About Us

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”, “mPhase”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a publicly-held New Jersey company founded in 1996 with approximately 23,000 shareholders and approximately 11,886,967 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. The Company has offices in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

 

Historically we have had net operating losses each year since our inception

 

As of March 31, 2019, we have an accumulated deficit of ($213,374,998) and a stockholder’s deficit of ($1,793,593) and a net loss of $1,442,412 for the three months then ended. As of June 30, 2018, we have an accumulated deficit of ($211,676,692) and a stockholder’s deficit of ($3,992,969). We incurred a net gain of $313,904 and a net loss of $310,765 for the years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The auditors’ report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 includes the statement that “there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern”.

 

Business of the Company

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “We”) was organized on October 2, 1996. Since 2004 the Company has been in the business of developing new products through the science of nanotechnology and micro-fluid dynamics. The Company has made significant progress in developing a reserve battery with an unlimited shelf life prior to initial activation. Our patent portfolio consists of intellectual property covering the “smart surfaces” that liquids in droplets can be suspended upon and collapse upon initial activation by either an electrical impulse or a g force. The Company intends to develop other potential products such as a drug delivery system using such scientific disciplines to monetize its patent portfolio.

 

In February 2004 the Company engaged the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. to develop a new type of power cell energy storage device through the science of nanotechnology. Taking advantage of a superhydrophobic effect or suspension of a liquid electrolyte on silicon, Bell Labs created for the Company a reserve battery product with a virtually unlimited shelf-life prior to initial activation. This result was achieved by causing the suspension, in droplet form, of liquid electrolyte on a “smart surface” or repellant such as silicon. The phenomenon is based upon the superhydrophobic effect similar to beads of raindrops forming on a leaf in nature. An electronic impulse is used to trigger the process of “electrowetting” or collapse of the droplet and the mixing of the electrolyte, thereby providing a low- level source of energy.

 

The Company’s first product is its Smart NanoBattery, a reserve battery, having significant potential military applications for providing low energy power-sources needed to power guidance systems on small munitions as well as reserve sources of power needed to back up computer-memory systems. The Smart Battery is only activated upon command by either a g force or magnetic pulse and therefore has a virtually unlimited shelf-life prior to initial activation as a reserve source of energy. The Company believes there is a significant need for energy storage products that can be activated on command and that are guaranteed to generate reserve sources of power for mission-critical activities.

 

From 2004 through the present, mPhase’s research and product development focuses on developing “smart surfaces” using materials science engineering, nanotechnology science and the principles of microfluidics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The Company develops products for both commercial and military applications. As noted above, the Company’s first flagship product is its Smart NanoBattery providing Power on Command™. The new patent pending and patented battery technology, based on the phenomenon of electrowetting, offers a unique way to store energy and manage power. Features of the Smart NanoBattery include potentially infinite shelf life, environmentally friendly design, fast ramp to power, programmable control, and direct integration with microelectronic devices. The platform technology behind the Smart NanoBattery is a porous nanostructured material used to repel and precisely control the flow of liquids.

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.

 

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 NanoBattery referred to as the multi-cell, micro-array reserve battery for a critical memory backup application. The Phase II grant in the gross amount of $750,000 (shared with Rutgers University which netted $500,000 to mPhase) was granted to the Company in the middle of September 2008. mPhase has completed work under a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) grant of approximately $750,000, as part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, from the U.S. Army. Under the grant the Company has continued development of its Smart NanoBattery as a reserve battery for critical mission computer memory. Such reserve battery can be activated by an electronic pulse.

 

We have developed and maintain a portfolio of patents and patent applications that form the proprietary base for our research and development efforts in the area of “smart surfaces.” We believe that our intellectual property portfolio, which currently includes issued patents either directly owned or licensed by the Company and filed patent applications in various stages of review, is very strong. Our research and development over the years includes some of the world’s leading institutions including Alcatel/Lucent Bell Labs. We believe our technology base, combined with our know-how, provides us with a strong competitive advantage and will facilitate future successful development and commercialization of additional products for use in a variety of potential military and commercial products.

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.

 

  9  
     

 

We have a history of operating losses and we may not achieve future revenues or operating profits .

 

We have generated modest revenue to date from our operations. Historically we have had net operating losses each year since our inception. The Company has not generated significant revenue outside of STTR grants with respect to its Smart Nano Battery or other potential products related to Smart Surfaces and artificial intelligence and machine learning. Additionally, even if we are able to commercialize our technologies or any products or services related to our technologies it is not certain that they will result in profitability.

 

The Company has never made an operating profit in its 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 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.

 

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.

 

  11  
     

 

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, and
     
  patents will not issue to other parties, which may be infringed by our potential products or technologies.
     
  we will continue to have the financial resources necessary to prosecute our existing patent applications, pay maintenance fees on patents and patent applications, or file patent applications on new inventions.

 

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.

 

  12  
     

 

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

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has estimated by application of a Black Scholes option pricing model that $19,656,741 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 term requisite service or vesting period to earn the conditions of the warrant. There are an estimated 39,313,000 total shares issuable under the warrant on a post-split basis that are attainable under the agreement as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2019 the amount recorded in Current Liabilities for convertible note plus accrued interest thereon previously issued to JMJ Financial was $109,000 and $80,472 respectively. As of March 31, 2019, the aggregate remaining amount of convertible securities held by JMJ could be converted into 47,370,000 pre-split common shares at the conversion floor price of $.004 or 9,497 shares on a post-split basis with a conversion price of $26.

 

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 15 th day of each month through December 15, 2019 with a final payment of $190,000 due and payable on January 15, 2020. Failure to pay such amounts enable Fife to immediately enforce the remaining about of the debt owed by the Company.

