From inception (October 2, 1996), through March 31, 2004 the Company had incurred (unaudited) development stage losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $125,259,323 million and a stockholders' deficit of approximately $2,537,180 respectively. Cumulatively, through June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005, (unaudited) the Company had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $47.8 million and $54.1 million respectively. The auditors report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 is qualified as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management estimates the Company needs to raise between $5 million and $10 million during the next 12 months to sustain its current level of operations.
mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (mPhase, the Company, we or us), a New Jersey corporation, founded in 1996 is a publicly-held company with approximately 14,830 shareholders and approximately 141 million shares of common stock outstanding as of July 26, 2005. The Company's common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL. We are headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut with offices in Little Falls, New Jersey and New York, N.Y. mPhase shares common office space and common management with Microphase Corporation, a privately-held company. Microphase sells radio frequency and filtering technologies to the defense and telecommunications industry. Microphase has been in operation for 50 years and supports mPhase with engineering, administrative and financial resources, as needed.
mPhase is a developer of broadband communications products, specifically, middleware, set top boxes and systems integration solutions for the delivery of broadcast quality television, video on demand, high speed internet and voice utilizing internet protocol. (IPTV) mPhase's believes that Release 3.0 of its TV+ solution, scheduled for September of 2005 is the most cost-effective, standards based, scalable solution with carrier class quality and security available for telecommunications service providers around the world. mPhase believes that telecommunication service providers in countries outside of the United States that generally lack extensive fiber to the home infrastructure will find the Company's TV+ solution as an attractive way to retain traditional telephone customers by offering a full package of services. The TV+ solution is designed to enable telecommunication service providers to solve the "last mile" from a central office location to a customer over any existing infrastructure including copper, fiber or coax. Version 3.0 of the TV+ solution is a culmination of years of development of a world class television delivery solution for telecommunication service providers. The Company also develops and sells DSL products including "intelligent" POTS Splitter DSL loop diagnostic systems and Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) Splitters necessary to split a telephone signal into a high frequency digital and low digital data component and low frequency analog voice component necessary for a telephone service provider to provide high-speed internet services over copper from its central office to its customer's premises. Since our inception in 1996 we have been a development-stage company.
In February of 2004, the Company entered into the field of Nanotechnology research and development of micro power cell batteries of various voltages. The initial goal is to develop batteries for military applications having significantly longer shelf life prior to activation, instant on capabilities due to their extremely small internal size, and power management capabilities to significantly extend their duty cycle periods than are currently available in the market. The Company believes that such development is consistent with its strategy of being a pioneer in areas of high growth technology and potentially diversifies its mix of products. On March 11, 2005 the Company announced that it had expanded its nanotechnology research and efforts to develop extremely sensitive uncooled magnetic sensors, commonly known as a magnetometer, as a new product line.
IPTV Solution
Our primary activities currently consist of designing, manufacturing and testing Release 3.0 of our TV+ middleware solution and next generation set top box designed as the key ingredients for the deliver of IP (Internet Protocol) based broadcast television over a telephone service providers existing infrastructure including copper, fiber and coaxial networks or combinations thereof. We have not, as yet, derived significant sales revenue from our TV+ solution. Our solutions facilitate telephone companies becoming full service communications providers by enabling the simultaneous delivery of digital broadcast television, stored video from network based servers, high -speed data and voice services over the existing infrastructure and topology. mPhase has developed Release 3.0 of its TV+ solution primarily for telephone companies in parts of the world where access to multi-channel television is limited. We have engaged the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies Inc. to develop portions of our TV+ solution as well as to perform exploratory research with respect to our nanotechnology product development.
mPhase is a pioneer in the field of development of solutions for the delivery of television, high speed internet and voice by telecommunications service providers from such provider's central offices to its customers. This has been commonly referred to as the "last mile to the home solution" for delivery of a full menu of services to a customer that the Company believes is compelling where the existing infrastructure of a service provider is composed of copper wires rather than fiber in the "last mile to the house. Such infrastructure is found primarily outside of the United States, since (except for rural areas) most areas of significant population in the United States contains significant fiber to the home infrastructure. mPhase introduced its first TV over DSL platform, the Traverser Digital Video and Data Delivery System (DVDDS) in 1998. The DVDDS, is a patented end-to-end system that enables a telecommunications service provider to deliver up to several hundred channels of motion picture experts group two (MPEG-2) standard broadcast digital television, high speed internet and plain old telephone service (POTS) over copper telephone lines between a central office facility (CO) of the provider and a customer's premise. mPhase has not, derived any material revenues from sales of the DVDDS and has replaced the product with the newer TV+ solution. The DVDDS is a proprietary technology developed in conjunction with Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) that allows for the delivery of any television channel to all users at any given time without a dilution in quality. The system is the only system that utilizes non-internet protocol for the delivery of broadcast television over Asymmetric DSL (ADSL). The DVDDS was installed for serving over 80 customers at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, as a limited user beta system was operational. A DVDDS system is also installed at the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina for use as a telebroadcast system in a commercial setting.
The new mPhase TV+solution replaced the legacy Traverser DVDDS system and is developed in conjunction with Bell Laboratories division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. The TV+ solution marks a change in the Company's product emphasis from a proprietary end to end solution designed to deliver television over DSL as a solution for telephone companies that had copper from their central officers to their customer premises. The TV+ system was developed as an outgrowth of mPhase's engagement of Bell Labs in fiscal year 2003 to cost reduce mPhase's set top box that operated with the legacy DVDDS system developed by GTRC. The TV+ system replaces the DVDDS system with an open industry standards-based platform. Releases 1 and 2 (containing an enhanced programming guide) of the mPhaseTV+ system are complete and ready for commercial deployment and Release 3.0 is due to be released during September of 2005. Releases 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ system each deliver 255 broadcast television channels over ADSL and utilizes an industry-leading, standards-based Lucent Technologies, Inc.'s Stinger DSL Access Concentrator (DSLAM) for transport of digital television plus high speed internet and voice. The mPhase TV+ system consists of a powerful software platform and a cost reduced set top box located in a telephone customer's premises plus the Lucent
Stinger located at the Central Office of a telecommunications service provider or in the loop servicing the customer.
Release 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ solution provides comprehensive end to end management of delivery of digital broadcast television by interfacing with the Stinger and a video headend built by a telephone service provider to downlink broadcast television programming from satellites. mPhase software manages the broadcast television compressed data prior to the distribution to a customer by the Stinger and supports administrative tasks associated with subscriber management. The use of the Lucent Stinger for transport in the TV+ system results in a highly reliable architecture for the delivery of broadcast television. This is accomplished by internally multicasting each television channel for delivery from the central office of a telecommunications service provider to a larger number of end users. Release 2.0 of the TV+ system is capable of distributing 255 channels of broadcast television simultaneously to 455 customers by one Lucent Stinger DSLAM concentrator. We believe that the TV+ platform is a reliable standards-based solution for delivery of broadcast television using ADSL. For mPhase the alliance with Lucent marks a change in strategy from selling a complete proprietary platform to providing an industry-standards solution.
As noted above, the Company believes that the demand for the TV+ system will be greatest in markets primarily outside of the United States that do not have a hybrid fiber coaxial cable ("HFC") infrastructure necessary for cable TV or fiber to the curb necessary for very fast DSL (VDSL).
In December of 2004, the Company announced that Lucent Russia selected the mPhase TV+ solution to deploy to 1000 customers of one of seven regional telecommunications operators in Russia that are part of a Russian Holding Company with over 15 million customers. Installation of the broadcast television switch (the "BTS") software as well as mPhase's set top box is expected to begin in September of 2005 and be completed by the end of December of 2005. In December of 2004, the Company also announced that it had reached agreement with Beyaz Holding Company, an owner of Turkey's leading television news and entertainment station to provide technology for the introduction of an array of new digital television services throughout Turkey.
Release 3.0 of the TV+ solution marks the culmination of mPhase's 7 year effort to develop a world class solution for telecommunication service providers seeking to provide carrier class, highly scaleable and cost effective delivery of feature rich broadcast television over its existing infrastructure. Release 3.0 of the TV+ solution consist of a state of the art middleware system that enables a telecommunication service provider seeking to delivery feature risk broadcast television over ANY infrastructure including fiber, copper, coaxial solution or any combination of the foregoing to its customers. The Company is also developing a next generation set top box designed to further enhance its overall product solution. It is important to note, however that the middleware that is the key solutions ingredient is designed to work with the DSLAM or other transportation technologies plus any set top box as a completely OPEN STANDARDS BASED solution. Our middleware is transport agnostic and operates with any IP based network including any DSL, ethernet or fiber infrastructure or combination thereof and may be deployed IP Multicast Router or DSLAM transportation method used for the delivery of digital television and high-speed data.
Furthermore Release 3.0 of the TV+ solution utilizes a communications framework based upon Internet Protocol (IP) instead of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) that is utilized by Releases 1.0 and 2.1. ATM is an industry standard for transportation of data based upon a packaging of information into a fixed-size cell format for transportation across networks. Many telecommunications service providers currently deploy equipment that handles this protocol because it can support voice, video, data and multimedia applications simultaneously with a high degree of reliability. IP is another transport protocol that maintains network information and routes packets across networks. IP packets are larger and can hold more data than ATM cells. Historically, there have been concerns that service providers would be unable to provide the same quality of service with IP because it is not optimized for time-sensitive signals such as broadcast television and voice. Nevertheless, there is a greater demand by telecommunication service providers for IP systems for delivery of television, voice and high-speed data because such systems are significantly more cost effective to deploy based upon greater scalability.
Release 3.0 of the TV+ system consists primarily of highly scalable system
management software/middleware designed to deliver IP television, video on
demand, high speed internet and voice over both fiber and copper infrastructures
of a telephone service provider. As noted above it will operate with both the
Lucent Stinger as well as the DSLAM's of other major vendors. Release 3.0 of the
TV+ solution will also be able to send multiple TV channels down a single DSL
line using ADSL2. The Company believes that the current TV+ solution offers the
premiere solution in IPTV that telecommunications service providers are seeking
for the delivery of converged services to preserve and enhance their traditional
telephone voice delivery capabilities and compete against cable and satellite
technologies for delivery of converged services to their traditional customers.
In those television markets in the United States that are not served by HFC,
we believe that the availability of programming content is essential to
facilitate potential sales of our systems enabling delivery of broadcast
television over ADSL. In March of 2000, we established mPhase Television net.,
Inc. (mPhase TV), a joint venture between mPhase and Alphastar International,
Inc in which mPhase owns approximately 57% of. Through such joint venture mPhase
TV has compiled significant experienced in negotiation contracts with broadcast
television programming providers for U.S. markets. Such experience should prove
useful in assisting a U.S. telecommunications service provider to arrange
contact packages with various content providers of broadcast television. NanoTechnology Products Effective February 3, 2004, mPhase entered into a 12 month research and
development agreement with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc.
to develop micro power cell battery arrays employing nantextured
superhydrophobic materials for $1.2 million. In March of 2005, the Company has
extended the contract with Lucent for another 12 months at approximately the
same cost to continue development of such product, with additional agreements to
extend our relationship with Lucent Bell Labs on an ongoing basis past this
period. Under the terms of the
contract, the Company will share in royalties from any licensing of the products
developed with Lucent. mPhase believes that the initial market for the product will be military
applications. A first generation laboratory feasibility prototype of the product was completed during the
second quarter in fiscal year 2005. On March 11, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a new 12
month research and development agreement with the Bell Labs division of Lucent
Technologies Inc at a cost of approximately $1.2 million to co-develop and
commercialize uncooled magnetic ultra-sensitive sensors for a host of defense
and civilian applications. The sensors, technically referred to as
magnetometers, are based upon Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and are being
designed to create a new generation of uncooled ultra sensitive magnetic field
sensors. mPhase DSL Component Products Although the Company has changed significantly with respect to its
telecommunications solutions from a hardware to a software provider, mPhase
continues to design and markets a line of DSL component products ranging from
items such as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) splitters to innovative loop
management products. From our inception in 1996 to date virtually all of
mPhase's revenue has been derived from sales of our DSL products such as POTS
splitters and low pass filters. Our newest innovation in our suite of DSL component products is our
In November of 2004, the Company announced that Lucent Technologies Saudi Arabia's telecommunications deployment selected the Company's Broadband Loop Watch product. The broadband loop management system is designed to reduce operating and maintenance expenses associated with DSL deployments by telecommunications service providers. The first delivery of such product is expected during the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.
For the year ending June 30, 2004 sales from our POTS Splitter Shelves were $4,641,346 with a Net Loss of $7,758,586 as compared to POTS Splitter Shelf sales of $351,027 and a Net Loss of $6,650,211 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. For the nine months ending March 31, 2005 (unaudited), sales from POTS Splitter Shelves and our TV + platform totaled $1,039,003 with a Net Loss of $9,484,240 compared to sales (exclusively of POTS SPLITTERS) of $4,335,476 and a Net Loss of $4,889,771 for the same period ending March 31, 2004.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the common stock offered by this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information in this prospectus and any supplements to this prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment decision.
Risks Related to Financial Aspects of Our Business
In fiscal year 2004, the Company entered into the new and emerging business of developing products using the science of Nanotechnology which entails significant exploratory development and commercial risk.
The Company has expended a total of $1.2 million pursuant to a contract with Lucent Technologies, Inc. to initially develop longer life battery cells for military applications. The Company expects to continue exploratory research with Lucent Technologies, Inc. and has extended its current Development Agreement with Lucent for an additional 12 months at a cost of $100,000 per month. Even though a feasibility prototype product has been successfully developed, pure research involves a high degree of risk with significant uncertainty as to whether a commercially viable product will result. On March 10, 2005 the Company undertook an additional capital commitment of $1.2 million to Lucent Technologies Inc for new research and development of uncooled magnetic ultra sensors using the science of Nanotechnology The Company does not expect significant revenues from either product for at least 3 years.
mPhase's stock price has suffered significant declines during the past five years and remains volatile.
The market price of our common stock closed at $7.88 on July 26, 2000 and closed at $.247 on July 26, 2005. During such period the number of shares outstanding of the Company increased from approximately 30 million shares to 141 million shares (undiluted) and approximately 245 million shares (full diluted). Such increase was the result of periodic private placements by the Company in order to finance company operations. Stocks in telecommunications equipment providers of DSL products have been very volatile during such period. Our common stock is a highly speculative investment and is suitable only for such investors with financial resources that enable them to sustain the loss of their entire investment in such stock. Because the price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and is not traded on the NASDAQ National or NASDAQ Small Cap exchanges, it is considered to be a "penny stock" limiting the type of customers that broker/dealers can sell to. Such customers consist only of "established customers" and "Accredited Investors" (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended-generally individuals and entities of substantial net worth) thereby limiting the liquidity of our common stock.
We have reported net losses for each of our fiscal years from our inception in 1996 and for the nine months (unaudited) ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 respectively and may not be able to operate profitability in the future.
We have had substantial operating losses since our inception in 1996 (including $7,758,586 and $6,650,211 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, respectively and (unaudited) $9,484,240 and $4,889,771 for the nine month period ending March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 respectively) and cannot be certain when or if we will ever be profitable. We expect to continue to have net losses for the foreseeable future and have a need to raise not less than $5-10 million in additional cash in the next 12 months through further offerings to continue operations. We have never been profitable from our inception in October, 1996 through March 31, 2005 (unaudited) and we have incurred (a) accumulated losses of $125,259,323 and a stockholder's deficit of $2,537,180 and (b) cumulative negative cash flow of $54,120,374. As of March 31, 2005 (unaudited) we have a negative net worth of $2,537,180 and negative working capital of $2,332,278.
Our independent auditor's report express doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The reports of the Company's outside auditors' Rosenberg, Rich, Baker, Berman & Company with respect to its latest audited 10K for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 stated that "there is substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern." Such opinion from our outside auditors makes it significantly more difficult and expensive for the Company to raise additional capital necessary to continue our operations.Our common stock is subject to significant dilution upon issuance of shares we have reserved issuance.
As of July 26, 2005, we have warrants, options and convertible notes outstanding convertible into approximately 100 million total shares of mPhase common stock which, upon conversion, may adversely affect the future price of our common stock. As of July 26, 2005 we have warrants and options convertible into approximately 77 million shares of our common stock at $.35 per share or less that, upon exercise, will result in significant dilution to many of our current shareholders and may adversely affect the future price of our common stock. As of July 26, 2005, the Company has approximately 1,440,000 shares of common stock reserved for the issuance upon the conversion of a 12% convertible notes to a related party at an average exercise price $.25 per share which may adversely affect the future price of our common stock. We may be forced to raise additional cash for operations by selling additional shares of our common stock at depressed prices causing further dilution to our shareholders.
Risk Factors Related to Our Operations
We have been a development-stage company since our inception in 1996 and have not to date had a significant deployment of any of our solutions for the delivery of broadcast television, high-speed internet and voice by a major telephone service provider.
We have had to date no material revenues derived from sales of either our legacy Traverser Digital Video Data Delivery System (DVDDS) or our TV+ solution or our new Broadband Loop Watch product. There have been to date only one sale of our software and Set Top Boxes for 1000 customers of a telecommunications service provider in Russia that is just commencing deployment of a small group of customers as a trial and no major deployments of Release 2.0 of our TV+ Solution by telephone service providers globally of our products and there currently is uncertainty as to the extent, if at all, that deployments will occur in the future.
We depend upon outsourcing of our research and product development of our television platform and Nanotechnology products to Lucent Technologies Inc.
We depend upon Lucent Technologies Inc. for the successful development of our TV+ product, certain design and software used in our Broadband Loop Watch product and our Nanotechnology products and our business would be materially adversely affected if Lucent Technologies Inc. were to terminate our relationship.
The loss of key personnel could adversely affect our business.
Management and employment contracts with all of our officers have expired and no assurances can be given that such executives will remain with the Company or that the Company will be able to successfully enter into agreements with such key executives. All of our officers and other key employees have been granted stock options that are intended to represent a key component of their compensation. Such options may not provide the intended incentives to such persons if our stock price declines or experiences significant volatility.
Economic support from affiliated companies has been significant.
During the downturn in the telecommunications industry that has continued over the past 4 years, both Microphase Corporation, and Janifast Ltd. had provided significant financial support to mPhase in the form of either cash infusions or conversions of related party debt. Such companies, which share common management with mPhase, are under no legal obligation to and may not be able to sustain such economic support of mPhase in the future should such support be necessary.
Sales and margins from our component DSL products have varied dramatically during the past four years and remains volatile.
Sales and gross margins from our POTS Splitter and other DSL products have experienced a general decline and significant volatility during the period from June 30, 2001 through March 31, 2005 as a result of the significant downturn in capital spending by telecommunications service providers. Sales have declined during each quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and continued to decline during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. Such decline has continued throughout fiscal year 2005 and the outlook for continuing growth in sales remains uncertain. Failure to achieve significant sales with adequate gross margins with respect to our component DSL products will negatively affect the cash available to the Company prior to commencement of sales of our TV+solution thereby having a negative effect upon the overall financial condition of the Company and the price of our common stock.
We rely on single sources for supply of a certain component for our POTS splitter product that has been the source of all of our revenues to date.
We purchase the core torroid that is a key component in our POTS Splitter Product from VAC corporation. We purchase such component on a purchase order basis and have no long term contract for the supply of such component. The loss of this current source of supply could result in us having to redesign our product at additional cost and result in lost revenues from our main source of sales to date.
We may incur substantial expenditures in the future in order to protect our intellectual property.
Although our legacy Traverser DVDDS television platform is patent-protected and not the subject of any infringement allegations we do not have currently patents or patents pending for our TV+ solution. The telecommunications industry, in general, is characterized by a large number of patents and frequent patent litigation based upon claims of patent infringement when compared to other industries.
Risk Factors Related to Our Targeted Markets
Historically the sale of infrastructure products to telecommunication providers in the international markets has a long lead time and a multiplicity of risks.
We expect the majority of our future revenues from our TV+ solution to be derived from international emerging markets and our success depends upon our ability to sell our flagship television platform outside of the United States where political, currency and regulatory risks are significantly greater. As a result of their distance from the United States, different time zones, culture, management and language differences, these operations pose greater risk than selling in the United States. Our sales cycle for our TV + solution is lengthy (since it involves a major strategic decision by an international telecommunications service provider) and we may incur significant marketing expenses with no guarantee of future sales. A significant market for our legacy Traverser DVDDS never developed and may never develop for our TV +solution if international telephone service providers fail to successfully deploy broadband services including high speed data and television Telephone service providers worldwide have significantly decreased capital expenditures for broadband and other deployment as a result of the current economic downturn in the industry. Future market demand that will cause telephone service providers to aggressively roll out IPTV, in general, is highly unpredictable especially in markets outside of the United States. Certain telephone companies (especially in developing international economies) may have copper wire infrastructure that is not of sufficient quality to accommodate the mPhaseTV+ solution. Changes in foreign taxes and import duties and economic and political instability in international markets pose a greater risk to our operations than U.S. markets.
Our televison platform may not achieve compliance with regulatory requirements in foreign countries.
Our mPhaseTV+ solution may fail to meet foreign regulatory standards. Since our targeted markets for our television platform involves countries outside of the United States, such product is subject to greater regulatory risks since it must comply with different standards of different countries than can vary widely in the telecommunications industry. The failure to meet such regulatory standards would result in potential customers in countries outside of the United States not deploying of our TV+ solution.
The telecommunications industry is subject to intense competition characterized by swift changes in technology.
The telecommunications equipment industry is subject to swift and continuing innovation and technological changes that could render our TV+ solution obsolete and intense competition in the industry could prevent our ever becoming profitable. Our competitors that sell IP TV solutions that compete with and mPhase TV+ set top box and middleware include much larger and better known and capitalized companies with significantly greater selling and marketing experience and financial resources. Such competitors include for middleware a joint venture between Microsoft and Alchaetel, as well as Minverva, Orca Interactive, Siemens, VBrick Systems and Video Furnance. For set top boxes the Company is in competition with Advanced Digital Broadcast, Amino Communications, Kreatel, Pace Micro Technology, Samsung Telsey Telecommunications and VBrick Systems. End to end solutions competitors for IPTV include UTStarcom, mxWare and Industria. Telephone service providers that are our targeted customers face competition from cable-based technologies, fixed wireless technologies and satellite technologies that may cause them not to deploy our TV+ product.
Deployment of our television platform requires certain additional investments by telecommunications service providers.
Our Customers may need to build a digital head-end to download television content from satellites involving a significant additional capital expenditure to utilize the digital Television capabilities of our TV+ solution. For customers desiring feature rich solutions such as video on demand, the installation of additional routers and servers may be required to upgrade the internet backbone capabilities of such customer. Such additional capital costs may cause a number of potential customers not to deploy our TV+ solution.
We may not be able to evolve our technology, products and services or develop new technology, products and services that are acceptable to our customers.
The market for our broadcast digital television platforms over DSL is characterized by:
Rapid technology change;
New and improved product introductions;
Changing customer demands; and
Evolving industry standards and product obsolescence.
Our future success will depend upon our ability to continually enhance our TV+ solution to deliver feature rich, open standards, carrier class television on the most scaleable cost efficient platform custom tailored to the rigorous and varied demands of telecommunications service providers. The development of enhanced and new technology, products and services is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, highly-skilled engineering and development personnel, and the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We may not be able to identify, develop, market or support new or enhanced technology, products, or services on a timely basis, if at all owing to our size and limited financial resources.
Telecommunications service providers outside of the United States must be able to access sources for broadcast television content in order to deploy our TV+ Solution.
In order to have an incentive to deploy the TV+ solution, an international telecommunications service provider must have access, to multiple channels of Television programming from content providers at prices that enable such provider to earn a profit from the deployment of television programming. In certain of our key target markets, such as Brazil, only cable companies are permitted under current law to provide such content and therefore a local service provider must establish a working relationship with such a cable provider to have an incentive to utilize our products.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling stockholders will receive the proceeds from the resale of the shares of common stock. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive approximately $4,075,375 if all of the warrants and options are converted to purchase shares of common stock registered under this prospectus, which would be used for general working capital.

