General Description of the Business
mPhase Technologies, Inc., is a publicly-held New Jersey company founded in 1996 with over 19,000 shareholders and approximately 870 million shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2009. The Companys common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL. The Company has offices in Little Falls and Newark, New Jersey as well as Norwalk, Connecticut.
mPhase is a development-stage company specializing in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. The Company develops nanotechnology-enabled products for commercial and military applications. The Companys flagship product is its Smart NanoBattery providing Power On Command. The new well-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. The material has a Smart Surface that can potentially be designed for other innovative products such as self-cleaning applications, water purification/desalination, liquid filtration/separation, and environmental cleanup.
mPhase has been awarded 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 its Smart NanoBattery as a reserve battery for a critical computer memory application.
In a separate effort, mPhase has also developed a mechanically activated reserve battery. As a result of a unique combination of battery and mechanical engineering, such reserve battery also has a potentially infinite shelf-life. The battery is part of the Companys new Emergency Flashlight product line that is currently being designed by and co-branded with Porsche Design Studio a premiere world-class company specializing in high-end accessory products for the luxury automotive manufacturer.

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 hydrophillc 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 mPhases nanotechnology operations and intellectual property portfolio.
In the Smart NanoBattery application, mPhase uses electrowetting as a new technique to s 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 membranes 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 Companys 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 is also the basis for other possible applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, filtration and separation and liquid delivery systems.
mPhase has also developed a manually-activated lithium reserve battery using an innovative industrial and mechanically-engineered design. The battery is activated by a unique triggering mechanism that rapidly releases and distributes the liquid electrolyte inside the battery. The electrolyte immediately contacts the batterys solid electrodes to produce electric power. Unlike conventional batteries that have relatively short shelf lives prior to initial use of the flashlight, the mPhase reserve battery has a shelf life of over 20 years.

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 year 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.
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.
Also 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 products. The Company decided in September of 2007 to transfer its development work out of Bell Labs (Alcatel/Lucent) in order to ace;erate and broaden its nanotechnology product commercialization efforts. Bell Labs had engaged in its battery research and development for the Company for zinc-based batteries and was limited since it did not have facilities capable of handling lithium chemistry. mPhase has continued to work with Rutgers ESRG which has facilities capable of handling lithium based batteries and has also engaged in work with foundries and other companies to supply essential components, fabricate prototypes, and plan manufacturing approaches. These companies currently include Silex, a well-respected silicon foundry in Sweden and Eagle Picher, a well known battery designer and manufacturer that focuses on high-end batteries for military applications located in Joplin, Missouri.
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 NnaoBattey 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 will enable 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 it 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 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 this mechanically-activated reserve battery will eventually be economically and commercially viable.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 the Company has continued to refine and improve prototypes of its manually-activated reserve battery as well as made significant progress in its Smart NanoBattery development in connection with meeting the specifications and requirements of the Phase II grant received from the U.S. Army. Such grant was renewed for a second year by the Army on August 27, 2009
Emergency Flashlight
On December 5, 2008 mPhase Technologies, Inc. signed a contract with Porsche Design Gesellschaft m.b.H., Flugplatzstrasse 29, A,S700 Zell am see. Austrla [Porsche Design Studio], to design a premium version of the AlwaysReady Emergency Flashlight. The flashlight will contain mPhases 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 has contracted with EaglePicher Technologies to design and manufacture in small quantiites its mechanically-acitvated battery that will be used in the its 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 will be 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 (EPT), and 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, EPT has the most experience and broadest capability in battery electrochemistry of any battery supplier.
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 battery. The project was suspended in September 2007 so that all technical resources could be allocated to the battery project. The Company is entitled to certain royalties from the Magnetometer if Alcatel/Lucent ultimately generates revenues from the product.
IPTV
Historically, the Company since its inception has focused upon developing innovative solutions for the delivery of Broadcast Television as part of a triple play of services that includes voice and high-speed internet for telephone service providers globally. Beginning in fiscal year 2004, the Company began developing Broadcast television delivery solutions through software/middleware designed to enable telephone service providers to deliver video data using internet protocol. The Companys middleware/software is highly scalable, potentially saving telephone service providers significant hardware deployment costs for routers and servers required for the carrier class delivery of broadcast television using internet protocol. Such solution potentially expands the content of available information from the internet into broadcast quality television. The Companys middleware is capable of delivering over copper, fiber, coax or any infrastructure representing a combination of the foregoing that is used by a telecommunications service provider. The Company has not to date been able to derive any significant revenue from our TV+ solution.
Because the roll-out of broadcast television using internet protocol has been a lengthy process for major service providers in the United States, the Company has suspended development of new features for its TV+ solution in order to conserve financial resources pending further development in the U.S. market. All inventory has been written off and all strategic alternatives relative to this business segment including the valuation and sale of assets or licensing of the technology are being evaluated.
Nanotechnology Products
Platform Technology
The surface is an important part of virtually every physical object and often plays an overriding role in many processes, beyond just connectivity and structural support, but more deeply into areas involving chemical and biological interactions. In some instances, the surface provides an easy entry into the chemical or biological systems, in others it protects the internal elements of the object, surrounded by the surfaces.
mPhases platform technology is the Smart Surface. By being able to control the surface properties of materials down to the nanometer scale, new and improved devices can be designed and built that may lead to compelling business opportunities. One type of smart surface of particular interest allows the properties to be changed in response to an external stimulus.
7
Initially, mPhases development focused on MEMS devices by manipulating the surface of silicon materials the same material used to make microelectronic materials and devices. Using physical and chemical processes, the surface of the silicon is modified to make solid porous structures known as membranes. This is where microfluidics comes into play. These membranes can be used to selectively control the flw of liquids through the pores or openings at the micrometer length scale.
Surfaces may be characterized as hydrophilic or hydrophobic depending on whether or not they attract or repel water (or other liquids). A hydrophilic surface can be wet and adsorbs water. A hydrophobic surface, on the other hand, cannot be wet. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces are abundant in nature and in synthetic materials, both organic and inorganic in chemical composition. A familiar example of a hydrophilic surface is a sponge that readily soaks up water. By contrast, many plant leaves and flower petals are hydrophobic, as are insect parts and bird feathers. Synthetic hydrophobic surfaces include Scotchgard treated fabric, Teflon® coated metal, or Rain-X® coated glass. On a hydrophobic surface, water beads up and can move around without being absorbed by the solid material that it is resting on.
So-called superhydrophobic surfaces are also found in nature and can now be replicated in the lab. The lotus leaf and rose petal, for example, exhibit superhydrophobicity. Here water droplets form almost perfect spheres with hardly any contact with the underlying solid surface. This makes the liquid even easier to move and manipulate.
The synthesis of superhydrophobic surfaces has recently been made possible by advances in nanotechnology and mPhase is leading the way to better understand and create materials and devices incorporating these unique surface properties.
As mPhases research and development efforts evolve, in addition to silicon materials, the ability to control the surface properties of materials can be extended to other substances such as polymers, ceramics, metals and fibers as examples, providing opportunities for our platform technology to be used in a range of potential applications such as energy storage and power management for portable electronics and microelectronics, self-cleaning surfaces, filters for water purification or desalination systems, materials for environmental remediation that separate liquids or solvents, and other situations where the control of the interaction of a solid surface exposed to a liquid is vitally important.
Smart NanoBattery
Battery technology has changed little in its fundamentals over the past 150 years. As a result, ordinary batteries begin dissipating energy as soon as they are assembled and therefore have limited shelf life. Chemistries are fixed inside the package so the user cannot interact with the contents to program functionality. The size and form of batteries have not kept pace with the miniaturization of electrical components, microprocessors and integrated circuits. As a result, the optimal implementation of an electronic device is not always achieved. Some batteries contain chemicals that are not considered safe or environmentally friendly (green). This makes disposal a potential issue.
mPhase is challenging this convention by using their proprietary superhydrophobic porous silicon membrane technology as the basis to build the Smart NanoBattery providing Power On Command.
Superhydrophobicity initially keeps the liquid electrolyte physically separated from the solid electrodes of the battery, thus preventing the chemical reactions from occurring that cause the battery to provide power. This gives the Smart NanoBattery the benefit of potentially infinite shelf life.
8
A conventional battery loses some capacity while sitting on the shelf in its package or stored in an electronic or electrical device, even before being used for the first time. On the other hand, the Smart NanoBattery is built so that it is inactive and remains that way indefinitely until it is turned on. No power is lost to self-discharge or leakage current prior to activation. When needed, the Smart NanoBattery can be activated on command via the phenomenon of electrowetting. The surface properties of the porous silicon membrane are selectively controlled to shift instantly from a superhydrophobic to hydrophilic state. In other words, electrowetting acts as the triggering mechanism.
mPhase has successfully fabricated and demonstrated its first 3-volt lithium-based Smart NanoBattery, based on a design allowing either manual or remote activation by the user, the feature known as Power on Command.
By incorporating the phenomenon of electrowetting on nanostructured surfaces into a revolutionary way of storing energy, the Smart NanoBattery provides power to portable electronic and microelectronic devices exactly when and where it is needed. It is an alternative and an augmentation to conventional batteries, still converting stored chemical energy into usable electrical energy, but in a way that is potentially more reliable, more versatile, more environmentally friendly, and less expensive than the industry norm.
Applications
mPhase is exploring military and commercial applications of smart surfaces in which the properties can be accurately and precisely controlled down to the nanometer scale. Electrowetting allows the switching from a hydrophobic to hydrophilic state as a result of an electronic stimulus.
The Smart NanoBattery, mPhases first smart surface product, has a unique architecture that enables a shelf life of decades, remote activation, programmable control, scalable manufacturing, and adaptability to multiple configurations. The value proposition to the end user is to have a source of energy or power that is literally always ready - reliable, convenient, low cost - a battery guaranteed to work at full capacity when and where you need it.
The Smart NanoBattery can conceivably supply power on command to a wide variety of portable electronic and microelectronic devices used in military, medical, industrial, and consumer applications.
mPhase has already proven that the battery works in lab tests as well as in a significant field test conducted for the U.S. Army as part of a guided munitions project. The relationship with the Army also includes a $850,000 funded project to develop a battery for a mission critical computer memory backup application. The target is a small footprint, 3-volt lithium battery with a minimum shelf life of 20 years and uninterruptible power output during this time period. No other battery technology available today can deliver the long-term performance requirements specified by the U.S. Army for this application.
The Smart NanoBattery can potentially be designed to accommodate a variety of sophisticated portable electronic and microelectronic devices including next-generation cell phones and PDAs, handheld gaming devices, wireless sensor systems, RFID tags, high-tech flashlights and beacons, health alert alarms, and non-implantable and implantable medical devices such as pacemakers.
Initial applications will address the need to supply emergency and backup power to a range of products for defense and security, with future applications in the commercial and consumer arenas.
Other Products
As its first commercial product, mPhase is developing an emergency flashlight using a mechanically-activated lithium reserve battery with a patent-pending breakable separator in place of the electrowettable membrane used in the Companys Smart NanoBattery. The emergency flashlight is envisioned as a compact device that would be activated with a simple push-button switch to provide Power On Command in the event of an emergency. The device would be kept in the glove compartment of a car, on boats, trains or planes, coupled with fire extinguishers, packed with safety, first aid and survival kits.

