PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

You should read this Prospectus Summary together with the more detailed information contained in this prospectus, including the risk factors and financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed in the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus.

From inception (October 2, 1996), through June 30, 2003 the Company had incurred development stage losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $108 million and a stockholders’ deficit of $3,228,886. Cumulatively, through June 30, 2003 the Company had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $46.6 million. The auditors report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 is qualified as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management estimates the Company needs to raise approximately $2,000,000 during the next 12 months to sustain its current level of operations.

mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (mPhase, the Company, we or us), a New Jersey corporation, founded in 1996 is a publicly-held company with approximately 11,000 shareholders and approximately 72 million shares of common stock outstanding. mPhase is a developer of broadband communications products, specifically, digital subscriber line (DSL) products for telecommunications service providers around the world. Since our inception in 1996 we have been a development-stage company.

The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL. We are headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut with offices in Little Falls, New Jersey and Atlanta, Georgia. mPhase shares common office space and common management with Microphase Corporation, a privately-held company. Microphase sells radio frequency and filtering technologies to the defense and telecommunications industry. Microphase has been in operation for almost 50 years and supports mPhase with engineering, administrative and financial resources, as needed.

Our primary activities have consisted of designing, manufacturing and testing our flagship products designed to deliver broadcast television over DSL. We have not, as yet, derived significant sales revenue from such products. Our products facilitate telephone companies becoming full service communications providers by enabling the simultaneous delivery of digital broadcast television, high speed data and voice services over the existing telephone line infrastructure. mPhase has developed its flagship line of products primarily for telephone companies in parts of the world where access to multi-channel television is limited.

mPhase introduced its first TV over DSL platform, the Traverser™ Digital Video and Data Delivery System (DVDDS) in 1998. The DVDDS, is a patented end-to-end system that enables a telecommunications service provider to deliver up to several hundred channels of motion picture experts group two (MPEG-2) standard broadcast digital television, high speed internet and plain old telephone service (POTS) over copper telephone lines between a central office facility of the provider and a customer’s premise. mPhase has not, as yet, derived any material revenues from sales of the DVDDS. The DVDDS is a proprietary technology developed in conjunction with Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) that allows for the delivery of any television channel to all users at any given time without a dilution in quality. The DVDDS consists of an Access Shelf located at a telephone service provider’s central office (CO) and an Intelligent Network Interface (INI)™ set top box located in a customer’s home. Because it is a proprietary end-to-end system, the DVDDS does not interoperate with other manufacturers’ DSL Central Office (CO) equipment or customer premises equipment (CPE) modems. The DVDDS utilizes Asymetric DSL (ADSL) that allows for significantly more downstream than upstream bandwidth for transmission and is well suited for delivery of broadcast television. The system is the only system on the market that utilizes non-Internet Protocol (IP) transmission over ADSL. The Company continues to market this product, and believes it to be best-suited for customers specifically interested in supporting television services with a minimal need to support high-speed data customers.

The DVDDS is installed at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, where a limited user system is currently operational. A DVDDS system is also installed at the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina for use as a telebroadcast system in a commercial setting.

The mPhase TV+ platform, recently developed in conjunction with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. (Lucent), is a new product also designed to allow for the simultaneous delivery of voice, high speed data, and broadcast TV over copper telephone lines between a telephone service provider’s CO and the customer premises. The TV+ formerly named ‘Simple TV’, is a modular solution for the delivery of several hundred broadcast television channels over ADSL that utilizes an industry-leading, standards-based Lucent Stinger™ DSL Access Concentrator for transport of digital television plus high speed internet and voice. The mPhase TV+ platform consists of a cost-reduced Traverser INI™ set top box located in a customer’s premises plus the Lucent Stinger located at the telephone company’s CO. A newly developed mPhase Broadcast Television Switch (“BTS”) interfaces with the Stinger and a video headend built by a telephone service provider to downlink broadcast television programming from satellites. The BTS formats the video data prior to distribution to a customer by the Stinger and supports administrative tasks associated with subscriber management. Using the Lucent Stinger (digital subscriber line access mutiplexer commonly known as a DSLAM) for transport in the TV+ platform results in a highly scalable architecture for the delivery of video. This scalability is accomplished by internally multicasting each television channel for delivery from the CO to a larger number of end users than would be otherwise possible over ADSL. We believe that the TV+ platform is the most cost-effective, standards-based solution for delivery of broadcast television using ADSL. The Stinger is one of a few DSLAM’s currently on the market with robust internal multicasting capabilities. For mPhase, the alliance with Lucent marks a change in strategy from selling a complete proprietary platform to providing an industry-standard modular solution.

Both the TV+ platform and the legacy DVDDS products are aimed for use in markets primarily outside of the United States that do not have a hybrid fiber coaxial cable (“HFC”) infrastructure necessary for cable TV or fiber to the curb necessary for very fast DSL (VDSL). We believe there is a significant cost advantage when our mPhase TV+ solution is compared against other platforms utilizing existing telephone lines containing the same features. The mPhase TV+ platform does not contain the features such as the delivery of two or more TV channels to a single set top box over copper telephone lines or video on demand and interactive TV features. As ADSL technology migrates forward to ADSL2 or ADSL2+, mPhase will include additional features to its TV+ platform in a modular scaleable cost-effective manner depending upon actual market demand for such features in markets that mPhase is targeting.

We believe the legacy DVDDS developed by GTRC, when combined with a version of the cost-reduced Traverser INI™ set top box redesigned by Lucent, continues to be a cost effective TV platform. The DVDDS can be sold in international markets where primary demand is for multi-channel digital broadcast television plus voice only and where there is little demand for high speed internet. We believe the mPhase TV+ platform is the optimal solution for both a telecommunications service provider where the ultimate customer requires all three services, i.e. high-speed internet, voice and digital broadcast television over ADSL.