OVERVIEW mPhase Technologies, Inc. (mPhase, the Company, we or us), a New Jersey
corporation, founded in 1996 is a publicly-held company with approximately
14,830 shareholders and approximately 141 million shares of common stock
outstanding. The Company's common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Over the Counter
Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL. mPhase is a developer of broadband communications products, specifically, IP
TV plus a digital subscriber line (DSL) products for telecommunications service
providers around the world. In February of 2004 mPhase has entered into the new
and emerging area of NanoTechnology. Since our inception in 1996 we have been a
development-stage company and operating activities have related primarily to
research and development, establishing third-party manufacturing relationships
and developing product brand recognition among telecommunications service
providers. We are headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut with offices in Little Falls,
New Jersey and New York, New York. mPhase shares common office space and common
management with Microphase Corporation, a privately-held company. Microphase is
a seller of radio frequency and filtering technologies to the defense industry.
Microphase has been in operation for almost 50 years and supports mPhase with
engineering, administrative and financial resources, as needed. Description of Operations Since our inception in 1996 our primary activities through fiscal year 2003
consisted of designing, manufacturing and testing our flagship products designed
to enable telephone service providers to deliver digital broadcast television
over DSL. Fiscal years 2004 and 2005 marked a significant shift of the Company's
focus, in response to technology advancements with respect to the delivery of
video data using internet protocol. The Company has shifted it
telecommunications solution focus from technology for the delivery of broadcast
television high speed internet and voice over DSL to the development of
middleware/software for carrier class delivery of IP TV over copper, fiber, coax
or any infrastructure representing a combination of the foregoing that is used
by a telecommunications service provider. This shift has taken place over the
past two years and has culminated in our flagship product namely Release 3.0 of
our TV+ solution. This product is scheduled for final testing in September of
2005 as part of an initial deployment of 1000 ports with a major
telecommunications service provider in Russia. We have not, as yet, derived any
significant revenue from our TV+ solution, which is the culmination of several
earlier versions that have been changed to accommodate the latest in
technological innovation and market demand for IPTV. The Company's recent entry
into the field of nanotechnology is focused upon exploratory development of
batteries with significantly longer shelf lives and enhanced capabilities and
magnetometer sensor devices with potentially wide applicability for both
military and commercial security applications. The Company believes that such
development is consistent with its strategy of being a pioneer of high growth
technology products and potentially diversifies its product mix. mPhase introduced its first TV over DSL platform, the Traverser Digital
Video and Data Delivery System ("DVDDS"), in 1998. The DVDDS is a patented end
to end system that enables a telecommunications service provider to deliver up
to several hundred channels of motion picture experts group two ("MPEG-2")
standard broadcast digital television, high speed internet and voice over copper
telephone lines between a central office facility of the provider and a
customer's premise. mPhase has not, as yet, derived any material revenues from
sales of the DVDDS. The DVDDS is a proprietary technology developed in
conjunction with Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) and is one of the
first systems of its kind developed. The system is the only system on the
market that utilizes non- Internet Protocol ("IP") transmission over ADSL. The DVDDS is installed at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, where a
limited user system of approximately 80 customers was tested. A DVDDS system is
also installed at the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina for
use as a television broadcast system in a commercial setting. The new mPhase TV+ system, developed in conjunction with Bell Laboratories
division of Lucent Technologies, Inc., is also designed to allow for the
simultaneous delivery of voice, high speed data, and broadcast TV over copper
telephone lines between a telephone service provider's central office (CO) and
the customer premises. The TV+ system was developed in conjunction with Bell
Laboratories as an outgrowth of mPhase's engagement of Bell Labs in fiscal
year 2003 to cost reduce mPhase's set top box that operates with the legacy
DVDDS sytem developed by Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC). The TV+
system has replaced the legacy DVDDS system with an open industry
standards-based platform. Release 1 and 2.0 of the mPhaseTV+ system is complete
and ready for commercial deployment. The TV+ system delivers 255 broadcast
television channels over ADSL and utilizes an industry-leading, standards-based
Lucent Technologies, Inc.'s Stinger DSL Access Concentrator for transport of digital television plus high speed internet and voice. The
mPhase TV+ system consists of a powerful software platform and a cost reduced
set top box located in a telephone customer's premises plus the Lucent Stinger
located at the CO or in the loop servicing the customer. For mPhase the alliance
with Lucent marks a change in strategy from selling a complete proprietary
platform to providing an industry-standards solution The Company believes that
the demand for the TV+ system will be greatest in markets primarily outside of
the United States that do not have a hybrid fiber coaxial cable ("HFC")
infrastructure necessary for cable TV or fiber to the curb necessary for very
fast DSL (VDSL). In December of 2004, the Company announced that a major telecommunications
service provider in Russia had chosen to deploy to 1,000 of its customers
mPhase's TV+ platform. The Russian service provider has over 1 million customers
and is part of a holding company with 15 million customers. Release 3.0 of the TV+ solution, utilizes a communications framework based
upon Internet Protocol (IP) instead of Asynchornous Transfer Mode (ATM) that is
utilized by Releases 1.0 and 2.1. ATM is an industry standard for transportation
of data based upon a packaging of information into a fixed-size cell format for
transportation across networks. Many telecommunications service providers
currently deploy equipment that handles this protocol because it can support
voice, video, data and multimedia applications simultaneously with a high degree
of reliability. IP is another transport protocol that maintains network
information and routes packets across networks. IP packets are larger and can
hold more data than ATM cells. Historically, there have been concerns that
service providers would be unable to provide the same quality of service with IP
because it is not optimized for time-sensitive signals such as broadcast
television and voice. Nevertheless, there is a greater demand by
telecommunication service providers for IP systems for delivery of television,
voice and high-speed data because such systems are significantly more cost
effective to deploy based upon greater scalability. Release 3.0 of the TV+ solution is a system management software/middleware
product that will operate with both the Lucent Stinger as well as the DSLAM's of
other major vendors. Release 3.0 of the TV system will also be able to send
multiple TV channels over both fiber, coax as well as down a single DSL line
over copper using ADSL2 supported DSLAM's and be capable of delivery of Video on
Demand. Our TV+ solution is an open standards-based, carrier class technology
with tremendous scalability and enables a telecommunications service provider to
custom tailor the deployment of feature rich IP television, high speed internet
and voice. Such solution enables a telecommunications service provider to
significantly enhance revenue, margins with a very high rate of return as
compared to the traditional economics for delivery of telephone voice services
only. In addition, Teleco's around the world are under increased pressure to
delivery multiple converged services in order to retain their traditional
telephone voice customers. The TV+ solution may be used in combination with any
vendors set top box designed for the delivery of IP TV and the DSLAM's of all
major vendors. The solution allows a service provider to start small and test
its take rate among customers with a maximum of flexibility of design, features
and cost allowing it to enter the market for converged services to its customers
on an optimal basis.
mPhase has transformed itself from a developer of closed end proprietary technology for the delivery of TV over DSL to a Company that has developed a carrier class middleware/software solution for the delivery of IP TV using a standards-based platform designed to provide telecommunications with maximum flexibility in system configuration with components from all major vendors. mPhase is continuing in the development of a next generation set top box designed to further enhance its IP TV+ solution and to be used as a stand alone product. mPhase's current IPTV solution is designed to be used over fiber, coax and copper or any combination thereof currently deployed by a telecommunications service provider. In addition mPhase's IP TV solution may be used with any DSLAM's of all major vendors. In addition our IPTV solution may be used with other telecommunications transport technology such as Multicast Routers instead of DSLAM's for the delivery of voice, data and IPTV.
mPhase DSL Component Products. mPhase continues to design and market a line of DSL component products ranging from commodity items such as POTS splitters to innovative loop management products. Most notable in the suite of DSL component products is the recently introduced
iPOTS3 (recently renamed the "Broadband Loop Watch") or Intelligent POTS Splitter product. The newly developed version of the Broadband Loop Watch product is compatible with the Lucent Stinger as well as DSLAM's manufactured by other vendors. This product marks a significant advancement in automating loop management. The Broadband Loop Watch allows service providers to perform full loop testing for DSL deployment and maintenance from a central office without having to deploy a more costly deployment of personnel to the field. This is accomplished by allowing service providers to temporarily bypass the POTS Splitter and have a comprehensive view of their DSL networks. Prior to the introduction of this product in order to perform full testing, service providers would have to manually intervene so that so that test signals could be passed through the network. In November of 2004, the Company announced that it had been selected to provide its automated Broadband Watch product for Saudi Arabia Telecom under an initial purchase order in excess of $1 million. As DSL deployments scale, it is becoming increasingly more important for telecommunications service providers to streamline the process for provisioning and troubleshooting DSL services. Additionally, as competition for high speed Internet expands, the market is witnessing a reduction in price. Therefore, it has become imperative that telecommunications service providers lower the operational costs involved with supporting DSL services.
Nanotechnology Effective February 3, 2004, mPhase has entered into a Development Agreement
with Lucent Technologies, Inc. to commercialize the use of nano power cell
technology. The initial agreement was for a 12 month period of exploratory
development at the cost of $100,000 per month of a new form of power cell having
a shelf life far in excess of conventional battery technology. In March of 2005
the Company extended such Agreement for another 12 months at the cost of
$100,000 per month to continue development of the nano power cell product. We
believe that this arrangement with the Bell Labs division of Lucent will give
mPhase the opportunity to develop and offer breakthrough battery technology and
other potential applications, initially to the government market for defense and
homeland security and ultimately to the commercial market. It is anticipated
that the initial applications for nano power cells will address the need to
supply emergency and reserve power to a broad range of products for the defense
department. The Company believes that its entry into this new field of high technology
growth will provide product diversification without negatively affecting its
focus upon its traditional products aimed at delivery of Television over DSL.
The Company developed a lab prototype of its first nano power cell product that
was completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. The Company is unable,
at this time, to predict when significant commercialization and material
revenues will be derived from its entry into the NanoTechnology business. On March 10, 2005 the Company announced and agreement with the Bell Labs
research and development arm of Lucent Technologies, Inc. to co develop using the science of nanotechnology and
commercialize uncooled magnetic ultra-sensitive sensors for a host of defense
and civilian applications. The sensors, technically referred to as
magnetometers, are based upon Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) using
designs based upon fundamental breakthroughs made in the past few years at Bell
Labs as part of the New Jersey Nanotechnology Consortium. Initial tests of
theses MEMS magnetometers indicate sensitivities 1000 times those achieved in
presently available uncooled magnetometers. Such devices are designed to create
a new generation of ultra sensitive magnetic field sensors that will enable
military combatants to detect with greater accuracy and range hostile military
forces. Commercial applications may include inexpensive navigational components
for mobile phones to sensing devices for identification used in homeland
security products, as well as sensors used in diagnostic systems for detection
of metal fatigue for numerous industrial applications. Nano Battery: mPhase Technologies along with its partner Lucent/Bell Labs,
has been jointly conducting research since February 2004 that demonstrates
control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic surfaces to create power
cells by controlling wetting behavior of electrolyte on nanostructured electrode
surfaces. The scientific research conducted this year has set the
groundwork for continued exploration in the development of intelligent
nanotechnology power cells (nano-batteries), and forms a path to
commercialization of the technology for a broad range of market opportunities.
During the first half of 2005 the battery team has been testing modifications
and enhancements to the internal design of the battery to optimize its power and
energy density characteristics, as well as making engineering improvements that
will assist in making the battery easier to manufacture when the project
research that level of maturity. In June of 2005 the battery project was expanded to include a
joint technical development effort through December 2005 between mPhase and Rutgers
University to potentially incorporate a Lithium based design. This work program
has initial started as a modest technology effort to help characterize and test
the nano battery design using Lithium chemistry and determine if the current design
is capable of supporting the lithium based chemistry. Based on the results of the testing with Rutgers
University, mPhase may decide to accelerate the work
effort. Magnetometer: In February 2005 mPhase and Lucent Technologies' Bell Laboratories entered
into a joint effort to develop an extremely sensitive magnetometer.
Magnetometers can be used in a wide range of applications that include military
surveillance, securing the retail environment, automotive sensors and actuators,
industrial processing, medical imaging, scientific measurements, detection of
mineral deposits and even air and space exploration. In sensor networks
ultra-sensitive magnetometers can be used, for example, to detect and accurately
pinpoint battlefield objects or they might also be used to study the workings of
the human brain. Magnetometers work by sensing changes in magnetic fields due to the motion of
magnetic objects or changes in electrical currents generated by those objects.
The magnetometer detects these objects by measuring time-varying magnetic
signals that are superimposed on the combination of earth's background field
(used to orient compasses) and static magnetic fields due to nearby magnetic
objects. Highly Sensitive Magnetometers - The enhanced sensitivity of these
devices results from two scientific advances recently made researchers at Lucent
Bell Labs. Presently, the highest sensitivity magnetometers commercially
available require cooling to cryogenic temperatures. Called SQUIDs (for
Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices) these devices only work at the
temperature where liquid helium boils, -455 degrees below zero Fahrenheit,
making such magnetometers expensive and bulky and therefore ill-suited for
remote-sensing applications. Room temperature magnetometers, on the other hand,
are less sensitive, and use technology that was developed in World War II for
detecting submarines.
The new technology being developed by Bell Labs and mPhase employs a number
of different designs based on Micro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). These designs use
the very high "Quality Factor (Q)" of the mechanical resonance in single
crystals of silicon. A resonance is similar to the fundamental frequency of a
tuning fork. When tapped, a tuning fork will vibrate for a length of time
inversely proportional to the internal friction of vibration within the metal of
the tuning fork. A comparable tuning fork made from single crystal silicon,
which has less internal friction than the hardest metal, will vibrate almost a
thousand times longer. Based on this principal, a device employing a high Q
resonator will have enhanced amplitude of vibration at the resonance frequency,
and hence will display a greater sensitivity to external perturbations that
affect its resonance frequency. By coupling the mechanical motion of a bar or a
paddle constructed from silicon to the ambient magnetic field, this high
mechanical sensitivity can be converted to high magnetic field sensitivity. The
technical approach that the team is developing can be achieved either statically
with an integrated magnetic film, or dynamically through motion of the silicon
bar or paddle. The Benefits of MEMS - Commercial magnetometers using purely electronic
detection, such as Hall, magneto-resistance or flux-gate devices, have
sensitivities limited by their electronic Q-factor. This Q-factor depends
on the natural electrical resistance, or electronic friction, of the metal in
the circuit. For room-temperature operations it is therefore difficult to reduce
the electrical Q-factor. Mechanical resonators made from semiconductor-grade
silicon, on the other hand, exhibit mechanical Q-factors, approaching 100,000 at
room temperature. In all, these new, smaller and less costly magnetometers
should be 100-1000 times more sensitive than existing commercial devices, thus
enabling a new class of sensor systems that mPhase plans on commercializing. The mPhase and Lucent magnetometer team has successfully
reached an early milestone and have produced a number MEM based sensor samples
from the clean room facilities and are working on integrating them into the
surrounding electronic circuitry so that measurement, characterization and
sensitivity testing can be conducted. Revenues. To date, all material revenues have been generated from sales
of the POTS Splitter Shelves and other DSL component products to a small number
of telecommunications companies. mPhase believes that future revenues are
difficult to predict because of "the length and variability of the commercial
roll-out of the IPTV to various telecommunications service providers and (ii)
the Company's recent entry into the NanoTechnology business. Since the Company
believes that there may be a significant international market for its TV+ IPTV
solution involving many different countries, with different regulations,
certifications and commercial practices than the United States, future revenues
are highly subject to the changing variables and uncertainties. Additionally,
the recent instability of the telecommunications market evidenced by reduction
in capital spending across the whole in the telecom sector contributes to our
difficulty in accurately predicting future revenues. Cost of revenues. The costs necessary to generate revenues from the sale
of POTS Splitter Shelves and other related DSL component products include direct
material, labor and manufacturing. mPhase paid these costs to Janifast Ltd.,
which has facilities in the People's Republic of China and is owned by and
managed by certain senior executives of the Company. The cost of revenues also
includes certain royalties paid to Microphase Corporation, a privately held
corporation organized in 1955, which shares certain common management with the
Company and is majority-owned by a director of mPhase. Costs for future
production of the TV + Platform will consist primarily of payments to
manufacturers to acquire the necessary components and assemble the product
including Lucent Technologies Inc., Espiral Group and Magpie Telecom Insiders,
Inc. Research and development. Research and development
expenses consist principally of the payments made to Microphase and Lucent,
respectively, for development of the Broadband Loop Watch, the TV+ IPTV solution
and nanotechnology products respectively. The IPTV+ solution consists primarily
of middleware/software designed for the delivery of feature rich, carrier class,
broadcast TV, high speed internet and voice by telecommunications service
providers open using standards based equipment and transport configurations. All
research and development costs are expensed as incurred. General and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses
consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in
direct marketing of the TV+ solution for IPTV, POTS Splitter Shelves, the
Broadband Loop Watch "intelligent pots splitter" diagnostic product and other
DSL component products, as well as support functions including executive, legal
and accounting personnel. Certain administrative activities are outsourced on a
monthly fee basis to Microphase and mPhase leases its principal office in
Norwalk, Connecticut from Microphase. Non-Cash compensation charges. The Company makes extensive use of stock
options and warrants as a form of compensation to employees, directors and outside consultants. We incurred non-cash
compensation charges totaling $67,932,341 from inception (October 2, 1996)
through June 30, 2004, of which $2,117,769 was included in research and
development expenses and $47,133,142 was included in general and administrative
expenses.
TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 VS. JUNE 30, 2003 Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2004 increased to
$4,641,346 from $1,581,639 for the year ended June 30, 2003. The increase was
primarily attributable to increased sales of the Company's POTS Splitter product
line especially during the first quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, caused by an upturn in July and August of
2004 of orders from one customer that orders component products from the
Company. The Company continues to believe that its line of POTS Splitter
products is positioned to be competitively priced with high reliability and
connectivity, and as such has the potential to be significant part of DSL
deployment. The Company cannot predict when the demand for telecommunication
equipment will resume, however we do not expect significant sales in the first
two quarters of fiscal 2005. Cost of revenues. Cost of sales was $4,068,255 for the year ended June 30,
2004 as compared to $1,493,394 in the year ended 30, 2003. Cost of revenues
increased for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the prior period
ending June 30, 2003 primarily because of increased sales. Gross margins for the
period ended June 30, 2004 were 12%. The gross margins have varied dramatically
as spending among telecommunication providers has contracted, coupled with
downward pressures related to the supply and demand of telecommunications
products. The single most significant reason the margins decreased dramatically
was due to the reduced selling price of our POTS Splitter product. Discounts,
consisting of a 2% discount from the amount invoiced if paid within 10 days were
offered during fiscal year 2004. Such discounts amounted to $71,425 for
the period ended June 30, 2004, and were offered to Covad Communication our
leading telecommunications service provider customer. Discounts were
offered in fiscal 2003 to an existing customer to accelerate collections in
connection with an order of our POTS Splitter product and was treated as a
purchase discount to each our customers, and the reduction to net sales lowered
the gross margins in the period. Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $4,069,721
for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $3,538,305 in the year ended
June 30, 2003, an increase of $531,416. Such expenditures included $2,328,602
incurred with Lucent Technologies, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2004 as
compared to $1,112,500 during the comparable period in 2003. In addition we
incurred $99,494 with Microphase and other strategic vendors for the year ended
June 30, 2004 as compared to $528,434 during the comparable period in 2003. The significant increase in research and development expenses with Lucent
Technologies, Inc. is due to the continued and accelerated development of the
TV+ product together with the entry into a $1.2 million 12 month Development
Agreement for battery and power pack product development utilizing Nanotechnology. Such expenditures are
expected to increase in fiscal year 2005 since the Company's strategy is to
further enhance the features and cost reduce its TV+ and expand its product line
in the Nanotechnology area. The elimination in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the
Company's refocus in development from its legacy Traverser DVDDS television
delivery platform to its TV+ product. Research expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing
development of the Company's DSL component products, including the Company's
line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Company's newest products, the
iPOTS. General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $4,177,961 for the year ended June 30, 2004 up from
$2,683,534 for the comparable period in 2003, an increase of $1,494,427. The
increase in the selling, general and administrative costs was primarily the
result of the addition of a number of new employees critical to the Company's
needs in developing, marketing and selling the TV+ and NanoTechnology product
lines with Lucent. Included is an increase of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of
common stock and options to consultants, which totaled $1,010,895 for the year
ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $477,836 during the comparable period in
2003. Other components of the increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses were increases in payroll of approximately $461,226 to $953,602,
increase in the use of outside consultants of approximately $251,103 to
$987,720, marketing expenses such as trade shows of $30,148 to $40,347, and
advertising expenses of $20,439 to $21,948, all of which approximated $1,295,975
or 87% of the increase in spending. Net loss. mPhase recorded a net loss of $7,758,586 for the year ended June
30, 2004 as compared to a loss of $6,650,211 for the same period ended June 30,
2003. This represents a loss per common share of $(.10) in 2004 as compared to
$(.10) in 2003, based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of
77,677,120 and 65,217,088 during the periods ending June 30, 2004 and June 30,
2003 respectively. Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2003 vs. June 30, 2002 Revenue Total revenues were $1,581,639 for the year ended June 30, 2003 compared to
$2,582,446 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was attributable to
the continued slowing sales during fiscal year 2003 of the Company's POTS
Splitter product line, caused by the general downturn in the telecommunications
market, including customers that order component products from the Company. The
Company continues to believe that its line of POTS Splitter products is
positioned to be competitively priced with high reliability and connectivity,
and as such has the potential to be a significant part of DSL deployment
worldwide. The Company cannot say when the demand for telecommunication
equipment will resume. Cost of Revenues Cost of sales was $1,493,394 for the fiscal year ended June, 2003 as compared
to $2,415,219 in the prior period, representing 94% of gross revenues, for each
of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The margins have
contracted dramatically in the past two fiscal years as spending among the
telecommunications providers have contracted, coupled with downward pressures
related to the supply and demand of telecommunications products.
Research and Development Research and development expenses were $3,538,305 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2003 as compared to $3,819,583 during the comparable period in 2002; or
a decrease of $281,278. Such expenditures include $100,000 incurred with GTRC for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $450,000 during the comparable period in
2002. In addition, the Company incurred research and development expenses for
depreciation of test equipment located at Hart Telephone Company and at mPhase
of $839,735 and $845,783 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Other portions of research and development expenses include (a) a decrease of
research and development expenses incurred with Microphase by $322,640 to $428,434 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003
from $751,074 for the comparable period ended June 30,2002, (b) non cash
compensation of $385,495 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2003
compared to $267,338 for the same period ending June 30, 2002 and (c)
miscellaneous expenses of $143,024 and $298,227 for the periods ended June 30,
2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. The Company incurred increased charges with Lucent Technologies, Inc. in the
current year, totaling $1,112,500 incurred on development of the Broadcast
Television Switch for use with Lucent's Stinger DSL product, $437,500 incurred
for the cost reduction effort for mPhase's set top box. In addition, $75,000 was
incurred for software development associated with mPhase'siPOTS3 product,
as compared with $156,250 incurred in the year ended June 30, 2002. The elements contributing to the decrease in other research and development
expenses included a decrease in the operations of the Company's joint venture,
mPhase Television.net. The major costs incurred by the joint venture were
payroll expenses attributable to research and development of the Company's
transmission capabilities and acquisition of television content. Costs incurred
by the joint venture during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 were $232,334 as
compared to $62,352 for the period ended June 30, 2003. Additionally, this
decrease can be attributed to the Company abandoning certain research projects
on DSL components the Company believed were no longer commercially viable, this approximated $12,960 in fiscal 2003 compared
to $440,295 in fiscal 2002. The decrease in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the
Company's shift of capital expenditures from the Traverser DVDDS to the TV+
product. The Company's project with Lucent provides for cost reduction of the
INI set top box and other product enhancements as well as development of a
Broadcast Television Switch for use with Lucent's Stinger product. To date
expenses incurred with respect to the TV+ platform and development of the new
cost reduced set top box are $593,750, and $437,500 respectively for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2003. Research expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing
development of the Company's DSL component products, including the Company's
line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Company's newest products, the
iPOTS and the mPhase Stretch. We believe the mPhaseiPOTS offers a much needed solution for
the DSL industry; theiPOTS enables telecommunications service providers
to remotely and cost-effectively perform loop management and maintenance
including line testing, qualification and troubleshooting. Prior to the
introduction of theiPOTS loop management could not be remotely performed
through a conventional POTS Splitter without the use of expensive cross connects
or relay banks because of the mandatory DC blocking capacitors in traditional
POTS splitters, as required by various telephone protocol and regulatory
standards. The unique (patent pending)iPOTS circuit allows most test
heads to perform both narrow and wideband testing of the local loop through the
central office POTS Splitter without having to physically disconnect the POTS
Splitter, thereby eliminating the need to dispatch personnel and a truckroll.
The Company anticipates future demand for this product, as it significantly
reduces the cost of deploying and maintaining DSL services. Also recently
developed is the DSL loop extender product called mPhaseStretch. This product
extends the service distance for the mPhase Traverser and can be used in
conjunction with other DSL services. The Company believes there will be future
demand for the Stretch loop extender product as it addresses a primary issue in
DSL services. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses were $2,654,971 for the twelve-month
period ended on June 30, 2003 as compared to $6,490,373 for the same period
ended June 30, 2002. This represents a decrease of these expenses of $3,835,402,
or approximately 59% in fiscal 2003 as a percentage of these expenses in fiscal
2002. The decrease in administrative costs included a decrease of $1,696,771 in
non-cash changes for the issuance of options to consultants which totaled
$748,840 for the year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $2,445,561 during the
comparable period in 2002. The decrease also occurred as a result of the
reduction in workforce and the reduction in marketing expenses which the Company
began in Fiscal 2002 in response to the current contraction in the
telecommunications equipment market. Other components of the decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses included decreases in (a) executive
compensation and administrative payroll and related costs of approximately
$775,000, (b) marketing expenses such as trade shows of approximately $250,000,
(c) reductions in occupancy costs by approximately $290,000, (d) decreases in
shareholder services and related expenses by approximately $190,000, (e)
insurance and risk management costs by approximately $145,000 and (f) various
decreases in other administrative categories aggregating approximating $490,000.
The foregoing approximated reductions of general and administraive expenses
other than non-cash charges of $2,125,000 in the twelve months ended June 30,
2003 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2002. We do not expect this downward trend to continue, yet administrative expenses
are expected to remain at the current levels until the Company begins its
marketing effort to roll out its TV+ products in the second quarter, and at such
time we expect that selling and travel expenses will grow. Further when the
Company begins to implement and support its Television over DSL platforms then
administrative payroll and related costs will again rise as the Company will
need to add employees to its administrative workforce. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense was $515,417 in fiscal 2003 as compared
to $670,183 for 2002. These expenses decreased $154,766, or approximately 23% of
the prior years expense as a result of the Company's reduced need for and
outlays on capital expenditures in its two preceding fiscal years. We do not
expect such downward trend to continue but such depreciation and amortization
expense should remain at the current reduced levels until the Company commences
deployment of its Television over DSL platforms. We expect to increase capital
expenditures in connecting with the deployment of equipment at test sites with
various telecommunications service providers globally as deployment of our TV+
product progresses and such equipment will need to be depreciated or amortized,
as the case may be, that will result in increased depreciation at that time. Net Loss The Company recorded a net loss of $6,650,211 for the period ended June 30,
2003 as compared to a loss of $11,245,361 for the period ended June 30, 2002.
This represents a loss per common share of $.10 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2003 as compared to a loss per common share of $.23 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2002 based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of
65,217,088 and 49,617,280 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2002 vs. June 30, 2001 Revenue Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2002 decreased to $2,582,446 from
$10,524,134 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily
attributable to slowing sales of the Company's POTS Splitter product line,
caused by the general downturn in the telecommunications market, including among
customers that order component products from the Company. The Company continues
to believe that its line of POTS Splitter products is positioned to be
competitively priced with high reliability and connectivity, and as such has the
potential to be significant part of DSL deployment. The Company cannot predict
when the demand for telecommunication equipment will resume, however we do not
expect significant sales in the first two quarters of fiscal 2003. Cost of Revenues Cost of sales was $2,415,129 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to
$5,804,673 in the year ended June 30, 2001. Cost of revenues declined for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the prior period ending June 30,
2001 primarily because of decreased sales. Operating margins for the period
ended June 30, 2002 were 6%. The gross margins have varied dramatically as
spending among telecommunication providers has contracted, coupled with downward
pressures related to the supply and demand of telecommunications products. The
single most significant reason the margins decreased dramatically was due to the
reduced selling price of our POTS Splitter product. Discounts, consisting of 2%
of the amount invoiced if paid within 29 days of the invoice date, amounted to
$14,389 for the period ended June 30, 2002. Such discounts were offered to two
major customers that are leading telecommunications service providers. In each
case, the discount was offered to an existing customer to accelerate collections
in connection with a reorder of our POTS Splitter product and was treated as a
purchase discount to our customer, and the resultant reduction to net sales
lowered the gross margins in the period. Research and Development Research and development expenses were $3,819,583 for the year ended June 30,
2002 as compared to $10,779,570 in the year ended June 30, 2001. Such
expenditures include $450,000 incurred with GTRC for the year ended June 30,
2002 as compared to $3,814,000 during the comparable period in 2001. In addition
we incurred $1,212,594 with Microphase and additional expenses with other
strategic vendors for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $3,405,975
during the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in research and development expenses with
Microphase is due to the completion of the development of the POTS Splitter
product line. The decrease in research and development expense of approximately
$3.1 million is due to the termination of the Company's relationship with a
third party manufacturer, Flextronics, with whom the Company had incurred
substantial costs for prototypes and pre-manufacturing costs. The decrease in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the
Company's nearing completion of the design and manufacture of prototypes of the
set top box and the central office equipment associated with its Traverser
product in 2002. Generally, as the Company anticipates the completion of its
Traverser product, overall research and development expenses are expected to
decline, with variations based upon product cost reductions, product
enhancements, if any, when such are undertaken. Research expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing
development of the Company's DSL component products, including the Company's
line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Company's newest products, the
iPOTS and mPhase Stretch. We believe the mPhase iPOTS offers a much needed
solution for the DSL industry; the iPOTS enables telcos to remotely and
cost-effectively perform loop management and maintenance including line testing,
qualification and troubleshooting. Prior to the introduction of the iPOTS loop
management could not be remotely performed through a conventional POTS Splitter
without manual deployment of personnel. The unique (patent pending) iPOTS
circuit allows most test heads to perform both narrow and wideband testing of
the local telephone loop from a network operations center central office POTS
Splitter without having to physically disconnect the POTS Splitter, thereby
eliminating the need to dispatch personnel and a truckroll to either a central
office in the field or a customer premises. The Company believes there will be a
demand for this product, as it significantly reduces the cost of deploying and
maintaining DSL services. Also recently developed is the DSL loop extender
product called mPhaseStretch. This product extends the service distance for the
mPhase Traverser and can be used in conjunction with other DSL services. The Company believes there will be demand for the Stretch loop extender
product as it extends the reach of delivery of television and data over DSL. General And Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,490,373
for the year ended June 30, 2002 down from $16,150,711 for the comparable period
in 2001. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative costs included
a decrease of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and
options to consultants, which totaled $2,445,561 for the year ended June 30,
2002 as compared to $6,227,552 during the comparable period in 2001. The
decrease also occurred as a result of the reduction in workforce in Fiscal 2002
and the reduction in marketing expenses in Fiscal 2002 in response to the current contraction in
the telecommunications equipment market. Other components of the decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses were a substantial decrease in
payroll of approximately $1,100,000 to $450,000, use of outside consultants of
approximately $870,000 to $70,000, marketing expenses such as trade shows of
$1,200,000 to $270,000, and advertising expenses of $415,000 to $13,000, all of
which approximated $2,800,000. Net Loss mPhase recorded a net loss of $11,245,361 for the year ended
June 30, 2002 as compared to a loss of $23,998,734 for the same period ended
June 30, 2001. This represents a loss per common share of $(.23) in 2002 as
compared to $(.72) in 2001, based upon weighted average common shares
outstanding of 49,617,280 and 33,436,641 during the periods ending June 30, 2002
and June 30, 2001, respectively. Nine Months Ended March 31, 2005 vs. March 31, 2004 Revenue Total revenues were $1,039,003 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005
compared to $4,335,476 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 representing a
decrease of $3,296,473. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in
sales of the Company's Pots Splitter product line. The Company continues to
believe that its line of Pots Splitter products is positioned to be
competitively priced with high reliability and connectivity, and as such has the
potential to be a significant part of DSL deployment worldwide. The Company has
experienced declines during each quarter of fiscal year 2004 that has continued
into the first half of fiscal year 2005. The Company cannot predict if the
downturn in sales of its Pots Splitter line will continue going forward.
Cost of Revenues Cost of sales were $823,217 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as
compared to $3,878,389 in the prior period, representing 79% of gross revenues
for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 which ended March 31, 2005 and 89% for
the nine months of fiscal 2004 which ended March 31, 2004, respectively. Our
gross margins have been very volatile over the past three years as spending
among the telecommunications providers has contracted, coupled with downward
pressures related to the supply and demand of telecommunications products.
Margins for the first nine months of fiscal 2005, which ended March 31, 2005,
increased by 10% over the margins for the same period ended March 31, 2004 due
to better cost of materials used in the Pots Splitter product line. We are
unable to determine whether such increase in margins will continue for the
remainder of fiscal year 2005. Research and Development Research and development expenses were $3,820,128 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared $2,858,375 during the comparable
period in 2004, or an increase of $961,413. This increase consisted of increased
spending in the Company's Nanotechnology battery products of approximately
$500,000, and approximately $200,000 incurred in connection with commencement of
research of the Company's new Magnetometer product both contracted with Lucent
Technologies Inc. This increase was partially offset by a reduction
of expenses incurred with Microphase Corporation for Research and Development.
The Company does, expect to increase such level of expenditures for research
and development costs during the remainder of fiscal year 2005 and into fiscal
year 2006. In order to broaden and diversify its current line of business into
additional high growth technology areas, the Company entered into a Development
Agreement, effective February 3, 2004, with the Bell Labs division of Lucent
Technologies, Inc. to commercialize the use of nano power cell technology. Under
the terms of the $1.2 million contract, Lucent/Bell Labs will develop for mPhase
micro-power source arrays fabricated using nanotextured, superhydrophobic
materials. This new business arrangement with Lucent Bell Labs will give mPhase
the opportunity to develop and offer breakthrough battery technology
applications, initially to government market segments including defense and
homeland security, and ultimately to the commercial market. The initial
applications for the nano power cell technology will address the need to supply
emergency and reserved power to a wide range of electronic devices for the
defense department. In addition the Company entered into a Second Amendment to
its Development Agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc effective September 20,
2004 for Development of Release 3.0 of its TV+ product which is expected to be
completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. The contracts call for
payments totaling $1,536,680 payable in project milestones of $158.6 thousand
each over the contract. As of March 31, 2005 the Company has made payments of
approximately $2,000,000 under such contract with an aggregate of $784,000 remaining in
5
equal payments. In addition the Company anticipates additional development cost
to be incurred during fiscal year 2005 of approximately $1,200,000 for
software from other vendors and other development of its Release 3.0 of its TV+
product. Research expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing
development of the Company's DSL component products, including the Company's
line of pots Splitters and microfilters and the Company's newest products, theipotsand
the mPhase stretch. We believe the mPhaseipotsoffers a much-needed
solution for the DSL industry; theipotsenables telcos to remotely and
cost-effectively perform loop management and maintenance including line testing,
qualification and troubleshooting. Prior to the introduction of theipots,
loop management could not be remotely performed without manual intervention. The
unique (patent pending) ipotscircuit allows most test heads to perform
both narrow and wideband testing of the local loop through the central office
Pots splitter without having to physically disconnect the Pots splitter, thereby
eliminating the need to dispatch personnel and a truckroll. On November 23,
2004, the Company announced the first sale of its IPOTS3 product to a European
broadband networking company. The Company anticipates future demand for this product, as it significantly reduces the cost of deploying and
maintaining DSL services General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,416,357 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2005 up from $2,196,052 or an increase of $3,220,305
from the comparable period in 2004. The increase in the selling, general and
administrative costs is comprised primarily of non-cash charges relating to the
issuance of common stock and options to consultants and officers of the Company,
which totaled $2,582,148 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to
$785,740 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2004 resulting in an
increase of $1,796,408. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses is also attributable to $181,721 of expenses associated with
adjustments of offering prices of certain of the private placements completed in
fiscal year 2005. Additionally sales and technical sales associates compensation
and fringe costs increased approximately $675,000, travel expenses increased by
approximately $52,000 and increased
spending in advertising, trade shows and marketing and resulting expenses
amounted to an aggregate of approximately $180,000. We expect sales and travel expenses to
grow as the Company's approaches the deployment of its TV+ products in the
future.
Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense was $193,650 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2005, up from $100,883, or an increase of $92,767 from the comparable
period in 2004. . We expect such upward trend to continue but such depreciation
and amortization expense should remain at the current reduced levels until the
Company commences deployment of its television over DSL platforms. We expect to
increase capital expenditures in connecting with the deployment of equipment at
test sites with various telecommunications service providers globally as
deployment of our TV+ product progresses. Net Loss The Company recorded a net loss of $9,484,240 for the nine months ended March
31, 2005 as compared to a loss of $4,899,771 for the nine months ended March 31,
2004. This represents a loss per common share of $.09 for the nine month period
ended March 31, 2005 as compared to a loss per common share of $.07 for the nine
months ending March 31, 2004, based upon weighted average common shares
outstanding of 101,062,839 and 75,312,435 during the periods ended March 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. Although it is difficult to predict the exact timing of additional material
deployments of its TV+ product, the Company believes that significant revenue is
not expected until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, which along with any
upturn of spending in the telephone industry, will also increase sales and
improve the Company's operating margins and provide the Company with the
opportunity to attain profitability sometime in fiscal year 2006. The Outlook for the Company's Flagship Product The Company believes significant deployments and resultant
revenues of its Flagship product the TV+ IPTV solution are not expected until
the second half of fiscal year 2006, which, if accompanied by a material upturn
in spending in the telephone industry could lead to increased sales and improve
the Company's margins and provide the Company with the opportunity to become
profitable. Research and Development Activities mPhase throughout its history has outsourced its research and development
activity with respect to both of its TV platforms as well as its POTS splitter
products. GTARC has conducted a significant amount of research and development
for mPhase pursuant to a research agreement comprised of a series of delivery
orders, which outline the timing, necessary actions and form of payment for
specific tasks related to the completion of certain components of the DVDDS
legacy product. Microphase has performed research and development for mPhase
with respect to certain component DSL products such as the iPOTS products, low
pass filters and POTS Splitters and the legacy DVDDS product. Most recently,
mPhase has engaged Lucent for development of Version 3.0 of its TV+ product and
for development of a new extended shelf life battery using nanotechnology. For the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and for the period since
inception (October 2, 1996) to June 30, 2004, approximately $4,069,721,
$3,538,305, $3,819,583 and $38,416,800, respectively, has been billed to mPhase
for research and development conducted by Lucent Technologies, Inc, Microphase
Corporation and GTARC. With the completion of the DVDDS legacy product, the
Company has shifted its research and development from GTARC to Lucent
Technologies Inc. The Company has recently expanded its research and development
efforts with Lucent Technologies to the NanoTechnology business segment. The
Company incurred research and development expenses with Lucent for fiscal years
ended June 30, 2004, June 30, 2003 and 2002 of $2,328,602, $1,112,500 and
$156,250, respectively. In February of 2004, the Company and GTRC entered into a final agreement to
convert approximately $1.8 million in payables outstanding to GTRC and exchange
mutual releases in consideration for the issuance to GTRC of a Warrant (which
may be exercised on a cashless basis) to purchase 5,069,242 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $.35 per share. In January of 2005, GTRC
exercised its cashless warrant and received 4,949,684 shares of common stock
based upon a formula, which took into account the then current value of the Company's common stock. In addition the, under the terms of the final
settlement, the Company was obligated to pay GTRC a total of $100,000 in
quarterly installments payments commencing at the end of March of 2004 which is
currently the subject of a renegotiation of the parties downward as the Company
reexamines the need to continue to maintain certain patent protection for the
TraverserDVDDS. Under the terms of its license from GTRC mPhase is the sole,
worldwide licensee of the technology developed by GTARC in conjunction with the
legacy DVDDS product. Upon completion of the legacy DVDDS product, GTRC may
receive a royalty of up to 5% of product sales. The amount of research and development costs the Company has expended from
October 2, 1996, its inception date, through June 30, 2004 is $38,416,800.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred research and
development expenses of $4,069,721 related to the continued development of its
current TV+, IPOTS3 products plus exploratory development of certain
nanotechnology battery product as compared to $3,538,305 for the year
ended June 30, 2003. Research and development expensed were $3,820,128 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2005 as compared to $2,858,715 during the comparable period in 2004 or
an increase of $961,413. The increased expenditures represented and
expansion of contract R&D activities, consisting of approximately $500,000 in
increased spending on Nanotechnology and approximately $200,000 in the start up
of Magnetometer Research and Development. The balance of the increase is
attributal to increased TV+ Version 3.0 spending. Strategic Alliances Implemented The Company has entered into a Co-Branding Agreement with Lucent for its
redesigned cost reduced INI set top box as part of its TV+ product solution. In
addition, pursuant to a Systems Integration Agreement with Lucent, the Company
has been designated as the exclusive worldwide reseller of the Lucent Stinger
when bundled as part of the mPhase TV+ product.
Critical Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition All revenue included in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations for all periods presented relates to sales of mPhase's POTS Splitter
Shelves and DSL component products. As required, mPhase has adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements", which provides guidelines on applying generally accepted
accounting principals to revenue recognition based upon the interpretations and
practices of the SEC. The Company recognizes revenue for its POTS Splitter Shelf
and other DSL component products at the time of shipment, at which time, no
other significant obligations of the Company exist, other than normal warranty
support. The deferred revenues balance recorded on the Balance Sheet for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2005 is made up of three customer deposits consisting of
$214,180 in the aggregate for the POTS product. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS"), No.2,
"Accounting for Research and Development Cost." Income Taxes mPhase accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in
accordance with SFAS No.109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax
rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the
enactment date. Because of the uncertainty as to their future realizability, net
deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards,
have been fully reserved for. Accordingly, no income tax benefit for the net
operating loss has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Utilization of net operating losses generated through March 31, 2005 may be
limited due to "changes in control" of our common stock that occurred. Stock-based Compensation Financial Accounting Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation, encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation
cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has
chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation for grants to
employees using the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as
the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the
date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The
Company has adopted the "disclosure only" alternative described in SFAS 123 and
SFAS 148, which require pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per
share as if the fair value method of accounting had been applied. The Company accounts for non-employee stock based awards in
which goods or services are the consideration received for the equity
instruments issued based on the fair value of the consideration received or the
fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more readily
determinable. Inventory Reserve and Valuation Allowance The Company carries its inventory at the lower of cost, determined on a
first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventory consists mainly of the Company's
POTS Splitter Shelf and Filters. In determining the lower of cost or market, the
Company periodically reviews and estimates a valuation allowance to reserve for
technical obsolescence and marketability. The allowance represents management's
assessment and reserve for the technical obsolescence based upon the
inter-operability of its component products, primarily filters and splitters,
with presently deployed and next generation DSL infrastructures as well as a
reserve for marketability based upon current prices and the overall demand for
the individual inventory items. Material changes in either the technical
standards of future DSL deployments or further erosion in the demand for
deployments of DSL infrastructures could affect the estimates and assumptions
resulting in the amounts reported. The allowance represents management's
assessment and reserve for the technical obsolescence based upon the
inter-operability of its component products, primarily filters and splitters,
with presently deployed and next generation DSL infrastructures as well as a
reserve for marketability based upon current prices and the overall demand for
the individual inventory items. Material changes in either the technical standards of future
DSL deployments or further erosion in the demand for deployments of DSL
infrastructures could affect the estimates and assumptions resulting in the
amounts reported. The allowance is estimated as the difference between inventory
at historical cost, on a first in first out basis, and market based upon
assumptions about future demand, current prices and product liability, and
charged to the provision for inventory, which is a component of cost of sales.
At the point the historical cost is adjusted, a lower cost-basis for that
inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do
not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company
reserved approximately $98,000, approximately $302,000, and approximately
$928,000, respectively, for technical obsolescence and marketability based upon
current prices and overall demand and charged a like amount to expense,
representing 5.9% of average inventory, at cost, of approximately $1,671,000 on
hand during the period in fiscal 2004; 8.4% of average inventory, at cost, of
approximately $3,588,000 on hand during the period in fiscal 2003; and 13.6% of
average inventory, at cost, of approximately $4,602,000 on hand during fiscal
2002. The reserve and corresponding charges in fiscal 2002 were increased as the
Company experienced a dramatic decrease, along with the entire telephonic
industry, in demand for our component products in addition to the decision to
table the production of certain product line items built on certain European
standards and which the Company does not expect to pursue in the near future. As
of June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a cost adjustment of approximately
$86,902, recognizing permanent cost reductions due to price adjustments
approximating $11,212 and reductions due to obsolescence resulting from a lack
of inter-operability of certain components in inventory with the Company's
present product line approximating $11,212. As a result on June 30, 2004 the
Company had a total inventory valuation reserve of $388,235 against its
inventory with a total balance, at cost, of $1,627,207, or 24%. If there was to
be a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products, or if there
were a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing
technology and customer requirements, we could be required to increase our
inventory allowances and our gross margins could be adversely affected. Material Related Party Transactions The Company records material related party transactions. The Company incurs
costs for engineering, design and production of prototypes and certain
administrative functions from Microphase Corporation and the purchase of product
components and finished goods, primarily consisting of DSL splitter shelves and
filters, from Janifast Limited. Directors that are significant shareholders of
Janifast Limited include Messrs Ronald A. Durando, Gustave T. Dotoli, and Necdet
F. Ergul. Mr. Abraham Biderman is a Managing Director or Eagle Advisers, an investment
banking firm, which has earned finder's fees and reimbursement expense of $514,000 in connection with
raising approximately $4,950,000 during the 9 months ended March 31, 2005 and
$253,500 in connection with raising approximately $2,600,000 in June and July
2005. Mr. Biderman, and Mr. Anthony Guerino own a relatively small amount of
stock, warrants and options in mPhase Technologies, Inc. The Company has also incurred charges for beta testing and on-site marketing,
including the display of a live working model at Hart Telephone. In addition,
the Company has entered into a supply agreement with Hart Telephone, which may
commence upon the commercial production of Version 3.0 of the TV+ solution. A
member of mPhase's Board of Directors, Mr. Michael McInerney who resigned on
April 29, 2005, is employed by Lintel, Inc., the parent corporation of Hart
Telephone. Mr. Durando, the President and CEO of mPhase, owns a controlling interest and
is a director and COB of Janifast Limited. Mr. Durando and Mr. Dotoli are
officers of Microphase Corporation. Mr. Dotoli is also a shareholder of Janifast
Limited. Mr. Ergul, the chairman of the board of mPhase, owns a controlling interest and is a director of Microphase
Corporation and is a director and shareholder of Janifast Limited. Microphase,
Janifast, Hart Telephone and Lintel Corporation are significant shareholders of
mPhase. Microphase, Janifast and Hart Telephone have converted significant
liabilities to equity in fiscal years June 30, 2001, 2002, 2003 and in the current
fiscal year. Management believes the amounts charged to the Company by Microphase, Janifast, mPhase Television.Net and Hart Telephone are commensurate
to amounts that would be incurred if outside parties were used. The Company
believes Microphase, Janifast and Hart Telephone have the ability to fulfill
their obligations to the Company without further support from the Company. Mr. Durando's June 30, 2004 note payable balance of $300,00 was repaid by the
Company during the nine month period ending March 31, 2005. During the nine month
period, Mr. Durando made additional bridge loans to the Company evidenced by
various 12% demand notes in the aggregate of $525,000. Mr. Durando was repaid a total of
$450,000 of such loans in January of 2005. In addition, Mr. Durando converted
$13,954 of the principal amount of a $75,000 promissory note leaving unpaid
principal of $61,046 outstanding. Mr. Durando converted $13,000 of accrued and
unpaid interest on various promissory notes of the Company into 65,000 shares of
common stock and a 5 year warrant to purchase a like amount of common stock at
$.25 per share.
During the nine month period ended March 31, 2005 Mr. Dotoli and Mr. Smiley, the
COO and CFO and General Counsel of the Company respectively, each lent the
Company $75,000. Mr. Dotoli was repaid the principal amount of such loan, in
cash, in January of 2005 and Mr. Smiley converted his $75,000 loan into 375,000
shares of common stock of the Company plus a 5 year warrant to purchase a like
amount of shares at $.25 per share. In addition, Mr. Smiley converted $9,975 of
accrued interest into 49,875 shares of common stock plus a 5 year warrant to
purchase a like amount of shares at $.25 per share. Finally Mr. Smiley received
25,000 additional shares of common stock as a market adjustment to his equity
investment of $25,000 on August 30, 2004. Mr. Dotoli cancelled $3,750 of accrued
and unpaid interest from August 15, 2004 through January 15, 2005 into 375,000
shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of a portion of a warrant that was
exercised at $.01 per share previously given by the Company to Mr. Dotoli in
exchange for and cancellation of unpaid compensation. Significant charges from related parties are summarized for
the periods enumerated as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
From inception (October 2, 1996) through March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004 the Company has incurred cumulative (a) development stage losses and has an accumulated deficit of $125,529,323 and $115,775,083 respectively and (b) negative cash flow from operations of $54,120,374 and $47,842,742 respectively. The auditors report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 includes the statement that "there is substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern". Management estimates that the Company needs to raise approximately $5-10 million during the next 12 months to continue operations. As of March 31, 2005, June 30, 2004,and June 30, 2003, the Company had a negative net worth of $2,537,180 , $2,917,962 and $3,228,886 respectively..
At June 30, 2004 mPhase had working capital deficit of $2,111,452 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,405,331 at June 30, 2003. Through June 30, 2004, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling $115,775,083. At June 30, 2004, the Company had $90,045 of cash and cash equivalents and $64,100 of net accounts receivables to fund short-term working capital requirements. At March 31, 2005 mPhase had working capital deficit of $2,332,278 as compared to working capital deficit of $2,111,452 at June 30, 2004. At March 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $237,828 of cash, cash equivalents and approximately $354,903 of trade receivables to fund short- term working capital requirements. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its products.
Historically, mPhase has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily through private placements of common stock.
Management expects that its ongoing financial needs will be provided by financing activities and believes that the sales of its line of POTS Splitter products and other related DSL component products will provide some offset to cash flow used in operations, although there can be no assurance as to the level and growth rate of such sales in future periods as seen with quarter to quarter fluctuations in component sales. At June 30, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $90,045 compared to $396,860 at June 30, 2003, net accounts receivable of $64,100 and net inventory of $1,237,972. This compared to $287,135 of net accounts receivable and $2,103,328 of net inventory at June 30, 2003. At March 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $237,828 compared to $90,045 at June 30, 2004, accounts receivable of $354,903 and inventory of $862,963. This compared to $64,100 of accounts receivable and $1,237,972 of inventory at June 30, 2004.
Cash used in operating activities was $6,277,632 during the nine months ending March 31, 2005. The cash used by operating activities principally consists of the net loss, and significant changes in assets and liabilities, including additional cash provided by increasing accounts payable and accrued expenses by approximately $935,203 offset by depreciation and amortization of $193,650, and by non-cash charges of $2,763,861 for common stock options and warrants issued for officer compensation and services and offset by cash outflow from an increase in inventory of approximately $160,209. The Company expects that it will not have a need to increase inventory significantly until the roll out of our TV+ platform.
The Company has entered into various agreements with GTARC, pursuant to which the Company receives technical assistance in developing the Digital Video and Data Delivery System. The Company has incurred expenses in connection with technical assistance from GTARC totaling approximately $0 and $0, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $13,539,932 from the period from inception through March 31, 2005.
In February of 2004, the Company and GTRC entered into a final agreement to
convert approximately $1.8 million in payables outstanding to GTRC and exchange
mutual releases in consideration for the issuance to GTRC of a Warrant (which
has been exercised on a cashless basis in February of 2005) resulting in the
issuance of 4,949,684 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $.35 per
share. In addition the Company was obligated to pay GTRC a total of $100,000 in
quarterly installments payments commencing at the end of March of 2004 that is
currently the subject of a renegotiation downward as the Company reexamines its
need to maintain certain patents with respect to the Traverser DVDDS product..
mPhase is the sole, worldwide licensee of the technology developed by GTARC in
conjunction with the Traverser DVDDS product line. Upon completion of the
commercial product, GTRC may receive a royalty of up to 5% of product sales. Effective June 30, 2001 the Company converted $2,420,039 of liabilities due
to directors and related parties into 4,840,077 shares of the Company's common
stock pursuant to debt conversion agreements. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 certain strategic vendors and
related parties converted approximately $2.7 million of accounts payable and
accrued expenses into 7,492,996 shares of the Company's common stock and
5,953,490 warrants. Such vendors include Microphase Corporation, Janifast, Ltd.,
and Piper Rudnick LLP, mPhase's outside counsel. During the twelve months ending June 30, 2003, certain strategic vendors and
related parties converted approximately $1.9 million of accounts payable and
accrued expenses into 5,923,333 shares of the Company's common stock and
warrants to purchase 3,706,800 shares of common stock of mPhase. During the twelve months ending June 30, 2004, certain
strategic vendors and related parties converted approximately 1,963,202 million
of accounts payable and accrued expenses into 110,467 shares of the Company's
common stock and warrants to purchase 5,069,242 shares of common stock of mPhase.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2005, certain
strategic vendors and related parties converted approximately $960,000
of accounts payable and accrued expenses into 3,437,271 shares of the Company's
common stock and warrants to purchase 3,439,975 shares of common stock of mPhase.
As of December 31, 2004, mPhase is obligated to pay Lucent Technologies,
Inc., the sum of $784,000 in 5 payments of $156,800 each against project
milestones under its current Development Agreement for development of Version
3.0 of its TV+ product. In addition, the Company is obligated to make payments
of $100,000 per month through December of 2004 under a separate Development
Agreement with Lucent covering development of its new battery developed through
the science of NanoTechnology. The Company does, however, expect an increase in research and development
costs beginning in February, 2005 with the expansion of its research and
development efforts with Lucent Technologies Inc in the science of
Nanotechnology commencing with a renewal for an additional 12 months of a $1.2
million contract with Lucent to continue work on its nano power cell technology
and the entering of a second Research and Development Agreement in March of 2005
to develop a Magnetometer product through the science of Nanotechnology for an
additional $1.2 million contract for 12 months. In order to broaden and
diversify its current line of business into additional high growth technology
areas, the Company has previously entered into a Development Agreement,
effective February 3, 2004, with the Bell labs division of Lucent Technologies,
Inc. to commercialize the use of nano power cell technology. Under the terms of
the $1.2 million contract, Lucent/ Bell Labs will develop for mPhase micro-power
source arrays fabricated using nanotextured, superhydrophobic materials. This
new business arrangement with Lucent Bell Labs will give mPhase the opportunity
to develop and offer breakthrough battery technology applications, initially to
government market segments including defense and homeland security, and
ultimately to the commercial market. The initial applications for the nano power
cell technology will address the need to supply emergency and reserved power to
a wide range of electronic devices for the defense department. The Company has no commitments from affiliates or related parties to provide
additional financing. The Company has, from time to time, been able to obtain
financing from affiliates when conditions in the capital markets make third
party financing difficult to obtain or when external financing is available only
upon very unattractive terms to the Company, and when such capital has been
available from the affiliates. As a result, conversions of Debt with related
parties and strategic vendors during the periods enumerated is a follows:

