PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
You should read this Prospectus Summary together with the more detailed information contained in this prospectus, including the risk factors and financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed in the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
From inception (October 2, 1996), through December 31, 2004 the Company had incurred (unaudited) development stage losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $120,912,875 million and a stockholders' deficit of approximately $3,069,329 respectively. Cumulatively, through June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004, (unaudited) the Company had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $47.8 million and $50.9 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 12,000 shareholders and approximately 130,410,957 million shares of common stock outstanding as of March 15, 2005. mPhase is a developer of broadband communications products, specifically, digital subscriber line (DSL) products for telecommunications service providers around the world. Since our inception in 1996 we have been a development-stage company.
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.
Our primary activities have consisted of designing, manufacturing and testing our flagship products designed to deliver broadcast television over DSL. We have not, as yet, derived significant sales revenue from such products. Our products facilitate telephone companies becoming full service communications providers by enabling the simultaneous delivery of digital broadcast television, high speed data and voice services over the existing telephone line infrastructure. mPhase has developed its flagship line of products primarily for telephone companies in parts of the world where access to multi-channel television is limited.
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 capable of operating for significantly longer periods of time 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 uncooled magnetic ultra sensors as a new product line.
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 its newer TV+ platform. 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 is installed at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, where a limited user system is currently operational that is currently being replaced by the Company's newer TV + system. 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+ system replaced the legacy Traverser DVDDS system and is developed in conjunction with Bell Laboratories division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. The TV+ solution 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 operated with the legacy DVDDS system developed by GTRC. The TV+ system replaces the DVDDS system with an open industry standards-based platform. Release 1 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 (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. The mPhase TV+ system 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 (digital subscriber line access mutiplexer
commonly known as a DSLAM) for transport in the TV+ system results in a highly
scalable architecture for the delivery of broadcast television. This is
accomplished by internally multicasting each television channel for delivery
from the CO to a larger number of end users. Release 1.0 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 the most cost-effective 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. 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). We believe there is a significant cost
advantage when our mPhase TV+ solution is compared against other platforms
utilizing existing telephone lines containing the
In December of 2004, the Company announced that Lucent Russia selected the mPhase TV+ platform 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. 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, expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, will utilize 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 designed to deliver IP television, video on demand, high speed internet and voice over both fiber and copper infrastructures of a telephone service provider. It 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 down a single DSL line using ADSL2 supported DSLAM's and be capable of delivery of Video on Demand. As ADSL technology migrates forward to ADSL2 or ADSL2+, mPhase plans to include additional features in future versions of the TV+ system in a scalable, cost - effective manner depending upon actual market demand for such features in markets that mPhase is targeting. In addition, mPhase will be continuously updating its set top box to be used as part of the TV+ system and as a stand - alone product.
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. mPhase TV is experienced in negotiation contracts with broadcast television programming providers for U.S. markets. mPhase TV has secured licenses to resell programming for a significant number of channels of U.S. broadcast television over DSL. mPhase TV is capable of providing and arranging with packagers of television content a full complement of broadcast television channel content for U.S. telecommunications service providers that may be sent over DSL. This enables a U.S. telecommunications service provider to avoid the necessity of securing such contracting rights individually with many different providers of broadcast television content. mPhase owns approximately 57% of mPhase TV.
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. The Company has extended the contract with Lucent for another 12 months at approximately the same cost to continue development of such product. 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 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, and are being
designed to create a new generation of uncooled ultra sensitive magnetic field
sensors. mPhase DSL Component Products
mPhase also has designed 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 i POTS or Intelligent POTS splitter product. This product enables telephone service providers comprehensive remote and automated test access to all elements of a DSL network. The i POTS, and i POTS3 allow a telephone service provider to bypass POTS splitters on a DSL network and avoid having to manually intervene and disrupt line usage so a test signal can pass through a DSL network. This product marks an advancement in automating DSL loop management. As DSL deployments increase, it is becoming more important for telecommunications service providers to streamline the process for rolling-out and troubleshooting DSL services. Additionally, as competition for high speed Internet expands, the market is witnessing a reduction in the price for such service. Therefore, it has become imperative that telecommunications service providers lower the operational costs involved with deploying and supporting DSL services. Currently our i POTS 1 is designed for use with the Lucent Stinger, whereas, the iPOTS3 (recently renamed the Broadband Loop Watch product) is compatible with digital subscriber line access multiplexers (data transport devices) DSLAM's manufactured by other vendors. mPhase has a non-exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with Corning Cable Systems for the sale of the i POTS products and continues to market such products directly.
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.
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 six months ending December 31, 2004 (unaudited), sales from POTS Splitter Shelves and our TV + platform totalled $474,687 with a Net Loss of $5,137,792 compared to sales (exclusively of POTS SPLITTERS) of $3,780,137 and a Net Loss of $2,565,373 for the same period ending December 31, 2003.