On July 18, 2007, the Company announced the award of a Phase I US Army Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program Grant. This award is a Phase I six month research effort to develop a 30 plus year shelf life, low power, green battery (coin cell or similar) that will continuously power a static random access memory circuit for a computer device. SRAM is a common type of digital memory chip used in a wide variety of electronic systems for data storage. During the six month research period, the team will characterize the design, conduct capacity and stability measurements of a reserve style power cell based on Lithium chemistry. Long term stability and shelf life is achieved by initially separating the active materials of the power cell during storage, and controlling the activation of the cell until needed to provide power. This research program extends the design of the companys smart battery to support the use of non-water based electrolytes that are commonly used in lithium based batteries. Lithium batteries are favored for powering many different types of electronic devices due to their higher voltage and power requirements that can be supplied by more common alkaline batteries. The Phase I grant, valued at $100,000, will enable the Company to competitively compete for a Phase II award as an avenue used by U.S. government defense agencies to adopt advanced technology for commercialization and use. Rutgers University will support the Company and its newly formed subsidiary AlwaysReady, Inc. during the award period as a subcontractor under the award guidelines.

On February 20, 2008, the Company announced that a prototype of its smart reserve nanobattery was successfully deployed and activated by the resulting g force in a gun-fired test at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. The test was conducted by the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) of Picatinny New Jersey. In this test, the AlwaysReady battery delivered power to the test load inside the standard military anti-tank round (M830A1 or HEAT-High Explosive Anti Tank) and demonstrated extreme resiliency, surviving the harsh environment as well as the high acceleration at a g-Force in excess of 45,000 (One g is equal to the pull of gravity at sea level). The gun-fired test was part of a prototype evaluation process that the U.S. Army is conducting as part of its CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement). The Companys Engineers collaborated with those at Picatinny involved in the development of precision guidance components to successfully package this reserve electrochemical storage system to operate during the gun-firing and flight environment of a very high g round. The developmental qualification work, prior to the live test firing, was performed using Picatinnys air gun test facilities by subjecting battery prototypes to various launch accelerations and various design iterations. The test validated the performance of the AlwaysReady battery with a current armament used by the Army. The Company has stated that its goal is to potentially incorporate this battery technology into smart, gun-fired munitions programs being developed by Picatinny.

On May 2, 2008, the Company announced that it had produced its first lithium-based battery that can be manually activated by providing power on command with a significantly longer shelf life prior to initial activation than those found in other batteries. The battery can be activated by command wirelessly from a remote location by a radio frequency signal giving it added mobility for sensor and similar applications.
On September 9, 2008, the Company announced that it had been awarded 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.
On September 17, 2008 the Company announced that its breakthrough research in microfluidics on understanding how micro- and nanostructured surfaces could be engineered to have properties for repelling water and other types of liquids potentially used in consumer applications to enable self-cleaning surfaces such as shower doors or windows and other materials used in self-cleaning systems.
On September 23, 2008,the Company announced that it had produced compact reserve lithium battery prototypes with a manually activated breakable separator capable of powering a high-intensity emergency flashlight for more than two hours continuously at full brightness. The work was done in conjunction with Eagle Picher a respected battery design and development firm located in Joplin, Missouri. mPhase stated that it is pursuing the concept of using a reserve battery with a breakable separator in a high-intensity emergency flashlight either as the primary power supply or as a reliable source of backup power. Cylindrical and planar battery and flashlight designs are possible. These flashlights may be equipped with either a krypton bulb or light emitting diode (LED), the choice depending on the required brightness and runtime characteristics. A manually activated breakable separator technology has been created that is analogous to that of the AlwaysReady Smart NanoBattery with the patented electrowettable membrane, both of which keep the liquid electrolyte separate from the solid electrodes until the battery is actually needed. This provides a battery with potentially infinite shelf-life that will not lose power while sitting on the shelf or in storage. Whereas the electrowettable membrane is activated by applying a voltage at the interface between the liquid and membrane surface, the breakable separator is manually activated through a well-defined physical force. The result in both cases is that the liquid electrolyte mixes with the solid electrodes thus releasing the stored energy and 3 volts of power when lithium chemistry is employed.
On December 5, 2008 the Company announced that it had signed a contract with Porsche Design Gesellschaft m.b.H., Flugplatzstrasse 29, A,S700 Zell am see. Austria [Porsche Design Studio], to design a premium version of the AlwaysReady Emergency Flashlight. The flashlight will use mPhases proprietary 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 15, 2009 the Company announced that its SmartNanoBattery being developed pursuant to a Phase II Army Grant for a critical mission computer backup reserve battery may also have wider application for unattended electronic ground sensors that provide mission critical information for military operatives.
15
On January 29, 2009 the Company announced that it had contracted EaglePicher Technologies to manufacture the reserve battery that will be used in its 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.
On March 9, 2009,in reaction to the new Economic Stimulus Plan, the Company announced that it will pursue funding opportunities arising from the $2 billion allocated for advanced battery technology. The mPhase/AlwaysReady Smart NanoBattery has the potential to impact new energy efficient vehicle applications. Eligibility for the $2 billion in competitive grants to support manufacturing advanced vehicle batteries and components is to be determined by the Department of Energy, with a final decision made by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Under the Economic Stimulus Plan the Department of Energy must provide facility funding awards to manufacturers of advanced battery systems and vehicle batteries produced in the United States, including advanced lithium ion batteries, hybrid electrical systems, component manufacturers, and software designers. The Company believes that a rechargeable version of the Smart NanoBattery can be designed with lithium ion chemistry for a wide range of energy-efficient applications.
On March 17, 2009 the Company announced that, effective March 13, 2009, it entered into a Settlement Agreement with Magpie Telecom Insiders, Inc. (Magpie) of a lawsuit filed by Magpie against the Company in November 2007 in the Federal District Court for the District of Colorado. Neither party made any admission of liability in connection with the settlement. As a result of the settlement the Company will remove from its liabilities $175,000 in Accounts Payable and cancel 1,926,470 shares of its common stock issued to Magpie and returned under the settlement to the Company. The terms of the settlement otherwise resulted in no material change in circumstances to the Company.
On March 18, 2009, the Company announced that it had received the first working model for the Emergency Flashlight from the Porsche Design Studio in Zell am See, Austria representing a major step forward as the Company prepares for the initial product launch.
On June 23, 2009, the Company announced that it had achieved a major milestone in the development of its Smart NanoBattery Technology. mPhase reported that it has successfully manufactured a six-inch silicon-based wafer containing its key membrane (separator) technology.

The membranes unique surface and structure allows for control of a liquid on a nanostructured surface.
On August 5, 2009, the Company announced that it had completed the first functional prototype of its lithium Reserve Battery that will function in the Companys emergency flashlight. The prototype is the first time the mPhase battery technology has come together in a ready for production prototype. The mPhase lithium reserve battery stores energy until it is literally turned on. It is manually activated by a unique triggering mechanism that rapidly releases and distributes the liquid electrolyte inside the battery. The electrolyte immediately contacts the solid electrode materials to produce 3 volts. The reserve battery is designed for backup power and emergency applications. With a shelf life of over 20 years, the mPhase lithium reserve battery will allow the its emergency flashlight to function as a reliable emergency light source in countless situations.
On August 6, 2009, the Company announced that it had completed the first fully functional prototype of its emergency flashlight. A world renowned automobile design firm created a sleek design to accompany the flashlights unparalleled functionality.

Products & Services
Since our inception in 1996, mPhase has been a development stage company focused on the development of intellectual property involving high technology innovative solutions and products with high-growth potential. The Company has served as an incubator for exploratory research and initial development for products that are best characterized as having a high risk/high reward profile since they involve exploratory research to achieve significant scientific breakthroughs from existing products that can have a substantial economic impact and benefit upon successful commercialization.
NanoBattery
The Smart NanoBattery is an outgrowth of the science of nanotechnology that the Company began in February of 2004 with the entering into a Project Development Agreement with the Bell Labs Division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. The Company has historically outsourced its Research and Development of new products to larger companies or institutions with significant scientific resources and experience in exploratory research. mPhase Technologies along with Alcatel/Lucent/Bell Labs, jointly conducted research from February 2004 through April of 2007 that demonstrated control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic surfaces to create power cells, by controlling wetting behavior of electrolyte on nano structured electrode surfaces. This scientific research conducted set the ground work for continued exploration in the development of intelligent nanotechnology power cells (nano-batteries), 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 engineering improvements that were essential in moving the battery from a zinc based chemistry to design using lithium based chemistry The Company established a strategic research working relationship with the Energy Storage Research Group (ESRG), a center of excellence in Rutgers University that has lab research facilities capable of handling lithium based battery development.
mPhases current flagship product is its Smart NanoBattery that has a significant longer shelf life prior to initial activation than that of conventional batteries. The Smart NanoBattery has potentially significant applications for critical mission power sources that must be reliable and available upon command by the electronic device it is powering. Such applications involve, emergency flashlights and beacons, back -up power sources for computers and life support products, as well as significant military applications where critical mission backup power is essential for weapons control computers and electronic warfare equipment used in combat. Other potential military applications include power sources activated by g forces for guided munitions.
The Smart NanoBattery utilizes a proprietary technology developed over a period of 5 years. The battery design, prior to initial activation, has a membrane that separates the electrolyte and electrodes used to generate power. Conventional batteries do not provide for such separation and therefore their power begins to dissipate prior to the first time they are activated causing them to loose capacity. Conventional batteries have significant limits upon how long they can be stored prior to their first activation and in providing a reliable source of power required for critical applications requiring portable power supplies.
Emergency Flashlight
In April of 2008 mPhase successfully produced its first lithium-based breakable separator. This provided the basis of a new reserve battery product that relies on mechanical rather than electrical activation to provide Power on Command. In contrast to the Companys SmartNanoBattery product that is being developed using the science of nanotechnology and relies on an electro wetting membrane, this reserve battery is designed for mechanical rather than electrical activation. Such reserve battery is based upon an innovative mechanical and battery engineering design involving that is activated by puncturing a soft pouch containing electrolyte. Such reserve battery has been especially designed to be used in the Companys new emergency flashlight product. Such reserve battery is being designed for the Company by Eagle Picher, a major U.S. battery designer and the flashlight is being designed for the Company by Porsche Design Studio.