Such amount is payable in 8 installments of $158,600 each against 7 project milestones all of which are expected to be completed during fiscal year 2005.
Effective February 3, 2004, the Company became obligated to pay a total of $1.2 million to Lucent Technologies Inc. under a new Development Agreement in installments of $100,000 per month for a period of 12 months to develop a micro power source array using nanotextured superhydrophobic materials This Agreement was extended in February of 2005 for an additional 12 months for a total of $1.2 million to Lucent Technologies, Inc. payable in installments of $100,000 per month.
Effective August 30, 2004, the Company successfully renegotiated its payment agreement originally entered into in March of 2002 with Piper&Rudnick LLC, its outside counsel to cure all past arrearages owed under the original payment agreement. On August 30, 2004, the Company paid Piper & Rudnick LLC the sum of $100,000 cash and agreed to make future payments of $25,000 each on December 1, 2004, March 1, 2005, June 1, 2005, September 1, 2005 with a payment of $50,000 on December 1, 2005 and payments of $25,000 each on March 1, 2006, June 1, 2006, September 1, 2006 and a final payment of $75,000 on December 1, 2006. In addition, the Company issued a 5 year cashless warrant for 750,000 shares of its common stock valued at $.25 per share. The common stock in which such warrant is convertible into is being registered hereunder on this Form S-1 (See Selling Shareholders list on page 65) and could be sold in the open market (see Risk Factor on Page 8 hereof). In addition, Piper Rudnick LLC holds a cashless warrant covering 2,233,490 shares of its common stock that was originally issued as part of its original payment agreement in March of 2002 which shares are being registered as part of this Registration Statement filed on form S-1 by the Company (see Selling Shareholders).
Effective February 18, 2004 of fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, GTRC agreed to convert approximately $1.8 million of aggregate invoices for work performed for the Company in development of its TraverserDVDDS product into a 5 year cashless warrant to purchase5,069,200 shares of the Company's common stock or stock valued at $.35 per share.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 the Company was able to negotiate extended payment terms for overdue accounts payable with strategic vendors. These obligations are now classified as notes payable and included in current and long-term portions of notes payable in the accompanying balance sheets, based upon the revised payment terms. The Company believes they can maintain its present repayment schedule, or otherwise renegotiate such terms that are satisfactory to the Company and these vendors.
We have evaluated our cash requirements for fiscal year 2005 and beyond based upon certain assumptions, including our ability to raise additional working capital from equity financing and increased sales of our POTS Splitter. The Company anticipated that it would need to raise, at a minimum, approximately $5-10 million primarily in private placement of its common stock with accredited investors, in the current fiscal year. As of March 31, 2005, the Company has raised in the current fiscal year approximately $ 7 million. In addition, as of August 5, 2005, the Company has raised an additional $3.2 million in a Private Placement of equity units at $.20 per share consisting of one share of common stock plus a 5 year warrant for an additional share of common stock at $.25 per share.
Management believes that the $5-10 million to be raised, in new Private Placements in the capital markets, will be sufficient to cover its current operating expenses and permit the company to maintain its present operational levels. This amount may be supplemented with additional funds that could be received from investors, including selling shareholders' listed in this prospectus, currently holding warrants to purchase up to a total of approximately 16.4 million shares of common stock at exercise prices of $.25 per share which may trade "in the money" and can be exercised during the next 12 months; the likelihood and potential for which may increase should this prospectus become effective and should the price of the Company's common stock rise.
Should these cash flows not be available to us, we believe we would have the ability to revise our operating plan and make certain further reductions in expenses, so that our resources which were available at June 30, 2004, plus financing to be secured during fiscal year 2005, and expected POTS splitter revenues, will be sufficient to meet our obligations until the end of fiscal year 2005 and for the last quarter of fiscal year 2005. We have continued to experience operating losses and negative cash flows. To date, we have funded our operations with a combination of component sales, debt conversions with related parties and strategic vendors, and private equity offerings. Management believes that we will be able to secure the necessary financing in the short-term to fund our operations into our next fiscal year. However, failure to raise additional funds, or generate significant cash flows through revenues, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.
The December 31, 2004 outstanding receivable balance of $50,000 was fully collected in January of 2005 . Additionally, the December 2004 private placement was closed out in January of 2005 with the placement of an additional 3,600,000 equity units at $.20 per unit consisting of one share of common stock plus 5 year warrants for a like amount of shares with a strike price of $.25 per share. This generated net proceeds of $720,000 to the Company.
A January Private Placement realized additional net proceeds of $357,250 upon issuance of 1,793,750 shares of Common Stock at $.20 per share plus 5 year warrants to purchase 1,793,750 shares of Common Stock at $.25 per share. A later Private Placement realized net proceeds of $1,351,000 upon issuance of 4,920,000 shares of Common Stock plus 5 year warrants to purchase 4,920,000 shares of Common Stock at $.25 per share. A March Private Placement resulted in the realization of net proceeds of $1,217,000 upon issuance of 4,396,667 shares of Common Stock at $.30 per share plus 5 year warrants to purchase 4,396,667 shares of Common Stock at $.30 per share
On January 15, 2005, Martin Smiley converted a $ 100, 000 convertible note payable from the Company in exchange for 400,000 shares and a like number of warrants that were price at $25 per unit or $100,000 in aggregate.
Also in January of 2005, Martin Smiley was awarded additional compensation of 400,000 shares of common stock. This award will result in a charge to General and Administrative non-cash expense in the amount of $ 131,750 in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, representing an expense recognition consistent with the market price of that stock of $.35 on the date of that award.
In late February and early March of 2005, the Company converted approximately $173,898 in accounts payable due various vendors into 535,296 shares of common stock aggregating $183,310 in full settlement of those obligations.
During the months of January, February and March of 2005, the Company raised a total of $2,759,000 in two Private Placements pursuant to Section 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 with approximately 21 Accredited Investors. The proceeds received from such placements is being used by the Company for general corporate purposes including working capital and the payment of Research and Development Expenses primarily to Lucent Technologies Inc. in connection with the continuing development of the Company's TV+ and Nanotechnology fuel cell products. The Company is focusing upon a dual strategy of maximizing sales from its new cutting edge products and continued development of such products to achieve maximum returns to its shareholders as a high growth technology enterprise.
On February 28, 2005, the Company announced that it will collaborate with Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, on broadening of its nanotechnology based battery to include chemistries such as Lithium as well as the Zinc and Manganese Dioxide chemistries that it is developing through the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies Inc. The agreement with Rutgers is contingent upon obtaining federal and state funding for the project.
BUSINESS
Overview
We develop, market and sell innovative IPTV and DSL broadband telecommunications equipment. Our main focus is developing the most cost effective products to enable telecommunications service providers to deliver digital quality television (together with data and voice) over its existing infrastructure that may consist of copper, fiber, coax or some combination thereof. The primary markets for mPhase's television delivery products are regions of the world outside of the United State that do not have coaxial fiber infrastructure capable of delivering a large number of digital broadcast television channels. Therefore our television products are targeted primarily for International markets outside of the United States.
On February 3, 2004, mPhase entered into the emerging area of NanoTechnology as a new and second line of business with its execution of a new Research and Development Agreement with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. NanoTechnology involves the synthetic assembly of new structures and materials at the molecular level. NanoTechnology has many potential applications including in industries such as biotechnology, semi conductors and power cells and sensors. The Company is initially focusing its efforts in developing new power cells and sensors NanoTechnology products designed for military applications.
Outsourcing
The Company practices an outsourcing model whereby it contracts with third party vendors to perform certain functions rather than performing those functions internally. For instance, mPhase out sources its research of both its TV+ product and exploratory research of micro electro mechanical systems development and its exploratory development of power source array fabrication using nanotextured superhydrophobic materials to the Bell Labs division of Lucent Tecnologies Inc.. It also out sources analog engineering development and certain administrative functions to Microphase Corporation and manufacturing of its POTS Splitter product to Janifast Ltd.
We currently have no contracts in place for the manufacturing of our products with either Microphase Corporation or Janifast Ltd. or any other non-affiliated third party manufacturers. We periodically execute purchase orders for the manufacture of quantities of POTS Splitters that are made by Janifast Ltd.
With respect to manufacturing of its IPTV TV+ solution, mPhase is targeting leading contract manufacturing companies with strategically located facilities globally with which it can establish long-term relationships. By using contract manufacturers, mPhase will attempt to avoid the substantial capital investments required for internal production. Janifast Ltd. has produced and delivered 1000 set top boxes to a major Russian telecommunication service provider in connection with the initial deployment of the Company's TV+ solution.
The Company has entered into various Project Development Agreements with Lucent Technologies, Inc in fiscal years 2004 and 2005 described above, as well as other significant agreements that include a Co-Branding Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2003, allowing the Company to add the Lucent name and Logo to its cost-reduced INI set top box for use with its TV+ products. Such agreement is for an initial period of one year and is subject to renewal on an annual basis by mutual consent. In addition, the Company has entered into a Systems Integrator Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2003 designating the Company as a reseller of the Lucent Stinger DSL transport product when bundled as part of the mPhase TV+ platform globally. Such agreement gives mPhase the exclusive right to sell the TV+ product worldwide containing the Lucent Stinger as the DSL transport mechanism for delivering broadcast television, high speed data and voice over copper telephone wires. In order to qualify for such status, as an accredited reseller, Lucent Technologies, Inc. determined that the Company's TV+ solution added significant value to the Stinger DSL product by enabling such product to deliver broadcast television using internet protocol in addition to the Stinger's well known existing world-class capabilities for the delivery of voice and high-speed data over copper telephone lines. Such agreement is for an initial two year term provided that either party may cancel such agreement with 60 days' notice to the other party.
As a member of the Lucent Business Partner organization, mPhase is able to leverage established relationships with an existing Stinger customer base without having to expand its sales force. To date there are approximately 4 million ports of the Stinger deployed around the world some of which may represent potential future deployments and upgrades for the IPTV TV+ solution. mPhase and the Lucent Global Business Partners group are also targeting other Business partners in markets where there currently is a lack of cable television infrastructure.
mPhase also develops and designs component DSL products including Plain Old Telephone Service Splitters (POTS Splitters) and low pass filters. Since its inception in 1996, virtually all of mPhase's sales revenue has been derived from the sales of POTS Splitters and other DSL component products. mPhase's product line also includes its intelligent line of POTS Splitter product known as the Broadband Loop Watch. This is a device which allows telecommunications service providers to perform DSL loop qualification from a central office without having to deploy workers to the field.
Industry Background
The Company believes there is a significant market for its latest TV+ solution for the delivery of IPTV. Telephone companies worldwide need to deliver a combination of services (i.e., voice, television and data) in order to reverse negative economic trends of reduced margins and customers. The multichannel television business is a growing industry. Much of the world is largely underserved, with little access to digital television programming. Cable, outside the US and pockets of Europe, is in the early stages of deployment. In fact, according to Kagan World Media, the percent of television-owning households subscribing to multichannel television services outside of North America in 2002 was only 36%. The mPhaseTV+ solution empowers telecommunications service providers to (a) capitalize upon this growing revenue-generating segment and (b) be able to compete more effectively with other technologies, such as cable where installed, and direct broadcast satellite (DBS) services.
We believe the incentive for telephone companies to deploy advanced digital services is significant. The traditional revenue model for telecommunications service providers is shifting as fixed line calling revenues are continuing to decline with the advent of as wireless telephony and voice delivered over the Internet. Traditional telephone companies can no longer rely on a captured market and need to offer new, revenue-generating services in order to maintain or increase profitability and by offering new services to their customers.
Cable television providers are also beginning to offer cable telephony and cable modems for high-speed Internet service, in addition to their traditional multichannel television services. Additionally, in the U.S., direct broadcast satellites providers (DBS) are upgrading to two-way satellite communication to provide data services. In more advanced markets, these technologies have converged, leaving telephone, cable and direct satellite television providers competing for the same customers and the same dollars.
mPhase's flagship TV+ solution enables telephone companies and other communications service providers utilizing twisted pair telephone wires or any other existing infrastructure to respond to these competitive threats and immediately offer fully integrated broadband service packages to their subscribers. Importantly, with mPhase's products, telecommunications service providers are able to compete with cable and satellite providers in the high-margin multichannel digital television market. mPhase's product solution do not require a capital-intensive fiber nor cable build- out, long lead times, or a technically challenging deployment. Instead, utilizing their already installed telephone line infrastructure, telephone companies can increase their per subscriber revenue, capture additional marketshare, stave off competition and ultimately increase their overall market valuation by becoming full-service communications providers today.
Incumbent telecommunications service providers will have an opportunity to preempt wide digital cable or satellite adoption that deploy mPhase's IPTV solution and become market leaders in providing data and video services. Most telecommunications companies and industry analysts currently understand that data-only solutions are not sufficient to attract new customers, retain existing ones, and maintain or achieve profitability.
Our IP Television Solution
mPhase markets and sells its innovative IPTV delivery middleware/software as part of its TV+ solutions and is developing a next generation set top box as an additional component of such solution and as a stand alone product. The Company has refocused its efforts on IPTV software/middleware based upon carrier class open standards from its original development of delivery of TV as part of broadband DSL proprietary hardware Our flagship product line is our TV+ solution enabling the delivery of IP TV, voice and high-speed interned over any type of infrastructure of a telecommunications service provider. mPhase has developed its TV+ solution with a specific target in mind, namely, telephone companies in parts of the world where access to multi-channel television is limited, as well as domestic, rural telephone operators.
mPhase introduced its first TV over DSL product, the Traverser Digital Video
and Data Delivery System, (DVDDS) in 1998. The DVDDS, is an end-to-end system
based upon proprietary technology developed in conjunction with Georgia Tech
Research Corporation. Because it is an end-to-end video-over-ADSL (asymmetric
digital subscriber line) equipment. The proprietary transport method utilized in
the Traverser System is patent protected. The intellectual property embodied by
the DVDDS System includes the ability to deliver a plurality of channels to a
plurality of users, ensuring that all channels are available to all users at all
times. The Company has replaced this legacy product with its newer TV+ solution.
The DVDDS was originally installed at Hart Telephone Company
in Hartwell, Georgia. as part of a beta trial of over 80 customers. Another
DVDDS system is installed at the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South
Carolina for use as a closed television system in a commercial setting. In September of 2005. the Company expects to release its IPTV solution. Over
the years, the Company has spent over $30 million on research and development
culminating in the IPTV product and believes it has significant experience and
market knowledge in the field as a result of over 7 years of development
efforts, changing market conditions and new technology developments in
connection with Internet Protocol delivery of video. Bell Labs and mPhase initially commenced research on the TV+
solution in December of 2002 as a compliment to and enhancement of the software
and set top boxes needed to delivery television over DSL using the Lucent
Stinger DSLAM. Bell Labs had previously been working in a contract engineering
capacity helping mPhase to cost-reduce its digital set top box. The two companies elected to team and create what we believe to be the most
reliable, scaleable and cost-effective system for the delivery of television
services over copper telephone wires. This collaborative platform combines the
data centric strengths of Lucent's Stinger with the TV-centric strengths of
mPhase's Traverser resulting in a best of breed solution. For mPhase, the TV+
Solution marks a shift in strategy from selling a complete, proprietary platform
to providing an industry-standard, modular solution. This joint approach offered
a number of advantages. For instance, by utilizing the Lucent Stinger for
transport, mPhase's mPhaseTV+ platform can capitalize upon the proven, extremely
robust and cost effective method of supporting and delivering data combined with
the Traverser's method of supporting video. Releases 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ solution were designed as ATM (asynchronous
transfer mode) solutions then targeted to the traditional reliability and use of
such protocol by the majority of telecommunications service providers. Release
3.0 of the TV+ solution marks the final evolution of the IP based solution
ideally suited for large-scale deployments, and in parts of the world which
cannot afford the cost of upgrading to cable infastructure. NanoTechnology mPhase has recently entered the business of NanoTechnology which represents
the latest scientific area involving the disciplines of molecular engineering,
quantum physics and electrochemistry, amongst others to create new advances in
products. mPhase is currently focusing primarily upon exploratory research for
the development of advanced battery and power cell products and Electro
Mechanical Sensor for a new generations of sensors for military applications.
Business Development, Organization, and Acquisition Activities We were incorporated in New Jersey in 1979 under the name Tecma Laboratory,
Inc. In 1987, we changed our name to Tecma Laboratories, Inc. As Tecma
Laboratories, Inc., the Company has primarily engaged in the research,
development and exploitation of products in the skin care field. On February 17,
1997, we acquired Lightpaths, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was engaged in
the development of telecommunications products incorporating DSL technology, and
we changed our name to Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc. On January 29, 1997, we formed another wholly-owned
subsidiary called TLI Industries, Inc. The shares of TLI were spun off to our
stockholders on March 31,1997 after we transferred the assets and liabilities,
including primarily fixed assets, patents and shareholder loans related to the
prior business of Tecma Laboratories. As a consequence of these transactions, we
became the holding company of our wholly owned subsidiary, Lightpaths, Inc. on
February 17, 1997. On June 2, 1997, we completed a reverse merger with Lightpaths TP
Technologies, Inc. and changed our name to mPhase Technologies, Inc. On June 25, 1998, we acquired Microphase Telecommunications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, by issuing 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. Microphase
Telecommunications' principal assets were patents and patent applications
utilized in the development of our proprietary Traverser technology (as
discussed in related footnote 11 of financial statements on P F-35). See also
"Material Related Party Transactions," contained with "Critical Accounts
Policies" on P 27 and "Certain Relationships and Related Transaction" P 51. In March 2000, we entered into a joint venture with Alphastar
International, Inc. to form a company called mPhase Television.net, Inc., (mPhaseTV)
in which we held a 50% interest. On May 1, 2000, we acquired an additional 6.5%
interest in mPhaseTV, and made it one of our consolidated subsidiaries.
On March 14, 2000, we entered into an agreement with BMW Manufacturing Corp.,
located in South Carolina. Under the agreement, we installed version 1.0 of the
Traverser for BMW's telephone transmission network. BMW has agreed that, upon
its notice and consent, we will be able to demonstrate to potential customers
the functioning system at BMW's facilities. BMW has made two (2) subsequent
purchases increasing the size of its deployment to 48 unique units. Our flagship installation, Hart Telephone, has completed the
build and development of its digital headend during fourth quarter of 2001. The
completion of their digital headend marks the move from beta to commercial
deployment of the Traverser platform. Hart currently has approximately 70
customers receiving about 80 channels of television services. In May of 2002 mPhase initiated discussions for development of a cost-reduced
intelligent network interface (INI) set top box with the Bell Laboratories
division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. Effective December 1, 2002, mPhase entered into a Development Agreement with
the Bell Laboratories division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. for the development
On December 9, 2002, pursuant to a Statement of Work, Lucent commenced development of the BTS for mPhase.
On December 15, 2003, mPhase engaged Lucent for the cost-reduction of its Traverser INI set top box.
On January 21, 2003, mPhase entered into a Co-Branding Agreement with Lucent under which mPhase's INI set top box will be co-branded with the Lucent Technologies, Inc. name and logo.
On April 4, 2003, mPhase entered into a Systems Integration Agreement with Lucent. Under the terms of the agreement, mPhase has been given the exclusive right to sell worldwide a "bundled" solution consisting of mPhase BTS and the Lucent Stinger.
In May of 2003, MPhase has announced development of the mPhaseTV+ Platform with Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs. This modular product, as described in the "Our Solutions" section earlier, utilizes the industry-standard Lucent Stinger for transport. Bell Labs has been design contracted to design the mPhase BTS and Traverser CPE to be used in conjunction with the Lucent Stinger. A redesigned cost reduced second generation set top box CPE equipment has been completed. A prototype version of the BTS is also completed and has been successfully tested with 3 customers at Hart telephone in July of 2003. The first version of our TV+ product is scheduled to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2004.
In November of 2003, mPhase announced that it had entered into a $1.0 million Project Development contract with Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs division to complete development of Version 1.0 of its TV+ solution by the summer of 2004.
In February of 2004, mPhase announced that it had entered into a $1.2 million Project Development contract with Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs division to perform exploratory research and development of micro power source arrays fabricated using nanotextured, superhydrophobic materials.
In September of 2004, mPhase announced that it had entered into a new $1.2 million Project Development contract with Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs division to develop Version 3.0 of the TV+ solution centered around a new "Video Soft Switch" enabling the delivery of broadcast television, high speed internet and voice over an new IP based system with an open standards architecture.
In November of 2004, mPhase announced the selection by Lucent Russia to deploy 1,000 ports of mPhase's TV+ solution to a telecom services company in the far eastern region of Russia that is one of 7 regional mega communications service providers. In addition the Company announced that it had received a $1 million order for its IPOT3 product renamed as the Broadband Loop Watch from Lucent Saudi Arabia.
In March of 2005, mPhase extended its Project Development Agreement with Lucent Technologies Inc. covering its power cell product for an additional 12 months at a cost of $1.2 million and also entered into a new 12 month Project Development Agreement for development of its new MEMS based Magnetometer sensor product.
Our revenue, historically, has been derived from sales of component telephone equipment parts, the majority of which has come from our sales of POTS Splitter Shelves. In our fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004 respectively, we generated approximately $2.6 million and $4.8 million in revenue and $1,039,003 in revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, respectively, from the commercial sale of our component products. Our other component products, including Filters and Central Office POTS Filter Shelves, are marketed to other DSL equipment vendors. We do not believe that the sales of our TV+ feature product will be materially impaired by the sale of these component products to these potential competitors.
mPhase is in the process of evaluating a full range of contract manufacturers, including manufacturers outside of the U.S. We believe that there are many qualified manufacturers around the world. mPhase is likely to contract with multiple companies depending on which countries the TV+ product is deployed and depending upon cost-competitiveness.
Our Products & Services
To date mPhase's revenue has been derived almost exclusively from sales of DSL component telephone equipment parts, the majority of which has come from our sales of POTS Splitter Shelves. In November of 2005 we received our first order for 1000 ports of our TV+ solution and our first order for $1 million of our IPOTS-3 or Broadband Loop watch Product. In our fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 we generated approximately $4.8 million and $1.6 million in revenue, respectively, from the commercial sale of our component products and overall losses for such years of $7,758,586 and $6,650,211, respectively.
mPhase supplies the telecommunications industry with products designed to enable, enhance or support broadband DSL services. mPhase's line of TV-over-DSL products include Versions 1.0 and 2.0 of its TV+ Platform with Version 3.0 of its TV+ product expected to be available during the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. Additionally, mPhase markets a line of DSL component products ranging from commodity items such as traditional POTS Splitters and microfilters to higher-end, feature-rich products such as the recently introduced Intelligent POTS Splitter.
Traverser DVDDS
mPhase's legacy television-over-DSL System is the Traverser DVDDS. This system is a patented end-to-end solution enabling the delivery of digital broadcast television, high speed data services, and traditional voice services (requires Class5E voice switch) over a pair of copper telephone wires. It has been recently replaced by the mPhase TV+ solution.
History of the IPTV+ Solution
mPhase and Bell Labs Lucent Technologies have teamed together to create an industry-standard, high quality and cost effective television over DSL platform known as the mPhaseTV+ solution.Releases 1.0 and 2.1 of this solution consists of three key elements:
The mPhase BTS (broadcast television switch) layer interfacing the video headend and the DSLAM;
Lucent's Stinger DSL Access Concentrator, a field-tested central office (CO) piece of equipment which provides DSL connections to individual customers; and
mPhase CPE, a highly integrated set top box to deliver video in the home environment from the DSL link.
This hybrid, collaborative platform capitalizes upon the strengths of both Lucent's and mPhase's technology. The BTS embodies the same video networking intelligence as the Traverser DVDDS. However, when combined with the proven, robust Stinger, which effectively and cost-effectively supports data, the end result is what we believe to be a best-of-breed, industry-standard solution.
The mPhase BTS resides between the DSLAM and the video headend and provides video networking intelligence that enables television services over DSL. The BTS is also responsible for video-related functionality such as demuxing and mapping MPEG-2 bitstreams, video subscriber management, video content management and billing management.
mPhase has developed, in conjunction with Bell Labs, a low cost, efficient and compact digital set top box with an integrated DSL Modem called the INI Version 400. Various versions of this device exist or are in development such as a standards-based product inoperable with the Lucent Stinger as well as other manufactures' DSLAMs.
Together with a digital video headend (or PCC) and the Lucent Stinger, the Versions 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ platform provide an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) based end-to-end solution for customers wanting to provide television and high-speed data services over their existing copper infrastructure. Based on a streamlined, modular architecture, future upgrade, additional features and ancillary services can be implemented without major modifications to the entire system.
The Company expects to sell Release 3.0 or its IP(internet protocol) based TV+ platform to customers planning to support large scale deployments, delivering both high speed data and television services. Such system is designed for maximum flexibility cost effectiveness and highly scaleable for large deployments by telephone service providers and represents a shift of the Company's focus from hardware to software. Since most telecommunications providers require an IP rather than ATM mode for deploying digital broadcast television and video on demand, we believe that our Release 3.0 will supercede our earlier releases of the TV+ solution.
The Company believes the initial major deployments and any revenues from sales of its flagship IPTV solution, are not expected until the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. An upturn of spending in the telephone industry should also increase sales and improve the Company's margins and provide the Company with the opportunity to attain profitability.
Component Parts Pots Splitter Shelves Intelligent Pots Splitter (iPots)
Although the Company has repositioned itself mainly as a software/middleware provider of IPTV solutions, mPhase also designs and markets a line of DSL component products ranging from commodity items such as carrier-class POTS splitters located at the central office as well as customer premises equipment splitters and filters located in the home. Recently, mPhase has introduced a line of innovative loop management products intended to lower the operational costs involved with supporting DSL services. The Broadband Loop Watch (intelligent POTS Splitter), product line marks a significant advancement in automating loop management by utilizing "intelligent functionality" thereby enabling testing of a telephone loop for DSL deployment without having to dispatch personnel to the field to manually perform such tests. This product reduce the operational costs of deploying and maintaining DSL services. The Broadband Loop Watch (originally named the iPOTS3) is a significant advancement from the Company's original iPOTS1, allowing service providers a 3-way view of the network and is compatible with DSLAM's of most vendors. TheiPOTS1 was origianlly designed for use only with the Lucent Stinger DSLAM.
Microfilters
We have developed a complete line of microfilters, including a 2 and 4 pole filter for use in single and multiphone households, as well as a network interface splitter.
Research and Development Activities
As of June 30, 2004, we had been billed approximately $13,563,000 for research and development conducted by Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRC) in connection with the development, over 5 years of the legacy Traverser DVDDS system .On March 26, 1998, we entered into a license agreement with Georgia Tech which owns the Digital Video and Data System technology. GTRC and its affiliates have granted us the exclusive license to use and re-sell Traverser DVDDS worldwide. We are obligated to pay Georgia Tech royalties of up to 5% on future sales of the Traverser The license agreement expires automatically when the patents covering the invention expire.
The Company has paid Lucent Technologies, Inc, through March 31, 2005 a total of $784,000 for development of its TV+ solution which commenced in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. In September of 2004, mPhase announced a new Project Development contract with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies Inc to develop Release 3.0 of its TV+ platform as a new IP based system with an open standards-based architecture based upon a new "Soft Switch" software enabling the delivery of broadcast TV, high-speed internet and voice over fiber and copper. The Company is obligated to pay $900,400 primarily to Lucent Technologies Inc and Magpie as of March 31, 2005 in remaining payments in order to complete Release 3.0 of the TV+ product .
In February of 2004 mPhase announced that it had entered into a new $1.2 million Project Development contract with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technology Inc. for the exploratory research of micro power cell arrays using superhydrophobic nanotextured materials with the first commercial application expected to be a new miniature power cell with a very long shelf life for military and commercial applications. Under the terms of such agreement the Company has paid Lucent $100,000 per month commencing in February of 2004 for a 12 month period for a total of $1.2 million. The Company and Lucent have extended such contract for another 12 months on similar terms to continue development of the miniature power cell product.
Market
Currently, mPhase's target market for its IPTV solution include telephone companies and telecommunications service providers worldwide. By deploying converged voice, video and data over their existing telephone infrastructure, telecommunications service providers can increase revenue and profitability and retain valuable market share. In most parts of the world, the telephone company is strongly positioned to be first to market with an integrated bundle of communications services. There are over 1 billion telephone lines serving consumers around the globe compared to only 586.9 (source: Kagan World Media) million homes passed by cable. In today's competitive telecommunications landscape, the mPhaseTV+ solution for delivery of IP TV has now become a compelling solution for many large international telecommunications service providers to compete effectively in today's marketplace.
We estimate that on average, a typical telecommunications service provider using mPhase's IP TV+ solution can generate significant revenue with a payback on its initial investment in either system within 2-3 years depending on the size and scope of the deployment. Importantly, this relatively short payback period is still applicable in countries where the average cost of a basic cable television package is well below the US average. The economics of mPhase's IPTV+ solution are such that, for example, when charging as little as $7 per month per subscriber for a basic television package, the system operator can expect a full return on investment within a three-year period of time. Furthermore, over 5 years a telecommunications service provider can achieved a significantly higher rate of return on its investment in our IPTV solution than would be possible with deploying voice and data alone. mPhase has developed a detailed and highly customizable return on investment model to assist the telco in assessing its rates of return and profitability based on additional revenue generated by the new services.
mPhase expects to derive the majority of its revenue from the sale of its TV+ solution developed in conjunction with Lucent Technologies, for a number of reasons:
mPhase is currently targeting international incumbent telephone companies and rural independent domestic local exchange carriers for sale of its TV+ solution . The Company expects to derive the majority of its system sales abroad, specifically from telephone service providers in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa.
mPhase believes that foreign markets will adopt its IPTV solution more rapidly than domestic service providers since there is not generally intense competition from cable television. Therefore, the Company has placed much of its initial emphasis on targeting the international market.
The demand for alternative television options is high in Europe, Asia and Latin America. According to the Yankee Group, European countries have been early adopters of video-over-DSL and alternative video delivery technologies, deploying and testing services more aggressively than North America. These markets possess pockets of moderate to high-income households willing and able to purchase advanced digital services, but very few alternatives exist. According to the Gartner Group, another industry analyst, the number of carriers in the Europe, Middle East and African regions planning on deploying video over DSL services has "leapt from 40 percent to almost 75% in 2002." Analysts from the Gartner Group commented that, "This is a clear sign that carriers realize they need to move upstream with broadband value-added services."
Cable television and digital broadcast satellite (DBS) services are less competitive internationally than in North America. Because of the limited expansion of cable, especially two-way digital cable and satellite networks abroad, access to advanced communications services such as high-speed Internet and digital television in many areas is limited to copper-based delivery methods.
Parts of the world representing the largest opportunities for mPhase include Latin America, Eastern Europe and parts of Africa. For instance, multichannel television service providers in Latin America have only penetrated 18.3% of the 94.7 million television-owning households (source: Kagan World Media). In Latin American telecommunications service providers deploying one of mPhase's solutions for IPTV will be able to offer television services at very competitive rates. Currently, multichannel television services are only available to the top-tier consumers in Latin America as well as in other developing parts of the world. mPhase's return on investment models indicate that telecommunications service providers charging as little as $7 a month for basic services can anticipate a return on investment within a very short period of time. This attractive business model will help make digital multichannel television service available to a large number of potential new users.
The U.S. multichannel television market is highly competitive, because the penetration of cable services in North America is much higher than the rest of the world and there are numerous service options for multichannel pay TV customers, telecommunications service providers must provide incentives for cable television subscribers to switch service providers. However, in foreign markets, where (a) there is a high penetration of television sets, a very limited number of broadcast television channels are received using antennas from "through-the-air" broadcast and (b) direct-to-home satellite providers cannot currently support the delivery of reliable, two-way data services. In such markets we believe that a telephone company is much better positioned to be the initial and primary provider of bundled converged services.