 

Under the Judgement Settlement Agreement $310,910 is included in the line item “Current Portion, liabilities, in arears,- Judgement Settlement Agreement” and $580,000 in the line item “Long term portion, liabilities, in arrears,- Judgement Settlement Agreement” in the liabilities section of the Company’s Balance Sheet as of March 31, 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 $11,532 of finance charges for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, $39,468 remained outstanding under this note. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 we incurred $7,976 and $8,273, respectively, of finance charges under this note and at March 31, 2019, $48,392 remained outstanding.

 

On June 25, 2019 mPhase Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (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 proceeds in the amount of $48,000 and refinance prior indebtedness, of which $48,392 had been recorded as outstanding, owed to the Lender that had been in default. This note becomes due in full, together with accrued interest in June 2020 for approximately $86,000. Should we fail to make such payments, the lender can demand shares of our stock, 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 $1.00 as of June 21, 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 .

 

  15  
     

 

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 $213,374,998 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 March 31, 2019, we have working capital deficit of approximately ($1,234,393) and a stockholders’ deficit of ($1,793,593).

 

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 March 31, 2019.

 

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

 

Management and employment contracts with all of our officers prior to January 11, 2019 have expired and no assurances can be given that such executives will continue to invest in the Company or that the Company will be able to successfully enter into agreements with such key executives. All of our prior officers have made significant investments in the Company in the form of equity periodic purchases of common stock and bridge loans and been granted stock and stock options that are intended to represent a key component of their compensation. Such grants may not provide the intended incentives to such officers to continue investing in our common stock if our stock price declines or experiences significant volatility. In addition our three corporate officers accumulated past accrued and unpaid salaries in the aggregate amount of approximately $538,777 certain notes and accrued interest were settled for stock and an amended conversion feature during the FYE June 30, 2017 and portions of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and have and have agreed to convert such amounts into common stock of the Company.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR TARGETED MARKETS

 

The sale of new high technology products often has a long lead-time and a multiplicity of risks.

 

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

 

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

 

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 General Electric with great resources are currently focusing significant monies for new solutions. Large Companies such as Microsoft have made significant in- roads 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.

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 presently have members of management and other key employees located in various locations throughout the country which adds complexities to the operation of the business.

 

Presently, we have members of management and other key employees located in both Connecticut and New York and Maryland, which adds complexities to the operation of our business.

 

We face risks related to compliance with corporate governance laws and financial reporting standards.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related new rules and regulations implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, require changes in the corporate governance practices and financial reporting standards for public companies. These new laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to internal control over financial reporting, referred to as Section 404, have materially increased our legal and financial compliance costs and made some activities more time-consuming and more burdensome.

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.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Each selling stockholder and any of its pledges, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of Common Stock on the pink sheets or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which our shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  privately negotiated transactions;
  settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
  broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

  25  
     

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

A selling stockholder or its pledges, donates, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of Common Stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. A selling stockholder cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholder. The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholder, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.

 

The selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling stockholder has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.

 

A selling stockholder may pledge its shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The selling stockholder and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling stockholder or any other such person. In the event that the selling stockholder is deemed affiliated with purchasers or distribution participants within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling stockholder will not be permitted to engage in short sales of Common Stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. Not only is the selling stockholder contractually restricted from engaging in short sales but in the event any such short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling stockholder will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our Common Stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

 

If the selling stockholder notifies us that it has a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the Common Stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling stockholder and the broker-dealer.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

mPhase, a New Jersey corporation founded in 1996, is a publicly-held company with over 23,000 shareholders and 11,886,967 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.

 

  27  
     

 

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.

 

  28  
     

 

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.

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 also has four patent applications related to the Smart Surfaces technology that have been filed with the United States Patent Office and other foreign patent offices and that are in various stages of examiner review, as well as four additional patent applications related to other Smart Surfaces technologies under review.

 

Employees

 

Currently w e have two full-time employees. We also use the services of numerous outside consultants in business and scientific matters. We believe that we have good relations with our employees and consultants.

 

Competition

 

The nanotechnology and battery industries as well as the disciplines of artificial intelligence and machine learning are characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. Our competitors include major multinational companies, specialty nanotechnology companies and energy storage products companies. Many of these companies, including Microsoft 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 and begin commercial sales of their products before we do.

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.

In April 2016 the prior management of the Company determined to discontinue our then primary revenue generating product which was a Jump Starter for automotive batteries line of products owing to increased competition from China and eroding margins. We have had limited resources dedicated to protecting our technology and recapitalizing the Company. During our last two fiscal years ending June 30, 2018 and 2017, we have focused our operating activity primarily at implementing a plan to monetize our existing intellectual property portfolio and restructuring our debt obligations. On December 10, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the Judgment Settlement Agreement with John Fife which we believe significantly enhanced the opportunity to complete our Debt restructuring.

 

On January 11, 2019, the Company executed contracts including a “Transition Agreement” , together with our prior management and Mr. Bhatnagar whereby Mr. Bhatnagar acquired control of the Company. The Transition Agreement provides the protocol that allows our new management to review our intellectual property portfolio and implement its current plan of operation. The Company is continuing to implement undertakings already in process to extinguish specific debts and settle or reduce other liabilities outstanding within six (6) months of January 11, 2019. Such effort will enable the Company to be in a position to continue to implement a plan to monetize our technology and continuing the prior management’s plan to (i) reduce liabilities to an acceptable level,(ii) streamline internal financial information and update to best practices our corporate governance and that of our subsidiaries The foregoing will allow us to, formulate and implement a revised plan of operations based upon the status of each potential application of our legacy intellectual property portfolio as well as estimate cost and time frames to commercial deployment., including:

 

(a)- further development of new “smart surface” products through the sciences of microfluidics, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology.

