PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read together with, the more detailed information and financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the Risk Factors and the financial statements and related notes included in this prospectus.

 

Unless the context indicates or otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “us,”, “our” “mPhase” or the “Registrant” refer to mPhase Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and its subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of New Jersey in 1979 under the name Tecma Laboratory, Inc. and has subsequently operated under Tecma Laboratories, Inc., and Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc., until June 2, 1997 when the Company changed its name to mPhase Technologies, Inc.

 

Through fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the Company solely focused on the management of intellectual property associated with the development of innovative power cells and related products through the science of microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nano-technology.

 

On January 11, 2019, the Company underwent a major change in management and control. The new management of the Company is positioning the Company to be a technology leader in artificial intelligence and machine learning while enabling a more rapid commercial development of its patent portfolio and other intellectual property. The Company’s goal is to generate significant revenue from its artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.

 

On February 15, 2019, the Company acquired Travel Buddhi, a software platform to enhance travel via ultra-customization tools that tailor a planned trip experience in ways not previously available.

 

On June 30, 2019, the Company acquired 99% of the outstanding common shares of Alpha Predictions LLP (“Alpha Predictions”). Alpha Predictions is an India-based technology company that has developed a suite of commercial data analysis products for use across multiple industries. The current product offering includes software covering eight categories: inventory, stock management, marketing optimization, sentiment analysis, customer segmentation and behavior, agro-tech image detection, electrocardiogram automation, and a recommendation engine with multiple uses.

 

On May 11, 2020, the Company acquired all of the assets owned, used, or held by CloseComms Limited (“CloseComms”), a United Kingdom based company with offices in Wales (U.K.) and California (U.S.). One of the CloseComms acquired assets is a patented software application platform that can be integrated into a retail customer’s existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, giving the retailer important customer data and enabling AI-enhanced, targeted promotions to drive store traffic and sales.

  

Competition

 

The industry of artificial intelligence and machine learning software is highly competitive. Well capitalized companies such as Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft are devoting significant resources and capital in developing customer products and solutions using this type of technology. Such companies have far greater resources than the Company. The Company believes, however, that it has assembled a team of highly qualified software and technology experts on a very cost-effective basis. The Company is also acquiring entities that have already established customer relationships, revenues and market niches that will enable the Company to leverage off such capabilities, and where appropriate, enhance its existing technologies.

 

Recent Developments

 

Financings

 

On July 31, 2020, we issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $68,000, which note accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum, matures on July 31, 2021 and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price as defined in the convertible note, subject to adjustment.

 

On July 24, 2020, we issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $105,000, which note accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum, matures on July 24, 2021 and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price as defined in the convertible note, subject to adjustment.

 

On June 12, 2020, we issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $103,000, which note accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum, matures on June 12, 2021 and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price as defined in the convertible note, subject to adjustment.

 

On June 2, 2020, we issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $78,000, which note accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum, matures on June 2, 2021 and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price as defined in the convertible note, subject to adjustment.

THE OFFERING

 

On July 13, 2020, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with White Lion Capital, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, White Lion is committed to purchase up to $3,000,000 of our Common Stock over a period of up to 30 months. From time to time during the 30 month period commencing from the effectiveness of the registration statement, we may deliver a purchase notice to White Lion which states the dollar amount of our Common Stock that we intend to sell to White Lion on a date specified in the purchase notice. The maximum investment amount per notice must be no more than 250% of the average daily trading dollar volume of our Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to date of the applicable purchase notice. The purchase price per share to be paid by White Lion will be 95% of the lowest traded price of the Common Stock the five business days prior to the closing date.

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement with White Lion, we also entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Agreement”) with White Lion, pursuant to which we agreed to use our best efforts to, within 45 business days of July 13, 2020, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement, covering the resale of an aggregate 93,457,944 shares of our Common Stock underlying the Purchase Agreement with White Lion. Of the total number of shares underlying the Purchase Agreement, we are registering 10,406,591 shares of Common Stock, representing 33% of the shares in the public float as of August 13, 2020.

 

At an assumed purchase price under the Purchase Agreement of $0.03050 (equal to 95% of the closing price of our Common Stock of $0.03210 on August 13, 2020, we will be able to receive up to $317,349 in gross proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 10,406,591 purchase notice shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. At an assumed purchase price of $0.03050 under the Purchase Agreement, we would be required to register 87,970,192 additional shares of our Common Stock to obtain the balance of $2,682,651 under the Purchase Agreement. Due to the floating offering price, we are not able to determine the exact number of shares that we will issue under the Purchase Agreement.

 

There are substantial risks to investors as a result of the issuance of shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement with White Lion. These risks include dilution of stockholders’ percentage ownership, significant decline in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds when needed.

 

We intend to sell White Lion periodically our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement and White Lion will, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the market price. This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to White Lion to raise the same amount of funds, as our stock price declines.

 

The aggregate investment amount of $3,000,000 was determined based on numerous factors, including the following: the proceeds received from any purchase notices tendered to White Lion under the Purchase Agreement will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes and acquisitions of assets, businesses or operations or for other purposes that our board of directors, in its good faith deem to be in the best interest of the Company.

 

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholder identified herein of 10,406,591 shares of our Common Stock.

 

Common stock offered by selling stockholder:   10,406,591 shares.
     
Offering price:   Market price or privately negotiated prices.
     
Common stock outstanding after the offering:   83,647,488 shares.
     
Use of proceeds:   We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholder; however, we will receive the proceeds from the sale of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to our exercise of the purchase notice offered by White Lion.
     
Risk factors:   An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk and could result in a loss of your entire investment. Prior to making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all of the information in this prospectus and, in particular, you should evaluate the risk factors set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. This prospectus contains the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Revenue Concentration

 

Through March 31, 2020, the Company was party to agreements which potentially subject it to concentrations of revenue risk through one customer agreement for its artificial intelligence product platform. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, this one customer accounted for 100% of our total revenue. At March 31, 2020, this one customer accounted for 100% of our total accounts receivable. Should this customer discontinue its use of the mPhase product platform, the Company could lose its only source of revenue.

 

International Operational Risk

 

The Company relies on a cost-competitive advantage for its artificial intelligence software through the exclusive use of software engineers in the countries of India and the United Kingdom. Any political, economic, or other disruptions in the use of key personnel located in these countries would have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to grow revenue.

 

Funding of Operations

 

The Company expects to need to raise up to $10 million  in the capital markets to continue to fund the Company’s primary operations over the next 12 months. The Company has relied almost exclusively on the variable rate convertible debenture market to raise funds which entails a very high cost of capital. No assurances can be given that the Company will continue to have access to this market which depends upon the price and volatility of the Company’s common stock. Such financing is highly dilutive to other shareholders of the Company since holders of the convertible debentures require substantial discounts for conversions into common stock of the Company or prepayment premiums in cash.

 

Our current “smart surface technology” 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 the date hereof.

 

We have a history of operating losses and we have only one quarter of generating an operating profit in our history.

 

If we are unable to continue generating operating profits and resume suffering 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 with new products in their early stages of development, particularly in light of the uncertainties relating to the new, competitive and rapidly evolving markets in which we currently and expect to 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. 

 

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 continued revenues from our entry into the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as from our Smart Nano Battery 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 our Smart Nano Battery to market, we will be subject to the risk that the marketplace will not accept such product. We are currently transitioning from a company with a research and development focus to a company capable of supporting commercial activities.

 

-6-

 

 

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 continue commercializing our new products in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence as well as successfully commercializing our Smart Nano Battery 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 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 such as artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as our Smart Nanobattery. If these technologies do not produce satisfactory results, our business may be harmed.

 

We may not be able to successfully expand commercial development of our technologies and proposed product lines, which, in turn, would significantly harm our ability to expand revenues and result in an appreciation of an investment in our common stock.

 

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. Other such forces include the success of our research and field testing, the availability of collaborative partners to finance our work in pursuing applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning and “smart surfaces” 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 effect 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.

 

If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably in the future.

 

We are engaged in activities in the artificial intelligence, machine learning, 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 or copyright.

 

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, artificial intelligence, machine learning and 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,
     
  patents will not issue to other parties, which may be infringed by our potential products or technologies, and
     
  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.

 

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 products research and development of software 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.

