NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

(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 presently focused on restructuring its debt obligations to be in a position to capitalize on its existing intellectual property portfolio and endeavor to further develop new “smart surface” products through the sciences of microfluidics, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. The Company plans to restructure its business through some combination of raising additional capital, strategic partnerships and or mergers & acquisitions.

 

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 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 three months ended ending September 30, 2018 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 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 September 30, 2018, the Company had incurred (a) cumulative losses totaling ($211,876,337) and (b) a stockholders’ deficit of ($1,861,191). At September 30, 2018, the Company had $11,660 of cash to fund short-term working capital requirements and cash used in operating activities was ($41,083) for the three months ended September 30, 2018. 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, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) allow the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its smart surface products. 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 $500 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 2017. The reclassified financial statement items had no effect on Net Income (Loss) for the Quarter, Total Stockholders’ Deficit or Total Assets for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

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.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible debentures may be embedded derivatives and would be separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model we use for determining fair value of our derivatives is the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income.

 

As of September 30, 2018, due to the Company’s current share price and lack of trading liquidity in the Company’s common stock there is no basis for applying a derivative liability to the conversion of these notes.

 

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 to purchase shares of its common stock and no options to purchase shares of its common stock outstanding at September 30, 2018.

  

At September 30, 2018 the Company has convertible securities held by third parties that are immediately convertible into 781,272,500 shares of common stock. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, as amended, with John Fife (arrangement #4), Fife may acquire a total of 11,316,075,000 shares of the Company’s common stock based upon the conversion terms; if the forbearance agreement discussed in Note 3 is settled entirely in stock. In addition, the Company has convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon held by officers of the Company, subject to availability, convertible into approximately 1,294,270,000, immediately, if available.

 

The following table illustrates debts convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at September 30, 2018:

On April 5, 2010, the Company entered into a financing agreement with JMJ Financial that consists of the following: 1) a convertible note issued by the Company in the principal amount of $1,200,000 plus a one-time interest factor of 12% ($144,000) and a maturity date of December 15, 2012, and (2) a secured promissory note from the holder of the convertible 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 December 15, 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. River North failed to appeal the Judgement by July 17, 2017 and the Judgement become final. As a result of this proceeding the Company recorded the cancellation of the two notes assigned to River North from JMJ Financial for a total of $693,060 of principal and $358,534 accrued interest thereon. This resulted in a $1,051,594 gain from the cancellation of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

As of September 30, 2018, and as of June 30, 2018, the aggregate remaining amount of convertible securities held by JMJ could be converted into 45,522,500 and 44,630,000 common shares at the conversion floor price of $.004.

Arrangement #2 (John Fife dba St. George Investors)/Fife Forbearance

 

The Company entered into an amended agreement on June 1, 2012, when principle of $557,500 accrued interest of $66,338 and $95,611 of contractual charges for previous notes with John Fife totaled $719,449; whereby, the Company agreed to make payments of principle and interest of $33,238 per month commencing October 1, 2012 through September 1, 2014 at 8% interest and so long as the payments are not in default then no conversions into the Company’s common stock would be available to the holder.

 

On November 20, 2012, mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) formally received an Event of Default and Redemption Notice dated November 16, 2012 with respect to an 8% Convertible Note dated September 13, 2011 issued by the Company to St. George Investments LLC and assigned to John Fife. The notice included alleged defaults with respect to payments owed by the Company under the Convertible Note and the failure to convert the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock. The alleged amount owed according to the notice is approximately $902,279.

 

On December 15, 2014, a Memorandum Opinion and Order was issued by the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division granting the motion of John Fife, plaintiff (“Plaintiff”), for summary judgment against mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) for breach of contract (the “Opinion”). All other claims and counterclaims were dismissed. The Company commenced settlement negotiations with the Plaintiff after we explored options including an appeal of the Judgment which the Company concluded would have a low probability of success.

 

Effective February 10, 2015, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with the Holder. The agreement provides that the Holder would forego his right to enforce its remedies pursuant to the Judgment, which include demand for immediate payment of approximately $1.6 million, provided the Company satisfy its forbearance obligation of $1,003,943, (after accounting for a payment of $15,000 the Company paid, under the terms of the agreement).

 

The terms of the agreement, as amended, provide for interest to accrue on the unpaid portion at 9% per annum with monthly payments in cash or conversions into common stock of the Company; commencing with an initial $15,000 payment due on February 15, 2015, and thereafter and on or before the 15th day of each month thereafter the Company agrees to pay to Holder the following amounts; $30,000.00 per month on each of the following dates: March 15, 2015.

 

April 15, 2015, May 15, 2015, June 15, 2015, and July 15, 2015; $15,000.00 per month on each of the following dates: August 15, 2015 and September 15, 2015; $20,000.00 per month on each of the following dates: October 15, 2015, November 15, 2015, and December 15, 2015; $35,000.00 per month on each of the following dates: January 15, 2016 and February 15, 2016 and March 15, 2016; and $50,000.00 per month thereafter until the Forbearance Amount has been paid in full.