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 Nanotechnology which entails significant 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 fuel 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. The Company believes that it will be a minimum of two years to develop a commercially viable revenue producing product. 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
mPhase's stock price has suffered significant declines during the past four years and remains volatile.
The market price of our common stock closed at $1.91 on February 20, 2001 and closed at $.465 on March 16, 2005. 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 six months (unaudited) ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 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) $5,137,977 and $2,565,377 for the six month period ending December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 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 December 31, 2004 (unaudited) and we have incurred (a) accumulated losses of $120,912,875 and a stockholder's deficit of $3,069,329 and (b) cumulative negative cash flow of $50,890,701. As of December 31, 2004 (unaudited) we have a negative net worth of $3,069,329 and negative working capital of $3,093,403.
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 for future issuance.
As of March 16, 2005, we have warrants, options and convertible notes outstanding convertible into approximately 76,110,420 shares and 24,822,333 shares restricted and 2,000,000 shares respectively of mPhase common stock which, upon conversion, may adversely affect the future price of our common stock. As of March 16, 2005 we have warrants and options convertible into approximately 66,267,795 and 13,215,000 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 March 16, 2005, the Company has approximately 2,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for the issuance upon the conversion of certain 12% convertible notes to related parties at an average exercise price $.28 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 either of our platform for delivery
of televison over DSL.
We have had to date no material revenues derived from sales of our legacy Traverser Digital Video Data Delivery System (DVDDS) that has been replaced by our mPhaseTV+ products or our new line of Intelligence POTS Splitters. There have been to date only one deployment of our TV+ platform for 1000 customers of a telecommunications service provider in Russia and no major deployments of Television over DSL 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 proucts 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 Watch product and our lines of 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 effect 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 provided 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 has 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 December 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 through the second quarter of 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 effect the cash available to the Company prior to commencement of sales of our flagship television platforms 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 out POTS splitter product that has been the source of all of our revenues to date.
We purchase the core torroid which 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+ product. 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+ product 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 + platform 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 may never develop for our TV + platform 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 continue to aggressively roll out DSL, 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+ platform. 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+ platform 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+ platform.
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+ product obsolete and intense competition in the industry could prevent our ever becoming profitable. Our competitors that sell DSL systems that compete with and mPhaseTV+ system include much larger and better known and capitalized companies with significantly greater selling and marketing experience and financial resources such as ADC, Alcatel S.A and Microsoft in a joint venture., Calis, Catena Networks, Copper Mountain, Diegeo, Advanced Fiber Communications, ECT Telecommunications, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Marconi, Motorola, NEC, Nortel, Huawei Technologies, Net to Net Technology, Nokia, UTS Starcom, DVTEL, Inc., Turnstone, Paradyne Networks, Samsung, 2 Wire, Siemens, TuT Systems Scientific Atlantic, and Optibase Wesell. We also face competition from companies that provide infrastructure software products to deliver multi-channel digital television over telephone such as Imagic TV, Minerva Corporation and Myrio Corporation.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+ product. Such additional capital costs to build a digital headend may cause a number of potential customers not to deploy our TV+ platform.
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 existing broadcast digital television platforms as Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology migrates forward to ADSL2 and ADSL2+ with enhanced features such as the ability to deliver multiple television channels to one set top box and continually cost-reduce our platforms consistent with the 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 either of our television platforms.
In order to have an incentive to deploy either the TV+ platform, 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 provided such content and therefore a local service provider must either 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 $39,168,942 if all of the warrants, options and convertible notes are converted to purchase shares of common stock registered under this prospectus are exercised, 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 12,000 shareholders and approximately 130 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, 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 have consisted of designing, manufacturing and testing our flagship products designed to deliver digital broadcast television over DSL. We have not, as yet, derived any significant revenue from such products. 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. 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 is currently operational. This trial system is being replaced and updated with Version 1.0 of our new TV+ system at Hart Telephone that is expected to be operational with a limited number of trial customers of broadcast television during fiscal year 2005. 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 2.1 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. The mPhase TV+ system 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 (digital subscriber line access mutiplexer
commonly known as a DSLAM) for transport in the TV+ system results in a highly
scalable architecture for the delivery of broadcast television. This is
accomplished by internally multicasting each television channel for delivery
from the CO to a larger number of end users. Release 1.0 and 2.1 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 the most cost-effective 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. 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). We believe there is a significant cost
advantage when our mPhase TV+ solution is compared against other platforms
utilizing existing telephone lines containing the
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, expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, will utilize 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+ system is a system management software 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 as well as down a single DSL line using ADSL2 supported DSLAM's and be capable of delivery of Video on Demand. As ADSL technology migrates forward to ADSL2 or ADSL2+, mPhase plans to include additional features in future versions of the TV+ system in a scalable, cost - effective manner depending upon actual market demand for such features in markets that mPhase is targeting. In addition, mPhase will be continuously updating its set top box to be used as part of the TV+ system and as a stand - alone product.