 

We may incur substantial expenditures in the future in order to protect our intellectual property.

 

We believe that our intellectual property with respect to (i) our artificial intelligence software platforms and (ii) our Smart NanoBattery and our proprietary rights with respect to the Company’s permeable membrane design consisting of both micro and nano scale silicon features that are coated with a monolayer chemistry used to repel liquids are critical to our future success. The Company’s current battery related patent portfolio consists of seven issued patents, of which one is jointly owned with Rutgers University, two are jointly owned with Nokia (formerly Lucent Technologies) and four are licensed from Nokia. We also have four patent applications related to the Smart Surfaces technology that have been filed with the United States Patent Office and other foreign patent offices that are in various stages of examiner review, as well as four additional patent applications related to other Smart Surfaces technologies under review. Our pending patent applications may never be granted for various reasons, including the existence of conflicting patents or defects in our applications. Even if additional U.S. patents are ultimately granted, there are significant risks regarding enforcement of patents in international markets. There are many patents being filed as the science of nanotechnology develops and the Company has limited financial resources compared to large, well established companies to bring patent litigation based upon claims of patent infringement.

 

Our products may not be accepted on a significant scale 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 nanotechnology products. 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.

 

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 in India to help design, develop and manufacture our products. The consultants and contract research organizations we engage provide us critical skills, resources and finished products for sale that we do not have within our own company. As a result, we depend on these consultants and contract research and product supply organizations to deliver our existing automotive products and 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. Some of these collaborators will be located in India and other countries outside of the United States which pose additional legal and economic risks. 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.

 

Risks Related to Competition

 

The market for energy storage products, artificial intelligence and machine learning 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.

 

-10-

 

 

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.

 

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.

 

Risks Related to Financial Aspects of Our Business

 

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, and
     
  The costs for recruiting and retaining employees and consultants.

 

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 debt, we would be required to deplete our working capital, if available, or raise additional funds. Our failure to repay the debt, if required, could result in future legal action against us, which could require depletion of our working capital.

 

At June 1, 2020, an aggregate principal amount of $902,000, plus accrued interest of $126,695, related to our convertible promissory notes was outstanding. Such outstanding principal and accrued interest, if not paid with cash, could be converted into 4,321,587 shares of the Company’s common stock. Sales of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and make it significantly more difficult for a purchaser of our common stock to sell shares of our common stock at times and at prices that a potential shareholder deems appropriate.

 

As of December 15, 2014, a Convertible Debenture Holder has a Judgment in the amount of approximately $1.6 million entered into by the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois.

 

The Company has entered into a Forbearance Agreement, as amended, with John Fife currently its largest debt holder arising out of a lawsuit and judgment in connection with the default on a Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $550,000 issued on September 13, 2011. The Company did not make the final payment of $195,000, which was due and payable in March of 2020, placing the Company in default of the Forbearance Agreement. The Company and Fife are negotiating a structure whereby the Company will be able to make the final payment of $195,000, which may include additional consideration depending on the timing of when the final payment is made. The Company expects to repay Fife the agreed upon balance due as quickly as possible based upon its available capital. The ultimate final payment amount is expected to be less than the liability balance of $762,921 at March 31, 2020, presented as liabilities in arrears – judgement settlement agreement on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The issuance of shares of our common stock upon conversion of convertible promissory notes will cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.

 

The issuance of shares of our common stock upon conversion of convertible promissory notes 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 at significant discounts ranging up to 40% from the then current market price of our stock. 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.

 

mPhase’s stock price has suffered significant declines during the past year following our reverse stock split effective May 22, 2019, and remains volatile.

 

The market price of our common stock closed at $1.44 per share on May 22, 2019 and at $0.18 per share on June 8, 2020. During such period, the number of common shares outstanding increased by approximately 2.5 million shares due to periodic private placements and other financing arrangements involving convertible promissory notes issued by the Company in order to finance company operations. Stocks in microcap companies having stock values below $1.00 per share have been very volatile during such period. Our common stock is a highly speculative investment and is suitable only for such investors with financial resources that enable them to sustain the loss of their entire investment in such stock. Because the price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and is not traded on the NASDAQ National or NASDAQ Small Cap exchanges, it is considered to be a “penny stock,” limiting the type of customers that broker/dealers can sell to. Such customers consist only of “established customers” and “Accredited Investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), generally individuals and entities of substantial net worth, thereby limiting the liquidity of our common stock.

Other General Risks

 

We may not be able to raise sufficient capital to market our new products in the areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning and our Smart NanoBattery product applications of our technology on any meaningful scale.

 

We may not be able to obtain the amount of additional capital needed until the Company has established significant and predictable sales and revenues from our technology. We have been successful in the past as a micro-cap development stage company in raising capital; however, recent trends in the capital markets are likely to pose significant challenges for the Company. Factors affecting the availability of capital include:

 

  the price, volatility and trading volume of our common stock;
     
  future financial results including sales and revenues generated from operations;
     
  the market’s view of the business sector of nanotechnology reserve batteries and emergency flashlights; and
     
  the perception in the capital markets of our ability to execute our business plan

 

We have reported net operating losses for each of our fiscal years from our inception.

 

We have reported net operating losses for each of our fiscal years from our inception in 1996 through the present and may not be able to operate profitability in the future.

 

We have had net losses of approximately $228,500,000 since our inception in 1996 and cannot be certain when or if we will ever be profitable. We expect to continue to have net losses for the foreseeable future. We need to raise at least $5 million in additional cash during the next 12 months through further equity private placements or debt financings to continue operations and implement the acquisition plans of the Company’s new management including the completion of the acquisitions of CloseComms, Alpha Predictions and Travel Buddhi. At March 31, 2020, we had a working capital surplus of $450,622 and stockholders’ equity of $2,597,121.

 

Our independent auditor’s report expresses doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The reports of the Company’s outside auditor Assurance Dimensions, and its prior auditors D’Arelli Pruzansky, P.A., Demetrius Berkower, LLC., Rosenberg, Rich, Baker, Berman & Company, and Arthur Andersen & Co., with respect to its latest audited reports on Form10-K for each of the fiscal years commencing in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, stated that “there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.” Such opinion from our outside auditors makes it significantly more difficult and expensive for the Company to raise additional capital necessary to continue our operations.

 

Risk Factors Related to Our Operations

 

We have not to date had completed final military or commercial development of our flagship product, the Smart NanoBattery.

 

We have derived no material revenues from our Smart NanoBattery from inception of development in February 2004 through March 31, 2020.

 

-13-

 

 

The loss of future potential investments by prior officer and directors could adversely affect our business.

 

Management and employment contracts with all of our officers prior to January 11, 2019 have expired and no assurances can be given that such executives will continue to invest in the Company or that the Company will be able to successfully enter into agreements with such key executives. All of our prior officers have made significant investments in the Company in the form of periodic equity purchases of common stock and bridge loans and have been granted stock and stock options that are intended to represent a key component of their compensation. Such grants may not provide the intended incentives to such officers to continue investing in our common stock if our stock price declines or experiences significant volatility. In addition, our three prior corporate officers accumulated past accrued and unpaid salaries in the aggregate amount of approximately $539,000 and certain notes and accrued interest that were settled for common stock and an amended conversion feature during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and portions of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, have agreed to convert such amounts into common stock of the Company.

 

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 a very long lead time since it is not possible to predict when major companies will license such technology for sale to their customers. The scientific disciplines of artificial intelligence, machine learning, nanotechnology and microfluidics used to develop our Smart NanoBattery are each in their very early stages and acceptance and demand for such products can often be a long evolutionary process.

 

The sciences of artificial intelligence, machine learning and nanotechnology is at a very early stage as disciplines and each is subject to great uncertainty and swift changes in technology.

 

Artificial intelligence and microfluid dynamics, including 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 improved product introductions is unpredictable. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are even newer sciences and are subject to many uncertain future developments.

 

We face significant competition for our new products.

 

The market for “green” products, such as our smart nanobots , and solutions is characterized by changing regulatory standards, new and improved product introductions, and changing customer demands.

 

Large companies such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have great resources and are currently focusing significant capital for new solutions using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Such companies have made significant inroads to date in the areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning owing to their substantial capital resources and focused and committed research and development.