Competition in the worldwide telecommunications market is becoming increasingly aggressive due to changing telecommunications regulation, heightened competitive threats from alternative technologies, such as cable and digital broadcast satellite, and price declines in local and long distance telephony services.
To date, there are several significant deployments of IPTV worldwide including Fastweb in Italy, Imagenio, operated by Telefonica in Spain, Yahoo BB/Softbank in Japan, SuperSun in China in Hong Kong and Media on Demand in the Republic of China operated by Chunghwa Telecom. mPhase believes that the deployment of IPTV worldwide is still in its very early stages with many initial deployments such as by Microphase with Swiss Telecom experiencing significant technical difficulties. The market has been slower to develop than many commentators have predicted owing to the technical complexity of the systems software and hardware to deliver feature rich television and video on demand where many international telecommunications operators have varied topologies, existing infrastructure, complex regulations to comply with in order to successfully deploy such a system. Nevertheless, mPhase believes that telecommunications service providers around the world have the incentive to deploy
Domestic telecommunications service providers face difficulty in maintaining market share and revenue. Price declines in traditional voice services and the proliferation of Internet telephony are impacting operating margins. mPhase believes that the independent, rural domestic telecommunications service providers are especially vulnerable to these competitive threats and have a need to develop new product delivery capabilities to increase revenues and margins. However, independent telecommunications service providers are not as well capitalized as the larger domestic regional bell operating companies and other large incumbent service providers and therefore tend to be very cost conscious in equipment deployment. Nevertheless, in areas where there is sparse cable deployment, or the cable infrastructure is antiquated, there is an increasing demand for better quality of service, more programming channels and additional services. The independent telecommunications service providers operating in these areas can potentially benefit from the incremental revenue generated by services offered through mPhase's TV+ solution. Since the flexibility or the solution allows for favorable economic returns for both small and large customer deployments, mPhase believes that there may be certain opportunities in the United States for deployment of its IP TV+ solution.
mPhase is in the process of evaluating market opportunities in North America and around the world to address commercial applications of the TV+ solution. However, the Company believes that commercial sales to manufacturing or enterprise customers will only represent a marginal source of revenue because of the limited scope and demand for internal broadcasting networks in the commercial market.
Sales Strategy
IPTV
mPhase will pursue sales opportunities through a variety of channels, including direct sales by the Company's internal sales team, distributors and in conjunction with Lucent Technologies, Inc.
mPhase should be able to leverage the Lucent brand and the reputation of the Stinger as a highly scaleable and cost-effective transport medium. An example of this is found with respect to mPhase's initial deployment of 1000 ports of its TV+ solution to a major telephone service provider in Russia through Lucent Russia as an addition to the Lucent Stinger DSLAM.
In markets where Lucent is directly selling into accounts deemed to be strong potential markets, the two companies can collaborate their efforts to bring forth a compelling product solution.
Joint Venture Opportunities
There also exist opportunities for mPhase to capture recurring revenue from the sale and deployment of its video over DSL systems through a joint venture business model. Under this scenario, mPhase would sell its equipment to a joint venture company, of which mPhase retains a minority position. This company would negotiate either a line leasing or revenue share program with the incumbent telephone company and subsequently deploy and operate one of mPhase's television over DSL platforms. mPhase believes a JV may provide additional opportunities for sales to international telephone carriers that may not have the funds to procure mPhase's IP TV solution, yet recognize the potential business opportunity in deploying our product.
Funding of the equipment and operation of the system would be the responsibility of the JV. Member companies of the JV would include entities interested in controlling television services such as the government and large media groups. For example, mPhase has established a JV in Turkey with Beyaz Holdings a significant provider of Turkish Television content. Although a JV requires greater involvement from mPhase in terms of organizing and coordinating the appropriate parties, the long- term potential benefits to mPhase are great. mPhase would not only secure sales of its TV+ solution, but would benefit from the recurring revenues from a JV engaged in being a broadcast television service provider.
DSL Component Products
mPhase continues to sell a line of DSL component products including: POTS Splitter Shelves, DSL Loop Diagnostic systems such as the Broadband Loop Watch product, in-line microfilters, Continuity Test Cards and Network Intelligent Device splitters. These products are essential components to any DSL installation, regardless of the DSL equipment vendor. The mPhase components are interoperable with Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexing equipment from a broad range of DSL manufacturers. Potential customers for the DSL component products include other DSL equipment manufacturers, re-sellers, network integrators and telecommunications service providers deploying DSL worldwide.
To date, mPhase has deployed over 250,000 POTS Splitter ports. The mPhase DSL component products are sold both by mPhase directly as well as through established distribution agreements.
The Company recognizes the depressed market conditions that began in 2001 that continue to pervade the telecommunications equipment industry. Although the Company experienced a rebound in the market in the first quarter sales of POTS Splitters during fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, it has continued to experience a decline in such sales in each quarter thereafter through the six months ended December 31, 2004. Sales through March 31, 2005 have continued to be weak.
We are continuously in discussions with various original equipment
manufacturers of telecommunications equipment to identify opportunities for
joint bids for infrastructure deployment with major domestic and international
telecommunications service providers. We also continue to market our component
products directly. Intellectual Property, Patents and Licenses The Company has entered into software development and licensing agreements
with Magpie with respect to certain software used in connection with Release 3.0
of its TV+ product. Under such development and licensing Agreement the Company
has made aggregate payments of approximately $320,000 as of April 21, 2005. In
addition the Company will pay a licensing fee per set top box sold as part of
the TV+product. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Company entered into a second
development agreement with Magpie
calling for payments of approximately $430,000 in order to complete software
development necessary for Release 3.0 of its TV+ solution. Such payments are
payable monthly subject to completion of milestones. We have filed and intend to file United States patent and/or
copyright applications relating to some of our proposed products and
technologies, either with our collaborators, strategic partners or on our own.
There can be no assurance, however, that any of the patents obtained will be
adequate to protect our technologies or that we will have sufficient resources
to enforce our patents. Because we may license our technology and products in foreign markets, we may
also seek foreign patent protection. With respect to foreign patents, the patent
laws of other countries may differ significantly from those of the United States
regarding patent protection of our products or technology. In addition, it is
possible that competitors in both the United States and foreign countries, many
of which have substantially greater resources and have made substantial
investments in competing technologies, may have applied for, or may in the
future apply for and obtain, patents that will have an adverse impact on our
ability to make and sell our products. There can also be no assurance that
competitors will not infringe our patents or will not claim that we are
infringing on their patents. Defense and prosecution of patent suits, even if
successful, are both costly and time consuming. An adverse outcome in the
defense of a patent suit could subject us to significant liabilities to third
parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from third parties or require us
to cease our operations. The intellectual property owned and licensed by us falls into two general
categories, analog and digital intellectual property. We have a pending patent
application that was filed in June 1999 claiming priority to three provisional
patent applications for the analog portion of our technology used in relation to
the Traverser DVDDS platform. Our DSL filter technology enables increased video clarity over copper wire,
longer transmission distances and decreased signal error rate. The intellectual
property related to the DSL filters includes: low pass filter shelves and POTS Splitters, which combine the Traverser DSL
spectrum from the traditional voice service; and ADSL filters, which are filters that conform to the worldwide DSL standard
and are utilized in the transmission of data and voice service at up to 8 Mbps.
We believe that both of these components are key to providing a DSL signal at
sufficient quality and service distances for combined video and data delivery.
We license our digital intellectual property. We also have an
exclusive, worldwide license to manufacture and market products using the
technology developed by Georgia Tech under our contract with them. The exclusive
license with Georgia Tech is applicable for the duration of their patent
protecting the system design and other technology related to the legacy
Traverser DVDDS platform. The licensed patented and patent-pending technology developed at Georgia Tech
covers the capabilities of the Traverser DVDDS. A patent for the System and Method for the Delivery of Digital Video and Data
over a Communications Channel was issued on November 28, 2000 to the Georgia
Tech Research Corporation. The Company is expected to maintain this patent in
the United States and certain foreign countries. On July 12, 2005, mPhase announced that it had been awarded a U.S. Patent for
Signal Splitting Technology used in its new Broadband Loop Watch product. We also have patents pending that protect: the software management and control of the individual Traverser links, the
DVDDS, and the channel changing methodology and interface to the electronic
program guide at the customer site through the Intelligent Network Interface;
apparatus and methods of remote control of the Intelligent Network Interface;
and, systems and methods to provide subscribers means to playback previously
recorded video content. We purchase from GlobeSpan telecommunication rate adaptive DSL chipsets used
in the Traverser DVDDS.
The Company has filed 7 patents that consist of a combination of (a) patents
granted to mPhase from the bell labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. and
(b) joint patents developed by mPhase and employees of bell labs with respect to the nanotechnology products currently under development.
We also rely on unpatented proprietary technology, and we can make no
assurance that others may not independently develop the same or similar
technology to ours or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. If
we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of the Traverser technology,
our future operations could be adversely affected. With the migration of the Company's television delivery platform from the
Traverser to the TV+ solution, the Company is currently reexamining the need to
maintain the cost of patent protection with respect to the legacy Traverser
product. Regulation The Federal Communication Commission, or FCC, and various state public
utility and service commissions, regulate most of our potential domestic
customers. Changes to FCC regulatory policies may affect the accessibility of
communications services, and otherwise affect how telecommunications providers
conduct their business. These regulations may adversely affect our potential
penetration into certain markets. In addition, our business and results of
operations may also be adversely affected by the imposition of certain tariffs,
duties and other import restrictions on components, which we obtain from
non-domestic component suppliers. Changes in current or future laws or
regulations, in the U.S. or elsewhere, could materially adversely affect our
business. Competition mPhase competes with broadband equipment manufacturers including cable and
digital broadcast satellite equipment manufacturers, as well as other equipment
vendors manufacturing IP TV middleware solutions and set top boxes. The global
telco customer base has the ability to adopt other forms of content distribution
if it chooses to compete in the multi-channel home entertainment market.
However, mPhase believes its IPTV solution is attractive to a broader range of
customers of telecommunication service providers. The following sections outline
the competitive landscape for mPhase. Direct Broadcast Satellite Services In the US, direct broadcast satellite (DBS) providers have experienced
increased market penetration over the past few years. DBS service is the only
alternative television delivery method in rural areas where cable has not been
deployed, or antiquated analog cable is predominant. However, in some cases, DBS
service does not include local off-air channels and most DBS operators are not
able to provide competitively-priced wireless high-speed Internet service.
Technology enabling two-way, high-speed Internet access over DBS is relatively
new and we expect it will take time to reach broad market acceptance as a
cost-effective, reliable data delivery method. Cable Television Network Operators Although the cable industry is our indirect competitor, the Company believes
that two-way cable service provides incentive to telecommunications service
providers to explore additional services. Cable companies pose a serious
competitive threat to telephone company market share. However, in order for
cable companies to compete for high-speed Internet and telephony customers, the
cable plant must be upgraded to two-way digital cable. Cable companies have
invested large amounts of capital to upgrade dense service population areas in
the US. However, cable operators typically underserved less densely populated
regions with antiquated analog cable systems. Outside of the U.S., very little
two-way cable plants have been installed. Telecommunications service providers around the world have the incentive to
deploy IPTV solutions either because of the threat of the cable companies, or
because of the lack of cable infrastructure. The Company believes that its
TV+solution is the most cost effective and robust video delivery technology
deployable by our primary target market of international telecommunications
service providers. Installing our IPTV+ solution will facilitate telephone
companies in retaining and capturing market share, as well as generating
incremental revenue. mPhaseTV+ solution enable telecommunications service
providers to compete effectively in a converging services market with a "triple
play" of services-digital television, high-speed data and voice services in an
attractive bundled package. Other IP TV Vendors mPhase competes with both vendors of middleware and set top boxes. Companies
that supply middleware for IPTV include a joint venture of Microsoft and
Alcatel, Minerva, Orca Interactive, Siemens, VBrick Systems, and Video Furnance.
Other set top box vendors for IP TV include Advanced Digital Broadcast, Amino
Communications, i3 micro, Kreatel, Pace Micro Technology, Samsung, Telsey
Telecommunication and VBrick Systems. IP end to end systems competitors include
UTStarcom,mxWare and Industria. Lucent has recently established a partnership
with Orca Interactive, a company located in Israel, that makes
software/middleware for the delivery of IPTV that is in direct competition with
mPhase's IPTV product. Differentiating Factors mPhase believes that its IPTV product offers the most reliable, scaleable and
cost effective solution for delivery of broadcast
Headend Equipment Providers
mPhase does not manufacturer digital head end gear. All customers interested in deploying an mPhase IP TV+ solution must build a digital headend to receive, digitize and groom the television signals. Through extensive lab and field testing, mPhase has established an approved vendor list of several headend providers.
Nanotechnology
The science of nanotechnology is very new and evolving. There has been significant venture capital fundings of start up companies during calendar year 2005 focusing upon development of a wide range of potential products and applications. mPhase believes that its power cell and magnetometer products may be the earliest products commercialized using the science of nanotechnology. Nevertheless, the Company does not expect any material revenues from such product for 2-3 years.
Employees
We presently have approximately (19) full employees, two (2) of whom are also employed by Microphase Corporation. See the description in the section entitled "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
Properties.
We maintain our corporate headquarters at 587 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06854, under a facilities agreement with Microphase. The agreement with Microphase provides that we lease office space, lab facilities and administrative staff on a month-to-month basis. We also maintain offices in New York, N.Y and Little Falls , New Jersey.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company has recently been advised that, following an investigation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the staff intends to recommend that the Commission file a civil injunctive action against Packetport, Inc. and its Officers and Directors. Such recommendation relates to alleged civil violations by Packetport and such Officers and Directors of various sections of the Federal Securities Laws. The staff has alleged civil violations of Sections 5 and 17(a)of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b)and 13(d)of the Securities Exchanges Act of 1934. As noted in other public filings of mPhase, the CEO and COO of mPhase also serve as Directors and Officers of Packetport. Such persons have advised mPhase that they deny any violation of law on their part and intend to vigorously contest such recommendation.
From time to time we may be involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business.