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. mPhase TV is experienced in negotiation contracts with broadcast television programming providers for U.S. markets. mPhase TV has secured licenses to resell programming for a significant number of channels of U.S. broadcast television over DSL. mPhase TV is capable of providing and arranging with packagers of television content a full complement of broadcast television channel content for U.S. telecommunications service providers that may be sent over DSL. This enables a U.S. telecommunications service provider to avoid the necessity of securing such contracting rights individually with many different providers of broadcast television content. mPhase owns approximately 57% of mPhase TV.
mPhase DSL Component Products
. mPhase also has designed and markets 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 i POTS or Intelligent POTS Splitter product. The i POTS 1 product is designed to work in conjunction the Lucent Stinger DSLAM. A newly developed version of the product called the i POTS 3 (renamed the Broadband 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. 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. The
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. The Company has extended such Agreement for another 12 months at the cost of $100,000 per month through February of 2006 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 codevelop 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 ultrasensitive 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 and other homeland security products.
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 mPhase TV+ product 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 the mPhaseTV+ products 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 Traverser, the i POTS, the TV+ and nanotechnology products respectively. The TV+ solution consists of the newly developed mPhase Broadcast Television Switch together with the Lucent Stinger voice and data delivery system product. 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+ platform, the POTS Splitter Shelves, the i POTS 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
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 $149,427. 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 a respectively. 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 has 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's
i POTS3 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 InI 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
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 $3,836,402, 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.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2004 vs. December 31, 2003
Revenue
Total revenues were $474,687 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 compared to $3,780,137 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 representing a decrease of $3,305,450. 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 $374,905 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 as compared to $3,289,937 in the prior period, representing 79% of gross revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2005 which ended December 31, 2004 and 87% for the six months of fiscal 2004 which ended December 31, 2003, 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 six months of fiscal 2005, which ended December 31, 2004, increased by 10% over the margins for the same period ended December 31, 2003 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 $2,156,161 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 as compared $1,454,899 during the comparable period in 2003, or an increase of $701,262. This increase consisted of increased spending in the TV+ product development of $201,262 and Nanotechnology battery exploratory research of $500,000 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 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2005. The contracts call for payments totaling $1,536,680 payable in project milestones of $158.6 thousand each over the contract. As of December 31, 2004 the Company has made payments equal to $752,680 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 $800,000 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, the
ipots and the 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 without manual intervention. 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. 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 $2,780,291 for the six
months ending December 31, 2004 up from $1,518,411 or an increase of $1,261,880
from the comparable period in 2003. 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, which totaled $1,127,283
for the six months ended December 31, 2004 as compared to $307,245 for the
comparable period ended December 31, 2003 resulting in an increase of $820,038.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is also
attributable to $185,721 of expenses associated with adjustments of offering
prices of certain of the private placements completed in fiscal year 2005.
Additionally travel expenses increased by $69,494 and increased spending in
advertising, trade shows and marketing and resulting expenses amounted to an
aggregate of $119,503.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 expense was $128,506 for the six months ending December 31, 2004, up from $74,082, or an increase of $54,424 from the comparable period in 2003. The decrease is a result of the company's reduced outlays for capital expenditures in its two most recent 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.
Net Loss
The Company recorded a net loss of $5,137,192 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 as compared to a loss of $2,565,377 for the six months ended December 31, 2003. This represents a loss per common share of $.06 for the six month period ended December 31, 2004 as compared to a loss per common share of $.04 for the six months ending December 31, 2003; based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 91,474,828 and 72,251,251 during the periods ending December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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 ProductThe Company believes the initial deployments and resultant revenues of its Flagship product the TV+ are not expected until the second half of fiscal year 2005, 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 an 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 same period
ended June 30, 2003. 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 June 30, 2004 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 June 30, 2004 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 finished goods, primarily consisting of DSL splitter shelves and filters, from Janifast Limited. The Company has incurred costs for obtaining transmission rights. This enabled the Company to obtain retransmission accreditation to proprietary television content that the Company plans to provide with its flagship product, the Traverser within its incorporated joint venture mPhase Television.Net, in which the Company owns a 56.5% interest.
Directors that are significant shareholders of Janifast Limited include Messrs Ronald A. Durando, Gustave T. Dotoli, and Necdet F. Ergul.
Mr. Michael McInerney, an outside Director, is employed by Lintel Inc. and Mr. Abraham Biderman was employed until September 30, 2003 by our former investment banking firm Lipper & Company.
Messrs, Biderman, McInerney 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. In addition the Company is currently replacing the Traverser with its new TV+ solution with customers of Hart Telephone. A member of mPhase's Board of Directors 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 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. Significant charges from related parties are summarized for

