About Us
mPhase Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”, “mPhase”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a publicly-held New Jersey company founded in 1996 with approximately 23,000 shareholders and approximately 2,892,510,073 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 30, 2011. The Company's Common Stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL. The Company has offices in Little Falls, New Jersey as well as Norwalk, Connecticut and is a development-stage company.
Historically we have had net operating losses each year since our inception
As of September 30, 2011, we have an accumulated deficit of ($200,823,117) and a stockholder’s deficit of ($5,049,816) and a net loss of $6,179,222 for the three months then ended. As of June 30, 2011, we have an accumulated deficit of ($194,643,955) and a stockholder’s deficit of ($5,591,774). We incurred net losses of $486,391 and $7,365,745 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 respectively. The auditors’ report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 includes the statement that "there is substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern".
Business of the Company
Prior to February of 2004, the Company had been in the telecommunications industry focusing on hardware/software solutions for telephone service providers for the delivery of voice, digital television and high-speed internet, which businesses the Company discontinued in December of 2007.
In February of 2004 the Company engaged the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. to develop a new type of power cell energy storage device. Taking advantage of a superhydrophobic effect or suspension of a liquid electrolyte on silicon, Bell Labs created for the Company a reserve battery product with a virtually unlimited shelf-life prior to initial activation. This result was achieved by causing the suspension, in droplet form, of liquid electrolyte on a “smart surface” or repellant such as silicon. The phenomenon is based upon the superhydrophobic effect similar to beads of raindrops forming on a leaf in nature. An electronic impulse is used to trigger the process of “electrowetting” or collapse of the droplet and the mixing of the electrolyte, thereby providing a low level source of energy.
The Company’s first product is its Smart NanoBattery, a reserve battery having significant potential military applications for providing low energy power-sources needed to power guidance systems on small munitions as well as reserve sources of power needed to back up computer-memory systems. The Smart Battery is only activated upon command by either a g force or magnetic pulse and therefore has a virtually unlimited shelf-life prior to initial activation as a reserve source of energy. The Company believes there is a significant need for energy storage products that can be activated on command and that are guaranteed to generate reserve sources of power for mission-critical activities.
The Company has also developed a second product line designed by and co-branded with Porsche Design Studio, a premiere world-class company specializing in high-end products for the luxury automotive manufacturer. The Company’s double barrel illuminator is an emergency flashlight designed primarily as an accessory product for automobiles. The designer flashlight utilizes the Company’s new mechanically-activated battery with a shelf life of up to 20 years serving as a backup source of power to its primary batteries. The Company has completed a pilot program of distribution of such flashlight over the internet and has received an initial order for 140 such flashlights to be sold through Porsche Design’s Studio’s stores located in approximately 100 cities globally. mPhase’s research and product development now focuses on developing “smart surfaces” using materials science engineering, nanotechnology science and the principles of microfluidics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The Company develops products for both commercial and military applications. As noted above, the Company's first flagship product is its Smart NanoBattery providing Power On Command™. The new patent pending and patented battery technology, based on the phenomenon of electrowetting, offers a unique way to store energy and manage power. Features of the Smart NanoBattery include potentially infinite shelf life, environmentally friendly design, fast ramp to power, programmable control, and direct integration with microelectronic devices. The platform technology behind the Smart NanoBattery is a porous nanostructured material used to repel and precisely control the flow of liquids. The innovative material is a Smart Surface that can potentially be designed for other innovative products such as self-cleaning applications, water purification/desalination, liquid filtration/separation, and environmental cleanup.
5
We have developed and maintain a portfolio of patents and patent applications that form the proprietary base for our research and development efforts in the area of “smart surfaces.” We believe that our intellectual property portfolio, which currently includes seven issued patents either directly owned or licensed by the Company and eight filed patent applications in various stages of review, is very strong. Our research and development over the years includes some of the world's leading institutions including Alcatel/Lucent Bell Labs. We believe our technology base, combined with our know-how, provides us with a strong competitive advantage and will facilitate future successful development and commercialization of additional products for use in a variety of potential military and commercial products. mPhase has recently completed work under a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) grant of approximately $750,000, as part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, from the U.S. Army. Under the grant the Company has continued development of its Smart NanoBattery as a reserve battery for critical mission computer memory. Such reserve battery can be activated by an electronic pulse.
Consistent with its strategy of developing cutting-edge energy products, the Company announced on July 28, 2011 that it has signed a letter of intent to acquired Energy Innovative Products, Inc. (EIP), a privately-held Nevada corporation. EIP is a developer of proprietary technology for reducing energy usage in refrigeration and cooling systems. The Company plans to acquire 81% of the outstanding shares of common stock of EIP in exchange for shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock in the Company.
About This Offering
Convertible Note
On September 13, 2011 the Company sold John Fife a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) in the initial principal amount of $357,500 and received proceeds of $300,000 in a first tranche of financing under the Convertible Note (representing an initial 29.50 % original issue discount). The Convertible Note provides for a second tranche of funding to the Company of $200,000 (thereby increasing the principal amount of such Convertible Note to $557,500) upon the filing of this Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per cent per annum and matures on August 31, 2012. . The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $.01 per share. Commencing on November 30, 2011the Company is required to repay the note in ten (10) monthly installments of $57,500 per month plus accrued interest. The Company may pay the monthly installments either in cash or in shares of Common Stock. If the Company chooses to pay in shares of common stock, it must make an irrevocable payment of shares 23 trading days prior to the installment payment date, and the value of the shares given shall equal 80% of the average of the three-lowest closing sales prices of our common stock during the 20 day trading period prior to payment of the installment amount. On the installment payment date an adjustment either upward or downward in shares of common stock shall be made. To the extent the Company owes additional shares on the installment payment date such shares shall be issued to the holder and to the extent the Company has issued the holder excess shares such shares shall be applied to the next installment payment. In order for the Company to be eligible to pay any installment in shares, the Company must have either an effective Registration Statement with respect to such shares effective or such shares must be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 by the holder of the Convertible Note. If an event of default occurs under the Convertible Note, the Company is required to redeem the convertible note in cash at 135% of the unconverted principal amount of the note plus accrued interest. The conversion price of the Convertible Note is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The holder may not convert the Convertible Note if as a result of such conversion the holder or any of its affiliates would own more than 4.9% of the Company’s common stock.
Warrant
On August 10, 2011 the Company sold as part of a $25,000 private placement of a convertible note, a Warrant to purchase 3,676,471 shares of common stock to Jay Wright. The Warrant is exercisable at a fixed price of $.0068 per share (subject to an adjustment downward for dilution by any warrants issued at a lower price by the Company) and may be exercised at any time during a 5 year period following the date of issuance.
Equity Line
This Prospectus also includes to the offer and resale of up to 276,000,000 shares of our common stock by Dutchess Opportunity Fund II LP or “ Dutchess” Dutchess has agreed to purchase up to 250,000,000 described in this offering of our common stock pursuant to an investment agreement between Dutchess and the Company dated as of November 30, 2011 (the “Investment Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Company has the right to PUT up to $10,000,000 of our common stock to Dutchess. This arrangement is sometimes referred to as an Equity Line. For more information on the selling stockholder, please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Selling Shareholders” We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these shares of common stock offered by Dutchess. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of shares to Dutchess pursuant to the Equity Line. When the Company puts an amount of shares to Dutchess, the per share purchase price that Dutchess will pay to us in respect of such put will be determined in accordance with a formula set forth in the Investment Agreement. Generally, in respect of each put, Dutchess will pay us a per share purchase price of ninety-four per cent (94%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period beginning on the trading day of the day of the put notice.
Dutchess may sell the shares of common stock from time to time at the prevailing market price on the Over-the Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board. Dutchess is deemed an “underwriter: within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in connection with the resale of our common stock under the Equity Line.
The Company currently has reduced its cash needs to approximately $125,000 per month. The Company is only permitted under the Equity Line to “Put” 20,000,000 shares during any period. At a current price of $.0031 per share the Company could raise $62,000 for a current Put. The Company believes that it will be able to exercise, based upon current market conditions, at least one Put per month to Dutchess and intends to supplement its other cash needs currently through its traditional sources of financing including private placements of its common stock and the issuance of additional convertible securities. The $10,000,000 equity line commitment is binding for three years from the effective date of this Registration Statement. Given the current price and volatility of the Company’s common stock, it is not possible to predict how much of the equity line will, in fact, be needed and accessed by the Company over the next three year period to supplement the Company’s other methods of raising capital.
Based upon our stock price of December 21, 2011 of $.0034 per share and the 6% discount Dutchess would have a conversion price of approximately $.0032 per share that would require the issuance of 3,125,000,000 additional shares of common stock by the Company. As of December 21, 2011 the Company has a total of 2,888,663,918 shares of common stock, 110,060,000 options and 19,323,974 warrants outstanding. In addition 525,412,408 and 228,255,988 shares are reserved for Convertible Securities currently outstanding, based upon the Company’s stock price of $.0034 on that date as well as for the convertible feature of Officers’ loans. This results in a fully diluted amount of 3,771,716,487 shares. Since the Company has 2,228,283,513 unissued shares out of 6 billion authorized shares, the Company, as of December 21, 2011, has only enough shares to draw approximately 71.2% or $7,121,594 of the Equity Line.
The likely hood of receiving the full $10,000,000 is based upon the Company’s stock price being at .004773 per share or greater during significant periods of time during the next three year period based upon the current capital structure of the Company. The Company has, in the past several years, had significant trading volume as compared to other stocks of comparable price. In addition the PUT option is within the control of the Company so that it can chose the most advantageous price and volume history for any given PUT option exercise to mitigate the risk of not being able to draw the full $10,000,000.
The full discounted price when adding the commitment fee number of 26,000,000 shares to 3,205,128,105 shares (representing the 6% discount) is 3,231,128,205 shares which equates to approximately $0031 per share.
Estimated use of proceeds
This prospectus relates to shares of our Common Stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds resulting from the sale of Common Stock John. Fife as one of the Selling Stockholders. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrant by Jay Wright in the amount of $25,000 l. As noted above we will receive proceeds in connection with the sale of shares to Dutchess under the Equity Line. All proceeds received will be used by the Company as additional working capital.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Company’s Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this prospectus, including information in the section of this document entitled “Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to the Company’s Early Stage of Development
Our business is at an early stage of development and we may not develop products that can be commercialized.
We have derived very limited revenues from a Phase I Army Grant of approximately $100,000 and a Phase II Army Grant of approximately $750,000 with respect to our Smart NanoBattery product from inception of development in February 2004 through March 30, 2011. We have derived revenues of only $ 38,819 from our Emergency Flashlight product from inception of sales in April of 2010 through September 30, 2011 and we have been forced to discontinue product development and marketing of our magnetometer product owing to limited financial resources.
We have limited manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sales capabilities which may limit our ability to generate revenues.
Due to the relatively early stage of our products, we have not yet invested significantly in manufacturing, marketing, distribution or product sales resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to invest or develop any of these resources successfully or as expediently as necessary. The inability to do so may inhibit or harm our ability to generate revenues or operate profitably.
We have a history of operating losses and we may not achieve future revenues or operating profits.
We have generated modest revenue to date from our operations. Historically we have had net operating losses each year since our inception. As of September 30, 2011, we have an accumulated deficit of $(200,823,117) and a stockholders’ deficit of $(5,049,816) and incurred a net loss of $6,179,122. We incurred net losses of $486,391 and $7,365,745 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company does not generate significant revenue outside of STTR grants and minor sales of its emergency illuminator product. Additionally, even if we are able to commercialize our technologies or any products or services related to our technologies it is not certain that they will result in revenue or profitability.
We have a limited operating history on which investors may evaluate our operations and prospects for profitable operations.
If we continue to suffer losses as we have in the past, investors may not receive any return on their investment and may lose their entire investment. Our prospects must be considered speculative in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly in light of the uncertainties relating to the new, competitive and rapidly evolving markets in which we anticipate we will operate. To attempt to address these risks, we must, among other things, further develop our technologies, products and services, successfully implement our research, development, marketing and commercialization strategies, respond to competitive developments and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. A substantial risk is involved in investing in us because, as an early stage company we have fewer resources than an established company, our management may be more likely to make mistakes at such an early stage, and we may be more vulnerable operationally and financially to any mistakes that may be made, as well as to external factors beyond our control.
Risks Relating to Technology
We are dependent on new and unproven technologies.
Our risks as an early stage company are compounded by our heavy dependence on emerging and sometimes unproven technologies. If these technologies do not produce satisfactory results, our business may be harmed.
We may not be able to commercially develop our technologies and proposed product lines, which, in turn, would significantly harm our ability to earn revenues and result in a loss of investment.
Our ability to commercially develop our technologies will be dictated in large part by forces outside our control which cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, the success of our research and field testing, the availability of collaborative partners to finance our work in pursuing applications of “smart surfaces” using materials science engineering, nanotechnology science and the principles of microfluidics and MEMS and technological or other developments in the field which, due to efficiencies or technological breakthroughs may render one or more areas of commercialization more attractive, obsolete or competitively unattractive. It is possible that one or more areas of commercialization will not be pursued at all if a collaborative partner or entity willing to fund research and development cannot be located. Our decisions regarding the ultimate products and/or services we pursue could have a significant adverse affect on our ability to earn revenue if we misinterpret trends, underestimate development costs and/or pursue wrong products or services. Any of these factors either alone or in concert could materially harm our ability to earn revenues or could result in a loss of any investment in us.
8
If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.
We are engaged in activities in the nanotechnology and microfluidics field, which is characterized by extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments, our ability to operate profitably could suffer. We cannot assure you that research and discoveries by other companies will not render our technologies or potential products or services uneconomical or result in products superior to those we develop or that any technologies, products or services we develop will be preferred to any existing or newly-developed technologies, products or services.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property
Certain aspects of our technology are not protectable by patent.
Certain parts of our know-how and technology are not patentable. To protect our proprietary position in such know-how and technology, we require all employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators with access to our technology to enter into confidentiality and invention ownership agreements with us. We cannot assure you; however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, in the absence of patent protection, competitors who independently develop substantially equivalent technology may harm our business.
Patent litigation presents an ongoing threat to our business with respect to both outcomes and costs.
It is possible that litigation over patent matters with one or more competitors could arise. We could incur substantial litigation or interference costs in defending ourselves against suits brought against us or in suits in which we may assert our patents against others. If the outcome of any such litigation is unfavorable, our business could be materially adversely affected. To determine the priority of inventions, we may also have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which could result in substantial cost to us. Without additional capital, we may not have the resources to adequately defend or pursue this litigation.
We may not be able to protect our proprietary technology, which could harm our ability to operate profitably.
Patent and trade secret protection is critical for the new technologies we utilize, nanotechnology and microfluidics, as well as the products and processes derived through them. Our success will depend, to a substantial degree, on our ability to obtain and enforce patent protection for our products, preserve any trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We cannot assure you that:
| - |
we will succeed in obtaining any patents in a timely manner or at all, or that the breadth or degree of protection of any such patents will protect our interests, | |
| - |
the use of our technology will not infringe on the proprietary rights of others, | |
| - |
patent applications relating to our potential products or technologies will result in the issuance of any patents or that, if issued, such patents will afford adequate protection to us or not be challenged, invalidated or infringed, and | |
| - |
patents will not issue to other parties, which may be infringed by our potential products or technologies. | |
| - |
we will continue to have the financial resources necessary to prosecute our existing patent applications, pay maintenance fees on patents and patent applications, or file patent applications on new inventions. |
9
The fields in which we operate have been characterized by significant efforts by competitors to establish dominant or blocking patent rights to gain a competitive advantage, and by considerable differences of opinion as to the value and legal legitimacy of competitors' purported patent rights and the technologies they actually utilize in their businesses.
Patents obtained by other persons may result in infringement claims against us that are costly to defend and which may limit our ability to use the disputed technologies and prevent us from pursuing research and development or commercialization of potential products.
If third party patents or patent applications contain claims infringed by either our technology or other technology required to make and use our potential products and such claims are ultimately determined to be valid, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost, if at all, or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we are unable to obtain such licenses at a reasonable cost, we may not be able to develop some products commercially. We may be required to defend ourselves in court against allegations of infringement of third party patents. Patent litigation is very expensive and could consume substantial resources and create significant uncertainties. Any adverse outcome in such a suit could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from third parties, or require us to cease using such technology.
We may not be able to adequately defend against piracy of intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions.
Considerable research in the areas of micro fluid dynamics is being performed in countries outside of the United States, and a number of potential competitors are located in these countries. The laws protecting intellectual property in some of those countries may not provide adequate protection to prevent our competitors from misappropriating our intellectual property. Several of these potential competitors may be further along in the process of product development and also operate large, company-funded research and development programs. As a result, our competitors may develop more competitive or affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization than we are able to achieve. Competitive products may render any products or product candidates that we develop obsolete.
Our products may not be accepted in the marketplace.
The degree of market acceptance of those products will depend on many factors, including:
| - |
Our ability to manufacture or obtain from third party manufacturers sufficient quantities of our product candidates with acceptable quality and at an acceptable cost to meet demand, and | |
|
| ||
| - |
Marketing and distribution support for our products. |
We cannot predict or guarantee that either military or commercial entities, in general, will accept or utilize any of our product candidates. Failure to achieve market acceptance would limit our ability to generate revenue and would have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, if any of our product candidates achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to maintain that market acceptance over time if competing products or technologies are introduced that are received more favorably or are more cost-effective.
Financial Risks
We may not be able to raise the required capital to conduct our operations and develop and commercialize our products. We require substantial additional capital resources in order to conduct our operations and develop and commercialize our products and run our facilities. We will need significant additional funds or collaborative partners, or both, to finance the research and development activities of our potential products. Accordingly, we are continuing to pursue additional sources of financing. Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including:
| - | The continued progress and cost of our research and development programs, | |
| - | The costs in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims, | |
| - | The costs of developing sales, marketing and distribution channels and our ability to sell the products if developed, | |
| - | The costs involved in establishing manufacturing capabilities for commercial quantities of our proposed products, | |
| - | Competing technological and market developments, | |
| - | Market acceptance of our proposed products, | |
| - | The costs for recruiting and retaining employees and consultants. |
10
Additional financing through strategic collaborations, public or private equity financings or other financing sources may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financing could result in significant dilution to our shareholders. Further, if additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners, these arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize on our own. If sufficient capital is not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our programs or potential products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or business prospects.
Risks Relating to Our Debt Financings
If we are required for any reason to repay our outstanding convertible debt we would be required to deplete our working capital, if available, or raise additional funds. Our failure to repay the convertible debentures, if required, could result in legal action against us, which could require the sale of substantial assets.
We had outstanding, as of September 30, 2011, $ 1,733,637 aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of convertible debt.
There are a large number of shares underlying our convertible debt in full. The sale of these shares may depress the market price of our Common Stock.
As of September 30, 2011, on an aggregated basis our convertible debt financings may result in conversions into 438,813,632 shares of our Common Stock, and warrants and options that may be converted into approximately 129,418,974 shares of our Common Stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our Common Stock and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our Common Stock at times and prices that you feel are appropriate.
The issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible debt will cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.
The issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible debt will result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling security holders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. Although no single selling security holder may convert its convertible debentures and/or exercise its warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause it to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding Common Stock, this restriction does not prevent each selling security holder from converting some of its holdings and then converting the rest of its holdings. In this way, each selling security holder could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued, which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our Common Stock.
The Company could face certain regulatory challenges with respect to its reliance on Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to certain of its convertible debenture financings entered into with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) that could result in a significant negative economic impact on the Company.
The Company believes that any sales of Common Stock by JMJ are in full compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has obtained an opinion of outside counsel regarding such compliance. Nevertheless, it is possible such compliance could be challenged in the future by either regulatory agencies or shareholders. In particular, questions regarding the economic risk of JMJ with respect to the collateral required under the secured note delivered by JMJ in payment of the purchase price for the Company's convertible notes could be raised since the secured notes each contain a prepayment provision allowing JMJ to prepay such note, in full, by returning the convertible note. If a court of law determines that any offer or sale of Common Stock of the Company received in a conversion by JMJ was not in compliance with Rule 144 then JMJ could be deemed to be an underwriter. The result would be that the Company would have been engaged in a primary offering of Common Stock through an underwriter in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Securities Act of 1933, as amended, requires that any claim for rescission be brought within one year of the violation. The time periods within which claims for rescission must be brought under state securities laws vary and may be two years or more from the date of the violation. At September 30, 2011, approximately 395 million shares of our outstanding Common Stock issued in respect of our convertible note transactions with JMJ could be subject to rescission with a potential liability approximating $4.18 million, including a liability of approximately $550,000_ for interest at 10% per annum.
11
Risks Related to Third Party Reliance
We depend on third parties to assist us in the development of new products extensively, and any failure of those parties to fulfill their obligations could result in costs and delays and prevent us from successfully commercializing our product candidates on a timely basis, if at all.
We engage consultants and contract research organizations to help design, and to develop our products. The consultants and contract research organizations we engage provide us critical skills and resources that we do not have within our own company. As a result, we depend on these consultants and contract research organizations to perform the necessary research and development to create new products. We may face delays in developing and bringing new products to market if these parties do not perform their obligations in a timely or competent fashion or if we are forced to change service providers.
We depend on our collaborators to help us develop and test our proposed products, and our ability to develop and commercialize products may be impaired or delayed if collaborations are unsuccessful.
Our strategy for the development, testing and commercialization of our proposed products requires that we enter into collaborations with corporate partners, licensors, licensees and others. We are dependent upon the subsequent success of these other parties in performing their respective responsibilities and the continued cooperation of our partners. Under agreements with collaborators, we may rely significantly on such collaborators to, among other things:
| - | Fund research and development activities with us; | |
| - | Pay us fees upon the achievement of milestones under STIR and SBIR programs; and | |
| - | Market with us any commercial products that result from our collaborations. |
Our collaborators may not cooperate with us or perform their obligations under our agreements with them. We cannot control the amount and timing of our collaborators’ resources that will be devoted to our research and development activities related to our collaborative agreements with them. Our collaborators may choose to pursue existing or alternative technologies in preference to those being developed in collaboration with us.
The development and commercialization of potential products will be delayed if collaborators fail to conduct these activities in a timely manner, or at all.
If various outside vendors and collaborators do not achieve milestones set forth in our agreements, or if our collaborators breach or terminate their collaborative agreements with us, our business may be materially harmed.
Our reliance on the activities of our non-employee consultants, research institutions, and scientific contractors, whose activities are not wholly within our control, may lead to delays in development of our proposed products.
We rely extensively upon and have relationships with outside consultants and companies having specialized skills to conduct research. These consultants are not our employees and may have commitments to, or consulting or advisory contracts with, other entities that may limit their availability to us. We have limited control over the activities of these consultants and, except as otherwise required by our collaboration and consulting agreements to the extent they exist, can expect only limited amounts of their time to be dedicated to our activities. These research facilities may have commitments to other commercial and non-commercial entities. We have limited control over the operations of these collaborators and can expect only limited amounts of time to be dedicated to our research and product development goals.
Product Development Risks
We have limited resources to manage development activities.
Our limited resources in conducting and managing development activities might prevent us from successfully designing or implementing new products. If we do not succeed in conducting and managing our development activities, we might not be able to commercialize our product candidates, or might be significantly delayed in doing so, which will materially harm our business.
Our ability to generate revenues from any of our product candidates will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to successfully complete and implement our commercialization strategy. In addition, even if we are successful in bringing one or more product candidates to market, we will be subject to the risk that the marketplace will not accept those products. We may, and anticipate that we will need to, transition from a company with a research and development focus to a company capable of supporting commercial activities and we may not succeed in such a transition.
12
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our product development and commercialization efforts, we are unable to predict the extent of our future losses or when or if we will become profitable.
Our failure to successfully commercialize our product candidates or to become and remain profitable could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings and continue our operations.
Risks Related to Competition
The market for energy storage products is highly competitive.
We expect that our most significant competitors will be large more established companies. These companies are developing products that compete with ours and they have significantly greater capital resources in research and development, manufacturing, testing, obtaining regulatory approvals, and marketing capabilities. Many of these potential competitors are further along in the process of product development and also operate large, company-funded research and development programs. As a result, our competitors may develop more competitive or affordable products, or achieve earlier patent recognition and filings.
Our industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. Our competitors include major multinational energy-storage device and battery companies as well as nanotechnology companies that specialize in micro fluid dynamics and smart surfaces.
Many of these companies are well-established and possess technical, research and development, financial and sales and marketing resources significantly greater than ours. In addition, certain smaller nanotechnology companies have formed strategic collaborations, partnerships and other types of joint ventures with larger, well established industry competitors that afford these companies' potential research and development and commercialization advantages. Academic institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations are also conducting and financing research activities which may produce products directly competitive to those we are developing. Moreover, many of these competitors may be able to obtain patent protection, obtain regulatory approvals and begin commercial sales of their products before we do.
In the general area of energy storage and micro fluid dynamics, we compete with a variety of companies, including Duracell, Eveready and Ultralife.
Each of these companies is well-established and has substantial technical and financial resources compared to us. Many smaller companies may also be developing products in the rapidly changing area of energy storage and advanced micro fluid dynamics. These smaller companies may become significant competitors through rapid evolution of new technologies. Any of these companies could substantially strengthen their competitive position through strategic alliances or collaborative arrangements with larger companies.
Our competition includes both public and private organizations and collaborations among academic institutions and large companies, most of which have significantly greater experience and financial resources than we do.
Private and public academic and research institutions also compete with us in the research and development of nanotechnology products based on micro-fluid dynamics. In the past several years, the nanotechnology industry has selectively entered into collaborations with both public and private organizations to explore the development of new products evolving out of research in micro-fluid dynamics.
The energy storage device and battery business are each characterized by intense competition. We compete against numerous companies, both domestic and foreign, many of which have substantially greater experience and financial and other resources than we have.
Companies such as Duracell, Eveready and Ultralife, as well as others, many of which have substantially greater resources and experience in our fields than we do, are well situated to effectively compete with us. Any of the world's largest battery companies represents a significant actual or potential competitor with vastly greater resources than ours. These and other competitive enterprises have devoted, and will continue to devote, substantial resources to the development of technologies and products in competition with us.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR TARGETED MARKETS
The sale of new high technology products often has a long lead-time and a multiplicity of risks.
Commercialization of new technology products often has very long lead time since it is not possible to predict when major companies will license such technology for sale to their customers. The science of nanotechnology and microfluidics used to develop our Smart NanoBattery is in its very early stages and acceptance and demand for such products can often be a long evolutionary process.
The science of nanotechnology is at a very early stage as a discipline and is subject to great uncertainty and swift changes in technology.
Microfluid dynamics and the manipulation of materials of nano size and dimensions is a very new science and the creation of new products is dependent upon new and different properties of such materials created that will result in many uncertain applications and rapid change. The evolution of nanotechnology as a new science adds greater uncertainty to new applications and new and improvedproduct introductions is unpredictable.
We may not be able to create new products from our intellectual property using microfluidics that will be acceptable in water purification, oil separation from water and other environment markets.
The market for "green" products and solutions is characterized by changing regulatory standards, new and improved product introductions, and changing customer demands.
Large companies such as General Electric with great resources are currently focusing significant monies for new solutions.
Our future success will depend upon our ability to achieve compelling technology innovations that are economic and practical to produce in large quantities. Success in 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.
The commercialization of many applications of our technologies will depend on our ability to establish strategic relationships with commercial partners.
We are seeking commercial partners with established lines of business and greater financial resources than our own. Such partners may not place the priority that we do on joint projects because the success or failure of such projects is not as material to other existing well developed lines of business.
Our Smart Battery and our potential applications of our technology are components of end products and therefore our products are tied to the success of such end products.
The compelling need for critical mission batteries and other applications of our nanotechnology will depend upon both military and commercial needs going forward and the demand for our products as components. Thus the success of our Smart Battery and other applications of our technology will depend upon the continuing need for the end user products and market demand.
General Risks Relating to Our Business
Our products are likely to be expensive to manufacture, and they may not be profitable if we are unable to control the costs to manufacture them.
Our products are likely to be significantly more expensive to manufacture than most other more developed currently on the market today. Our present manufacturing processes produce modest quantities of product intended for use in our ongoing research activities, and we have not developed processes, procedures and capability to produce commercial volumes of product. We hope to substantially reduce manufacturing costs through process improvements, development of new science, increases in manufacturing scale and outsourcing to experienced manufacturers. If we are not able to make these or other improvements, and depending on the pricing of the product, our profit margins may be significantly less than that of our competitors. In addition, we may not be able to charge a high enough price for any products we develop to make a profit. If we are unable to realize significant profits from our potential product candidates, our business would be materially harmed.
14
Our current very limited revenue depends on our ability to continue to obtain SBIR, STTR and other Government Grants for Research and Development.
We have completed a Phase II STTR Army Research grant in the amount of $750,000. Although we are actively applying for new SBIR, STTR and other government grants and funding we are unable to predict whether we will be successful in obtaining such grants.
We depend on key personnel for our continued operations and future success, and a loss of certain key personnel could significantly hinder our ability to move forward with our business plan.
Because of the specialized nature of our business, we are highly dependent on our ability to identify, hire, train and retain highly qualified scientific and technical personnel for the research and development activities we conduct or sponsor. The loss of one or more certain key executive officers, or scientists, would be significantly detrimental to us. In addition, recruiting and retaining qualified scientific personnel to perform research and development work is critical to our success. Our anticipated growth and expansion into areas and activities requiring additional expertise, such as new applications for “smart surfaces”, manufacturing and marketing, will require the addition of new management personnel and the development of additional expertise by existing management personnel. Despite the current economic conditions and job market there is significant competition for qualified personnel in the areas of our present and planned activities, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business. The failure to attract and retain such personnel or to develop such expertise would adversely affect our business.
Our insurance policies may be inadequate and potentially expose us to unrecoverable risks.
We do not carry director and officer insurance and have limited commercial insurance policies. Any significant insurance claims would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Insurance availability, coverage terms and pricing continue to vary with market conditions. We endeavor to obtain appropriate insurance coverage for insurable risks that we identify, however, we may fail to correctly anticipate or quantify insurable risks, we may not be able to obtain appropriate insurance coverage, and insurers may not respond as we intend to cover insurable events that may occur. We have observed rapidly changing conditions in the insurance markets relating to nearly all areas of traditional corporate insurance. Such conditions have resulted in higher premium costs, higher policy deductibles, and lower coverage limits. For some risks, we may not have or maintain insurance coverage because of cost or availability.
We have no product liability insurance, which may leave us vulnerable to future claims we will be unable to satisfy.
The testing, manufacturing, marketing and sale of consumer products entail an inherent risk of product liability claims, and we cannot assure you that substantial product liability claims will not be asserted against us. We have no product liability insurance. In the event we are forced to expend significant funds on defending product liability actions, and in the event those funds come from operating capital, we will be required to reduce our business activities, which could lead to significant losses.
We cannot assure you that adequate insurance coverage will be available in the future on acceptable terms, if at all, or that, if available, we will be able to maintain any such insurance at sufficient levels of coverage or that any such insurance will provide adequate protection against potential liabilities. Whether or not a product liability insurance policy is obtained or maintained in the future, any product liability claim could harm our business or financial condition.
We presently have members of management and other key employees located in various locations throughout the country which adds complexities to the operation of the business.
Presently, we have members of management and other key employees located in both Connecticut and New Jersey, which adds complexities to the operation of our business.
We face risks related to compliance with corporate governance laws and financial reporting standards.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related new rules and regulations implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, require changes in the corporate governance practices and financial reporting standards for public companies. These new laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to internal control over financial reporting, referred to as Section 404, have materially increased our legal and financial compliance costs and made some activities more time-consuming and more burdensome.
15
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
Stock prices for development-stage technology companies have historically tended to be very volatile.
Stock prices and trading volumes for many small development-stage technology companies fluctuate widely for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the following factors, some of which may be unrelated to their businesses or results of operations:
| - |
The amount of cash resources and ability to obtain additional funding, | |
| - |
Announcements of research activities, business developments, technological innovations or new products by companies or their competitors, | |
| - |
Entering into or terminating strategic relationships, | |
| - |
Disputes concerning patents or proprietary rights, | |
| - |
Changes in revenues or expense levels, | |
| - |
Reports by securities analysts, | |
| - |
Activities of various interest groups or organizations, | |
| - |
Media coverage, and | |
| - |
Status of the investment markets. |
This market volatility, as well as general domestic or international economic, market and political conditions, could materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and the return on your investment.
A significant number of shares of our Common Stock have become available for sale and their sale could depress the price of our Common Stock.
In addition to the shares underlying our convertible debt as described above, we may sell a substantial number of additional shares of our Common Stock in connection with a private placement or public offering of shares of our Common Stock (or other series or class of capital stock to be designated in the future). The terms of any such private placement would likely require us to register the resale of any shares of capital stock issued or issuable in the transaction. We have also issued Common Stock to certain parties, such as vendors and service providers, as payment for products and services. Under these arrangements, we may agree to register the shares for resale soon after their issuance. We may also continue to pay for certain goods and services with equity, which would dilute your interest in the company.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock under any of the circumstances described above could adversely affect the market price for our Common Stock and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our Common Stock at times and prices that you feel are appropriate.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
Any payment of cash dividends will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we may incur additional indebtedness that may severely restrict or prohibit the payment of dividends.
Our Common Stock is subject to "penny stock" regulations and restrictions on initial and secondary broker-dealer sales.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. Penny stocks are subject to certain additional oversight and regulatory requirements. Brokers and dealers affecting transactions in our Common Stock in many circumstances must obtain the written consent of a customer prior to purchasing our Common Stock, must obtain information from the customer and must provide disclosures to the customer. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect your ability to sell your shares of our Common Stock in the secondary market.
16
As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.
Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, the Company will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by the Company contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of the Company’s failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
Risks Related to This Offering
There are substantial risks associated with the Investment Agreement, which could contribute to the decline of the price of our common stock and have a dilutive impact on our existing stockholders.
In order to have access to capital when needed, we entered into the Investment Agreement with Dutchess. The terms of the Investment Agreement are described under the section captioned “Selling Stockholder.” The sale of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our existing stockholders. Dutchess is not restricted in its ability to resell the shares we issue to them, and any such resale could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Following any decline in the market price of our common stock, any subsequent advances would require us to issue a greater number of shares of common stock in exchange for each dollar advanced. Although Dutchess is limited to owning 4.99% of our common stock at any point in time it can sell a portion of its holding during any point in time and receive additional shares. Under these circumstances our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution. The sale of our common stock under the Investment Agreement could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the further decline of our stock price.
Dutchess intends to engage in certain hedging transactions that may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
In connection with the distribution of our common stock or otherwise, including upon receipt of any put notice from us, Dutchess intends to enter into certain hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, pursuant to which such broker-dealers or other financial institutions will engage in sales of our shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Dutchess. If there is an imbalance on the sell side of the market in our common stock, the price of our common stock will decline. Dutchess has no intention of, and is contractually prohibited from, entering into any short sales during the term of the Investment Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Dutchess will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock.
The common stock to be issued to Dutchess pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be purchased at 94 % of the lowest daily trading price of our common stock during the ten consecutive trading days after the date we request the advance. Dutchess has a financial incentive to sell our common stock upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Dutchess sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease.
We may not be able to access sufficient funds pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement.
Our ability to put shares to Dutchess and obtain funds pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement is limited, including restrictions on when we may exercise our put rights, restrictions on the amount we may put to Dutchess at any one time, which is determined in part by the trading price of our common stock, and a limitation on Dutchess’ obligation to purchase if such purchase would result in Dutchess beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our common stock. Accordingly, we may not be able to access sufficient funds when needed.”
We would have to increase our authorized shares of common stock to 6,980,000,000 shares from the current 6 billion shares to have enough shares to exercise the full equity line
In order to exercise the entire equity line of $10 million, the Company would be required to issue 3,223,806,432 additional shares of its common stock to Dutchess as of December 21, 2011. This would equal approximately 111% of our common stock currently outstanding of approximately 2.8 billion shares.
Our stock price is currently too low to allow us full use of the equity line
Based upon the current capital structure of the Company there are 2,228,283,513 shares of common stock available for issuance as of December 21, 2011. This will enable the Company to access up to $7,121,594 of the $10 million equity line. In order for the Company to access the full $10 million of the equity line over the next three years the price of the Common Stock would need to equal $.004773 or greater for substantial periods of time during such period. In addition the liquidity or trading volume of the Company’s common stock would have to be sufficient to accommodate the sale in the open market of shares purchased by Dutchess.
There Are further conditions to the equity line that the Company may not be able to meet
In addition, in order for the Company to draw monies under the Equity Line it must satisfy the following conditions set forth in Section 2D of the Investment Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to deliver a Put Notice and the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares at a Closing unless each of the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) a Registration Statement shall have been declared effective and shall remain effective and available for the resale of all the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) at all times until the Closing with respect to the subject Put Notice;
(2) at all times during the period beginning on the related Put Notice Date and ending on and including the related Closing Date, the Common Stock shall have been listed on the Principal Market and shall not have been suspended from trading thereon for a period of two (2) consecutive Trading Days during the Open Period and the Company shall not have been notified of any pending or threatened proceeding or other action to suspend the trading of the Common Stock;
(3) the Company has complied with its obligations and is otherwise not in breach of or in default under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection herewith which has not been cured prior to delivery of the Put Notice;
(4) no injunction shall have been issued and remain in force, or action commenced by a governmental authority which has not been stayed or abandoned, prohibiting the purchase or the issuance of the Securities; and
(5) the issuance of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement will not violate any shareholder approval requirements of the Principal Market.”
If any of the events described in clauses (1) through (5) above occurs during a Pricing Period, then the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase the Common Stock subject to the applicable Put Notice.
The equity line, if accessed by the Company will cause significant dilution to existing shareholders as illustrated by the following table.