 

(b)- continued development of our patented Drug Delivery Systems.

 

(c) - completing our first nanotechnology-enabled product for military and commercial applications - the Smart NanoBattery providing Power on Command™. Our patented and patent-pending battery technology, based on the phenomenon of electrowetting, offers a unique way to store energy and manage power that could revolutionize the battery industry. 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.

 

In addition, Mr. Bhatnagar intends to broaden the Company’s existing lines of business in order to accelerate revenue growth through acquisitions of companies and products focused upon proprietary software for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications .

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company acquired the rights, software and code to the technology platform utilized by the Travel Buddhi division in India, for $115,000. Amortization will be computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.

 

Effective May 22, 2019 the Company completed a 5000/1 Reverse Split of its Common Stock.

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 revenues’;

 

During the three and nine months ended March 2019, the Company charge to expense $1,310,449, based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 11, 2019, for the issuance of 2,621,899 post-split shares of common stock in connection with his employment contract, as discussed in Note 3.

 

During the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019 the Company charge to expense and included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2019, $61,111 and $4,938 of compensation expense and related fringe costs for amounts due under the employment contract to Mr. Bhatnagar as our President, as well as $3,571 for facility use and support costs at our Maryland office, to Verus International, Inc. (ticker symbol “VRUS”) a publicly-held company, for which Mr. Bhatnagar is also the President and CEO.

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.

 

  35  
     

 

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.

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 $5-10 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 never paid cash dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. Our future dividend policy will be determined by our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our financial condition and performance, our cash needs and expansion plans, income tax consequences, and the restrictions that applicable laws, our current preferred stock instruments, and our future credit arrangements may then impose.

 

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

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our exposure to market risk is limited primarily to interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly because a significant portion of our investments are in short term debt securities issued by the U.S. government and institutional money market funds. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal. Due to the nature of our marketable securities, we believe that we are not exposed to any material market risk. We do not have any derivative financial instruments or foreign currency instruments. If interest rates had varied by 10% in the three months ended March 31, 2011, it would not have had a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows for that period.

 

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS

 

Our directors are elected at the annual meeting of shareholders to hold office until the annual meeting of shareholders for the ensuing year or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Officers are elected annually by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board. No family relationships exist between any of the executive officers or directors.

Board Committees

Director Independence

 

The Company complies with the standards of “independence” prescribed by rules set forth by the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”). Accordingly, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, that person does not have a material relationship with our company which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. A director who is, or at any time during the past three years, was employed by the Company or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company, shall not be considered independent. Accordingly, 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, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018, 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, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2018, 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 no revenues, has negative working capital at June 30, 2018, 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.

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 approximately 16.9 billion shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018. 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 the primary 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 our 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 & Homeland Security including The Department of Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium “DO TC”, Small Business Innovative Research “SBIR”, Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) and similar programs for targeted applications for its smart nano-battery applications.

 

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 treated as Discontinued Operations in these financial statements. Medds, Inc is a Wyoming Corporation that was formed to capitalize on opportunities for our drug delivery system.

 

We are presently headquartered in New Dorp Lane, Staten Island, New York.

2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

Through June 30, 2018, the Company incurred cumulative losses reflected in its accumulated deficit of $211,678,692 and at June 30, 2018 had a working capital deficit of $3,993,269. Funding in our traditional capital markets was difficult during FYE 2016, 2017 and 2018. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the issue date of this report.

 

The Company was able to enter into convertible debt arrangements and private placements of equity with independent investors to provide liquidity and capital resources during the preceding two fiscal years. In addition, and from time to time during FYE 2018 and 2017, the Company raised necessary working capital via bridge loans from officers. During FYE June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company received net proceeds from private placements with accredited investors of approximately $81,000 and $40,500 respectively.

 

The Company is currently focused on preserving the ability to continue the development and commercialization of its battery products using the science of nanotechnology. Presently the Company is pursuing strategic alternatives to best monetize its patent portfolio, including partnering with to exploit its opportunities for our drug delivery system in the medical device industry and pursuing development programs in the Defense & Homeland Security departments for targeted applications for our smart nano-battery applications. In April of 2016, the Company began the wind-down of its entire line of mPower Jump products owing to increased competition and erosion of pricing in the market. The Company had its last significant sale of Jump products during the first Quarter of Fiscal 2017 and this product line is treated as Discontinued Operations in these financial statements.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) successfully develop, market and sell its products. The Company believes that it will be able to complete the necessary steps in order to meet its cash flow requirements throughout fiscal 2018 and continue its development and commercialization efforts.

 

However, there can be no assurance that mPhase will generate sufficient revenue to provide positive cash flows from operations or that sufficient capital will be available, when required, to permit the Company to realize its plans. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of mPhase and its wholly-owned owned subsidiaries, mPower Technologies, Inc. & Medds, Inc. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These include net realizable inventories, prepaid expenses, accrued expenses and stock based compensation expense. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, current and long-term debt, line of credit, convertible debt and due to related parties. Management believes the estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and debt instruments at June 30, 2018 and 2017 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments. Fair value of due to related parties cannot be determined due to lack of similar instruments available to the Company.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

 

DEBT DISCOUNTS

 

Costs incurred with parties who are providing the actual long-term financing, which generally may include loan fees, the value of warrants, fair value of the derivative conversion feature, or the intrinsic value of conversion features associated with the underlying debt, are reflected as a debt discount. These costs and discounts are generally amortized to interest expense generally over the life of the related debt.