 

Our future success will depend upon our ability to achieve compelling technology innovations that are economic and practical to produce in large deployments. 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.

 

-14-

 

 

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.

 

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, as well as our artificial intelligence products, will depend upon both military and commercial needs going forward and the demand for our products as components. Thus, the success of our technology will depend upon the continuing need for the end user products and market demand.

 

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 artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as nanotechnology and microfluidics used to develop our Smart NanoBattery are each in their very early stages and acceptance and demand for such products can often be a long evolutionary process.

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.

 

General Risks Relating to Our Business

 

Global or regional health pandemics or epidemics, including COVID-19, could negatively impact our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.

 

Our business and financial results could be negatively impacted by the recent outbreak of COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics. The severity, magnitude and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain, rapidly changing and hard to predict. During 2020, COVID-19 has significantly impacted economic activity and markets around the world, and it could negatively impact our business in numerous ways, including but not limited to those outlined below:

 

  Purchasing power of consumers may be reduced thereby affecting demand for our products and services.
     
  Decreased demand for our products and services due to significant capital constraints as a result of COVID-19 and the macro-economic environment.
     
  Disruptions or uncertainties related to the COVID-19 outbreak for a sustained period of time could result in delays or modifications to our strategic plans and initiatives and hinder our ability to achieve our business objectives.
     
  Illness, travel restrictions or workforce disruptions could negatively affect our business processes.
     
  Government or regulatory responses to pandemics could negatively impact our business. Mandatory lockdowns or other restrictions could materially adversely impact our operations and results.
     
  The COVID-19 outbreak has increased volatility and pricing in the capital markets and volatility is likely to continue which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain debt or equity financing to fund operations.

 

-15-

 

 

These and other impacts of the COVID-19 or other global or regional health pandemics or epidemics could have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section. We might not be able to predict or respond to all impacts on a timely basis to prevent near- or long-term adverse impacts to our results. The ultimate impact of these disruptions also depends on events beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of any outbreak and actions taken by parties other than us to respond to them. Any of these disruptions could have a negative impact on our business operations, financial performance and results of operations, which impact could be material.

 

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 are limited in scope and coverage and may 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, due to limited financial resources, be unable to correctly cover those risks that we can anticipate or quantify as 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.

 

-16-

 

 

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.

 

We may not be able to adequately defend against piracy of intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions.

 

Considerable research in the area of artificial intelligence 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.

 

We may incur substantial expenditures in the future in order to protect our intellectual property.

 

We believe that our intellectual property with respect to our Smart NanoBattery, our proprietary rights with respect to the Company’s permeable membrane design consisting of both micro and nano scale silicon features that are coated with a monolayer chemistry used to repel liquids, and our recent entry into the area of artificial intelligence and machine learning are critical to our future success. The Company’s current battery related patent portfolio consists of Smart Surfaces technologies. Our pending patent applications may never be granted for various reasons, including the existence of conflicting patents or defects in our applications. Even if additional U.S. patents are ultimately granted, there are significant risks regarding enforcement of patents in international markets. There are many patents being filed as the science of nanotechnology develops and the Company has limited financial resources compared to large, well established companies to bring patent litigation based upon claims of patent infringement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The selling stockholder will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock offered by them pursuant to this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholder covered by this prospectus. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to our exercise of the purchase notice offered by White Lion. We will use proceeds from the sale of our common stock to White Lion for general corporate and working capital purposes, including possibly acquiring assets, businesses and developing other operations, or for other purposes that our board of directors, using prudent business judgment, deems to be in the best interest of the Company.

 

We will pay for expenses of this offering, except that the selling stockholder will pay any broker discounts or commissions or equivalent expenses and expenses of its legal counsel applicable to the sale of its shares.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

Our shares of Common Stock are currently listed on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets under the symbol “XDSL”. The OTC Markets is not a national securities exchange registered with the SEC. The price of our Common Stock is thinly traded and subject to significant volatility on OTC Markets. The proposed offering price of the Shares has been estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, on the basis of the average of the high and low prices of the shares of our Common Stock as reported on the OTC Markets Group, Inc. on August 13, 2020. We also considered, pursuant to Item 201 of Reg. SK, the range of high and low bid information for each full quarterly period within the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period for which financial statements are included.

 

DILUTION

 

The sale of our common stock to White Lion Capital, LLC in accordance with the common stock purchase agreement will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net loss per share could increase in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our Purchase Notice, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to White Lion in order to drawdown pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement. If our stock price decreases during the pricing period, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.

Description of Operations

 

Platform Technology

 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 

 

Through its recent acquisitions of CloseComms and Alpha Predictions, the Company has acquired a team of 26 software engineers and data analysis experts capable of enabling the Company to provide products in the artificial intelligence and machine learning areas. The Company has in place and is developing proprietary software to enable customers to enhance their business capabilities by providing sophisticated digital analysis of large volumes of data to provide sophisticated solutions to complex problems. The CloseComms patented software technology can be integrated into a retailer’s existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, giving retailers important customer data and enabling AI-enhanced, targeted promotions to drive store traffic and sales. The Alpha Predictions current product offering includes software covering eight categories: inventory, stock management, marketing optimization, sentiment analysis, customer segmentation and behavior, agro-tech image detection, electrocardiogram automation, and a recommendation engine with multiple uses.

 

Smart Surfaces

 

The surface is an important part of virtually every physical object and often plays an overriding role in many processes, beyond mere connectivity and structural support, but more deeply into areas involving chemical and biological interactions. In some instances, the surface provides an easy entry into the chemical or biological systems; in others it protects the internal elements of the object, surrounded by the surfaces.

 

The Company’s current technology platform is the Smart Surface. By being able to control the surface properties of materials down to the nanometer scale, new and improved devices can be designed and built that may lead to compelling business opportunities. One type of smart surface of particular interest allows properties to be changed in response to an external stimulus.

 

Initially, the Company’s development focused on Micro Electronic Mechanic Systems (MEMS) devices by manipulating the surface of silicon materials – the same material used to make microelectronic materials and devices. Using physical and chemical processes, the surface of the silicon is modified to make solid porous structures known as membranes. This is where microfluidics comes into play. These membranes can be used to selectively control the flow of liquids through the pores or openings at the micrometer length scale.

 

Surfaces may be characterized as hydrophilic or hydrophobic depending on whether or not they attract or repel water (or other liquids). A hydrophilic surface can be wet and adsorbs water. A hydrophobic surface, on the other hand, cannot be wet. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces are abundant in nature and in synthetic materials, both organic and inorganic in chemical composition. A familiar example of a hydrophilic surface is a sponge that readily soaks up water. By contrast, many plant leaves and flower petals are hydrophobic, as are insect parts and bird feathers. Synthetic hydrophobic surfaces include Scotchgard™ treated fabric, Teflon® coated metal, or Rain-X® coated glass. On a hydrophobic surface, water beads up and can move around without being absorbed by the solid material that it is resting on.

 

So-called superhydrophobic surfaces are also found in nature and can now be replicated in the lab. The lotus leaf and rose petal, for example, exhibit super-hydrophobicity. Here water droplets form almost perfect spheres with hardly any contact with the underlying solid surface. This makes the liquid even easier to move and manipulate. The synthesis of superhydrophobic surfaces has recently been made possible by advances in nanotechnology and the Company is leading the way to better understand and create materials and devices incorporating these unique surface properties.

 

As the Company’s research and development efforts evolve, in addition to silicon materials, the ability to control the surface properties of materials can be extended to other substances such as polymers, ceramics, metals, and fibers providing opportunities for our platform technology to be used in a range of potential applications such as energy storage and power management for portable electronics and microelectronics, self-cleaning surfaces, filters for water purification or desalination systems, materials for environmental remediation that separate liquids or solvents, and other situations where the control of the interaction of a solid surface exposed to a liquid is vitally important.

Smart NanoBattery

 

Battery technology has changed little in its fundamentals over the past 150 years. As a result, ordinary batteries begin dissipating energy as soon as they are assembled and therefore have limited shelf life. Chemistries are fixed inside the package so the user cannot interact with the contents to program functionality. The size and form of batteries have not kept pace with the miniaturization of electrical components, microprocessors and integrated circuits. As a result, the optimal implementation of an electronic device is not always achieved. Some batteries contain chemicals that are not considered safe or environmentally friendly (“green”). This makes disposal a potential issue.