Magnetometer: Further Development Suspended in 2007 (See also description of operations)
In March of 2005, the Company engaged the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. to develop, using the science of nanotechnology both a low and high sensitivity magnetometer for both military and commercial use.
Magnetometers can be used in a wide range of applications for the detection of magnetic fields in applications that include military surveillance, securing the retail environment, automotive sensors and actuators, industrial processing, medical imaging, scientific measurements, detection of mineral deposits and even air and space exploration. In sensor networks ultra-sensitive magnetometers can be used, for example, to detect and accurately pinpoint battlefield objects or they might also be used to study the workings of the human brain.
Magnetometers work by sensing changes in magnetic fields due to the motion of magnetic objects or changes in electrical currents generated by those objects. The magnetometer detects these objects by measuring time-varying magnetic signals that are superimposed on the combination of earths background field used to orient compasses) and static magnetic fields due to near- by magnetic objects. In March of 2007, the Company ceased development with Alcatel/Bell Labs of its Magnetometer product in order to conserve financial resources.
TV+ Solution: Further Development Suspended in 2007(See also description of operations)
As mentioned previously, the roll-out of broadcast television using internet protocol has been a lengthy process for major service providers in the United States, the Company has suspended in November of 2007 development of new features for its TV+ solution in order to conserve financial resources pending further development in the U.S. market. All inventories have been written off and all strategic alternatives relative to this business segment, including the sale or licensing of the intellectual property are being evaluated.
Competitive Business Conditions
Battery Segment
The design and functionality of the mPhase/AlwaysReady lithium Smart Nanobattery make it unique to the portable electronics battery market segment.. To the best of our knowledge, there is no existing product that directly competes with the Smart NanoBattery that combines small size with a reserve design. As a reserve battery, the Smart NanoBattery remains dormant until it is activated on command. It does not self-discharge or die prior to its first activation, thereby offering extremely long shelf life prior to use as either as a primary or backup battery in a device. Shelf life is projected to be in excess of twenty years.
There are numerous thin film batteries based on lithium metal, lithium ion and lithium polymer, as well as other chemistries, used in military devices, portable electronics, RFID tags and wireless sensor networks, that are similar in size to the Smart NanoBattery, often referred to as microbatteries. None of these designs are based on reserve battery architectures. Thin film batteries are manufactured by companies including: Cymbet Corporation, Front Edge Technology, Infinite Power Solutions, ITN Energy Systems, Johnson Research and Development Company, KSW Microtec, Lithium Technology Corporation, MPower Solutions, Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Power Paper, Solicore, VoltaFlex Corporation. Large companies such as Energizer, Ultralife, Varta and Proctor & Gamble are also involved with developing thin film batteries. Thin film battery markets are anticipated to reach 10 billion units, $11 billion dollars by 2012. The market driving forces are those of wide expansion of portable devices in that time frame. With 3.5 billion cell phone users and 67 billion RFID tags per year anticipated in that time frame alone, it is anticipated that the volumes will be in place to create commercial demand for thin film batteries.
18
Traditional reserve batteries are quite distinct from the mPhase/AlwaysReady Smart NanoBattery in terms of size and activation mechanism. The market for reserve batteries has largely been limited to the military for supplying power to munitions and other mission-critical electronic devices. The traditional reserve battery tends to be larger and certain types are built by hand and contain mechanical parts to activate the battery. The Smart NanoBattery relies on the phenomenon of electrowetting to initiate activation or a mechanical barrier that can be broken, in the case of the breakable barrier design. Traditional reserve batteries for military applications have been supplied by companies such as EaglePicher, Yardney and Storage Battery Systems, Inc.
Flashlight Market
The Company believes that there may be a significant market for a high-end emergency flashlight containing its mechanically activated reserve battery. The need for absolute reliability in many emergency situations includes those of fire, police and other emergency service providers. In addition to providing an emergency light source, when needed, the Flashlight being developed with such lithium reserve battery will have a port capable, in the alternative to providing light, of recharging a cellular telephone produced by Porsche Design Studio as well as those of other major cellular telephone providers. Since the market for new and innovative portable electronic batteries continues to expand, especially in the field of wireless hand-held devices, the Company believes that its emergency flashlight and reserve battery may benefit significantly from such trend.
Outsourcing
Research and Development
The Company practices an outsourcing model whereby it contracts with third party vendors to perform research and development rather than performing the bulk of these functions internally. For current development of its Flashlight and Reserve Battery, the Company has outsourced the majority of the work It also maintains a small core R/D staff of engineers and scientists in the fields critical for the battery development. From February of 2004 through March of 2007 the Company engaged Lucent/Bell Labs to develop, using the science of nanotechnology, micro power cell arrays creating a structure for zinc batteries that separated the chemicals or electrolytes prior to initial activation. This was done by suspending on nano grass or small spoke like pieces of silicon a liquid electrolyte taking advantage of a super hydrophobic effect that occurs as a result of the ability to manipulate materials of a very small size or less that 1/50,000 the size of a human hair. The Company has, as a result of outsourcing, been able to have access to facilities, equipment and research capabilities that the Company would not be able to develop on its own given the financial resources and time that would be required to build or acquire such research capabilities. The Company has also been able to achieve key strategic alliances with the U.S. Army to successfully test, under military combat conditions, its SmartBattery design, leading to further validation of its path to product development under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). In addition the Company has formed a relationship with Energy Storage Research Group, a center of excellence at Rutgers University, in New Jersey, that has enabled the Company to expand its battery development from a zinc to a lithium battery capable of delivering significantly more power. During the period from March of 2005 to April of 2007, the Company engaged the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. to develop a magnetometer or electronic sensor also using the science of nanotechnology. Although the Company has, in order to conserve financial resources, currently suspended further development of its magnetometer product line, we believe that the intellectual property developed from the research to date could be resumed to develop viable military and industrial products depending upon future financial resources of the Company and future competitive market conditions.
19
Prototype Development
As the Company has moved from development to commercialization of its Emergency Flashlight products utilizing its mechanically activated reserve battery, the Company has outsourced the creation of prototypes to Porsche Design Studio in December of 2008 and MKE, a mechanical design company in Austria that works closely with them. The reserve battery prototype development work has been outsourced to Eagle Picher in early 2009. The Company has engaged Microphase Corporation, a related party under contract for project management and testing of its new Emergency Flashlight and the Reserve Battery used in such Flashlight at a cost of $50,000 per month for 6 months beginning April 1, 2009 and ending on September 30, 2009. Such parties are currently negotiating for a renewal of such contract.
Manufacturing
mPhase subcontracts all of the manufacturing of its products to outside sources including related parties such as Microphase Corporation. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not have any contract for manufacturing its products with outside sources. From April 1, 2009 through August 31, 2009 we paid $50,000 per month to Microphase for project management services in connection with development of the Companys flashlight with Porsche Design Studio and the concurrent development of its mechanically-activated reserve battery by Eagle Picher. The Company believes that such payments are the same as would be charged by other management services provided by non-affiliated third party providers of such services. By using contract manufacturers, mPhase avoids the substantial capital investments required for internal production.
Patents and Licenses
We have filed and intend to file United States patents, in some cases EU 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:
The Company has applied for seven (7) patent applications in the area of battery designs, microfludics and MEMS fabrication. In addition, the Company has two (2) joint patent applications with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, obtained during the development period, and the licensing rights for use of five (5) additional patents from Lucent after the development period.