* Less than 1%.
(1) The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholders has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholders has the right to acquire within 60 days. As of November 30, 2011, the Company had 2,892,510,073 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
(2) Assumes the sale of all shares included in this prospectus.
(3) John Fife has the right to convert a maximum of $557,500 of principal plus a maximum of $14,865 of accrued interest at $.01 per share into 57,236,500 shares of common stock of the Company during the next 60 days under the terms of the Convertible Note. In the alternative the Company must make payments under the Convertible Note in either cash or its common stock as follows: 10 payments of principal of $55,700 per month plus accrued interest at 8% on the unpaid balance in 10 monthly payments from November 30, 2011 through and including August 30, 2012 .The price of the common stock of the Company closed at $.0046 per share on December 2, 2011. If the Company elects to make payments on a timely basis to amortize principal and interest in its common stock the holder will receive approximately a 20% discount from the current market value of the stock. Such a discount based upon a stock price of $.0046 per share would result in the holder receiving approximately 30,374,871 shares of common stock valued at $.0039 per share to cover principal and interest payments for the 60 day period following November 30, 2011. If the Company made timely payments solely in its common stock the 10 monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest from November 30, 2011 through August 30, 2012 the holder would receive a total of approximately 151,556,682shares of common stock assuming the market price continue throughout such period at $.0046 per share. Certain additional shares equal to 33,433,318 are being registered as required under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of September 13, 2011 to provide for additional shares, if required, if the market value of the Company’s common stock declines.
(4) The Company has failed to make the payment owed on November 30, 2011 of $57,500 plus accrued interest at 8% equal to $8,375 from September 13, 2011 in either cash or shares of its common stock. As of the date hereof the holder has not declared an event of default or elected to exercise any remedies under the Convertible Note. It is anticipated that upon effectiveness of this Registration Statement the Company will pay such amount in stock of the Company. Such amount would be payable at a 20% discount and at the market value of the stock of $.0046 on December 2, 2011 would result in the payment of approximately 16,891,025 shares of common stock payable to the holder valued at $.0039 per share.
(5) Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP will not beneficially own any shares of common stock other than shares issued to the Company to cover commitment fees and transaction costs unless and until the Company exercises a put under the Equity Line. Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP is managed by its Senior Partners, Dutchess Capital Management II, LLC which Douglas Leighton and Michael A. Movelli have deportive power.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
mPhase, a New Jersey corporation founded in 1996, is a publicly-held company with over 23,000 shareholders and 2,892,510,073 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 30, 2011. The Company's Common Stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL. We are headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut and also have corporate offices in Little Falls, NJ. mPhase shares office space with Microphase Corporation, a privately held company. Microphase is a leader in the field of radio frequency and filtering technologies within the defense and telecommunications industry. It has been in operation for over 50 years and supports mPhase with both engineering and administrative and financial resources as needed. mPhase is a development stage company specializing in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. mPhase is commercializing its first nanotechnology-enabled product for military and commercial applications - The Smart NanoBattery providing Power On Command™. The new patented and patent pending battery technology, based on the phenomenon of electrowetting, offers a unique way to store energy and manage power. Features of the Smart NanoBattery include potentially infinite shelf life, environmentally friendly design, fast ramp to power, programmable control, and direct integration with microelectronic devices.
The platform technology behind the Smart NanoBattery is a porous nanostructured material used to repel and precisely control the flow of liquids. The material has a Smart Surface that can potentially be designed for self-cleaning applications, water purification/desalination, liquid filtration/separation, and environmental cleanup. mPhase has completed a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) grant, part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, from the U.S. Army for continued development of a reserve Smart NanoBattery for a critical computer memory application.
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. In December of 2007 the Company ceased further activities with respect to its prior telecommunications equipment products which have been treated as a Discontinued Business effective June 30, 2010. Since January of 2008, the Company has focused primarily upon development of our smart reserve battery, and other battery and illuminator products as well as establishing a patent portfolio of intellectual property for “smart surfaces” in the field of nanotechnology.
Description of Operations
Microfluidics, MEMS, and Nanotechnology
In February of 2004, mPhase entered the business of developing new products based on materials whose properties and behavior are controlled at the micrometer and nanometer scales. (For reference, a micrometer or micron is equal one millionth (10 -6) of a meter and a nanometer is one billionth (10 -9) of a meter – the scale of atoms and molecules. A human hair is approximately 50 microns in diameter, or 50,000 nanometers thick.) The Company has expertise and capabilities in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and nanotechnology. Microfluidics refers to the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small, typically micrometer scale. MEMS is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology. Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter (atoms and molecules) on the nanometer length scale (1-100 nanometers), and exploitation of novel phenomena and properties (physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical) at that length scale. In its Smart NanoBattery, mPhase exploits the physical phenomenon of electrowetting by which a voltage is used to change the wetting properties of a liquid/solid interface at the nanometer scale. Consider water as the liquid. Through electrowetting, mPhase can change a surface from what is referred to as a hydrophobic ("water repelling") state to a hydrophilic ("water attracting") state. In the hydrophobic state, the water beads up or is repelled by the surface. In the hydrophilic state, the water spreads out or is absorbed by the surface. The ability to electronically control the wetting characteristics of a surface at the nanometer scale forms the basis of mPhase's nanotechnology operations and intellectual property portfolio.
21
In the Smart NanoBattery application, mPhase uses electrowetting as a new technique to activate or literally "turn on" a battery once it is ready to be used for the first time. At the heart of the Smart NanoBattery is a porous, nanostructured superhydrophic or superlyophobic membrane designed and fabricated by mPhase. The so-called superhydrophobic membrane applies to water and the superlyophobic membrane applies to nonaqueous or organic liquids such as ethanol or mineral oil. The difference between the two membrane types lies in the nanoscale architecture at the surface. By virtue of its superhydrophobic or superlyophobic character, the membrane, although porous, is able to physically separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes so that the battery remains dormant or inactive, thus providing no voltage or current until called upon. This electrolyte-electrode separation gives the battery the feature of potentially unlimited shelf life and the benefit of being always ready when needed, which is not necessarily the case for conventional batteries. Electrowetting alters the liquid/membrane interface so that the liquid is now able to flow over the membrane's surface and rapidly move through the pores where it is able to contact the solid electrode materials located on the other side of the membrane.
mPhase uses MEMS to precisely control the machining of silicon-based materials at the micrometer and nanometer scales. This ability has led to the Company's proprietary membrane design that controls the wetting and movement of liquids on a solid surface. mPhase uses microfluidics to control the flow of liquid electrolyte through the porous membrane and this is also the basis for other possible applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, filtration and separation and liquid delivery systems.
History of Nanotechnology Operations
Smart NanoBattery
mPhase Technologies along with Bell Labs jointly conducted research from February 2004 through April of 2007 that demonstrated control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic and superlyophobic surfaces to create a new type of battery or energy storage device with power management features obtained by controlling the wetting behavior of a liquid electrolyte on a solid surface. The scientific research conducted set the ground work for continued development of the Smart NanoBattery and formed a path to commercialization of the technology for a broad range of market opportunities. During 2005 and 2006, the battery team tested modifications and enhancements to the internal design of the battery to optimize its power and energy density characteristics, as well as making engineering improvements that were essential in moving the battery from a zinc-based chemistry to a commercial lithium-based chemistry that can be manufactured on a large scale. The Company began its efforts by entering into a $1.2 million 12 month Development Agreement with the Bell Labs division of Alcatel/Lucent for exploratory research of control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic surfaces to create power cells ( batteries) by controlling wetting behavior of an electrolyte on nanostructured electrode surfaces. The goal was to develop a major breakthrough in battery technology creating batteries with longer shelf lives as the result of no direct electrode contact (meaning no power drain prior to activation). The Company extended its development effort twice for an additional two years ending in March of 2007 and for two additional periods thereafter through July 31, 2007. During this time, the technical focus shifted from trying to separate the liquid electrolyte from nanostructured electrodes to developing a nanostructured membrane that could physically separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes. mPhase also began working with the Rutgers University Energy Storage Research Group (ESRG) in July of 2005 to conduct contract research in advanced battery chemistries involving lithium.
This work involved characterizing and testing materials that could be used in the mPhase battery. In July of 2007, the relationship shifted to a collaboration focused on developing a memory backup battery needed by the U.S. Army. The work was funded through a Phase I Small Business Transfer grant.
The Company decided in September of 2007 to transfer its development work out of Bell Labs (Alcatel/Lucent) in order to broaden its nanotechnology product commercialization efforts. Prior to such time mPhase was limited to development using zinc-based batteries since Bell Labs did not have facilities to handle lithium chemistry. mPhase continued to work with Rutgers ESRG that has facilities capable of handing lithium battery development and also engaged in work with other companies to supply essential components, fabricate prototypes, and plan manufacturing approaches. These companies included a well-respected silicon foundry and battery manufacturer.
In February of 2008, the Company announced that a prototype of its Smart NanoBattery was successfully deployed in a gun-fired test at the Aberdeen Proving Ground at Maryland. The test was conducted by the U.S. Army Armament Research and Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) of Picatinny, New Jersey. The battery not only survived the harsh conditions of deployment at a gravitational force in excess of 45,000 g, but was also flawlessly activated in the process.
22
In March of 2008, mPhase announced that it had been invited to submit a proposal for a Phase II STTR grant based upon the successful work it had performed on the Phase I grant to develop a version of the Smart NanoBattey referred to as the multi-cell, micro-array reserve battery for a critical U.S. Army memory backup application. The Phase II grant in the gross amount of $750,000 (net $500,000) was granted to the Company in the middle of September of 2008. In March of 2008, the Company also announced the successful transfer to a commercial foundry of certain processes critical to the manufacturing of its Smart NanoBattery. This enabled fabrication of the porous membranes for the multi-cell, micro-array reserve battery mentioned above. The Company successfully manufactured nanostructured membranes at the foundry that are essential to commercial production of the battery. By achieving a series of delayed activations, the shelf-life and continuous run-time of such battery is increased to a period of time in excess of twenty years. In April of 2008, the Company announced that it had successfully activated its first Smart NanoBattery prototype by electrowetting using a hard-wired configuration and a remotely-activated device. Remote activation plays a key role in providing power to wireless sensors systems and RFID tags.
Also, in April of 2008, the Company announced that it had successfully produced its first lithium-based reserve battery with a soft or pouch package and breakable separator (in place of the electrowettable membrane) that relies on mechanical rather than electrical activation to provide Power On Command™. The Company believes that it is a significant milestone in moving from a low energy density zinc-based battery to a higher energy density lithium-based battery towards proving that the Smart NanoBattery will eventually be economically and commercially viable.
In fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Company focused upon further development of its Smart Nano Battery under a Phase II STTR grant from the U.S. Army as a potential reserve battery for a back-up computer memory application for a weapons system. The Company completed this Phase II Army grant in the fall of 2010. On November 12 of 2010, the Company announced that it had successfully triggered and activated its first functional multi-cell smart nano battery. Triggering and activation of the cells of the battery were achieved by using the technique of electrowetting or programmable triggering. Triggering was accomplished by applying a pulse of electrical energy to a porous, smart surface membrane located inside each cell in the battery causing the electrolyte to come in contact with the cell’s electrodes, creating the chemical reaction to produce voltage inside of the multi-cell battery. The multi-cell battery consists of a matrix of 12 individual cells populated with an electrode stack consisting of lithium and carbon monofluoride materials with each rated at 3.0 volts. Using a custom designed circuit board for testing, each of the cells in the battery were independently triggered and activated without affecting any of the non-activated cells in the multi-cell configuration. Each cell in the battery has a very long shelf-life prior to triggering.
On February 9, 2011, the Company announced that it had signed a 3 year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny, New Jersey, to continue to cooperatively test and evaluate the mPhase Smart NanoBattery, including new design features functionally appropriate for DoD based systems requiring portable power sources. The army researchers are evaluating the prototypes using the Army’s testing facilities at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey in order to determine applicability of the technology to gun fired munitions and potentially to incorporate the technologies into research and development and other programs sponsored by Picatinny. The Research Agreement is supported by the Fuze & Precision Armaments Technology Directorate
Emergency Flashlight
On December 5, 2008, mPhase Technologies, Inc. signed a contract with Porsche Design Gesellschaft m.b.H. in Austria (“Porsche Design Studio”) to design a premium version of the AlwaysReady Emergency Flashlight. A pilot program that began in March of 2010 has resulted in the sale of approximately 56 emergency flashlights. The flashlight sold in the pilot program contained mPhase’s proprietary mechanically-activated lithium reserve battery. The battery contains a breakable barrier that separates the solid electrodes from the liquid electrolyte until the battery is manually activated. Unlike traditional batteries, the mPhase battery remains in an inert state with no leakage or self-discharge until activation. The mPhase battery is designed to have an almost infinite shelf life making it ideal for emergency lighting applications. The premium flashlight will be marketed as an accessory for automobile roadside emergency kits.
On January 29, 2009, the Company announced that it had contracted with EaglePicher Technologies to design and manufacture, in small quantities, its mechanically-activated battery that were used in the pilot program of sales of the Company’s new Emergency Flashlight. EaglePicher was selected for the project because of their experience in custom and standardized power solutions for the extreme environments of aerospace and military applications as well as medical and commercial applications.
The reserve battery is a manually activated lithium cell designed to provide Power On Command. The battery remains dormant until “turned on” by the user. It is built to the highest standards with a minimum storage life of 20 years. Once activated, the reserve battery is expected to deliver the electrical performance of a standard primary CR123 battery used in many portable electronic applications today.
23
EaglePicher Technologies, LLC, along with EaglePicher company, is a world leader in custom and standardized power solutions for the extreme environments of aerospace and military applications as well as medical and commercial applications. The company specializes in design and manufacture of battery cells, battery packaging, battery management systems (BMS), analysis, environmental testing, and energetic devices. Active in battery development and testing since 1922, EaglePicher Technologies has the most experience and broadest capability in battery electrochemistry of any battery supplier.
Owing to cost considerations the Company has decided to utilize a cost reduced active-reserve battery in its current version of its emergency flashlight product for potential sales after the pilot program. Such active reserve battery also has a very long shelf life and enables the Company to significantly reduce the selling price of the Emergency Flashlight. The Company has been seeking high-end products distributors with which to establish a licensing or distribution agreements in order to maximize potential revenue associated with the product. In March 2011,the Company received an initial order from Porsche Design Group in Germany for mPhase's Porsche design branded mPower Emergency Illuminators to be sold in Porsche Design stores in Germany, Great Britain and the United States and it began shipments of the Emergency Illuminators in April of 2011.
Magnetometer
In March of 2005, the Company entered into a second Development Agreement for 12 months at a cost of $1.2 million with the Bell Labs to develop MEMS-based ultrasensitive magnetic sensor devices, also known as magnetometers, that could be used in military and commercial electronics (e.g., cell phones) for determining location, as well as in portable security and metal detection applications. The agreement was renewed in April of 2006 for another 12 months. Although proven to work in the lab, the magnetometer technology could not be scaled up as quickly and as cost effectively as the Company’s nano battery. The project was suspended in September 2007 so that all technical resources could be allocated to the nano battery project.

