mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE
COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was organized on October 2, 1996 and is in the development stage, as defined by Statement of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 915-10-20, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises." The Companys present activities are focused on developing new smart surface products through the sciences of microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. Since mPhase is in the development stage, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as typical for normal operating periods.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited 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 of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for them nine months ending March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Through March 31, 2012, the Company had incurred cumulative (a) development stage losses totaling $201,499,463, (b) stockholders deficit of $4,291,800 and (c) negative cash flow from operations equal to $88,412,693. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $1,776 of cash and $0 of trade receivables to fund short-term working capital requirements. In addition, the Company relies on the continuation of funding under certain convertible securities agreements (See Note 3). The Companys 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) allow the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its products.
INVENTORY
The Company uses the First In First Out method (FIFO) to account for inventory which is carried at cost. As of June 30, 2011, inventory consisted primarily of Emergency Flashlights and their component parts and was valued at $102,532. As of March 31, 2012, (unaudited) inventory consisted primarily of Emergency Flashlights and was valued at $99,942. Appropriate reserves have been taken to assure that the cost of such inventory does not exceed the expected resale value of each configuration of the component parts as specified for the current and pending higher end models of the Emergency Flashlight line.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company had warrants to purchase 19,323,974 shares of its common stock and options to purchase 109,825,000 shares of its common stock outstanding at March 31, 2012, as well as convertible debentures and convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon held by officers of the Company convertible into approximately 740,268,495 and 253,632,468 shares of the Companys common stock based upon the conversion terms at March 31, 2012. 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.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The Company has estimated the value of the derivative liability associated with its convertible debt. Such estimate is based on a Black Scholes calculation at the time the debt was issued. At each reporting period, the value of this liability is marked to market and adjusted accordingly. Such adjustments are included in Other Income (Expense).
EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
The Company entered into a $10,000,000 equity line of Credit with Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LLC in December of 2011. Under the equity line, the Company is eligible to PUT to the fund, 20,000,000 shares of its common stock during any pricing period. The Company has registered a total of 250,000,000 shares of its common stock on a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was declared effective on January 17, 2012 in connection with the Dutchess Equity Line. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has received $145,428 of proceeds under the Equity Line relating to the resale of 89,587,447 shares of the Company’s common stock, net of $13,500 transaction fees, of which $4726 was received in April. The amount of proceeds to be received under the Equity Line will depend upon the stock price of the Company at the various points in time it exercises the Put Option.

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

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
The Company has offered and sold convertible notes to JMJ Financial in the aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of $10,270,400 through March 31, 2012. Such convertible notes provide cash funding to the Company of up to $9,500,600. Through March 31, 2012, approximately $6,472,000 of cash has been received by the Company, $6,273,050 of which has been converted by JMJ Financial into a substantial number of shares of common stock without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or qualification under state securities laws. The Company believes that any sales of common stock by JMJ are in full compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has obtained an opinion of outside counsel regarding such compliance.
Nevertheless, it is possible such compliance could be challenged in the future by either regulatory agencies or shareholders. In particular, questions regarding the economic risk of JMJ Financial with respect to the collateral required under the secured note delivered by JMJ Financial in payment of the purchase price for the Company’s convertible note could be raised since the secured note contains a prepayment provision allowing JMJ to prepay such note, in full, by returning the convertible note. If a court of law determines that any offer or sale of common stock of the Company received in a conversion by JMJ Financial was not in compliance with Rule 144 then JMJ could be deemed to be an underwriter. The result would be that the Company would have been engaged in a primary offering of common stock through an underwriter in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
16
The Securities Act of 1933, as amended, requires that any claim for rescission is brought within one year of the violation. The time periods within which claims for rescission must be brought under state securities laws vary and may be two years or more from the date of the violation. At March 31, 2012, approximately 120 million shares of our outstanding common stock issued in respect of our convertible note transactions with JMJ Financial could still be subject to rescission with a potential liability approximating $1.33 million, including a liability of approximately $220,000 for interest at 10% per annum.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time mPhase may be involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business.