 

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Derivative instruments are accounted for 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. Increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income. The Company determined that due to the lack of an active market for the Company’s common stock that there was no derivative liability associated with the convertible notes outstanding at June 30, 2018 and 2017. (See Note 8)

  

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company reviews long-term assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company also assesses these assets for impairment based on their estimated future cash flows.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to five years.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT -Discontinued Operations

 

Research and Development cost are charged to operations when incurred. The amounts charged to expense for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $0 and $38, respectively.

 

PATENTS AND LICENSES

 

Patents and licenses are capitalized when mPhase determines there will be a future benefit derived from such assets and are stated at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally five years. As of June 30, 2018, and 2017, the book value of such assets, or $214,383, has been fully amortized and no amortization expense was recorded for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company included in other income $0 and $12,500 for the conditional sale of a patent which had no capitalized costs associated with the patent.

 

INVENTORIES -Discontinued Operations

 

The Company uses the First-In First Out method (FIFO) to account for inventory which is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. As of June 30, 2018, and 2017, inventory was valued at $0 and $3,477, net of a $72,503 and $69,106 reserve, respectively. The amounts of inventory write downs charged to the reserve for the year ended June 30, 2018 was $2,000.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED

 

mPhase accounts for net loss per common share in accordance with the requirements FASB ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company has convertible securities held by third parties and convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon held by officers of the Company, subject to availability, convertible into approximately 765,042,167 shares immediately, and up to 11,219,196,667 shares if the forbearance agreement discussed in Note 8 is settled entirely in stock, for convertible notes held by third parties; and 16,404,630,000 shares, if available, for officer and director notes and unpaid wages and fees of the Company’s common stock based upon the conversion terms at June 30, 2018. If all were fully converted at June 30, 2018 based upon the terms at that date it would total 27,623,826,667 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

In periods reporting a loss the inclusion of warrants and potential common shares to be issued in connection with convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted loss per share and have been omitted in such computation.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. At June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

 

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes.” The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

 

The Company files U.S. and state income tax returns with various statutes of limitations. The 2015 through 2018 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities.

 

The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in interest and operating expenses. No interest or penalties were recorded for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISK

 

To date, the Company’s products have been sold to a limited number of wholesale customers, earlier primarily in the primarily in the automotive consumer products industry. During the fiscal year ended 2018 and 2017 sales consisted primarily of the Company’s new Jump products. Sales of individual Jump products are prepaid in advance and sales to distributors have terms of net 15 days or less while sales to retail chains have terms of 60 days. Sales through corporate office headquarters of major distributors can have payment terms of up to net 360 days to which the Company has not yet experienced. Throughout the year, cash balances that the Company maintains at financial institutions may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limitation of up to $250,000. Cash balances exceeded FDIC did not exceed such amount during fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. The Company reclassified accrued fees to Eagle Advisors to a source of funds from financing activities previously included as a source of funds in operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows. The reclassified financial statement items had no effect on Net Income (Loss) for the Year, Total Stockholders’ Deficit or Total Assets for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The Company is evaluating several pronouncements issued by the FASB which have recently or may result in the adoption by the Company of these standards in upcoming accounting periods as follows:

  

ASU 2016-02 — In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease standard that supersedes existing lease guidance under GAAP. This standard requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to existing lease guidance under GAAP. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, with the option to use certain relief. Full retrospective application is prohibited. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, which for us is our fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - (Continued)

   

ASU 2016-15  The FASB recently issued ASU 2016-15 to clarify whether the certain items should be categorized as operating, investing or financing in the statement of cash flows.  For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, which for us is our fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period, but all of the guidance is required to be adopted in the same period and any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact this accounting standards update will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

ASU 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) : Restricted Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) : The new standard requires the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.

These transactions are intended to provide liquidity and capital to the Company and are summarized below.

 

Arrangement #1

 

The Company entered into a convertible note on November 17, 2009, whereby the Company received a total of $186,000 of proceeds in connection with a new financing agreement with JMJ Financial. This transaction consists of the following: 1) a convertible note in the amount of $1,200,000 plus a one-time interest factor of 12% ($144,000) and a maturity date of September 23, 2012 and (2) a secured promissory note in the amount of $1,100,000 plus a one-time interest rate factor of 13.2% ($144,000 each) and a maturity date of September 23, 2012 due from the holder of the convertible note, of which the Company received a total of $150,000 of proceeds in connection with the second promissory note under this agreement. The convertible debenture converts into the Company’s common stock at 75% of the lowest trading price during the 20 trading days prior to conversion. Due to certain ratchet provisions contained in the convertible note the Company accounted for this conversion feature as a derivative liability. In connection herewith, at the commitment date, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $536,000 and a debt discount of $636,000. The debt discount was amortized over the term of the convertible note. At June 30, 2012, the outstanding convertible note balance of $372,060 was combined with the April 5, 2010 arrangement with JMJ Financial, Inc.

 

On December 15, 2009 the Company entered into a new financing agreement with JMJ Financial that consisted of the following: 1) a convertible note issued by the Company in the amount of $1,500,000 plus a one-time interest factor of 12% ($180,000) and a maturity date of December15, 2012 and (2) a secured promissory note in the amount of $1,400,000 plus a one-time interest rate factor of 13.2% ($180,000) and a maturity date of December 15, 2012 due from the holder of the convertible note. To date the Company has received a total of $300,000 of proceeds in connection with this promissory note and has issued no shares of common stock to the holder upon conversions. The convertible debenture converts into the Company’s common stock at 75% of the lowest trading price during the 20 trading days prior to conversion. Due to certain ratchet provisions contained in the convertible note the Company accounted for this conversion feature as a derivative liability. In connection herewith, at the commitment date, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $542,714 and debt discount of $642,714. The debt discount was amortized over the term of the convertible note. The Company and the holder entered into a Forbearance Agreement amendment, as amended, and additional funding and conversions have not occurred since April 2011. At June 30, 2012, the convertible note balance of $321,000 was combined with the April 5, 2010 arrangement with JMJ Financial, Inc.