OVERVIEW
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in this prospectus.
We are a nanotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing reserve batteries and other products with “smart surfaces” in the emerging fields of micro fluid dynamics and nanotechnology. We also develop commercial products with Porsche Design Studio as luxury consumer products and accessories that are targeted for affluent consumers and automobile enthusiasts.
Plan of Operations
While we continue to pursue research and development in connection with our work on smart surfaces, we are increasingly focused on the identification and development of product candidates utilizing our technology in both commercial and military arenas. We do not, however, expect to generate revenue sufficient to cover our expenses for the foreseeable future and expect to continue to fund our operations primarily from outside capital investment, convertible debt financings and private placements . The potential acquisition of EIP may result in the Company achieving an accelerated path to revenues and profitability since it is anticipated, subject to further due diligence, that the energy savings products of EIP will have a shorter time to commercialization and sales.
Strategy
The Company is seeking to identify strategic partners with significant financial resources through the current valuation of its patent portfolio. The Company believes that its patents as well as its development efforts in the scientific area of microfluidics and “smart surfaces” may provide compelling solutions as part of products and strategies of other companies in the area of energy storage and conservation. The Company intends to cost-reduce its emergency flashlight and sell it in volumes greater than that of the luxury goods product that was designed by Porsche Design Studio for the Company and which is currently being distributed through Porsche Design stores worldwide. In addition, the Company is developing a second automotive product with Porsche Design Studio soon to be announced to the public which is also an automotive energy-related product. Finally the Company intends to continue to pursue acquisitions of privately-held companies that have innovative products that are synergistic with the Company’s strategy of introducing new high-growth products to the market that will enhance and accelerate the Company’s growth of revenues.

