing and establishing a new business, and other business planning activities. On October 10, 2003, Visioneer Holdings Group Inc. ("Visioneer") subscribed to purchase 18,050,000 restricted, newly issued shares of the Company's common stock, $.001 par value per share. Also on that same date, Visioneer purchased 23,750,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock from Thomas Whalen, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer. As a result of the subscriptions and the purchase, control of the Company shifted to Marius Silvasan, the beneficial owner of Visoneer. In September 2003, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Teleplus Retail Services, Inc., a Quebec, Canada Corporation ("Teleplus Retail"). In October 2003, Teleplus Retail purchased substantially all of the assets of 3577996 Canada Inc., a Canada Business Corporation ("3577996"), that related to 3577996's "TelePlus Consumer Services" business. The Company is a vertically integrated provider of wireless and landline products and services across North America.

MARKETING STRATEGY Currently there is a good fit between the Company's resources and the opportunities and threats posed by its external environment. The Company has a diversified product mix that is complemented with unique accessory offerings. The Company has prominently displayed, attractive, strategically located retail outlets, experienced employees and management and strong supplier relations. The Company believes that growth will to come in three folds. GROWTH IN CANADA: The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary TelePlus Retail Services, Inc. currently operates 39 TelePlus branded stores in three Canadian provinces. The Company intends to increase to 70 the number of TelePlus branded stores by 2007. These stores are expected to be located in major metro centers. The Company completed in 2004 acquisition of two companies: SMARTCELL and CELLZ. The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary TelePlus Connect, Corp. is planning to offer landline and long distance prepaid services to selected individuals in Canada who cannot obtain basic telecom services from traditional telecom carriers. These individuals are often called the unbanked. Current estimates place the unbanked market in North America at 9.5% of total households and the market size is estimated at over $1 billion. To facilitate the rollout of this service the Company has negotiated and expects to soon sign definitive agreements to acquire 100% of the shares of Keda Consulting Corp. and Freedom Phones Lines. The Company also acquired Telizon, Inc. on January 26th 2005. o Keda Consulting Corp. provides a broad range of management consulting services to the North American telecommunications industry, specializing in business development, sales/marketing, and operations. Once the acquisition of Keda is completed, it will change its name to TelePlus Connect Corp. and Keda's management will take over the operations of TelePlus' prepaid landline and long distance telephone service operations. The Company is expected to benefit from Keda's and Freedom's management teams which have much experience in the telecommunications industry. The Company believes a seasoned and experienced management team, familiar with all aspects of the rapidly growing and changing telecommunications business, is a key strategic asset. o Freedom Phone Lines, headquartered in Ontario, Canada, is a Bell Canada reseller of landline and long distance services, which services over 3,300 customers in the Ontario area and generates yearly revenues of $2.5 million and EBITDA of $0.300 million. o In January 2005, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Telizon, Inc., subject to the Company receiving financing for the deal.

Telizon is a reseller of landline/long distance services and also an Internet service provider. Telizon has annual revenues of $12.0 million and EBITDA of $1.6 million. Management anticipates that the deal, if successfully completed, will accelerate the Company's business plan by 18 months, resulting in a revenue run rate of $30 million and EBITDA of over $1 million, as well as synergies with other Teleplus operations GROWTH IN THE UNITED STATES: TelePlus intends to deploy a private label wireless program under the "TelePlus" brand name in the US. TelePlus Wireless Corp. ("TelePlus Wireless"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TelePlus Enterprises, Inc. initiated deployment of the Company's MVNO during the month of October. Offering private label wireless services is commonly referred to as creating a Mobile Virtual Network Operator ("MVNO"). This market was developed first in Europe, where more than 20 MVNO's can be found. Virgin Mobile of England and Wireless Maingate of Sweden were among the first group of MVNO's launched in Europe. TelePlus intends to make its phone available at superstores and vending machines throughout the US. To facilitate the development and rollout of Teleplus' MVNO service, the Company announced: o In November 2004, an agreement with Consumer Cellular for the use of the AT&T Wireless network, now part of Cingular network, which called for the network to be the carrier of choice to run TelePlus' mobile virtual network; and o In January 2005, a distribution agreement with Mr. Prepaid. The agreement covers the distribution of Teleplus Wireless services across the Mr. Prepaid Network. Mr. Prepaid, based in the United States, supplies a variety of wireless phones, related accessories and wireless and long distance vouchers to over 700 retail points of distribution located on the East Coast of the United States. Additionally, it recently launched its own Mobile Virtual Network program under the UR MOBILE brand name.

The increase in G&A was due to higher store operating costs associated with the increase in the number of stores, increase in head office costs to support the expansion of the Company through the end of 2004, and increased costs associated with acquisitions and costs incurred in obtaining additional financing. The Company increased its advertising expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 by $14,000 (or 52%) to $41,000 as compared to $27,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

Interest expense increased to $71,904 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 from $3,706 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 The increase was due mainly to the accrual of interest on the convertible debt and promissory note as part of the capital raised by the Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales ("gross profit margin") decreased to 28% for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from 34% for the quarter ended December 31, 2003. The decrease is due mainly to lower carrier incentives paid to the Company as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2003. General, Administrative ("G&A) expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased $1,117,761 (or 39%) as compared to $796,438 for the quarter ended December 31, 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of December 31, 2004, total current assets were $3,096,674 which consisted of $383,313 of cash, $1,257,865 of accounts receivable, $1,080,024 of inventories, and $375,472 of prepaid expenses.

The Company requires additional capital to support strategic acquisitions and its current expansion plans. The Company currently has in place a revolving credit facility with a third party. Such facility provides the Company access with up to $10M in financing based on the Company's needs and subject to certain conditions. Should the Company not be able to draw down on such credit facility as required this may require the Company to delay, curtail or scale back some or all of its expansion plans. Any additional financing may involve dilution to the Company's then-existing shareholders. COMMITMENTS FOR OPERATING LEASES: The Company has several operating leases, primarily for office space and storage under which the Company is required to pay operating costs such as maintenance and insurance. Rental expense for the operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $1,018,007 and $657,132, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, the minimum lease payment under these leases during 2005 was $830,287. RISK FACTORS Management Recognizes That We Must Raise Additional Financing To Fund Our Ongoing Operations And Implement Our Business Plan. The Company requires additional capital to support strategic acquisitions and its current expansion plans. The Company currently has in place a revolving credit facility with a third party. Such facility provides the Company access with up to $10M in financing based on the Company's needs and subject to certain conditions. Should the Company not be able to draw down on such credit facility as required this may require the Company to delay, curtail or scale back some or all of its expansion plans. Any additional financing may involve dilution to the Company's then-existing shareholders. We Are Currently Involved In Legal Proceedings With The Minister Of Revenue Of Quebec, Canada, The Outcome Of Which Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Financial Position. 3577996 Canada Inc. is involved in legal proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec. The Minister of Revenue of Quebec has proposed a tax assessment of approximately $474,000CDN and penalties of approximately $168,000CDN. The proposed tax assessment is for $322,000CDN for Quebec Sales Tax and $320,000CDN for Goods and Services Tax. 3577996 believes that certain deductions initially disallowed by the Minister of Revenue of Quebec for the Quebec Sales Tax are deductible and we are in the process of compiling the deductions for the Minister of Revenue of Quebec. It is possible that the outcome of these proceedings could have a material adverse affect on our cash flows or our results of operations, Our Inability To Secure Competitive Pricing Arrangements In A Market Dominated By Larger Retailers With Higher Financial Resources Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Operations. Profit margins in the wireless and communication industry are low. Our larger competitors, who have more resources, have the ability to reduce their prices significantly lower than current prices. This would further reduce our profit margins. Should such an event occur and management chose not to offer competitive prices, we could lose our market share. If we chose to compete, the reduction in profit margins could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. We Have Historically Lost Money And Losses May Continue In The Future, Which May Cause Us To Curtail Operations. Since 2003 we have not been profitable and have lost money on both a cash and non-cash basis. For the year ended December 31, 2004 we incurred a net loss of $1,073,970 and our accumulated deficit was $1,759,130. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $715,787 and our accumulated deficit at the end of December 31, 2003 was $685,160. Future losses are likely to occur, as we are dependent on spending money to pay for our operations. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity and cash flow problems. If our losses continue, our ability to operate may be severely impacted. We Are Subject To A Working Capital Deficit, Which Means That Our Current Assets On December 31, 2003 And 2004, Were Not Sufficient To Satisfy Our Current Liabilities And, Therefore, Our Ability To Continue Operations Is At Risk. We had a working capital deficit of $1,695,868 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $788,117 for the year ended December 31, 2003, which means that our current liabilities exceeded our current assets on December 31, 2004 by $1,695,868 and by $788,117 on December 31, 2003. Current assets are assets that are expected to be converted to cash within one year and, therefore, may be used to pay current liabilities as they become due. Our working capital deficit means that our current assets on December 31, 2004, and on December 31, 2003 were not sufficient to satisfy all of our current liabilities on those dates. If our ongoing operations do not begin to provide sufficient profitability to offset the working capital deficit, we may have to raise additional capital or debt to fund the deficit or curtail future operations. Our Obligations Under The Secured Convertible Debentures Are Secured By All of Our Assets. Our obligations under the secured convertible debentures, issued to Cornell Capital Partners are secured by all of our assets. As a result, if we default under the terms of the secured convertible debentures, Cornell Capital Partners could foreclose its security interest and liquidate all of our assets. This would cease operations. Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume And May Fluctuate Significantly, Which May Affect Our Shareholders' Ability To Sell Shares Of Our Common Stock. Prior to this filing, there has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market for our common stock will develop. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market from time to time in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our stock will be stable or appreciate over time. The factors may negatively impact shareholders' ability to sell shares of our common stock. Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be "Penny Stock," Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements. Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, AS AMENDED. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock: o With a price of less than $5.00 per share; o That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; o Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or o In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years. o Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. We Could Fail To Attract Or Retain Key Personnel, Which Could Be Detrimental To Our Operations. Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of key executives, including Marius Silvasan, our Chief Executive Officer, Robert Krebs, our Chief Financial Officer, Kelly McLaren, our Chief Operating Officer, Suzanne Pownall, our Director of Sales and Marketing, Jeanne Chan, our Vice President of Procurement and Operations The loss of the services of any of the foregoing persons could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to find their successor. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain key-man life insurance policies on any of the foregoing persons. We also have other key employees who manage our operations and if we were to lose their services, senior management would be required to expend time and energy to find and train their replacements. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources we may not be able to attract the sufficient number and quality of staff. We Are Subject to Price Volatility Due to Our Operations Materially Fluctuating. As a result of the evolving nature of the markets in which we compete, as well as the current nature of the public markets and our current financial condition, we believe that our operating results may fluctuate materially, as a result of which quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful. If in some future quarter, whether as a result of such a fluctuation or otherwise, our results of operations fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. You should not rely on our results of any interim period as an indication of our future performance. Additionally, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may cause our quarterly results to fluctuate include, among others: o our ability to retain existing clients and customers; o our ability to attract new clients and customers at a steady rate; o our ability to maintain client satisfaction; o the extent to which our products gain market acceptance; o the timing and size of client and customer purchases; o introductions of products and services by competitors; o price competition in the markets in which we compete; o our ability to attract, train, and retain skilled management, o the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure; and o general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the wireless and portable communication device industry. We May Not Be Able To Compete Effectively In Markets Where Our Competitors Have More Resources. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, longer relationships with clients, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and public relations resources than TelePlus. Based on total assets and annual revenues, we are significantly smaller than many of our competitors. Similarly, we compete against significantly larger and better-financed companies in our business. We may not successfully compete in any market in which we conduct business currently or in the future. The fact that we compete with established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories than us, enables them to engage in more substantial advertising and promotion and attract a greater number of customers and business than we currently attract. While this competition is already intense, if it increases, it could have an even greater adverse impact on our revenues and profitability. Our Limited Operating History In Our Industry Makes It Difficult To Forecast Our Future Results. As a result of our limited operating history, our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations. If We Do Not Successfully Establish Strong Brand Identity In The Markets We Are Currently Serving, We May Be Unable To Achieve Widespread Acceptance Of Our Products. We believe that establishing and strengthening our products is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our future products and to establishing key strategic relationships. The importance of brand recognition will increase as current and potential competitors enter the market with competing products. Our ability to promote and position our brand depends largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to provide high quality products and customer support. These activities are expensive and we may not generate a corresponding increase in customers or revenue to justify these costs. If we fail to establish and maintain our brand, or if our brand value is damaged or diluted, we may be unable to attract new customers and compete effectively. Future Acquisitions May Disrupt Our Business And Deplete Our Financial Resources. Any future acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition. We intend to consider investments in complementary companies, products and technologies. While we have no current agreements to do so, we anticipate buying businesses, products and/or technologies in the future in order to fully implement our business strategy. In the event of any future acquisitions, we may: o issue stock that would dilute our current stockholders' percentage ownership; o incur debt; o assume liabilities; o incur amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets; or o incur large and immediate write-offs. The use of debt or leverage to finance our future acquisitions should allow us to make acquisitions with an amount of cash in excess of what may be currently available to us. If we use debt to leverage up our assets, we may not be able to meet our debt