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 GAAP. 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 managements assumptions about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value are consistently applied.
The table below presents reconciliation for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011:
Fair Value | ||||||
Measurements | ||||||
Using Significant | ||||||
Unobservable Inputs | ||||||
(Level 3) | ||||||
Derivative Liability | ||||||

Balance at July 1 | $ | 4,577,110 | 1,664,575 | |||
Decrease in Derivative Liability | (3,108,331 | ) | (1,791,357 | ) | ||
Debt Discounts | 1,631,744 | 263,170 | ||||
Balance at March 31 | $ | 3,101,123 | 136,388 |
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 Companys financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables.
We have determined that it is not practical to estimate the fair value of our notes payable because of their unique nature and the costs that would be incurred to obtain an independent valuation. We do not have comparable outstanding debt on which to base an estimated current borrowing rate or other discount rate for purposes of estimating the fair value of the notes payable and we have not been able to develop a valuation model that can be applied consistently in a cost efficient manner. These factors all contribute to the impracticability of estimating the fair value of the notes payable. At March 31, 2012, the carrying value of the notes payable and accrued interest for convertible agreements and officers notes was approximately $2.3 million. The JMJ convertible notes, which are due at various times through December 31, 2012, yield an interest rate of 12%. Refer to Note 3 of these financial statements for more information about the Companys notes payable.

mPhase is a development stage company specializing in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. mPhase is in the process of 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 other product applications including medical oxygen generation, hot/cold packs and emergency lighting.
mPhase has completed a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) grant, part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, with 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, and since July 1, 2007, we have focused primarily upon development of our smart reserve battery and other battery and illuminator products.

Description of Operations Microfluidics, MEMS, and Nanotechnology
In February of 2004, mPhase entered the business of developing new products based on materials whose properties and behavior are controlled at the micrometer and nanometer scales. (For reference, a micrometer or micron is equal one millionth (10 -6) of a meter and a nanometer is one billionth (10 -9) of a meter – the scale of atoms and molecules. A human hair is approximately 50 microns in diameter, or 50,000 nanometers thick.) The Company has expertise and capabilities in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and nanotechnology. Microfluidics refers to the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small, typically micrometer scale. MEMS is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology. Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter (atoms and molecules) on the nanometer length scale (1-100 nanometers), and exploitation of novel phenomena and properties (physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical) at that length scale. In its Smart NanoBattery, mPhase exploits the physical phenomenon of electrowetting by which a voltage is used to change the wetting properties of a liquid/solid interface at the nanometer scale. Consider water as the liquid. Through electrowetting, mPhase can change a surface from what is referred to as a hydrophobic ("water fearing") state to a hydrophilic ("water loving") 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.
In the Smart NanoBattery application, mPhase uses electrowetting as a new technique to activate or literally "turn on" a battery once it is ready to be used for the first time. At the heart of the Smart NanoBattery is a porous, nanostructured superhydrophic or superlyophobic membrane designed and fabricated by mPhase. The so-called superhydrophobic membrane applies to water and the superlyophobic membrane applies to nonaqueous or organic liquids such as ethanol or mineral oil. The difference between the two membrane types lies in the nanoscale architecture at the surface. By virtue of its superhydrophobic or superlyophobic character, the membrane, although porous, is able to physically separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes so that the battery remains dormant or inactive, thus providing no voltage or current until called upon. This electrolyte-electrode separation gives the battery the feature of potentially unlimited shelf life and the benefit of being always ready when needed, which is not necessarily the case for conventional batteries. Electrowetting alters the liquid/membrane interface so that the liquid is now able to flow over the membrane’s surface and rapidly move through the pores where it is able to contact the solid electrode materials located on the other side of the membrane.
mPhase uses MEMS to precisely control the machining of silicon-based materials at the micrometer and nanometer scales. This ability has led to the Company’s proprietary membrane design that controls the wetting and movement of liquids on a solid surface. mPhase uses microfluidics to control the flow of liquid electrolyte through the porous membrane and this is also the basis for other possible applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, filtration and separation and liquid delivery systems.
