Business of the Company

 

General Description of the Business

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (“mPhase” or the “Company”) is a publicly-held New Jersey corporation which was organized on October 2, 1996. The Company has over 23,000 shareholders and 11,689,078 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2019. The Company’s common stock is traded on the Pink Sheets under the ticker symbol XDSL. The Company is headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Company employs three full-time employees, two of which are officers of the Company and two part-time consultants who provide legal services and accounting services. Subsidiary companies in India employ a total of 40 software engineers and data analysis experts.

 

As of January 11, 2019, the Company underwent a major change in management and control. The Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Anshu Bhatnagar to become the new President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company. Mr. Bhatnagar is also the President and CEO of Verus International, Inc. (ticker symbol “VRUS”) a publicly-held company. Mr. Bhatnagar replaced Mr. Ronald Durando who resigned as CEO. Mr. Durando remained a Director of the Company until his resignation from such position effective March 20, 2019. Effective January 11, 2019 all of the other prior Officers and Directors of the Company resigned their respective positions. On January 28, 2019, Mr. Smiley, the former CFO of the Company, was reappointed as interim CFO and on June 6, 2019, Mr. Smiley resigned as CFO of the Company and was replaced by Christopher Cutchens.

The new management of the Company is positioning the Company to become a leader in software relating to artificial intelligence and machine learning to enable 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 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 goal is to generate a faster growth of revenues for the Company.

 

The Transition Agreement and Reserve Agreement as amended, provide for our new management to evaluate, formulate and implement a revised plan of operation. The Company is implementing undertakings, initiated by outgoing management, to extinguish certain debts and settle or reduce other liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2018, no later than March 31, 2020.

 

On February 4, 2019, the Company announced the formation of mPhase Technologies India, Pvt, Ltd to focus on software and technology development for new and existing projects. On February 6, 2019, the Company announced that it has commenced discussions with a global pharmaceutical company to explore the use of mPhase’s “Smart Surface” technology for transdermal drug delivery. mPhase’s current technology uses electronic or other external stimulus to dispense an unattended, predetermined quantity of drug or medical agent through a smart surface membrane. On February 19, 2019, the Company announced that it will assemble a team in India of highly qualified software and technology experts in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning to work as part of its newly formed “Center of Excellence” India division.

 

On March 7, 2019, the Company announced the acquisition of Travel Buddhi, a software platform to enhance travel via ultra-customization tools that tailor a planned trip experience in ways not previously available. The Company is moving in a new strategic direction of modification and modernization of its existing technology to make it “smart” and “connected” as part of the internet of things.

 

On March 19, 2019, Mr. Durando loaned the Company approximately $5,200 for general working capital purposes, under the terms of previous agreements for officers’ loans. Separately Messrs. Durando and Bhatnagar each loaned the Company $25,000 on April 17, 2019 and April 24, 2019, respectively, providing an additional $50,000 for general working capital purposes, under the terms of new notes, which generally provide for 6% interest and short-term repayment.

 

On April 10, 2019, the Company filed a preliminary Schedule 14C information statement with the SEC in connection with a 5000/1 reverse split of its common stock that had been approved by our Board of Directors in March of 2019. The Company under New Jersey law is reducing its authorized shares of common stock to 25 million shares from the previously authorized 125,000,000,000 shares.

 

On April 10, 2010 the Company repaid $3,000 that was accepted as payment, in full, of the convertible promissory note which had been held by M.H Investment Trust II.

 

On April 22, 2019 the Company filed a Definitive Schedule 14C information statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a 5000/1 reverse split of its common stock. The Company under New Jersey law is reducing its authorized shares of common stock to 25 million shares from the currently authorized 125,000,000,000 shares.

On April 22, 2019 we extended the obligations of the Company and the CEO to register shares of our Common Stock on a Registration Statement on Form S-1, which at a minimum include shares held by prior management and strategic vendors referred to as “Related Parties” as outlined in Section 1(d) of the Transition Agreement of January 11, 2019. The revised time to file a Registration Statement with the SEC was amended in order to include certain participants in an ongoing private placement of its stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Registration Statement was filed on July 19, 2019 and was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2019.

 

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, the Company completed and announced the closing of a Private Placement of shares of its common stock at $0.25 per share, raising gross proceeds of $193,000. The Private Placement was executed pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the proceeds will be used by the Company for working capital and corporate acquisitions.

 

Effective May 22, 2019 the Company completed a 5,000/1 reverse split of its Common stock reducing its authorized shares to 25 million shares of Common Stock.

RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Relating to the Company’s Complete Dependence upon the Development of New Products

 

Prior to the Company’s change in management on January 11, 2019, the Company has been forced to curtail development of all products and it is unknown whether the Company will be successful in acquiring and developing products in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning except its Smart NanoBattery in order to conserve financial resources

 

The Company has been forced to focus on commercialization of only one of its products. No assurance can be given that the Company will have sufficient resources to develop new products in the areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The Company’s lack of financial resources to simultaneously develop multiple products could increase its overall risk profile as a company.

 

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. Other material revenue was derived from our series of battery “Jump Starters” in the fiscal years ended 2014 and 2015; products that the Company discontinued beginning in April 2016 owing to contracting margins and increased competition,

 

We have limited manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sales capabilities which may limit our ability to generate revenues.

 

Due to the relatively early stage of our products, we have recent, but very limited, investments in software platform, marketing, distribution or product sales resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to invest or develop any of these resources successfully or as expediently as necessary. The inability to do so may inhibit or harm our ability to generate revenues or operate profitably.

 

8
 

 

We have a history of operating losses and we have never generated an operating profit in our history.

 

If we continue to suffer losses as we have in the past, investors may not receive any return on their investment and may lose their entire investment. Our prospects must be considered speculative in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies 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 anticipate we will operate. To attempt to address these risks, we must, among other things, further develop our technologies, products and services, successfully implement our research, development, marketing and commercialization strategies, respond to competitive developments and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. A substantial risk is involved in investing in us because, as a company we have fewer resources than an established company, our management may make mistakes with respect to development of new products, and we may be more vulnerable operationally and financially to any mistakes that may be made, as well as to external factors beyond our control.