With respect to our current plan, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors administers and interprets our current plan. The exercise price of common stock underlying an option may be greater, less than or equal to fair market value. However, the exercise price of an incentive stock option must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date such incentive stock option is granted. The maximum term of an option is five years from the date of grant. In the event of a dissolution, liquidation or change in control transaction, we may require option holders to either exercise their options within 30 days or surrender such options (or unexercised portion thereof).
Upon stockholder approval, the Board of Directors merged our prior Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan into the 2001 Plan.
The purpose of the 2001 Plan is to promote our long-term growth and profitability by providing key people with incentives to improve stockholder value and contribute to our growth and financial success and by enabling us to attract, retain and reward the best available people.
The maximum number of shares of common stock that we may issue with respect to awards under the 2001 Plan is 20,000,000 shares, in addition to the shares previously authorized for issuance under our Company plan, but which are not issued before our current plan is merged into the 2001 Plan.
The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to awards of any combination that may be granted under the 2001 Plan during any fiscal year to any one individual is limited to 2,500,000 subject to the exceptions made by the Board of Directors. These limits will be adjusted to reflect any stock dividends, split-ups and reverse stock split, unless the Board determines otherwise. If any award, or portion of an award, under the 2001 Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered or canceled as to any shares, or if any shares of common stock are surrendered to us in connection with any award (whether or not such surrendered shares were acquired pursuant to any award), or if any shares are withheld by us, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered or withheld shares will thereafter be available for further awards under the 2001 Plan. Those shares that are surrendered to or withheld by us, or that are forfeited after issuance, however, will not be available for incentive stock options.
The 2001 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors or by a committee or committees as the Board of Directors may appoint from time to time. The administrator has full power and authority to take all actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the 2001 Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to: (i) determine who is eligible for awards, and the time or times at which such awards will be granted; (ii) determine the types of awards to be granted; (iii) determine the number of shares covered by or used for reference purposes for each award; (iv) impose such terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such award as the administrator deems appropriate; (v) modify, amend, extend or renew outstanding awards, or accept the surrender of outstanding awards and substitute new awards (provided however, that, except as noted below, any modification that would materially adversely affect any outstanding award may not be made without the consent of the holder); (vi) accelerate or otherwise change the time in which an award may be exercised or becomes payable and to waive or accelerate the lapse, in whole or in part, of any restriction or condition with respect to such award, including, but not limited to, any restriction or condition with respect to the vesting or exercisability of an award following termination of any grantee's employment or consulting relationship; and (vii) establish objectives and conditions, if any, for earning awards and determining whether awards will be paid after the end of a performance period.
In the event of changes in our common stock by reason of any stock dividend, split-up, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, business combination or exchange of shares and the like, the administrator may make adjustments to the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2001 Plan, in the aggregate or per individual per year, and to the number, kind and price of shares covered by outstanding award.
Without the consent of holders of awards, the administrator in its discretion is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us, or our financial statements or those of any of our affiliates, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2001 Plan.
Participation in the 2001 Plan will be open to all of our employees, officers, directors and other individuals providing bona fide services to us or any of our affiliates, as the administrator may select from time to time. All two (2) non-employee directors and approximately nineteen (19) employees will be eligible to participate in the 2001 Plan.
The 2001 Plan allows for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, phantom stock awards and performance awards. The administrator may grant these awards separately or in tandem with other awards. The administrator will also determine the prices, expiration dates and other material conditions governing the exercise of the awards. We, or any of our affiliates, may make or guarantee loans to assist grantees in exercising awards and satisfying any withholding tax obligations arising from awards.
Because participation and the types of awards available for grant under the 2001 Plan are subject to the discretion of the administrator, the benefits or amounts that any participant or groups of participants may receive if the 2001 Plan is approved are not currently determinable. For this purpose, the benefits or amounts that participants may receive if the 2001 Plan is approved do not include awards granted under the Prior Plan that are amended and restated to become awards covering the same number of shares under the terms of the 2001 Plan. These amended and restated awards are not contingent on stockholder approval since the Prior Plan was previously approved by the stockholders.
Our Board of Directors may terminate, amend or modify all or any provision of the 2001 Plan at any time.