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 is not currently pursuing further development and marketing of this product owing to the lack of demand for loop diagnostics systems by telephone service providers.
In July of 2009, the Company filed for 3 new patents covering the unique design features of its manually-activated lithium reserve battery and emergency flashlight products.
We also rely on unpatented proprietary technology, and we can make no assurance that others may not independently develop the same or similar technology to ours or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology.
Government Regulation
The Federal Communication Commission, or FCC, and various state public utility and service commissions, regulate most of mPhases potential domestic customers for our TV+ product. Since our further development of our IPTV product and sales efforts have been temporarily suspended, the regulation by the FCC of providers of communications services is currently not of great significance to the Company or its overall financial condition and strategy going forward. To the best of our knowledge, there is no federal or state or local laws to which we are subject that are relevant to our TV+ product as middleware from a regulation and certification standpoint.
Changes in current or future laws or regulations, in the U.S. or elsewhere, could materially adversely affect the Company's business.
Research and Development
mPhase designed the legacy Traverser Digital Video Data Delivery System (DVDDS) product to delivery broadcast television, high-speed internet and voice to customers of telephone service providers. The digital engineering and design was developed primarily on an outsourced basis through Georgia Tech Research Corporation with analog portions of the product developed by Microphase Corporation. As of June 30, 2009, we had been billed a cumulative total of approximately $13,563,000 for research and development conducted by Georgia Tech Research Corporation.
mPhase originally contracted with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. in fiscal year 2002 to reduce the cost of its INI set top box used with the Traverse r DVDDS platform. During fiscal year 2003, the Company engaged Lucent to develop an integrated system with the Lucent Stinger DSLAM and mPhase middleware for the delivery of Television, high speed internet and voice on an open standards system to replace the proprietary Traverser product. Releases 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ solution were designed by Bell Labs to be ATM systems that operated exclusively with the Lucent Stinger DSLAM to enable a telecommunications service provider to deliver broadcast television, voice and high speed internet over DSL.
Release 3.0 of our TV+ system that replaced the ATM protocol that was used in prior releases of the TV+ uses internet protocol and is referred to as out IPTV solution. It was completed during May of 2006 by the Bell Labs division of Alcatel/Lucent Technologies, Inc. under a contract extended in August of 2005. We have not renewed our contract for software development of our TV+ product with Bell Labs. In the aggregate we have paid Bell Labs approximately $4.9 million our TV+ solution.
21
Since 2006 major vendors of further software development for the TV+ included Velankani Communications (the successor to Bell Labs as systems integrator of the TV+), Magpie Telecom Insiders, Inc, Espial Telecommunications, Inc. As of June 30, 2008 we have been billed a cumulative total of approximately $3.2 million for research and development for our TV+ from these vendors. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 such activity was suspended. The Company is currently in disputes with several of its vendors in connection with its TV+ solution regarding the failure of such vendors of deliver certain aspects of its TV+ software that are not, in the Companys opinion of carrie r class quality.
From March of 2005 through March of 2007, the Company had also engaged Bell Labs in under separate Development Agreements for the development of a new generation of ultra magnetic sensors (magnetometers) using the science of nanotechnology with a total cost of $2.4 million. The Company did not renew such its engagement with Bell Labs upon expiration and did not incur any costs with respect to its magnetometer in fiscal year 2008 since the Company has suspended further development of the product to conserve financial resources.
Our SmartNanoBattery and power cell technology research and development was performed by the Bell Labs division of Alcatel/Lucent from February of 2004 through March o f 2007 at an aggregate cost of $3.8 million. The Company paid Bell Labs $300,000 covering the period from April 27, 2007 through July 30,2007 at which time it determined that in order to develop a lithium battery for higher density energy than zinc, it required facilities capable of handling lithium battery research that Bell Labs does not have. The Company has engaged a number of small foundries during fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 for commercialization of its SmartNanoBattery at a cost of approximately $150,000. In fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 the Company engaged Eagle Picher at a cost of $75,000 to design and engineer a prototype of its manually-activated lithium reserve battery and Posche Design studio at a cost of $79,123 for design of its emergency flashlight product. In addition, the Company has secured a Co-Branding Agreement with Porsche Design Studio for its emergency flashlight product. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company engaged Silex, a silicon foundry in Sweden, at a cost of $21,200 for further development of its SmartNanoBattery.
Employees
mPhase and its subsidiary companies presently have a total of 9 full-time employees and consultants, two of whom are also employed by Microphase Corporation. See the description in the section entitled Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATED TO FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF OUR BUSINESS
The Company has been forced to curtail development of all products except its SmartBattery and Emergency Flashlight in order to conserve financial resources
The Company has currently been forced to focus exclusively on commercialization of only one of its products thereby eliminating product diversification. The Companys lack of financial resources to simultaneously develop multiple products increases its overall risk profile as a development-stage company.
mPhases stock price has suffered significant declines during the past eight years and remains volatile.
The market price of our common stock closed at $7.88 on July 26, 2000 and closed at $.028 on August 14, 2009. During such period the number of shares outstanding of the Company increased from approximately 30 million shares to 900 million shares. Such increase was the result of periodic private placements by the Company in order to finance company operations. Stocks in micro cap companies having stock values below $1.00 per share been very volatile during such period. Our common stock is a highly speculative investment and is suitable only for such investors with financial resources that enable them to sustain the loss of their entire investment in such stock. Because the price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and is not traded on the NASDAQ National or NASDAQ Small Cap exchanges, it is considered to be a penny stock limiting the type of customers that broker/dealers can sell to. Such customers consist only of established customers and Accredited Investors (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended-generally individuals and entities of substantial net worth) thereby limiting the liquidity of our common stock.
We may not be able to raise sufficient capital to meet bring our SmartNanoBattery and Emergency Flashlight and other applications of our technology to market.
We may not be able to obtain the amount of additional capital needed until the Company has established a 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 markets view of the business sector of nanotechnology reserve batteries and emergency flashlights. |
|
|
|
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 1996 through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and may not be able to operate profitability in the future.
23
We have had net losses of approximately $188 million since our inception in 1996 including approximately $15.5 million and $3.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively and cannot be certain when or if we will ever be profitable. We expect to continue to have net losses for the foreseeable future and have a need to raise not less than $5 million in additional cash in the next 12 months through further equity private placements and existing convertible debt arrangements to continue operations. As of June 30, 2009 we have negative working capital of approximately $3.9 million and a stockholders deficit of $5.0 million. Cumulative negative cash flow from operations since inception has amounted to approximately $82.3 million
Economic support from affiliated companies has been significant.
During the downturn in the telecommunications industry beginning in 2001, both Microphase Corporation, and Janifast Ltd. provided significant financial support to mPhase in the form of either cash infusions or conversions of related party debt. Janifast Ltd shut down its operations in March of 2009 owing to its financial condition and is currently being liquidated. Such companies, which share common management with mPhase, are under no legal obligation to and may not be able to sustain such economic support of mPhase in the future should such support be necessary.
Our independent auditors report expresses doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The reports of the Companys outside auditors, Rosenberg, Rich, Baker, Berman & Company and its prior auditors Arthur Andersen & Co. with respect to its latest audited 10K for each of the fiscal years commencing in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 through the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, stated that there is substantial doubt of the Companys 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 needed capital necessary to continue our operations.
Our common stock is subject to significant dilution upon issuance of shares we have reserved for future issuance.
As of June 30, 2009 outstanding convertible debt plus accrued interest is equal to $3,437,750 all of which has the right to convert into additional shares of our common stock at discounts of up to 25% of mPhases then current stock price computed on a formula basis that may adversely affect the future price of our common stock. As of June 30, 2009 we have warrants and options convertible into 286,376,646 shares of our common stock at $.05 per share or less that, upon exercise may result in significant future dilution to many of our current shareholders and may adversely affect the future price of our common stock. We may be forced to raise additional cash for operations by selling additional shares of our common stock to shareholders at depressed prices resulting in further dilution to our shareholders.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS
We have been a development-stage company since our inception in 1996 and have not to date had a significant or successful deployment of any of our flagship product including our SmartBattery and our Reserve Flashlight products.
We have derived no material revenues from our SmartBattery from inception of development in February 2004 through June 30, 2009 or the Emergency Flashlight and we have been forced to discontinue further product development and marketing of both our TV+ and Magnetometer products owing to limited financial resources.
The loss of key personnel could adversely affect our business
Management and employment contracts with all of our officers have expired and no assurances can be given that such executives will remain with the Company or that the Company will be able to successfully enter into agreements with such key executives. All of our 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 if our stock price declines or experiences significant volatility.
24
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 SmartNanoBattery and our proprietary rights with respect to the Companys 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. We have four patents pending with respect to our SmartNanoBattery product and 3 partents pending with respect to our Emergency Flashlight and the reserve battery it utilizes in order to protect our product, however no patents have yet been granted. Our pending patent applications may never be granted for various reasons, including the existence of conflicting patents or defects in our applications. Even if a U.S. patent is 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, in order to bring patent litigation based upon claims of patent infringement.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR TARGETED MAKETS
The sale of new high technology products often has a long lead-time and a multiplicity of risks.
Commercialization of new technology products often have very long lead time since it is not possible to predict when major companies will license such technology for sale to their customers. The Science of Nanotechnology and Microfluidics used to develop our SmartNanoBattery is in its very early stages and acceptance and demand for such products can often be a long evolutionary process. In the case of the Companys IPTV solution the roll-out of delivery of broadcast television by telephone service providers using internet protocol has taken 10 years to develop and is still moving slowly which has resulted in the Company currently delaying any further development of such product to conserve financial resources.
The science of nanotechnology is at a very early stage as a discipline and is subject to great uncertainty and swift changes in technology.
Micro fluid 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.
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 Exxon with great resources that are currently focusing significant monies for new solutions.
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.
25
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 SmartBattery and our potential applications of our technology are components of end products and therefore the products are tied to the success of such 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 are SmartBattery and other applications of our technology success will depend upon the continuing need for the end user products over which will depend upon market demand.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our corporate headquarters is located at 587 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06854-1711. The Company leases this office space from Microphase Corporation under a facilities agreement with Microphase that provides that mPhase lease office space, lab facilities and administrative staff on a month-to-month basis for $3,000 month. The Company also maintains an office in Little Falls and Newark, New Jersey with monthly rent of $2,244 per month.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On November 9, 2007, Magpie Telecom Insiders, Inc (Magpie) filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court in the State of Colorado alleging a breach of contract by mPhase in connection with a Statement of Work dated July 10, 2006 in connection with software supplied by Magpie for mPhases TV+ solution. The claim alleged the failure of mPhase to make payments amounting to $679,969 under the contract. mPhase asserted a number of affirmative defenses to the claim including deficiencies in the software delivered by Magpie and failure to deliver support services by Magpie. mPhase counterclaimed against Magpie asserting that the software delivered was not of carrier class standards required in the telecommunications industry and that Magpie sold or attempted to sell mPhase common stock received in connection with a modification of the payments due under the Statement of Work in violation of Rule 10b-5 and the Federal Securities Laws. Effective March 13, 2009, the Company, entered into a Settlement Agreement with Magpie. Neither party made any admission of liability in connection with the settlement. As a result of the settlement, the Company removed $175,000 in Accounts Payable and cancelled 1,926,470 shares of its common stock issued to Magpie and returned under the settlement to the Company. The terms of the settlement otherwise resulted in no material change in circumstances to the Company.
From time to time mPhase may be involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business.

Effective March 31, 2002, the Company converted $420,872 of liabilities due to Piper Rudnick LLP, outside legal counsel to mPhase pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Act into a warrant to purchase up to a total of $1,683,490 shares of the Companys common stock which pursuant to EITF 96 18, has an approximate value of $.30 per share and a warrant to purchase 550,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $.30 per share pursuant to the terms of payment agreement. In addition, Piper agreed to accept a Promissory note for $420,872 of current payables at an interest rate of 8% with payments of $5,000 per month commencing June 1, 2002 and continuing through December 1, 2003, with a final payment of principal plus accrued interest due at maturity on December 31, 2003. Additionally, 1,022,996 shares of common stock were issued to strategic vendors, the value of which was based upon the price of the Companys common stock on the effective date of settlement with each strategic vendor, to settle $761,786 of liabilities pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Act. The conversion of $1,182,658 of such liabilities which, together with gains from cash settlements of $27,960 resulted in an aggregate gain on extinguishments of $142,236.
d.) Effective for June 30 2002, the Company converted $360,000 of liabilities due to Microphase and $80,000 of liabilities due to Janifast into 2,250,000 and 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock, respectively, pursuant to debt conversion agreements pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Act.
From August 2001 to June 2002, we issued an aggregate of 2,976,068 shares of common stock to consultants for an aggregate of $1,202,997. We also issued an aggregate of 2,675,000 warrants to consultants for an aggregate of $1,040,000. Each transaction was pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act.
During the year ended June 30, 2003, we issued 4,296,680 shares of Common Stock at $.30 per share plus 5 year warrants to purchase 4,296,680 shares of Common Stock at $.30 per share in a Private Placement pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Act, generating net proceeds to the company of approximately $1,164,000.
During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company issued 426,000 shares of its common stock valued at $112,245 and 1,690,000 warrants, valued at $203,150 based upon the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recorded these charges, totaling $318,395 to operations for the year ended June 30, 2003. Each transaction was pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company converted certain payables and accrued expenses with officers, related parties and strategic vendors pursuant to Section 4(2) and to Section 3(a)(9) of the Act aggregating approximately $1.9 million into 5,923,333 restricted shares of the Companys common stock and 5 year warrants to purchase an additional 3,706,800 restricted shares of the Companys common stock. Of these, 5,533,333 shares of common stock and 3,491,800 warrants were issued in settlement of $1,748,756 of debt to related parties as follows:
a.) The conversion of $620,000 and $360,000 of liabilities due to Microphase corporation, and Janifast Ltd into 3,033,000 shares and 1,500,000 shares of stock, respectively. The value attributable to the shares was based upon the market price of the Companys common stock on the measurement date, such date was determined pursuant to EITF00-1, as to when all the contingent terms of the conversion agreements were met, in which no gain or loss was recognized on the conversion of $980,000 of debt, and;
b.) Also included in such conversions during the year ended June, 30 2003, were transactions whereby the Company converted $525,967 of liabilities; $269,362 due to the Companys president, $211,605 due to the vice president and $45,000 due to the a sales manager who is also concurrently employed by Microphase, for unpaid management compensation and sales commissions due from mPhase into warrants to purchase up to a total of 2,656,500 shares of the Companys common stock.

