         Stock as consideration for the sale of 2,250 shares of common stock of
         eflex Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("eflex"), owned by the
         Reporting Person pursuant to the terms of that certain Stock Purchase
         Agreement dated as of January 7, 2000 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"),
         executed by Telenetics, the Reporting Person, and others, a copy of
         which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D. These additional
         earn-out shares are not deemed to be beneficially owned for purposes of
         this Schedule 13D because the contingencies for their issuance are not
         within the control of the Reporting Person and have not been waived or
         satisfied.

         The Reporting Person is a Co-President, director, and 50% shareholder
         of S&P. As a result, the Reporting Person may also be deemed to be the
         beneficial owner of the 600,000 shares of Common Stock that are deemed
         to be beneficially owned by S&P as a result of its ownership of options
         (the "Options") that are presently exercisable at $1.75 per share.
         Previously S&P was deemed to be the beneficial owner of five hundred
         thousand Shares (the "Pledged Shares") held by S&P as security for
         payment of a note, which note was paid on March 9, 2000.

         S&P beneficially owns the Options pursuant to that certain Non-
         Qualified Stock Option Agreement dated as of January 7, 2000, executed
         by Telenetics("Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement"), a copy of which
         is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D. The Options were granted
         by Telenetics as partial consideration for the services to be provided
         by S&P under that certain Consulting Agreement, dated as of January 7,
         2000,

         ("Consulting Agreement"), executed by Telenetics and S&P. A copy of the
         Consulting Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         The Reporting Person, among others, owned shares of the common stock of
         eflex. Telenetics desired to purchase all of the outstanding shares of
         eflex. After negotiations between the individual shareholders of eflex
         and Telenetics, each share of common stock of eflex was purchased by
         Telenetics for 75 shares of Common Stock of Telenetics and the right to
         receive up to an additional 554.4 shares of Common Stock through an
         earn-out provision in the Stock Purchase Agreement. On January 20,
         2000, the Stock Purchase Agreement was amended to increase the
         potential earn-out provision shares per share of eflex Common Stock to
         600.5 total shares of Common Stock instead of 544.4 shares. /4/ The
         Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Common
         Stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement for investment purposes.
         Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Telenetics will use its best
         efforts to elect either the Reporting Person or William C. Saunders
         ("Saunders"), the other Co-President of S&P, to the board of directors
         of Telenetics. If the Reporting Person is not elected to the board of
         directors, he will be an adviser to the board of directors of
         Telenetics. Each of the Reporting Person and Saunders became an adviser
         to the Telenetics board of directors as of January 7, 2000.

         For information concerning the purpose for the acquisition of
         beneficial ownership of Common Stock by S&P that the Reporting Person
         may be deemed to beneficially own, please see Item 4 of the Schedule
         13D executed by S&P on January 18, 2000, with respect to Telenetics, as
         amended, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

         Except as set forth above, the Reporting Person does not currently have
         any plans or proposals with respect to any of the matters described in
         (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a)  Number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned
              by Reporting Person: 768,750

              Percentage of class of securities deemed to be beneficially owned
              by Reporting Person: 5.15%

         (b)  Number of shares deemed to be beneficially owned by Reporting
              Person as to which it has the sole power to vote: 168,750

-------------------------
/4/ If the conditions for the earn-out shares are met, an aggregate of 6,000,558
additional shares of Common Stock of Telenetics will be issued to the former
shareholders of eflex, of which 1,350,126 would be issued to the Reporting
Person. These additional earn-out shares are not deemed to be benefically owned
for purposes of this Schedule 13D because the contingencies for their issuance
are not within the control of the Reporting Person and have not been waived or
satisfied.