Critical Accounting Policies
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Researchand 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."
OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND OTHER CONVERTIBLE EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". The currently promulgated standards require companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all employee stock-based payments at fair value over the service period underlying the arrangement. Therefore, the Company is now required to record the grant-date fair value of its stock-based payments (i.e., stock options and other equity-based compensation) in the statement of operations. The fair value of options granted in fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 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%, an average life of 5 years, annual volatility of 80.3% and a risk-free interest rate 3.0% .
MATERIAL EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
The Company has material equity instruments including convertible debentures and convertible notes that are accounted for as derivative liabilities (SEE BELOW) and options and warrants that are evaluated quarterly for potential reclassification as liabilities pursuant to FASB codification topic 815 previously known as EITF 00-19 (SEE ALSO NOTE 8 "Stockholders Equity" under the caption "Other Equity"). The Company utilized a sequencing method prescribed by EITF 00-19, based upon applying shares available to contracts with the earliest inception date first. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company reclassified contracts for warrants to purchase 12,604,168 shares at fixed prices ranging from $.13 to $.15 per share to liabilities.
The liability was recorded at the fair market value, which estimated value, as restated, was based upon the contractual life of the free standing warrants, using the Black-Sholes pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: annual expected return of 0%, an average life of 5 years, annual volatility 81% and a risk-free interest rate 2.25% . At the issuance date of the free standing warrants, which warrants were issued during the fourth quarter of fiscal June 30, 2008; the estimated value approximated $1,006,200 and as recalculated on the quarterly measurement dates, at June 30, 2008 the estimated value approximated $433,300. During fiscal year ended 2009, the estimated value was determined to no longer be material. The net change in the liability was credited to the change in derivative value in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 for $572,900 and $433,300, respectively, for each of these periods in accordance FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known EITF 00-19). Effective May, 2009, warrants to purchase 11,111,112 shares, and effective September, 2009, warrants to purchase 1,493,056 shares; representing all of the contracts for warrants to purchase 12,604,168 shares that were reclassified to liabilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, were reclassified to permanent equity. Subsequent to September 30, 2009 the Company has not entered into, and presently the Company does not have, any contracts for warrants or other equity instruments subject to reclassification to liabilities as prescribed by FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19).
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Presently promulgated accounting literature requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible debentures are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model we use for determining fair value of our derivatives is the Black-Scholes Pricing Model with a 20 day life for the look-back period of each conversion feature using volatility of 100%. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management's judgment and may impact net income.
REPARATION EXPENSE
As an incentive for additional equity contributions, the Company will, from time to time, adjust the cost of past private purchases of common stock through the issuance of additional shares in such magnitude as to reduce an investor's cost to an average price that more closely approximates current market value. The market value of additional shares issued without cash investment is charged to Reparation Expense, which is included in Other Expenses.