 

We have limited resources to manage development activities.

 

Our limited resources in conducting and managing development activities might prevent us from successfully designing or implementing new products. If we do not succeed in conducting and managing our development activities, we might not be able to commercialize our product candidates, or might be significantly delayed in doing so, which will materially harm our business.

 

Our ability to generate revenues from 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 may, and anticipate that we will need to, transition from a company with a research and development focus to a company capable of supporting commercial activities and we may not succeed in such a transition.

 

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our product development and commercialization efforts, we are unable to predict the extent of our future losses or when or if we will become profitable.

 

Our failure to successfully commercialize our new products in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence as well as 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.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our product development and commercialization efforts, we are unable to predict the extent of our future losses or when or if we will become profitable.

 

Our failure to successfully commercialize our products to be developed in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as 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 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 commercially develop our technologies and proposed product lines, which, in turn, would significantly harm our ability to earn revenues and result in a loss of investment.

 

Our ability to commercially develop our technologies will be dictated in, large part, by forces outside our control which cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions. 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.

 

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.

 

10
 

 

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 research in the areas of micro fluid dynamics is being performed in countries outside of the United States, and a number of potential competitors are located in these countries. The laws protecting intellectual property in some of those countries may not provide adequate protection to prevent our competitors from misappropriating our intellectual property. Several of these potential competitors may be further along in the process of product development and also operate large, company-funded research and development programs. As a result, our competitors may develop more competitive or affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization than we are able to achieve. Competitive products may render any products or product candidates that we develop obsolete.

 

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 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 is 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 in the marketplace.

 

The degree of market acceptance of those products will depend on many factors, including:

 

  Our ability to manufacture or obtain from third party manufacturers sufficient quantities of our product candidates with acceptable quality and at an acceptable cost to meet demand, and
     
  Marketing and distribution support for our products.

 

We cannot predict or guarantee that either military or commercial entities, in general, will accept or utilize any of our product candidates. Failure to achieve market acceptance would limit our ability to generate revenue and would have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, if any of our product candidates achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to maintain that market acceptance over time if competing products or technologies are introduced that are received more favorably or are more cost-effective.

 

Risks Related to Third Party Reliance

 

We depend on third parties to assist us in the development of new products extensively, and any failure of those parties to fulfill their obligations could result in costs and delays and prevent us from successfully commercializing our product candidates on a timely basis, if at all.

 

We engage consultants and contract research organizations to help design, 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.

 

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 Our prior failure to be timely in our required periodic filings of quarterly and annual financial reports with the SEC may significantly limit our ability to raise additional capital. 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 Earn Out Agreement with the new CEO of the Company

 

At June 30, 2019, the Company estimated by application of a Black Scholes option pricing model that $18,695,227 of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense, which the Company expects to recognize, based on a weighted-average period of 2 years and 5 ½ months. The Company will record the compensation expense over the estimated requisite service term or vesting period to earn the conditions of the warrant. There are an estimated 37,390,000 total shares issuable under the warrant that are attainable under the agreement as of June 30, 2019. Such issuance will cause periodic dilution of the Company’s stock during the course of the Earn-Out period and reductions to book income with respect to the first $15 million in revenues realized by the Company.

 

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 y depletion of our working capital.

 

At June 30, 2019 the amount recorded in Current Liabilities for convertible note plus accrued interest thereon previously issued to JMJ Financial was $109,000 and $84,287, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate remaining amount of convertible securities held by JMJ could be converted into 9,664 common shares at the conversion price of $20.

 

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.

 

On December 10, 2018 this agreement was modified to eliminate the conversion feature of the underlying security. Monthly payments of $15,000 are due and payable on the 15th day of each month through February 15, 2020 with a final payment of $195,000 due and payable on March 15, 2020. Failure to pay such amounts would enable Fife to immediately enforce the remaining about of the debt owed by the Company.

 

Under the Judgement Settlement Agreement $855,660 is included in the line item “Current portion, liabilities in arears - judgement settlement agreement” in the current liabilities section of the Company’s Balance Sheet at June 30, 2019.

 

Should the Company satisfy this liability under the Judgement Settlement Agreement we would realize a gain on such settlement of approximately $580,000.

 

The Company recorded $60,296 of finance charges for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, $58,142 of finance charges remained outstanding under this note.

 

On June 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of June 19, 2019 with Power Up Lending Group, (“Lender”).The Company issued an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $78,000 to the Lender with a maturity date of June 19, 2020. The Company received net proceeds in the amount of $45,800, with $25,000 refinancing a prior promissory note due to the Lender that had been in default, $3,000 being paid to reimburse the Lender for legal and due diligence fees incurred with respect to this Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note, and $4,200 being paid to the Company’s Transfer Agent to satisfy an outstanding balance. This note becomes due in full, together with accrued interest in June 2020 for approximately $85,000. Should we fail to make such payments, the lender can demand shares of our stock to satisfy this obligation at a 38% discount to its then market value, resulting in dilution to satisfy this obligation.

 

On July 30, 2019, the Company entered into a second Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of July 30, 2019 with Power Up Lending Group, (“Lender”) and issued an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $53,000 to the Lender with a maturity date of July 30, 2020. The Company received net proceeds in the amount of $50,000 as a result of $3,000 being paid to reimburse Lender for legal and due diligence fees incurred with respect to this Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note. This note becomes due in full, together with accrued interest in July 2020 for approximately $58,000. Should we fail to make such payments, the lender can demand shares of our stock to satisfy this obligation at a 38% discount to its then market value, resulting in dilution to satisfy this obligation.