 

The Company is challenging this convention by using their proprietary superhydrophobic porous silicon membrane technology as the basis to build the Smart NanoBattery, a reserve battery providing Power On Command™ prior to initial activation.

 

Super-hydrophobicity initially keeps the liquid electrolyte physically separated from the solid electrodes of the battery, thus preventing the chemical reactions from occurring that cause the battery to provide power. This gives the Smart NanoBattery the benefit of potentially infinite shelf life.

 

A conventional battery loses some capacity while sitting on the shelf in its package or stored in an electronic or electrical device, even before being used for the first time. On the other hand, the Smart NanoBattery is built so that it is inactive and remains that way indefinitely until it is turned on. No power is lost to self-discharge or leakage current prior to activation. When needed, the Smart NanoBattery can be activated on command via the phenomenon of electrowetting. The surface properties of the porous silicon membrane are selectively controlled to shift instantly from a superhydrophobic to hydrophilic state. In other words, electrowetting acts as the triggering mechanism.

 

The Company has successfully fabricated and demonstrated its first 3-volt lithium-based Smart NanoBattery, based on a design allowing either manual or remote activation by the user, the feature known as Power on Command™.

 

By incorporating the phenomenon of electrowetting on nanostructured surfaces into a revolutionary way of storing energy, the Smart NanoBattery provides power to portable electronic and microelectronic devices exactly when and where it is needed. As a reserve battery it is an augmentation to conventional primary batteries. The nanobattery converts stored chemical energy into usable electrical energy, but in a way that is potentially more reliable, more versatile, more environmentally friendly, and less expensive than conventional primary batteries.

 

Applications

 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

 

The Company has recently acquired technologies focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning. The related proprietary software enable customers to enhance their business capabilities by providing sophisticated digital analysis of large volumes of data to provide sophisticated solutions to complex problems. The current patented software technology can be integrated into a retailer’s existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, giving retailers important customer data and enabling AI-enhanced, targeted promotions to drive store traffic and sales. Additional product offerings include software covering eight categories: inventory, stock management, marketing optimization, sentiment analysis, customer segmentation and behavior, agro-tech image detection, electrocardiogram automation, and a recommendation engine with multiple uses.

 

Smart Surfaces and NanoBattery

 

The Company is exploring military and commercial applications of smart surfaces in which the properties can be accurately and precisely controlled down to the nanometer scale. Electrowetting allows the switching from a hydrophobic to hydrophilic state as a result of an electronic stimulus.

 

The Smart NanoBattery, the Company’s first smart surface product, has a unique architecture that enables a shelf life of decades, remote activation, programmable control, scalable manufacturing, and adaptability to multiple configurations. The value proposition to the end user is to have a source of energy or power that is literally always ready – reliable, convenient, low cost – a battery guaranteed to work at full capacity when and where you need it.

 

-24-

 

 

The Smart NanoBattery can conceivably supply power “on command” to a wide variety of portable electronic and microelectronic devices used in military, medical, industrial, and consumer applications.

 

The Company has demonstrated that the battery works in lab tests as well as in a significant field test conducted for the U.S. Army as part of a guided munitions project. The relationship with the Army also included an $850,000 funded project to develop a battery for a mission critical computer memory backup application. The target was a small footprint, 3-volt lithium battery with a minimum shelf life of 20 years and uninterruptible power output during this time period. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no other battery technology available today can deliver the long-term performance requirements specified by the U.S. Army for this application.

 

The Smart NanoBattery can potentially be designed to accommodate a variety of sophisticated portable electronic and microelectronic devices including next-generation cell phones, handheld gaming devices, wireless sensor systems, radio frequency identification tags, high-tech flashlights and beacons, health alert alarms, and non-implantable and implantable medical devices such as pacemakers.

 

Initial applications will address the need to supply emergency and backup power to a range of products for defense and security, with future applications in the commercial and consumer arenas.

 

Strategic Alliances

 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

 

The Company has recently entered into separate contracts with multiple customers to provide, including but not limited to, software, training, and support services as required. The contracts provide for initial revenue streams as well as subsequent revenue for training, support, updates and maintenance services as provided.

 

Smart NanoBattery

 

The Company continued during 2019, together with Picatinny Arsenal, to jointly seek federal funding under SBIR grants to develop additional new products for military small munitions applications. The Company has a strong historic cooperative relationship for product development and testing with Picatinny Arsenal having entered into 3 CRADA’s (Cooperative Research Agreements) with this small munitions testing facility of the U.S. Army The Company seek opportunities with various potential academic partners to obtain further STTR grants for new product research and development.

 

In 2007, the Company entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (“CRADA”) with Picatinny Arsenal to test the single cell version of the Smart NanoBattery suitable for future research and development programs for projectile launched munitions. From 2007 through the first quarter of calendar year 2010, numerous internal laboratory air gun simulation tests were performed, including a live-air gun and live gun fired test at the United States Army’s facility at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, Maryland. A prototype of the Smart NanoBattery was the subject of a live fire test as part of a projectile fired out of an Abrams Tank. The results of the test indicated that the battery was activated by 10,000 G forces indicating that it could supply energy necessary to operate a guidance system for small munitions. In addition, the Smart NanoBattery demonstrated extreme resiliency to shock and acceleration since, it survived tests that subjected it to high acceleration of over 30,000 G forces.

 

On February 9, 2011, the Company announced that it had signed a 3-year 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 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. In order for significant further research and development to be performed with respect to the Smart Nano Battery the Company will have to be successful in obtaining additional congressional funding specifically designated for this type of battery. This CRADA was renewed on March 27, 2014 for an additional three-year period by the Army. The Company is currently seeking to enter a new CRADA with the U.S. Army, subject to availability of funding.

Products and Services

 

Since its inception in 1996, the Company has been focused on the development of intellectual property involving high technology innovative solutions and products with high-growth potential. The Company has previously served as an incubator for exploratory research and initial development for products that are best characterized as having a high risk/high reward profile since they involve exploratory research to achieve significant scientific breakthroughs from existing products that can have a substantial economic impact and benefit upon successful commercialization. Beginning on January 11, 2019, the new management of the Company has shifted the focus to the rapid expansion of profit centers centered around the rapid creation, either by acquisition or fast development of software platforms that will enable the Company to generate revenue from artificial intelligence and machine learning.

 

Competitive Business Conditions

 

The industry of artificial intelligence and machine learning software is highly competitive. Well capitalized companies such as Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft are devoting significant resources and capital in developing customer products and solutions using this technology. Such companies have far greater resources than the Company. The Company believes, however, that it has assembled a group in India of highly qualified software and technology experts on a very cost-effective basis. The Company is also acquiring entities that have already established customer relationships, revenues and market niches that will enable the Company to leverage off such capabilities, and where appropriate, enhance its existing technology in the area of “Smart Surfaces” described below.

 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Segment

 

Artificial intelligence is the use of machines to do cognitive work such as problem solving, pattern matching and creating new patterns. Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence which refers to training a machine as opposed to simply programming it. Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize nearly all aspects of business across sections and functions. Currently only a small percentage of organizations have deployed artificial intelligence but this is changing quickly. There is a high correlation between organizations that are far along in digitizing their information and those that are ready for products and solutions provided by artificial intelligence and machine learning providers. The Company has acquired and is developing significant product capabilities in this area.

 

Battery Segment

 

The Company believes that the design and functionality of its lithium Smart NanoBattery make it unique to the portable electronics battery market segment throughout the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. To the best of our knowledge, there is no existing product that directly competes with the Smart NanoBattery in terms of its combination of small size and reserve design. As a reserve battery, the Smart NanoBattery remains dormant until it is activated on command. It does not self-discharge or die prior to its first activation, thereby offering extremely long shelf life prior to use as either a primary or backup battery in a device. Shelf life is projected to be in excess of twenty years.

