This was posted on Monday May 2, 2005. At this point I (personally) would not rate TLPE as a buy since I (personally) believe it will go below 0.2 even with all the good news. I believe the next few months will be a little shaky, but by the end of this year this thing will turn around since the company should be reporting positive EBITDA and profits! This is no pump and dump, nor a short-term play, but a great long-term investment. The company is now ahead of its long-term plan with a real experienced management that has enabled Teleplus to become a serious competitor in the fastest growing industry in history! Do your DD and you will realize that TLPE should be a great investment in an industry that has such amazing potential. Not to mention TLPE’s chart with an all-time high of over $4!! Good luck and good trading.

Three More Acqusitions To Bring $18.5 Million In Revenue and $2.8 Million In EBITDA
TelePlus announced three other acquisitions in the last 90 days, which are to be integrated to its TelePlus Connect subsidiary. These acquisitions are expected to increase TelePlus' revenues by $18.5 million and contribute in excess of $2.8 million to its EBITDA.
"We are very pleased with the performance of our Prepaid Telecom business in April. EBITDA results are higher than our original expectations. Some cost reductions that were implemented immediately following closing of the Freedom acquisition resulted in immediate margin improvements," stated Marius Silvasan, CEO of TelePlus Enterprises. We are diligently working on the completion of the due diligence of our other pending acquisitions in this space and anticipate reporting positive announcements to our shareholders in the short term," added Silvasan.

The CEO answeres a few questions that many of us having been wondering:
Dear TelePlus Shareholders,
Mr. Silvasan has taken the time to answer a sampling of questions that have been posted on this site.
How much stock was issued for the Freedom purchase?
964,706 shares were issued to the Freedom shareholders. All shares are “restricted” pursuant to rule 144 of the SEC.
Can you explain all this good news we have been hearing and the price of the stock keeps going down?
We are experiencing short term market inefficiencies which should correct itself over time.
Is TelePlus positioning itself to be a takeover target?
No
Will you consider a stock buy back to prop up share price?
Our strategy is continuing execution of our Business Plan notwithstanding short term inefficiencies in the price of our shares. Management responsibility is to create long term value for shareholders which will be reflected overtime in the value of our shares.