(valued at $2,633,400). This non-cash charge was included in general and
administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the year ended June
30, 2000. The fair value of the warrants granted to the joint venture partner as
of the date of grant was based on the Black- Scholes stock option pricing model, using the following weighted average assumptions:
annual expected rate of return of 0%, annual volatility of 115%, risk free
interest rate of 5.85% and an expected option life of 3 years.
The agreement stipulated for mPhase's joint venture partner, AlphaStar
International, Inc., ("Alphastar"), to provide mPhaseTelevision.Net right of
first transmission for its transmissions of MPEG-2 digital satellite television.
In addition, in March 2000, mPhase loaned the joint venture $1,000,000 at 8%
interest per annum. The loan is repayable to the Company from equity infusions
to the subsidiary, no later than such time that mPhaseTelevision.Net qualifies
for a NASDAQ Small Cap Market Listing. During April 2000, the Company acquired
an additional 6.5% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net for $1,500,000. As of June
30, 2003 mPhase owns a 56.5% interest in mPhaseTelevision.net. The Company
terminated the lease of the earth station for business reasons, and there was no
material impact on mPhaseTelevision.net's operating activities. Pursuant to an agreement dated as of June 18, 2002, mPhaseTelevision.Net has
terminated its lease of the earth station and Alphastar and its affiliated
entity have converted certain accounts payable into shares of the Company's
common stock. Additionally, under this Agreement, mPhase is obligated to pay Alphastar and
its affiliates $35,000, which is included in amounts due to related parties in
the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2003. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the joint venture
was charged $64,039, $0 and $0, respectively for fees and costs by its joint
venture partner and its affiliates. Transactions with Strategic Vendors Transactions with Other Significant Beneficial Owners of mPhase Common Stock
and Warrants As of June 30, 2004, the Company was approximately $473,787 in arrears with
respect to a Promissory Note issued to Piper Rudnick LLP plus other legal fees
of $118,773. It should be noted that Piper Rudnick received such Promissory
Note plus two warrants received in March of 2002 in exchange for cancellation of
certain payables. Such warrants have conversion rights into our common stock for
a total of 2,233,490 shares that have been registered under a recently effective
Form S-1 Registration Statement, and are cashless. On September 3, 2003, the
Company paid $100,000 in cash to Piper in exchange for reducing the total
payable to $550,000 plus the issuance of additional cashless warrant for
$150,000 worth of the Company's common stock valued at $.25 per share. The
remaining $300,000 payable has the following future payment schedule: 1. Payments of $25,000 each on December 1, 2004, March 1, 2005, June 1, 2005,
September 1, 2005, March 1, 2006, June 1, 2006 and September 1, 2006. 2. A
payment of $50,000 on December 1, 2005 3. A payment of $75,000 due on December
1, 2006 As of June 1, 2004, the Company is current with respect to payments to Piper Rudnick LLP. On February 18, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement with Georgia Tech
Applied Research Corporation and Georgia Tech Research Corporation (collective "GTRC")
to settle a payable of approximately $1.8 million pursuant to the issuance of a
warrant convertible into 5,069,200 shares of the Company's common stock on a
cash-less basis plus a note for $100,000 payable over a 18 month period of
installments of $16,667 per quarter. The Company is presently renegotiating the
amount and payment terms of the Note with GTRC since the Note covered certain
licensing fees for patents that the Company may determine are not necessary in
connection with its TV platforms going forward. Effective March 31, 2002, the Company converted $420,872 of liabilities due
to Piper Rudnick LLP, outside legal counsel to mPhase into a warrant to purchase
up to a total of 1,683,490 shares of the Company's common stock which pursuant
to EITF 96-18, has an approximate value of $.30 per share; and a warrant to
purchase 550,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
$.30 per share pursuant to the terms of payment agreement. In addition, Piper
agreed to accept a Promissory Note for $420,872 of current payables at an
interest rate of 8% with payments of $5,000 per month commencing June 1, 2002
and continuing through December 1, 2003, with a final payment of principal plus
accrued interest due at maturity on December 31, 2003. As of August 11, 2003 the
Company is $35,000 in arrears with respect to the $5,000 per month payment of
the Promissory Note. On December 31, 2003, the Company became in arrears with
respect to $420,872 of a balloon payment on a Note payable to its outside Law
Firm, Piper Rudnick LLC. The Company is in discussion with respect to such law
firm to extend and/or cancel all or portions of this debt. It should be noted
that Piper Rudnick holds warrants received in March of 2001 in exchange for
cancellation of certain payables. Such warrants have conversion rights into our
common stock for 2,233,490 shares that are being registered hereunder (see
Selling Shareholders list-page 65 hereof) and are cashless. Such warrants could
be exercised shares of our common stock which could then be sold in the open
market upon the effectiveness of this Registration Statement on Form S-1 in the
open market to recover our outstanding payable. See also Risk Factor Section on
Page 8 hereof. On October 14, 2002, the Company entered into a memorandum on intention with
Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) and its affiliate, Georgia Tech Applied
Research Corporation (GTARC), which memorandum was revised on November 12, 2002
and in October of 2003 and is subject to the approval of the respective board of
directors of the parties thereto and the exchange of mutual releases. The
memorandum provides for the settlement of any and all amounts outstanding to
GTRC and GTARC in consideration of the issuance of warrants to purchase
5,069,242 shares of the Company's common stock at $.01 per share (with a
cashless exercise right) in exchange for cancellation of an approximately $1.3
million portion of the Company's accounts payable. In addition the Company would
issue a term promissory note in the principal amount of $674,235 with interest
at prime+1% and varied payments through 2008 in exchange for cancellation of an
account payable by the Company in an same amount. The non-current amount of two
promissory notes plus two warrants that were part of the proposed transaction as
originally negotiated and as reflected in the memorandum of November 12, 2002
are reflected on the balance sheet dated June 30, 2003 as long-term debt and
other liabilities for the amounts that were expected on June 30, 2003 to be
converted to the two promissory notes payable and the warrants respectively. As
of February 12, 2004 we are finalizing an agreement to convert all of such
payables, approximating $1.8 million and including amounts reflected as Notes
Payable as of June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003, into a warrant convertible
into our Common Stock on a cashless basis of approximately $.35 per share. This
agreement is still subject to final execution of legal documentation by GTRC.
Effective June 30, 2001 the
Company converted $2,420,039 of liabilities due to directors and related parties
into 4,840,077 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to debt conversion
agreements. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 certain strategic vendors
and related parties converted approximately $2.7 million of accounts payable and
accrued expenses into 7,492,996 shares of the Company's common stock and
5,953,490 warrants. During the twelve months ending June 30, 2003, certain