 

There are numerous thin film batteries based on lithium metal, lithium ion and lithium polymer, as well as other chemistries, used in military devices, portable electronics, RFID tags and wireless sensor networks, that are similar in size to the Smart NanoBattery, often referred to as microbatteries. None of these designs is based on reserve battery architectures. Thin film batteries are manufactured by companies including Cymbet Corporation, Front Edge Technology, Infinite Power Solutions, ITN Energy Systems, Johnson Research and Development Company, KSW Microtec, Lithium Technology Corporation, MPower Solutions, Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Power Paper, Solicore, VoltaFlex Corporation. Large companies such as Energizer, Ultralife, Varta and Proctor & Gamble are also involved with developing thin film batteries. Thin film battery markets are anticipated to grow substantially as the result of a wide expansion of portable devices in that time frame. With 3.5 billion cell phone users and 67 billion RFID tags per year, it is expected that there will be substantial commercial demand for thin film batteries.

Traditional reserve batteries are distinct from the mPhase Smart NanoBattery in terms of size and activation mechanism. The market for reserve batteries has largely been limited to the military for supplying power to munitions and other mission-critical electronic devices. The traditional reserve battery tends to be larger and certain types are built by hand and contain mechanical parts to activate the battery. The Smart NanoBattery relies on the phenomenon of electrowetting to initiate activation or a mechanical barrier that can be broken, in the case of the breakable barrier design. Traditional reserve batteries for military applications have been supplied by companies such as EaglePicher, Yardney and Storage Battery Systems, Inc. The Company believes that it may be able to significantly reduce the cost of its Smart Nanobattery with the recent discovery of the potential of “printing” the battery on a form of graphite rather than traditional silicon surface. The Company, through its working relationship with Stevens Institute, began in fiscal year 2012 to investigate the feasibility of the use of graphite which is much stronger, flexible and inexpensive than traditional silicon.

 

Outsourcing

 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

 

In certain instances, as determined by the Company, third party vendors are contracted to perform certain development of the Company’s proprietary software rather than performing all of the development functions internally.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company practices an outsourcing model whereby it contracts with third party vendors to perform research and development rather than performing the bulk of these functions internally. For current development of its SmartNano battery, the Company has outsourced the majority of the work. From February of 2004 through March of 2007, the Company engaged Lucent/Bell Labs (now Nokia) to develop, using the science of nanotechnology, micro power cell arrays creating a structure for zinc batteries that separated the chemicals or electrolytes prior to initial activation. This was done by suspending on nano grass or small spoke-like pieces of silicon a liquid electrolyte taking advantage of a superhydrophobic effect that occurs as a result of the ability to manipulate materials of a very small size or less than 1/50,000 the size of a human hair. The Company has, as a result of outsourcing, been able to have access to facilities, equipment and research capabilities that the Company would not be able to develop on its own given the financial resources and time that would be required to build or acquire such research capabilities. The Company has also been able to achieve key strategic alliances with the U.S. Army to successfully test, under military combat conditions, its SmartBattery design, leading to further validation of its path to product development under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). In addition, the Company has formed a relationship with Energy Storage Research Group, a center of excellence at Rutgers University, in New Jersey, that has enabled the Company to expand its battery development from a zinc to a lithium battery capable of delivering significantly more power. During fiscal years 2009 and 2010, the Company outsourced considerable foundry work for final development of the Smart NanoBattery to Silex, a Swedish company.

 

During the period from March of 2005 to April of 2007, the Company engaged the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. to develop a magnetometer or electronic sensor also using the science of nanotechnology. Although the Company has, in order to conserve financial resources, currently suspended further development of its magnetometer product line, we believe that the intellectual property developed from the research to date could be resumed to develop viable military and industrial products depending upon future financial resources of the Company and future competitive market conditions.

 

Commencing in fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Company has limited product development of its Smart NanoBattery in order to conserve resources. The Company continues through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, to protect its intellectual property with respect to the Smart NanoBattery through active management of its patent portfolio.

 

Patents and Licenses

 

The Company has filed and intend to file United States patents and/or copyright applications relating to some of our proposed products and technologies, either with our collaborators, strategic partners or on our own. There can be no assurance however, that any of the patents obtained will be adequate to protect our technologies or that we will have sufficient resources to enforce our patents.

 

-27-

 

 

Because we may license our technology and products in foreign markets, we may also seek foreign patent protection for some specific patents. With respect to foreign patents, the patent laws of other countries may differ significantly from those of the United States as to the patentability of our products or technology. In addition, it is possible that competitors in both the United States and foreign countries, many of which have substantially greater resources and have made substantial investments in competing technologies, may have applied for, or may in the future apply for and obtain, patents, which will have an adverse impact on our ability to make and sell our products. There can also be no assurance that competitors will not infringe on our patents or will not claim that we are infringing on their patents. Defense and prosecution of patent suits, even if successful, are both costly and time consuming. An adverse outcome in the defense of a patent suit could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from third parties or require us to cease our operations.

 

The Company has intellectual property as follows:

 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:

 

The Company is evaluating various aspects of its artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and will file for protective patents as determined appropriate.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, potential impairment of intangible assets, accrued liabilities and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in Note 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on October 15, 2019 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of March 31, 2020, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

 

Results of Operations

 

Continuing Operations

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue increased to $22,688,086 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The increase is the result of expanding upon a new customer agreement entered into during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019. Such new customer agreement accounted for 100% of our total revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2020, resulting in a significant risk of customer concentration.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue totaled $16,955,320 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The increase is the result of generating the increased revenue.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses, which include software development costs, salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, legal and professional fees, and general and administrative expenses increased to $20,685,547 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1,541,960 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $19,143,587. The increase is primarily due to stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an increase in general and administrative expenses related to salaries of the new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, coupled with increased operating expenses to support the increased operations of the business, partially offset by lower expenses from prior officers for services rendered.

 

On a comparative, proforma basis, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our operating expenses increased to $4,369,203 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $231,511 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $4,137,692. The increase is primarily due to increased operating expenses to support the increased operations of the business, partially offset by lower expenses from prior officers for services rendered.

 

Other (Expense) Income

 

Our other income increased by $244,279, or 175%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is primarily the result of a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liability associated with the convertible promissory notes, partially offset by increases in amortization related to the convertible promissory notes and interest expense.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations

 

We had a net loss from continuing operations of $14,848,135 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a net loss of $1,681,593 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $13,166,542. The increase in net loss is primarily driven by the increase in operating expenses and other expense, partially offset by the increase in gross profit, as disclosed above.

 

On a comparative, proforma basis, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we generated net income from continuing operations of $1,468,209 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $1,839,353. The increase in proforma net income is primarily driven by the increase in gross profit, partially offset by increases in operating expenses and other expense.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, there are no revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses, other income (expense), or net income from continuing operations. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, loss from discontinued operations was $14,713.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the policies below as critical to our understanding of the results of our business operations. We discuss the impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

 

In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions in preparing our financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. The following critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our consolidated financial statements. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, refer to Note 3 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in the notes to consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

We consider the following accounting policies to be those most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition:

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as well as related interpretations of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2020, we had $8,054 of cash and a working capital surplus of $450,622 as compared to cash of $33,996 and a working capital deficit of $2,440,289 at June 30, 2019.

 

Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $1,139,499 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $118,315 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $553 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to no net cash used in or provided by investing activities of continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

 

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through proceeds from equity and debt financings. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was $988,800, as compared to $174,454 during the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Our continued operations primarily depend upon our ability to raise additional capital from various sources including equity and debt financings, as well as our revenue derived from operations. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs or will be on favorable terms. Based on our current plans, we believe that our cash provided from the above sources may not be sufficient to enable us to meet our planned operating needs for the next twelve months.

 

In addition to revenue derived from operations, we believe that private placements of our common stock and convertible debt to be issued from time to time will fund our short-term capital needs. At March 31, 2020, we had 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock of which 13,486,040 shares were issued, 13,312,314 shares were outstanding, and 173,726 shares were to be issued.

 

The Company expects to continue generating revenues during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019 from its artificial intelligence and machine learning software platforms. The Company does not expect to derive any material revenue from its nanotechnology product development until after a deployment and custom tailoring of its Smart Nanobattery.

 

We have based our estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than we currently anticipate. Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of our securities, debt or other sources. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to our long-term capital requirements. We do not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when we need it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to obtain financing when needed, we may be unable to carry out our business plan. As a result, we may have to significantly limit our operations and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

and Stockholders of mPhase Technologies, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a history of net losses, has negative working capital at June 30, 2019, has incurred recurring negative cash flow from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (“mPhase” or the “Company”) was initially incorporated in New Jersey in 1979 under the name Tecma Laboratory, Inc. In 1987, the Company changed its name to Tecma Laboratories, Inc. As Tecma Laboratories, Inc., the Company was primarily engaged in the research, development and exploration of products in the skin care field. On February 17, 1997, the Company acquired Lightpaths, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was engaged in the development of telecommunications products incorporating DSL technology, and the Company changed its name to Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc.