obligations if our internal projections are incorrect or if there is a market downturn. This may result in a default and the loss in foreclosure proceedings of the acquired business or the possible bankruptcy of our business. Our operation of any acquired business will also involve numerous risks, including: o integration of the operations of the acquired business and its technologies or products; o unanticipated costs; o diversion of management's attention from our core business; o adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; o risks associated with entering markets in which we have limited prior experience; and o potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the purchased organizations. If We Are Unable To Respond To The Rapid Changes In Technology And Services Which Characterize Our Industry, Our Business And Financial Condition Could Be Negatively Affected. Our business is directly impacted by changes in the wireless communications industry. The wireless communication products and services industry is subject to rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. Changes in technology could affect the market for our products, accelerate the obsolescence of our inventory and necessitate changes to our product line. We believe that our future success will depend largely on our ability to anticipate or adapt to such changes, to offer on a timely basis, services and products that meet these evolving standards and demand of our customers, and our ability to manage and maximize our product inventory and minimize our inventory of older and obsolete products. We also believe that our future success will depend upon how successfully our wireless carrier service providers and product vendors are able to respond to the rapidly changing technologies and products. New wireless communications technology, including personal communication services and voice communication over the internet may reduce demand for the wireless communication devices and services we currently are able to offer through our wireless carrier service providers. We cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to respond successfully to these or other technological changes, or to new products and services offered by our current and future competitors, and cannot predict whether we will encounter delays or problems in these areas, which could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We Rely In Large Part On Wireless Telecommunications Carriers With Whom We Have Business Arrangements. Our Success Depends On Our Ability To Meet Our Obligations To Those Carriers And The Abilities Of Our Wireless Telecommunication Carriers And Vendors. We depend on a small number of wireless telecommunications carriers and product manufacturers to provide our retail customers with wireless services and communication devices. Currently, approximately 90% of our wireless products and services accounts are dependant upon arrangements with Telus Mobility and Microcell. Such agreements may be terminated upon thirty days prior to written notice. Failure to maintain continuous relationships with these and other wireless communications carriers and product manufacturers would materially and adversely affect our business, including possibly requiring us to significantly curtail or cease our operations. Additionally, wireless telecommunications carriers may sometimes experience equipment failures and service interruptions, which could, if frequent, adversely affect customer confidence, our business operations and our reputation. Limited Duration of Agreements in Place with Major Wireless Carriers. The Company's current sales volumes have enabled the Company to build strong relationships with a variety of wireless and communication partners thus, minimizing the risks associated with the non-renewal of any of the Company's agreements. No Product Exclusivity. The current market consolidation undertaken by the major wireless carriers limit the Company's risk associated with no product exclusivity as new retail players can't readily get access to the products and services offered by the Company. Price Erosion. The Company is faced with high price elasticity resulting in the erosion of its margin on certain products. Price wars oftentimes occur in the industry which have a negative impact on profit margins. Issuance of a large number of wireless licenses increasing the number of competitors. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivable, investment values, income taxes, the recapitalization and contingencies. We base our estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements: Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment (three to seven years). The majority of Teleplus' long-lived assets are located in Canada. Teleplus performs reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Revenue Recognition Teleplus' revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless, telephony products and accessories to end users. Teleplus recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Teleplus recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, Teleplus provides for the estimated cost of product warranties and reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Teleplus' suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by Teleplus and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to Teleplus by its customers. Teleplus does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier. Inventories Inventories consist of wireless and telephony products and related accessories and are stated at the lower of cost, determined by average cost method, or market. ITEM 7.

TELEPLUS ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Nature of business. The Company is a vertically integrated provider of wireless and landline products and services across North America. The Company's retail division - TelePlus Retail Services, Inc. - owns and operates a national chain of TelePlus branded stores in major shopping malls, selling a comprehensive line of wireless and portable communication devices. TelePlus Wireless, Corp. operates a virtual wireless network selling cellular network access to distributors in the United States. TelePlus Connect, Corp. is a reseller of landline and long distance services including internet services. Teleplus was incorporated in Nevada in January 1999. In October 2003, Visioneer Holdings Group, Inc. ("Visioneer"), subscribed to 18,050,000 and its partners to 4,512,500 newly issued shares of Herbalorganics.com, Inc. ("Herbalorganics") and on that same date Visioneer acquired 23,750,000 shares of Herbalorganics. As a result of the transactions, Visioneer acquired control of Herbalorganics. In connection with the transactions Herbalorganics changed its name to Teleplus Enterprises, Inc. ("Teleplus"). After the above transactions, there were 65,312,500 shares of common stock outstanding. Herbalorganics retained 19,000,000 shares of common stock. In October 2003, Teleplus formed a wholly owned subsidiary Teleplus Retail Services, Inc. ("Retail"), a Quebec, Canada Corporation. Retail acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities from 3577996 Canada, Inc. 3577996 Canada, Inc. is controlled by the shareholders of Visioneer. For accounting purposes, this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Herbalorganics and a recapitalization of 3577996 Canada, Inc. 3577996 Canada, Inc. is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the operations of Herbalorganics were not carried over and were adjusted to $0. In connection with the reverse merger, 3577996 Canada, Inc. acquired $11,327 in cash and assumed $700 in liabilities. As shown in the acCompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,695,868 because the promissory note of $1,550,000 and the accrued acquisition obligation of $359,000 have been classified as current liabilities. However as mentioned in Note 4 the accrued acquisition obligation will be settled by the issuance of common stock and the Company has a Standby Equity Agreement which is available to repay the promissory note and provide long term financing for the operations of the Company. (Note 10) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teleplus' wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant interCompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include highly liquid, temporary cash investments having original maturity dates of three months or less. Inventories Inventories consist of wireless and telephony products and related accessories and are stated at the lower of cost, determined by average cost method, or market. Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment (three to seven years). The majority of Teleplus' long-lived assets are located in Canada. Teleplus performs reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Acquisitions and Business Combinations The Company accounts for acquisitions and business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. The Company includes the results of operations of the acquired business from the acquisition date. Net assets of the companies acquired are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired are included in intangible assets in the acCompanying consolidated balance sheets. Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Assets The Company regularly reviews all of its long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company's overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. When management determines that an impairment review is necessary based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. Significant judgments is required in the development of projected cash flows for these purposes including assumptions regarding the appropriate level of aggregation of cash flows, their term and discount rate as well as the underlying forecasts of expected future revenue and expense. To the extent that events or circumstances cause assumptions to change, charges may be required which could be material. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS No 142,"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under prescribed conditions) for impairment in accordance with this statement. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for an amount equal to that excess. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Revenue Recognition Teleplus' revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless, telephony products and accessories to end users. Teleplus recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Teleplus recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, Teleplus provides for the estimated cost of product warranties and reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The Company receives co-operative advertising revenue from the telephone suppliers based on certain requirements to spend the available co-op advertising allotment. Any amount received under their program is deducted from advertising expense. Teleplus' suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by Teleplus and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to Teleplus by its customers. Teleplus does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier. Advertising Costs incurred in connection with advertising are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $41,000 and $27,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Income Taxes The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Teleplus records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. Foreign Currency Translation The Canadian dollar is the functional currency of Teleplus. Transactions in foreign currency are translated at rates of exchange rates ruling at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income within stockholders' equity. Basic and Diluted Net Income (loss) per Share Net income (loss) per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share includes the potentially diluted effect of outstanding common stock options and warrants which are convertible to common shares. Diluted net loss per share has not been provided as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments and the variable nature of any underlying interest rates. The rates of fixed obligations approximate the rates of the variable obligations. Therefore, the fair value of these loans has been estimated to be approximately equal to their carrying value. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject Teleplus to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable. Teleplus maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions as determined by Teleplus' 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 Teleplus maintains a broad customer base. Deferred Financing Fees During 2004 the Company issued 258,098 shares of common stock with a value of 193,573 and paid fees in the amount of $ 416,058 in connection with the issue of a convertible debt that runs for a period of 36 months and a promissory note that runs for 6 months. The deferred financing fees will be amortized over the terms of the respective debts. The Company incurred $ 57,471 in amortization expense for the year ended December 2004 (See Note 10). See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Boards ("FASB") issues Statements No. 123 (R), Share - Based Payments which will require compensation costs related to share based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. As permitted by the predecessor Statement No. 123, we do not recognize compensation expense with respect to stock options we have issued because the option price was no greater than the market price at the time the option was issued. Statement 123(R) will be effective for us in our fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2006. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact of Adopting Statements 123 (R). In November 2004, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") consensus on Issue 03 -13, "Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB STATEMENT NO 144, "Accounting for the impairment or Disposal of Long - Lived ASSETS," in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations, which is effective for us at the beginning of fiscal 2005. The adoption of the new pronouncements will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151 Inventory costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 , to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges , and that fixed production overheads should be allocated to inventory based on normal capacity of production facilities. Statement No. 151 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1,2006, and its adoption will not have a material impact on our financial position or Results of operations. In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" (the "Statement"). The Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Statement is generally effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this Statement had no effect on Teleplus' consolidated financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46") Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs") by business enterprises that are the primary beneficiaries. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has the majority of the risks or rewards associated with the VIE. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46, Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), to clarify some of the provisions of FIN 46, and to defer certain entities from adopting until the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. Application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application for all other types of VIEs is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. We believe we have no arrangements that would require the application of FIN 46R. We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4- ACQUISITIONS In May 2004, TelePlus acquires all of the outstanding stock of Smart Cell, Ltd. The acquisition adds 5 Western Canadian retail locations and gives TelePlus the ability to continue its expansion in western Canada. These factors contribute to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of Smart Cell, Ltd.'s net assets, and as a result, TelePlus has recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction. The total purchase price is approximately $447,000. The allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values was as follows: See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. Inventory $ 42,076 Furniture and fixtures 65,672 Goodwill 338,956 Net assets acquired at fair values $446,704 Total consideration: 525,000 common shares $372,750 Cash 73,954 $446,704 Management has determined that no amount need to be allocated to other intangible assets and development, and $338,956 has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment, at least annually. The results of operations of Smart Cell, Ltd. have been included in Teleplus' consolidated statements of operations since the completion of the acquisition in May 2004. Results of operations for Smart Cell, Ltd. for periods prior to the acquisition were not material to Teleplus and accordingly pro forma results of operations have not been presented. In connection with the acquisition of Smart Cell Ltd, the Company has agreed to issue additional shares up to a maximum of 450,000 common shares contingent on the achievement of gross revenues and net profits targets during a five year period following the date of acquisition. In August 2004 Teleplus acquired all of the outstanding stock of CellZ Inc. The acquisition adds 7 Ontario Canadian retail locations and allows Teleplus to expand in Ontario in locations not presently occupied by an existing Teleplus store. These factors contribute to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of CellZ Inc's net assets, and as result, Teleplus has recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction. The total purchase price is approximately $985,000. The allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values was as follows: Inventory $132,999 Fixed Assets 75,284 Goodwill 777,287 $985,570 Total consideration 685,000 common shares $754,800 Cash 230,770 $985,570 Management has determined that no amount need be allocated to other intangible assets and development, and $777,287 has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment, at least annually. . See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. The results of operations of CellZ Inc. have been included in Teleplus' consolidated statement of operations since the completion of the acquisition in August 2004.

All options have been granted at a price equal to or greater that the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant. Had compensation cost for the employee and non - employee director stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 2004, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, our net loss and net loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts below. 2004 As reported Net income (loss) $ (1,073,970) Pro Forma Compensation expense 49,000 Pro forma: Net income (loss) $ (1,122,970) Net income (loss) per share as reported $ ( 0.02) Pro forma compensation expense per share ( 0.00) Pro forma earnings (loss) per share $ ( 0.02) See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the black - Scholes option - pricing model.