From inception (October 2, 1996) through December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 the Company has incurred cumulative (a) development stage losses and has an accumulated deficit of $120,912,875 and $115,775,083 respectively and (b) negative cash flow from operations of $50,890,701 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 June 30, 2004, the Company had a negative net worth of $2,917,962 down from a negative net worth of $3,228,886.
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 December 31, 2004 mPhase had working capital deficit of $3,093,403 as compared to working capital deficit of $2,111,452 at June 30, 2004. Through December 31, 2004, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $120,912,875. At December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $1,010,903 of cash, cash equivalents and approximately $206,069 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 December 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $1,010,903 compared to $90,045 at June 30, 2004, accounts
receivable of $13,909 and inventory of $1,153,232. This compared to $64,100 of
accounts receivable and $1,237,972 of inventory at June 30, 2004. Cash used in operating activities was $3,037,959 during the six months ending
December 31, 2004. 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 $1,031,926 offset by depreciation and amortization of $128,506,
and by non-cash charges of $1,222,054 for common stock options and warrants
issued for services and offset by cash outflow from an increase in inventory of
approximately $237,251. The Company expects that it will not have a need to
increase inventory 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 December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $13,539,932
from the period from inception through December 31, 2004.. 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 six months ending December 31, 2004, certain strategic vendors and
related parties converted approximately $543,975 million of accounts payable and
accrued expenses into 2,739,875 shares of the Company's common stock and warrants to
purchase 2,739,575 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, expects 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 t o
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:

Effective November 28, 2004 and September 2,, 2004, the Company entered into software development agreements with Espiral and Magpie respectively calling for the payments of $95,000and $312,000 in connection with development of Version 3.0 of its TV+ system. Effective September 22, 2004, the Company became obligated to pay Lucent Technologies Inc. a total amount of $1.2 million for development of Version 3.0 of its TV+ product. 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.
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 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 December 31, 2004, the Company has
raised in the current fiscal year approximately $3,945,190. 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 56,216,363 million shares of common stock at exercise prices
ranging from $.25 to approximately $.45 per share which may trade "in the money"
and can be exercised during the next 12 months; the likelihood and potential for
which will 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 2004 and for the second half 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. Subsequent to the December 31 Quarterly Report Date, outstanding
subscriptions receivable 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, the company converted a $ 100, 000 convertible note
payable to Martin Smiley 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. Current Developments
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 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 ordinary copper telephone lines. 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. mPhase is not seeking, at this point in time, to develop robust feature-intensive expensive television platforms to compete with cable in the United States currently both of our TV over DSL solutions support a single television stream over a telephone wire. 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 and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems development of both its TV+ product and its exploratory development of power source array fabrication using nanotextured superhydrophobic materials to 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 have 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 the manufacture of quantities of POTS Splitters that are made by Janifast Ltd.
With respect to manufacturing of its TV+ Platform, 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.
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+ platform added significant software and hardware value to the Stinger DSL product by enabling such product to deliver broadcast television over ADSL 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. 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 products. The i POTS 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. mPhase has established a worldwide non-exclusive distribution agreement with Corning Cable for the i POTS product and continues to market such product directly.Industry Background
The Company believes there is a significant market for its television over DSL products, in particular, for its latest TV+ Platform. 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
multi-channel television services outside of North America in 2002 was only 36%.
The mPhaseTV+ platform 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 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 copper 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 systems
DSL 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 Television Over DSL Solution
mPhase markets and sells a line of innovative DSL (digital subscriber line)-based broadband telecommunications equipment. Our flagship product line is our TV+ solution enabling the delivery of television over DSL. This product facilitates telephone companies becoming full service communications providers by enabling the simultaneous delivery of digital broadcast television, high speed data and voice services over the existing telephone line infrastructure. mPhase has developed its TV+ solution with a specific target in mind, specifically, 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 is installed at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, that is currently being upgraded to the TV+ solution. 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.
mPhase recently has completed development of Versions 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ product and has recently commenced development of its new IP based Version 3.0 of the TV+ solution.
Bell Labs approached mPhase about creating a hybrid, mPhaseTV+ solution that would capitalize upon the strengths of each company's DSL platform in December of 2002. Prior to this, Bell Labs had 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. Versions 1.0 and 2.o of the TV+ platform eliminates the need for telephone
companies to replace their already installed equipment. Because this solution is
modular, telephone companies that already have Stingers deployed can quickly and
easily upgrade to support television in addition to data and voice services.
There are currently 4 million Stinger ports deployed in 20 countries around the
globe that deliver voice and data over DSL. With minor modifications, mPhase's
BTS and Traverser CPE are also interoperable with other leading vendor's DSLAMs
on the market today, making it possible for any telephone company with an
installed base of equipment to quickly and relatively inexpensively become full
service communications providers. Version 3.0 of the TV+ platform will be an 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. In contrast to the Versions 1.0 and
2.0, Version 3.0 will interoperate with the Stinger as well as DSLAM's of all
other major vendors and give a telephone service provider ultimate software
enabling flexibility resulting the lowest cost of deployment by providing a
total open architecture allowing a telephone company to optimize its own system
solution for delivery of a "triple play" of services based upon the
characteristics of its customer base and the topology of its current
infrastructure. 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 Systems 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 of mPhase's broadcast television switch (BTS) as an intergrated platform with the Lucent Stinger DSL Access Concentrator.
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 $474,687
in revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2004,
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. We have just received our first order for 1000 ports of our broadcast television platform over DSL platform and our first order for $1 million of our IPOTS-s 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+
platform.
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+ Platform.Versions 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 Version 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.
The Company believes the initial major deployments and any revenues from sales of its flagship TV+ product, are not expected until the third or fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005. 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)
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 CPE 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
i POTS, (intelligent POTS Splitter), product line includes the i POTS 1 and the i POTS 3 . These products mark 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. These products reduce the operational costs of deploying and maintaining DSL services. The i POTS 3 is an upgrade from the original i POTS 1 , allowing service providers a 3-way view of the network and is compatible with DSLAM's of most vendors. The i POTS 1 is 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.
mPhase Television.Net, Inc.
mPhase Television. Net, Inc. (mPhase TV) has established licensing agreements with content originators thus allowing service providers to offer subscribers a full complement of U.S. television programming. mPhase TV has secured rights to rebroadcast television content from
U.S. network and cable broadcasters. mPhase TV can offer programming content
in the U.S. to U.S. telephone service providers seeking to deploy either of
mPhase's television platforms. This eliminates the need for service providers
from having to negotiate many separate contracts with U.S. broadcast television
programmers. It is important to note that the role of mPhaseTV has changed since its
inception. Originally, mPhaseTV was to act as a content aggregator, downlinking
a complete lineup of channels, digitizing those channels and uplinking them via
satellite for further delivery to each telco site. The benefit of mPhaseTV
acting as a content aggregator was that service providers would not have to
build a full-scale headend that included encoders, and other equipment. However,
recent advances in technology have significantly reduced the costs for a
telephone company to build a full scale headend. Therefore the role of mPhaseTV
is now limited to providing the appropriate licenses and relationships as
opposed to offering a content aggregation solution. Telephone companies
purchasing content through mPhaseTV are required to build a full-scale digital
headend. In March of 2000, mPhase provided the initial funding for mPhaseTV, by
lending it $1,000,000 at 8% per annum interest. The loan is repayable to us in
common stock at the time that mPhase Television qualifies for listing in the
NASDAQ Small Cap Market. We also contributed $20,000 in cash to the joint
venture and granted options to Alphastar Internal Inc. (Alphastar) to purchase
200,000 shares of our stock for $4.00 per share. The agreement required
Alphastar to provide mPhase Television the right to transmit television
broadcasts over Alphastar's digital satellite network. On May 1, 2000, we
acquired an additional 6.5% interest in mPhase Television for an additional
$1,500,000 in cash. We report mPhaseTV as a consolidated subsidiary. As part of its cost reduction efforts in fiscal year 2002, mPhase
renegotiated its joint venture relationship with Alphastar that originally
established mPhaseTV. Under the new arrangement, mPhaseTV terminated its lease
of the rights to use Alphastar's earth station satellite uplink and downlink
facility in Oxford, CT. Such facilities had enabled mPhaseTV to aggregate
television content from the multiple networks and content providers eliminating
the need for telecommunications service providers in the United States from
building a master headend as an additional cost to the TV+ platform. As noted
above, recent developments in technology have significantly reduced the cost of
such master headend facilities which eliminates the need for mPhase to aggregate
television content. mPhaseTV may serve as a strategic asset for selling the
mPhase's video over DSL solutions in the U.S. by having secured the rights to
transmit over DSL over a number of television channels directly from the content
providers for test deployments. This experience should be helpful to a U.S.
telecommunication services provider from purchasing the TV+ television delivery
platform in future efforts to assemble such rights itself from each of such
content providers. mPhase currently owns a 56% controlling interest in mPhaseTV.
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 December 31, 2004 a total of $2,764,522 for development of its TV+ solution which commenced in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. In September of 2004, mPhase announced a new Project Development contract with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies Inc to develop Version 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 $470,400 primarily to Lucent Technologies Inc and Magpie as of March 1, 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. As of March 1, 2005, the Company owes to Lucent Technologies Inc., two final monthly payments totaling $200,000 that have been invoiced under the contract. 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 television over DSL solutions include telephone companies and telecommunications service providers worldwide. By deploying converged voice, video and data over their existing copper 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, both the Traverser and the mPhaseTV+ platform have now become necessary solutions for all telecommunications service providers to compete effectively in today's marketplace.
We estimate that on average, a typical telco using mPhase's current Version
1.0 and 2.1 of its TV+ platform utilizing the Lucent Stinger 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 video over DSL platforms 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 either of our TV platforms 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 over DSL platform, 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 over DSL
platforms. The Company expects to derive the majority of its system sales
abroad, specifically from telephone service providers in Europe, Latin America,
Asia and Africa. Additionally, the modular video elements of mPhase's mPhaseTV+
platform (i.e., the BTS and INI) can be retrofitted to existing Lucent Stinger
deployments. mPhase, through the support of Lucent, anticipates targeting many
of the customers of Lucent that currently have deployed over 4 million ports of
the Stinger data and voice delivery product in over 20 countries around the
globe. mPhase believes that foreign telco markets will adopt its TV
over DSL product solutions more rapidly than domestic service providers since
there is not generally the demand outside of the United States for robust cable
features (such as simultaneous delivery of 3 different TV channels through one
set top box) as there is in the United States. Therefore, the Company has placed
much of its initial emphasis on targeting the international telco 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 TV over DSL 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. The following table represents the estimated number of television viewers in
select countries.

