PART I

Item 1. Business.

Telecommunication Products, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Colorado on June 8, 1983, and successfully completed an initial public offering of its common stock on March 20, 1984. It is engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of specialized communication equipment. Most recently, the Company has employed two persons, with an additional two people available as contract labor as needed. As the Company has had no sales of its products in the past five years, it has recently concentrated operations on finding a merger candidate with products or services with the potential of generating revenue for continuing operations; a merger agreement has been signed by the directors, subject to shareholder approval, on June 25, 2001, as more fully described in the 8-K filed on June 27, 2001.

Products

Model 9100 Infrared Laser Communication Link. The Model 9100 has been designed to permit the transmission of up to 2.048 million bits per second of asynchronous data for up to 6km. The Model 9100-2B is an upgrade of the Model 9100-2 system. The Model 9100-2B has a peak optical power output of 2.4 watts. The Model 9100-2 previously manufactured and sold by TELPRO had a peak power input to the transmitter laser diode of 1.0 watt. The previously-offered Model 9100-2 system was offered for applications of up to 2.5 miles. The Model 9100-2B infrared laser communication link has an upgrade system gain of 7 db which is anticipated to increase the "line of sight" path distance capabilities to approximately 5 miles. In order to improve the reliability of the Model 9100-2B, this system was designed to operate from an uninterruptable 48vdc power source or an uninterruptable 115/230vac - 50/60hz primary power source. This system was marketed as an alternative to microwave or fiber optics communication systems in specific applications. There is no requirement to obtain property easements for burial of fiber or other type cable. The upgraded Model 9100-2B infrared laser system capable of 2.048 mbps was designed to compete with 18 ghz microwave operating with a T1 (1.544 mbps) data transmission capability. The specific market target was for microcell interconnection of cellular or PCS networks. It was anticipated the availability of FCC licensing for 18 and 23 ghz microwave frequencies space will become more difficult due to the frequency congestion in metropolitan areas. There is no requirement for FCC licensing for infrared laser communication links.

The Model 9100 was tested by the Company in a variety of conditions (-40 to +140 degrees F, and winds up to 86 mph), with a bit error rate in unfaded weather conditions of approximately 10-11, which translates to error-free transmission during 99.9985% of running time, compared with microwave transmission which averages only 85% of running time error-free. The results of these propagation studies were published in electronic trade journals and presented at trade shows. Although there have been no sales of this product in over five years, former customers for this product ranged from government and governmental agencies to private industry and foreign corporations, with systems sold to customers in Mexico, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Korea, in addition to the U.S. The Model 9100 was designed to be versatile, and can be adapted for specialized applications, such as the transmission of video signals. This product can also interface with both digital fiber optic and digital microwave systems. There have been no sales of the Model 9100 since fiscal 1995.

The company has been working on an upgrade of a TELPRO atmospheric laser communication link to directly interface with fiber optic communication systems operating at OC-3 (155 mbps) protocol, which would be compatible with large telecommunication company fiber optic systems.

Model 1001 Series Converter. This product had an established sales record for the Company, but had a small specialized travel agency market, and in fact contributed nothing to revenues in the last three fiscal years. As a result, this product has not been offered by TELPRO for a number of years.

Other Products and Services. In the event a prospective customer has particular needs for telecommunications or similarly related technology equipment, the Company from time to time will specially design and manufacture a made-to-order device. There have been no sales of products or services in this category since fiscal 1995.

Sales, Markets, and Competition

The Company previously sold its products through Mr. Ranniger and outside sales representatives. As there have been no sales of the Company's products in the past five years, these arrangements are all inactive and deemed concluded. The Company operates solely out of its Golden, Colorado address, and all information regarding assets and operating profit and loss is addressed in the accompanying financial statements. As of March 31, 2001 and the date of this report, the Company has no material backlog of orders.

The Company has had no sales revenues for the past five fiscal years. Therefore, it has had no sales to unaffiliated customers during the past three fiscal years, nor has it had sales in excess of 10% to any individual customers over the past three-year period. The Company's revenues depend on its ability to establish or expand its client base, or to accomplish a merger with a potentially profitable candidate.

The Company sought to compete generally with a number of other manufacturers of telecommunications equipment. System design and engineering, and component technical features were the principal methods of competition. As the Company has had no sales of its products in the past five years, it has recently concentrated operations on finding a merger candidate with products or services which might generate revenue.