The Company does not believe that the following legal proceedings would have a materially adverse impact on the Company's business or its results of operations, nevertheless such proceedings are disclosed. Goods and Services. TelePlus is currently defending an action instigated against it by one of its suppliers. Such supplier claims that the Company defaulted on the payment of goods sold by supplier to the Company. Provide. The Company is unable to sell these goods at retail and has attempted, without success, to return the goods to the supplier. The supplier has refused to take the goods back. Total liability to the Company, if it losses the claim, may reach a maximum of $20,000CDN. Proposed Tax Assessment. Teleplus 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 $474,000CDN and penalties of approximately $168,000CDN. The proposed tax assessment is for $322,000CDN for QST and $320,000CDN for GST. Teleplus believes that certain deductions initially disallowed by the MRQ for the QST are deductible and is in the process of compiling the deductions to present to the MRQ. Teleplus also believes that export sales to the United States of America are exempt from the GST. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," Teleplus makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. No provision for this matter has been accrued. Teleplus reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Dealing with taxing authorities is inherently unpredictable. However, Teleplus believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the proposed tax assessment pending against it. Nevertheless, it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. Wrongful Dismissal: A former employee of TelePlus retail Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has instigated a claim in Quebec Superior Court in the amount of $90,000CDN against the Company for wrongful dismissal. The Company doesn't believe the claim to be founded and intends to vigorously contest such claim. The parties are at discovery stages. Other Claims: There is a claim from three individuals in British Columbia for an amount of about $ 147,000 and the issuance of 510,000 shares for which a letter of demand has recently been served on the Company. The Company doesn't believe the claim to be founded and intends to vigorously contest such claim. Teleplus intends to vigorously defend this proposed assessment and other lawsuits and claims against us. However, we cannot predict the outcome of this assessment. An adverse resolution of the assessment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has instigated the following claim against Wal-Mart Canada, corp.: Wal-Mart Canada, Corp. The Company's subsidiary, TelePlus Management, has instigated September 23rd, 2004 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice a USD$2.3 million claim against Wal-Mart Canada Corp. for breach of agreement. Parties are at discovery stages. Operating Leases Teleplus has several non-cancelable operating leases, primarily for office space and storage that expire through December 31, 2009. These leases require Teleplus to pay all operating costs such as maintenance and insurance. Rental expense for the operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $1,018,007 and $657,132, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of December 31, 2004 are: December 31, Amount ----------------- 2005 $ 830,287 2006 604,031 2007 364,075 2008 196,962 2009 123,177 $ 2,118,542 See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. NOTE 9 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK - As of December 31, 2004, amounts due from two customers amounted to 99% of total trade accounts receivable.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (this "Form 10 KSB"), including statements under "Item 1. Description of Business," and "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis", constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, the "Reform Act"). Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "should", or "anticipates", or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Teleplus Enterprises, Inc. ("TelePlus", "the Company", "we", "us" or "our") to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. References in this form 10-KSB, unless another date is stated, are to December 31, 2004. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TelePlus Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") was originally incorporated in Nevada as Terlingua Industries, Ltd. on April 16, 1999. The Company's business plan was to engage in online marketing and distribution of organic herbal supplements in an international market. On January 27, 2000, the Company changed its name to HerbalOrganics.com, Inc. ("HerbalOrganics"). Prior to the acquisition, discussed below, the Company had not generated any revenues from operations and was considered a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7, whose operations principally involved research and development, market analysis, securing and establishing a new business, and other business planning activities. In September 2003, the Company formed a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Teleplus Retail Services, Inc. ("Retail"), a Canadian corporation formed under the laws of the province of Quebec. In October 2003, Retail acquired a significant amount of assets from, and assumed certain liabilities of, 3577996 Canada, Inc., a Canadian Business Corporation ("3577996") relating to 3577996's "TelePlus Consumer Services" business. Also in October 2003, Visioneer Holdings Group Inc. acquired control of the Company. 3577996 and Visioneer Holdings Group Inc. ("Visioneer") are controlled by the same shareholders. Marius Silvasan, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and sole Director, controls Visioneer and 3577996. Mr. Silvasan indirectly controls the Company through Visioneer. For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as an acquisition of HerbalOrganics and a recapitalization of 3577996 with accounting treatment similar to that used in a reverse acquisition. 3577996 emerged as the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. The operations of HerbalOrganics are not carried over and were adjusted to $0. HerbalOrganics (which changed its name to TelePlus Enterprises, Inc.), however, remained as the legal reporting entity. Prior to the acquisition, 3577996 had operated the TelePlus Consumer Services business since 1999. As a result of the acquisition by Retail of the TelePlus Consumer Services business from 3577996 and a change in business focus, HerbalOrganics.com, Inc. changed its name to TelePlus Enterprises, Inc. Hereinafter, a reference to the Company or TelePlus includes a reference to the TelePlus Consumer Services business and vice-versa unless otherwise provided. In March 2003, the Company declared a 10:1 forward stock split. In October 2003, the Company declared a 2.375:1 forward stock split. The effects of the stock splits have been retroactively reflected in this report on Form 10-KSB unless otherwise stated. 3 BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER The Company is a vertically integrated provider of wireless and landline products and services across North America. The Company's retail division - TelePlus Retail Services, Inc. - owns and operates a national chain of TelePlus branded stores in major shopping malls, selling a comprehensive line of wireless and portable communication devices. TelePlus Wireless, Corp. operates a virtual wireless network selling cellular network access to distributors in the United States. TelePlus Connect, Corp. is a reseller of landline and long distance services including internet services. Currently there is a good fit between the Company's resources and the opportunities and threats posed by its external environment. The Company has a diversified product mix that is complemented with unique accessory offerings. The Company has prominently displayed, attractive, strategically located retail outlets, experienced employees and management and strong supplier relations. The Company believes that growth will to come in three folds. GROWTH IN CANADA: The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary TelePlus Retail Services, Inc. currently operates 39 TelePlus branded stores in three Canadian provinces. The Company intends to increase to 70 the number of TelePlus branded stores by 2007. These stores are expected to be located in major metro centers. The Company completed in 2004 acquisition of two companies: SMARTCELL and CELLZ. The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary TelePlus Connect, Corp. is planning to offer landline and long distance prepaid services to selected individuals in Canada who cannot obtain basic telecom services from traditional telecom carriers. These individuals are often called the unbanked. Current estimates place the unbanked market in North America at 9.5% of total households and the market size is estimated at over $1 billion. To facilitate the rollout of this service the Company has negotiated and expects to soon sign definitive agreements to acquire 100% of the shares of Keda Consulting Corp. and Freedom Phones Lines. The Company also acquired Telizon on January 26th 2005. o Keda Consulting Corp. provides a broad range of management consulting services to the North American telecommunications industry, specializing in business development, sales/marketing, and operations. Once the acquisition of Keda is completed, it will change its name to TelePlus Connect Corp. and Keda's management will take over the operations of TelePlus' prepaid landline and long distance telephone service operations. The Company is expected to benefit from Keda's and Freedom's management teams which have much experience in the telecommunications industry. The Company believes a seasoned and experienced management team, familiar with all aspects of the rapidly growing and changing telecommunications business, is a key strategic asset. o Freedom Phone Lines, headquartered in Ontario, Canada, is a Bell Canada reseller of landline and long distance services, which services over 3,300 customers in the Ontario area and generates yearly revenues of $2.5 million and EBITDA of $0.300 million. o In January 2005, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Telizon, Inc., subject to the Company receiving financing for the deal. The terms of the acquisition call for the Company to pay $7.2 million in cash no later than 150 days from January 26, 2005. Telizon is a reseller of landline/long distance services and also an Internet service provider. Telizon has annual revenues of $12.0 million and EBITDA of $1.6 million. Management anticipates that the deal, if successfully completed, will accelerate the Company's business plan by 18 months, resulting in a revenue run rate of $30 million and EBITDA of over $1 million, as well as synergies with other Teleplus operations GROWTH IN THE UNITED STATES: TelePlus intends to deploy a private label wireless program under the "TelePlus" brand name in the US. TelePlus Wireless Corp. ("TelePlus Wireless"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TelePlus Enterprises, Inc. initiated deployment of the Company's MVNO during the month of October. Offering private label wireless services is commonly referred to as creating a Mobile Virtual Network Operator ("MVNO"). This market was developed first in Europe, where more than 20 MVNO's can be found. Virgin Mobile of England and Wireless Maingate of Sweden were among the first group of MVNO's launched in Europe. TelePlus intends to make its phone available at superstores and vending machines throughout the US. 4 To facilitate the development and rollout of Teleplus' MVNO service, the Company announced: o In November 2004, an agreement with Consumer Cellular for the use of the AT&T Wireless network, now part of Cingular network, which called for the network to be the carrier of choice to run TelePlus' mobile virtual network; and o In January 2005, a distribution agreement with Mr. Prepaid. The agreement covers the distribution of Teleplus Wireless services across the Mr. Prepaid Network. Mr. Prepaid, based in the United States, supplies a variety of wireless phones, related accessories and wireless and long distance vouchers to over 700 retail points of distribution located on the East Coast of the United States. Additionally, it recently launched its own Mobile Virtual Network program under the UR MOBILE brand name. TelePlus has shown strong revenue growth from $1.4 million in 2000 to $12.2 million as of December 31, 2004. TelePlus delivers high consumer confidence and exceptional customer service, which is evidenced by winning 4 consecutive times the Canadian "Consumer's Choice Award" for best wireless retail business - 2002, 2003, 2004 & 2005. PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TelePlus is a leading provider of wireless and portable communication devices in Canada. TelePlus' products include wireless handsets and services from major Canadian carriers, international phones, satellites, home phones and other mobile electronic devices including an exclusive line of international GSM world phones. Sales of these products accounted for over 75% of the Company's total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Over the last few years, TelePlus has successfully negotiated distribution agreements with the major Canadian wireless providers as well as with a variety of communication vendors. Today, those agreements allow TelePlus to promote the following products and services, among others: PRODUCT/SERVICE PROVIDER/VENDOR * Wireless Products/Services Fido Solutions, Telus Mobility, Bell Mobility, Virgin Mobile * Home Phones V-Tech, Sanyo, Siemens, Uniden * Pagers and 2-way Pagers PageNet, Unipage, * Satellite Dish systems StarChoice TelePlus' range of products offering has continuously increased since inception. TelePlus continuously re-evaluates its product offering to include items that have both solid retail potential and the ability to further boost demand for our existing product lines. TelePlus expects to continue developing its product offering over the next few years to become the premier choice of consumers seeking the purchase of wireless and portable communication devices. TelePlus is the largest small store multi-brand wireless retailer in the province of Quebec. The Company had $ 12,180,501 in sales revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The Company's wireless partners have identified the Company as a top wireless retailer due to high sales performance and excellent customer service. The Company markets its products and services to virtually every market segment. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, TelePlus embarked on an aggressive five-year expansion plan, discussed in more detail below under "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis." 5 The Canadian wireless market consists of business clients and consumer users. The market for business clients can be further subdivided into operational users and professional users. Operational users include primarily firms which view wireless services and devices as a tool to increase productivity and reduce costs. Professional users primarily include users using wireless services and devices to facilitate communication and increase their availability to swiftly deal with customer and supplier demands. The consumer users market can be subdivided into families and youths. Each market segment gives particular importance to the different wireless market attributes. Business clients are more focused on awareness, networks, devices and standards whereas consumer users focus on awareness and price. Operational users place more importance on standards and software than do professional users or consumer users. The Company selects retail outlets based on each Canadian wireless carrier's targeted market strategy and the importance that each market segment gives to the market attributes. Based on this information, the Company locates its retail outlets in malls in major metropolitan areas that have shown a consistent demographic increase over the last few years with similar or improving trends over the foreseeable future, the population of which predominately consists of young families or single professionals earning average to higher than average incomes. DISTRIBUTION TelePlus has earned a reputation for revolutionizing the wireless marketplace in Canada. To differentiate its product offering from that of its competitors, TelePlus operates 39 TelePlus branded stores under the "one-stop wireless shop" concept. The Company has warehouses in Montreal and Toronto from which it distributes its products to the retail locations. The Company uses a sophisticated point-of-sale ("POS") system to manage its inventory requirements and efficiently distribute inventory to the retail locations. Teleplus provides its customers with a wide range of choices for wireless products and services from different service providers and manufacturers. TelePlus is not locked into an agreement with any one wireless service provider; therefore, the Company maintains the flexibility to provide its customers with more services than its competition. In addition, TelePlus' flexibility and speed, supported by its professional sales consultants, provides its customers with extensive technical support in both product knowledge and service programs. This "one-stop wireless shop" concept differs from the conventional wireless store business model employed by most of its competitors. The "one-stop wireless shop" concept delivers customers with an optimum wireless solution based on their particular needs and expectations. TelePlus does not set the retail prices that it charges for products sold to its customers. The Company's suppliers require the Company to sell the products at manufacturers' suggested retail prices. The strategy generally protects the Company's sales margins and limits price-based competition. However, during periods of intense competition among wireless carriers this strategy leads to price erosion particularly on handsets that are sold to first time buyers which tend to be very price conscientious as discussed in more detail under "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis." 6 The Company's suppliers provide a full refund policy on most of their products which the Company extends to its customers. This refund policy minimizes the Company's losses of margin as a result of returned products. In addition, the Company benefits of protection mechanisms from its suppliers that protect the Company's margins against erosion. Any changes in the retail price of handsets, which is the largest selling product in dollar value, allows the Company to claim the reduction in profit through carrier credits. COMPETITIVE OVERVIEW WIRELESS SECTOR The wireless industry is a vast and fast growing industry of the Telecommunications Sector. As time passes, wireless phones are becoming more and more commonplace. According to EMC, a leading researcher and publisher of intelligence about wireless markets, there are now more than 1 billion wireless phone subscribers worldwide and 50% of all calls in the world will soon be wireless. IDC estimates that total sales of worldwide mobile phones increased 20% in 2004 to 658 million units. Some key trends that investors should be aware of and are important in evaluating the industry's potential growth include the following: o The costs of acquiring and maintaining a wireless plan has dropped over the years as a result of pricing pressures, promotional events by carriers, and increased customer churn (customer churn is defined as the number of clients who cancel their contract with the carrier prior to the end of the term); o The wireless telecommunications industry is experiencing (and will continue to experience) significant technological change, which has led wireless carriers to upgrade their wireless networks capabilities and rollout new product and service offerings, such as photos, music, and wireless Internet (Wi-FI); o Wireless phone manufactures, such as Samsung, LG, and Pantech, are now marketing next generation phones with advanced features; o The image of wireless devices has changed from a luxury gadget to a business and entertainment tool. Moreover, the Yankee Group has stated that Americans are now looking at wireless service as a utility rather than a novelty; o Wireless number portability, which recently took effect, provides customers with more flexibility when choosing a carrier and increases the rate of new activations; and o According to J.D. Power, consumers are increasingly more satisfied with their wireless service, call quality, and cost. CANADIAN WIRELESS INDUSTRY According to industry data, by the end of 2005, more than half of all Canadians will be mobile phone customers. Canadians currently use more than 12 million wireless phones on a daily basis. According to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the wireless industry is a key driver of the Canadian Telecommunications sector, consistently posting double digit sales gains; recently increasing 13% to over $8 billion. The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association estimates that in 2004 there were over 13.6 million wireless subscribers, including 10.4 million postpaid and 3.2 million prepaid. 