 

The Forbearance agreement required the Company to place, and the Company had done so, 1,000,000,000 shares in reserve with its transfer agent, to satisfy the conversion provisions for any unpaid monthly cash payments. 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. The Company had not issued any stock for conversions since entering into the forbearance agreement and during the year ended June 30, 2015 and has made cash payments repaying $69,081 of principle and $41,019 of interest under the agreement.

 

As of August 11, 2015, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 with Fife to the Forbearance Agreement rescheduling the monthly payment schedules.

 

As of January 19, 2016, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement again rescheduling certain of the monthly payments.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2018 the Company repaid did not make any repayments to Fife under the Judgment Settlement Agreement, as amended. The value of the forbearance debt obligation on June 30, 2018 was $885,365.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company recorded $19,921, and $18,132 interest on this agreement. The value of the forbearance debt obligation on September 30, 2018 was $905,286.

 

As of June 30, 2017, this forbearance obligation, as amended, 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, for the satisfaction of the next required monthly payment, and (ii) up to 10,123,399,750 shares of our common stock should the entire obligation be converted.

 

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, if repaid in full according to revised terms, in connection with the default by the Company under a Convertible Debenture dated September 13, 2011.

 

On February 16, 2018, the Company and John Fife entered into an Amendment to a Judgment Settlement Agreement dated August 18, 2017 modifying the repayment schedule of a Convertible Debenture of the Company originally issued on September 13, 2011. The Company is in arrears on the revised settlement terms of a February 16, 2018 Amendment. The revised agreement could have been settled as recent as September 15, 2018 for $265,000 , or up to $390,000 if paid in 24 monthly installments through September, 2020. This would result in approximately a $600,000 gain if paid under the revised settlement terms.

 

As of September 30, 2018, this forbearance obligation, as amended, 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, for the satisfaction of the next required monthly payment, and (ii) up to 11,316,075,000 shares of our common stock should the entire obligation be converted. 

  

Arrangement #3 (MH Investment trust II)

 

On August 26, 2014, the Company issued to the MH Investment Trust, a Convertible Note in a Private Placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 in which the Company received $40,000 in gross proceeds on September 1, 2014. The instrument is in the principal amount of $40,000 and matured on May 1, 2015. Interest only was payable at the rate of 12% per annum by the Company to the holder until maturity. The instrument is convertible into the Company’s common stock at 60% of the volume weighted average price of the stock based upon the average of the three lowest trading days in the 10 day trading period immediately preceding such conversion, or 65 % when the trading price exceeds $.0020 for the five days before such conversion. All proceeds received in connection with the proceeds of the financing used by the Company as working capital.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company recorded $193 and $173 interest on this agreement.

 

At September 30, 2018 the note balance was $3,333 and accrued interest of $3,312, at 12%, remained due under this agreement.

Based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 this Note is convertible into approximately 110,750,000 and 107,516,667 shares of common stock, respectively.

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 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 September 30, 2018 is $905,286 (See Note 3), 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 (1.325 million) if the Company defaults under the forbearance obligation reduced by payments under the Forbearance Agreement, which payments through June 30, 2018 totaled $275,000. As of June 30, 2018, 1,000,000,000 shares have been issued with respect to payment obligations under the forbearance agreement, as amended and no amounts remain, in reserve, with our Transfer Agent. The Company was in arrears on the agreement and has negotiated a settlement for approximately $360,000 in cash payments. The Company is in arrears on this settlement. (See Note 3)

 

As of September 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 11,316,075,000 shares of our common stock should the entire obligation be converted. 

 

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 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 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.

 

The table below presents reconciliation for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2018 and 2017. At March 31,2018 the Company’s common stock is subject to limited trading. We therefore believe there is no basis for applying a derivative liability to the conversion feature of the Notes.

 

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.

 

We have determined that it is not practical to estimate the fair value of our notes payable because of their unique nature and the costs that would be incurred to obtain an independent valuation. We do not have comparable outstanding debt on which to base an estimated current borrowing rate or other discount rate for purposes of estimating the fair value of the notes payable and we have not been able to develop a valuation model that can be applied consistently in a cost-efficient manner. These factors all contribute to the impracticability of estimating the fair value of the notes payable. At September 30, 2018, the carrying value of the notes payable and accrued interest for convertible agreements and officers’ notes was approximately $1.23 million. The JMJ convertible notes, which were originally due at various times through December 31, 2012, yield an interest rate of 12%, the Fife Forbearance obligation is 9%. Refer to Note 3 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information about the Company’s notes payable as of September 30, 2018.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: XDSL.OB) is a company focused on the development of innovative power cells and related products through the science of microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nano- technology. mPhase is primarily focused on commercializing its first nanotechnology-enabled product for military and commercial applications - the Smart NanoBattery providing Power On CommandTM. 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.

 

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 as a reserve battery for heart pacemakers and other medical devices.