THREE MONTHS ENDED September 30, 2011 VS. September 30, 2010
REVENUE
Total revenues were $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $28,808 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses were $41,403 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $193,780 during the comparable period in 2010 or a decrease of $152,377. This decrease in spending is a result of completion of its smart nano battery prototype and its emergency flashlight using its mechanically-activated reserve battery as brought to market in its pilot program Subject to available funds, the Company expects to increase its research and development efforts throughout fiscal years 2011 and 2012. Such research is expected to focus on other applications for “smart surfaces” including the Smart Nano Battery. 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 both commercial and defense applications.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $6,888,462 for the three months ending September 30, 2011, up from $522,994 or an increase of $6,365,468 from the comparable period in 2010. Recurring administrative expenses were held in check as the Company has made a concentrated effort to freeze or otherwise reduce administrative costs while it seeks to commercialize its smartnanobattery product capabilities and secure more substantial research funding for possible applications of its “smart surfaces” technology. The increase was due primarily to the award of stock to the officers and directors on August 25, 2011, generating a non-cash charge of $6,520,500. Additionally, there was a non-cash charge of $14,154 for the amortization of deferred compensation from the re-pricing of options on the same date.
OTHER (EXPENSE) AND INCOME
Included in this category for the current quarter are non-cash gains and costs associated with convertible debt that include a non-cash gain for the change in derivative value of $853,496, which when combined with amortization of debt discount costs of $29,042, resulted in a net gain of $824,454 from derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s convertible debt and is not indicative of operating results. Additionally, net interest expense of $70,690 and other income of $1,131 in the current period brought total other income to $771,997. For the same period in the prior fiscal year net other income totaled $2,695,795, consisting primarily of net gains of $2,725,735 from derivative liabilities, reduced by interest expense of $29,940.
NET INCOME AND (LOSS)
The Company recorded a net loss of $6,179,222 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to net income of $1,994,489 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This represents a net loss per common share of $0.00 and net income per share (basic and diluted) of $0.00 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The net loss recorded in the current period as compared to the net income reported for the same period last year is directly attributable to the magnitude of the net gain from derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s convertible debt recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and is not indicative of operating results.
28
TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 VS. JUNE 30, 2010
Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2011 decreased from $ 354,157 in 2010 to $49,210 in 2011. The revenue for the current fiscal year was derived primarily from payments received by the Company under the Phase II STTR grant from the United States Army and from sales of the mPower emergency illuminator.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased $15,744 for the year ended June 30, 2011 to $50, 260. In addition, grants and fees received in connection with our Nanotechnology power cell have relatively low associated cost of sales.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $625,417 for the year ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $2,203,383 in the year ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $1,577,966. Such decrease is attributable to the Company’s completion of both a mechanically-activated reserve battery and emergency flashlight in addition to substantial completion of research on its Smart NanoBattery product.
We expect that research and development expenses will continue to increase in the foreseeable future as we add personnel and expand our research for new products. The amount of these increases is difficult to predict due to the uncertainty inherent in the timing and extent of progress in our research programs, and initiation of new products using “smart surfaces”. As our research efforts mature, we will continue to review the direction of our research based on an assessment of the value of possible commercial applications emerging from these efforts. Based on this continuing review, we expect to establish discrete research programs and evaluate the cost and potential for cash inflows from commercializing products, partnering with others or licensing the technologies associated with these programs to third parties.
We believe that it is not possible at this stage to provide a meaningful estimate of the total cost to complete our ongoing projects and bring any proposed products to market. Costs to complete could vary substantially depending upon the products selected for development. It is possible that the completion of these products could be delayed for a variety of reasons, including delays in developing prototypes and manufacturing. Any delay in completion of a product would increase the cost of that product, which would harm our results of operations. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot reasonably estimate the size, nature or timing of the costs to complete, or the amount or timing of the net cash inflows from our current activities. Until we obtain information that enables us to further determine the scope, breadth and number of products that are actually developed using “smart surfaces”, we will not be able to estimate our future expenses related to these products or when, if ever, and to what extent we will receive material cash inflows from resulting products.
General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,823,178 for the year ended June 30, 2011, down from $1,844,776 for the comparable period in 2010, a decrease of $21,598. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred non-cash charges amounting to $62,945 for stock based compensation awarded to officers, employees and consultants. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, such charges amounted to $34,313, an increase of $28,632 in fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. This increase was offset by the reduction of salaries of employees in fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 resulting in lower payroll by approximately $189,000 as compared to the payroll for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Expenses were reduced across the board, including a reduction in legal expense of $52,000 and marketing expense of $211,000.
Other Income and Expense. The current FYE 2011 reflects non-cash charges of $0 for reparations, and net settlement income of $8,915. During the prior FYE 2010, reparation expense amounted to $35,530 and net settlement income was $203,940. In addition during FYE 2011, the Company realized a non-cash net gain of approximately $1,866,669 compared to a non-cash net loss of $2,961,939 in FYE 2010 resulting from the issuance and the changes in the derivative liability values relative to convertible debt. The current FYE 2011 includes a gain resulting from the change in derivative value of $3,836,158 offset in part by amortization of debt discount, stock issuance costs and other charges including a $55,000 extension and forbearance fee and a $28,000 intervention fee amounting to $2,319,318. This compares to a gain resulting from the change in derivative value of $356,566 offset in part by amortization of debt discount, stock issuance cost and other charges amounting to $3,318,505 in FYE 2010. During FYE 2011, the Company recorded a $244,496 gain from the settlement of liabilities from discontinued operations.
Net loss. mPhase recorded a net loss of $486,391 for the year ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a loss of $7,365,765 for the same period ended June 30, 2010. During FYE 2011, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $730,887 and net income from discontinued operations of $244,496. This represents a loss per common share of ($.00 ) in 2011 as compared to $(.01) in 2010, based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 1,402,130,735 and 1,041,685,519 during the periods ending June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 respectively.