Arrangement #2
In February 2008, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture transaction which involved the receipt of $500,000 cash, a note payable of $550,000 and the issuance of 3,250,000 shares of stock valued at $260,000. The relative fair value of the shares was $105,000 as of June 30, 2008. The terms of the debenture provide for a 7.5% interest rate, a due date of February 2012 and allow similar conversion privileges equal to 75% of the average of the three lowest prices over a 20 day period. The derivative value of such security was estimated to be $581,428 on the date of issuance. On June 30, 2008, this value had decreased to $142,593 creating a non cash credit to earnings of $438,835. The cost of the shares issued and related debt discount is being amortized to expense over the life of the debenture. In the event of default under the note payable the holder is entitled to certain compensatory fees.
Arrangement #3
In April, 2008, the Company received proceeds of $300,000 under a Securities Purchase Agreement. This transaction involves three related agreements: 1) A Securities Purchase Agreement which may under certain circumstances permit the Company to draw up to $1,300,000 of funds; 2) Two Convertible Debentures totaling $1,450,000, with a one time interest factor of 12% and a maturity date of March 25, 2011 and 3) A Secured Note Receivable in the amount of $1.0 million, with a one time interest factor of 13.2 % and maturity dates of March 25, 2012 due from the same parties who are the holders of the Convertible Debentures.
Conversion of outstanding debentures into common shares is at the option of the holder. The number of shares into which this debenture can be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture divided by 75%- 80% of the 3 lowest Volume Weighted Average Prices during a 20 day trading period. At the time of the transaction the derivative value of this security was calculated to be $2,493,212. On June 30, 2008, given the decrease in the stock price, this value had decreased to, $284,922 creating a non-cash credit to earnings over the year of $2,208,290. In addition, the transaction resulted in a note discount which is being amortized as expense over the life of the loan. Draws under the Note Receivable are not anticipated until October 2008 and is collateralized by $1 million of Blue Chip Stocks. In total 2 million shares were issued in connection with the convertible debenture with a relative fair value of $160,000 included in debt discount.

Additionally $57,375 of prior notes plus accrued interest outstanding were settled by the issuance of 5,775,000 shares of common stock. All other debt converted involved long term convertible debentures which are discussed below.
Long Term Convertible Debentures / Note Receivable / Debt Discount and related Interest
From December of 2007 through August of 2009, the Company has entered into six separate convertible debt arrangements with independent investors.
General
The economic substance of convertible debt arrangements entered into beginning December 2007 was to provide the Company with needed liquidity to supplement the private equity markets.
The form of the transaction may involve the following:
|
|
|
The receipt of cash |
|
|
|
The issuance of a note payable from mPhase. |
|
|
|
The issuance of a note receivable due to mPhase |
|
|
|
A Securities Purchase Agreement |
|
|
|
The note payable contains conversion features which permit the holder to convert debt into equity. Such debt is eligible to be converted into the Companys common stock immediately, thus requiring the recording of the entire liability upfront. Finally, to encourage conversion, a discount from market value was offered. |
|
|
|
The aggregate amount of notes payable exceeded the amount of cash received. As Consideration for this difference the Company took back a secured Note Receivable. Security is generally liquid investments of the investor. |
|
|
|
The note receivable provides a commitment to fund mPhase. The notes are secured and collateralized and carry terms which are different from the related note payable and no right of offset exist. |
39
Derivative Value and Debt Discount
It was determined that the value of the note payable to the holder (investor) was primarily due to the favorable conversion features of the note. In accordance with SFAS 133, the conversion feature requires the bifurcation of the embedded derivative from the host document and separate reporting of the embedded conversion feature at fair value determined by a Black-Scholes calculation. The value of the agreement includes the conversion feature and the variable amount of shares that may be converted at any particular point in time. As such and under GAAP, our Balance Sheet reflects the value of the embedded conversion feature as Derivative Value and the corresponding contra account to Notes Payable called Debt Discount.
At the end of every quarter the fair value of Derivative Securities is reviewed and adjustments made accordingly. The volatility of the stock price, the amount and variable number of shares involved and the low price of our stock has caused this value to fluctuate significantly. In addition, the debt discount is adjusted for any conversions and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.
A summary of our arrangements are as follows:
Arrangement #1 (Golden Gate Investors)
In December, 2007, the Company received proceeds of $500,000 under a Securities Purchase Agreement. This transaction involves three related agreements: 1) A Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2007, which may under certain circumstances permitted the Company to draw up to $6.0 of funds; 2) A Convertible Debenture in the amount of $1.5 million, with an interest rate of 7 ¼% and a maturity date of December 11, 2010 and 3) A Secured Note Receivable in the amount of $1.0 million, with an interest rate of 8 ¼% and a maturity date of February 1, 2011 due from the same parties who are the holders of the Convertible Debentures. In March of 2009, by mutual consent of the parties, the Securities Purchase Agreement was terminated. Total draws under this facility were $1.5 million.
Conversion of the outstanding debenture into common shares is at the option of the holder. The number of shares into which this debenture was converted is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture divided by the lesser of $.35 per share or 80% of the 3 lowest Volume Weighted Average Prices during the 20 day trading period prior to conversion. At the time of the transaction (December 11, 2007) the derivative value of the conversion feature was calculated to be $1,678,471. On June 30, 2008, given the decrease in the Companys stock price, this value had decreased to $322,636. As of June 30, 2009 all of the related debt had been converted and no derivative value balance remained. This has resulted in an increase in earnings for the year of $322,636. In addition, the transaction resulted in a note discount of $1.5 million which has been amortized as expense. During the year ended June 30, 2009, amortization of debt discount amounted to $1,122,649.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, $1,365,000 of such debt was converted into 74,368,943 shares of common stock and the Company received a total of $950,000 under the provisions of the related Note Receivable.

GRANITA MEDIA |
|
|
|
Effective July 1, 2007, the Company formed Granita Media, Inc. to separate its IPTV business and facilitate the raising of capital. Pursuant to an arrangement with 4 employees of mPhase, such employees were terminated from mPhase as of July 1, 2007 and became employees of Granita Media, Inc and invested solely in the common stock of Granita Media, Inc. Under the arrangement, each of the 4 employees was required to invest $125,000 in exchange for an aggregate 2% equity interest in Granitia Media, Inc with mPhase continuing to own 98% of the Company. The 4 employees contributed a total of $339,000 of the total $500,000 equity investment required from them and raised from third party investors another $175,000 for a total of $514,000. Granita Media has 19,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding of which 18,000,000 was owned by mPhase Technology and 1,000,000 is being held for issuance to the 4 employees and the third party investors pending an agreement among such persons of the allocation of such shares. |
42
|
|
|
Under the terms of the arrangement between mPhase and the 4 employees, such employees were authorized to sell up to 7.99% of additional equity in the Company for a total of not less than $2,000,000 of additional capital by December 31, 2007. As noted above, the employees raised a total of $175,000 of outside capital only and pursuant to the arrangement, such employees either resigned or were terminated by mPhase together with several lower level employees of Granita. A dispute has arisen between Granita Media and one of the former employees with respect to a sum of approximately $176,000 included in short term loans. It is the Companys position that such sums were voluntarily advanced to fund operating expenses after July 1, 2007. Since the 4 employee / officers of Granita Media were required to cover operating expenses of Granita Media after July 1, 2007 through equity investments either directly or from third parties, the Company has taken the position that such amount nor any related interest and fees are not owed to the employee. In addition, the Company has substantial rights of offset for unpaid rent with respect to the portion of its Little Falls office occupied by Granita Media after July 1, 2007. |
|
|
|
During the FYE June 30, 2009, Granita Media Inc did not conduct any operations and management is considering all alternatives including the possible sale of the IPTV business. |

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors, which have affected mPhases financial position and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements, financial data and the related notes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: XDSL.OB) is a development company specializing in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nano- technology. Through its wholly owned subsidiary AlwaysReady, Inc., mPhase is focused on commercializing its first nanotechnology-enabled product for military and commercial applications - The Smart NanoBattery providing Power On CommandTM. Our new well-patented battery technology, based on the phenomenon of electrowetting, offers a unique way to store energy and manage power that will 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 for self- cleaning applications, water purification/desalination, liquid filtration/separation, and drug delivery. mPhase has been awarded 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 Nano- Battery for a critical computer memory application. mPhase Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Little Falls, New Jersey, with additional offices in Norwalk, Connecticut, and New York City.
mPhase Technologies, Inc., is an inventive and innovative development company specializing in microfluidics, micro- electromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology.A public company trading under the stock symbol OTC BB: XDSL, mPhase was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Little Falls, New Jersey, with additional offices in Norwalk, Connecticut, and New York City.In 2004, mPhase Technologies collaborated with the renowned Bell Laboratories to develop a new technology called the Smart NanoBattery that has the potential to revolutionize the battery industry. This well-patented technology is based on a phenomenon known as electrowetting that provides a unique way to activate the battery to gain access to energy stored and manage power. The platform technology behind the Smart NanoBattery is a porous nanostructured component that repels and precisely controls the flow of certain liquid.
mPhases Smart NanoBattery technology has been incorporated in leading-edge research and development projects supported by various groups within the U.S. Army for mission critical static random access memory (SRAM) backup and guided munitions applications. mPhase also sees opportunities beyond batteries given the versatility of its enabling platform technology.
m Phase received a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program Phase I grant last year for $100,000 from the U.S. Army and in September 2008 was awarded a prestigious $750,000 (net $500,000) Phase II STTR grant to continue battery development work for the SRAM project. The company has also been working with the U.S. Army as part of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).
Recently, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, mPhase has focused on development of a lithium Smart NanoBattery. Working closely with Rutgers University, mPhase introduced the first version of the lithium Smart NanoBattery designed for portable electronics and microelectronic applications.
One version of the lithium battery based on a breakable separator is being developed for an emergency flashlight application. mPhase collaborates with other companies and organizations and is actively seeking partners interested in using the Smart NanoBattery or its platform technology for power systems and other applications.