7 In Canada, consolidation amongst wireless carriers has been a trend. Recently, Rogers Wireless announced deals with AT&T Wireless and Microcell that has positioned it as the largest carrier of wireless services in Canada, with about 37% market share or 5.298 million subscribers. Other major carriers, in market share order, include Bell Mobility, a unit of BCE (NYSE: BCE), with a 33% market share and TELUS Mobility with a 26% market share. AMERICAN WIRELESS INDUSTRY The vastness and fast growing nature of the American wireless industry is illustrated by the following statistics: In a January 2005 Business Week article, Gartner estimated that 2005 wireless revenues will grow 11% to $122.5 billion; o Euromonitor, in a July 2003 report, estimated that in 2003 the retail post-paid wireless industry totaled $3.8 billion, and is expected to reach $5.1 billion by 2007. Atlantic-ACM estimated in February 2003, that the pre-paid retail wireless industry will grow from $4.4 billion in 2003 to $9.5 billion in 2007; o According to J.D. Power, 59% of the U.S. households have a wireless phone connection. Industry analysts project that penetration rates will reach 60% to 70% by 2005; o The Yankee Group stated in an August 2004 report that 50% of 13 to 17 year olds have a wireless phone, a sizable increase from a 2003 survey in which 33% of teens were reported to have a wireless phone. Increased penetration of this segment of the population has been driven by an increase in marketing of family plans; o The Yankee Group also projected that by the end of 2006, there will be over 200 million wireless phone subscribers; o The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) stated in a September 2004 report that 97% of the total domestic population live in an area in which at least three carriers offer wireless services; o The FCC also found that at the end of 2003 there were 160.6 million wireless subscribers, a 13.3% increase from the end of 2002. These subscribers used their service, on average, 500 minutes per month. Minute usage increased by 17.1% over the prior year driven by an increase in text messaging and more advanced headsets that were utilized for advanced and novel leisure and entertainment purposes; and o According to First Global Research, the domestic wireless market is adding 4 to 5 million net new subscribers each quarter. The major wireless carriers in the United States in order of subscribers are Cingular (a joint venture of BellSouth Corp. and SBC Communications Inc.), Verizon Wireless (a unit of Verizon), SprintPCS, TMobile (a unit of Deutsche Telekom), and Nextel. According to Bear Stearns and Baird, these operators at last count had over 138 million subscribers and last twelve months revenues of over $80 billion. The five major carriers have over 80% market share of the total wireless market in the United States of 172 million at the end of the third quarter of 2004. 8 Consolidation amongst carriers in the United States has also been an ongoing trend. In late 2004, Cingular finalized its combination with AT&T Wireless. More recently, Sprint and Nextel have stated their intention to combine. Consolidation is also apparent in the second tier as Western Wireless (NASDAQ: WWCA), a regional wireless carrier, is in the midst of being acquired by Alltel (NYSE: AT), the sixth largest wireless carrier. According to the AP, the FON/NXTL deal would fortify Sprint's position as the nation's third largest wireless service provider behind Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless and have 35 million wireless subscribers and $40 billion in annual revenue. The Alltel and Western Wireless deal would create a $10 billion Company with 9.8 million subscribers or about 6% of the wireless market in the United States. According to Bloomberg, industry consolidation is occurring due to a more competitive business environment. Carriers are suffering from lower average price per minute and a lower rate of new subscribers being added to the overall subscriber base. RETAIL WIRELESS INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The Company's primary business is wireless retail operations in Canada. The Canadian and Worldwide retail wireless industry (post-paid and pre-paid) is a huge and fast growing industry in the Retail Technology Sector. (FYI: post-paid customers subscribe to a monthly service plan usually under a one or two year contract, while pre-paid customers typically do not sign a contractual agreement with a cellular carrier. Consumers typically buy airtime in $20 to $100 denominations at a higher per minute rate than most postpaid plans). The retail wireless industry is highly competitive and fragmented, with no dominant player. The Company's retail operations primarily compete with a variety of small distributors and specialized retailers, such as Cabine Telephonique and Wireless Wave, that focus on a particular segment of the market, as well as a few single large distributors/retailers in Canada that offer a broad range of products, including FutureShop, Office Depot (NYSE: ODP), and Best Buy (NYSE: BBY). Competition may also come from the Company's own suppliers/distributors/carriers who sell directly to commercial and retail customers. Additionally, a number of companies (well known and obscure) have established e-commerce operations targeted at the wireless consumer. Competition in the industry is based on product quality, competitive pricing, delivery efficiency, customer service and satisfaction levels, maintenance of satisfactory dealer relationships, and the ability to anticipate changes in technology and customer preferences. Publicly traded companies in the United States that have retail wireless operations include: Circuit City (NYSE: CC), BestBuy, FTS Group (OTC BB: FLIP), Office Depot (NYSE: ODP), and RadioShack (NYSE: RSH). MVNO MARKET OVERVIEW Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), which buy mobile services from established wireless operators and resell the service under their own brand names, were first developed in Europe, where there are currently over 20 MVNO's, including Virgin Mobile and Wireless Maingate. These two companies are believed to be two of the early pioneers in this space. Others companies that have or are developing MVNO offerings in North America include AT&T (NYSE: T), Boost, ESPN, Tracfone, Qwest (NYSE: Q), and Vonage. 9 In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, the author mentioned that industry watchers believe Virgin Mobile USA, an MVNO with over 2 million subscribers that resells access to the Sprint network, is set to go public in the near future. If this should occur, it would represent the only pure publicly traded MVNO Company in the United States. Already, Virgin Mobile UK, an MVNO with over 4 million subscribers in the UK that resells access to the T-Mobile network, is publicly traded in Europe. The primary advantage of operating as an MVNO is that such an operation requires much less capital and overhead than the operations of a traditional wireless carrier. An MVNO simply utilizes existing networks from established carriers. However, substantial amounts of monies may be needed to build brand recognition and pay for access to a carrier's network. A secondary advantage to retail oriented companies, such TLPE, is that an MVNO offering may provide opportunity to expand its overall margins as it picks up incremental revenues at higher margins. DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW CUSTOMERS As of December 31, 2004, amounts due from two customers amounted to 99% of total trade accounts receivable. One customer accounted for 28% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TelePlus filed an application to obtain "SimplySellular" as a trademark which it was granted January 7th 2005. NEED FOR GOVERNMENT APPROVAL TelePlus does not need any government approval. EMPLOYEES TelePlus has a total of 175 employees, 140 of which are employed on a full-time basis. RECENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS On July 12, 2004, Teleplus secured $11,000,000 in financing from Cornell Capital Partners LP. The terms of the transaction call for TelePlus to receive initial funding in the amount of $1,000,000 payable in three (3) installments: $450,000 payable on closing, $400,000 payable upon filing of a registration statement and the balance of $150,000 payable upon the registration statement becoming effective. As part of the transaction the Company also secured $10,000,000 under a Standby Equity Agreement. Teleplus can draw the funds under the Standby Equity Agreement over a 24 month period based on Teleplus' funding requirements subject to an effective registration with the SEC which became effective Oct 1st 2004. The proceeds will be used to finance existing and future acquisitions, capital expenditures, increases in inventory and for general working purposes. As at October 10, 2004 Teleplus has received the initial $1,000,000 pertaining to this agreement. Teleplus has set up a convertible debenture on its balance sheet to account for this Transaction. Agreements pertaining to the financing arrangement were filed. In connection with the Standby Equity Agreement Teleplus issued 258,098 shares of common stock as financing costs. As at December 31, 2004 Teleplus has received an additional $ 1,750,000 from Cornell Capital Partners LP. These funds were drawn against the $10,000,000 Standby Equity Agreement that was secured on July 16, 2004. 10 In October 2004, the Company signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire all of the assets, except the phone card business assets, of US based Mr. Prepaid. The terms of the transaction call for TelePlus to pay a combination of cash and stock compensation valued at up to approximately USD$3 million to the principals of Mr. Prepaid. January 18, 2005 after conducting a thorough due diligence review of Mr. Prepaid, the Company and its strategic advisors have decided that the prudent decision is not to proceed with the acquisition. Rather, It was decided that a network wide distribution agreement would be more beneficial to the Company at this time, the details of which are as follows: o Shareholder Dilution - TelePlus and its strategic advisors determined that a network wide distribution agreement would reap substantially the same benefit to the Company without creating any dilution for shareholders o Focus On Core Competency - Our due diligence process indicated that an acquisition of Mr. Prepaid would require significant attention and resources towards initiatives that did not involve our core competency and would divert management from its plan to establish TelePlus as a significant participant within our industry. o Highest and Best Use of Company Resources - It was determined that use of TelePlus cash and human resources would generate a far greater return on investment if aimed towards developing a national distribution network, as opposed to the narrower geographical reach of Mr. Prepaid. o Capitalizing on Focused Opportunities - TelePlus has and will have the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities that are focused on our core industry strengths. As such, it was determined that capitalizing on such opportunities would yield greater returns on investment and equity than any acquisition of Mr. Prepaid could. In November 2004, the Company hired Kelly McLaren as its new COO and President. In December 2004, the Company announced it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Freedom Phones Lines. Freedom Phone Lines, headquartered in Ontario, Canada, is a Bell Canada reseller of landline and long distance services, which serves over 3,300 customers in the Ontario area and generates yearly revenues of $2.5 million and EBITDA of $0.300 million. The terms of the acquisition call for the Company to pay $0.480 million in cash upon closing and issue $0.480 million worth of shares also upon closing to the shareholders of Freedom. In December 2004, the Company announced it had signed a definitive agreements to acquire 100% of the shares of Keda Consulting Corp. Keda Consulting Corp. provides a broad range of management consulting services to the North American telecommunications industry, specializing in business development, sales/marketing, and operations. Once the acquisition of Keda is completed, it will change its name to TelePlus Connect Corp. and Keda's management will take over the operations of TelePlus' prepaid landline and long distance telephone service operations. The Company is expected to benefit from Keda's and Freedom's management teams which have much experience in the telecommunications industry. The Company believes a seasoned and experienced management team, familiar with all aspects of the rapidly growing and changing telecommunications business, is a key strategic asset. The terms of the transaction call for TelePlus to pay the shareholders of Keda on an earn-out basis up to $16 million based on the achievement by TelePlus Connect of specific EBITDA benchmarks during the next 48 months. 11 In January 2005, the Company announced it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Telizon, Inc., subject to The Company receiving financing for the deal. The terms of the acquisition call for the Company to pay $7.2 million in cash no later than 150 days from January 26, 2005.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The following proceedings have been instigated against the Company. The Company does not believe that the following legal proceedings would have a materially adverse impact on the Company's business or its results of operations, nevertheless such proceedings are disclosed. Goods and Services. TelePlus is currently defending an action instigated against it by one of its suppliers. Such supplier claims that the Company defaulted on the payment of goods sold by supplier to the Company. The Company claims that it failed to pay the goods sold by supplier because such goods were purchased contingent on supplier making available to the Company wireless network access which supplier failed to provide. The Company is unable to sell these goods at retail and has attempted, without success, to return the goods to the supplier. The supplier has refused to take the goods back. Total liability to the Company, if it losses the claim, may reach a maximum of $20,000. Proposed Tax Assessment. Teleplus is involved in proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec ("MRQ"). The MRQ has proposed an assessment of for the Goods and Services Tax ("GST") and Quebec Sales Tax ("QST") of approximately CDN$474,000 and penalties of approximately CDN$168,000. The proposed tax assessment is for CDN$322,000 for QST and CDN$320,000 for GST. Teleplus 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. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Wrongful Dismissal: A former employee of TelePlus retail Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has instigated a claim in Quebec Superior Court in the amount of $90,000 against the Company for wrongful dismissal. The Company doesn't believe the claim to be founded and intends to vigorously contest such claim. The parties are at discovery stages. 12 The Company has instigated the following claim against Wal-Mart Canada, corp.: Wal-Mart Canada, Corp. The Company's subsidiary, TelePlus Management, has instigated September 23rd, 2004 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice a USD$2.3 million claim against Wal-Mart Canada Corp. for breach of agreement. Parties are at discovery stages. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS "Bid" and "asked" offers for the common stock are listed on the NASDAQ OTC-Bulletin Board published by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. The Company's common stock began trading in the first quarter of 2003, under the trading symbol, "HBOG". The symbol was changed to "TLPE" in connection with the Company's name change on October 10, 2003. The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for the Company's common stock for the periods indicated as reported by the NASDAQ OTC-Bulletin Board. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions. Bid Prices Quarter Ended High Low - ------------- ----- ----- December 31, 2004 $0.42 $0.37 September 30, 2004 $0.47 $0.42 June 30, 2004 $0.74 $0.65 March 31, 2004 $2.57 $2.47 There were 78 holders of record of the common stock as of March 28, 2005. The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its common stock and does not anticipate the payment of a cash dividend in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to reinvest in its business operations any funds that could be used to pay a cash dividend. The Company's common stock is considered a "penny stock" as defined in certain rules (the "Rules") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In general, a security which is not quoted on NASDAQ or has a market price of less than $5 per share where the issuer does not have in excess of $2,000,000 in net tangible assets (none of which conditions the Company meets) is considered a penny stock. The SEC's rules regarding penny stocks impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally persons with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse). For transactions covered by the rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Thus the Rules affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's shares should they wish to do so because of the adverse effect that the Rules have upon liquidity of penny stocks. Unless the transaction is exempt under the Rules, under the Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, broker-dealers effecting customer transactions in penny stocks are required to provide their customers with (i) a risk disclosure document; (ii) disclosure of current bid and ask quotations if any; (iii) disclosure of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its sales personnel in the transaction; and (iv) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. As a result of the penny stock rules the market liquidity for the Company's securities may be severely adversely effected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and the ability of purchasers of the securities to resell them. 13 RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES None.