 

On September 5, 2019, the Company entered into a third Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of September 5, 2019 with Power Up Lending Group, (“Lender”) and issued an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $53,000 to the Lender with a maturity date of September 5, 2020. On September 9, 2019, the Company received net proceeds in the amount of $46,800 as a result of $3,000 being paid to reimburse Lender for legal and due diligence fees incurred with respect to this Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note and $3,200 being paid to the Company’s Transfer Agent to satisfy an outstanding balance. This note becomes due in full, together with accrued interest in September 2020 for approximately $58,000. Should we fail to make such payments, the lender can demand shares of our stock to satisfy this obligation at a 38% discount to its then market value, resulting in dilution to satisfy this obligation.

 

On September 24, 2019, the Company entered into another Securities Purchase Agreement with accredited investors and issued 8% Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $124,200 (including an aggregate of $9,200 in original issuance discounts) (the “Notes”) to the accredited investors with maturity dates of September 24, 2020. On September 27, 2019, the Company received net proceeds in the amount of $112,000 as a result of $3,000 being paid to reimburse the accredited investors for legal and due diligence fees incurred with respect to this Securities Purchase Agreement and Notes. The Notes become due in full, together with accrued interest in September 2020 for approximately $135,000. Should we fail to make such payments, the accredited investors can demand shares of our stock to satisfy this obligation at a 38% discount to its then market value, resulting in dilution to satisfy this obligation.

 

mPhase’s stock price has suffered significant declines during the past ten years and remains volatile.

 

The market price of our common stock closed at $7.88 on July 26, 2000 and, despite a significant reverse-split of 5000/1 effective May 22, 2019 is currently at $0.875 as of October 30, 2019. Stocks in microcap companies having stock values below $5.00 per share generally have much more volatility than higher priced stocks. 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. Finally, the OTC markets group has designated our stock a “shell risk” which causes brokerage firms and their clearing agents to not accept newly issued shares of our common stock for deposit in street name and allow the holder to sell such 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:

 

(1) the price, volatility and trading volume of our common stock;
   
(2) future financial results including sales and revenues generated from operations;
   
(3) the market’s view of the business sector of nanotechnology reserve batteries and emergency flashlights; and
   
(4) 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 in

 

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 $213,633,853 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 not less than $5 million in additional cash in the next 12 months through further equity private placements to continue operations and implement the acquisition plans of the Company’s new management including the completion of the acquisitions of AIRobitca and Travel Buddha as well as potentially complete a merger with Scepter Commodities LLC. As of June 30, 2019, we have working capital deficit of approximately $2,440,289 and a stockholders’ equity of $605,638.

 

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

 

The reports of the Company’s outside auditors 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, 2018, 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 June 30, 2019.

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.

 

Microfluid dynamics and the manipulation of materials of nano size and dimensions is a very new science and the creation of new products is dependent upon new and different properties of such materials created that will result in many uncertain applications and rapid change. The evolution of nanotechnology as a new science adds greater uncertainty to new applications and new and improved product introductions is unpredictable. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are even newer sciences and are subject to many uncertain future developments.

 

We may not be able to create new products from our intellectual property using microfluidics that will be acceptable in water purification, oil separation from water and other environment markets.

 

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

 

Large companies such as 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 quantities. Success in new technology, products and services is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, highly-skilled engineering and development personnel, and the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We may not be able to identify, develop, market or support new or enhanced technology, products, or services on a timely basis, if at all, owing to our size and limited financial resources.

 

The commercialization of many applications of our technologies will depend on our ability to establish strategic relationships with commercial partners.

 

We are seeking commercial partners with established lines of business and greater financial resources than our own. Such partners may not place the priority that we do on joint projects because the success or failure of such projects is not as material to other existing well- developed lines of business.

 

Our Smart NanoBattery and our potential applications of our technology are components of end products and therefore our products are tied to the success of such end products.

 

The compelling need for critical mission batteries and other applications of our nanotechnology will depend upon both military and commercial needs going forward and the demand for our products as components. Thus, the success of our Smart NanoBattery and other applications 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.

Our future success will depend upon our ability to achieve compelling technology innovations that are economic and practical to produce in large quantities. Success in new technology, products and services is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, highly-skilled engineering and development personnel, and the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We may not be able to identify, develop, market or support new or enhanced technology, products, or services on a timely basis, if at all, owing to our size and limited financial resources.

 

General Risks Relating to Our Business

 

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.

 

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.

 

17
 

 

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

 

Considerable research in the areas of micro fluid dynamics is being performed in countries outside of the United States, and a number of potential competitors are located in these countries. The laws protecting intellectual property in some of those countries may not provide adequate protection to prevent our competitors from misappropriating our intellectual property. Several of these potential competitors may be further along in the process of product development and also operate large, company-funded research and development programs. As a result, our competitors may develop more competitive or affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization than we are able to achieve. Competitive products may render any products or product candidates that we develop obsolete.

 

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.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

mPhase, a New Jersey corporation founded in 1996, is a publicly-held company with over 23,000 shareholders and 11,689,078 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2019. The Company’s Common Stock is traded on the pink sheets under the ticker symbol XDSL. We are headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

 

As of January 11, 2019, the Company has undergone a change of control and management Mr. Anshu Bhatnagar become the new President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company replacing Mr. Ronald Durando who resigned from such position. In addition, all of the former Officers and Directors of the Company have each resigned their positions. On January 28, 2019 Mr. Smiley, the former CFO of the Company, was reappointed as CFO. On June 6, 2019 Mr. Smiley resigned as CFO of the Company and Mr. Christopher Cutchens was appointed as CFO.

 

As a result of the change in management the Company is commencing entry into the sciences of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The new management of the Company believes that this will accelerate the completion and deployment of revenue generating products from the Company’s existing patent portfolio by modifying and updating such products.

 

Prior to January 11, 2019, mPhase was a company specializing only in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. mPhase is commercializing its first nanotechnology-enabled product for military and commercial applications - The Smart NanoBattery providing Power on Command™. The new patented and patent pending battery technology, based on the phenomenon of electrowetting, offers a unique way to store energy and manage power. Features of the Smart NanoBattery include potentially infinite shelf life, environmentally friendly design, fast ramp to power, programmable control, and direct integration with microelectronic devices.