Through September 30, 2011, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $200,823,117 and had cash and cash equivalents of $87,297. At September 30, 2011, mPhase had working capital of ($2,779,599) as compared to working capital of ($29,987) as of September 30, 2010.
The Company has convertible debentures and notes outstanding that enable the Company to raise $100,000-$200,000 per month for a portion of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. However conversions into common stock have been very limited since April of 2011 primarily owing to the continuing decline in the share price of the Company’s common stock and negative liquidity conditions in the capital markets. Such conditions have resulted in a significant “overhang” of approximately monies funded to the Company together with accrued interest totaling $1,733,637 and not converted into common stock as of September 30, 2011. At the current stock price such convertible debentures and notes are convertible into 438,813,632 shares of the Company’s common stock. Until such amount is successfully converted into common stock and sold by the holders of such convertible instruments, the Company will have limited access to future financing through additional issuances of convertible securities.
30
In addition, on June 23, 2011, the common stock of the Company ceased to be eligible for fast –trading by investors by the Depository Trust Company that handles the clearance of all securities in the United States. As a result the liquidity of the Company’s common stock has contracted and financing the Company exclusively through such instruments may be limited in the future. The Company believes that it may have expanded opportunities for supplemental private placements of equity as a result of its prospective acquisition of EIP since such acquisition may well enhance and accelerate its opportunities for revenue from sales of an additional product line that will enable it to satisfy short-term liquidity. Owing to recent cost-reductions achieved by the Company in payroll and other administrative expenses the Company believes that its short-term liquidity requirements are between $100,000-$125,000 per month.
In the longer term, we estimate that the Company will need to raise approximately $5-10 million of additional capital above the funds anticipated from the monthly funding’s and conversions by holders of revised or replacement convertible securities, to meet longer term liquidity needs through June 30, 2012. Such monies will be necessary primarily to fund future operating expenditures as well as marketing, cost-reductions and commercialization of its Smart NanoBattery, Emergency Flashlight, and a second product being developed for the Company by Porsche Design Studio. Finally, depending upon sales and margins in fiscal year 2012, additional capital may be required to fund a portion of any growth necessary in operations.
31
Cash used in operating activities was $1,765,506 during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. During such period, the cash used by operating activities consisted principally of the net loss ($486,391) plus non-cash credits related to convertible debt issued and associated changes in derivative value ($2,116,064) reduced by an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $412,144. These amounts are offset in part by non-cash charges related to issuance of common stock and options for services of $126,945.
During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company raised capital through private placements with accredited investors, whereby the Company issued 67,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, generating net proceeds to the Company of $265,500.
During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company raised capital through private placements with accredited investors, whereby the Company issued 30,667,000 shares of the Company's common stock, generating net proceeds to the Company of $225,000.
We believe that it is not possible at this stage to provide a meaningful estimate of the total cost to complete our ongoing projects and bring any proposed products to market. The development of new products using the science of nanotechnology and the discipline of microfluidics is an emerging area and the time for development of future new products is unknown. Costs to complete could vary substantially depending upon the products selected for development. It is possible that the completion and commercialization of these new products could be delayed for a variety of reasons, including difficulties in developing prototypes, delays in manufacturing and the development of new sources of product distribution. Any delay in completion of a product would increase the cost of that product, which would harm our results of operations. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot reasonably estimate the size, nature nor timing of the costs to complete, or the amount or timing of the net cash inflows from our current activities. Until we have developed a larger number of products, we will not be able to estimate our future expenses related to these programs or when, if ever, and to what extent we will receive cash inflows from resulting products.
Contractual Obligations
At September 30, 2011, our significant contractual obligations were as follows:
| Less than one year | Greater than one year | Total | |

Penny Stock Rules
Our shares of Common Stock are subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act. In general terms, "penny stock" is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC, authorized for quotation from the NASDAQ stock market, issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the issuer's net tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer's net tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years or the issuer's average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed $6,000,000.
Trading in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional investors. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our Common Stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.
Dividends
We never paid cash dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. Our future dividend policy will be determined by our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our financial condition and performance, our cash needs and expansion plans, income tax consequences, and the restrictions that applicable laws, our current preferred stock instruments, and our future credit arrangements may then impose.
Currently under New Jersey law, unless further restricted in its certificate of incorporation, a corporation may declare and pay dividends out of surplus, or if no surplus exists, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year (provided that the amount of capital of the corporation is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets).

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk is limited primarily to interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly because a significant portion of our investments are in short term debt securities issued by the U.S. government and institutional money market funds. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal. Due to the nature of our marketable securities, we believe that we are not exposed to any material market risk. We do not have any derivative financial instruments or foreign currency instruments. If interest rates had varied by 10% in the three months ended March 31, 2011, it would not have had a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows for that period.
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS
Our directors are elected at the annual meeting of shareholders to hold office until the annual meeting of shareholders for the ensuing year or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Officers are elected annually by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board. No family relationships exist between any of the executive officers or directors.
On October 19, 2007, in connection with the settlement and dismissal of a civil law suit originally filed on November 16, 2005 by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Federal District Court in the District of Connecticut, the SEC issued a Cease and Desist Order and certain remedial sanctions against two officers of mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"). The civil suit was filed against Packport.com, Inc. a Nevada corporation, Microphase Corporation, a Connecticut corporation, a company that provides administrative services to the Company and shares common management with the Company, and others. The two officers of the Company were Mr. Ronald A. Durando, President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Gustave T. Dotoli, the Chief Operating Officer. The Civil suit by the SEC named as respondents Mr. Durando, Mr. Dotoli and others in connection with their activities as officers and directors of Packetport.com. The cease and desist order from the SEC found that (1) Mr. Durando had violated Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by making unregistered sales of common stock of Packetport.com.(2) Mr. Durando and Mr. Dotoli had violated Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 16(a) thereunder by failing to timely disclose the acquisition of their holdings on Form 3’s and (3) Mr. Durando had violated Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for failing to disclose the acquisition of more than five percent of the stock of Packetport.com.
37
Under the order Mr. Durando was required to disgorge $150,000 and Mr. Dotoli was required to disgorge $100,000. The Company was not named as a party to the civil suit. More information regarding the detailed terms of the settlement can be found in SEC release No 8858 dated October 18, 2007 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and SEC Release No. 56672 dated October 18,2007 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Mr. Durando and Mr. Dotoli have continued to serve as officers and directors of the Company. Mr Durando and Mr. Dotoli together with Microphase corporation and others, without admitting or denying the findings of the SEC, except as to jurisdiction and subject matter, have consented to the entry of the Order Instituting Cease and Desist Proceedings, Making findings and Imposing a Cease and Desist Order and Remedial Sanctions pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Effective June 30, 2004, the Company was $473,787 in arrears with respect to a promissory note issued to Piper Rudnick LLP plus other legal fees of $118,773.36. It should be noted that Piper & Rudnick, the Company’s outside counsel, received such promissory note in March of 2002 plus two warrants that expired in March 8, 2007 in exchange for cancellation of certain payables. Such warrants had conversion rights into our common stock for a total of 2,233,490 shares that had been registered under a Form S-1 Registration Statement, and were cashless. On September 3, 2003, in exchange for reducing the total payable to $550,000, the Company paid $10,000 in cash to Piper and issued an additional cashless warrant for $150,000 worth of the Company's common stock valued at $.25 per share.

Under the terms of the renegotiated Payment Agreement, the Company agreed to payments of $25,000 each on December 1, 2004, March 1, 2005, June 1, 2005 and September 1, 2005 and a payment of $50,000 on December 1, 2006 plus $25,000 payments on March 1, 2006, June 1, 2006, September 1, 2006 and a final payment of $75,000 payment on December 1, 2007. In addition, Piper & Rudnick LLP agreed to convert $150,000 of such payable into a 5 year cashless warrant to purchase the Company's common stock at $.25 per share. The Company has made all of the above payments except for $65,000 of the $75,000 due December 1, 2006, that is presently in arrears.

Director Independence
The Company complies with the standards of "independence" prescribed by rules set forth by the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD"). Accordingly, a director will only qualify as an "independent director" if, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, that person does not have a material relationship with our company which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. A director who is, or at any time during the past three years, was employed by the Company or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company, shall not be considered independent. Accordingly, Anthony Guerino and Victor Lawrence meet the definition of "independent director" under Rule 4200(A)(15) of the NASD Manual; Abraham Biderman, Ronald A. Durando, Gustave T. Dotoli and Martin Smiley do not.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our directors and officers are indemnified by our bylaws against amounts actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they are a party by reason of being or having been directors or officers of the Company. Our certificate of incorporation provides that none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable for damages for breach of any fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of any such director or officer. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to such directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by such director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Martin Smiley, Esq., EVP, CFO and General Counsel of the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To The Board of Directors and
Shareholders 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 its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the two years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of mPhase Technologies, Inc. for the period from inception to June 30, 2009. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts for the period from inception to June 30, 2009, included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of mPhase Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the two years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that mPhase Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company has experienced significant losses and negative operating cash flows resulting in a working capital deficiency and shareholders’ deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are more fully described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
mPhase, a New Jersey corporation founded in 1996, is a publicly-held company with over 23,000 shareholders and approximately 1.63 billion shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2011. The Company's common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL.
The Company is in the development stage and historically has focused much of its efforts in the commercial deployment of its TV+ products for delivery of broadcast IPTV, and DSL component products which include POTS splitters. Beginning in 2004, the Company added a new line of power cell batteries and electronic sensors (magnetometers) 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.
In recent years, the Company has shifted its primary business focus to the development of innovative power cells and related products through the science of microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nano- technology. Using these disciplines, it has developed a battery that has a significantly longer shelf life prior to activation than conventional batteries. In addition, such battery product, unlike conventional batteries, is capable of disposal after use without harm to the environment.
On April 17, 2007, the Company announced that it had formed AlwaysReady, Inc., a New Jersey Corporation, as a new wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company planned to transfer all of its nanotechnology assets and appropriate liabilities to such company so as to separate its nanotechnology product line from its IPTV product. Although management and staff of AlwaysReady Inc were hired the Company funded all operations of Always Ready, Inc. to date and no assets or liabilities have been transferred.
On June 20, 2007, the Company announced the formation of a new subsidiary, Granita Media, Inc. ("Granita"), a Delaware corporation, to promote and develop its IPTV product line including targeted advertising and middleware solution. Capitalization of Granita amounted to $514,000 of equity, provided by employees and independent investors. During FYE June 30, 2008, related assets and liabilities were transferred to Granita and its results consolidated into the these financial statements. Additional funding was to have been arranged from outside institutional financing and potentially involve the sale of up to 10% of the common stock of Granita with mPhase retaining 90% of the stock of Granita. Owing to very challenging conditions in the capital markets, Granita was unable to raise funds necessary to operate as a self sufficient enterprise and fund the additional software development necessary for a targeted advertising enhancement capability of its TV+ solution. In order to conserve financial resources, all employees of Granita were either terminated or had resigned by December 31, 2007. (See also footnote 6.) As of June 30, 2011, the Company has treated Granita as a discontinued business.
We are headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut with offices in Little Falls, NJ. mPhase shares common office space with Microphase Corporation, a privately held company in which the CEO of the company owns a minority interest. Microphase is a leader in the field of radio frequency and filtering technologies within the defense and telecommunications industry. It has been in operation for over 50 years and has supported mPhase with engineering, administrative and financial resources.