common stock and warrants to purchase 3,706,800 shares of common stock of mPhase. Such vendors include Microphase Corporation, Janifast, Ltd., and Strategic

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth
information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the
selling stockholders as of the date of this prospectus, and the number of shares
of common stock covered by this prospectus. Except as otherwise noted below,
none of the selling stockholders has held any position or office, or has had any
other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past
three years. The number of
shares of common stock that may be actually purchased by certain selling
stockholders under the warrants and the number of shares of common stock that
may be actually sold by each selling stockholder will be determined by such
selling stockholder. Because certain selling stockholder may purchase all, some
or none of the shares of common stock which can be purchased under the warrants
and each selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of the shares of common
stock which each holds, and because the offering contemplated by this prospectus
is not currently being underwritten, no estimate can be given as to the number
of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon
termination of the offering. The information set forth in the following table
regarding the beneficial
ownership after
resale of shares is based on the basis that each selling stockholder will
purchase the maximum number of shares of common stock provided for by the
warrants owned by the selling stockholder and each selling stockholder will sell
all of the shares of common stock owned by that selling stockholder and covered
by this prospectus.

the selling stockholders and certain transferees a total of shares of common
stock, of which shares are issued and outstanding and up to shares are issuable

and the exercise of all of the warrants and options by the selling stockholders.
We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the
shares of common stock. If the shares of common stock are sold through
broker-dealers or agents, the selling stockholder will be responsible for any
compensation to such broker-dealers or agents.
The