To date the Company has received a total of $100,000 of proceeds in connection with this promissory note and has issued no shares of common stock to the holder upon conversions. The remaining $1,144,000 of proceeds to be received from the holder plus accrued and unpaid interest is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder. The convertible debenture converts into the Company’s common stock at 75% of the lowest trading price during the 20 trading days prior to conversion. Due to certain ratchet provisions contained in the convertible note the Company accounted for this conversion feature as a derivative liability. In connection herewith, at the commitment date, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $421,891 and debt discount of $521,891. The debt discount was amortized over the term of the convertible note. At June 30, 2012, the outstanding convertible note balance of $109,000 was combined with the November 17, 2009 and December 15, 2009 financing arrangements with JMJ Financial, Inc., for a total outstanding convertible note balance of $802,060. The Company has no promissory notes receivable from JMJ as of June 30, 2012.

 

In April of 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 effectively negated two notes River North Equity purchased from JMJ Financial. At June 30, 2017 the amount recorded in Current Liabilities for the two notes and accrued interest thereon subject to the River North Equity claim was $1,046,416. Such amount is included in the amount recorded in 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 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 the cancellation of debt which is included in other income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

 

The Company recorded $17,175 and $92,958 of interest expense on its arrangement with JMJ for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company commenced settlement negotiations with the Plaintiff after we explored options with regard to an appeal and other alternatives, which there is no guarantee of success.

The value of the forbearance debt obligation on June 30, 2016 was $756,218.

At various points during past fiscal years the Messrs. Durando, Dotoli and Smiley provided bridge loans to the Company evidenced by individual promissory notes and deferred compensation so as to provide working capital to the Company. All of these notes are payable on demand. These notes have been convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock since 2009. The Company amended the conversion feature to provide for the conversion of the remaining Officers’ loans into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.0004, representing the concurrent terms of private placements with accredited investors, for a term of five years effective March 31, 2014.

10. INCOME TAXES

 

Due to recurring losses for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s net tax provision was zero.

 

The difference between the effective income tax rate and the applicable statutory federal income tax rate is summarized as follows:

 

    2018     2017  
Statutory federal rate     (28.1 )%     (35.0 )%
State income tax rate, net of federal benefit     (5.6 )%     (5.6 )%
Permanent differences, including stock based compensation & beneficial conversion interset expense        34.5 %     15.9 %
Change in valuation allowance     (0.8 )%     24.7 %
                 
Effective tax rate     - %     - %

 

At June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s deferred tax assets were as follows:

 

Deferred Tax Liability   2018     2017  
                 
Property and equipment         -           -  
Total deferred tax liability     -       -  

 

Deferred Tax Assets   2018     2017  
             
Federal and state net operating loss carry forward     34,752,000       42,650,000  
Other temporary differences     -       -  
Total deferred tax asset     34,752,000       42,650,000  
Net deferred tax asset     34,752,000       42,650,000  
Less valuation allowance     (34,752,000 )     (42,650,000 )
    $ -     $ -  

 

The valuation allowance at June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $34,752,000 and $42,650,000, respectively. The valuation was reduced for a reduction in the total NOL carry forwards due to expiring loss years and the change in tax rate.

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $112.9 million and $56 million to offset future federal and state income taxes, respectively, which expire at various times from 2019 through 2037. The federal net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to the separate return loss limitation rules and IRC section 382 limitations due to changes in ownership. The Company has assessed the evidence of its forecasted future operations against the potential likelihood of the realization of the deferred tax assets to make the determination that the Company will not utilize these carry forwards and has recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset.

 

Effective December 22, 2017 a new tax bill was signed into law that reduced the federal income tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21%. The new bill reduced the blended tax rate for the Company from 35.0% to 28.1%. The change in blended tax rate reduced the 2018 net operating loss carry forward deferred tax assets by approximately $5.1 million.

10. INCOME TAXES - (Continued)  

 

The provision for income taxes from continuing operations differs from taxes that would result from applying Federal statutory rates to Book Income because of the following:   

 

The Company had estimated net tax losses of $352,500 and $173,191 in 2018 and in 2017. Deferred income taxes relate principally to the use of net operating loss carry forwards; these can differ from computations based upon book losses for the use for tax purposes of accelerated depreciation methods and the difference in the book and tax basis of certain stock-based compensation, beneficial conversion interest expense and the effect of debt cancellation income.  

 

At June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018 and 2017.

 

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

COMMITMENTS

 

The Company had leased a warehouse and limited office space in Norwalk, Connecticut, commencing in April of 2015 with a monthly rental of $2,200 per month. The Company vacated the Norwalk premise in April 2016 and the Company moved its warehouse contents, primarily inventory and associated shipping materials of its mPower battery products into the Clifton premise. The Company had $22,000 of unpaid rent in accounts payable at June 30, 2018 and 2017.  

 

Presently the Company has relocated its office, which includes modest office space, limited storage and utilities, to 688 New Dorp Lane, Staten Island, New York, on May 1, 2017, the rental terms included a three-month commitment; renewable 3 months at a time, with monthly rent of $400 plus limited utilities.  