RISK FACTORS Management Recognizes That We Must Raise Additional Financing To Fund Our Ongoing Operations And Implement Our Business Plan. The Company requires additional capital to support strategic acquisitions and its current expansion plans. The Company currently has in place a revolving credit facility with a third party. Such facility provides the Company access with up to $10M in financing based on the Company's needs and subject to certain conditions. Should the Company not be able to draw down on such credit facility as required this may require the Company to delay, curtail or scale back some or all of its expansion plans. Any additional financing may involve dilution to the Company's then-existing shareholders. 19 We Are Currently Involved In Legal Proceedings With The Minister Of Revenue Of Quebec, Canada, The Outcome Of Which Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Financial Position. 3577996 Canada Inc. is involved in legal proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec. The Minister of Revenue of Quebec has proposed a tax assessment of approximately $474,000CDN and penalties of approximately $168,000CDN. The proposed tax assessment is for $322,000CDN for Quebec Sales Tax and $320,000CDN for Goods and Services Tax. 3577996 believes that certain deductions initially disallowed by the Minister of Revenue of Quebec for the Quebec Sales Tax are deductible and we are in the process of compiling the deductions for the Minister of Revenue of Quebec. It is possible that the outcome of these proceedings could have a material adverse affect on our cash flows or our results of operations, Our Inability To Secure Competitive Pricing Arrangements In A Market Dominated By Larger Retailers With Higher Financial Resources Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Operations. Profit margins in the wireless and communication industry are low. Our larger competitors, who have more resources, have the ability to reduce their prices significantly lower than current prices. This would further reduce our profit margins. Should such an event occur and management chose not to offer competitive prices, we could lose our market share. If we chose to compete, the reduction in profit margins could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. We Have Historically Lost Money And Losses May Continue In The Future, Which May Cause Us To Curtail Operations. Since 2003 we have not been profitable and have lost money on both a cash and non-cash basis. For the year ended December 31, 2004 we incurred a net loss of $1,073,970 and our accumulated deficit was $1,759,130. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $715,787 and our accumulated deficit at the end of December 31, 2003 was $685,160. Future losses are likely to occur, as we are dependent on spending money to pay for our operations. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity and cash flow problems. If our losses continue, our ability to operate may be severely impacted. We Are Subject To A Working Capital Deficit, Which Means That Our Current Assets On December 31, 2003 And 2004, Were Not Sufficient To Satisfy Our Current Liabilities And, Therefore, Our Ability To Continue Operations Is At Risk. We had a working capital deficit of $1,695,868 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $788,117 for the year ended December 31, 2003, which means that our current liabilities exceeded our current assets on December 31, 2004 by $1,695,868 and by $788,117 on December 31, 2003. Current assets are assets that are expected to be converted to cash within one year and, therefore, may be used to pay current liabilities as they become due. Our working capital deficit means that our current assets on December 31, 2004, and on December 31, 2003 were not sufficient to satisfy all of our current liabilities on those dates. If our ongoing operations do not begin to provide sufficient profitability to offset the working capital deficit, we may have to raise additional capital or debt to fund the deficit or curtail future operations. Our Obligations Under The Secured Convertible Debentures Are Secured By All of Our Assets. Our obligations under the secured convertible debentures, issued to Cornell Capital Partners are secured by all of our assets. As a result, if we default under the terms of the secured convertible debentures, Cornell Capital Partners could foreclose its security interest and liquidate all of our assets. This would cease operations. 20 Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume And May Fluctuate Significantly, Which May Affect Our Shareholders' Ability To Sell Shares Of Our Common Stock. Prior to this filing, there has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market for our common stock will develop. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market from time to time in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our stock will be stable or appreciate over time. The factors may negatively impact shareholders' ability to sell shares of our common stock. Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be "Penny Stock," Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements. Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, AS AMENDED. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock: o With a price of less than $5.00 per share; o That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; o Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or o In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years. o Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. We Could Fail To Attract Or Retain Key Personnel, Which Could Be Detrimental To Our Operations. Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of key executives, including Marius Silvasan, our Chief Executive Officer, Robert Krebs, our Chief Financial Officer, Kelly McLaren, our Chief Operating Officer, Suzanne Pownall, our Director of Sales and Marketing, Jeanne Chan, our Vice President of Procurement and Operations The loss of the services of any of the foregoing persons could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to find their successor. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain key-man life insurance policies on any of the foregoing persons. We also have other key employees who manage our operations and if we were to lose their services, senior management would be required to expend time and energy to find and train their replacements. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources we may not be able to attract the sufficient number and quality of staff. 21 We Are Subject to Price Volatility Due to Our Operations Materially Fluctuating. As a result of the evolving nature of the markets in which we compete, as well as the current nature of the public markets and our current financial condition, we believe that our operating results may fluctuate materially, as a result of which quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful. If in some future quarter, whether as a result of such a fluctuation or otherwise, our results of operations fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. You should not rely on our results of any interim period as an indication of our future performance. Additionally, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may cause our quarterly results to fluctuate include, among others: o our ability to retain existing clients and customers; o our ability to attract new clients and customers at a steady rate; o our ability to maintain client satisfaction; o the extent to which our products gain market acceptance; o the timing and size of client and customer purchases; o introductions of products and services by competitors; o price competition in the markets in which we compete; o our ability to attract, train, and retain skilled management, o the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure; and o general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the wireless and portable communication device industry. We May Not Be Able To Compete Effectively In Markets Where Our Competitors Have More Resources. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, longer relationships with clients, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and public relations resources than TelePlus. Based on total assets and annual revenues, we are significantly smaller than many of our competitors. Similarly, we compete against significantly larger and better-financed companies in our business. We may not successfully compete in any market in which we conduct business currently or in the future. The fact that we compete with established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories than us, enables them to engage in more substantial advertising and promotion and attract a greater number of customers and business than we currently attract. While this competition is already intense, if it increases, it could have an even greater adverse impact on our revenues and profitability. Our Limited Operating History In Our Industry Makes It Difficult To Forecast Our Future Results. As a result of our limited operating history, our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations. 22 If We Do Not Successfully Establish Strong Brand Identity In The Markets We Are Currently Serving, We May Be Unable To Achieve Widespread Acceptance Of Our Products. We believe that establishing and strengthening our products is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our future products and to establishing key strategic relationships. The importance of brand recognition will increase as current and potential competitors enter the market with competing products. Our ability to promote and position our brand depends largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to provide high quality products and customer support. These activities are expensive and we may not generate a corresponding increase in customers or revenue to justify these costs. If we fail to establish and maintain our brand, or if our brand value is damaged or diluted, we may be unable to attract new customers and compete effectively. Future Acquisitions May Disrupt Our Business And Deplete Our Financial Resources. Any future acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition. We intend to consider investments in complementary companies, products and technologies. While we have no current agreements to do so, we anticipate buying businesses, products and/or technologies in the future in order to fully implement our business strategy. In the event of any future acquisitions, we may: o issue stock that would dilute our current stockholders' percentage ownership; o incur debt; o assume liabilities; o incur amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets; or o incur large and immediate write-offs. The use of debt or leverage to finance our future acquisitions should allow us to make acquisitions with an amount of cash in excess of what may be currently available to us. If we use debt to leverage up our assets, we may not be able to meet our debt obligations if our internal projections are incorrect or if there is a market downturn. This may result in a default and the loss in foreclosure proceedings of the acquired business or the possible bankruptcy of our business. Our operation of any acquired business will also involve numerous risks, including: o integration of the operations of the acquired business and its technologies or products; o unanticipated costs; o diversion of management's attention from our core business; o adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; o risks associated with entering markets in which we have limited prior experience; and o potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the purchased organizations. 23 If We Are Unable To Respond To The Rapid Changes In Technology And Services Which Characterize Our Industry, Our Business And Financial Condition Could Be Negatively Affected. Our business is directly impacted by changes in the wireless communications industry. The wireless communication products and services industry is subject to rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. Changes in technology could affect the market for our products, accelerate the obsolescence of our inventory and necessitate changes to our product line. We believe that our future success will depend largely on our ability to anticipate or adapt to such changes, to offer on a timely basis, services and products that meet these evolving standards and demand of our customers, and our ability to manage and maximize our product inventory and minimize our inventory of older and obsolete products. We also believe that our future success will depend upon how successfully our wireless carrier service providers and product vendors are able to respond to the rapidly changing technologies and products. New wireless communications technology, including personal communication services and voice communication over the internet may reduce demand for the wireless communication devices and services we currently are able to offer through our wireless carrier service providers. We cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to respond successfully to these or other technological changes, or to new products and services offered by our current and future competitors, and cannot predict whether we will encounter delays or problems in these areas, which could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We Rely In Large Part On Wireless Telecommunications Carriers With Whom We Have Business Arrangements. Our Success Depends On Our Ability To Meet Our Obligations To Those Carriers And The Abilities Of Our Wireless Telecommunication Carriers And Vendors. We depend on a small number of wireless telecommunications carriers and product manufacturers to provide our retail customers with wireless services and communication devices. Currently, approximately 90% of our wireless products and services accounts are dependant upon arrangements with Telus Mobility and Microcell. Such agreements may be terminated upon thirty days prior to written notice. Failure to maintain continuous relationships with these and other wireless communications carriers and product manufacturers would materially and adversely affect our business, including possibly requiring us to significantly curtail or cease our operations. Additionally, wireless telecommunications carriers may sometimes experience equipment failures and service interruptions, which could, if frequent, adversely affect customer confidence, our business operations and our reputation. Limited Duration of Agreements in Place with Major Wireless Carriers. The Company's current sales volumes have enabled the Company to build strong relationships with a variety of wireless and communication partners thus, minimizing the risks associated with the non-renewal of any of the Company's agreements. No Product Exclusivity. The current market consolidation undertaken by the major wireless carriers limit the Company's risk associated with no product exclusivity as new retail players can't readily get access to the products and services offered by the Company. Price Erosion. The Company is faced with high price elasticity resulting in the erosion of its margin on certain products. Price wars oftentimes occur in the industry which have a negative impact on profit margins. Issuance of a large number of wireless licenses increasing the number of competitors. 24 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivable, investment values, income taxes, the recapitalization and contingencies. We base our estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements: Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment (three to seven years). The majority of Teleplus' long-lived assets are located in Canada. Teleplus performs reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Revenue Recognition Teleplus' revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless, telephony products and accessories to end users. Teleplus recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Teleplus recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, Teleplus provides for the estimated cost of product warranties and reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Teleplus' suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by Teleplus and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to Teleplus by its customers. Teleplus does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier. Inventories Inventories consist of wireless and telephony products and related accessories and are stated at the lower of cost, determined by average cost method, or market. 25 ITEM 7.