 

On May 5, 1997, the Company completed a reverse merger with Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc. and thereafter changed its name to mPhase Technologies, Inc. on June 2, 1997.

 

mPhase, a New Jersey corporation is a publicly-held company with 11,689,078 shares of common stock outstanding and 461,553 shares of common stock to be issued at June 30, 2019. The Company’s common stock is traded on the OTC Pink Quotation System under the ticker symbol XDSL.

 

The Company from inception through June 30, 2010 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 nano-technology. The Company discontinued its TV+ line of products as of June 30, 2010 as well as its electronic sensor products.

 

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. This technology is a significant technology and business of the Company today. Presently the Company is pursuing strategic alternatives to best monetize its patent portfolio, including partnering to exploit its opportunities for its drug delivery system. The Company is seeking to engage a grant and project proposal consultant to obtain government funding available under the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security including The Department of Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (“DOTC”), Small Business Innovative Research (“SBIR”), Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (“CRADA”) and similar programs for targeted applications for its smart nano-battery applications.

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS (continued)

 

On January 11, 2019, the Company underwent a major change in management and control. The new management of the Company is positioning the Company to be a technology leader in artificial intelligence and machine learning while enabling a more rapid commercial development of its patent portfolio and other intellectual property. Artificial Intelligence is just simple math executed on an enormous scale. The more instances and calculations a system can process, the more possible it is for that system to emulate human-like cognitive abilities. With the advent of cloud infrastructure, GPU-accelerated processing and deep learning architectures, it is now commercially viable to perform this math at such speeds and efficiency that Artificial Intelligence (human-like cognitive abilities) can be embedded directly into business operations, platform architectures, business services and customer experiences. The Company’s goal is to generate significant revenue from its artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.

 

mPower Technologies, Inc. is a New Jersey corporation and is a wholly-owned consumer products subsidiary of mPhase Technologies, Inc. This subsidiary had its last significant sale of Jump products during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and this product line is reflected as discontinued operations within these consolidated financial statements. Medds, Inc., is a Wyoming corporation and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of mPhase Technologies, Inc. Medds, Inc., was formed to capitalize on opportunities for the Company’s drug delivery system.

 

The Company is presently headquartered 9841 Washingtonian Blvd., Suite 390, Gaithersburg, MD 20878.

 

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company has incurred a net loss of $1,955,161 and has incurred negative cash flows from operations of $203,970 for the year ended June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,440,289, and an accumulated deficit of $213,633,853. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing, without additional debt or equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company was able to enter into convertible debt arrangements and private placements of equity with accredited independent investors to provide liquidity and capital resources during the preceding two fiscal years. In addition, and from time to time during fiscal years 2019 and 2018, the Company raised necessary working capital through bridge loans from officers. During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company received net proceeds from private placements with accredited investors of $193,000 and $81,000, respectively.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN (continued)

 

In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months and to fund the growth of our nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt. Although the Company intends to obtain additional financing to meet its cash needs, the Company may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to it, if at all.

 

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, include the operations of mPhase and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, mPower Technologies, Inc., Medds, Inc., mPhase Technologies India Private Limited effective March 19, 2019, and Alpha Predictions LLP effective June 30, 2019. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The functional currency of our operations in India is the Indian Rupee. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The aggregate effect of foreign currency translation is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in our consolidated balance sheets. Our net investment in our Indian operations is recorded at the historical rate and the resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in our consolidated balance sheets. From the effective date of our India subsidiaries, mPhase Technologies India Private Limited and Alpha Predictions LLP, through June 30, 2019, foreign currency translation gains were not significant and did not have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, accrued expenses, valuation of derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation, and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with three financial institutions. Deposits held with the financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on such deposits, but may be redeemed upon demand. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company monitors the credit quality of its customers as well as maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments.

 

Revenue Risk

 

Agreements which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of revenue risk consist principally of one customer agreement. For the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, this one customer accounted for 100% and 0% of our total revenue, respectively. At June 30, 2019 and 2018, this one customer accounted for 99% and 0% of our total accounts receivable, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 or 2018.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events, and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations. The Company has determined no allowance for doubtful accounts is required at June 30, 2019 or 2018.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Property and Equipment

 

All expenditures on the acquisition for property and equipment are recorded at cost and capitalized as incurred, provided the asset benefits the Company for a period of more than one year. Expenditures on routine repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are charged directly to operating expense. The property and equipment is depreciated based upon its estimated useful life after being placed in service, which is 3 to 5 years. When equipment is retired, sold or impaired, the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings. The Company incurred depreciation expense of $0 and $683 for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, the Company periodically reviews its long- lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. For the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not impair any long-lived assets.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company tests goodwill for impairment by first comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. On June 30, 2020, we will perform our annual evaluation of goodwill impairment to determine if the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value.

 

Patents and licenses are capitalized when the Company 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. As of June 30, 2019, and 2018, the book value of patents and licenses of $214,383, has been fully amortized and no amortization expense was recorded for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software.” ASC 350-40 provides guidance for determining whether computer software is internal-use software, and on accounting for the proceeds of computer software originally developed or obtained for internal use and then subsequently sold to the public. It also provides guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company expenses all costs incurred during the preliminary project stage of its development, and capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage. Costs incurred relating to upgrades and enhancements to the software are capitalized if it is determined that these upgrades or enhancements add additional functionality to the software. Costs incurred to improve and support products after they become available are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, currently three years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

 

As of June 30, 2019, the book value of purchased and developed technology of $3,025,801, included two technology platforms, a machine learning platform and an artificial intelligence platform. For the year ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there was no amortization of either purchased technology platforms.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the 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.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to related parties, and current and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of short and long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value with the exception of the fair value of due to related parties as the fair value cannot be determined due to a lack of similar instruments available to the Company. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is derived from the sale of artificial intelligence and machine learning focused technology products. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives the Company offers to its customers and their customers. In the event any discounts, sales incentives, or similar arrangements are agreed to with a customer, such amounts are estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue (see Note 7).

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company computes share based payments in accordance with ASC 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, Share-Based Payment No. 107 (“SAB 107”). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as well as related interpretations of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740. At June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

 

ASC 740 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company’s tax returns for its June 30, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016 tax years may be selected for examination by the taxing authorities as the statute of limitations remains open.

 

The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce EPS or increase loss per share, are included. The effect of contingently issuable shares are not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported. Therefore, basic and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted average shares for the year ended June 30, 2019, as we incurred a net loss for this period. At June 30, 2019, there were outstanding warrants to purchase up to 4,985,394 shares of the Company’s common stock, and notes payable held by a third party and former officer with convertible features that if converted, would total 232,750 shares of the Company’s common stock, which may dilute future EPS. At June 30, 2018, the Company had notes payable held by third parties and notes, unpaid wages, and fees due to officers and directors, with convertible features that if converted, would total 5,524,765 shares of the Company’s common stock, which may dilute future EPS.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in US GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company expects the impact to net income of the new standard will be immaterial on an ongoing quarterly and annual basis. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding the Company’s adoption of ASC 606.

 

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which provides clarification on classifying a variety of activities within the statement of cash flows. The Company determined the adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses. The Company determined the adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company determined the adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842, which amends certain aspects of the new lease standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2017-13 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Update to Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, however, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part II of this update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The ASU makes limited changes to the guidance on classifying certain financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The ASU is intended to improve (1) the accounting for instruments with “down-round” provisions and (2) the readability of the guidance in ASC 480 on distinguishing liabilities from equity by replacing the indefinite deferral of certain pending content with scope exceptions. The standard is effective for the Company as of July 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5: BUSINESS ACQUISITION (continued)

 

The Company is currently evaluating the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary estimates and measurements are, therefore, subject to change during the measurement period. The acquired intangible asset – developed software was recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. It is provisionally subject to a useful life of 3 years, pending further evaluation of the underlying software.