Competition in the telco 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.
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 telco is the especially vulnerable to these competitive threats and has a need to develop new product delivery capabilities to increaserevenues 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.
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 benefit from the incremental revenue generated by services offered through mPhase's TV-over-DSL platforms.
Beyond selling its solution to telephone companies, mPhase believes it will eventually experience success in serving the global multi-dwelling unit (MDU) market. This market consists of large residential or multi-office complexes, hotels, and campus environments. The MDU can effectively become its own multichannel television content distributor using either the Traverser or the mPhaseTV+ solution by building a digital video head-end to downlink broadcast television programming and installing mPhase's equipment.
mPhase is in the process of evaluating market opportunities in North America and around the world to address commercial applications of the Traverser DVDDS and TV+ platforms. 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
TV over DSL products
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's initial product offerings, Versions 1.0 and 2.1 of the TV+ is designed to utilize Lucent Technologies' Stinger for transport. By
adding an mPhase BTS at the central office and mPhase's standards-based
digital set top box at the customer premises, mPhaseTV+ services can be added
anywhere the Stinger is or going to be deployed. The Lucent Stinger is an
already proven solution with over 4 million ports deployed in 20 countries
around the globe. In parts of the world lacking cable infrastructure where the
Stinger is deployed represents an opportunity to retrofit these deployments with
television services. And for new deployment opportunities, mPhase will 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. mPhase has also established a reseller agreement with Lucent, making it a
part of Lucent's Global Business Partner organization. As a result of this
agreement, mPhase can sell carriers a complete solution by reselling the Lucent
Stinger along with mPhase's BTS and Set Top Box. In addition,
mPhase and Lucent are developing a joint marketing program. As part of this
program, the two companies will identify target markets where their combined
television, voice and data over DSL solution is most competitive. Together,
Lucent and mPhase will approach Lucent's established global business partners
with the mPhaseTV+ solution for further marketing to targeted telecommunications
service providers. This partnership represents a tremendous opportunity for
mPhase, as Lucent has over 250 business partners in more than 40 countries
around the globe. 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 television over DSL system, yet recognize the potential business opportunity for such a platform.
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 is pursuing a JV in Turkey where the funding partners include companies that own newspapers and television stations that are looking to expand their revenues. 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 equipment sales, but would benefit from the recurring revenues from a JV engaged in being a broadcast television service provider.
DSL Component Products
mPhase also sells a line of DSL component products including: POTS Splitter Shelves
i POTS Splitters, 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.
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 recently entered into software development and licensing agreements with Magpie with respect to certain software used in connection with Version 3.0 of its TV+ product. Such development and licensing Agreement call for aggregate payments of approximately $320,000 plus a licensing fee per set top box sold as par of the TV+product. It is anticipated that the Company will enter into a second development agreement with Magpie in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 calling for payments of approximately $430,000 in order to complete software development necessary for Release 3.0 of its TV+ solution.