History of Nanotechnology Operations Smart NanoBattery
mPhase Technologies along with Bell Labs jointly conducted research from February 2004 through April of 2007 that demonstrated control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic and superlyophobic surfaces to create a new type of battery or energy storage device with power management features obtained by controlling the wetting behavior of a liquid electrolyte on a solid surface. The scientific research conducted set the ground work for continued development of the Smart NanoBattery and formed a path to commercialization of the technology for a broad range of market opportunities. During 2005 and 2006, the battery team tested modifications and enhancements to the internal design of the battery to optimize its power and energy density characteristics, as well as making engineering improvements that were essential in moving the battery from a zinc-based chemistry to a commercial lithium-based chemistry that can be manufactured on a large scale. The Company began its efforts by entering into a $1.2 million 12 month Development Agreement with the Bell Labs division of Alcatel/Lucent for exploratory research of control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic surfaces to create power cells ( batteries) by controlling wetting behavior of an electrolyte on nanostructured electrode surfaces. The goal was to develop a major breakthrough in battery technology creating batteries with longer shelf lives as the result of no direct electrode contact (meaning no power drain prior to activation). The Company extended its development effort twice for an additional 2 years ending in March of 2007 and for two additional periods thereafter through July 31, 2007. During this time, the technical focus shifted from trying to separate the liquid electrolyte from nanostructured electrodes to developing a nanostructured membrane that could physically separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes.
21
mPhase also began working with the Rutgers University Energy Storage Research Group (ESRG) in July of 2005 to conduct contract research in advanced battery chemistries involving lithium. This work involved characterizing and testing materials that could be used in the mPhase battery. In July of 2007, the relationship shifted to a collaboration focused on developing a memory backup battery needed by the U.S. Army. The work was funded through a Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) grant.
In July of 2007, mPhase formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Always Ready, Inc., to focus on the development of its nanotechnology products. The Company has used this subsidiary as a division of the Company in order to develop increasing brand recognition of its battery product. The Company decided in September of 2007 to transfer its development work out of Bell Labs (Alcatel/Lucent) in order to broaden its nanotechnology product commercialization efforts. Prior to such time mPhase was limited to development using zinc-based batteries since Bell Labs did not have facilities to handle lithium chemistry. mPhase continued to work with Rutgers ESRG that has facilities capable of handing lithium battery development and also engaged in work with other companies to supply essential components, fabricate prototypes, and plan manufacturing approaches. These companies included a well-respected silicon foundry and battery manufacturer.
In February of 2008, the Company announced that a prototype of its Smart NanoBattery was successfully deployed in a gun-fired test at the Aberdeen Proving Ground at Maryland. The test was conducted by the U.S. Army Armament Research and Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) of Picatinny, New Jersey. The battery not only survived the harsh conditions of deployment at a gravitational force in excess of 45,000 g, but was also flawlessly activated in the process.
In March of 2008, mPhase announced that it had been invited to submit a proposal for a Phase II STTR grant based upon the successful work it had performed on the Phase I grant to develop a version of the Smart NanoBattey referred to as the multi-cell, micro-array reserve battery for a critical U.S. Army memory backup application. The Phase II grant in the gross amount of $750,000 (net $500,000) was granted to the Company in the middle of September of 2008. In March of 2008, the Company also announced the successful transfer to a commercial foundry of certain processes critical to the manufacturing of its Smart NanoBattery. This enabled fabrication of the porous membranes for the multi-cell, micro-array reserve battery mentioned above. The Company successfully manufactured nanostructured membranes at the foundry that are essential to commercial production of the battery. By achieving a series of delayed activations, the shelf-life and continuous run-time of such battery is increased to a period of time in excess of twenty years. In April of 2008, the Company announced that it had successfully activated its first Smart NanoBattery prototype by electrowetting using a hard-wired configuration and a remotely-activated device. Remote activation plays a key role in providing power to wireless sensors systems and RFID tags.