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Nature of business. The Company is a vertically integrated provider of wireless and landline products and services across North America. The Company's retail division - TelePlus Retail Services, Inc. - owns and operates a national chain of TelePlus branded stores in major shopping malls, selling a comprehensive line of wireless and portable communication devices. TelePlus Wireless, Corp. operates a virtual wireless network selling cellular network access to distributors in the United States. TelePlus Connect, Corp. is a reseller of landline and long distance services including internet services. Teleplus was incorporated in Nevada in January 1999. In October 2003, Visioneer Holdings Group, Inc. ("Visioneer"), subscribed to 18,050,000 and its partners to 4,512,500 newly issued shares of Herbalorganics.com, Inc. ("Herbalorganics") and on that same date Visioneer acquired 23,750,000 shares of Herbalorganics. As a result of the transactions, Visioneer acquired control of Herbalorganics. In connection with the transactions Herbalorganics changed its name to Teleplus Enterprises, Inc. ("Teleplus"). After the above transactions, there were 65,312,500 shares of common stock outstanding. Herbalorganics retained 19,000,000 shares of common stock. In October 2003, Teleplus formed a wholly owned subsidiary Teleplus Retail Services, Inc. ("Retail"), a Quebec, Canada Corporation. Retail acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities from 3577996 Canada, Inc. 3577996 Canada, Inc. is controlled by the shareholders of Visioneer. For accounting purposes, this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Herbalorganics and a recapitalization of 3577996 Canada, Inc. 3577996 Canada, Inc. is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the operations of Herbalorganics were not carried over and were adjusted to $0. In connection with the reverse merger, 3577996 Canada, Inc. acquired $11,327 in cash and assumed $700 in liabilities. As shown in the acCompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,695,868 because the promissory note of $1,550,000 and the accrued acquisition obligation of $359,000 have been classified as current liabilities. However as mentioned in Note 4 the accrued acquisition obligation will be settled by the issuance of common stock and the Company has a Standby Equity Agreement which is available to repay the promissory note and provide long term financing for the operations of the Company. (Note 10) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teleplus' wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant interCompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 32 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include highly liquid, temporary cash investments having original maturity dates of three months or less. Inventories Inventories consist of wireless and telephony products and related accessories and are stated at the lower of cost, determined by average cost method, or market. Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment (three to seven years). The majority of Teleplus' long-lived assets are located in Canada. Teleplus performs reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Acquisitions and Business Combinations The Company accounts for acquisitions and business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. The Company includes the results of operations of the acquired business from the acquisition date. Net assets of the companies acquired are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired are included in intangible assets in the acCompanying consolidated balance sheets. Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Assets The Company regularly reviews all of its long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company's overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. When management determines that an impairment review is necessary based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. Significant judgments is required in the development of projected cash flows for these purposes including assumptions regarding the appropriate level of aggregation of cash flows, their term and discount rate as well as the underlying forecasts of expected future revenue and expense. To the extent that events or circumstances cause assumptions to change, charges may be required which could be material. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 33 The Company adopted SFAS No 142,"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under prescribed conditions) for impairment in accordance with this statement. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for an amount equal to that excess. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Revenue Recognition Teleplus' revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless, telephony products and accessories to end users. Teleplus recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Teleplus recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, Teleplus provides for the estimated cost of product warranties and reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The Company receives co-operative advertising revenue from the telephone suppliers based on certain requirements to spend the available co-op advertising allotment. Any amount received under their program is deducted from advertising expense. Teleplus' suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by Teleplus and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to Teleplus by its customers. Teleplus does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier. Advertising Costs incurred in connection with advertising are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $41,000 and $27,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Income Taxes The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Teleplus records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 34 Foreign Currency Translation The Canadian dollar is the functional currency of Teleplus. Transactions in foreign currency are translated at rates of exchange rates ruling at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income within stockholders' equity. Basic and Diluted Net Income (loss) per Share Net income (loss) per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share includes the potentially diluted effect of outstanding common stock options and warrants which are convertible to common shares. Diluted net loss per share has not been provided as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments and the variable nature of any underlying interest rates. The rates of fixed obligations approximate the rates of the variable obligations. Therefore, the fair value of these loans has been estimated to be approximately equal to their carrying value. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject Teleplus to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable. Teleplus maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions as determined by Teleplus' 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 Teleplus maintains a broad customer base. Deferred Financing Fees During 2004 the Company issued 258,098 shares of common stock with a value of 193,573 and paid fees in the amount of $ 416,058 in connection with the issue of a convertible debt that runs for a period of 36 months and a promissory note that runs for 6 months. The deferred financing fees will be amortized over the terms of the respective debts. The Company incurred $ 57,471 in amortization expense for the year ended December 2004 (See Note 10). See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 35 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Boards ("FASB") issues Statements No. 123 (R), Share - Based Payments which will require compensation costs related to share based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. As permitted by the predecessor Statement No. 123, we do not recognize compensation expense with respect to stock options we have issued because the option price was no greater than the market price at the time the option was issued. Statement 123(R) will be effective for us in our fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2006. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact of Adopting Statements 123 (R). In November 2004, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") consensus on Issue 03 -13, "Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB STATEMENT NO 144, "Accounting for the impairment or Disposal of Long - Lived ASSETS," in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations, which is effective for us at the beginning of fiscal 2005. The adoption of the new pronouncements will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151 Inventory costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 , to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges , and that fixed production overheads should be allocated to inventory based on normal capacity of production facilities. Statement No. 151 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1,2006, and its adoption will not have a material impact on our financial position or Results of operations. In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" (the "Statement"). The Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Statement is generally effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this Statement had no effect on Teleplus' consolidated financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46") Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs") by business enterprises that are the primary beneficiaries. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has the majority of the risks or rewards associated with the VIE. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46, Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), to clarify some of the provisions of FIN 46, and to defer certain entities from adopting until the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. Application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application for all other types of VIEs is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. We believe we have no arrangements that would require the application of FIN 46R. We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 36 NOTE 2 - TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Teleplus' trade accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts of as at December 31, 2004 as follows: Accounts receivable $ 714,920 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts 0 $ 714,920 Teleplus maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of Teleplus' customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

NOTE 4- ACQUISITIONS In May 2004, TelePlus acquires all of the outstanding stock of Smart Cell, Ltd. The acquisition adds 5 Western Canadian retail locations and gives TelePlus the ability to continue its expansion in western Canada. These factors contribute to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of Smart Cell, Ltd.'s net assets, and as a result, TelePlus has recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction. The total purchase price is approximately $447,000. The allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values was as follows: See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 37 Inventory $ 42,076 Furniture and fixtures 65,672 Goodwill 338,956 Net assets acquired at fair values $446,704 Total consideration: 525,000 common shares $372,750 Cash 73,954 $446,704 Management has determined that no amount need to be allocated to other intangible assets and development, and $338,956 has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment, at least annually. The results of operations of Smart Cell, Ltd. have been included in Teleplus' consolidated statements of operations since the completion of the acquisition in May 2004. Results of operations for Smart Cell, Ltd. for periods prior to the acquisition were not material to Teleplus and accordingly pro forma results of operations have not been presented. In connection with the acquisition of Smart Cell Ltd, the Company has agreed to issue additional shares up to a maximum of 450,000 common shares contingent on the achievement of gross revenues and net profits targets during a five year period following the date of acquisition. In August 2004 Teleplus acquired all of the outstanding stock of CellZ Inc. The acquisition adds 7 Ontario Canadian retail locations and allows Teleplus to expand in Ontario in locations not presently occupied by an existing Teleplus store. These factors contribute to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of CellZ Inc's net assets, and as result, Teleplus has recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction. The total purchase price is approximately $985,000. The allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values was as follows: Inventory $132,999 Fixed Assets 75,284 Goodwill 777,287 $985,570 Total consideration 685,000 common shares $754,800 Cash 230,770 $985,570 Management has determined that no amount need be allocated to other intangible assets and development, and $777,287 has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment, at least annually. . See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 38 The results of operations of CellZ Inc. have been included in Teleplus' consolidated statement of operations since the completion of the acquisition in August 2004. The following are proforma condensed income statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, as though the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2003.

STOCK OPTIONS Pursuant to the Company's stock option plan for employees, the Company granted 7,635,000 stock options in 2004. Options granted are being accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No 25 (APB Opinion No. 25), Accounting for stock Issued to Employees. All options have been granted at a price equal to or greater that the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant. Had compensation cost for the employee and non - employee director stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 2004, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, our net loss and net loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts below. 2004 As reported Net income (loss) $ ( 1,073,970) Pro Forma Compensation expense 49,000 Pro forma: Net income (loss) $ ( 1,122,970) Net income (loss) per share as reported $ ( 0.02) Pro forma compensation expense per share ( 0.00) Pro forma earnings (loss) per share $ ( 0.02) See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 40 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the black - Scholes option - pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the model: 2004 Dividend yield 0% EXPECTED volatility 9% Risk free interest rates 3.5% Expected lives (years) 3 Options outstanding at December 31, 2004 are summarized as follows: Number Price Year of Issue Vesting Period Term 1,640,000 .36 2004 Immediately 3 years 225,000 .36 2004 1 Year 3 years 2,180,000 .38 2004 1 Year 3 years 40,000 .40 2004 1 Year 3 years 200,000 .38 2004 2 Years 3 years 50,000 .45 2004 2 Years 3 years 2,500,000 .40 2004 2 Years 3 years 400,000 .40 2004 3 Years 3 years 200,000 .45 2004 4 Years 3 years 200,000 .50 2004 5 Years 3 years NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The following proceedings have been instigated against the Company. The Company does not believe that the following legal proceedings would have a materially adverse impact on the Company's business or its results of operations, nevertheless such proceedings are disclosed. Goods and Services. TelePlus is currently defending an action instigated against it by one of its suppliers. Such supplier claims that the Company defaulted on the payment of goods sold by supplier to the Company. Provide. The Company is unable to sell these goods at retail and has attempted, without success, to return the goods to the supplier. The supplier has refused to take the goods back. Total liability to the Company, if it losses the claim, may reach a maximum of $20,000CDN. Proposed Tax Assessment. Teleplus 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 $474,000CDN and penalties of approximately $168,000CDN. The proposed tax assessment is for $322,000CDN for QST and $320,000CDN for GST. Teleplus believes that certain deductions initially disallowed by the MRQ for the QST are deductible and is in the process of compiling the deductions to present to the MRQ. Teleplus also believes that export sales to the United States of America are exempt from the GST. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," Teleplus makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. No provision for this matter has been accrued. Teleplus reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Dealing with taxing authorities is inherently unpredictable. However, Teleplus believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the proposed tax assessment pending against it. Nevertheless, it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 41 Wrongful Dismissal: A former employee of TelePlus retail Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has instigated a claim in Quebec Superior Court in the amount of $90,000CDN against the Company for wrongful dismissal. The Company doesn't believe the claim to be founded and intends to vigorously contest such claim. The parties are at discovery stages. Other Claims: There is a claim from three individuals in British Columbia for an amount of about $ 147,000 and the issuance of 510,000 shares for which a letter of demand has recently been served on the Company. The Company doesn't believe the claim to be founded and intends to vigorously contest such claim. Teleplus intends to vigorously defend this proposed assessment and other lawsuits and claims against us. However, we cannot predict the outcome of this assessment. An adverse resolution of the assessment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has instigated the following claim against Wal-Mart Canada, corp.: Wal-Mart Canada, Corp. The Company's subsidiary, TelePlus Management, has instigated September 23rd, 2004 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice a USD$2.3 million claim against Wal-Mart Canada Corp. for breach of agreement. Parties are at discovery stages. Operating Leases Teleplus has several non-cancelable operating leases, primarily for office space and storage that expire through December 31, 2009. These leases require Teleplus to pay all operating costs such as maintenance and insurance. Rental expense for the operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $1,018,007 and $657,132, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of December 31, 2004 are: December 31, Amount ----------------- 2005 $ 830,287 2006 604,031 2007 364,075 2008 196,962 2009 123,177 $ 2,118,542 See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 42 NOTE 9 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK - As of December 31, 2004, amounts due from two customers amounted to 99% of total trade accounts receivable. One customer accounted for 28% of total revenues for 2004 and one customer accounted for 19% of total revenues for 2003. NOTE 10 - COMPANY FINANCING On July 12, 2004, TelePlus secured a $11,000,000 financing commitment from Cornell Capital Partners LP.