Miscellaneous

As is customary in the telecommunications industry, the Company produces its products from readily available components purchased from a variety of manufacturers. Printed circuit boards and housings were contracted for manufacture according to Company specifications from among many available suppliers. The business of the Company is not seasonal. The Company maintains no special arrangements relating to working capital items, and as far as it is aware this is standard in the industry. Due to damage and attrition associated with the move from the Company' former laboratory and offices, as well as the age and obsolescence of certain parts and components, it is the opinion of management that the value of inventories are significantly less than the value reflected on the books of the Company. Accordingly, an adjustment of $92,109 was made to write down inventories as of April 1, 1999. A corresponding entry was made to reduce previously reported retained earnings by $92,109. The Company is not subject to environmental protection regulations during the foreseeable future. The Company has spent nothing on research and development in the last three fiscal years. Patents have not appeared to be important to the industry, and as of December 1990 the Company's patent expired. None of the Company's present business is subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the government.

Item 2. Properties.

The building in which the Company was renting its office space has been sold, and the Company presently has no physical location for its offices. The Company currently has a mailing address of Post Office Box 17013, Golden, Colorado, 80302.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

The Company's common stock is traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board market. The Company has not had any revenues which could be used to pay for official quarterly bid/ask figures from the National Quotation Bureau since fiscal year ended 3/31/96; however, the high and low bid/ask quotations over the past three fiscal years have ranged from 0/not trading to $0.17 (on 6/27/2000). This range reflects inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

As of March 31, 2001, there were approximately 378 record holders of the Company's Common Stock. The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that all earnings will be retained for development of the Company's business.

The underwriter for the initial public offering, Norbay Securities, Inc., of Bayside, New York, is no longer in business. The Company is unaware as to whether a market is still being made in the Company's stock by any brokerage firms.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management provides the following forward-looking information to the best of its information and belief as of the time of signing, with no assurance as to eventual outcome.

Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition

The Company had significant other income in the previous fiscal year, although none of this income was from sales revenues. This income included payment of $75,000 made pursuant to a letter of intent agreement entered into with a merger candidate, which required shareholder approval by proxy vote prior to consummation of the transaction, and which transaction also provided for a reverse split of present shareholders' stock and divestiture of present operations, inter alia. The merger candidate raised an entity status issue, disclosed prior to signing of the letter of intent, which the Company has hired outside counsel to resolve. That letter of intent has been fully released, and the Company retained the $75,000 pursuant to agreement of the parties.

As the Company has had no sales of its products in the past five years, it has recently concentrated operations on finding a merger candidate with products or services which might generate revenue for continuing operations; a merger agreement has been signed by the directors, subject to shareholder approval, on June 25, 2001, as more fully described in the 8-K filed on June 27, 2001.

There was a net loss this year, and overall there is a significant accumulated deficit which has eroded stockholders' equity. As no sales are presently pending, such attrition was projected to continue through fiscal 2002. The Company had talks with EchoStar during the third quarter of the past fiscal year about a potential sale to that entity of one Model 9100 system; however, EchoStar's needs changed so that a sale is not now presently contemplated. In light of the fact that the Company has not has sales revenues for the past five years, management believes that the Company's best prospects are in pursuing a merger with another company.

Since its liquidity was enhanced in fiscal 1984 by a limited offering of the Company's securities in August, 1983 for net proceeds of $218,055, and an initial public offering of its common stock for net proceeds of $493,394 on March 20, 1984, the Company's liquidity has declined due to the initial expenditures required for research and development, and the time involved in securing a market for the Company's products. There are no present or planned commitments for material capital expenditures, and the Company presently has no material unused sources of liquid assets.

Due to the losses sustained by the Company during its development stage and over the intervening years, the Company's ability to remain a going concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and to continue to increase its product sales, or alternatively to pursue a merger arrangement with an appropriate candidate. Even though the Company has previously been unable to obtain outside conventional financing, it has been able to continue as a going concern due to loans it has received from officers, in addition to those officers deferring their respective salaries since January 1987.

Results of Operations

The Company had no sales revenues again this year. As the Company has had no sales of its products in the past five years, it has recently concentrated operations on finding a merger candidate with products or services which might generate revenue for continuing operations; a merger agreement has been signed by the directors, subject to shareholder approval, on June 25, 2001, as more fully described in the 8-K filed on June 27, 2001.