Also, in April of 2008, the Company announced that it had successfully produced its first lithium-based reserve battery with a soft or pouch package and breakable separator (in place of the electrowettable membrane) that relies on mechanical rather than electrical activation to provide Power On Command™. The Company believes that it is a significant milestone in moving from a low energy density zinc-based battery to a higher energy density lithium-based battery towards proving that the Smart NanoBattery will eventually be economically and commercially viable.
In fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2011, 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 has recently completed such Phase II Army grant. On November 12, of 2010, the Company announced that it had successfully triggered and activated its first functional multi-cell smart nano battery. Triggering and activation of the cells of the battery were achieved by using the technique of electrowetting or programmable triggering. Triggering was accomplished by applying a pulse of electrical energy to a porous, smart surface membrane located inside each cell in the battery causing the electrolyte to come in contact with the cell’s electrodes, creating the chemical reaction to produce voltage inside of the multi-cell battery. The multi-cell battery consists of a matrix of 12 individual cells populated with an electrode stack consisting of lithium and carbon monofluoride materials with each rated at 3.0 volts. Using a custom designed circuit board for testing, each of the cells in the battery were independently triggered and activated without affecting any of the non-activated cells in the multi-cell configuration. Each cell in the battery has a very long shelf-life prior to triggering.
On February 9, 2011, the Company announced that it had signed a 3 year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny, New Jersey, to continue to cooperatively test and evaluate the mPhase Smart NanoBattery, including new design features functionally appropriate for DoD based systems requiring portable power sources. The army researchers are evaluating the prototypes using the Army’s testing facilities at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey in order to determine applicability of the technology to gun fired munitions and potentially to incorporate the technologies into research and development and other programs sponsored by Picatinny. The Research Agreement is supported by the Fuze & Precision Armaments Technology Directorate.
In March of 2012, the Company accepted an invitation to visit a Cluster of International Technology research and development in Grenoble, France. The Cluster is made up on multinational companies and sponsored by various agencies of the French Government to perform advanced technology research is the area of energy storage devices, micro fluidics and nanotechnology. The Company is continuing exploratory negotiations with 3 potential strategic partners each of which is a member of the cluster to “custom tailor” its intellectual property and component products for use in a commercial end product.

Emergency Flashlight
On December 5, 2008, mPhase Technologies, Inc. signed a contract with Porsche Design Gesellschaft m.b.H. in Austria (“Porsche Design’ Studio”), to design a premium version of the AlwaysReady Emergency Flashlight. A pilot program that began in March of 2010 has resulted in the sale of approximately 56 emergency flashlights. The flashlight sold in the pilot program contained mPhase’s proprietary mechanically-activated lithium reserve battery. The battery contains a breakable barrier that separates the solid electrodes from the liquid electrolyte until the battery is manually activated. Unlike traditional batteries, the mPhase battery remains in an inert state with no leakage or self-discharge until activation. The mPhase battery is designed to have an almost infinite shelf life making it ideal for emergency lighting applications. The premium flashlight will be marketed as an accessory for automobile roadside emergency kits.
On January 29, 2009, the Company announced that it had contracted with EaglePicher Technologies to design and manufacture, in small quantities, its mechanically-activated battery that were used in the pilot program of sales of the Company’s new Emergency Flashlight. EaglePicher was selected for the project because of their experience in custom and standardized power solutions for the extreme environments of aerospace and military applications as well as medical and commercial applications.
The reserve battery is a manually activated lithium cell designed to provide Power On Command. The battery remains dormant until “turned on” by the user. It is built to the highest standards with a minimum storage life of 20 years. Once activated, the reserve battery is expected to deliver the electrical performance of a standard primary CR123 battery used in many portable electronic applications today.
EaglePicher Technologies, LLC, along with EaglePicher Company, is a world leader in custom and standardized power solutions for the extreme environments of aerospace and military applications as well as medical and commercial applications. The company specializes in design and manufacture of battery cells, battery packaging, battery management systems (BMS), analysis, environmental testing, and energetic devices. Active in battery development and testing since 1922, EaglePicher Technologies has the most experience and broadest capability in battery electrochemistry of any battery supplier.