(formerly HerbalOrganics.com, Inc.) and Lopez, Blevin, Bork & Associates, an independent chartered accountant ("Former Accountant") ceased as the former accountant was dismissed. Lopez, Blevin, Bork & Associates' report dated November 15th 2004, on the Company's consolidated balance sheet of Teleplus Enterprises, Inc. as of September 30, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years then ended, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements, and in the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with Lopez, Blevin, Bork & Associates on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Lopez, Blevin, Bork & Associates would have caused Lopez, Blevin, Bork & Associates to make reference to the matter in their report. The Company has requested Lopez, Blevin, Bork & Associates to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated January 14, 2005 is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K. Mintz & Partners LLP was engaged on January 14, 2005 as the Company's principal accountant to audit the financial statements of the Company.

During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and subsequent to September 30, 2004 through the date hereof, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Mintz & Partners LLP regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, nor has Mintz & Partners LLP provided to the Company a written report or oral advice regarding such principles or audit opinion or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K with the Company's former accountant. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 44 The Company has requested Mintz & Partners LLP review the disclosure in this report on Form 8-K and provided Mintz & Partners LLP the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company's expression of its views, or the respects in which Mintz & Partners LLP does not agree with the statements made by the Company in this report. Mintz & Partners LLP has advised the Company that no such letter need be issued. ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"), has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 is 1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms; and 2) accumulated and communicated to him as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(a) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements of Teleplus Enterprise, Inc, (the "Company"), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 1-QSB and Item 310 ( b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form - 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. Nature of business. The Company is a provider of Wireless and Telecom products and services across North America. TelePlus Connect, Corp. - is a reseller of a variety of Telecom services including landline, long distance and internet services. TelePlus Wireless, Corp. - operates a virtual wireless network selling cellular network access to distributors in the United States. TelePlus Retail Services, Inc. - owns and operates a national chain of TelePlus branded stores in major shopping malls, selling a comprehensive line of wireless and portable communication devices. Teleplus was incorporated in Nevada in January 1999. In October 2003, Visioneer Holdings Group, Inc. ("Visioneer"), subscribed to 18,050,000 and its partners to 4,512,500 newly issued shares of Herbalorganics.com, Inc. ("Herbalorganics") and on that same date Visioneer acquired 23,750,000 shares of Herbalorganics. As a result of the transactions, Visioneer acquired control of Herbalorganics. In connection with the transactions Herbalorganics changed its name to Teleplus Enterprises, Inc. ("Teleplus"). After the above transactions, there were 65,312,500 shares of common stock outstanding. Herbalorganics retained 19,000,000 shares of common stock. In October 2003, Teleplus formed a wholly owned subsidiary Teleplus Retail Services, Inc. ("Retail"), a Quebec, Canada Corporation. Retail acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities from 3577996 Canada, Inc. 3577996 Canada, Inc. is controlled by the shareholders of Visioneer. For accounting purposes, this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Herbalorganics and a recapitalization of 3577996 Canada, Inc. 3577996 Canada, Inc. is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the operations of Herbalorganics were not carried over and were adjusted to $0. In connection with the reverse merger, 3577996 Canada, Inc. acquired $11,327 in cash and assumed $700 in liabilities. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the company has a working capital deficit of $2,672,333 because accrued acquisition obligations of $1,646,987 have been classified as current liabilities. However $ 359,000 of the accrued acquisition obligation will be settled by the issuance of common stock. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teleplus' wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include highly liquid, temporary cash investments having original maturity dates of three months or less. Inventories Inventories consist of wireless and telephony products and related accessories and are stated at the lower of cost, determined by average cost method, or market. Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment (three to seven years). The majority of Teleplus' long-lived assets are located in Canada. Teleplus performs reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Acquisitions and Business Combinations The Company accounts for acquisitions and business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. The Company includes the results of operations of the acquired business from the acquisition date. Net assets of the companies acquired are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired are included in intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Assets The Company regularly reviews all of its long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company's overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. When management determines that an impairment review is necessary based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. Significant judgments is required in the development of projected cash flows for these purposes including assumptions regarding the appropriate level of aggregation of cash flows, their term and discount rate as well as the underlying forecasts of expected future revenue and expense. To the extent that events or circumstances cause assumptions to change, charges may be required which could be material. The Company adopted SFAS No 142,"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under prescribed conditions) for impairment in accordance with this statement. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for an amount equal to that excess. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Revenue Recognition Teleplus' revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless, telephony products and accessories to end users. Teleplus recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Teleplus recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, Teleplus provides for the estimated cost of product warranties and reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The company receives co-operation advertising revenue from the telephone suppliers based on certain requirements to spend the available co-op advertising allotment. Any amount received under their program is deducted from advertising expense. Teleplus' suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by Teleplus and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to Teleplus by its customers. Teleplus does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier. Teleplus also 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 revenue is recognized when the customer receives the service. Income Taxes The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Teleplus records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Foreign Currency Translation The Canadian dollar is the functional currency of Teleplus. Transactions in foreign currency are translated at rates of exchange rates ruling at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income within stockholders' equity. Basic and Diluted Net Income (loss) per Share Net income (loss) per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share includes the potentially diluted effect of outstanding common stock options and warrants which are convertible to common shares. Diluted net loss per share has not been provided as the effect would be anti - dilutive. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments and the variable nature of any underlying interest rates. The rates of fixed obligations approximate the rates of the variable obligations. Therefore, the fair value of these loans has been estimated to be approximately equal to their carrying value. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject Teleplus to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable. Teleplus maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions as determined by Teleplus' 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 Teleplus maintains a broad customer base. Deferred Financing Fees Deferred financing fees represents fees paid in connection with the issue of a convertible debt that runs for a period of 36 months and a promissory note that runs for 18 months. The deferred financing fees will be amortized over the terms of the respective debts. The Company incurred $ 140,321 in amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Boards ( " FASB") issued Statements No. 123 (R), Share - Based Payments which will require compensation costs related to share based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. As permitted by the predecessor Statement No. 123, we do not recognize compensation expense with respect to stock options we have issued because the option price was no greater than the market price at the time the option was issued. Statement 123(R) will be effective for us in our fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2006. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact of Adopting Statements 123 (R). In November 2004, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") consensus on Issue 03 -13, "Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB STATEMENT NO 144, "Accounting for the impairment or Disposal of Long - Lived ASSETS," in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations, which is effective for us at the beginning of fiscal 2005. The adoption of the new pronouncements will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. In November 2004 , the FASB issued Statement No. 151 Inventory costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges , and that fixed production overheads should be allocated to inventory based on normal capacity of production facilities. Statement No. 151 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006, and its adoption will not have a material impact on our financial position or Results of operations. In May 2005 , the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 " Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("SFAS No. 154") which supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, " Accounting Changes" and SFAS No 3 " Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements". SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of changes in accounting principle. The statement requires the retroactive application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period specific effects or the cumulative effects of the change. SFAS No. 154 does not change the guidance for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial Statements or the change in accounting estimate .SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and Corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The company does not believe SFAS No. 154 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The company incurred an increase in gross margin from the new acquisitions which was offset by lower gross margins in the retail division thereby resulting in the same gross margin percentage of 30% from the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004. General, administrative ("G&A") expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased to $1,930,157 as compared to $1,158,610 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The increase in G&A was due mainly to the recently completed acquisitions. The Company had a net loss of $198,695 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, as compared to a net loss of $222,986 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in net loss is due mainly to the increase in operating income from the newly acquired companies offset by an increase in the Company's depreciation, interest, and amortization expense of intangible assets. The total increase in these expenses was $225,020 reaching $282,572 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $57,552 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004. Sales revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 reached $13,224,631 as compared to $8,184,034 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This represents a 62% increase over the previous year. The increase in sales was due mainly to the revenues captured from companies recently acquired and same store retail sales versus the previous year. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 reached $9,236,964 as compared to $6,011,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This represents a 54% increase over the previous year. The increase in cost of revenues was due to the increase in overall sales. Gross profit as a percentage of sales ("gross profit margin") for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was 30% as compared to 27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in gross profit margin is mainly due to increased gross margin from the companies acquired during the year. General, administrative ("G&A") expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 reached $4,811,239 as compared to $2,857,577 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in G&A was due mainly to the recently completed acquisitions and financing costs. The Company had a net loss of $1,524,545 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to a net loss of $836,472 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in net loss is due mainly to the non recurring costs associated with (a) an inventory write-down, (b) additional financing and acquisition costs, (c) costs associated with the consolidation of the retail division, and (e) increase in the Company's depreciation and amortization expense of intangible assets. The total increase in these expenses was $549,024 reaching $700,973 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $151,949 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,283,675. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: As of September 30, 2005, total current assets were $4,354,547 which consisted of $1,032,746 of cash, $2,164,487 of accounts receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, $505,463 of inventories, and $651,851 of prepaid expenses. As of September 30, 2005, total current liabilities were $7,026,880 which consisted of $3,255,648 of accounts payable, $1,268,124 of accrued expenses and $1,646,987 of accrued acquisition obligations, $318,400 of a note payable on acquisitions and $537,721 of unearned revenue. The Company had negative net working capital at September 30, 2005 of $2,672,333. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 62%. The Company had a net increase in cash of $649,433 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to a net increase in cash of $212,369 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The net cash increase consisted of a net increase in cash of $810,843 from acquisitions offset by a net decrease of $161,410 from the company's business activities. Cash flows from financing activities and operations represented the Company's principal source of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Cash flows from financing activities during the nine months period ended September 30, 2005 were $4,817,555 which came from promissory notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company received proceeds of $ 1,260,387 from the issuance of common stock and convertible debenture. During the nine months period ended September 30, 2005, the Company had $294,570 cash provided from operating activities as compared to the nine months period ended September 30, 2004, where the Company had $710,061 cash used in operating activities. The cash provided from operating activities for the nine months period ended September 30, 2005 was due to accounts receivables that decreased by $416,178, inventories that decreased by $574,561, other assets that decreased by $30,028, accounts payable that increased by $136,187, notes payable on acquisitions that increased by $318,400, and unearned revenue that increased by $138,491, which were offset by prepaid expenses that increased by $218,067 and accrued expenses that decreased by $48,258. The cash used by operating activities for the nine months period ended September 30, 2004 was due to accounts receivable that decreased by $570,373, inventories that decreased by $180,326, which were offset by prepaid expenses that increased by $64,545, other assets that increased by 110,341, accounts payable that decreased by $500,130 and accrued expenses that decreased by 101,222. Capital expenditures were $125,376 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $185,194 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2004. Cash used for acquisition of business totaled $5,135,187 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $ 125,185 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2004. RISK FACTORS Management Recognizes That We Must Raise Additional Financing To Fund Our Ongoing Operations And Implement Our Business Plan. The Company requires additional capital to support strategic acquisitions and its current expansion plans. The Company currently has in place a revolving credit facility with a third party. Such facility provides the Company access with up to $35M in financing based on the Company's needs and subject to certain conditions. Should the Company not be able to draw down on such credit facility as required this may require the Company to delay, curtail or scale back some or all of its expansion plans. Any additional financing may involve dilution to the Company's then-existing shareholders. We Are Currently Involved In Legal Proceedings With The Minister Of Revenue Of Quebec, Canada, The Outcome Of Which Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Financial Position. 3577996 Canada Inc. a company that TelePlus retail Services, Inc. acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities from is involved in legal proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec. The Minister of Revenue of Quebec has proposed a tax assessment of approximately $474,000CDN and penalties of approximately $168,000CDN. The proposed tax assessment is for $322,000CDN for Quebec Sales Tax and $320,000CDN for Goods and Services Tax. 3577996 believes that certain deductions initially disallowed by the Minister of Revenue of Quebec for the Quebec Sales Tax are deductible and we are in the process of compiling the deductions for the Minister of Revenue of Quebec. It is possible that the outcome of these proceedings could have a material adverse affect on our cash flows or our results of operations, Our Inability To Secure Competitive Pricing Arrangements In A Market Dominated By Larger Retailers With Higher Financial Resources Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Operations. Profit margins in the wireless and communication industry are low. Our larger competitors, who have more resources, have the ability to reduce their prices significantly lower than current prices. This would further reduce our profit margins. Should such an event occur and management chose not to offer competitive prices, we could lose our market share. If we chose to compete, the reduction in profit margins could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. We Have Historically Lost Money And Losses May Continue In The Future, Which May Cause Us To Curtail Operations. Since 2003 we have not been profitable and have lost money on both a cash and overall basis. For the quarter ended September 30, 2005 we incurred a net loss of $1,524,545 and our accumulated deficit was $3,283,675 as compared to a net loss of $836,472 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and our accumulated deficit was $1,521,632. Future losses are likely to occur, as we are dependent on spending money to pay for our operations. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity and cash flow problems. If our losses continue, our ability to operate may be severely impacted. We Are Subject To A Working Capital Deficit, Which Means That Our Current Assets September 30, 2005, Were Not Sufficient To Satisfy Our Current Liabilities And, Therefore, Our Ability To Continue Operations could be at Risk. We had a working capital deficit of $2,674,333 at September 30, 2005 which means that our current liabilities exceeded our current assets on September 30, 2005 by $2,672,333. Current assets are assets that are expected to be converted to cash within one year and, therefore, may be used to pay current liabilities as they become due. Our working capital deficit means that our current assets on September 30, 2005 were not sufficient to satisfy all of our current liabilities on those dates. If our ongoing operations do not begin to provide sufficient profitability to offset the working capital deficit, we may have to raise additional capital or debt to fund the deficit or curtail future operations. Our Obligations Under The Secured Convertible Debentures Are Secured By All of Our Assets. Our obligations under the secured convertible debentures, issued to Cornell Capital Partners are secured by all of our assets. As a result, if we default under the terms of the secured convertible debentures, Cornell Capital Partners could foreclose its security interest and liquidate all of our assets. This would cease operations. Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume And May Fluctuate Significantly, Which May Affect Our Shareholders' Ability To Sell Shares Of Our Common Stock. Prior to this filing, there has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market for our common stock will develop. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market from time to time in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our stock will be stable or appreciate over time. The factors may negatively impact shareholders' ability to sell shares of our common stock. Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be "Penny Stock," Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements. Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, AS AMENDED. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock: |X| With a price of less than $5.00 per share; |X| That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; |X| Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or |X| In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years. |X| Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. We Could Fail To Attract Or Retain Key Personnel, Which Could Be Detrimental To Our Operations. Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of key executives, including Marius Silvasan, our Chief Executive Officer, Robert Krebs, our Chief Financial Officer, Kelly McLaren, our Chief Operating Officer, Jeanne Chan, our Vice President of Procurement and Operations. The loss of the services of any of the foregoing persons could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to find their successor. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain key-man life insurance policies on any of the foregoing persons. We also have other key employees who manage our operations and if we were to lose their services, senior management would be required to expend time and energy to find and train their replacements. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources we may not be able to attract the sufficient number and quality of staff. We Are Subject to Price Volatility Due to Our Operations Materially Fluctuating. As a result of the evolving nature of the markets in which we compete, as well as the current nature of the public markets and our current financial condition, we believe that our operating results may fluctuate materially, as a result of which quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful. If in some future quarter, whether as a result of such a fluctuation or otherwise, our results of operations fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. You should not rely on our results of any interim period as an indication of our future performance. Additionally, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may cause our quarterly results to fluctuate include, among others: |X| our ability to retain existing clients and customers; |X| our ability to attract new clients and customers at a steady rate; |X| our ability to maintain client satisfaction; |X| the extent to which our products gain market acceptance; |X| the timing and size of client and customer purchases; |X| introductions of products and services by competitors; |X| price competition in the markets in which we compete; |X| our ability to attract, train, and retain skilled management, |X| the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure; and |X| general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the wireless and portable communication device industry. We May Not Be Able To Compete Effectively In Markets Where Our Competitors Have More Resources. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, longer relationships with clients, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and public relations resources than TelePlus. Based on total assets and annual revenues, we are significantly smaller than many of our competitors. Similarly, we compete against significantly larger and better-financed companies in our business. We may not successfully compete in any market in which we conduct business currently or in the future. The fact that we compete with established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories than us, enables them to engage in more substantial advertising and promotion and attract a greater number of customers and business than we currently attract. While this competition is already intense, if it increases, it could have an even greater adverse impact on our revenues and profitability. Our Limited Operating History In Our Industry Makes It Difficult To Forecast Our Future Results. As a result of our limited operating history, our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations. If We Do Not Successfully Establish Strong Brand Identity In The Markets We Are Currently Serving, We May Be Unable To Achieve Widespread Acceptance Of Our Products. We believe that establishing and strengthening our products is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our future products and to establishing key strategic relationships. The importance of brand recognition will increase as current and potential competitors enter the market with competing products. Our ability to promote and position our brand depends largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to provide high quality products and customer support. These activities are expensive and we may not generate a corresponding increase in customers or revenue to justify these costs. If we fail to establish and maintain our brand, or if our brand value is damaged or diluted, we may be unable to attract new customers and compete effectively. Future Acquisitions May Disrupt Our Business And Deplete Our Financial Resources. Any future acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition. We intend to consider investments in complementary companies, products and technologies. While we have no current agreements to do so, we anticipate buying businesses, products and/or technologies in the future in order to fully implement our business strategy. In the event of any future acquisitions, we may: |X| issue stock that would dilute our current stockholders' percentage ownership; |X| incur debt; |X| assume liabilities; |X| incur amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets; or |X| incur large and immediate write-offs. The use of debt or leverage to finance our future acquisitions should allow us to make acquisitions with an amount of cash in excess of what may be currently available to us. If we use debt to leverage up our assets, we may not be able to meet our debt obligations if our internal projections are incorrect or if there is a market downturn. This may result in a default and the loss in foreclosure proceedings of the acquired business or the possible bankruptcy of our business. Our operation of any acquired business will also involve numerous risks, including: |X| integration of the operations of the acquired business and its technologies or products; |X| unanticipated costs; |X| diversion of management's attention from our core business; |X| adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; |X| risks associated with entering markets in which we have limited prior experience; and |X| potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the purchased organizations. If We Are Unable To Respond To The Rapid Changes In Technology And Services Which Characterize Our Industry, Our Business And Financial Condition Could Be Negatively Affected. Our business is directly impacted by changes in the wireless communications industry. The wireless communication products and services industry is subject to rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. Changes in technology could affect the market for our products, accelerate the obsolescence of our inventory and necessitate changes to our product line. We believe that our future success will depend largely on our ability to anticipate or adapt to such changes, to offer on a timely basis, services and products that meet these evolving standards and demand of our customers, and our ability to manage and maximize our product inventory and minimize our inventory of older and obsolete products. We also believe that our future success will depend upon how successfully our wireless carrier service providers and product vendors are able to respond to the rapidly changing technologies and products. New wireless communications technology, including personal communication services and voice communication over the internet may reduce demand for the wireless communication devices and services we currently are able to offer through our wireless carrier service providers. We cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to respond successfully to these or other technological changes, or to new products and services offered by our current and future competitors, and cannot predict whether we will encounter delays or problems in these areas, which could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We Rely In Large Part On Wireless Telecommunications Carriers With Whom We Have Business Arrangements. Our Success Depends On Our Ability To Meet Our Obligations To Those Carriers And The Abilities Of Our Wireless Telecommunication Carriers And Vendors. We depend on a small number of wireless telecommunications carriers and product manufacturers to provide our retail customers with wireless services and communication devices. Currently, approximately 90% of our wireless products and services accounts are dependant upon arrangements with Telus Mobility and Microcell. Such agreements may be terminated upon thirty days prior to written notice. Failure to maintain continuous relationships with these and other wireless communications carriers and product manufacturers would materially and adversely affect our business, including possibly requiring us to significantly curtail or cease our operations. Additionally, wireless telecommunications carriers may sometimes experience equipment failures and service interruptions, which could, if frequent, adversely affect customer confidence, our business operations and our reputation. Limited Duration of Agreements in Place with Major Wireless Carriers. The Company's current sales volumes have enabled the Company to build strong relationships with a variety of wireless and communication partners thus, minimizing the risks associated with the non-renewal of any of the Company's agreements. No Product Exclusivity. The current market consolidation undertaken by the major wireless carriers limit the Company's risk associated with no product exclusivity as new retail players can't readily get access to the products and services offered by the Company. Price Erosion. The Company is faced with high price elasticity resulting in the erosion of its margin on certain products. Price wars oftentimes occur in the industry which have a negative impact on profit margins. Issuance of a large number of wireless licenses increasing the number of competitors. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivable, investment values, income taxes, the recapitalization and contingencies. We base our estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements: Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment (three to seven years). The majority of Teleplus' long-lived assets are located in Canada. Teleplus performs reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Revenue Recognition Teleplus' revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless, telephony products and accessories to end users. Teleplus recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Teleplus recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, Teleplus provides for the estimated cost of product warranties and reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Teleplus' suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by Teleplus and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to Teleplus by its customers. Teleplus does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier. Teleplus also 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 revenue is recognized when the customer receives the service. Inventories Inventories consist of wireless and telephony products and related accessories and are stated at the lower of cost, determined by average cost method, or market. Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Assets The Company regularly reviews all of its long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the company's overall business, and significant negative inventory trends. When management determines that an impairment review is necessary based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. Significant judgments is required in the development of projected cash flows for these purposes including assumptions regarding the appropriate level of aggregation of cash flows, their term, and discount rate as well as the underlying forecasts of expected future revenue and expenses. To the extent that events or circumstances cause assumptions to change, charges may be required which could be material. The Company adopted SFAS No 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite - lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under prescribed conditions) for impairment in accordance with this statement. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's Goodwill or indefinite - lived intangible assets exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for an amount equal to that excess. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized over the useful lives. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"), has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 is 1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms; and 2) accumulated and communicated to him as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.. (b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The following proceedings have been instigated against the Company. The Company does not believe that the following legal proceedings would have a materially adverse impact on the Company's business or its results of operations, nevertheless such proceedings are disclosed. Goods and Services. TelePlus is currently defending an action instigated against it by one of its suppliers. Such supplier claims that the Company defaulted on the payment of goods sold by supplier to the Company. The Company claims that it failed to pay the goods sold by supplier because such goods were purchased contingent on supplier making available to the Company wireless network access which supplier failed to provide. The Company is unable to sell these goods at retail and has attempted, without success, to return the goods to the supplier. The supplier has refused to take the goods back. Total liability to the Company, if it loses the claim, may reach a maximum of $20,000. Proposed Tax Assessment. Teleplus is involved in proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec ("MRQ"). The MRQ has proposed an assessment of for the Goods and Services Tax ("GST") and Quebec Sales Tax ("QST") of approximately CDN$474,000 and penalties of approximately CDN$168,000. The proposed tax assessment is for CDN$322,000 for QST and CDN$320,000 for GST. Teleplus 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. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Wrongful Dismissal: A former employee of TelePlus retail Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has instigated a claim in Quebec Superior Court in the amount of $90,000 against the Company for wrongful dismissal. The Company doesn't believe the claim to be founded and intends to vigorously contest such claim. The parties are at discovery stages Finder Fee: This action was brought by Howard Salamon d/b/a "Salamon Brothers", seeking the sum of $200,000 as a finder's fee for introducing TelePlus Enterprises, Inc. (TelePlus) to a source of capital. Salamon claims 10% of the total amount of financing received from Cornell Capital Partners, LP. TelePlus has answered the Complaint and alleged several affirmative defenses including the illegality of the alleged "finder's fee agreement" on the grounds that Salamon is not a registered broker/dealer with either the NASD or SEC and under well settled law cannot therefore enforce the finder's fee agreement. Cornell has moved to intervene in the action and opposes Salamon's claim asserting tortuous interference with a contract as well as seeking a declaratory judgment. Salamon has made a motion for an attachment of Cornell's funds which has been opposed by both Cornell and TelePlus and is on for a hearing before Judge Walls in Newark Federal District Court on August 9, 2005. At such hearing Salamon's motion for an attachment of Cornell's funds was denied by the court in full by Judge Walls. The Company has instigated the following claim against Wal-Mart Canada, corp.: Wal-Mart Canada, Corp. The Company's subsidiary, TelePlus Management, has instigated September 23rd, 2004 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice a USD$2.3 million claim against Wal-Mart Canada Corp. for breach of agreement. Parties are at discovery stages. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES During the third quarter, 2005 we issued 1,783,633 common shares to Cornell Capital Partners ("Cornell") in connection with the conversion of convertible debentures. During the third quarter, 2005 we issued 1,647,617 common shares to Cornell Capital Partners ("Cornell") On July 15th, 2005 we issued 2,500,000 shares to Cornell Capital Partners ("Cornell") as a fee under the Standby Equity Distribution agreement signed that same day. August 19th, 2005, the Company issued 60,000 common shares to its directors as payment of director fees. September 29th, 2005, the Company issued 70,000 common shares to its directors as payments of director fees. ITEM 3. DEFAULT UPON SENIOR SECURITIES None ITEM 4.