 

The fair value of the one-percent noncontrolling interest in Alpha Predictions was determined to be immaterial, based on extrapolation of the price paid by the Company for its controlling interest and consideration of any potential control premiums.

 

Acquisition-related costs expensed by the Company were immaterial for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

The revenue and net loss of the combined entity had the acquisition date been July 1, 2017, are as follows:

NOTE 11: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operation as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019, as there was no derivative liability at June 30, 2017:

Total derivative liability at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 amounted to $133,669 and $0, respectively. The change in fair value included in earnings of $30,508 is due in part to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock decreasing from $1.00 at June 30, 2018 to $0.85 at June 30, 2019, coupled with substantially reduced conversion prices due to the effect of “ratchet” provisions incorporated within the convertible notes payable.

Common Stock Warrants

 

Warrant Agreement – Earned Warrants

 

Mr. Bhatnagar, the Company’s President and CEO, is entitled to receive warrants to acquire 4% of the outstanding fully diluted common stock of the Company (the “Earned Warrants”) each time the Company’s revenue increases by $1,000,000. The exercise price of the Earned Warrants is equal to $0.50 per share and he may not receive shares whereby Signing Shares and Earned Warrants exceed 80% of the fully diluted common stock of the Company (“Warrant Cap”).

 

Warrant Agreement – Accelerated Warrants

 

Mr. Bhatnagar, the Company’s President and CEO, shall immediately receive the remaining amount of warrants necessary to acquire up to 80% of the outstanding fully diluted common stock of the Company (“Accelerated Warrants”) when either of the following occur:

 

a) the Company completes a stock or asset purchase of Scepter Commodities, LLC; or
   
b) the Company completes a stock or asset purchase of any other entity, either of which, in the aggregate, together with prior revenue increases achieved by the Company, results in the consolidated revenues of the Company being not less than $15,000,000; or
   
c) the Company grows a similar business organically within mPhase to include contracts generating revenues in excess of $15,000,000; or
   
d) the Company meets the listing requirements of either the NYSE or NASDAQ

 

As of the year ended June 30, 2019, as the Company’s revenue achieved $2,500,000, Mr. Bhatnagar earned warrants to acquire 4,985,394 shares of the Company’s common stock under the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. At June 30, 2019, there remains approximately 32,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that Mr. Bhatnagar can earn. 

 

For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $2,492,697 of stock-based compensation expense related to the earned warrants. At June 30, 2019, there remains approximately $16,200,000 of stock-based compensation expense that the Company expects to recognize over the next six months.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a black-scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Because black-scholes option valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following assumptions were utilized during 2019:

 

Expected volatility     21,779.77 %
Weighted-average volatility     21,779.77 %
Expected dividends     0 %
Expected term (in years)     5.0  
Risk-free rate     2.52 %

NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes taking into account deferred tax assets and liabilities which represent the future tax consequences of the differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities versus the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under this method, deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The impact of tax rate changes on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year the change is enacted. Due to recurring losses, the Company’s tax provision for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $0.

    $ -     $ -  

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences will become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because it is not currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased. The valuation allowance decreased by $1,515,310 and $14,977,935 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as a result of a reduction in the total NOL carry forwards due to expiring loss years.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization and Nature of Business

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are collectively referred to herein as “mPhase,” “XDSL”, “Company,” “us,” or “we.”

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of New Jersey in 1979 under the name Tecma Laboratory, Inc. and has subsequently operated under Tecma Laboratories, Inc., and Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc., until June 2, 1997 when the Company changed its name to mPhase Technologies, Inc.

 

On January 11, 2019, the Company underwent a major change in management and control. The new management of the Company is positioning the Company to be a technology leader in artificial intelligence and machine learning while enabling a more rapid commercial development of its patent portfolio and other intellectual property. The Company’s goal is to generate significant revenue from its artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.

 

On February 15, 2019, the Company acquired Travel Buddhi, a software platform to enhance travel via ultra-customization tools that tailor a planned trip experience in ways not previously available.

 

On June 30, 2019, the Company acquired 99% of the outstanding common shares of Alpha Predictions LLP (“Alpha Predictions”). Alpha Predictions is an India-based technology company that has developed a suite of commercial data analysis products for use across multiple industries. The Company expects the acquisition to result in synergies with its other operating divisions, which will drive revenue growth and innovation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

The consolidated unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 include the operations of mPhase and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, mPower Technologies, Inc., Medds, Inc., mPhase Technologies India Private Limited effective March 19, 2019, and Alpha Predictions LLP effective June 30, 2019. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

These consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 15, 2019. The results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.

 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, surfaced during December 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. During March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and is likely to continue to result in, significant economic disruption. Although these disruptions are expected to be temporary, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the Company cannot predict the scope or duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, any anticipated negative financial impact to its results of operations cannot be reasonably estimated but could ultimately be material and last for an extended period of time.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations of $1,139,499 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital surplus of $450,622, and an accumulated deficit of $228,481,988. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this report, without additional debt or equity financing. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months from the date of this report and to fund the growth of the nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt. Although the Company intends to obtain additional financing to meet its cash needs, the Company may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to it, if at all.

 

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to enhance comparability with the current year’s consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, presentation of certain items within the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The functional currency of our operations in India is the Indian Rupee. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), as other comprehensive income (loss). There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of Indian Rupee to U.S. dollars after the balance sheet date.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of intangible assets, accrued expenses, valuation of derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation, and the valuation reserve for income taxes.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with three financial institutions. Deposits held with the financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on such deposits, but may be redeemed upon demand. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company monitors the credit quality of its customers as well as maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments.

 

Revenue Risk

 

Agreements which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of revenue risk consist principally of one customer agreement. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, this one customer accounted for 100% and 0% of our total revenue, respectively. At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, this one customer accounted for 100% and 99% of our total accounts receivable, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations. At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company determined there was no requirement for an allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company tests goodwill for impairment by first comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. On June 30, 2020, we will perform our annual evaluation of goodwill impairment to determine if the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value.

 

Patents and licenses are capitalized when the Company 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. As of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the book value of patents and licenses of $214,383, has been fully amortized and no amortization expense was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software.” ASC 350-40 provides guidance for determining whether computer software is internal-use software, and on accounting for the proceeds of computer software originally developed or obtained for internal use and then subsequently sold to the public. It also provides guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company expenses all costs incurred during the preliminary project stage of its development, and capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage. Costs incurred relating to upgrades and enhancements to the software are capitalized if it is determined that these upgrades or enhancements add additional functionality to the software. Costs incurred to improve and support products after they become available are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, currently three years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

 

At March 31, 2020, the book value of purchased and developed technology of $2,817,396, included two technology platforms, a machine learning platform and an artificial intelligence platform. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, amortization expense which is included in general and administration expenses within the consolidated statements of operations, was $700,387 and $0, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the 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.

 

ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, due from affiliates, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to related parties, and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of short and long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is derived from the sale of artificial intelligence and machine learning focused technology products. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives the Company offers to its customers and their customers. In the event any discounts, sales incentives, or similar arrangements are agreed to with a customer, such amounts are estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue (see Note 6).

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company computes share based payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grants. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as well as related interpretations of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year-to-year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company’s tax returns for its June 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017 tax years may be selected for examination by the taxing authorities as the statute of limitations remains open.

 

The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices for the tax years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis.

 

In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce EPS or increase loss per share, are included. The effect of contingently issuable shares are not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported. Therefore, basic and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted average shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as we incurred a net loss for those periods. At March 31, 2020, as we incurred net income for the period, dilutive shares included 37,390,452 shares of the Company’s common stock related to warrants and 2,772,684 shares of the Company’s common stock related to convertible promissory notes, assuming exercise of such warrants and conversion of such convertible promissory notes occurred at January 1, 2020, as the exercise price of the warrants and conversion price of the convertible promissory notes were less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, for dilutive EPS purposes for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the assumed conversion of such convertible promissory notes at January 1, 2020, reduced the net income amount used in the dilutive EPS computation by $280,822 as a result of the net impact of interest that would not have been incurred during the period as well as original issue discounts, deferred financing costs, debt discounts, and derivative liability balances that would not have been required at March 31, 2020.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842, which amends certain aspects of the new lease standard. The Company determined the adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2017-11, Update to Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The ASU makes limited changes to the guidance on classifying certain financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The ASU is intended to improve (1) the accounting for instruments with “down-round” provisions and (2) the readability of the guidance in ASC 480 on distinguishing liabilities from equity by replacing the indefinite deferral of certain pending content with scope exceptions. The Company determined the adoption of ASU 2017-11 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concept Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The standard is effective for the Company as of July 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4: BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

On June 30, 2019, the Company acquired 99% of the outstanding common shares of Alpha Predictions LLP (“Alpha Predictions”). Alpha Predictions is an India-based technology company that has developed a suite of commercial data analysis products for use across multiple industries. The Company expects the acquisition to result in synergies with its other operating divisions, which will drive revenue growth and innovation.