Owing to cost considerations, the Company has decided to utilize a cost reduced active-reserve battery in its current version of its emergency flashlight product for potential sales after the pilot program. Such active reserve battery also has a very long shelf life and enables the Company to significantly reduce the selling price of the Emergency Flashlight. In March 2011,the Company received an initial order from Porsche Design Group in Germany for mPhase’s Porsche design branded mPower Emergency illuminators to be sold in Porsche Design stores in Germany, Great Britain and the United States and it began shipments of the Emergency Illuminators in April of 2011.
The Company is planning a cost-reduction of its luxury illuminator product in order to penetrate a higher volume sales channel beyond the higher end market.
Magnetometer
In March of 2005, the Company entered into a second Development Agreement for 12 months at a cost of $1.2 million with the Bell Labs to develop MEMS-based ultrasensitive magnetic sensor devices, also known as magnetometers, that could be used in military and commercial electronics ( e.g., cell phones) for determining location, as well as in portable security and metal detection applications. The agreement was renewed in April of 2006 for another 12 months. Although proven to work in the lab, the magnetometer technology could not be scaled up as quickly and as cost effectively as the Company’s nano battery. The project was suspended in September 2007 so that all technical resources could be allocated to the nano battery project.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Revenues. Since July 1, 2007, quarterly revenue, if any, has primarily been attributable to grants from the United States Army and testing arrangements involving its nanotechnology products. The Company is not currently working on any research in connection with government grants. The Company plans to apply for further STTR and SBIR grants with respect to its nanotechnology research and product development efforts. The Company also derived minor revenues in connection with sales of its emergency flashlight product under an initial pilot program that commenced in March of 2010.
Cost of revenues. Cost associated with revenues from Army Grants and fees for testing our nanotechnology products is currently very low. It is anticipated that the Company’s cost of revenues will increase significantly as the Company moves forward with the commercialization and distribution of its emergency flashlight product and other potential products associated with its mechanically-activated reserve battery.
Research and development. Research and development expenses have consisted principally of direct labor and payments made to MKE manufacturing (an approved vendor of Porsche), Porsche Design Studio and Microphase Corporation in connection with the Company’s Emergency Illuminator product and to Silex, a foundry located in Sweden, as well as other third party vendors involved in the development of the nanotechnology products. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such expenses are expected to increase in the next fiscal year as the Company introduces a second automotive product into the market and pursues design and development of a cost reduced flashlight product.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in its nanotechnology product line, legal and accounting personnel. In addition the Company form time to time will use outside consultants. Certain administrative activities are outsourced on a monthly fee basis to Microphase Corporation and mPhase leases its office in Norwalk, Connecticut from Microphase Corporation.
Non-cash compensation charges . The Company makes extensive use of stock, stock options and warrants as a form of compensation to employees, directors and outside consultants. We incurred non-cash compensation charges totaling $77,023,989 from inception (October 2, 1996) through March 31, 2012.
Other Income (Expense). Included in Other Expense are non-recurring items related to the change in the value of derivative securities and amortization as related debt discount. Such amounts will fluctuate significantly and should not be considered as recurring or in any way indicative of operating results. In addition, it has been the Company’s policy to record as an expense the cost of re-pricing securities (Reparation Cost) to raise capital.
Cumulative losses, net worth and capital needs
The Company has incurred cumulative development stage losses of $201,499,463 and negative cash flow from operations of $88,412,693 from inception through March 31, 2012. The auditors’ report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 includes the statement that "there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern". As of March 31, 2012, the Company had a negative net worth of ($4,291,800) compared to a negative net worth of ($5,591,774) as of June 30, 2011 as a result of continuing net losses, reduced in the current three months primarily by conversions of convertible notes and accrued interest in excess of the net loss for the current period.