The Company was previously working to upgrade its Model 9100 system with a new diode which would increase the transmission power of the system from 1 watt power input to 1.2 and 2.4 optical power output, thereby increasing the transmission range to over two miles in normal atmospheric conditions. However, the new technology has made the present work in process inventory obsolete, and no monies have been available to start constructing the upgraded systems at this point.

In addition, the Company was working to upgrade the data rate transmission capabilities of the Model 9100. Presently, the Model 9100-2 is capable of transmitting communication formats of DS-0 (64 kbps), DS-1 (1.544 mbps), and the European standard CEPT HDB-3 (2.048 mbps). Upgrades would allow transmission of additional data rates of OC-1 (51.84 mbps) and OC-2 (155.520 mbps). The present plans to accomplish these upgrades would utilize the same castings, optics, mounts, and most other hardware, therefore reducing the cost of the new design while greatly enhancing system features. Again, no work in process has been started to accommodate these upgrades.

Other than the above, the Company does not expect any material changes in the mix and relative cost of resources. Raw materials were previously augmented in the anticipation of potential future demand in Asia. As of year end, there were no finished goods in inventory. Inflation has had no material effect on the Company's operations over the last three fiscal years.

The Company's only full time employees, Don and Clara Ranniger, had elected to defer their salaries since January of 1987 through the date of this 10-K in order to help the Company's cash flow; a resolution of that wage claim is presently addressed in the proposed merger agreement.

Besides pursuing a merger with a potentially profitable candidate, fiscal 2002 operations will continue to concentrate efforts on increasing sales and production of the Model 9100. However, due to varying economic conditions in the domestic and world-wide markets for this product, and based on the fact that the Company has had no sales revenues in the past five years, it is unlikely that the Company will any significant sales in 2001, thereby increasing the loss and financial risk factors.

He is a member of the National Society of Professional Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He expects to devote only so much of his time to the business activities of the Company as may be necessary. It is contemplated that he may act as a contract consultant to the Company from time to time, on product safety and liability prevention matters. The terms of any such consulting arrangement have not been determined.

Donald E. Ranniger, Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, and Treasurer since June 8, 1983, is employed by the Company full time. He has been president and co-owner of Ranniger Systems, Inc., an affiliate of the Company, since July 1981. Since 1969, Ranniger Systems, Inc. and its predecessor, a sole proprietorship, have engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of specialized communication equipment, including infrared voice and data communication links, current converters, and digital/voice response systems. They have also engaged in a manufacturer's representative business. The design and manufacturing portion of their operations was transferred to the Company on June 8, 1983. From July 1959 to March 1963, and again from June 1966 to April 1969, he was a major accounts manager for General Electric Co., where he was responsible for sales of microwave and data processing equipment in a five-state area. He was a district sales manager for Raytheon Co. from March 1963 to June 1966. Mr. Ranniger was employed from October 1955 to July 1959 by Collins Radio Co. as a field project engineer.

Clara H. Ranniger, Vice President, Secretary, and a director since June 8, 1983, has been vice president and co-owner of Ranniger Systems, Inc., an affiliate of the Company, since July 1981. Her responsibilities with Ranniger Systems, Inc. included the preparation of bids for government contracts and maintaining the books and records of the corporation. She was associated with Mr. Ranniger in the operations of its predecessor, a sole proprietorship, from August 1974 to July 1981. Mrs. Ranniger is employed by the Company full time, and handles all administrative work for the Company, including purchasing, day-to-day accounting, quality control documentation, inventory, customer and shareholder relations.

The Board of Directors has a standing audit committee consisting of Clara H. Ranniger and Harry D. Thompson, both of whom are directors. Functions of the audit committee are: engagement or discharge of auditors; prior approval of each professional service provided by the auditors; determining fees; reviewing the audit plan; reviewing internal accounting controls; reviewing the adequacy of financial and accounting personnel; reviewing the results of the audit; and reviewing financial information and press releases concerning financial matters prior to dissemination. The audit committee meets periodically to review the financial statements of the Company, as evidenced by the minutes of such meetings in the Company minute book.

The Board of Directors has a standing nominating committee consisting of Messrs. Ranniger, Pethe, Thompson, and Mrs. Ranniger. The functions of the committee are to propose nominees for positions on the Board of Directors and to monitor the procedures set forth in the Articles of Incorporation for nominations. These procedures provide, in relevant part, that nominations for the election of directors by shareholders will be considered if they are submitted in writing not less than 14 days nor more than 50 days prior to any annual meeting of shareholders. The written notice must contain specific information about the nominee as required by the Articles of Incorporation.