 

The platform technology behind the Smart NanoBattery is a porous nanostructured material used to repel and precisely control the flow of liquids. The material has a Smart Surface that can potentially be designed for self-cleaning applications, water purification/desalination, liquid filtration/separation, and environmental cleanup. mPhase has completed a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) grant, part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, from the U.S. Army for continued development of a reserve Smart NanoBattery for a critical computer memory application.

 

Since our inception in 1996, we have been a development-stage company and operating activities have related primarily to research and development, establishing third-party manufacturing relationships and developing product brand recognition. In December 2007 the Company ceased further activities with respect to its prior telecommunications equipment products which have been treated as a Discontinued Business effective June 30, 2010. Since January 2008, the Company has focused primarily upon development of our smart reserve battery, and other battery and illuminator products as well as establishing a patent portfolio of intellectual property for “smart surfaces” in the field of nanotechnology.

 

Description of Operations

 

Microfluidics, MEMS, and Nanotechnology

 

In February 2004, mPhase entered the business of developing new products based on materials whose properties and behavior are controlled at the micrometer and nanometer scales. (For reference, a micrometer or micron is equal one millionth (10 -6) of a meter and a nanometer is one billionth (10 -9) of a meter – the scale of atoms and molecules. A human hair is approximately 50 microns in diameter, or 50,000 nanometers thick.) The Company has expertise and capabilities in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and nanotechnology. Microfluidics refers to the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small, typically micrometer scale. MEMS is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology. Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter (atoms and molecules) on the nanometer length scale (1-100 nanometers), and exploitation of novel phenomena and properties (physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical) at that length scale. In its Smart NanoBattery, mPhase exploits the physical phenomenon of electrowetting by which a voltage is used to change the wetting properties of a liquid/solid interface at the nanometer scale. Through electrowetting, mPhase can change a surface from what is referred to as a hydrophobic (“water repelling”) state to a hydrophilic (“water attracting”) state. In the hydrophobic state, the water beads up or is repelled by the surface. In the hydrophilic state, the water spreads out or is absorbed by the surface. The ability to electronically control the wetting characteristics of a surface at the nanometer scale forms the basis of mPhase’s nanotechnology operations and intellectual property portfolio.

 

26
 

 

In the Smart NanoBattery application, mPhase uses electrowetting as a new technique to activate or literally “turn on” a battery once it is ready to be used for the first time. At the heart of the Smart NanoBattery is a porous, nanostructured superhydrophic or superlyophobic membrane designed and fabricated by mPhase. The so-called superhydrophobic membrane applies to water and the superlyophobic membrane applies to nonaqueous or organic liquids such as ethanol or mineral oil. The difference between the two membrane types lies in the nanoscale architecture at the surface. By virtue of its superhydrophobic or superlyophobic character, the membrane, although porous, is able to physically separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes so that the battery remains dormant or inactive, thus providing no voltage or current until called upon. This electrolyte-electrode separation gives the battery the feature of potentially unlimited shelf life and the benefit of being always ready when needed, which is not necessarily the case for conventional batteries. Electrowetting alters the liquid/membrane interface so that the liquid is now able to flow over the membrane’s surface and rapidly move through the pores where it is able to contact the solid electrode materials located on the other side of the membrane.

 

mPhase uses MEMS to precisely control the machining of silicon-based materials at the micrometer and nanometer scales. This ability has led to the Company’s proprietary membrane design that controls the wetting and movement of liquids on a solid surface. mPhase uses microfluidics to control the flow of liquid electrolyte through the porous membrane and this is also the basis for other possible applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, filtration and separation and liquid delivery systems.

 

History of Nanotechnology Operations

 

Smart NanoBattery

 

mPhase Technologies along with Bell Labs jointly conducted research from February 2004 through April 2007 that demonstrated control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic and superlyophobic surfaces to create a new type of battery or energy storage device with power management features obtained by controlling the wetting behavior of a liquid electrolyte on a solid surface. The scientific research conducted set the ground work for continued development of the Smart NanoBattery and formed a path to commercialization of the technology for a broad range of market opportunities. During 2005 and 2006, the battery team tested modifications and enhancements to the internal design of the battery to optimize its power and energy density characteristics, as well as making engineering improvements that were essential in moving the battery from a zinc-based chemistry to a commercial lithium-based chemistry that can be manufactured on a large scale. The Company began its efforts by entering into a $1.2 million 12-month Development Agreement with the Bell Labs division of Alcatel/Lucent for exploratory research of control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic surfaces to create power cells (batteries) by controlling wetting behavior of an electrolyte on nanostructured electrode surfaces. The goal was to develop a major breakthrough in battery technology creating batteries with longer shelf lives as the result of no direct electrode contact (meaning no power drain prior to activation). The Company extended its development effort twice for an additional two years ending in March 2007 and for two additional periods thereafter through July 5, 2007. During this time, the technical focus shifted from trying to separate the liquid electrolyte from nanostructured electrodes to developing a nanostructured membrane that could physically separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes. mPhase also began working with the Rutgers University Energy Storage Research Group (ESRG) in July 2005 to conduct contract research in advanced battery chemistries involving lithium.

 

This work involved characterizing and testing materials that could be used in the mPhase battery. In July 2007, the relationship shifted to a collaboration focused on developing a memory backup battery needed by the U.S. Army. The work was funded through a Phase I Small Business Transfer grant.

 

The Company decided in September 2007 to transfer its development work out of Bell Labs (Alcatel/Lucent) in order to broaden its nanotechnology product commercialization efforts. Prior to such time mPhase was limited to development using zinc-based batteries since Bell Labs did not have facilities to handle lithium chemistry. mPhase continued to work with Rutgers ESRG that has facilities capable of handling lithium battery development and also engaged in work with other companies to supply essential components, fabricate prototypes, and plan manufacturing approaches. These companies included a well-respected silicon foundry and battery manufacturer.