the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance
of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell
the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders also
may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in
which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest
will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. The selling stockholders will
sell their shares of common stock subject to the following:
1.
all or a portion of the shares of
common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders or their respective
pledgees, donees, transferees or successors in interest, may be sold on the OTC
Bulletin Board Market, any national securities exchange or quotation service on
which the shares of our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of
sale, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions,
through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options
exchange or otherwise, short sales or in a combination of such transactions;
2. each sale may be made at market prices
prevailing at the time of such sale, at negotiated prices, at fixed prices, or
at varying prices determined at the time of sale;
3. some or all of the shares of common
stock may be sold through one or more broker-dealers or agents and may involve
crosses, block transactions, or hedging transactions. The selling stockholders
may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or agents, which may in
turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging in
positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common
stock short and deliver shares of common stock to close out short positions, or
loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers or agent that in turn
may sell such shares; and
4. in connection with such sales through
one or more broker-dealers or agents, such broker-dealers or agents may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the
selling stockholders and may receive commissions from the purchasers of the
shares of common stock for whom they act as broker-dealer or agent or to whom
they sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to
particular broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the
types of transactions involved). Any broker-dealer or agent participating in any
such sale may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Securities Act and will be required to deliver a copy of this prospectus to any
person who purchases any share of common stock from or through such
broker-dealer or agent. We have been advised that, as of the date hereof, none
of the selling stockholders have made any arrangements with any broker-dealer or
agent for the sale of their shares of common stock. The selling stockholders and any
broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock
may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and
any profits realized by the selling stockholders and any commissions paid, or
any discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to
be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition,
any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
prospectus. If required at the time a
particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus
supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the shelf
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be distributed
which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being
offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any
broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms
constituting compensation from the selling stockholder and any discounts,
commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. Under the
securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such
states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in
some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have
been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that any selling
stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered
pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a
part. The selling stockholders and any
other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit
the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the
selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also
restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of
common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of
common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of
common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the shares of common stock. We will bear all expenses of the
registration of the shares of common stock including, without limitation,
Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with
state securities or "blue sky" laws. The selling stockholders will pay all
underwriting discounts and selling commissions and expenses, brokerage fees and
transfer taxes, as well as the fees and disbursements of counsel to and experts
for the selling stockholders, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders
against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in
accordance with the registration rights agreement or the selling stockholders
will be entitled to contribution. We will be indemnified by the selling
stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by
the selling stockholders for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the
related registration rights agreement or will be entitled to contribution. Once
sold under this shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a
part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons
other than our affiliates.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Our authorized
capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock,$.01 par value as
of July 20, 2005 the date of our most recent annual meeting. As of July 22,
2005, approximately 141 million shares of our common stock are issued and
outstanding and held by approximately 12,000 stockholders of record. Of the
shares of our issued and outstanding common stock, shares are covered by this
prospectus. In addition shares of our common stock authorized but unissued as of
the date of this prospectus will be issued on exercise of warrants held by
certain selling stockholders. The following
description of our capital stock is a summary of the material terms of such
stock. It does not purport to be complete and is subject in all respects to the
provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, copies of which
have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part and to applicable New Jersey law. Common Stock Each holder of
our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election
of Directors is not provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation, which
means that the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voted elects
the Directors then standing for election. The holders of outstanding shares of
common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available
for dividends, at such appropriate times and in such amounts as our Board of
Directors decides. The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights or
other subscription rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of common
stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after the
payment of liabilities. Shares of common stock shall be transferred only on our
books upon surrender to us or a duly appointed transfer agent of the certificate
or certificates properly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer.
Common Stock
Warrants This prospectus
also covers shares of common stock purchasable pursuant to outstanding warrants
and options. The exercise price of these warrants range from $.25 to $.45.
These warrants and options have expiration terms ranging from years 2005-2010. Filling
Vacancies on the Board The Certificate
of Incorporation provides that any vacancy on the Board that results from an
increase in the number of Directors during the interim between annual meetings
or special meetings of shareholders may be filled by the Board. These provisions
could temporarily prevent any shareholder from obtaining majority representation
on the Board by enlarging the Board and filling the new directorships with its
own nominees.
New Jersey Shareholders Protection Act There are
provisions of New Jersey law, and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws,
that may have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions are designed to protect
shareholders against coercive, unfair or inadequate tender offers and other
abusive tactics and to encourage any person contemplating a business combination
with us to negotiate with our Board of Directors for the fair and equitable
treatment of all shareholders. New Jersey has
adopted a type of anti-takeover statute known as the New Jersey Shareholders
Protection Act. Subject to numerous qualifications and exceptions, the statute
prohibits an interested shareholder of a corporation from effecting a business
combination with the corporation for a period of five years unless the
corporation's board approved the combination prior to the shareholder becoming
an interested shareholder. In addition, but not in limitation of the five-year
restriction, if applicable, corporations covered by the New Jersey statute may
not engage at any time in a business combination with any interested shareholder
of that corporation unless the combination is approved by the board prior to the
interested shareholder's stock acquisition date, the combination receives the
approval of two-thirds of the voting stock of the corporation not beneficially
owned by the interested shareholder, or the combination meets minimum financial
terms specified by the statute. An "interested shareholder" is defined to
include any beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any affiliate or associate of
the corporation who within the prior five year period has at any time owned 10%
or more of the voting power. The term "business combination" is defined broadly
to include, among other things: the merger or
consolidation of the corporation with the interested shareholder or any
corporation that after the merger or consolidation would be an affiliate or
associate of the interested shareholder, the sale, lease,
exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition to an interested
shareholder or any affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder of 10%
or more of the corporation's assets, or the issuance or
transfer to an interested shareholder or any affiliate or associate of the
interested shareholder of 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the stock
of the corporation. The effect of
the statute is to protect non-tendering, post-acquisition minority shareholders
from mergers in which they will be "squeezed out" after the merger, by
prohibiting transactions in which an acquirer could favor itself at the expense
of minority shareholders. The New Jersey statute generally applies to
corporations that are organized under New Jersey law, have either their
principal executive offices or significant business operations located in New
Jersey, and have a class of stock registered or traded on a national securities
exchange or registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
LEGAL MATTERS The validity of
the common stock we are offering pursuant to this prospectus will be passed upon
by Martin S. Smiley General Counsel to the Company. Mr. Smiley beneficially owns
an aggregate of 5,676,132 shares of common stock of the Company.
EXPERTS The financial
statements and schedules included in this prospectus and elsewhere in the
registration statement, to the extent and for the periods indicated in their
reports, have been audited or reviewed, as the case may be, by Rosenberg, Rich
,Baker, Berman & Company and audited or reviewed, as the case may be, by Arthur
Andersen, LLP and Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC, independent public
accountants, and are included in reliance upon the authority of said firms as
experts in giving said reports. Prior to the date of this prospectus, Arthur
Andersen was indicted in connection with its rendering of services to another
company. Therefore, Arthur Andersen withdrew from practice before the SEC
effective prior to the date hereof and many of the accountants at Arthur
Andersen have left their current jobs or have been searching for a new place of
employment. Based on these factors, after reasonable efforts, including numerous
phone calls, we were unable to contact our former audit partner at Arthur
Andersen and therefore were unable to obtain Arthur Andersen's consent to the
inclusion of their report dated October 12, 2001. Accordingly, we have dispensed
with the requirement to file their consent in reliance upon Rule 437a of the
securities act. Because Arthur Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of
their report in this prospectus, you will not be able to recover against Arthur
Andersen under Section 11 of the securities act for any untrue statements of a
material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen
or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated therein. As of
June 1, 2005, Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC, owns approximately 250,000
shares of common stock directly and indirectly; options to purchase 495,000
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock,
of which 1,085,800 shares are being registered pursuant to this prospectus. All
of such securities owned by Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC, other than
146,800 shares of common stock which it has acquired on the open market
subsequent to April 2001, were issued to Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC in
consideration for non-audit consulting services and/or satisfaction of payables
related to non-audit consulting services and were issued after Schuhalter,
Coughlin & Suozzo, PC was no longer our independent public accountants.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of
Directors and Stockholders of mPhase Technologies, Inc.: We have audited
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of mPhase Technologies, Inc. (a New
Jersey corporation in the development stage) and subsidiaries as of June 30,
2004 and June 30, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), cash flows and Schedule II (Valuation
and Qualifying Accounts, Item 14B) for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 2004 and for the period from inception (October 2, 1996) to June
30, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of
mPhase Technologies, Inc. for the period from inception to June 30, 2001. Such
amounts are included in the cumulative from inception to June 30, 2004 totals of
the statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows and
reflect total net loss of 78 percent of the related cumulative totals. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us
and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts for the period from inception
to June 30, 2001, included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the
report of the other auditors. We conducted our
audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material accounting 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. We believe that our
audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion. In our opinion,
based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of mPhase Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and
2003 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 2004 and for the period from inception
to June 30, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and is in
a working capital deficit position that raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these
matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. Rosenberg Rich

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of
Directors and Stockholders of mPhase Technologies, Inc.: We have audited
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of mPhase Technologies, Inc. (a New

2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in

amounts are included in the cumulative from inception to June 30, 2001 totals of
the statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows and
reflect total net loss of 6 percent of the related cumulative totals. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us
and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts for the period from inception
to June 30, 1998, included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the
report of the other auditors. We conducted our

mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF
BUSINESS mPhase Technologies, Inc. ("mPhase"
or the "Company") was organized on October 2, 1996. The primary business of
mPhase is to design, develop, manufacture and market high-bandwidth
telecommunications products incorporating digital subscriber line ("DSL")
technology. The present activities of the Company are focused on the deployment
of its TV+ System, which delivers MPEG2 digital television, high-speed Internet
and voice over copper wire. Additionally, the Company sells a line of DSL
component products. In February of 2004 , the Company entered the field of
Nanotechnology focused upon the development of batteries and power cells with
military applications as an additional product line. On February 17, 1997, mPhase
acquired Tecma Laboratories, Inc., ("Tecma") in a transaction accounted for as a
reverse merger. On June 25, 1998, the Company
acquired Microphase Telecommunications, Inc. ("MicroTel") a Delaware
corporation, through the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock in
exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of MicroTel (Note 4). The
assets acquired in this acquisition were patents and patent applications
utilized in the Company's proprietary Traverser Digital Video and Data Deliver
System ("Traverser"). On August 21, 1998, the Company
incorporated a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary called mPhaseTV.net, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, to market interactive television and e-commerce revenue
opportunities. This subsidiary is dissolved. On March 2, 2000 the Company
acquired a 50% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net, Inc., an incorporated joint
venture with AlphaStar International, Inc. (Note 8) for $20,000. The Company
acquired an additional interest in the joint venture of 6.5% in April of 2000
for $1.5 million. Based on its controlling interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net, the
operating results of mPhaseTelevision.Net are included in the consolidated
results of the Company since March 2, 2000. The Company is in the
development stage and its present activities are focused on the commercial
deployment of its legacy Traverser DVDDS and TV+ products for delivery of
broadcast television over ADSL and associated DSL component products which
include POTS splitters and a line of intelligent POTS splitter products and a
new line of power cell batteries being developed through the use of
Nanotechnology. Since mPhase is in the development stage, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as typical for normal
operating periods. 2. LOSSES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT
STAGE AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS Through June 30,
2004 and March 31, 2005 (unaudited) the
Company had incurred development stage losses totaling $115,775,083 and
$125,259,323, and at June
30, 2004 and at March 31, 2005 (unaudited) had a stockholders' deficit of $2,917,962
and $2,537,180, respectively. At June 30, 2004, the
Company had $90,045 of cash and cash equivalents and $64,100 of trade
receivables and at March 31, 2005 (unaudited), the Company had $237,828 of cash
and cash equivalents and $354,903 of trade receivables available to fund its short-term working capital requirements. The Company's ability to
continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability
to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, (2)
continue its research and development efforts, and (3) the successful wide scale
development, deployment and marketing of its products.
The
Company believes that it will be able to complete the necessary steps in order
to meet its cash flow requirements throughout fiscal 2005 and continue its
development and commercialization efforts. Management's plans in this regard
include, but are not limited to, the following: During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2004, the Company converted certain payables and accrued expenses with
a strategic vendor aggregating approximately $1.8 million into 5 year cashless
warrants to 5,069,200 restricted shares of the Company's common stock . Management estimates that the
Company will need additional minimum capital of $5.0-$10.0 million by June 30,
2005 to continue its operations either through revenues from sales, external
independent or related party funding further expense reductions some combination
thereof. The Company presently has ongoing discussions and negotiations with a
number of additional financing alternatives, one or more of which it believes
will be able to successfully close to provide necessary working capital, while
maintaining sensitivity to shareholder dilution issues. However, the
Company has no definitive agreements to provide funding at this time. In addition to the above
financing activities, the following business initiatives are also ongoing and
are expected to provide additional working capital to the Company.
The
Company is currently negotiating with several organizations for the commencement
of field trials that would lead to commercial sales of its broadcast television
platform products. The Company has had an upturn in sales of its POTS splitter
products for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, including sales to one
customer of approximately $3,551,812 million during such period. During the nine
month period ended March 31, 2005 the Company experienced a downtrend in sales
and sales to our main customer accounted for $719,000 of revenue. Management believes that actions
presently being taken to complete the Company's development stage through the
commercial roll-out of its broadcast television platforms will be successful.
However, there can be no assurance that mPhase will generate sufficient revenues
to provide positive cash flows from operations or that sufficient capital will
be available, when required, to permit the Company to realize its plans. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty. During the nine month period
ended March 31, 2005 the customers were
approximately $719,000. F-17
mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 3. SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF
CONSOLIDATION The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of mPhase, its wholly-owned and
majority owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
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.
RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain
reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial
statements to conform to the current period presentation. CASH AND CASH
EQUIVALENTS mPhase considers
all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less
to be cash equivalents. STOCK BASED
COMPENSATION Financial
Accounting Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,
encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation cost for
stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to
continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic method
prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost
for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price
of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must
pay to acquire the stock. The Company has adopted the "disclosure only"
alternative described in SFAS 123 and SFAS 148, which require pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of
accounting had been applied. Had compensation expense for stock options granted
under the Plan and certain warrants granted to employees in 2003 and 2004 been
determined based on fair value at the grant dates. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and
equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of three to five years. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Short-term investments
principally consist of highly-liquid shares of corporate securities. The Company
classifies all these short-term investments as available-for-sale securities.
Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. Any decline in market value judged to be other than temporary is
recognized in determining net income. Realized gains and losses from the sale of
these investments are included in determining net income (loss). REVENUE RECOGNITION All revenue included in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented
relates to sales of mPhase's POTS Splitter Shelves and DSL component products. As required, mPhase has adopted
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB")
No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements," which provides guidelines on applying
generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition based on the
interpretations and practices of the SEC. The Company recognizes revenue for its
POTS Splitter Shelf and other DSL component products at the time of shipment, at
which time, no other significant obligations of the Company exist, other than
normal warranty support. SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES The Company includes costs of
shipping and handling billed to customers in revenue and the related expense of
shipping and handling costs is included in cost of sales. BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS AND
CREDIT RISK To date the Company's products
have been sold to a limited number of customers, primarily in the
telecommunications industry. The Company had revenues from
two customers representing 39% and 21% of total revenues during the year ended
June 30, 2002. The Company had revenue from two customers of 31% and 25% during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The Company had revenue from two
customers of 76% and 14% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. F-18

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued) ADVERTISING
COSTS Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. COMPREHENSIVE
INCOME (LOSS) In addition to net loss,
comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period,
except those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. Items of
comprehensive income include foreign currency exchanges and unrealized gains and
losses on investments classified as available for sale. In 1998, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes rules for the
Reporting of Comprehensive Income and its components. For the years ended June
30,2004, June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, the items of comprehensive income
include unrealized gains and losses on investments the Company had classified as
available for sale. PATENTS AND LICENSES Patents and licenses are
capitalized when mPhase determines there will be a future benefit derived from
such assets, and are stated at cost. Amortization is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally five
years. Amortization expense was
$471,629, $468,495 and $86,395 for the years ended June 30, 2002, 2003, and
2004, respectively. The impairment test for the
Company's patents and license rights resulted in the Company concluding that no
impairment in addition to amortization previously recorded was necessary during
the year ended June 30, 2003. INVENTORIES Inventory consists mainly of the
Company's POTS Splitter Shelf and Filters. Inventory is comprised of the

LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company
accounted for long-lived assets for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 in
accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of," the Company reviewed its long-lived assets for
impairment when changes in circumstances indicate, that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. Such changes in circumstances consisted,
among other factors, significant changes in technology that may render an asset
or an asset group obsolete or noncompetitive, a significant change in the extent
or manner in which an asset is used, evidence of a physical defect in an asset
or asset group or an operating loss. In August 2001,
the FASB issued Statement No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," which became effective for the Company July 1, 2002 for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004. The Company assesses
long-term assets for impairment under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under SFAS No. 144, the Company
reviews long-term assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. The
Company also assesses these assets for impairment based on their estimated
future cash flows. F-19
mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts reported in
the consolidated balance sheets for mPhase's cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short
maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in
the consolidated balance sheets for mPhase's notes payable, long-term debt,
amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values and the amounts
recorded as other liabilities and other liabilities - related parties
approximate their fair values based on current rates at which the Company could
borrow funds with similar maturities. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND
DILUTED mPhase accounts for net loss per
common share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share" ("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 requires the disclosure of the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Common equivalent shares
have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS since their effect is
anti-dilutive. WARRANTY RESERVE The Company warrants that all
equipment manufactured by it will be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use for a period of one year from the date of shipment.
Through June 30, 2004, substantially all sales by the Company have been from
component telephone equipment parts, primarily the Company's POTS Splitter
Shelves. The Company's actual experience for cost and expenses incurred in
connection with such warranties have been insignificant. Warranty expense in the
amount of $30,000 has been added to the reserve to provide for future warranty
costs on fiscal 2004 sales. This brings the company's aggregate accrued
liability to $70,000 at this time. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2002, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities." This statement covers restructuring type activities beginning with
plans initiated after December 31, 2002. Activities covered by this standard
that are entered into after that date will be recorded in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 146. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations. In December 2002, the FASB
issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and
Disclosure," which provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation as prescribed in SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." Additionally, SFAS 148 required more prominent and more frequent
disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based
compensation. The provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2002, with early application permitted in certain
circumstances. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions in these
consolidated financial statements as disclosed above under Stock Based
Compensation . In November 2002, the FASB
issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (" FIN
45"). FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize
an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the
guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to
guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 are
effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and adoption
of the disclosure requirements are effective for the Company during the first
quarter ending January 31, 2003. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations. F-20
mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued) In January 2003, the FASB issued
FASB Interpretation No. 46 (" FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." FIN 46 requires certain variable
interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if
the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a
controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the
entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest
entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest
entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46
must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15,
2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial position or results of operations. In May 2003, the FASB issued
SFAS Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes
standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires
that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a
liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is 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, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic
entities, if applicable. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative
effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created
before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of
the interim period of adoption. The adoption of this statement is not expected
to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
position. STATEMENT OF

ACQUISITION OF MICROTEL In June 1998,
mPhase issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued
and outstanding shares of MicroTel, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microphase,
Inc. ("Microphase"). The transaction was accounted for as a purchase pursuant to
APB Opinion No. 16 "Accounting for Business Combinations". The total purchase
price of approximately $1,870,000, which was based on the fair market value of
the shares issued, was allocated to the patents acquired and is being amortized
over an estimated useful life of five years. Pursuant to the agreement of
merger, MicroTel has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of mPhase. 5. NOTE
RECEIVABLE As consideration
for a letter of settlement with a former consultant of mPhase, the Company had
loaned the former consultant $250,000 in the form of a Note (the "Note") secured
by 75,000 shares of the former consultants common stock of mPhase. The Note was
due April 7, 2001. The Company decreased the Note to $37,500, representing the
estimated value of the underlying stock at June 30, 2001. The Company charged
$212,500 to administrative expense as a result of this impairment. The Company
has included the $37,500, in long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet for the year ended June 30, 2001. The Company decreased the Note
to $17,250, representing the estimated value of the underlying stock at June 30,
2002. The Company charged $20,250 to administrative expenses as a result of the
further impairment of the underlying stock value at June 30, 2002 and has
maintained the same balance for the Note throughout the fiscal years ended June
30, 2003 and June 30, 2004. The Company has included the $17,250 in long-term
assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the years ended June
30, 2003 and June 30, 2004 and as of March 31, 2005. F-21

50% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net (formerly Telco Television Network, Inc.),
an incorporated joint venture, for $20,000. The agreement provided for the grant
of warrants to the joint venture partner in consideration of the execution of
the Joint Venture Agreement, to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common
stock for $4.00 per share (valued at $2,633,400). This non-cash charge is
included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of
operations for the year ended June 30, 2000. The fair value of the warrants
granted to the joint venture partner as of the date of grant was based on the
Black-Scholes stock option pricing model, using the following weighted average
assumptions: annual expected rate of return of 0%, annual volatility of 115%,
risk free interest rate of 5.85% and an expected option life of 3 years. The agreement stipulates for
mPhase's joint venture partner, AlphaStar International, Inc., ("Alphastar"), to
provide mPhaseTelevision.Net right of first transmission for its transmissions
of MPEG-2 digital satellite television. In addition, in March 2000, mPhase
loaned the joint venture $1,000,000 at 8% interest per annum. The loan is
repayable to the Company from equity infusions to the subsidiary, no later than

Listing. During April 2000, the Company acquired an additional 6.5% interest in
mPhaseTelevision.Net for $1,500,000. As of June 30, 2004 mPhase owns

mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY -
(Continued) STOCK INCENTIVE
PLANS
On August 15, 1997, mPhase
established its Long Term Stock Incentive Plan. Included as part of the Long
Term Stock Incentive Plan, is the Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), in which
incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be granted to
officers, employees and consultants of the Company. On February 23, 2000 the
Board of Directors proposed and on May 22, 2000 the stockholders approved an
increase in the total shares eligible under this plan to 15,000,000 shares.
Vesting terms of the options range from immediately to two years and generally
expire in five years. On May 30, 2001,
mPhase established the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2001 Plan"), in which
incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted to
officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The total shares eligible
under the 2001 Plan is 20,000,000 shares, in addition to the shares previously
authorized for issuance under the prior plan. Vesting terms of the options range
from immediately to two years and options generally expire in five years. The
maximum number of shares that may be granted during any one fiscal year to any
one individual under the 2001 Plan is limited to 2,500,000 shares. A summary of the stock option
activity for the years ended June 30, 2002, 2003, 2004 pursuant to the terms of
both plans, which include incentive stock options and non-qualified stock
options, is set forth on the below:

$ .87 The fair value
of options granted in 2002 and 2003 and options and compensatory warrants
granted in 2004 was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
stock option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:
annual expected return of 0%, annual volatility of 125.4% in 2002, 144.4% in
2003 and 145.3% in 2004 based upon a risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.1%
to 5.8% and expected option life of 4 years. The per share
weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2002, 2003 and 2004
was $.26, $.21, and $.35, respectively. The per share weighted average remaining
life of the options outstanding at June 30, 2002, 2003, and 2004 is 3.29, 2.80
and 2.88 years, respectively. mPhase has
elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion
No. 25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized for stock
options and certain compensating warrants granted to employees at fair market
value. Had compensation expense for stock options granted under the Plan and
certain warrants granted to employees in 2004, been determined based on fair
value at the grant dates, mPhase's net loss for 2002, 2003 and 2004 would have
been increased to the pro forma amounts shown below. During the
second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
, for stock-based employee compensation, effective as of the beginning of the
fiscal year. Under the modified prospective method of adoption selected by the
Company, stock-based employee compensation cost recognized in 2003 is the same
as that which would have been recognized had the fair value recognition
provisions of Statement 123 been applied to all awards granted after October 1,
1995. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per
share as if the fair value based method has been applied to all outstanding and
unvested awards in each period.

date of issuance. At any time after the date of issuance, the Company may, at
its option, elect to redeem all of these warrants at $0.01, subject to
adjustment, as defined, per warrant, provided that the average closing price of

agreement these 400,000 warrants were converted into 352,239 shares of common
stock. In accordance with the warrant agreement, the warrant holder had the
right to initiate a cashless exercise to convert the warrants into shares of common stock in lieu
of exchanging cash. The number of shares received was determined by dividing the
aggregate fair market value of the shares minus the aggregate exercise price of
the warrants by the fair market value of one share. F-33