There is no compensation committee; similar functions are performed by the Board of Directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Board of Directors Telecommunication Products, Inc.

I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Telecommunication Products, Inc. as of March 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above represent fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Telecommunication Products, Inc. as of March 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TELECOMMUNICATION PRODUCTS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDING MARCH 31, 2001 AND 2000

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization - Telecommunication Products, Inc. (Company) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on June 8, 1983, to design, manufacture and market specialized communication equipment.

Going-Concern Basis - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, during the year ended March 31, 2001, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,420,897 and a net stockholders' deficiency of $687,129. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. Management is of the opinion that enhanced marketing efforts will enable the Company to increase revenues sufficiently to sustain operations.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower or cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation - Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. All property and equipment has been fully depreciated and an adjustment has been made removing the cost of property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation; the net effect on operations is zero (0).

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when products are delivered and accepted by customers.

Other Income - Other income includes payment made pursuant to a letter of intent which has since been released (and, pursuant to the release, the monies have remained with the Company), as well as accrued expenses and accounts payable which were not incurred or were forgiven by the creditor.

Warranty Reserve - The Company grants a one-year warranty on parts and labor for all of its products. The Company has historically experienced minimal warranty claims.

Net Loss Per Common Share - Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

One of the Company's directors provides accounting services to the Company. Expenses for such services were $960, $0, and $0 for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

Certain officers/stockholders of the Company elected to defer their salaries beginning the first quarter of calendar year 1987 in order to help the Company's cash flow. Unpaid compensation expenses of $49,200 annually were incurred in each of the three years in the periods ending March 31, 2001 and as of March 31, 2001 and 2000, unpaid compensation to officers/stockholders totaled $701,100 and $651,900 respectively.

Long-term debt - officers/stockholders - Long term debt represents an unsecured note payable with interest at 0%. During the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, interest expense of $ 0, $ 0, and $ 0, respectively, was incurred on the note and, at March 31, 2001 and 2000, accrued interest of $0 and $12,909 was payable.

3. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT, WRITE DOWN OF INVENTORY

Due to damage and attrition associated with the move from the Company' former laboratory and offices, as well as the age and obsolescence of certain parts and components, it is the opinion of management that the value of inventories are significantly less than the value reflected on the books of the Company. The values of those inventories had declined since operations ceased significantly prior to April 1, 1999.

Accordingly, an adjustment of $92,109 was made to write down inventories as of April 1, 1999. A corresponding entry was made to reduce previously reported retained earnings by $92,109.

4. COMMON STOCK

On June 8, 1983, the Company's Board approved an incentive stock option plan for all employees and reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options granted. The minimum exercise price under the plan is generally 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant, and the options are exercisable for a period up to 10 years from the date of the grant. For 10% stockholders, the minimum exercise price is 110% of the fair market value at the date of grant, and the options are exercisable for a period up to 5 years from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2001, no options have been granted.

5. INCOME TAXES

At March 31, 2000 the Company has accumulated net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $460,639 which may be utilized to offset future taxable income and which expire through the year 2015. The Company has research and development tax credit carryovers of approximately $16,261 which expire through the year 2002, accordingly the Company has made no provision for income taxes. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance has been established for the entire amount of the deferred taxes of $170,000.

Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating losses utilized in future income tax returns may be subject to alternative minimum tax regulations which may limit up to 10% of the net operating loss carryforward applied in a given year. Also, should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company's tax net operating loss carry forwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation which could reduce, eliminate or defer the utilization of those losses.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ACQUISITION OF INTERLEISURE

On June 25, 2001, the Company ("Telpro"), and Interleisure, S.A., a privately held Dominican Republic corporation ("Interleisure"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing for a business combination between Telpro and Interleisure. Under the Merger Agreement, Telpro will effectuate 20-for-1 reverse stock split and Interleisure will be merged with and into Telpro. Unpon consummation of the reverse stock split and merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Interleisure will be converted into the right to receive 10.68 shares of common stock, no par value of Telpro.

Consummation of the merger is subject to certain conditions, including amount other things, approval of the merger and other related transaction by the shareholders of Telpro.