 

In February 2008, the Company announced that a prototype of its Smart NanoBattery was successfully deployed in a gun-fired test at the Aberdeen Proving Ground at Maryland. The test was conducted by the U.S. Army Armament Research and Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) of Picatinny, New Jersey. The battery not only survived the harsh conditions of deployment at a gravitational force in excess of 45,000 g, but was also flawlessly activated in the process.

 

27
 

 

In March 2008, mPhase announced that it had been invited to submit a proposal for a Phase II STTR grant based upon the successful work it had performed on the Phase I grant to develop a version of the Smart NanoBattey referred to as the multi-cell, micro-array reserve battery for a critical U.S. Army memory backup application. The Phase II grant in the gross amount of $750,000 (net $500,000) was granted to the Company in the middle of September 2008. In March 2008, the Company also announced the successful transfer to a commercial foundry of certain processes critical to the manufacturing of its Smart NanoBattery. This enabled fabrication of the porous membranes for the multi-cell, micro-array reserve battery mentioned above. The Company successfully manufactured nanostructured membranes at the foundry that are essential to commercial production of the battery. By achieving a series of delayed activations, the shelf-life and continuous run-time of such battery is increased to a period of time in excess of twenty years. In April 2008, the Company announced that it had successfully activated its first Smart NanoBattery prototype by electrowetting using a hard-wired configuration and a remotely-activated device. Remote activation plays a key role in providing power to wireless sensors systems and RFID tags.

 

Also, in April 2008, the Company announced that it had successfully produced its first lithium-based reserve battery with a soft or pouch package and breakable separator (in place of the electrowettable membrane) that relies on mechanical rather than electrical activation to provide Power on Command™. The Company believes that it is a significant milestone in moving from a low energy density zinc-based battery to a higher energy density lithium-based battery towards proving that the Smart NanoBattery will eventually be economically and commercially viable.

 

In fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Company focused upon further development of its Smart Nano Battery under a Phase II STTR grant from the U.S. Army as a potential reserve battery for a back-up computer memory application for a weapons system. The Company completed this Phase II Army grant in the fall of 2010. On November 12, 2010, the Company announced that it had successfully triggered and activated its first functional multi-cell smart nano battery. Triggering and activation of the cells of the battery were achieved by using the technique of electrowetting or programmable triggering. Triggering was accomplished by applying a pulse of electrical energy to a porous, smart surface membrane located inside each cell in the battery causing the electrolyte to come in contact with the cell’s electrodes, creating the chemical reaction to produce voltage inside of the multi-cell battery. The multi-cell battery consists of a matrix of 12 individual cells populated with an electrode stack consisting of lithium and carbon monofluoride materials with each rated at 3.0 volts. Using a custom designed circuit board for testing, each of the cells in the battery were independently triggered and activated without affecting any of the non-activated cells in the multi-cell configuration. Each cell in the battery has a very long shelf-life prior to triggering.

 

On February 9, 2011, the Company announced that it had signed a 3 year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny, New Jersey, to continue to cooperatively test and evaluate the mPhase Smart NanoBattery, including new design features functionally appropriate for DoD based systems requiring portable power sources. The army researchers are evaluating the prototypes using the Army’s testing facilities at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey in order to determine applicability of the technology to gun fired munitions and potentially to incorporate the technologies into research and development and other programs sponsored by Picatinny. The Research Agreement is supported by the Fuze & Precision Armaments Technology Directorate

 

From 2011 through January 2019 the Company continued to add to and manage its patent portfolio primarily consisting of “Smart Surfaces” through the sciences of nanotechnology, microfluidics and material science engineering.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Company generated gross revenue of $2,500,000. In the prior two years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 the Company did not generate any revenue.

OVERVIEW

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in this prospectus.

 

We are a nanotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing reserve batteries and other products with “smart surfaces” in the emerging fields of micro fluid dynamics and nanotechnology. On January 11, 2019 the Company underwent a major change in management and control and as a result it is also focusing on development of software platforms and other products associated with the areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Effective May 22, 2019 the Company completed a 5,000/1 reverse split of its Common Stock reducing its shares of authorized common stock to 25 million shares. As part of the January 11, 2019 change of control of the Company a new class of 1,000 shares of super voting preferred stock were issued to the new CEO of the Company.

 

Plan of Operations

 

While we continue to pursue research and development in connection with our work on smart surfaces, we are increasingly focused on the identification and development of product candidates utilizing our technology in both commercial and military arenas. This now includes broadening our technology to include the areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning. We cannot, however, predict the amount and timing of future revenues. We do not expect sufficient revenues to cover our expenses for the foreseeable future and expect to continue to fund our operations primarily from outside capital investments including debt financings and private placements of our common stock.

 

Strategy

 

The Company is seeking to identify strategic partners with significant financial resources through the current valuation of its patent portfolio. The Company believes that its patents as well as its development efforts in the scientific area of microfluidics and “smart surfaces” may provide compelling solutions as part of products and strategies of other companies in the area of energy storage related product. Finally, the Company intends to continue to pursue acquisitions of privately-held companies that have innovative products that are synergistic with the Company’s strategy of introducing new high-growth products in the areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning to the market that will enhance and accelerate the Company’s growth of revenues.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company’s critical accounting policies are as follows:

 

Convertible Instruments - The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815.

 

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional (as that term is described).

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470 20 “Debt with Conversion Options” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

 

Transactions With New Management

 

On January 11, 2019 the Company agreed to an employment agreement with Mr. Bhatnagar which includes annual compensation for a period of five (5) years with annual salary of $275,000. Also included as compensation was the issuance of restricted shares of common stock of the Company equal to 20% pre-split or 13,109,494,031, of the number of shares outstanding, after giving effect to the shares reserved under the agreements, (“Signing Shares”) on January 11, 2019 to Mr. Bhatnagar.; And a warrant agreement (s) with provisions to acquire up to 80% (the warrant cap) of the Company’s common stock based upon the Company increasing revenue.