For those television markets in the United States that are not served by HFC, we believe the availability of programming content is essential to facilitate potential sales of our TV platforms over ADSL. In March of 2000, we established mPhase Television net., Inc. (mPhase TV), a joint venture between mPhase and Alphastar International, Inc. mPhase TV can provide contracts, licensing agreements, marketing and legal support to service providers interested in deploying television over ADSL for U.S. markets. mPhase TV has secured licenses to resell programming for approximately 80 channels of U.S. broadcast television. mPhase TV enables telecommunications service providers in the U.S. to provide customers a full complement of television programming. This enables a U.S. telecommunications service provider to avoid the necessity of securing such contracting rights individually with many different providers of broadcast television content. It is important to note that the role of mPhase TV has changed since its inception. Originally, mPhase TV was to utilize a satellite uplink/downlink facility and serve as an aggregator of television content. This would eliminate the need for a telecommunications service provider, purchasing a TV delivery platform from mPhase, from having to build a full scale television reception facility (head-end) to downlink broadcast television channels from satellites orbiting the earth. However, recent advances in technology have significantly reduced the costs for a telephone company to build a full scale headend. Therefore, the role of mPhaseTV is now limited to providing the appropriate licenses and relationships as opposed to offering a content aggregation solution. As part of its cost reduction efforts, mPhase terminated its lease of Alphastar’s earth station satellite uplink and downlink facility in Oxford, CT. mPhase owns approximately 57% of mPhase TV.

mPhase DSL Component Products

mPhase also has designed and markets a line of DSL component products ranging from items such as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) splitters to innovative loop management products. From our inception in 1996 to date virtually all of mPhase’s revenue has been derived from sales of our component DSL products such as POTS splitters and low pass filters. Our newest innovation in our suite of DSL component products is our iPOTS or Intelligent POTS splitter product. This product enables telephone service providers comprehensive remote and automated test access to all elements of a DSL network. The iPOTS1, and iPOTS3 allow a telephone service provider to bypass POTS splitters on a DSL network and avoid having to manually intervene and disrupt line usage so a test signal can pass through a DSL network. This product marks an advancement in automating DSL loop management. As DSL deployments increase, it is becoming more important for telecommunications service providers to streamline the process for rolling-out and troubleshooting DSL services. Additionally, as competition for high speed Internet expands, the market is witnessing a reduction in the price for such service. Therefore, it has become imperative that telecommunications service providers lower the operational costs involved with supporting DSL services. Currently our iPOTS1 is designed for use with the Lucent Stinger, whereas, the iPOTS3 is compatible with DSLAM’s manufactured by other vendors. mPhase currently has a non-exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with Corning Cable Systems for the sale of the iPOTS products. Such arrangement potentially expands exposure for this product, as Corning is one of the largest vendors of central office DSL filtering equipment. The Company is also aggressively pursuing direct efforts with respect to sales of the iPOTS product.

For the year ending June 30, 2003 sales from our POTS Splitter Shelves were $1,581,639 with a Net Loss of $6,650,211 as compared to POTS Splitter Shelf sales of $2,582,446 and a Net Loss of $11,245,361 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Financial Aspects of Our Business

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.

We have had substantial operating losses since our inception in 1996 (including $6,649,011 and $11,361,372 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, respectively) and cannot be certain when or if we will ever be profitable.

As of June 30, 2003 we have a negative net worth of $3,228,886 and a negative working capital of $1,404,551.

We expect to continue to have net losses for the foreseeable future and have a need to raise not less than $2 million in additional cash in the next 12 months through further offerings to continue operations.

We have never been profitable from our inception in October, 1996 through June 30, 2003 and we have incurred (a) accumulated losses of $108,016,497 and a stockholder’s deficit of $3,228,826 and (b) cumulative negative cash flow of $43,615,416.

The report of the Company’s outside auditors’ Rosenberg, Rich, Baker, Berman & Company with respect to its latest audited 10K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 stated that “there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

We may be forced to raise additional cash for operations by selling additional shares of our common stock at depressed prices causing further dilution to our shareholders.

We may be unsuccessful in raising additional needed capital in the current capital markets because of the depressed price of our stock as a telecommunications equipment provider.

As of October 27, 2003, we have warrants and options outstanding convertible into approximately 31,775,735 shares and 14,876,000 shares of mPhase common stock which, upon conversion, may adversely affect the future price of our common stock.

As of October 27, 2003 we have warrants and options convertible into approximately 23,002,011 and 2,435,000 shares of our common stock at $.30 per share or less that, upon exercise, will result in significant dilution to many of our current shareholders and may adversely affect the future price of our common stock.

As of October 27, 2003, the Company has approximately 3,130,330 shares of common stock reserved for the issuance upon the conversion of certain 12% convertible notes to related parties at $.30 per share which may adversely affect the future price of our common stock.

Because the price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and is not traded on either 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 of established customers and Accredited Investors (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) thereby limiting its liquidity.

Risk Factors Related to Our Operations

We have had to date no material revenues derived from sales of our Traverser™ Digital Video Data Delivery System (DVDDS) or our mPhaseTV+ products or our new line of Intelligence POTS Splitters.

Sales from our POTS Splitter and other DSL products have experienced a significant decline as a result of the significant downturn in capital spending by telecommunications service providers during the past two years.

We depend upon GTRC for continued technical assistance in connection with deployment of the Traverser™ DVDDS platform and our business would be materially adversely affected if GTRC were to terminate our relationship.

 

7


Back to Contents

We depend upon Lucent for the successful development of our TV+ product and our business would be materially adversely affected if Lucent were to terminate our relationship.

We owe GTRC approximately $1.8 million and are attempting to finalize an agreement in principal to convert a portion of such payables into our common stock on terms to be agreed upon, however, no assurances can be given that such an agreement will be reached.