Controlling Surface Properties
The surface is an important part of virtually every physical object and often plays an overriding role in many processes, beyond just connectivity and structural support, but more deeply into areas involving chemical and biological interactions. In some instances, the surface provides an easy entry into the chemical or biological systems, in others it protects the internal elements of the object, surrounded by the surfaces.
Microscopic Changes, World-Changing Innovation mPhases platform technology is the Smart Surface. By being able to control the surface properties of materials down to the nanometer scale, new and improved devices can be designed and built that may lead to compelling business opportunities. One type of smart surface of particular interest allows the properties to be changed in response to an external stimulus.
Initially, mPhases development focused on MEMS devices by manipulating the surface of silicon materials the same material used to make microelectronic materials and devices. Using physical and chemical processes, the surface of the silicon is modified to make solid porous structures known as membranes. This is where microfluidics comes into play. These membranes can be used to selectively control the flow of liquids through the pores or openings at the micrometer length scale.
Surfaces may be characterized as hydrophilic or hydrophobic depending on whether or not they attract or repel water (or other liquids). A hydrophilic surface can be wet and adsorbs water. A hydrophobic surface, on the other hand, cannot be wet. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces are abundant in nature and in synthetic materials, both organic and inorganic in chemical composition.
Platform Technology
A familiar example of a hydrophilic surface is a sponge that readily soaks up water. By contrast, many plant leaves and flower petals are hydrophobic, as are insect parts and bird feathers. Synthetic hydrophobic surfaces include ScotchgardTM treated fabric, Teflon® coated metal, or Rain-X® coated glass. On a hydrophobic surface, water beads up and can move around without being absorbed by the solid material that it is resting on.
Engineering Inspired by Nature
But there is more. So-called superhydrophobic surfaces are also found in nature and can now be replicated in the lab. The lotus leaf and rose petal, for example, exhibit superhydrophobicity. Here water droplets form almost perfect spheres with hardly any contact with the underlying solid surface. This makes the liquid even easier to move and manipulate.
The synthesis of superhydrophobic surfaces has recently been made possible by advances in nanotechnology and mPhase is leading the way to better understand and create materials and devices incorporating these unique surface properties.
49
Enormous Application Possibilities
As mPhases research and development efforts evolve, in addition to silicon materials, the ability to control the surface properties of materials can be extended to other substances such as polymers, ceramics, metals and fibers as examples, providing opportunities for our platform technology to be used in a range of potential applications such as energy storage and power management for portable electronics and microelectronics, self-cleaning surfaces, filters for water purification or desalination systems, materials for environmental remediation that separate liquids or solvents, and other situations where the control of the interaction of a solid surface exposed to a liquid is vitally important.
Building a Better Battery
Battery technology has changed little in its fundamentals over the past 150 years. As a result, ordinary batteries begin dissipating energy as soon as they are assembled and therefore have limited shelf life. Chemistries are fixed inside the package so the user cannot interact with the contents to program functionality. The size and form of batteries have not kept pace with the miniaturization of electrical components, microprocessors and integrated circuits. As a result, the optimal implementation of an electronic device is not always achieved. Some batteries contain chemicals that are not considered safe or environmentally friendly (green). This makes disposal a potential issue.
mPhase is challenging this convention by using their proprietary superhydrophobic porous silicon membrane technology as the basis to build the Smart NanoBattery providing Power On CommandTM.
Infinite Shelf Life & Improved Power Management
Superhydrophobicity initially keeps the liquid electrolyte physically separated from the solid electrodes of the battery, thus preventing the chemical reactions from occurring that cause the battery to provide power. This gives the Smart NanoBattery the benefit of potentially infinite shelf life.
A conventional battery loses some capacity while sitting on the shelf in its package or stored in an electronic or electrical device, even before being used for the first time. On the other hand, the Smart NanoBattery is built so that it is inactive and remains that way indefinitely until it is turned on. No power is lost to self-discharge or leakage current prior to activation. When needed, the Smart NanoBattery can be activated on command via the phenomenon of electrowetting. The surface properties of the porous silicon membrane are selectively controlled to shift instantly from a superhydrophobic to hydrophilic state. In other words, electrowetting acts as the triggering mechanism.
By incorporating the phenomenon of electrowetting on nanostructured surfaces into a revolutionary way of storing energy, the Smart NanoBattery provides power to portable electronic and microelectronic devices exactly when and where it is needed. It is an alternative and an augmentation to conventional batteries, still converting stored chemical energy into usable electrical energy, but in a way that is potentially more reliable, more versatile, more environmentally friendly, and less expensive than the industry norm.
New Products developed during Fiscal Year 2009
mPhase has successfully fabricated and demonstrated its first 3-volt lithium-based based upon a mechanical and industrial engineering design allowing manual instead of electrical activation by the user, a feature known as Power on CommandTM. The battery will be used as a reserve battery in the Companys new emergency flashlight being developed by and Co-Branded with Porsche Design Studio that designs high-end accessory products for the Porsche automobile company. By separation of the electrolyte in a proprietary pouch that is triggered by a patent-pending designed trigger mechanism, the battery also has a shelf life far longer than conventional batteries. The Company has completed a prototype design and is anticipating commercial production and distribution of its emergency flashlight during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.
50
Delivering Guaranteed Power on Command
mPhase is exploring military and commercial applications of smart surfaces in which the properties can be accurately and precisely controlled down to the nanometer scale. Electrowetting allows the switching from a hydrophobic to hydrophilic state as a result of an electronic stimulus.
The Smart NanoBattery, mPhases first smart surface product, has a unique architecture that enables a shelf life of decades, remote activation, programmable control, scalable manufacturing, and adaptability to multiple configurations. The value proposition to the end user is to have a source of energy or power that is literally always ready - reliable, convenient, low cost - a battery guaranteed to work at full capacity when and where needed
The Smart NanoBattery can conceivably supply power on command to a wide variety of portable electronic and microelectronic devices used in military, medical, industrial, and consumer applications.
mPhase has already proven that the battery works in lab tests as well as in a significant field test conducted for the U.S. Army as part of a guided munitions project. The relationship with the Army also includes a $850,000 funded project to develop a battery for a mission critical computer memory backup application. The target is a small footprint, 3-volt lithium battery with a minimum shelf life of 20 years and uninterruptible power output during this time period. No other battery technology available today can deliver the long-term performance requirements specified by the U.S. Army for this application.
The Smart NanoBattery can potentially be designed to accommodate a variety of sophisticated portable electronic and microelectronic devices including next- generation cell phones and PDAs, handheld gaming devices, wireless sensor systems, RFID tags, high-tech flashlights and beacons, health alert alarms, and non- implantable and implantable medical devices such as pacemakers.
Initial applications will address the need to supply emergency and backup power to a range of products for defense and security, with future applications in the commercial and consumer arenas.
As its first commercial product, mPhase is developing an emergency flashlight using a simplified version of the Smart NanoBattery with a patent-pending breakable separator in place of the electrowettable membrane. The emergency flashlight is envisioned as a compact device that would be activated with a simple push-button switch to provide Power On CommandTM in the event of an emergency. The device would be ideal for storing in the glove compartment of a car, on boats, trains or planes, coupled with fire extinguishers, or packed with safety, first aid and survival kits.
Electrowetting is the physical phenomenon by which a voltage is used to change the wetting properties of a liquid/solid interface. An example of this is a water droplet on a hydrophobic (water repelling) surface. A water droplet will minimize its contact with such a surface. In its battery application, mPhase uses electrowetting as a new technique to activate a battery once it is ready for first time use.

CURRENT PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Company is currently finalizing the design and development of its first generation emergency flashlight product containing its manually-activated reserve battery. The Company expects that limited commercial production and distribution for sale of such flashlight will occur not later than the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Expanded Market Potential for Proprietary Membrane Technology -
The core membrane technology used to enable the Smart NanoBatterys propriety membrane design can potentially be used to develop other non-power source applications and products. The Companys market potential for using the membrane design of this patent pending core technology broadens the application areas outside the portable power energy field.
The Companys permeable membrane design consisting of both micro and nano scale silicon features, that are coated with a monolayer chemistry used to repel liquids. The membrane works using microfluidics principle that permits the dynamic control of surfaces when interacting with liquids, and as a result, the membrane can be tuned to filter out certain types of materials. In the reserve battery application, the properties of the membrane are used to create a super hydrophobic that prevents the batteries electrolyte from coming into contact with the dry electrodes of the battery until activation. In a similar way, the membrane can be designed so that it can control the passing of liquids through the pores of the membrane, acting as a filter, allowing and restricting materials to pass through the membrane. This ability opens up the potential to use the membranes design in new configurations for applications that require controlled filtering of materials used in the health, environmental, food services as well as other industries.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
mPhase throughout its history has outsourced its research and development activity with respect to all of its product lines. The Company engaged the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies in February of 2004 to development a power cell using the science of nanotechnology. The Company terminated its development efforts with Lucent Bell Labs in fiscal years 2008 with respect to micro power cell products using the science of nanotechnology since the facilities at Bell Labs were only able to provide development of zinc based batteries. The Company has determined that in order to develop a commercially viable product that higher energy lithium based batteries are required and has established a research relationship with Rutgers University that has facilities capable of handling development of lithium batteries.
From March of 2005 through March of 2007, the Company pursuant to the terms of a Project Development Agreement engaged Bell Labs to development a magnetometer or electronic sensor products using the science of nanotechnology. Such Project Development Agreement was not renewed by the Company in order to conserve financial resources. No further development has occurred on the magnetometer, however, the Company, believes that the intellectual property created may have significant value in the future depending upon further scientific progress in the field and market developments.
Since inception, but prior to the end fiscal year 2006, the Company incurred $13.5 million for research and development conducted by Georgia Tech Research Corporation in connection with its legacy Traverser DVDDS technology that was a proprietary end to end solution of hardware and software enabling telecommunications service providers to delivery broadcast television, high-speed internet and voice over copper telephone lines In fiscal year 2003 the Company began the transition of its product to development of a carriers standard open platform using middleware platform and transferred its research and development from Georgia Tech Research Corporation to the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies Inc. In May of 2007, the Company decided not to renew its Project Development Agreement for its TV+ solution with Bell Labs and chose a number of new software vendors to finalize its IPTV solution. The Company incurred research and development expenses with Lucent for fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 of $2.3 million and $4.4 million. It should be noted that all such expenditures during with Lucent/Bell Labs in FYE 2007, have been in connection with Nanotechnology.
During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $188,000 related to the development IPTV solutions compared to $4.1 million for the same period ended June 30, 2007. In addition the Company incurred research and development expenses for the fiscal year June 30, 2008 of $800,000 for its nanotechnology products as compared to $2.3 million for fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
The amount of research and development costs the Company has expended from its inception through June 30, 2009 is $60,216,173. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $1,225,655 all of which was in connection with its nanotechnology, manually activated battery and emergency flashlight products.
STRATEGIC ALLIANCES IMPLEMENTED
The Company and Lucent share jointly in certain intellectual property developed with respect to nanotechnology products. The Company has established a working relationship with Rutgers University for development and testing of Lithium based batteries. In addition, the Company has a co-branding agreement with Porsche Design Studio for its emergency flashlight product.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS), No.2, Accounting for Research and Development Cost.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R revised SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires companies to measure and recognize 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. Effective, July 1,2005, the Company adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method, and has recorded as an expense the fair value of all stock based grants to employees after such date The Company has not restated its operating results for any prior fiscal year end or quarter.
REPARATION EXPENSE
As an incentive for additional equity contributions, the Company will from time to time, adjust the cost of past private purchases of common stock through the issuance of additional shares in such magnitude as to reduce an investors cost to an average price that more closely approximates current market value. The market value of additional shares issued without cash investment is charged to Reparation Expense, which is included in Other Expenses.
MATERIAL RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company records material related party transactions. The Company incurs costs for engineering, design and production of prototypes and certain administrative functions from Microphase Corporation and the purchase of finished goods, primarily consisting of DSL splitter shelves and filters, from Janifast Limited. In March of 2009, Janifast Ltd ceased operations and began a process of liquidation owing to its financial condition as well as the global financial crisis that began in September of 2008.
The Company has incurred costs for obtaining transmission rights. This enabled the Company to obtain re-transmission accreditation to proprietary television content that the Company plans to provide with its flagship product, the Traverser within its incorporated joint venture mPhase Television.Net, in which the Company owns a 56.5% interest.
Directors that are significant shareholders of Janifast Limited include Messrs Ronald A. Durando, Gustave T. Dotoli, and the Chairman of Microphase Corporation Necdet F. Ergul.
Mr. Abraham Biderman is a Managing Director of Eagle Advisers, Inc., a firm that performs investment banking services for the Company and was employed until September 30, 2003 by our former investment banking firm Lipper & Company.
Mr. Durando, the President and CEO of mPhase, owns a controlling interest and is a director of Janifast Limited. Mr. Durando is Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Dotoli is an officer of Microphase Corporation. Mr. Ergul, who was the chairman of the board of mPhase until November 2007, owns a controlling interest and is a director of Microphase Corporation and Janifast Ltd. Microphase, Janifast and Hart Telephone have converted significant liabilities to equity in fiscal years June 30, 2001, 2002 and in the current fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Through June 30, 2009, the Company has incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $187,798,017 and had cash and cash equivalents of $153,536. At June 30, 2009, mPhase had a working capital deficit of $3,990,645 as compared to a working capital deficit of $3,853,019 as of June 30, 2008. The Company has a Convertible Debenture equity line of credit with JMJ Financial that should enable the Company to raise $300,000 per month for the next fiscal year. Draws under this facility commenced in March of 2008. The Company believes this will be sufficient for its short-term liquidity. In the longer term, we estimate that the Company will need to raise approximately $5-10 million of additional capital above the funds anticipated from the monthly conversion by JMJ, to meet longer term liquidity needs through June 30, 2010. Such monies would be necessary primarily to fund future expenditures for commercialization of its SmartBattery products. Finally, depending upon sales and margins in fiscal year 2010, additional capital may be required to fund a portion of any growth necessary in operations.
Cash used in operating activities was $2,953,108 million during the twelve months ending June 30, 2009. During such period, the cash used by operating activities consists principally of the net loss ($15,529,677) less non cash changes related to convertible debt issued and associated changes in derivative value ($3,199,854) and the reduction of accounts payable ($118,065). These amounts are offset in part by non-cash charges related to issuance of common stock and options for services and reparation cost of $7,596,563 and $380,172 respectively.
During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company raised capital through private placements with accredited investors, whereby the Company issued 72,333,333 million shares of the Companys common stock, generating net proceeds to the Company of $720,000.
56
During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company raised capital through private placements with accredited investors, whereby the Company issued 24.6 million shares of the Companys common stock, generating net proceeds to the Company of $1,144,247 and generated $650,000 of funds through the conversion of warrants into 11,111,113 shares of the Companys common stock.
As a result, conversion of debt with related parties and strategic vendors during the periods enumerated is as follows:

LOSSES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND MANAGEMENTS PLANS
Through June 30, 2009, the Company incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $187.8 million and at June 30, 2009 had a working capital deficit of $8,423,816. Funding in our tradition capital markets was difficult during FYE 2009. Management of the Company desired to avoid unnecessary dilution by issuing large amounts of equity at depressed prices to raise larger sums of cash. Alternatively the Company was able to enter into Convertible Debt arrangements with independent investors to provide liquidity and capital resources during the year. Such arrangements should provide the Company with approximately $300,000 per month through August of 2010. These arrangements will likely provide much of the working capital anticipated to be needed during the next FYE. In addition and from time to time during FYE 2009, the Company raised necessary working capital via bridge loans from officers. Such loans have subsequently been repaid (see notes payable to officers). 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, (3) continue its efforts to commercialize and sell and receive military grants for its SmartBattery (4) commercialize and sell its emergency flashlight containing its manually- activated reserve battery.
The Company is currently focused upon development and commercialization of its emergency flashlight Always Ready battery product as well as completing its Phase II Army Grant to develop a single and multiple array of reserve batteries for a computer backup source of power using the science of nanotechnology. The Company believes that such battery has a much longer shelf life than conventional batteries and will have significant commercial and military applications. The Company has temporarily suspended, to conserve financial resources, development of its magnetometer sensor devices also developed using the science of nanotechnology. In addition, although the Company has suspended all activity related to its IPTV business, it continues to believe that the intellectual property created over years of development of its TV+ solution may have significant value as the market for IPTV further develops.
On August 30, 2004, the Company entered into a Payment Agreement with Piper & Rudnick LLC, its outside counsel in connection with the renegotiation of a Payment Agreement effective June 30, 2004. The Company, currently owes $65,000 that is overdue under the terms of such agreement.

ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
The Company is not exposed to changes in interest rates as the Company has no floating rate 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 interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of any financial instruments at June 30, 2008. We believe that interest rate risks for our accounts receivable are insignificant. Sales to customers are denominated in dollars. Accordingly, we are not directly exposed to market risks from currency fluctuations.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
See pages beginning 73.
ITEM 8A.
Assessment of Internal Controls
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has implemented disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys Exchange Act reports are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of June 30, 2009, the management of the Company carried out an assessment, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). As of the date of this assessment, the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009, as deemed appropriate for the size and scope of the Companys transactions and financial reporting requirements; however we did note certain deficiencies considered to be a reportable condition described below.
The Companys management performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including detailed validation work with regard to all the balance sheet account balances, additional analysis on income statement amounts and managerial review of all significant account balances and disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, to ensure that the Companys Annual Report and the financial statements forming part thereof are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Companys financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the interim or annual financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
58
The Companys management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our evaluation concluded that the company had no material weakness which would result in the reasonable possibility of a material misstatement described above; yet it did bring certain matters to our attention and we noted that we consider being a reportable condition.
Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control that in our judgment, could adversely affect the organizations ability to record, summarize and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the financial statements.
We noted that a condition which management considered to be a reportable condition existed because of the Companys lack of sufficient resources of sufficient resources of accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience commensurate with the increasingly expanding financial reporting requirements of the Company, in both scope and complexity, as promulgated by SEC and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company has obtained, on a fee basis, an outside consultant to act as an accounting manager to assist the Company with the accounting of convertible debentures and derivatives.
Our considerations of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as defined above. However, none of the reportable conditions described above is believed to be a material weakness.
Management concluded that the Company did maintain an effective level of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 appropriate for the financial reporting requirements of the Company.
This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. The disclosure contained under this Item 8A was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the disclosure under this Item 8A in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is in the process of improving the internal control condition described above. However, Mphase Technologies is a small company with a total staff of approximately 9 employees and consultants. This size limits and may continue to limit, the Companys ability to provide for adequate backup of financial personnel Accordingly, efforts individually and in the aggregate maybe insufficient to fully eliminate the condition that could adversely affect the organizations ability to record, summarize and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the financial statements.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