The Company has convertible notes funded with JMJ Financial. Draws under this facility for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 amounted to $0 (accounted for as a pay-down of notes receivable) and also the collection of $0 of accrued interest (included in the statement of operations). The Company has significant overhang from funded and unconverted portion of these convertible notes in excess of $1,400,000 convertible into 740,268,495 shares of common stock. The Company anticipates it will need to establish new and additional funding sources for the remaining portion of fiscal year 2012 and for fiscal year 2013. The Company raised $72,000 from private placements of 20 million shares of its common stock plus a $53,000 Convertible Note and $35,000 Convertible Note issued to an Accredited Investor during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The Company also entered into a new convertible note arrangement with John Fife which provided $300,000 of funding in September, 2011 and $200,000 in October, 2011. In addition the Company has entered into an Equity Line with a fund sponsored by Dutchess Capital and has registered a total of 250 million shares of common stock on an Effective Form S-1 Registration Statement. Under the terms of the Equity Line, the Company is eligible to “PUT” from time to time to the Dutchess fund at a price equal to 94% of the proceeds received from periodic sales of the common stock in the open market by the Dutchess fund. The Company has received $145,428 in proceeds from the exercise of 6 PUT options for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
While the Company believes it will be able to fund short term capital needs, it will from time to time need to supplement such funding. In the longer term, we estimate that the Company will need to raise approximately $300,000 and $5,000,000 of additional capital above these funds through June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013 respectively in order to fund commercialization of its products.
24
The Company does not expect to derive any material revenue from its nanotechnology product development during the current fiscal year. The Company estimates that material revenues from its SmartNanoBattery could occur in 18 months depending upon the Company’s ability to secure federal funding in the form of SBIR grants and adoption and custom tailoring of such product as a reserve battery to a computer memory or other function for a specific weapons system. Additional revenues may be derived as early as the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 from further sales of the Company’s emergency flashlight product depending upon the establishment of a successful licensing arrangement with a major high-end product distributor.
THREE MONTHS ENDED March 31, 2012 VS. March 31, 2011
REVENUE
Total revenues were $241 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $17,720 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.The absence in revenue was the result of completion of the Phase II Army grant by the Company and the fact that during the quarter the Company did not receive any awards of new government grants.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses were $993 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $110,915 during the comparable period in 2011 or a decrease of $109,922. This decrease in spending is a result of completion of its smart nano battery prototype and its emergency flashlight using its mechanically-activated reserve battery as brought to market in its pilot program as well as the Company’ current austerity program with respect to costs. This was offset, in part, by development of a second automotive product by the Company to be introduced in the market, assuming the availability of sufficient funding, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
Subject to available funds, the Company expects to increase its research and development efforts throughout fiscal years 2013 and 2014. Such research is expected to focus on other applications for “smart surfaces” including the Smart Nano Battery. The initial applications for the nano power cell technology will address the need to supply emergency and reserved power to a wide range of electronic devices for both commercial and defense applications.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $359,040 for the three months ending March 31, 2012, down from $455,044 or a decrease of $96,004 from the comparable period in 2011. Administrative expenses were held in check as the Company has made a concentrated effort to freeze or otherwise reduce administrative costs while it seeks to commercialize its smartnanobattery product capabilities and secure more substantial research funding for possible applications of its “smart surfaces” technology.
OTHER (EXPENSE) AND INCOME
Included in this category are non-cash gains and costs associated with convertible debt that include a non-cash gain for the change in derivative value of $139,993 offset by amortization of debt discount costs of $84,225 plus $0 of debt extension fees and $426,092 of conversion fees and charges, resulting in a net charge of $370,324 from derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s convertible debt and is not indicative of operating results. Additionally, net interest expense of $72,353 brought total other expense to $442,677 in the current period. For the same period ended March 31, 2011 net other expense totaled $735,418, consisting primarily of net charges of $707,396 from derivative liabilities, increased by interest expense of $26,222.
NET INCOME AND (LOSS)
The Company recorded net loss of $806,279 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to a loss of $1,324,325 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This represents a net loss per common share of ($0) and loss per share of $(0) for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively. The net loss recorded in the current period as compared to the net loss reported for the same period last year is directly attributable to the magnitude of the net gain from derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s convertible debt recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and is not indicative of operating results.