 

One version of the lithium battery based on a breakable separator was developed for an emergency reserve flashlight application.

 

Due to very limited financial resources, the Company has not been able to fund research and development of the SmartNanao battery during the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

 

Discontinuance of Jump Starter Products during Fiscal Year 2016

 

Commencing in April of 2016, the Company began discontinuing its line of Jump Starter products due to increased competition and declining margins.

 

 15

 

 

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

 

Revenues. Revenue, if any, has primarily been attributable to sales of its Jump and Mini Jump Products. Owing to increased competition, contracting margins and the inability to fund volume purchases of inventory at favorable prices, the Company decided to discontinue its line of Jump Starter products.

 

Cost of revenues. Cost associated with revenues are comprised primarily of the cost to purchase out-sourced developed and manufactured products internationally and having them private labeled under the mPower brand name.

 

Research and development. Research and development expenses have been minimal in recent periods due to the Company’s current financial condition. The Company is continuing to seek SBIR grants and take advantage of other U.S. government financial programs to fund continued research and development of its Smart Nano Battery.

 

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for legal and accounting personnel. In addition, the Company from time to time will use outside consultants. Certain administrative activities are outsourced.

 

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.

 

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.

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.

 

The Company believes the certain conversion features embedded in convertible notes payable are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the Company’s stock price. Accordingly, the Company has recognized derivative liabilities in connection with such instruments. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the date of issuance at every balance sheet thereafter. The Company uses judgment in determining which valuation is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., Black Scholes), the expected volatility, the implied risk free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company has incurred cumulative losses of ($211,876,337) and has a working capital deficit of ($1,861,991) as of September 30, 2018. 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”. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a negative net worth of ($1,861,191) compared to a negative net worth of ($3,992,469) as of June 30, 2018, primarily because of a non-recurring debt extinguishment.

  

While the Company believes that private placements of its common stock to be issued from time to time will fund short term capital needs its access to the capital markets will depend upon global financial conditions.

 

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. This is not expected to occur in the foreseeable future owing to its current financial condition which does not allow further work to complete the product, if possible, when and if the Company can recapitalize.

MANAGEMENT’S PLANS AND CURRENT STATUS

 

The Company has curtailed its efforts with respect to selling its line of automotive jump starter products owing to increased competition resulting in poor margins because of commodity pricing of such products. The Company is seeking alternative products for development from our existing patent portfolio and intellectual property but does not foresee a definitive path to revenues to replace the winding down of its line of automotive jump products.

 

The Company is considering strategic alternatives to best monetize its remaining patent portfolio restructuring and revising its debt obligations and Capital structure. The Company and the note holder for arrangements 1, JMJ Financial, had been renegotiating the settlement of these agreements; 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. River North Equity LLC which had purchased notes previously issued to JMJ Financial failed to appeal a Judgement in favor of the Company negating such Notes by July 17, 2017 and the Judgement became final. As a result of this proceeding the Company recorded the cancellation of the two notes assigned to River North from JMJ Financial for a total of $693,060 of principal and $358,534 accrued interest thereon. This resulted in a $1,051,594 gain from the cancellation of debt during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The Company, after the River North Equity and judicial action denying enforcement of such Notes, has been negotiating a settlement for the remaining $109,000 of principle and $73,090 of accrued interest thereon due to JMJ at September 30, 2018.

 

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. At September 30, 2018 we had recorded $905,286 for the value of the forbearance debt obligation. as amended.

 

On December 1, 2017 the Company announced in a Form 8k filing that as part of an over recapitalization of the Company that, subject to filing with the Secretary of State of New Jersey of an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing its authorized shares of common stock to 72 billion shares, the Board of Directors has approved the granting of a total of 5,750,000,000 shares of common stock to officers, a director and consultants of the Company. This resulted in a $575,000 accrued stock award payable at June 30, 2018. These shares were issued September 24, 2018.

 

In addition, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of approximately 16,000,000,000 shares to officers and a directors and consultants in exchange for aggregate indebtedness and fees owed to such persons in the approximate amount of $1,600,000. The Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing its authorized shares of common stock to 72 billion shares on August 24, 2018. In connection with the above, on September 24, 2018 the Company settled; $538,777 of accrued officers’ wages for the conversion into 5,387,770,000 Shares; $702,105 of officers’ loans and accrued interest thereon for the conversion into 7,021,050,000 shares; $126,364 loans from Director for the conversion into 1,263,642,700 shares; and $99,500 of strategic payables for the conversion into 995,000,000 shares of the company Common Stock. The foregoing totaled $1,652,746 of debts converted into 16,527,462,700 shares.

 

On December 28, 2017 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with Scepter Commodities LLC, a privately-held company, for Scepter to merge into mPhase wherein shareholders of Scepter would own 80% of the outstanding common stock of the Company with mPhase shareholders owning 20% of the common stock of the combined 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, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) allow the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its products. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or if so, on terms acceptable to the Company.

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 September 30, 2018.

 

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.