DR VICTOR LAWRENCE is bachelor Chair professor of Electrical Engineering and Associate Dean for Special Programs, in the Charles V Schafer, Jr. School of Engineering, at Steven Institute of Technology. Dr. Victor Lawrence is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and has worked in the information technology and communications field for over thirty years. He is an industry leader in digital communications R&D and services, an entrepreneur, an active member of engineering professional organizations, an author, and a teacher who has extensive international experience. Prior to joining Steven Institute of Technology Dr. Lawrence was Vice President, Advanced Communications Technology, Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies. He led the development of technologies that go into the most innovative, reliable, and cost-effective communications networks for the leading telecommunications service providers. He has supported Lucents businesses with a staff of about 500 leading technologists and a budget of about $100M. Major projects included gigabit, photonic, and wireless networking developments and services. He was responsible for a team of engineers that worked on performance analysis, simulations and development of broadband access and backbone networks for many national and international service providers. All of Lucents R&D organizations relied on his high-technology support of computer-aided hardware design, physical and thermal design, systems compliance testing and certification, and design for high performance network control, signaling, and management. Earlier, he was Director, Advanced Multimedia Communications at Bell Labs, where he was responsible for systems engineering, exploratory development of multimedia signal processing, transmission, and switching, including speech and audio coding, modems, broadband transmission, ATM switching and protocols, and wireless communication and signal processing. He held a variety of leadership positions in data communications research, digital techniques, and information systems. His application of digital signal processing to data communications in the late 1980s and early 1990s led to many significant advances in high-speed transmission over copper lines (e.g., voice band modems and DSL), which helped create a global industry that leverages the public switched telephone network. Dr. Lawrence played a significant role in the development of every major international voiceband modem standard, making high-speed data communication over international networks possible. The universal availability of high-speed data connectivity stimulated the growth and widespread use of the Internet. He led the development of high-speed modem/fax chip sets that are used in data terminals, computers, and voice terminals for secure communications worldwide. His work on high-speed transceivers for local loop and for premises applications led to the development of a variety of DSL technologies, many of which are deployed today for broadband services. Entrepreneurship Dr. Lawrence spun off several ventures internal and external to Lucent to maximize the impact of technology developed in his organization.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Material Related Party Transactions
The Company has material related party transactions. The Company incurs costs for engineering, design and production of prototypes and certain administrative functions from Microphase Corporation and the purchase of finished goods, primarily consisting of DSL splitter shelves and filters, from Janifast Limited. The Company has incurred costs for obtaining transmission rights. This enabled the Company to obtain re-transmission accreditation to proprietary television content that the Company plans to provide with its flagship product, the TV+ within its incorporated joint venture mPhase Television.Net, in which the Company owns a 56.5% interest.
Mr. Durando, the President and CEO of mPhase, owns a controlling interest and is a director and President of Janifast Limited. Mr. Durando and Mr. Dotoli are officers of Microphase Corporation. Mr. Dotoli was also a shareholder of Janifast Limited prior to its discontinuing operations in March of 2008.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of mPhase Technologies, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of mPhase Technologies, Inc. (a New Jersey corporation in the development stage) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years ended June 30, 2009 and for the period from inception (October 2, 1996) to June 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of mPhase Technologies, Inc. for the period from inception to June 30, 2001. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts for the period from inception to June 30, 2001, included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of mPhase Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009 and for the period from inception to June 30, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and is in a working capital deficit position that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of mPhase Technologies, Inc.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of mPhase Technologies, Inc. for the period from inception to June 30, 1998. Such amounts are included in the cumulative from inception to June 30, 2001 totals of the statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows and reflect total net loss of 6 percent of the related cumulative totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts for the period from inception to June 30, 1998, included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
mPhase, a New Jersey corporation founded in 1996, is a publicly-held company with over 19,000 shareholders and approximately 870 million shares of common stock outstanding. The Companys common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL.
The Company is in the development stage and historically has 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 Nanotechnology. Since mPhase is in the development stage, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as typical for normal operating periods.
The Company has recently shifted its primary business focus to the development of battery technology and using the science of nanotechnology 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 being disposed of after use without harm to the environment.
On April 17, 2007, the Company announced that it had formed AlwaysReady, Inc., a New Jersey Corporation, as a new wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company plans to transfer all of its nanotechnology assets and appropriate liabilities to such company so as to separate its nanotechnology product line from its IPTV product. Management and staff of AlwaysReady Inc have been hired, however, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 the Company funded all the operations of Always Ready, Inc and no assets or liabilities have been transferred.
On June 20, 2007, the Company announced the formation of a new subsidiary, Granita Media, Inc. (Granita), a Delaware corporation, to promote and develop its IPTV product line including targeted advertising, and middleware solution. Capitalization of Granita amounted to $514,000 of equity, provided by employees and independent investors. During FYE June 30, 2008, related assets and liabilities were transferred to Granita and its results consolidated into the these financial statements. Additional funding was to have been arranged from outside institutional financing and potentially involve the sale of up to 10% of the common stock of Granita with mPhase retaining 90% of the stock of Granita. Owing to very challenging conditions in the capital markets, Granita was unable to raise funds necessary to operate as a self sufficient enterprise and fund the additional software development necessary for a targeted advertising enhancement capability of its TV+ solution. In order to conserve financial resources, all employees of Granita were either terminated or had resigned by December 31, 2007. (see also footnote #6)
We are headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut with offices in Little Falls, and Newark NJ. mPhase shares common office space with Microphase Corporation, a privately held company in which the CEO of the company owns a minority interest. Microphase is a leader in the field of radio frequency and filtering technologies within the defense and telecommunications industry. It has been in operation for over 50 years and has supported mPhase with engineering, administrative and financial resources.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009
2. LOSSES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND MANAGEMENTS PLANS
Through June 30, 2009, the Company incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $188 million and at June 30, 2009 had a working capital deficit of $3,991,645. Funding in our tradition capital markets was difficult during FYE 2008.and 2009.
Alternatively the Company was able to enter into Convertible Debt arrangements with independent investors to provide liquidity and capital resources during the year. Such arrangements have provided the Company with cash in the amount of $1,350,000 and $1,800,000 during FYE 2008 and 2009 respectively. These arrangements will likely provide much of the working capital anticipated to be needed during the next FYE (See Footnote #8). In addition and from time to time during FYE 2008 and 2009, the Company raised necessary working capital via bridge loans from officers and private placements of equity. Such loans have subsequently been repaid (see notes payable to officers).
The Company is currently focused upon development and commercialization of its Always Ready battery product developed using the science of nanotechnology. The Company believes that such battery has a much longer shelf life than conventional batteries and will have significant commercial and military applications. To conserve financial resources, the Company has suspended development of its magnetometer sensor devices and all activities all activity related to its IPTV business. It is unsure whether any intellectual property related to those operations will have significant value.
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) 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 2010 and continue its development and commercialization efforts.
However, there can be no assurance that mPhase will generate sufficient revenues 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, its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
88
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R revised SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires companies to measure and recognize 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. Effective, July 1,2005, the Company adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method, and has recorded as an expense the fair value of all stock based grants to employees after such date The Company has not restated its operating results for any prior fiscal year end or quarter.
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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
As required, mPhase has adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidelines on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition based on the interpretations and practices of the SEC. The Company recognizes revenue on its research grant contract upon delivery of milestones defined in the contract, at the fixed predetermined price under the contract in which payment is reasonably expected as enumerated in SAB104.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and Development cost are charged to operations when incurred. The amounts charged to expense for the years ended 2007, 2008, 2009 and inception to date were, $6,393,215, $988,091, $1,255,665 and $60,216,673 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.
Amortization expense was, $36,439, $51,140 and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, the book value of such assets has been fully amortized.
INVENTORIES
The Company uses the First In First Out method (FIFO) to account for inventory which is carried at cost. As of June 30, 2007, inventory consisted primarily of component parts being assembled on location in anticipation of deployment of specific IPTV systems. Appropriate reserves have been taken to assure that the cost of such inventory does not exceed the value of the underlying contract. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company determined that the value of inventory related to IPTV had been impaired and charged to earnings all associated amounts ($505,910).
89
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which became effective for the Company July 1, 2002 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, June 30, 2006 thru June 30, 2009. The Company assesses long-term assets for impairment under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under SFAS No. 144, 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. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company wrote-down the value of its investment of a 10% interest in Soverign Corporation from $110,000 to $0.
REPARATION EXPENSE
As an incentive for additional equity contributions, the Company will from time to time, adjust the cost of past private purchases of common stock through the issuance of additional shares in such magnitude as to reduce an investors cost to an average price that more closely approximates current market value. The market value of additional shares issued without cash investment is charged to Reparation Expense, which is included in Other Expenses. Reparations expenses have amounted to, $1,874,020, $392,038, $432,172 and $8,167,734 for the years ended 2007, 2008, 2009 and inception to date, respectively.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED
mPhase accounts for net loss per common share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share (EPS). SFAS No. 128 requires the disclosure of the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Common equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS since their effect is anti-dilutive. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "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 had 141,081,646 warrants and 145,293,000 options outstanding at June 30, 2009 and convertible debentures convertible into approximately the Company's common stock based upon the conversion terms at June 30, 2009. The inclusion of the warrants and potential common shares to be issued in connection with convertible debt have anti-dilutive effect on diluted loss per share and have been omitted in such computation.
BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISK
To date the Companys products have been sold to a limited number of customers, primarily in the telecommunications and defense industry. The Company had revenue from two customers of 48% and 22% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. During the year ended the June 30, 2008 and 2009 all revenue is attributable to research contracts with the US Army
Throughout the year, cash may exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Cash balances exceeded FDIC insured limits at times throughout the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2009.
Debt Discounts
Costs incurred with parties who are providing the actual long-term financing, which generally may include the value of warrants, fair value of the derivative conversion feature, or the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion features associated with the underlying debt, are reflected as a debt discount. These costs and discounts are generally amortized over the life of the related debt.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and EITF Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" require all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The beneficial conversion features of the convertible debentures are embedded derivatives and are 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.
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 carryforwards. 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, 2009, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, 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, 2009 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.

6. GRANITA MEDIA
Effective July 1, 2007, the Company formed Granita Media, Inc. to separate its IPTV business and facilitate the raising of capital. Pursuant to an arrangement with 4 employees of mPhase, such employees were terminated from mPhase as of July 1, 2007 and became employees of Granita Media Inc and invested solely in the common stock of Granita Media Inc. Under the arrangement, each of the 4 employees were required to invest $125,000 in exchange for an aggregate 2% equity interest in Granitia Media, Inc with mPhase continuing to own 98% of the Company. The 4 employees contributed a total of $339,000 of the total $500,000 equity investment required from them and raised from third party investors another $175,000 for a total of $514,000 Granita Media has 19,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding of which 18,000,000 was owned by mPhase Technology and 1,000,000 is being held for issuance the 4 employees and the third party investors pending an agreement among such persons of the allocation of such shares.
Under the terms of the arrangement between mPhase and the 4 employees, such employees were authorized to sell up to 7.99% of additional equity in the Company for a total of not less than $2,000,000 of additional capital by December 31, 2007. As noted above, the employees raised a total of $175,000 of outside capital only and pursuant to the arrangement, such employees either resigned or were terminated by mPhase together with several lower level employees of Granita. A dispute has arisen between Granita Media and one of the former employees with respect to a sum of approximately $176,000 included in short term loans. It is the Companys position that such sums were voluntarily advanced to fund operating expenses after July 1, 2007. Since the 4 employee / officers of Granita Media were required to cover operating expenses of Granita Media after July 1, 2007 through equity investments either directly or from third parties, the Company has taken the position that such amount nor any related interest and fees are not owed to the employee. In addition, the Company has substantial rights of offset for unpaid rent with respect to the portion of its Little Falls office occupied by Granita Media after July 1, 2007. Granita Meida, Inc. ceased operations in December of 2007.

|
|
|
The issuance of a note payable from mPhase. |
|
|
|
|
|
The issuance of a note receivable due to mPhase |

|
|
A Securities Purchase Agreement |
|
|
|
|
|

At June 30, 2009 the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $96.5 million and $93.4 million to offset future federal and state income taxes respectively, which expire at various times from 2016 through 2029. The federal net operating loss carryforwards 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 carryforwards and has recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset.
The Company has a loss of $3,956,721 in 2008 and $15,529,677 in 2009. Deferred income taxes relate principally to the use of net operating loss carryforwards, 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.
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations differs from taxes that would result from applying Federal statutory rates because of the following:

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COMMITMENTS
The Company has a lease obligation for the rental of office space in Little Falls New Jersey until May 1, 2010. The annual obligation under such lease requires rent of $2,245 per month ($21,600 annually) for the year beginning June 1, 2009 and ending May 1, 2010.
mPhase has entered into various agreements with Georgia Tech Research ("GTRC") and its affiliate, Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation, ("GTARC"), pursuant to which the Company receives technical assistance in developing the commercialization of its Digital Video and Data Delivery System. The amount incurred by the Company for GTRC technical assistance with respect to its research and development activities during the years ended, 2007, 2008 and 2009 totaled $0, $0 and $0 respectively, and $13,539,952 from the period from inception through June 30, 2009.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective July 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. SFAS 157 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. SFAS 157 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. SFAS 157 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 a reconciliation for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009 and 2008:
Fair Value Measurements Using Significant | ||||
Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | ||||
Derivative Liability | ||||
June 30, 2009 | June 30, 2008 | |||
$ | 750,151 | $ | 0 | |
Balance at July 1, 2008 | ||||
Increase in Derivative Liability | 184,242 | 2,384,849 | ||
Debt discounts | 1,446,423 | (1,634,698) | ||
Balance at June 30, 2009 | $ | 2,380,816 | $ | 750,151 |
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.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On August 19, 2009, the Company received proceeds of $250,000 in connection with a third agreement with JMJ Financial. This transaction involves 1) a Convertible Debenture in the amount of $1,870,000, plus a one time interest factor of 12% ($224,400) and a maturity date of August 10, 2012 and 2) A Secured Note Receivable in the amount of $1,700,000 plus a one time interest factor of 13.2% ($224,400) and a maturity date of August 10, 2012 due from the same parties who are the holders of the Convertible Debenture. Conversion of outstanding into common shares is at the option of the holder. The number of shares into which this debenture can be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture divided by 75% of the lowest trade price during the 20 day trading period prior to conversion.
On September 30, 2009, the Company expects to receive a total of $150,000 of proceeds in connection with a fourth agreement with JMJ Financial. This transaction involves 1) A Convertible Debenture 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 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 same parties who are the holders of the Convertible Debentures. Conversion of outstanding into common shares is at the option of the holder. The number of shares into which this debenture can be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture divided by 75% of the lowest trade price during the 20 day trading period prior to conversion. The Company has received a commitment from JMJ Financial to enter into an identical financing not later than 60 days from September 23, 2009.