25
NINE MONTHS ENDED March 31, 2012 VS. March 31, 2011
REVENUE
Total revenues were $1,502 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $47,871 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses were $52,381 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $445,510 during the comparable period in 2011 or a decrease of $393,129. This decrease in spending is a result of completion of its smart nano battery prototype and its emergency flashlight using its mechanically-activated reserve battery as brought to market in its pilot program
Subject to available funds, the Company expects to increase its research and development efforts throughout fiscal years 2013 and 2014. Such research is expected to focus on other applications for “smart surfaces” including the Smart Nano Battery. The initial applications for the nano power cell technology will address the need to supply emergency and reserved power to a wide range of electronic devices for both commercial and defense applications.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $7,594,321 for the nine months ending March 31, 2012, up from $1,424,739 or an increase of $6,169,582 from the comparable period in 2011. Recurring administrative expenses were held in check as the Company has made a concentrated effort to freeze or otherwise reduce administrative costs while it seeks to commercialize its smartnanobattery product capabilities and secure more substantial research funding for possible applications of its “smart surfaces” technology. The increase was due primarily to the award of stock to the officers and directors on August 25, 2011, generating a non-cash charge of $6,520,500. Additionally, there was a non-cash charge of $14,154 for the amortization of deferred compensation from the re-pricing of options on the same date.
OTHER (EXPENSE) AND INCOME
Included in this category for the current quarter are non-cash gains and costs associated with convertible debt that include a non-cash gain for the change in derivative value of $1,791,356, which when combined with amortization of debt discount costs of $177,956, commitment fees of $124,800 and conversion fees and charges of $499,962, resulted in a net gain of $988,640 from derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s convertible debt and is not indicative of operating results. Additionally, net interest expense of $187,328 and other income of $1,131 in the current 9 month period ended March 31, 2012 brought total other income to $802,442. For the same period in the prior fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 net other income totaled $1,834,505, consisting primarily of net gains of $1,917,868 from derivative liabilities, reduced by interest expense of $81,563.
NET INCOME AND (LOSS)
The Company recorded a net loss of $6,855,508 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to a net loss of $50,945 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. This represents a net loss per common share of $0 and net income per share (basic and diluted) of $0 for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively. The net loss recorded in the current period as compared to the net income reported for the same period last year is directly attributable to the magnitude of the net gain from derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s convertible debt recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to additional stock compensation in the current period, and is not indicative of operating results.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION
As required, mPhase has adopted ASC 605-10-525 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", which provides guidelines on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition based upon the interpretations and practices of the SEC.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred in accordance with ASC 730 "Research and Development."
MATERIAL EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
The Company has material equity instruments including convertible debentures and convertible notes that are accounted for as derivative liabilities (SEE BELOW) and options and warrants that are evaluated quarterly for potential reclassification as liabilities pursuant to FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19) (SEE ALSO NOTE 3 under the caption "Other Equity"). The Company utilized a sequencing method prescribed by EITF 00-19, based upon applying shares available to contracts with the earliest inception date first. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company reclassified contracts for warrants to purchase 12,604,168 shares at fixed prices ranging from $.13 to $.15 per share to liabilities.
The liability was recorded at the fair market value, which estimated value was based upon the contractual life of the free standing warrants, using the Black Scholes pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: annual expected return of 0%, an average life of 5 years, annual volatility of 81% and a risk-free interest rate of 2.25% . At the issuance date of the free standing warrants, which warrants were issued during the fourth quarter of fiscal June 30, 2008, the estimated value approximated $1,006,200 and, as recalculated on the quarterly measurement dates, at June 30, 2008 the estimated value approximated $433,300. During fiscal year ended 2009, the estimated value was reduced to zero. The net change in the liability was credited to the change in derivative value in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 for $572,900 and $433,300, respectively, for each of these periods in accordance with FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19). Effective May, 2009, warrants to purchase 11,111,112 shares, and effective September, 2009, warrants to purchase 1,493,056 shares, representing all of the contracts for warrants to purchase 12,604,168 shares that were reclassified to liabilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, were reclassified to permanent equity.
Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company has not entered into, and presently the Company does not have, any contracts for warrants or other equity instruments subject to reclassification to liabilities as prescribed by FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19) until August 10, 2011, when it entered into a Convertible Note for $25,000, which concurrently provided the note holder a warrant and recorded an additional derivative liability for the warrant.
DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The Company has estimated the value of the derivative liability associated with its convertible debt. Such estimate is based on a Black Scholes calculation and is initially recorded for each convertible debt agreement at the time the debt was issued. At each reporting period, the value of this liability is marked to market and adjusted accordingly. Such adjustments are included in Other Income (Expense).
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" which requires companies to measure and recognizes compensation expense for all employee stock-based payments at fair value over the service period underlying the arrangement. Therefore, the Company is now required to record the grant-date fair value of its stock-based payments (i.e., stock options and other equity-based compensation) in the statement of operations. The Company adopted the "modified prospective" method, whereby fair value of all previously-granted employee stock-based arrangements that remained unvested at July 1, 2005 and all grants made on or after July 1, 2005 have been included in the Company’s determination of stock-based compensation expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has incurred cumulative development stage losses of $201,499,464, and negative cash flow from operations of $88,412,693 as of March 31, 2012. The auditors report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 includes the statement that "there is substantial doubt of the Companys ability to continue as a going concern". As of March 31, 2012, the Company had a negative net worth of ($4,291,800) compared to a negative net worth of ($5,591,774) as of June 30, 2011 as a result of continuing net losses, reduced in the current three months primarily by conversions of convertible notes and accrued interest in excess of the net loss for the current period.
The Company raised $80,000 from private placements of 20 million shares of its common stock during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The Company supplemented this funding with a new convertible note arrangement with John Fife which provided $300,000 of funding in September, 2011 and $200,000 in October, 2011. In addition, the Company has entered into a number of small convertible securities with Accredited Investors from time to time. Finally, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 equity line of Credit with Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LLC in December of 2011. Under the equity line, the Company is eligible to PUT to the fund, 20,000,000 shares of its common stock during any pricing period. The Company has registered a total of $250,000,000 shares of its common stock on a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was declared effective on January 17, 2012 in connection with the Dutchess Equity Line. As of May 9, 2012, the Company has received $145,428 of proceeds under the Equity Line. The amount of proceeds to be received under the Equity Line, will depend upon the stock price of the Company at the various points in time it exercises the Put Option.
While the Company believes the Equity Line in combination with Convertible Securities to be issued from time to time will fund short term capital needs it may supplement such funding. We estimate that the Company will need to raise approximately $300,000 of additional capital above the funds anticipated from the monthly payments by JMJ to meet longer term liquidity needs through June 30, 2012. The Company is in discussions with a private equity group to provide an initial infusion of $2 million prior to the end of current fiscal year and up to $10 million over a period of three years. Such monies would be necessary primarily to fund expenditures for commercialization and distribution of its emergency flashlight product which includes the Companys active reserve battery contained therein. The Company does not expect to derive any material revenue from its nanotechnology product development until after a deployment and custom tailoring of its Smart Nanobattery takes place by the Army which the Company currently estimates could occur during the next 18 months. The Company has been seeking distributors with which to establish licensing or distribution agreements in order to maximize potential revenue associated with the product.
MANAGEMENTS PLANS
The Company has shifted its focus to the development of its smart surfaces using the science of nanotechnology. The Company does not expect to derive any material revenue from its nanotechnology product development during the next 18 months. In addition, the Company relies on the continuation of funding under the Equity Line of Credit (See Note 4). This will depend upon the trading volume and liquidity to the Companys common stock as well as its price. The Companys 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) allow the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its products.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company is not exposed to changes in interest rates as the Company has no debt arrangements and no investments in certain held-to-maturity securities. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of any financial instruments at March 31, 2012.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