2. LOSSES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
Through June 30, 2011, the Company incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $194,643,955 and at June 30, 2011 had working capital of $(2,705,943). Funding in our traditional capital markets was difficult during FYE 2010 and 2011.
Through September 30, 2011, the Company had incurred cumulative (a) development stage losses totaling $(200,823,177), (b) stockholders' deficit of ($5,049,816), and (c) negative cash flow from operations equal to ($87,885,311).
The Company was able to enter into convertible debt arrangements with independent investors to provide liquidity and capital resources during the year. Such arrangements have provided the Company with cash in the amounts of $4,511,000 and $1,619,000 during FYE 2010 and 2011 respectively. These arrangements will likely need to be revised to continue to provide a portion of the working capital anticipated to be needed during the next fiscal year. In addition and from time to time during FYE 2010 and 2011, the Company raised necessary working capital via bridge loans from officers and private placements of equity. Such loans have subsequently received partial repayments (see notes payable to officers-discussed in Note 9).
The Company is currently focused on the continued development and commercialization of its "Always Ready" battery product using the science of nanotechnology. The Company believes that such battery has a much longer shelf life than conventional batteries and will have significant commercial and military applications. The Company is also actively working on the commercialization and marketing of its emergency flashlight, the mPower Emergency Illuminator. The Company has suspended development of its magnetometer sensor devices and discontinued all activities related to its IPTV business. It is unclear whether any intellectual property related to those operations will have significant value.
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) successfully develop, market and sell 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 2011 and continue its development and commercialization efforts.
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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of mPhase and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company 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.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" that requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all employee stock-based payments at fair value over the service period underlying the arrangement. Therefore, the Company is now required to record the grant-date fair value of its stock-based payments (i.e., stock options and other equity-based compensation) in the statement of operations. Effective, July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the promulgated authority "modified prospective" method, and has recorded as an expense the fair value of all stock based grants to employees after such date. The Company has not restated its operating results for any prior fiscal year end or quarter.
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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
As required, mPhase has adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "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 on its research grant contract upon delivery of milestones defined in the contract, at the fixed predetermined price under the contract in which payment is reasonably expected as enumerated in SAB104.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and Development cost are charged to operations when incurred. The amounts charged to expense for continuing operations for the years ended 2010, 2011 and inception to date were $2,203,383, $625,417 and $12,257,562; and the amounts charged to expense for continuing operations were $ 193,780, $41,403 and $12,298,965 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and inception to date to September 30, 2011, respectively.
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 $0, and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, the book value of such assets has been fully amortized.
INVENTORIES
The Company uses the First In First Out method (FIFO) to account for inventory which is carried at the lower of market value or cost. As of June 30, 2007, inventory consisted primarily of component parts being assembled on location in anticipation of deployment of specific IPTV systems. Appropriate reserves have been taken to assure that the cost of such inventory does not exceed the value of the underlying contract. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company determined that the value of inventory related to IPTV had been impaired and charged to earnings all associated amounts ($505,910).
As of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the inventory related to the Emergency Flashlight was valued at $98,807 and $102,532, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 inventory was valued at $101,302.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
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.
REPARATION EXPENSE
As an incentive for additional equity contributions, the Company will from time to time, adjust the cost of past private purchases of common stock through the issuance of additional shares in such magnitude as to reduce an investor’s cost to an average price that more closely approximates current market value. The market value of additional shares issued without cash investment is charged to Reparation Expense, which is included in Other Expenses. Reparations expenses have amounted to $35,530, $0 and $8,299,794 for the years ended 2010, 2011 and inception to date to June 30, 2011; and $0, $0 and $8,299,794 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and inception to date to September 30, 2011, respectively.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED
mPhase accounts for net loss per common share in accordance with the requirements FASB Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company had warrants and options and convertible debentures (if funded in full – see note 8) outstanding at June 30, 2011, convertible into, respectively, approximately 21,480,837 and 113,720,000 and 792,273,901 shares of the Company's common stock based upon the conversion terms at June 30, 2011. The Company has also granted a conversion feature to certain officers for notes outstanding, giving these note holders the right to convert principal and interest outstanding, subject to availability, into 116,763,169 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a $.0075 per share conversion price (see note 13). The inclusion of the warrants and potential common shares to be issued in connection with convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted loss per share and have been omitted in such computation. The Company had warrants to purchase 19,323,974 shares of its common stock and options to purchase 110,085,000 shares of its common stock outstanding at September 30, 2011, as well as convertible debentures and convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon held by officers of the Company convertible into approximately 407,966,329 and 231,211,415 shares of the Company's common stock based upon the conversion terms at September 30, 2011.
BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISK
To date, the Company's products have been sold to a limited number of customers, earlier primarily in the telecommunications and defense industry and recently including some sales of the Emergency Illuminator. In fiscal year ended 2010, revenue continued to be derived from US Army research contracts as well as from sales by the Company of the Company’s mPower Flashlight and battery products. In fiscal year ended 2011, revenue was derived from research contracts with the U.S. Army and sales of the Company’s mPower emergency illuminator. Throughout the year, cash balances that the Company maintains at financial institutions may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limitation of up to $250,000. Cash balances exceeded FDIC insured limits at times throughout the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 and the three months ended September 30, 2011.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2011 was derived from unaudited interim financial statements that do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The other information in the Consolidated Statements of Operations & Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 and for the period from inception (October 2, 1996) through September 30, 2011 and the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) From July 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011 is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These condensed financial statements, including notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and additional information as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
MATERIAL EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
The Company has material equity instruments including convertible debentures and convertible notes that are accounted for as derivative liabilities (SEE BELOW) and options and warrants that are evaluated quarterly for potential reclassification as liabilities pursuant to current accounting guidance.
DEBT DISCOUNTS
Costs incurred with parties who are providing the actual long-term financing, which generally may include the value of warrants, fair value of the derivative conversion feature, or the intrinsic value of conversion features associated with the underlying debt, are reflected as a debt discount. These costs and discounts are generally amortized over the life of the related debt.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible debentures are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model we use for determining fair value of our derivatives is the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management's judgment and may impact net income. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the Company utilized an expected life of 20 days based upon the look-back period of its convertible debentures and notes and a volatility of 100%.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. At June 30, 2011, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, long term debt, line of credit, convertible debt and due to related parties. Management believes the estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and debt instruments at June 30, 2011 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments. Fair value of due to related parties cannot be determined due to lack of similar instruments available to the Company.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”), which is intended to result in convergence between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards requirements for measurement of, and disclosures about, fair value. ASU 2011-04 clarifies or changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for our third quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, and we do not expect its adoption to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2011-05 Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which makes the presentation of items within other comprehensive income (“OCI”) more prominent. The new standard will require companies to present items of net income, items of OCI and total comprehensive income in one continuous statement or two separate consecutive statements, and companies will no longer be allowed to present items of OCI in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Reclassification adjustments between OCI and net income will be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. The new guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, and we do not expect its adoption to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

6. GRANITA MEDIA
Effective July 1, 2007, the Company formed Granita Media, Inc. to separate its IPTV business and facilitate the raising of capital. Pursuant to an arrangement with four employees of mPhase, such employees were terminated from mPhase as of July 1, 2007 and became employees of Granita Media Inc and invested solely in the common stock of Granita Media Inc. Under the arrangement, each of the four employees was required to invest $125,000 in exchange for an aggregate 2% equity interest in Granita Media, Inc, with mPhase continuing to own 98% of the Company. The four employees contributed a total of $339,000 of the total $500,000 equity investment required from them and raised from third party investors another $175,000 for a total of $514,000. Granita Media has 19,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding of which 18,000,000 was owned by mPhase Technology and 1,000,000 was being held for issuance to the four employees and the third party investors pending an agreement among such persons of the allocation of such shares. Under the terms of the arrangement between mPhase and the four employees, such employees were authorized to sell up to 7.99% of additional equity in the Company for a total of not less than $2,000,000 of additional capital by December 31, 2007. As noted above, the employees raised a total of $175,000 of outside capital only and pursuant to the arrangement, such employees either resigned or were terminated by mPhase together with several lower level employees of Granita. A dispute arose between Granita Media and one of the former employees with respect to a sum of approximately $176,000 included in short term loans. It is the Company's position that such sums were voluntarily advanced to fund operating expenses after July 1, 2007. Since the four employees/officers of Granita Media were required to cover operating expenses of Granita Media after July 1, 2007 through equity investments either directly or from third parties, the Company took the position that neither such amount nor any related interest and fees are owed to the employee. In addition, the Company had substantial rights of offset for unpaid rent with respect to the portion of its Little Falls office occupied by Granita Media after July 1, 2007. Granita Media, Inc. ceased operations in December of 2007. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company elected to treat Granita Media, Inc. as a discontinued operation.

Long Term Convertible Debentures / Note Receivable / Debt Discount and related Interest
The Company has entered into eleven separate convertible debt arrangements with activity through and as of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011 with independent investors, and seven arrangements with activity through and as of September 30, 2011, included in our balance sheets for those dates under the caption“OTHER OBLIGATIONS CONVERTIBLE TO EQUITY”.
General
The economic substance of convertible debt arrangements entered into beginning December 2007 was to provide the Company with needed liquidity to supplement the private equity markets.
The form of the transaction generally involves the following:
- The receipt of cash.
- The issuance of a note payable from mPhase.
- The issuance of a note receivable due to mPhase.
- A Securities Purchase Agreement.
- The note payable contains conversion features which permit the holder to convert debt into equity. Such debt is eligible to be converted into the Company's common stock immediately, thus requiring the recording of the entire liability upfront. Finally, to encourage conversion, a discount from market value is offered.
- The aggregate amount of notes payable exceeds the amount of cash received. As "Consideration" for this difference the Company takes back a secured note receivable. Security is generally liquid investments of the investor.
- The note receivable provides a commitment to fund mPhase. The notes are secured and collateralized and carry terms which are different from the related note payable and no right of offset exists.
A summary of our arrangements for notes payable and notes receivable under convertible debt and debenture agreements with activity through and as of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011 is as follows:

Arrangement #1(La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.)
On Sept 11, 2008, the Company received proceeds of $200,000 under a Securities Purchase Agreement from La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.

Conversion of outstanding debentures into common shares is at the option of the holder at a price equal to the dollar amount of the debenture divided by the lesser of $.35 per share or 80% of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during a 20 day trading period. At the time of the transaction (September 11, 2008), the derivative value of this security was calculated to be $1,176,471. On June 30, 2011, the derivative value of this security was calculated to be $3,468.
On March 16, 2011, the holder and the Company entered into a termination agreement whereby $1,800,000 of the principal, for both the note receivable and the convertible debenture, plus $90,291 in accrued interest receivable and $84,175 in accrued interest payable, was cancelled. Additionally in connection with the termination, the Company paid the holder $17,000 and assigned to a consultant engaged by the Company the unconverted portion of the convertible debenture in the amount of $10,000, which had been fully funded in cash and which was converted in full together with accrued interest of $500 for 2,560,976 shares of common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and as of September 30, 2011, this convertible note has been satisfied in full.
Arrangement #2 (JMJ Financial, Inc.)
On November 17, 2009, the Company received a total of $186,000 of proceeds in connection with a new financing agreement with JMJ Financial. This transaction consists of the following: 1) a convertible note payable in the amount of $1,200,000 plus a one-time interest factor of 12% ($144,000) and a maturity date of September 23, 2012, and (2) a secured promissory note receivable in the amount of $1,100,000 plus a one-time interest rate factor of 13.2% ($144,000 each) and a maturity date of September 23, 2012 due from JMJ Financial. Conversion of outstanding principal into shares of common stock is at the option of the holder. The number of shares into which this note can be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the note divided by 75% of the lowest trade price during the 20 day trading period prior to conversion.
At the commitment date, the derivative value of the embedded conversion feature of such security was $536,000 and the debt discount was valued at $636,000. As of June 30, 2011, this value was calculated to be $472,773. During the year ended June 30, 2011 the holder converted $33,750 of principal into 10,000,000 shares of common stock and amortization of debt discount amounted to $412,332, reducing the debt discount balance to $100,000. On September 30, 2011, given the changes in the Company’s stock price during the 20 day look-back period for September 30, 2011, this estimated liability had decreased to $235,517, a decrease this period of $237,206, creating a non-cash credit to earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of that amount.