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company charged $1,310,449 to expense, based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 11, 2019, for the issuance of 2,620,899 shares of common stock in connection with his employment contract, as discussed in Note 3.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Company charged to expense and included in accrued expenses of $129,861 compensation expense and $6,691 related fringe costs for amounts due under the employment contract to Mr. Bhatnagar as our President and CEO, as well as $7,621 for facility use and support costs at our Maryland office, to Verus International, Inc.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from outside contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance and notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Public business entities may elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date however, adoption is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will implement this pronouncement on July 1, 2019.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU-2016-01, Financial Instruments- Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liability Letters. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements and notes to our financial statements.

 

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, 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 on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new standard changes the presentation of restricted cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

34
 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this Update clarify 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 amendments in this Update provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, it (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. This Update is the final version of Proposed ASU 2015-330 Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This Update is the final version of Proposed ASU 2016-360—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Scope of Modification Accounting, which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying abbreviated financial statements.

 

Patents and Licenses

 

We have 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.

 

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:

 

Nano Technology, Micro Electrical Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Battery Portfolio:

 

Various aspects of the mPhase technology are protected by patents either owned directly by the Company or with respect to which the Company has sub-licensing rights. The Company’s current battery related patent portfolio consists of ten issued or licensed patents, of which one is jointly owned with Nokia Corporation (formerly Alcatel Lucent Technologies), and five are licensed from Nokia Corporation. These cover such aspects of the technology as the ability to use electrowetting to create a moveable liquid lens, methodology and apparatus for reducing friction between a fluid and a body, methodology for etching planar silicon substrates to develop a reserve battery device, methodology and apparatus for controlling the flow resistance of a fluid on nanostructured or microstructured surfaces, methodology for creating a structured membrane with controllable permeability, methodology for a nanostructured battery with end of life cells, and methodology for making a multi-cell battery system with multiple chemistries in each individual cell of the battery pack. Some of these patents are specific to the development of a battery device while others are more generalized. The Company has four patent applications that are subject to reinstatement, of which three, the Company intends to submit for reinstatement.

 

Other Patents

 

On July 12, 2005, mPhase announced that it had been granted a U.S. patent that covers a series of techniques for splitting different voice and data signals in DSL access networks that is used in its Broadband Loop Watch product. The Company has discontinued further development and marketing of this product owing to the lack of demand for loop diagnostics systems by telephone service providers.

 

The Company has obtained trademark protection for its mPower Emergency Illuminator and mPower on CommandTM.

 

In July 2009, the Company filed for 3 new patents covering the unique design features of its manually-activated lithium reserve battery and emergency flashlight products.

 

On May 20, 2011, the Company announced that it had been granted a U.S. patent for multi-chemistry battery architecture.

 

On February 10, 2012 the Company filed a U.S. provisional patent with the USPTO for a Non-Pump Enabled Drug Delivery System.

MANAGEMENT’S PLANS AND CURRENT STATUS

 

On January 11, 2019, the Company completed a major change in control and change in management. The new management of the Company has significant capabilities in the product areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The focus will be to identify and acquire profitable software platforms with competitive advantages sourced primarily, but not exclusively out of India. New management believes that it can retain software engineers and platforms at considerably lower cost in India than would be available in the United States. The new emphasis of management is to acquire, create, and establish profit centers in India that are in need of capital in order to grow. New management intends to periodically access the United States equity and debt capital markets to acquire high growth enterprises in India in need of capital. The Company is also currently considering strategic alternatives to best monetize its remaining patent portfolio, including partnering to exploit its opportunities for our drug delivery system with a major pharmaceutical generic pharmaceutical company in India. In addition the Company is continuing the efforts of prior management to seek funding for and strategic alliances with The Department of Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium “DOTC”, Small Business Innovative Research “SBIR”, Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) and similar programs.

 

During fiscal year 2019, the Company raised $193,000 from a private placement of its common stock at $0.25 per share. Prior management as well as outside individual investors that have historically funded the Company participated in this offering. In addition, the Company raised a total of $254,600 through the sale of various 8% convertible promissory notes to accredited investors on June 19, 2019, July 30, 2019, September 5, 2019 and September 24, 2019. A portion of the first Note refinanced prior indebtedness that was in arrears to the accredited investor. Each of the convertible promissory notes is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a 38% discount to market value in 180 days after issuance, provided that such notes can be prepaid with a prepayment premium to its face value within 180 days of issuance. The foregoing financings are expensive costs of capital and management believes that it will have access to financings on more favorable terms during fiscal year 2020 as it achieves growth in its revenues. Management believes that it will be necessary to raise in excess of $5 million during fiscal year 2020 in order to maintain operations and achieve the current high growth strategy for the Company.

 

In our continued effort to revise our debt obligations existing prior to December 31, 2018, the Company and the note holder, JMJ Financial, have been renegotiating the settlement of outstanding balances. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded the cancellation of two notes assigned to River North from JMJ Financial for a total of $693,060 of principal and $358,534 accrued interest thereon, which resulted in a $1,051,594 gain from the cancellation of debt. At June 30, 2019, the Company is negotiating a settlement for the remaining $109,000 of principle and $84,287 of accrued interest thereon due to JMJ, and is offering a cash settlement for approximately $25,000.

 

Effective December 10, 2018, the Company entered into a “Judgment Settlement Agreement” to satisfy, in full, the prior Forbearance Agreement with Mr. Fife. As a result, the Forbearance agreement is no longer in effect and no shares of our common stock are issuable or eligible to be converted to under this obligation. Under the terms of the Judgment Settlement Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Mr. Fife $15,000 per month through February of 2020 with a final payment of $195,000 to fully repay the obligation in March of 2020. During the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company paid $90,000 to Mr. Fife under the Judgment Settlement Agreement. At June 30, 2019, the value of the debt obligation was $855,660, and as of the date hereof the Company has made all payments required under such agreement.