 

The goodwill of $6,020 arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies expected from combining the operations of the Company and Alpha Predictions.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Alpha Predictions and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date.

 

Consideration      
Cash   $ 1,438  
Fair value of total consideration transferred     1,438  
         
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed        
Cash     3,127

Income tax provision, current     (7,713 )
Total identifiable net assets     (4,582 )
Goodwill   $ 6,020  

 

The Company is currently evaluating the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary estimates and measurements are, therefore, subject to change during the measurement period. The acquired intangible asset – purchased software was recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. It is provisionally subject to a useful life of 3 years, pending further evaluation of the underlying software.

 

The fair value of the one-percent noncontrolling interest in Alpha Predictions was determined to be immaterial, based on extrapolation of the price paid by the Company for its controlling interest and consideration of any potential control premiums.

NOTE 6: REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

 

The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by category within our single reporting segment:

 

    For the Three Months Ended     For the Nine Months Ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2020     2019     2020     2019  
Subscription   $ 6,180,000     $ -     $ 18,540,000     $ -  
Service and support     881,606       -       2,626,674       -  
Application development and implementation     494,901       -       1,521,412       -  
Revenue   $ 7,556,507     $ -     $ 22,688,086     $ -  

  

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company was subject to revenue concentration risk as one customer accounted for 100% of our total revenue for both periods.

 

Subscription and Application Development and Implementation Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, it satisfies a performance obligation to a customer. The Company primarily has one performance obligation, which includes the combined promise to develop, implement, and license customized software. Payment terms for the software include one-time application development and implementation fees, which are generally billed on a time-and-materials basis over the development and implementation period, plus fixed license subscription fees, which may either be billed in full upfront or in monthly installments over the license period, which is generally three years. All of these fees are allocated to the single performance obligation of providing software to the customer.

 

The performance obligation is fully satisfied at the point in time when the customer has taken control of the completed software, which is when physical possession of the software has transferred to the customer, the customer is able to use and benefit from the software, and the contractual license period has begun. Since the Company has no further obligation to the customer once control of the software has transferred, the Company recognizes revenue in full for all of the development and implementation fees at that point in time. Subscription fees are also recognized when control of the software has transferred to the customer but only to the extent such fees are contractually guaranteed to the Company. Any future monthly subscription fees that the Company would not have a contractually guaranteed right to collect in the event of early termination of the contract are instead recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the license period.

 

Service and Support Revenue

 

Certain contracts also contain a second performance obligation for service and support. This performance obligation includes the promise to provide future updates, upgrades, and enhancements to the software over the license period, if and when they occur. Service and support fees are fixed as a percentage of total contract value and billed in monthly installments over the license period. The Company recognizes service and support fee revenue over time, on a straight-line basis over the license period, as the customer receives such services on a generally uniform basis throughout the license period.

 

Allocation of the Transaction Price

 

Prices allocated to each performance obligation generally correspond with the contractually stated prices, since they equal standalone selling price. In some cases, services may be discounted, which requires the company to allocate the transaction price based on relative standalone selling price. The Company estimates standalone selling price based on comparable industry practices and the costs and margins involved in providing services to its customers.

 

Contract Liabilities

 

Contract liabilities include amounts billed to the customer in excess of revenue recognized and are presented as contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 contract liabilities totaled $170,449 and $0, respectively.

 

Practical Expedient

 

The Company has elected a practical expedient to omit certain disclosures about the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with terms of one year or less.

 

NOTE 7: LIABILITIES IN ARREARS – JUDGEMENT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

 

Liabilities in arrears – judgement settlement agreement is comprised of the following:

 

    March 31,     June 30,  
    2020     2019  
Note payable, John Fife (dba St. George Investors) / Fife Forbearance [1]   $ 762,921     $ 855,660  
Total liabilities in arrears – judgement settlement agreement   $ 762,921     $ 855,660  

 

[1] effective December 10, 2018, the Company entered into a “Judgment Settlement Agreement” to satisfy in full the Forbearance Agreement with Fife that was previously in effect. As a result, under the Judgment Settlement Agreement, no shares of the Company’s common stock are issuable or eligible to be converted into. Under the terms of the Judgment Settlement Agreement, the Company was required to pay $15,000 per month from January 15, 2019 through and including February 15, 2020, with a final payment of $195,000 due and payable in March of 2020. The Company made all required payments with the exception of the final payment of $195,000 which was due and payable in March of 2020. The Company and Fife are negotiating a structure whereby the Company will be able to make the final payment of $195,000, which may include additional consideration depending on the timing of when the final payment is made. The Company expects to repay Fife the agreed upon balance due as quickly as possible based upon its available capital. The ultimate final payment amount is expected to be less than the liability balance of $762,921 presented as liabilities in arrears – judgement settlement agreement on the consolidated balance sheets.

At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, there was $894,200 and $78,000 of convertible notes payable outstanding, net of discounts of $640,488 and $75,649, respectively.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, amortization of original issue discount, deferred financing costs, and debt discount amounted to $453,361 and $7,976, respectively.

NOTE 9: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operation as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) from June 30, 2018 to March 31, 2020:

NOTE 9: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (continued)

 

Total derivative liability at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 amounted to $343,193 and $133,669, respectively. The change in fair value included in earnings of $976,049 is due in part to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock decreasing from $0.85 at June 30, 2019 to $0.55 at March 31, 2020, coupled with decreased conversion prices due to the effect of “ratchet” provisions incorporated within the convertible notes payable.

 

The Company used the following assumptions for determining the fair value of the convertible instruments granted under the binomial pricing model with binomial simulations at March 31, 2020:

 

Expected volatility     141.9% - 233.2 %
Expected term     5.8 months – 11.1 months  
Risk-free interest rate     0.15% - 0.17 %
Stock price   $0.55

Warrant Agreement – Earned Warrants

 

Mr. Bhatnagar, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is entitled to receive warrants to acquire 4% of the outstanding fully diluted common stock of the Company (the “Earned Warrants”) each time the Company’s revenue increases by $1,000,000. The exercise price of the Earned Warrants is equal to $0.50 per share, and he may not receive Earned Warrants to the extent that the number of Signing Shares (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) and Earned Warrants exceed 80% of the fully diluted common stock of the Company (“Warrant Cap”).

 

Warrant Agreement – Accelerated Warrants

 

Mr. Bhatnagar, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, shall immediately receive the remaining amount of warrants necessary to acquire up to 80% of the outstanding fully diluted common stock of the Company (“Accelerated Warrants”) when either of the following occur:

 

  a) the Company completes a stock or asset purchase of Scepter Commodities, LLC; or

NOTE 10: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $16,202,529 of stock-based compensation expense related to the earned warrants, based upon a value of $0.50 per warrant. At March 31, 2020, there remains no additional stock-based compensation expense related to the Warrant Agreement that the Company expects to recognize over the next three months.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a black-scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Because black-scholes option valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following assumptions were utilized during the nine months ended March 31, 2020:

 

Expected volatility     21,779.77 %
Weighted-average volatility     21,779.77 %
Expected dividends     0 %
Expected term (in years)     5.0  
Risk-free rate     2.52 %

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.

(a) Exhibits

 

The exhibit index attached hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

 

(b) Financial Statement Schedule

 

All schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth in the schedules is either not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

 

UNDERTAKINGS

 

(a) 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:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in 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

 

(iii) 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.

 

(1) 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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
(2) 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 the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

  (i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§230.430B of this chapter):

 

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (§230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 effective date, 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 effective date; or

 

-46-

 

 

(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), 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 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), 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.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the 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:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);

 

(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.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
(c) 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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.