Management and employment contracts with all of our key executives 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.

Risk Factors Related to Our Targeted Markets

Our sales cycle for our TV over DSL platforms is lengthy (since it involves a major strategic decision by a telecommunications service provider) and we may incur significant marketing expenses with no guarantee of future sales.

We expect the majority of our future revenues to be derived from international emerging markets and our success depends upon our ability to sell our flagship television platforms outside of the United States where political, currency and regulatory risks are significantly greater.

A significant market for our Traverser™ DVDDS, mPhaseTV+ products may never develop if telephone service providers fail to successfully deploy broadband services including high speed data and television.

Telephone service providers worldwide have significantly decreased capital expenditures for broadband and other deployment as a result of the current economic downturn in the industry.

Certain telephone companies (especially in developing international economies) may have copper wire infrastructure that is not of sufficient quality to accommodate the Traverser™ or mPhaseTV+ platform.

Our Traverser™ DVDDS and mPhaseTV+ platforms may fail to meet foreign regulatory standards.

Our Customers may need to build a digital head-end to download television content from satellites involving a significant additional capital expenditure to utilize the digital Television capabilities of our Traverser™ DVDDS and TV+ products.

The Telecommunications equipment industry is subject to swift and continuing innovation and technological changes that could render our Traverser™ DVDDS and TV+ products obsolete.

Intense competition in the telecommunications equipment market could limit or prevent our profitability.

Our competitors that sell DSL systems that compete with the Traverser™ and mPhaseTV+ system include much larger and better known and capitalized companies with significantly greater selling and marketing experience and financial resources such as ADC, Alcatel S.A., Calix Catena Networks, Copper Mountain, Advanced Fiber Communications, ECT Telecommunications, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Marconi, Motorola, NEC, Nortel, Huawei Technologies, Net to Net Technology, Nokia, UTS Starcom, DVTEL, Inc., Turnstone, Paradyne Networks, Samsung, 2 Wire, Siemens, TuT Systems, and Optibase Wesell.

We also face competition from companies that provide infrastructure software products to deliver multi-channel digital television over telephone such as Imagic TV, Minerva Corporation and Myrio Corporation.

Telephone service providers that are our targeted customers face competition from cable-based technologies, fixed wireless technologies and satellite technologies that may cause them not to deploy our Traverser™ DVDDS or TV+ products.

Although the DVDDS product is patent-protected and not the subject of any infringement allegations, the telecommunications industry, in general, is characterized by a large number of patents and frequent patent litigation based upon claims of patent infringement when compared to other industries.

Future market demand that will cause telephone service providers to continue to aggressively roll out DSL, in general, and ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ in particular, is highly unpredictable especially in markets outside of the United States.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those results expressed in or implied by the statements contained herein.

OVERVIEW

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (mPhase, the Company, we or us), a New Jersey corporation, founded in 1996 is a publicly-held company with approximately 11,000 shareholders and approximately 72 million shares of common stock outstanding. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL.

mPhase is a developer of broadband communications products, specifically, digital subscriber line (DSL) products for telecommunications service providers around the world. Since our inception in 1996 we have been a development-stage company and operating activities have related primarily to research and development, establishing third-party manufacturing relationships and developing product brand recognition among telecommunications service providers.

We are headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut with offices in Little Falls, New Jersey and Atlanta, Georgia. mPhase shares common office space and common management with Microphase Corporation, a privately-held company. Microphase is a seller of radio frequency and filtering technologies to the defense industry. Microphase has been in operation for almost 50 years and supports mPhase with engineering, administrative and financial resources, as needed.

Description of Operations

mPhase develops, markets and sells an innovative line of broadband communications equipment for transmission of broadcast television, high speed data and voice over copper telephone lines utilizing DSL technology. We have developed two different platforms (the Traverser DVDDS™ (DVDDS) and the TV+ respectively) that enable telecommunications service providers to deliver, simultaneously, digital broadcast television, high-speed internet and voice between a service provider’s central office and its customers’ premises. In particular, our products are designed to enable telecommunications service providers to enter into the business of providing several hundred channels of digital broadcast television over the existing copper wire infrastructure. To date, our primary activities have consisted of designing, manufacturing, testing and marketing our flagship products that enable deliver broadcast television over DSL by telephone service providers. We have not, to date, derived material revenues from such products.

Both our DVDDS and the TV+ platforms require a telecommunications service provider to build a digital video head-end to downlink channels of broadcast television programming from satellites. The cost of building a digital head end has been substantially reduced in the past few years as off the shelf technology

has become less expensive. Such equipment includes a satellite receiving dish, video grooming equipment and mPhase’s system management software necessary for managing the video content. mPhase does not manufacture such digital head-end equipment.

Both the DVDDS and TV+ products utilize aysmetric DSL (more bandwidth downstream than upstream) which is well-suited for the delivery of broadcast television and high-speed internet.

mPhase has developed its flagship line of products for telephone companies in parts of the world where access to multi-channel television is limited. Our products are currently designed primarily for service providers located outside of the United States where fiber optic infrastructure does not exist. Our products enable service providers to support proven, revenue-generating services (i.e., broadcast TV) on the most cost effective basis possible. This is achieved by utilizing the existing copper wire infrastructure of a telephone service provider to transport broadcast television from a central office without fiber for the “last mile” to a customer’s premises. Our solution avoids the tremendous cost of upgrading such infrastructure to fiber to provide sufficient bandwidth in order to deliver broadcast television. Our products utilize “compression technology” in order to transport broadcast television along with voice and high-speed data to a customer.