 

During December 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 3,200,000 shares of common stock to Officers, Directors and the Company’s accounting consultant in exchange for aggregate indebtedness and fees owed to such persons in the approximate amount of $1,600,000. During September 2018, the Company issued the 1,150,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the announced stock award. Also, during the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company settled $1,883,445 of related party and strategic vendor debts by issuing 3,898,733 shares of common stock with 329,553 shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to this part of our recapitalization plan.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has used net cash in its operating activities of approximately $204,000 and $173,000 during the year ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and has a working capital deficit of approximately $2,440,000 at June 30, 2019.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future, once a merger with an operating company is consummated. Management’s plans may continue to provide for its capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt and the Company will continue to find possible acquisition targets. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.

 

Capital Raising Transactions

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $193,000 and $81,000 of net proceeds from the issuance of 640,000 with 132,000 shares to be issued, and 360,000 shares of common stock in private placements with accredited investors, incurring finder’s fees of $0 and $9,000, respectively.

 

Conversion of Debt Securities

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 3,898,733 shares of common stock with 329,553 shares to be issued, to a number of related parties and strategic consultants in connection with prior services provided to the Company. The shares issued were valued at $1,883,445. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, there were no shares of common stock issued to related parties or strategic consultants.

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no conversions by JMJ Financial, John Fife (dba St. George Investors) / Fife Judgment, MH Investment Trust II, or Power Up Lending.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company issued 64,800 shares of its common stock, valued at $16,200, to a number of related parties and strategic consultants in connection with prior services provided to the Company.

 

Judgement Settlement Agreement (Formerly Fife Forbearance Obligation)

 

On June 30, 2019, the judgement settlement agreement, which satisfies the Fife obligation in full, totaled $570,660. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 the Company made payments totaling $90,000 under the judgment settlement agreement. During the fiscal years ending June 30, 2019 and 2018 the Company recorded a total of $60,296 and $75,492 of interest expense, respectively on the preceding forbearance and current judgement settlement agreement.

 

On various occasions commencing August 11, 2015 and then on January 19, 2016, June 30, 2016, August 18, 2017 and February 16, 2018, the Company entered into an Amendments No. 1 through 5 to the Forbearance Agreement with Mr. Fife; primarily rescheduling the monthly payment schedules. On December 15, 2018, the Company paid $15,000 as the execution payment for the judgement settlement agreement. The Company plans to satisfy this agreement in full by making payments of $15,000 per month through February 15, 2020 and a balloon payment of $195,000 in March 2020. Failure to pay such amounts would enable Fife to immediately enforce the remaining amount of the debt owed by the Company. Under the Judgment Settlement Agreement $855,660 is included in the line item “Current portion, liabilities in arears - judgement settlement agreement” in the current liabilities section of the Company’s Balance Sheet at June 30, 2019. Should the Company satisfy this liability under the Judgment Settlement Agreement we would realize a gain on such settlement of approximately $580,000.

 

The Company has pursued strategic alternatives to best monetize its remaining patent portfolio restructuring and revising its debt obligations and capital structure, primarily satisfying prior obligations while it implements its new operating strategy.

River North Equity, LLC (“River North”); which had purchased notes previously issued to JMJ Financial, commenced a litigation against the Company, which was dismissed with prejudice on April 17, 2017; and additionally, we were awarded attorney’s fees. River North failed to appeal a Judgement in favor of the Company negating such Notes by July 17, 2017 and the Judgement became final. As a result of this proceeding the Company recorded the cancellation of the two notes assigned to River North from JMJ Financial for a total of $693,060 of principal and $358,534 accrued interest thereon. This resulted in a $1,051,594 gain from debt during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The Company been negotiating a settlement for the remaining JMJ notes for an amount less than the $109,000 of principle and $84,287 of accrued interest thereon we have recorded due to JMJ at June 30, 2019.

 

The Company has also settled the amount due to MH Investment Trust II in full for a payment of $3,000 on April 10, 2019.

 

The Transition Agreement enables our new management to develop and implement its current plan of operation while the Company finalizes undertakings already in process to extinguish specific debts and settle or reduce other liabilities outstanding within six (6) months.

 

The Company is focused upon developing a world-class software capability in the core disciplines of artificial intelligence and machine learning in order to broaden its product line and achieve connectively of its existing technology to become part of the “internet of things” The Company believes this effort is essential to accelerate and increase rapid growth of its revenues and maximize shareholder value.

 

During March 2019, the Company formed its operating subsidiary in Bangalore, India, mPhase Technologies India Pvt ltd., which leases office space for approximately 40 employees.

 

During April 2019, the Company acquired the rights, software, and code to the technology platform utilized by the Travel Buddhi division in India, for $115,281.

 

During June 2019, the Company secured a $2.5 million contract to provide software, training, and support services to an IT solutions and services company. The contract provides mPhase with an initial $2.5 million of revenue upon delivery of the software license, and also provides subsequent revenue for training, support, updates and maintenance services as provided.

 

During June 2019, the Company acquired a controlling interest (99%) in Alpha Predictions, LLP, (“Alpha Predictions”) an India-based technology company, that has developed a suite of commercial data analysis products for use across multiple industries. Alpha Predictions is comprised of a team of data specialists who are developing software designed to provide enhanced levels of data analysis for specific business applications. 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. Alpha Predictions currently has annualized revenue in excess of $2.0 million (USD) and will become a consolidated subsidiary effective July 1, 2019.