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 digital intellectual property that we license provides several unique
aspects of the Traverser DVDDS. Among these is the backplane design, which
provides every subscriber the ability to view any channel available. All
subscribers in a given system could be watching the same channel, or could be
watching different channels with no degradation of service. The proprietary
design, which does not incorporate a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer
architecture, makes the Traverser DVDDS a true broadcast system rather than a
mere video delivery system. The patent issued on March 27, 2001 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation
for the System and Method for Maintaining Timing Synchronization in a Digital
Video Network covers the development of the Framer and the Framer chip. The
Framer is an Integrated Circuit which gives the Traverser the capability of
allocating both the downstream and upstream bandwidth into virtually any
application required. This feature allows the Traverser to deliver both MPEG-2
Digital Video and Internet data simultaneously and also allows for future
applications of the Traverser This technology is exclusively licensed worldwide
to mPhase Technologies, Inc.The patent issued on November 27, 2001 to the
Georgia Tech Research Corporation for the Method and Apparatus for Combining a
Plurality of 8B/10B Encoded Data Streams addresses video data transport between
digital headends and the access network serving subscribers. A further patent is
pending covering other methods of video program transport. 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 plans to file joint patent applications with Lucent Technologies
Inc. 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 DSL and/or video over DSL equipment. 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 television platforms are 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 TV-over-DSL solutions either because of the threat of the cable companies, or because of the lack of cable infrastructure. The Company believes that its TV over DSL platforms are the most cost effective and robust video delivery technology deployable by our primary target market of international telecommunications service providers. Installing our platforms 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 DSL and Video over Copper (VoC) Equipment Manufacturers
mPhase competes with vendors of DSL equipment and system software. Companies that supply DSL technology including 2Wire, ADC telecom, Advanced Fiber Communications, Alcatel, Broadcom, Copper Mountain, Corning Cable System, Ericson, Fujtsu, Motorola, Minerva, ECI Telecom, Turnstone, Westell, Teradyne, TuT Systems, Marconi Communications, NEC, Nokia, Paradyne, Samsung, Texas Instruments, DVTel, Inc., Pace Micro Tech., Net to Net, and Myrio.
Other Video-over-DSL technologies compete with the TV+ platform are summarized below.
Differentiating Factors
mPhase believes that it offers the most reliable, scaleable and cost effective television over copper solutions. The mPhase TV+ over DSL solution is designed specifically to enable delivery of broadcast television over DSL. Versions 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ platform are basic ATM solutions for delivery of digital broadcast television over DSL without expensive features such as interactive television, video-on-
demand and simultaneous multi channel delivery over a copper telephone line.
Such features will be available on our new IP based Version 3.0 of the TV+
system expected to be available during fiscal year 2005. Versions 1.0 and 2.0 of
the TV+ product are ATM solutions for parts of the world that are in need of
"just TV" rather than costly, feature rich solutions. We believe there is a
significant market that is not currently serviced world wide for delivery of
broadcast television programming on a cost-effective basis. mPhase's future IP
solution is a streamlined solution is designed to be the most cost-effective
scaleable solution in emerging international markets as well as flexible enough
to be upgraded with enhanced features of more robust systems for high end
customers. There are a number of telecommunications equipment providers competing in the
television over DSL space. For instance, a new division of Motorola (formerly
known as Next Level Communications) has secured over 100 customers predominantly
in the United States. The majority of their video deployments utilize a specific
form of DSL known as VDSL (very fast digital subscriber line). VDSL requires
that telecommunications service providers install fiber optics into the
neighborhood, or close to the customer premises because signals can only travel
up to 3-4,000 feet over copper telephone wires. As a result, compared to the
mPhase solutions, the platform is significantly more capital intensive and
therefore expensive due to the cost of the infrastructure upgrade (i.e.,
installing fiber optics closer to the customer premises). Motorola has also
introduced an ADSL version of its equipment, which has a serviceable distance
radius of approximately 8,000 feet. This newer product could compete more
directly with both the ATM and IP versions of the TV+ over DSL solutions.
Motorola's Television over DSL products tend to be more feature rich and
expensive than mPhase's Version 1.0 and 2.0 TV+ solutions. Motorola concentrates
the majority of its sales efforts within the US market where consumers demand a
robust viewing experience due to the penetration of fiber and cable. Another company that sells equipment similar to mPhase is Alcatel. Alcatel is
the leading supplier of DSLAMS (digital subscriber line access multiplexers)
around the globe. Alcatel has deployed several video over DSL trials although
its largest, with Aliant Telecom in Canada, was discontinued. Historically,
Alcatel has worked with multiple equipment vendors to create a complete,
end-to-end video solution, including software providers and set top box
provider, Pace. Recently Alcatel acquired iMagicTV, adding to its product line
for delivery of television over DSL. Alcatel recently announced upgrades to its
DSLAM line or products to better support the delivery of converged voice, video
and data. Other major competition in the DSLAM market include UT Starcom and HUWAEI
Company. Lucent also offers another video-over-DSL solution currently deployed at
SakTel in Canada. This solution, similar to Motorola's products, offers greater
functionality and features, however is more costly in terms of per port
equipment cost than the TV+ platform. Finally, other smaller vendors are
emerging, partnering with third party equipment vendors to create a
video-over-DSL platform. Equipment providers such as Net to Net and Paradyne are
modifying their data platforms to support the delivery of television services.
However, mPhase believes it has certain cost of equipment advantages over other
vendors making its system more economically viable for potential customers. The
Company believes that the strength of the video-centric BTS coupled with the
strength of the data-centric Lucent Stinger make its solution extremely
competitive in its target markets. Headend Equipment Providers
As discussed earlier, mPhase does not manufacturer digital head end gear. All customers interested in deploying an mPhase video over DSL system 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.
Employees
We presently have nineteen (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 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.