  

CONTINGENCIES  

 

The Company had been in litigation with John Fife with respect to a Convertible Note originally issued on September 13, 2011 in the principal amount of $557,000. Fife sought damages on a Motion for Summary Judgment in the amount in excess of $1,300,000 attorney’s fees. On December 15, 2014 the federal district court in the North East District of Illinois found in favor of Fife on a motion for Summary Judgment. The Company has entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Fife as a result of negotiations to settle such Judgment.  

 

The value of the forbearance obligation on June 30, 2018 is $885,364 (See Note 8), all of which are included in current liabilities at that date. The value of the judgment totaled approximately $1.6 million as of December 31, 2014 and bears a punitive interest rate of 16% and would become payable in full if the Company defaults under the forbearance obligation reduced by payments under the Forbearance Agreement, which through June 30, 2018 totals $250,000 or approximately, $1.35 million. Through June 30, 2018 the Company has not been notified it has defaulted under the agreement. The Forbearance agreement requires the Company to place, and the Company has done so, 1,000,000,000 shares in reserve with its transfer agent, to satisfy the conversion provisions for any unpaid monthly cash payments, which through June 30, 2016, 812,500,000 shares from this reserve have been issued to satisfy the conversion provisions. During the first quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 187,500,000 shares were issued from this reserve and no amounts remain under the reserve agreement with our transfer agent. There were no conversions by Fife in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 or additions to the reserve in such period.

 

On August 18, 2017 the Company entered into a Judgment Settlement Agreement with John Fife with respect to the Judgment in favor of Fife, which reduces the balance under the amended agreement to $360,000, without conversion rights, in connection with the default by the Company under a Convertible Debenture dated September 13, 2011.

 

On February 16, 2018 the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement with John Fife modifying the payment schedule for repayment of the Convertible Debenture issued on September 11, 2013 that was the subject of a Summary Judgment in favor of Fife on December 15, 2015. Under the amendment the Company is obligated to pay beginning on October 16, 2018 either a lump sum payment of $275,000 or $375,000 in monthly installments of $15,000 each.

  

As of June 30, 2018, this forbearance obligation would only be convertible for monthly obligations the Company elects to/or does not pay in cash in part or in full, for: (i) up to 625,000,000 shares immediately for the satisfaction of the next required monthly payment, and (ii) up to 11,067,050,000 shares of our common stock should the entire obligation be converted.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Effective July 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,  Fair Value Measurements,  now known as FASB ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.

 

Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is input is unobservable. Level 3 financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2019

(Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The financial statements contained herein have been adjusted to reflect a 5000/1 reverse split of the Common Stock of the Company effective on May 20, 2019.

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “We”) was organized on October 2, 1996. Since 2007 the Company has been in the business of developing new products through the science of nanotechnology and micro-fluid dynamics. The Company has made significant progress in developing a reserve battery with an unlimited shelf life prior to initial activation. Our patent portfolio consists of intellectual property covering the “smart surfaces” that liquids in droplets can be suspended upon and collapse upon initial activation by either an electrical impulse or a g force. The Company intends to develop other potential products such as a drug delivery system using such scientific disciplines to monetize its patent portfolio.

 

On January 4, 2019, the Company filed an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation in the State of New Jersey, pursuant to approval by its Board of Directors, to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 72 billion shares to 125 billion shares of no-par stock. In addition, the Company in such Amendment created a new class of 1000 shares of a Series A super voting preferred Stock

 

On January 11, 2019, the Company underwent a major change in management and focus to restructure its business. The Company intends to broaden and diversify its existing lines of business. The Company will implement its revised plan of operations either directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries. Such restructuring will include a combination of raising additional capital to improve our balance sheet and aggressive pursuit of mergers and acquisitions.

 

On January 11, 2019, the Company, Prior Management and Mr. Anshu Bhatnagar executed contracts including a transition agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) under which the Company’s prior management was largely replaced. Mr. Bhatnagar is also the President and CEO of Verus International, Inc. (ticker symbol “VRUS”) a publicly-held company.

 

Messrs. Dotoli, and Smiley each resigned as Directors and Officers of the Company, Mr. Biderman and Mr. Lawrence resigned as outside Directors. Mr. Bhatnagar became a Director, and new President and CEO, and acquired control of the Company. Mr. Durando remained as a Director of the Company through March 15, 2019 at which time he resigned. Mr. Smiley was reappointed on January 28, 2018, as our Chief Financial Officer. It is expected that Mr. Smiley will hold the foregoing position on an interim basis to provide continuity during the Transition period.

 

The Transition Agreement provides 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 on December 31, 2018, within six (6) months of January 11, 2019. (See Notes 4 and 5)

 

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 “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 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 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 April 22, 2019 (see also “Subsequent Events”) the Company filed a Definitive Schedule 14C information statement with the SEC 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. The purpose of the Reverse Split is as follows:

 

  F- 28  
     

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

Raise our stock price to more attractive levels:

 

A higher stock price would return our share price to a price level typical of share prices of other widely owned public companies. The Board of Directors believes that a higher share price of the Company’s common stock may meet investment guidelines for certain institutional investors and investment funds.

 

Reduce transaction costs to our shareowners:

 

Our shareowners may benefit from relatively lower trading costs for a higher priced stock. We believe many investors pay commissions when they buy or sell the Company’s common stock based upon the number of shares traded. Because of our relatively low stock price, investors are required to pay more commissions to trade a fixed dollar amount than they would have to pay if our stock price was higher. In addition, shareowners owning very few shares may not have an economic way to sell their shares. If these shareowners are left with only fractional shares as a result of a reverse stock split, their interests can be liquidated without transaction costs, as we would absorb those costs.