We believe there is a significant cost advantage when our products are compared with other platforms utilizing ADSL for the delivery of broadcast television with the same features. Neither of our platforms currently contain such features as the ability to deliver two or more TV channels to a single set top box, video on demand and interactive TV. Our belief, is that such features cannot currently be delivered at a cost commensurate with a price people are capable and willing to pay in markets lacking fiber optic infrastructure necessary for cable TV. As ADSL technology migrates forward to ADS2 and ADSL2+, mPhase plans to include additional features in its new TV+ platform in a modular scalable cost-effective manner depending upon actual market demand.

mPhase introduced its first TV over DSL product, the DVDDS in 1998. The DVDDS, is a patented end-to-end system based upon proprietary technology developed in conjunction with Georgia Tech Research Corporation. Because it is an end-to-end video-over-ADSL system, the DVDDS does not interoperate with other manufacturer’s digital subscriber line access multiplexing equipment (DSLAM) located in a telephone service provider’s central office or modems or set top boxes residing in a customer’s premises. This system delivers native MPEG2 digital television from a satellite downlink or digital headend to the customer without reformatting such content into internet packets. The system is the only non-Internet Protocol system for delivery of broadcast television over ADSL on the market today. Telephone service providers using the mPhase legacy DVDDS need to build a digital video headend or programming and control center (“PCC”) to downlink broadcast television programming content from satellites. This includes installing a satellite receiving dish, off-the-shelf video equipment and mPhase’s software to manage the video content at the PCC. Local off-air channels are received, digitized and combined with the signals received via satellite at the PCC. The PCC can be co-located with a single actual office or remotely located and connected to each Central Office (“CO”) via fiber. The DVDDS CO equipment, known as the mPhase Universal Access Shelf, integrate video signals from the PCC with Internet and voice signals. The output of the Universal Access Shelf consists of DSL “lines” capable of carrying a single digital broadcast channel, high-speed data and POTS (“Plain Old Telephone Service”) to subscribers over existing telephone lines. Upon reaching the home or office, the DSL line is fed into the mPhase intelligent network interface INI, or digital set top box. The INI separates the three signals and routes them to the television, PC and telephone. The Company continues to market this product, and believes it is best suited for customers specifically interested in supporting television services with a minimal need to support high-speed data customers.

The DVDDS consists of three key elements: a digital head-end called the Programming and Control Center (PCC), Central Office (CO) equipment called the Universal Access Shelf or DSLAM, and the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE called the Intelligent Network Interface (INI™). At the PCC, local off-air channels are received, digitized and combined with broadcast television signals down-linked from satellites. The PCC can be co-located with a single central office (CO) of a service provider or remotely located and connected to each CO of a telephone service provider by fiber not currently in use.

The DVDDS CO equipment, known as the mPhase Universal Access Shelf, integrates video signals from the PCC with the internet and voice signals. The output of the Universal Access Shelf consists of DSL “lines” capable of carrying a single stream of native MPEG- 2 digital quality broadcast television, high-speed data and voice. Upon reaching a residence or business, the DSL line is fed into the Traverser™ intelligent network interface (INI) digital set top box which separates and routes the television, high-speed data and voice signals to the television, home computer and telephone respectively.

The digital compression technology used by the DVDDS transports digital television signals in native motion pictures experts group 2 (MPEG2) format over the DSL spectrum. At no point does the DVDDS packetize the video content or deliver it over an internet protocol (IP) or asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. Up until recent developments by Lucent Technologies, Inc. for its Stinger DSLAM, which is used as the method for transport in our TV+ platform, the DVDDS technology had certain quality of service advantages over IP based Video transmission methods over ADSL.

The DVDDS is installed at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, where a limited user system is currently operational. Hart Telephone competed the construction of its digital head end toward the end of 2001, marking the DVDDS’s transition to commercial deployment. A DVDDS system is also installed at the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina for use as a telebroadcast system in a commercial setting.

mPhase has recently introduced its second product for deliver of broadcast television, high speed data and voice over ADSL originally named Simple TV and now called the TV+ platform. This product has been developed in conjunction with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. TV+ is a modular solution that is also designed to simultaneously deliver digital broadcast television, high speed data plus voice over copper telephone wires. The TV+ utilizes the industry-leading, standards-based Lucent Stinger Digital Access Concentrator (the Stinger™) for transport.

The TV+ platform requires a telephone service provider to built a digital head-end to down-link channels to television programming from satellites. Unlike the headend utilized with the Traverser™ DVDDS, the signals are converted at the head-end from native MPEG- 2 into IP format. The architecture developed by Bell Labs for the mPhase TV+ product encompasses:

 
The mPhase Traverser™ BTS (Broadcast Television Switch) layer interfacing the video headend and the DSLAM. The BTS supports administrative tasks associated with subscriber management by communicating with each Traverser™ INI set top box to enable access by users to programming selected by such user as well as compiling customer billing information for a service provider.
     
 
Lucent’s Stinger Digital Access Concentrator, a field-tested central office (CO) piece of equipment containing the new Lucent IP 2000 card that provides DSL connections to individual customers and the greater bandwidth necessary to support internal multicasting of hundreds of channels of video traffic. This capability results in a highly scaleable and cost effective video delivery architecture based upon a leading standards based IP delivery technology.
     
 
mPhases Traverser™ INI Set Top Box, a highly integrated piece of customer premises equipment (CPE) to deliver digital television in the home environment from the DSL link.

During the first half of fiscal year 2003, mPhase began discussions with the Bell Labs division of Lucent to redesign, feature enhance and cost reduce its Traverser™ INI (intelligent network interface) set top box CPE portion of the DVDDS. In December of 2002 Bell Labs approached mPhase about creating the hybrid, mPhaseTV+ solution over DSL that would add broadcast television capabilities to the Lucent Stinger DSLAM and capitalize upon the fact that such DSLAM is deployed to over 4 million customers worldwide for voice and data delivery over copper telephone lines. The goal is to create the most reliable scaleable and cost-effective method for delivery of broadcast quality television and high-speed data over copper telephone lines.