Employment Agreements
All employment agreements with our current management have expired and are in
the process of being renegotiated subject to approval of the Board of Directors
of the Company. Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan
We have a Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, under which we have reserved for issuance 15,000,000 shares of common stock. Our shareholders approved our 2001 Stock Incentive Plan at our annual meeting of shareholders on May 30, 2001. The plan provides for grants of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to our key employees and consultants and those key employees and consultants of our subsidiaries.
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 three (3) non-employee directors and approximately ten
(10) 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.

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 hold 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

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering for resale by 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 upon exercise of warrants. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock, although we may receive up to approximately $39,122,942 upon the conversion of convertible notes 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 selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of 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:
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;
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;
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
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 250,000,000 shares of common stock,
without par value. As of March 15, 2005, approximately 130 million shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding and held by approximately
16,000 stockholders of record. Of the shares of our issued and outstanding
common stock, shares are covered by this prospectus. In addition shares or 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 $.20 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 and 5,676,132 shares are being registered as part of this prospectus.
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 March 11, 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.

amounts for the period from inception to June 30, 1998, included in the

mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2004
(Unaudited for the Periods Ended December 31, 2003 and 2004)
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, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling $115,775,083, and at June 30, 2004 had a stockholders' deficit of $2,917,962. At June 30, 2004, the Company had $90,045 of cash and cash equivalents and $64,100 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.
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. 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
does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. F-14

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
(Unaudited for the Periods Ended December 31, 2003 and 2004)
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-15

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 following:

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 may include, among other factors, a significant change 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.

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.

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.
<R>
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.

4. 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.

8. JOINT VENTURE In March 2000, mPhase acquired a 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 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, 2004 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 accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, June 30, 2003 and ended June 30,
2004, the joint venture was charged $69,000, $0 and $0, respectively for fees
and costs by its joint venture partner and its affiliates. F-19

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:
NUMBER OF | WEIGHTED | |

Exercisable at June 30, 2004 | 17,725,000 | $ .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.

WARRANTS
In January and April 1998, mPhase issued 25,000 and 50,000 warrants, respectively, each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.06 and $2.44, respectively, for consulting services. The warrants expire five years from the 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 the common stock for 20 business days within any period of 30 consecutive business days exceeds $5.00 per share. As of June 30, 2001, none of these warrants remain outstanding.
In July 1998, in connection with the private placements, mPhase issued 400,000 warrants, each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

On July 26, 1999, pursuant to the warrant 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. In September 1998, mPhase issued 6,666 warrants for services, each to
purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The
warrants expire five years from the date of grant. The Company determined the
fair market value of the warrants issued under the Black-Scholes Option Pricing
Model to be $16,302. This amount is included in the Company's general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations
as of June 30, 1999. These warrants were exercised during the year ended June
30, 2000 generating proceeds to the Company of $5,000. In June 1999, in connection with the private placements, mPhase also issued
400,000 warrants each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price
of $1.00 per share. The warrants were to expire five years from the date of
grant. These warrants were exercised during the year ended June 30, 2000
generating proceeds of to the Company of $400,000. In January 2000, in connection with private placements,
mPhase issued 200,000 and 50,000 warrants, each to purchase one share of common
stock, at an exercise price of $4.00 and $5.00, respectively. The net proceeds
of the private placement were allocated to the warrants and the common stock
based on their respective fair values. The warrants were to expire five years
from the date of issuance. These warrants were exercised in February 2000. During the year ended June 30, 2001, mPhase issued 4,980,125 warrants to
investors including 1,550,625 warrants to existing investors as compensation
which resulted in a charge of $1,249,804 to operations based upon the fair value
of the warrants issued as determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing
model, and 162,600 to finders, consultants and investment banking firms, each of
these warrants to purchase one share each of the Company's common stock at
$3.00, for five years, in connection with private placements. F-25