 

Allow Shareholders to Deposit with their Broker newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock

 

Brokers and their Clearing Agents are not currently accepting deposits of newly issued shares of sub-penny stocks. Very few brokers will accept such deposits of a stock with a price less than $1.00 per share. This inhibits the ability of the Company to raise additional capital through sales of its common stock since investors face the uncertainty of when and if the share price of the Company’s common stock will become eligible for deposit and sale.

 

The reverse split became effective on May 20, 2019.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended ending March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended June 30, 2018.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

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

 

Through March 31, 2019, the Company had incurred (a) cumulative losses totaling ($213,374,998) and (b) a stockholders’ deficit of ($1,793,593). At March 31, 2019, the Company had $25,334 of cash to fund short-term working capital requirements and cash used in operating activities was ($149,371) for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. In addition, the Company relies on the continuation of funding through private placements of its common stock. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this quarterly report. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

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.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. The Company reclassified accrued fees of $5,000 to Eagle Advisors to a source of funds from financing activities previously included as a source of funds in operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows in 2018. The reclassified financial statement items had no effect on Net Income (Loss) for the Quarter, Total Stockholders’ Deficit or Total Assets for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2018.

 

  F- 29  
     

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include net realizable value of inventories, estimated value of stock-based compensation and changes in and the ending fair value of derivative liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company had no warrants or options to purchase shares of its common stock outstanding at March 31, 2019.

 

At March 31, 2019 the Company has convertible securities held by third parties that are immediately convertible into 17,078 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company has convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon held by officers and a Director of the Company, subject to availability from the settlement reserve, convertible into approximately 291,012 shares of common stock, immediately. There are an estimated 39,313,000 total shares on a post-split basis issuable under the warrant that are attainable under the agreement with Mr. Anshu Bhatnagar as of March 31, 2019.

 

The following table illustrates debts convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at March 31, 2019:

Revenue and Expense Recognition for Discontinued Operations

 

The Company had recognized revenue on its JUMP products when the products were shipped, and title passed to the customer.

 

The results of discontinued operations include only specifically identified in the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and both specifically identified and allocated common overhead expenses in the period ended March 31, 2018.

PATENTS AND LICENSES

 

Patents and licenses are capitalized when mPhase determines there will be a future benefit derived from such assets and are stated at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally five years. As of March 31, 2019, the book value of such assets, or $214,383, has been fully amortized.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation” and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grants. (SEE NOTE 3 and 5 ‘Warrant(s)” and “Stock Based Compensation”)

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.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

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.

 

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.

3. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS, NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE DEBT – (continued)

 

Warrant agreement (s) and warrant cap compensation costs

 

The Company entered into warrant agreement (s) with Mr. Bhatnagar containing provisions to acquire up to 80% (the warrant cap) of the Company’s common stock based upon the generation of new revenues by the Company. The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation” and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at the fair value of the share-based payments, and for accounting purposes the warrant has the characteristics of a Non- Qualified stock option. The agreement provides defined revenue targets and the generally provide for milestones equivalent to options for 4% of the Company’s common stock for qualified revenue attained subsequent to January 11, 2019; the commencement date of Mr. Bhatnagar’s employment with the Company.

 

The Earned Warrants represent equity-based compensation given to an employee and is in the scope of ASC 718. The accounting treatment of such awards requires an evaluation as to the timing of the employee’s requisite service period (“RSP”) and the grant date: With respect to these warrants, the grant date is when i.) A mutual understanding of the award’s key terms and conditions has been reached; ii.) The Company is contingently obligated to issue shares to employees who fulfill vesting conditions; iii.) An employee begins to benefit from, or be adversely affected by, subsequent changes in stock price; iv.) Awards are approved by the board of directors or management, as required; and v.) The recipient meets the definition of an employee. The Company has used Mr. Bhatnagar’s employment date as the grant date for valuation purposes and the obligation is contingent upon the attainment of revenue which is a vesting condition yet to commence. Through March 31, 2019 no warrants have been “earned” nor have become issuable under the agreement; and as such no estimated expense for amortization of the unvested and unrecognized compensation estimated should the agreement become fulfilled. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we recognized no non-cash compensation expense in connection with this agreement.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has estimated. by application of a Black Scholes option pricing model that approximately $19,656,741 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 term requisite service or vesting period to earn the conditions of the warrant. There are an estimated 39,313,000 total shares issuable under the warrant on a post-split basis that are attainable under the agreement as of March 31, 2019.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards and warrant issuances. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the Black - Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

 

    Three months ended March 31,  
    2019  
Expected volatility     544 %
Expected term     5 Years  
Risk-free interest rate     2% - 2.4 %
Forfeiture Rate     0.00 %
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %

 

The expected volatility was determined with reference to the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of grant. The shares are only issuable upon the attainment of revenue.

 

Other Short-Term Notes

 

Note Payable, Director

 

A Director of the Company loaned the Company funds for working capital and through June 30, 2018 $130,274 remained outstanding. On September 24, 2018 and December 31, 2018, this director converted $126,364 and $4,369 of this note into 252,729 and 17,475 shares of common stock (adjusted for the reverse split described above), on the respective dates; and as a result, $1,478 remained outstanding on March 31, 2019. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company recorded $1,937 and $5,926 of accrued interest on this loan.

The convertible debenture converts into the Company’s common stock at 75% of the lowest trading price during the 20 trading days prior to conversion.

The original agreement also provided that the Company file a Proxy statement before June 1, 2015 should additional shares be needed for the conversion reserve. The Company has not filed such a proxy statement due to cost prohibitions. As of June 30, 2018, 1,000,000,000 pre-split shares; or 200,000 shares of common stock (adjusted for the reverse split described above), have been issued with respect to payment obligations under the forbearance agreement, as amended and no amounts remain, in reserve.