The initial design of the mPhaseTV+ solution does not contain features that would currently require expensive upgrades to a telephone service provider’s infrastructure such as the delivery of more than one different television channel through one set-top box to a customer, video on demand and interactive television which is currently available on many cable systems throughout the United States. Our goal is to achieve wide acceptance of our television platforms indeveloping markets outside of the United States for multi-channel broadcast television at significant gross margins by creating an extremely cost-effective product. We believe such markets do not demand, or can afford, feature-rich and expensive solutions available with alternate technologies such as cable, VDSL and much more expensive platforms for ADSL. As ADSL technology migrates forward to ASDL2 or ASDL2+, mPhase will include some or all of these features in its TV+ platform in a modular scalable cost-effective manner depending upon actual market demand for such features in markets that mPhase is targeting.

As noted above, Bell Labs had been working in a contract engineering capacity helping mPhase to cost-reduce its digital set top box, the Traverser™ INI Set Top Box (INI). mPhase’s original set top box designed by GTRC to be used as the CPE portion of the Traverser™ has recently been reduced in size and costs by Lucent. This product is a low-cost set-top box developed specifically for delivering Motion Picture Experts Group two (MPEG2) standard video bitstreams over DSL links. The integrated DSL modem makes the connection between the set-top box and the DSLAM. The INI’s video output sends television signals directly to the end-user’s TV. Such integration of the set-top-box with the DSL modem provides greater video content security by having the video content decoded directly by the set top box into the television signal. Thus

digital television cannot be downloaded and saved directly from a DSL modem. While no system is completely impenetrable to video theft, the INI solution thwarts and discourages such activity. mPhase’s cost reduced INI designed by Lucent utilizes standard Asynchronous Transfer Mode over ADSL transport.

mPhase DSL Component Products. mPhase also has designed and markets a line of DSL component products ranging from commodity items such as POTS splitters to innovative loop management products. Most notable in the suite of DSL component products is the recently introduced iPOTS or Intelligent POTS Splitter product. The iPOTS1 product is designed to work in conjunction the Lucent Stinger DSLAM. A newly developed version of the product called the iPOTS3 ids compatible with the Lucent Stinger as well as DSLAM’s manufactured by other vendors. This product marks a significant advancement in automating loop management. As DSL deployments scale, it is becoming increasingly more important for telecommunications service providers to streamline the process for provisioning and troubleshooting DSL services. Additionally, as competition for high speed Internet expands, the market is witnessing a reduction in price. Therefore, it has become imperative that telecommunications service providers lower the operational costs involved with supporting DSL services. The iPOTS is a device that allows service providers to perform full loop testing without having to deploy manual assets by allowing service providers to temporarily bypass the POTS Splitter and have a comprehensive view of their DSL networks. Prior to the introduction of this product in order to perform full testing, service providers would have to manually intervene so that so that test signals could be passed through the network. mPhase has established a worldwide non-exclusive distribution agreement with Corning Cable Systems for the sale of iPOTS product. Utilizing Corning as a distribution channel expands exposure for this product, as Corning is one of the largest vendors of central office DSL filtering equipment. mPhase also continues to market the product directly to major telephone service providers.

Revenues. To date, all material revenues have been generated from sales of the POTS Splitter Shelves and other DSL component products to a small number of telecommunications companies. mPhase believes that future revenues are difficult to predict because of the length and variability of the commercial roll-out of the Traverser™ and mPhase TV+ products to various telecommunications service providers. Since the Company believes that there may be a significant international market for the Traverser™ and the mPhaseTV+ products involving many different countries, with different regulations, certifications and commercial practices than the United States, future revenues are highly subject to the changing variables and uncertainties. Additionally, the recent instability of the telecommunications market evidenced by reduction in capital spending across the whole in the telecom sector contributes to our difficulty in accurately predicting future revenues.

Cost of revenues. The costs necessary to generate revenues from the sale of POTS Splitter Shelves and other related DSL component products include direct material, labor and manufacturing. mPhase paid these costs to Janifast Ltd., which has facilities in the People’s Republic of China and is owned by and managed by certain senior executives of the Company. The cost of revenues also includes certain royalties paid to Microphase Corporation, a privately held corporation organized in 1955, which shares certain common management with the Company and is majority-owned by a director of mPhase. Costs for future production of the Traverser™ and Simple TV Platform products will consist primarily of payments to manufacturers to acquire the necessary components and assemble the products and, in the case of the Traverser™, future patent royalties payable to Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC).

Research and development. Research and development expenses consist principally of the payments made to GTRC, Microphase and Lucent, respectively, for development of the Traverser™ DVDDS, the iPOTS and the TV+ products respectively. The TV+ solution consists of the newly developed mPhase Broadcast Television Switch together with the Lucent Stinger voice and data delivery system product. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

General and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in direct marketing of the Traverser™ the Simple TV Platform, the POTS Splitter Shelves, the iPOTS and other DSL component products, as well as support functions including executive, legal and accounting personnel. Certain administrative activities are outsourced on a monthly fee basis to Microphase and mPhase leases its principal office in Norwalk, Connecticut from Microphase.

Non-Cash compensation charge. The Company makes extensive use of stock options and warrants as a form of compensation to employees, directors and outside consultants. We incurred non-cash compensation charges totaling $48,114,097 from inception (October 2, 1996) through June 30, 2003, of which $2,045,669 was included in research and development expenses; $20,996,614 was included in general and administrative expenses and $25,093,735 pertains to stock-based compensation of employees.

Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2003 vs. June 30, 2002
 
     Revenue

Total revenues were $1,581,639 for the year ended June 30, 2003 compared to $2,582,446 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was attributable to the continued slowing sales during fiscal year 2003 of the Company’s POTS Splitter product line, caused by the general downturn in the telecommunications market, including customers that order component products from the Company. The Company continues to believe that its line of POTS Splitter products is positioned to be competitively priced with high reliability and connectivity, and as such has the potential to be a significant part of DSL deployment worldwide. The Company cannot say when the demand for telecommunication equipment will resume.

     Cost of Revenues

Cost of sales was $1,493,394 for the fiscal year ended June, 2003 as compared to $2,415,219 in the prior period, representing 94% of gross revenues, for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The margins have contracted dramatically in the past two fiscal years as spending among the telecommunications providers has contracted, coupled with downward pressures related to the supply and demand of telecommunications products.

     Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $3,538,305 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $3,819,583 during the comparable period in 2002; or a decrease of $281,278.

Such expenditures include $100,000 incurred with GTRC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $450,000 during the comparable period in 2002. In addition, the Company incurred research and development expenses for depreciation of test equipment located at Hart Telephone Company and at mPhase of $839,735 and $845,783 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Other portions of research and development expenses include (a) a decrease of research and development expenses incurred with Microphase by $322,640 to $428,434 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 from $751,074 for the comparable period ended June 30,2002, (b) non cash compensation of $385,495 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to $267,338 for the same period ending June 30, 2002 and (c) miscellaneous expenses of $143,024 and $298,227 for the periods ended June 30, 2003 and June 30,2002 respectively.

The Company incurred increased charges with Lucent Technologies, Inc. in the current year, totaling $1,112,500 incurred on development of the Broadcast Television Switch for use with Lucent’s Stinger DSL product, $437,500 incurred for the cost reduction effort for mPhase’s set top box. In addition, $75,000 was incurred for software development associated with mPhase’s iPOTS3 product, as compared with $156,250 incurred in the year ended June 30, 2002.

The elements contributing to the decrease in other research and development expenses included a decrease in the operations of the Company’s joint venture, mPhase Television.net. The major costs incurred by the joint venture were payroll expenses attributable to research and development of the Company’s transmission capabilities and acquisition of television content. Costs incurred by the joint venture during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 were $232,334 as compared to $62,352 for the period ended June 30, 2003. Additionally, this decrease can be attributed to the Company abandoning certain research projects on DSL components the Company believed were no longer commercially viable, this approximated $12,960 in fiscal 2003 compared to $440,295 in fiscal 2002.

The decrease in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the Company’s shift of capital expenditures from the Traverser™ DVDDS to the TV+ product. The Company’s project with Lucent provides for cost reduction of the INI set top box and other product enhancements as well as development of a Broadcast Television Switch for use with Lucent’s Stinger product. To date expenses incurred with respect to the TV+ platform and development of the new cost reduced InI are $593,750, and $437,500 respectively for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.

Research expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing development of the Company’s DSL component products, including the Company’s line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Company’s newest products, the iPOTS™ and the mPhase Stretch. We believe the mPhase iPOTS™ offers a much needed solution for the DSL industry; the iPOTS™ enables telecommunications service providers to remotely and cost-effectively perform loop management and maintenance including line testing, qualification and troubleshooting. Prior to the introduction of the iPOTS™, loop management could not be remotely performed through a conventional POTS Splitter without the use of expensive cross connects or relay banks because of the mandatory DC blocking capacitors in traditional POTS splitters, as required by various telephone protocol and regulatory standards. The unique (patent pending) iPOTS™ circuit allows most test heads to perform both narrow and wideband testing of the local loop through the central office POTS Splitter without having to physically disconnect the POTS Splitter, thereby eliminating the need to dispatch personnel and a truckroll. The Company anticipates future demand for this product, as it significantly reduces the cost of deploying and maintaining DSL services. Also recently developed is the DSL loop extender product called mPhaseStretch. This product extends the service distance for the mPhase Traverser™ and can be used in conjunction with other DSL services. The Company believes there will be future demand for the Stretch loop extender product as it addresses a primary issue in DSL services.

     General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,654,971 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2003, down from $6,490,373 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2002 or a decrease of $3,835,402. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative costs included a decrease of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and options to consultants, which totaled $748,840 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $2,445,561 during the comparable period in 2002, or decrease of $1,696,721 of such charges. Other elements contributing to the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses included a decrease as a result of the reduction in workforce and the reduction in marketing expenses which the Company began in fiscal 2002 in response to the current contraction in the telecommunications equipment market. Other components of the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses were decreases in payroll and related costs by approximately $375,000, marketing expenses such as trade shows by approximately $250,000, executive compensation and related expenses by approximately $400,000 and various decreases in other administrative categories aggregating approximating $1.1 million, all of which approximated reductions of components of these expenses other than non-cash charges of $2,125,000.

     Net Loss

The Company recorded a net loss of $6,650,211 for the period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to a loss of $11,245,361 for the period ended June 30, 2002. This represents a loss per common share of $.10 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to a loss per common share of $.23 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 65,217,008 and 49,617,780 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Current Plan of Operations
 
     Research and Development Activities

mPhase throughout its history has outsourced its research and development activity with respect to both of its TV platforms as well as its POTS splitter products. GTARC has conducted a significant amount of research and development for mPhase pursuant to a research agreement comprised of a series of delivery orders, which outline the timing, necessary actions and form of payment for specific tasks related to the completion of certain components of the DVDDS legacy product. Microphase has performed research and development for mPhase with respect to certain component DSL products such as the iPOTS products, low pass filters and POTS Splitters and the legacy DVDDS product. Most recently, mPhase has engaged Lucent to cost-reduce its INI set top box and develop its new TV+ product.