 

During April 2019, the Company announced an agreement to acquire all the outstanding stock of AIRobotica Services Limited, a Bangalore, India-based technology company, (“AIRobotica”) under the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated April 19, 2019. The purchase price of $2,500,000 is to be paid over two years in the form of the Company’s common stock, $1,250,000 each anniversary, contingent upon this division attaining prescribed revenue targets. The agreement also requires the Company to provide up to $2,400,000 of working capital over the same two years. Effective June 30, 2019, the Company and AIRobotica mutually agreed under the provisions of a Termination of Stock Purchase Agreement, to terminate, cancel, and void the SPA as it was determined by each party to the SPA that each held different strategic visions on conducting the future business of AIRobotica and therefore the termination of the SPA was in the best interest of both parties. The termination of the SPA did not result in any economic or other penalties to the Company.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, including recently amended settlement agreements, (2) continue its plan to align partners or other third parties to underwrite any research and development efforts needed to exploit our existing technological capabilities, or develop new products and (3) allow the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its smart surface products, or any newly developed, acquired or otherwise obtained product or service line of business. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or if so, on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

The Company believes that its short-term liquidity requirements are between $140,000 and $150,000 per month until the recently activated subsidiaries become self-funding from our new operations and any re- activation of our existing technologies. In the longer term, we estimate that the Company will need to raise approximately $5 million to $10 million of additional capital for the next 12 months in order to complete targeted acquisitions of revenue producing companies that focus upon artificial intelligence and machine learning. Finally, depending upon sales and margins in fiscal year 2020, additional capital may be required to fund a portion of any growth necessary in operations.

 

We believe that it is not possible at this stage to provide a meaningful estimate of the total cost to complete our ongoing projects and bring any proposed products to market. The development of new products using the science of nanotechnology and the discipline of microfluidics, artificial intelligence and machine learning are emerging areas and the time for development of future new products is unknown. Costs to complete could vary substantially depending upon the products selected for development. It is possible that the completion and commercialization of these new products could be delayed for a variety of reasons, including difficulties in developing prototypes, delays in manufacturing and the development of new sources of product distribution. Any delay in completion of a product would increase the cost of that product, which would harm our results of operations. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot reasonably estimate the size, nature nor timing of the costs to complete, or the amount or timing of the net cash inflows from our current activities. Until we have developed a larger number of products, we will not be able to estimate our future expenses related to these programs or when, if ever, and to what extent we will receive cash inflows from resulting products.

Penny Stock Rules

 

Our shares of Common Stock are subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act. In general terms, “penny stock” is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC, authorized for quotation from the NASDAQ stock market, issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the issuer’s net tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer’s net tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years or the issuer’s average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed $6,000,000.

 

Trading in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional investors. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our Common Stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.

 

Dividends

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future as we currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance operations and the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by our Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our financial condition and performance, our cash needs and expansion plans, income tax consequences, and the restrictions that applicable laws, our current preferred stock instruments, and our future credit arrangements may then impose.

 

Currently under New Jersey law, unless further restricted in its certificate of incorporation, a corporation may declare and pay dividends out of surplus, or if no surplus exists, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year (provided that the amount of capital of the corporation is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets).

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth information as of September 23, 2019, as to each person or group who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding voting securities and as to the security and percentage ownership of each of our executive officers and directors and of all of our officers and directors as a group. As of September 23, 2019, we had 12,425,201 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder.

 

Shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or convertible within 60 days of September 23, 2019, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

A director who is, or at any time during the past three years, was employed by the Company or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company, shall not be considered independent. Accordingly, there are no Directors of the Company that meet the definition of “independent director” under Rule 4200(A)(15) of the NASD Manual; Anshu Bhatnagar does not.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified by our bylaws against amounts actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they are a party by reason of being or having been directors or officers of the Company. Our certificate of incorporation provides that none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable for damages for breach of any fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of any such director or officer. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to such directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by such director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

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 10: Convertible Debt Arrangements

 

JMJ Financial

 

During April 2017, the Company received a judgment from the Federal District Court of Northern Illinois Eastern Division in its favor dismissing a claim by River North Equity which negated two notes River North Equity purchased from JMJ Financial. At June 30, 2017, the amount recorded as a current liability for the two notes and accrued interest thereon subject to the River North Equity claim was $1,046,416. Such amount was included in the amount recorded as a current liabilities for all three convertible notes and accrued interest thereon previously issued to JMJ Financial which totaled $1,212,940 on that date. As a result of the proceeding, on July 17, 2017, the Company recorded the cancellation of the two notes assigned to River North from JMJ Financial for a total of $693,060 of principal and $358,534 accrued interest thereon. This resulted in a $1,051,594 gain from the extinguishment of debt during the year ended June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2019, this debt was reclassified to current liabilities as current portion, liabilities in arrears – judgment settlement agreement.

The Company received proceeds in the amount of $45,800, with $25,000 refinancing a prior convertible promissory note due to the Lender that had been in default, $3,000 being paid to reimburse the Lender for legal and due diligence fees incurred with respect to this Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note and $4,200 being paid to the Company’s Transfer Agent to satisfy an outstanding balance. This convertible debenture converts at 62% of the lowest trading price during the 20 days prior to conversion. Due to certain ratchet provisions contained in the convertible promissory note the Company accounted for this conversion feature as a derivative liability. In connection herewith, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $103,161, deferred financing costs of $3,000 and debt discount of $75,000. The deferred financing costs and debt discount are being amortized over the term of the note. The aggregate balance of the convertible promissory note and accrued interest was $78,000 and $188, respectively, at June 30, 2019. The aggregate balance of the convertible promissory note, net of deferred financing costs and debt discount at June 30, 2019 was $2,351.

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:

NOTE 11: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (continued)

 

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.

 

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 June 30, 2019:

 

Expected volatility     1,872.2 %
Expected term     11.5 months  
Risk-free interest rate     1.92 %

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 %

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.

NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES (continued)

 

As of June 30, 2019, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $105,200,000 and approximately $56,500,000 to offset future federal and state income taxes. Net operating loss carryforwards expire through 2038. Under the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, certain stock transactions which significantly change ownership, including the sale of stock to new investors, the exercise of options to purchase stock, or other transactions between shareholders could limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be utilized on an annual basis to offset taxable income in future periods.

 

At June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

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

 

(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

Provided however, that:

 

(i) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and

 

(ii) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

4. That, for determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities;

 

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

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

 

62
 

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

Since the registrant is subject to Rule 430, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430(B) or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided; however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