The debt discount was amortized over the term of the convertible note. All proceeds received in connection with the proceeds of the financing used by the Company as working capital.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company recorded $600 and $536 interest on this agreement.

 

At March 31, 2019 the note balance was $3,339 and accrued interest of $3,718 at 12% per annum, remained due under this agreement. At June 30, 2018 the note balance was $3,333 and accrued interest of $3,118, at 12% per annum; remained due under this agreement. Based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 this Note is convertible into approximately 36,022,222 and 107,516,667 pre-split shares of common stock or 7,604 and 21,503 shares of common stock on a post-split basis, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, there was no derivative liability associated with this convertible note payable.

 

On April 10, 2019 the Company repaid $3,000 that was accepted as payment, in full, of the Convertible Note by M.H Investment Trust II (See “Subsequent Events”)

 

Judgement Settlement Agreement

 

The Company entered into a “Judgment Settlement Agreement” effective December 10, 2018 by and between John M. Fife, an individual (“Lender”), and mPhase Technologies, Inc. The Judgment Settlement Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between Borrower. The agreement required a $15,000 execution payment, which we paid in December 2018; and subsequently the agreement offers three payment options- the first two options have material settlements amounts which would be due during the Quarter ending March 31, 2019 –(short term options); Or the 3 rd option which calls for $15,000 monthly payments throughout calendar 2019 and a January 15, 2020 lump sum final payment (long term option);

 

The initial and revised payment schedule of the Judgement Settlement Agreement are as follows:

 

(a) $15,000, which amount has been paid upon execution of this Agreement, plus (b) either

 

(i) $265,000, provided such amount is received by Lender on or before January 15, 2019, -(expired) as revised to

(ii) $280,000, provided such amount is received by Lender on or before February 15, 2019, (expired))

or

 

  F- 39  
     

 

Judgement Settlement Agreement – (continued)

 

iii) $375,000, which amount, if Borrower elects this option, shall be payable as follows:

(1) Borrower shall make a payment to Lender in the amount of $15,000. On or before January 15, 2019, and

(2) Borrower shall continue making payments of $15,000 each month until January 15, 2020, when Borrower shall pay to Lender the entire unpaid portion of the Settlement Amount (which would be equal to $195,000).

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid $45,000 applying $28,004 to principle and $16,996 to interest. During the nine months March 31, 2019 and 2018 recorded a total of $50,546 and $58,886 interest expense on the preceding forbearance and current judgement settlement agreement. On March 31, 2019 the judgement settlement agreement, which satisfies the Fife obligation in full, totaled $890,910. The Company has foregone the short-term option and the agreement reverted to the long option of the Judgement Settlement Agreement during the quarter ending March 31, 2019.

 

Under the Judgement Settlement Agreement $310,910 is included in the line item “Current Portion, liabilities, in arears,- Judgement Settlement Agreement” and $580,000 in the line item “Long term portion, liabilities, in arrears,- Judgement Settlement Agreement” in the liabilities section of the Company’s Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019.

 

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

5. CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company had been in litigation with John Fife with respect to a Convertible Note originally issued on September 13, 2011 in the principal amount of $557,000. Fife sought damages on a Motion for Summary Judgment in an amount in excess of $1,300,000 and attorney’s fees. On December 15, 2014 the federal district court in the North East District of Illinois found in favor of Fife on a motion for Summary Judgment. The Company had entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Fife as a result of negotiations to settle such Judgment. The convertible provisions with respect to the Debt of Mr. Fife are no longer in effect and no shares of our common stock are eligible to be converted.

 

Judgement Settlement Agreement

 

The Company entered into a “Judgment Settlement Agreement” to satisfy, in full, the Forbearance Agreement with Mr. Fife discussed above, effective December 10, 2018, by and between John M. Fife, an individual (“Lender”), and mPhase Technologies, Inc. The Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Company and Mr. Fife. The Company has reverted to the long term option under this Agreement, as revised, in full, by paying Mr. Fife the gross payments of $15,000 per month, which commenced in December 2018, and continue each month thereafter from January 2019 through December 2019 with a lump sum balloon payment of $195,000 due in January 2020. Through March 31, 2019 the Company has made payments of $45,000 towards this Agreement. The “Current Portion, liabilities in arears- Judgement Settlement Agreement” is $310,910 and $580,000 is included on the line item “Long term portion, liabilities in arears- Judgement Settlement Agreement” in the liabilities section of the Company’s Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019.

 

Should the Company satisfy this Fife liability as described above of the Judgement Settlement Agreement we would realize a gain on such settlement of approximately $580,000 (see also note 3).

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Effective July 1, 2008, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10-20, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. ASC 820-10-20 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10-20 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820-10-20 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Financial assets and liabilities valued using level 1 inputs are based on unadjusted quoted market prices within active markets. Financial assets and liabilities valued using level 2 inputs are based primarily on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets. For certain long-term debt, the fair value was based on present value techniques using inputs derived principally or corroborated from market data. Financial assets and liabilities using level 3 inputs were primarily valued using management’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value are consistently applied.

 

Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

 

Some of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables.

 

At March 31, 2019, the carrying value of the notes payable and accrued interest for convertible agreements, the Judgement Settlement Agreement and officers’ notes was approximately $1,195,000, of which $580,000 would be extinguished resulting in gain on debt extinguishments if the Company completes the Judgement Settlement agreement on its currently revised terms. The JMJ convertible notes, which were originally due at various times through December 31, 2012, are accruing at a revised interest rate of 8%. Refer to Note 3 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information about the Company’s notes payable as of March 31, 2019.

I tem 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;

 

  63  
     

 

(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.