For the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and for the period since inception (October 2, 1996) to June 30, 2003, approximately $100,000, $450,000, $3,813,683 and $13,524,300, respectively, has been billed to mPhase for research and development conducted by GTARC. With the completion of the DVDDS legacy product, the Company has shifted its research and development from GATRC to Lucent Technologies Inc. Such new research and development was (a) initially for cost reduction of its INI set top box (b) development by Lucent of the new TV+ product (consisting of a newly designed television broadcast switch compatible with the Lucent Stinger data delivery system as well as equipment of other major vendors) . The Company incurred research and development expenses with Lucent for fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 of $1,112,500 and $156,250, respectively.

In November of 2002, the Company and GTRC and GTARC entered into a Memorandum of Intention to convert approximately $1.8 million in remaining payables outstanding to GTRC and exchange mutual releases in consideration for two term Notes totaling $624,235 with varied payments through 2007 and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through 2007, at a price and formula to be agreed upon. Such Memorandum of Intention is subject to a final written agreement between mPhase and GTRC requiring approval of each company’s board of directors. Under the terms of its license from GTRC mPhase is the sole, worldwide licensee of the technology developed by GTARC in conjunction with the legacy DVDDS product line. Upon completion of the legacy DVDDS product, GTRC may receive a royalty of up to 5% of product sales.

The amount of research and development costs the Company has expended from October 2, 1996, its inception date, through June 30, 2003 is $34,347,079. During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $3,538,305 related to the continued development of its current TV platforms and other DSL products and services as compared to $3,819,583 for the same period ended June 30,2002.

     Strategic Alliances Implemented

mPhase Technologies, Inc. has signed a worldwide distribution agreement with Corning Cable Systems, an industry-leading manufacturer of fiber optic and copper communications network solutions and pioneer of DSL POTS splitter applications. This agreement enables Corning Cable Systems to resell mPhase’s line of “intelligent” DSL component products including the recently released iPOTS3, as well as its other “intelligent” products. This relationship expands mPhase’s distribution network extensively via Corning Cable Systems’ worldwide sales force. Based on this agreement, mPhase will act as the original equipment manufacturer for Corning Cable Systems, jointly manufacturing the iPOTS product set, as well as providing sales support and continuing product design and development work. mPhase. mPhase continues to aggressively directly market these product since the current agreement with Corning is non-exclusive in scope.

In addition, the Company has entered into a Co-Branding Agreement with Lucent for its redesigned cost reduced Traverser INI set top box. In addition, pursuant to a Systems Integration Agreement with Lucent, the Company has been designated as the exclusive worldwide reseller of the Lucent Stinger when bundled as part of the mPhase TV+ product.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
     Revenue Recognition

All revenue included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented relates to sales of mPhase’s POTS Splitter Shelves and DSL component products.

As required, mPhase has adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, which provides guidelines on applying generally accepted accounting principals to revenue recognition based upon the interpretations and practices of the SEC. The Company recognizes revenue for its POTS Splitter Shelf and other DSL component products at the time of shipment, at which time, no other significant obligations of the Company exist, other than normal warranty support.

The deferred revenues balance recorded on the Balance Sheet for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 is made up of three customer deposits consisting of $156,180 in the aggregate for the POTS product and of $58,000 for final customer acceptance of the Traverser™ product which will occur upon commercial production of such product.

     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.”

     Income Taxes

mPhase accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No.109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Because of the uncertainty as to their future realizability, net deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards, have been fully reserved for. Accordingly, no income tax benefit for the net operating loss has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Utilization of net operating losses generated through June 30, 2003 may be limited due to “changes in control” of our common stock that occurred.

     Stock-based Compensation

The Company follows the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation at fair value. As permitted, the Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation to employees using the intrinsic value method presented in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair valued-based method, as defined, had been applied. Compensation expense is generally measured on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.

The Company accounts for non-employee stock based awards in which goods or services are the consideration received for the equity instruments issued based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more readily determinable.

     Inventory Reserve and Valuation Allowance

The Company carries its inventory at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventory consists mainly of the Company’s POTS Splitter Shelf and Filters. In determining the lower of cost or market, the Company periodically reviews and estimates a valuation allowance to reserve for technical obsolescence and marketability. The allowance represents management’s assessment and reserve for the technical obsolescence based upon the inter-operability of its component products, primarily filters and

splitters, with presently deployed and next generation DSL infrastructures as well as a reserve for marketability based upon current prices and the overall demand for the individual inventory items. Material changes in either the technical standards of future DSL deployments or further erosion in the demand for deployments of DSL infrastructures could affect the estimates and assumptions resulting in the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     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. 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.

The Company has also incurred charges for beta testing and on-site marketing, including the display of a live working model at Hart Telephone. In addition, the Company has entered into a supply agreement with Hart Telephone, which is scheduled to commence upon the commercial production of the Traverser™. In addition the Company has tested its TV+ platform in July of 2003 with 3 customers of Hart Telephone. A member of mPhase’s Board of Directors is employed by Lintel, Inc., the parent corporation of Hart Telephone.

Mr. Durando, the President and CEO of mPhase, owns a controlling interest and is a director and CEO of Janifast Limited. Mr. Durando and Mr. Dotoli are officers of Microphase Corporation. Mr. Dotoli is also a shareholder of Janifast Limited. Mr. Ergul, the chairman of the board of mPhase, owns a controlling interest and is a director of Microphase Corporation and is a director and shareholder of Janifast Limited. Microphase, Janifast, Hart Telephone and Lintel Corporation are significant shareholders of mPhase. Microphase, Janifast and Hart Telephone have converted significant liabilities to equity in fiscal years June 30, 2001, 2002 and in the current fiscal year. Management believes the amounts charged to the Company by Microphase, Janifast, mPhase Television.Net and Hart Telephone are commensurate to amounts that would be incurred if outside parties were used. The Company believes Microphase, Janifast and Hart Telephone have the ability to fulfill their obligations to the Company without further support from the Company.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception (October 2, 1996) through June 30, 2003 the Company has incurred cumulative (a) development stage losses and has an accumulated deficit of $108,016,497 and (b) negative cash flow from operations of $43,615,413. The auditors report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 includes the statement that “there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern”. Management estimates that the Company needs to raise approximately $2,000,000 during the next 12 months to continue operations. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had a negative net worth of $3,228,886 up from a negative net worth of $42,849 as a result of continuing net losses incurred after June 30, 2002.