As of September 30, 2011, this convertible note has $609,294 outstanding.
Based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2011 of $.0073 per share the holder could convert the remaining principal amount plus interest of this convertible note into approximately 222,142,857 shares of common stock at the full contract value; of which the derivative liability associated with this arrangement is calculated. Based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2011 of $.0047 per share the holder could convert the remaining principal amount plus interest of this convertible note into approximately 277,948,500 shares of common stock at the full contract value; of which the derivative liability associated with this arrangement is calculated.
The Company and the holder negotiated amendments to this agreement, and funding and conversions did not occur between April, 2011 and September, 2011, when the agreement was revised to have a floor conversion price of $.0040. For accounting purposes the note receivable has been fully reserved, and the liability is recorded, when netted against the debt discount and cumulative conversions, at the amount funded. Based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2011, the net liability of this note is convertible into approximately 115,380,952 shares of common stock. Based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2011, the net liability of this note is convertible into approximately 152,323,500 shares of common stock.

BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURE
In April 2009, the Board of Directors authorized the right for the officers to convert into shares of the Company's common stock officers' loans discussed in Note 9, plus accrued interest thereon, at any time for the next five years providing such shares are issued, outstanding and available, at a conversion price of $.0075. The officers' notes plus accrued interest are convertible into approximately 116,763,169 shares of the Company's common stock based upon the conversion terms at June 30, 2011 (see note 13).
Other Equity
During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company reevaluated warrants contracts to purchase 13,104,168 shares at fixed prices ranging from $.05 to $.15 per share originally issued during fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 pursuant to FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19). Such reevaluation was to review if the Company should record an additional derivative liability which would be recordable if the other convertible instruments the Company has outstanding, primarily the convertible debentures discussed above, would limit or prevent the Company from honoring the conversion of these fixed price warrants during their contract term. The evaluation was performed on a contract by contract basis on equity instruments subject to FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19), namely warrants discussed above and the convertible debenture agreements. The Company utilized a sequencing method prescribed by FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19), applying shares available to contracts with the earliest inception date first.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company reclassified contracts for warrants to purchase 12,604,168 shares at fixed prices ranging from $.13 to $.15 per share to contingent liabilities. Contracts for warrants to purchase 11,111,112 shares of the Company’s common stock at $.14 per share were reclassified to permanent equity in May of 2009, and contracts for warrants to purchase 1,604,168 shares of the Company’s common stock at fixed prices ranging from $.13 to $.15 per share were reclassified to permanent equity in September, 2009. The liability was recorded at the fair market value, such estimated value, as restated, was based upon the contractual life of the free standing warrants, using the Black Sholes pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: annual expected return of 0%, an average life of 5 years, annual volatility of 81% and a risk-free interest rate 2.25% . At the issuance date of the free standing warrants, which warrants were issued during the fourth quarter of fiscal June 30, 2008, the estimated value approximated $1,006,200 and, as recalculated on the quarterly measurement dates, at June 30, 2008 the estimated value approximated $433,300. During the fiscal year ended 2009, the estimated value was determined to no longer be material. The net change in the contingent liability was credited to the change in derivative value in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 for $572,900 and $433,300, respectively, in accordance FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19).
Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company has not entered into, and presently the Company does not have, any have contracts for warrants or other equity instruments subject to reclassification to liabilities as prescribed by FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known EITF 00-19) until August 10, 2011 when it entered into a Convertible Note for $25,000 which concurrently provided the note holder a warrant and recorded an additional derivative liability for the warrant.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AWARD DURING QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011(UNAUDITED)
On August 25, 2011, the Board of Directors awarded Messrs Ronald A. Durando, CEO, Gustave T. Dotoli, COO and Martin Smiley, EVP, 395,000,000, 295,000,000 and 295,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company and awarded Messrs. Abraham Biderman and Victor Lawrence, as Directors 40and 10 million restricted shares of common stock of the Company.
In addition, previous 5 year option awards issued on September 18, 2008 to Messrs. Durando, Dotoli and Smiley were re-priced to $.0040 per share from $.05 per share covering 50,000,000 shares, 30,000,000 shares and 18,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company respectively. The revised exercise price of options to purchase up to 98,000,000 shares to $.0040 resulted in an incremental cost of $339,700 which was recorded as deferred compensation which will be amortized to expense through September 18, 2013. Additionally on August 25, 2011, the Board amended the conversion feature of officers loans discussed earlier in this Note 9, with a conversion price of $.0075 originally set in April 2009, to a revised conversion price of $.0040.

At June 30, 2011, the Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 111.6 million and $ 110.7 million to offset future federal and state income taxes, respectively, which expire at various times from 2016 through 2030. The federal net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to the separate return loss limitation rules and IRC section 382 limitations due to changes in ownership. The Company has assessed the evidence of its forecasted future operations against the potential likelihood of the realization of the deferred tax assets to make the determination that the Company will not utilize these carry forwards and has recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset.
The Company has a loss of $ $7,365,745 in 2010 and $486,391 in 2011. Deferred income taxes relate principally to the use of net operating loss carry forwards; these can differ from computations based upon book losses for the use for tax purposes of accelerated depreciation methods and the difference in the book and tax basis of certain stock based compensation.
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations differs from taxes that would result from applying Federal statutory rates because of the following:

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COMMITMENTS
The Company had a lease obligation for the rental of office space in Little Falls New Jersey until May 1, 2011. The current annual obligation under such lease requires rent of $2,347 per month ($28,164 annually) for the year beginning June 1, 2011 and ending May 31, 2012.
mPhase has entered into various agreements with Georgia Tech Research ("GTRC") and its affiliate, Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation ("GTARC"), pursuant to which the Company receives technical assistance in developing the commercialization of its Digital Video and Data Delivery System. The amount incurred by the Company for GTRC technical assistance with respect to its research and development activities during the years ended 2009, 2010 and 2011 totaled $0, $0 and $0 respectively, and $13,539,952 from the period from inception through June 30, 2011, all of which is included in “discontinued operations”.
CONTINGENCIES
The Company has offered and sold convertible notes to JMJ Financial in the aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of $10,270,400 through June 30, 2011. Such convertible notes provide cash funding to the Company of up to $9,500,600. Through June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, approximately $6,472,000 of cash has been received by the Company, $5,936,150 and $5,990,606 of which of which has been converted by JMJ Financial through June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively, into a substantial number of shares of common stock without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or qualification under state securities laws. The Company believes that any sales of common stock by JMJ are in full compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has obtained an opinion of outside counsel regarding such compliance.
Nevertheless, it is possible such compliance could be challenged in the future by either regulatory agencies or shareholders. In particular, questions regarding the economic risk of JMJ Financial with respect to the collateral required under the secured note delivered by JMJ Financial in payment of the purchase price for the Company's convertible note could be raised since the secured note contains a prepayment provision allowing JMJ to prepay such note, in full, by returning the convertible note. If a court of law determines that any offer or sale of common stock of the Company received in a conversion by JMJ Financial was not in compliance with Rule 144 then JMJ could be deemed to be an underwriter. The result would be that the Company would have been engaged in a primary offering of common stock through an underwriter in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Securities Act of 1933, as amended, requires that any claim for rescission be brought within one year of the violation. The time periods within which claims for rescission must be brought under state securities laws vary and may be two years or more from the date of the violation. At June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, approximately 395 million shares of our outstanding common stock issued in respect of our convertible note transactions with JMJ Financial could be subject to rescission with a potential liability approximating $4.08 and $4.171 million, including a liability of approximately $448,000 and $538,800 for interest at 10% per annum, respectively.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective July 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.
Financial assets and liabilities valued using level 1 inputs are based on unadjusted quoted market prices within active markets. Financial assets and liabilities valued using level 2 inputs are based primarily on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets. For certain long-term debt, the fair value was based on present value techniques using inputs derived principally or corroborated from market data. Financial assets and liabilities using level 3 inputs were primarily valued using management's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value are consistently applied.

Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is input is unobservable. Level 3 financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Some of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables.
We have determined that it is not practical to estimate the fair value of our notes payable because of their unique nature and the costs that would be incurred to obtain an independent valuation. We do not have comparable outstanding debt on which to base an estimated current borrowing rate or other discount rate for purposes of estimating the fair value of the notes payable and we have not been able to develop a valuation model that can be applied consistently in a cost efficient manner. These factors all contribute to the impracticability of estimating the fair value of the notes payable. At September 30, 2011, the carrying value of the notes payable and accrued interest for convertible agreements and officers’ notes was approximately $2.276 million. The JMJ convertible notes, which are due at various times through December 2012, yield an interest rate of 12%. Refer to Note 3 of these financial statements for more information about the Company’s notes payable.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 1, 2011, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of New Jersey increasing its authorized shares of common stock to 6 billion shares.
On July 28, 2011, the Company announced that it entered into a letter of intent (LOI) to acquire Energy Innovative Products, Inc. (EIP), a developer of proprietary technologies for reducing energy usage in refrigeration and cooling systems, as well as equipment utilizing AC induction motors. EIP, based in Fairfield, NJ, uses patented and patent pending solutions to offer a series of products that control voltage and current used by compressor systems, including those in refrigeration decks, HVAC wall units, commercial refrigeration systems, and consumer equipment. The company, founded in 2008, believes its technology is uniquely positioned to capitalize on each of these multi-billion dollar market opportunities by allowing legacy systems to achieve Energy Star status as well as compliance with emerging standards by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and other regulatory bodies. In the United States alone, there are several million legacy refrigerated vending machines used by major beverage companies. The Company, subject to further due diligence, believes that EIP's solution is the only one certified for Energy Star status and able to deliver a significant reduction in power consumption by vending machines without reducing efficiency or cooling and without requiring a change-out in the unit's refrigeration deck. Governmental and power company rebates are available to support the purchase of EIP's products in several states. The terms of the deal include the issuance of common shares and warrants for an 81% stake in EIP. The transaction is expected to become a Definitive Agreement by the end of 2011 and close no later than January 31, 2011.

Additionally, the Board amended the conversion feature of officers loans discussed in Note 9, originally with a conversion price of $.0075 in April 2009, to a conversion price of $.0040.
On September 13, 2011, the Company entered into a second Forbearance Agreements with John Fife restructuring the investment. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement the agreed principal amount of the Convertible Note outstanding was $328,000 and the two additional promissory notes were cancelled. As of September 30, 2011, $47,200 of the outstanding balance has been converted into 10,000,000 shares of common stock leaving a remaining outstanding balance of $280,800. Based upon the price of the Company’s common stock price of $.0047 on September 30, 2011, the holder could convert into approximately 59,744,681 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Convertible Note which originally scheduled to mature March 4, 2011was extended until June 30, 2012 pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement dated as of September 13, 2011. Increases in the principal amount of the convertible note are also be convertible into common stock of the Company at the option of the holder at a price equal to the dollar amount of the note being converted divided by 75% of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during the 20 day trading period immediately preceding the date of conversion.

The instrument is convertible into the Company’s common stock at 75% of the volume weight average price of the stock based upon the average of the three lowest trading days in the 20 day trading period immediately preceding such conversion. Absent an effective Registration Statement, the holder of the Convertible Note may not sell any common stock prior to 6 months from the date of funding of each of the respective tranches of such instrument under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS- (Unaudited)

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our directors and officers are indemnified by our bylaws against amounts actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they are a party by reason of being or having been directors or officers of the Company. Our certificate of incorporation provides that none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable for damages for breach of any fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of any such director or officer. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to such directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by such director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided however, that:
(i) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and
(ii) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. That, for determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities;
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
108
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Since the registrant is subject to Rule 430, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430(B) or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided; however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