At June 30, 2003 mPhase had working capital deficit of $1,405,331 as compared to working capital of $399,321 at June 30, 2002. Through June 30, 2003, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling $108,016,497. At June 30, 2003, the Company had $396,860 of cash and cash equivalents and $287,135 of net accounts receivables to fund short-term working capital requirements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) continue the wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its products.

Historically, mPhase has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily through private placements of common stock. Management expects that its ongoing financial needs will be provided by financing activities and believes that the sales of its line of POTS Splitter products and other related DSL component products will provide some offset to cash flow used in operations, although there can be no assurance as to the level and growth rate of such sales in future periods as seen with quarter to quarter

fluctuations in component sales. At June 30, 2003, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $396,860 compared to $47,065 at June 30, 2002, net accounts receivable of $287,135 and net inventory of $2,103,328. This compared to $273,780 of net accounts receivable and $3,342,716 of net inventory at June 30, 2002.

Cash used in operating activities was $1,212,718 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The cash used by operating activities principally consists of the net loss, the net decrease in inventory, the net decrease in accounts receivable offset by the increase in depreciation and amortization, and by non-cash charges for common stock options and warrants issued for services and increased accrued expenses.

The Company has entered into various agreements with GTARC, pursuant to which the Company receives technical assistance in developing the Digital Video and Data Delivery System. The Company has incurred expenses in connection with technical assistance from GTARC totaling approximately $100,000 and $450,000, for the twelve month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $13,524,300 from the period from inception through June 30, 2003. The Company and GTRC entered into a Memorandum of Intent, on October 14, 2002 and revised on November 12, 2002, which would result in the settlement of all amounts outstanding and the exchange of mutual releases in consideration for two term Notes totaling approximately $624,000 and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock . The Company and GTARC are continuing negotiation of a final agreement with respect to the conversion of not less than approximately $1.2 million of the approximately $1.8 million of payables owed by mPhase. mPhase is the sole, worldwide licensee of the technology developed by GTARC in conjunction with the Traverser™ DVDDS product line. Upon completion of the commercial product, GTRC may receive a royalty of up to 5% of product sales.

During the twelve months ending June 30, 2003, certain strategic vendors and related parties converted approximately $1.9 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses into 5,923,333 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 3,706,800 shares of common stock of mPhase.

As of June 30, 2003, mPhase is obligated to pay Lucent Technologies, Inc., the sum of $100,000 per month through November of 2003 for development of mPhase’s new Broadcast Television Switch that will enable the Lucent Stinger Digital Subscriber Line Technology to deliver television as well as data and voice over copper telephone lines. mPhase has no other material commitments for capital expenditures.

We have evaluated our cash requirements for the fiscal year 2004 based upon certain assumptions, including our ability to raise additional financing and increased sales of our POTS splitter. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise approximately $2,000,000 primarily in private placements of its common stock with accredited investors, during the next 12 months, or alternatively we will need to curtail certain expenses as incurred at the present levels including marketing and research and development expenses. Such expenditures are part of the additional investment in technology design to complete our TV+ platform will be necessary over the next 12 months. In the long-term, the Company may invest additional funds annually on research and development of it television platform in Intelligent POTS Splitter product lines based upon sales levels, changes to technology and the overall success of the Company attaining sufficient financing until such time as it achieves profitable operations.

Should these cash flows not be available to us, we believe we would have the ability to revise our operating plan and make certain further reductions in expenses, so that our resources which were available at June 30, 2003, plus financing to be secured during fiscal year 2004, and expected POTS splitter revenues, will be sufficient to meet our obligations until the end of fiscal year 2004. We have continued to experience operating losses and negative cash flows. To date, we have funded our operations with a combination of component sales, debt conversions with related parties and strategic vendors, and private equity offerings. Management believes that we will be able to secure the necessary financing in the short-term to fund our operations into our next fiscal year. However, failure to raise additional funds, or generate significant cash flows through revenues, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.

From July 1, 2003 through August 21, 2003 mPhase delivered on purchase orders and recorded revenue of approximately $1.6 million of POTS Splitters which has improved the Company’s working capital position. As of August 30, 2003 the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $1.2 million as compared with approximately $1.4 million on June 30, 2002. The Company believes that its liquidity position will slowly improve as a result of the upward trend in sales of POTS splitters experienced to date in fiscal year 2004 and the anticipated initial sales of one or both of its TV platforms in fiscal year 2004.

BUSINESS
Overview

We develop, market and sell innovative DSL broadband telecommunications equipment. Our main focus is developing the most cost effective products to enable telecommunications service providers to deliver digital quality television (together with data and voice) over ordinary copper telephone lines. The primary markets for mPhase’s television delivery products are regions of the world outside of the United State that do not have coaxial fiber infrastructure capable of delivering a large number of digital broadcast television channels. mPhase is not seeking, at this point in time, to develop robust feature-intensive expensive television platforms to compete with cable in the United States currently both of our TV over DSL solutions support a single television stream over a telephone wire. Therefore our television products are targeted primarily for International markets outside of the United States.

Outsourcing

The Company practices an outsourcing model whereby it contracts with third party vendors to perform certain functions rather than performing those functions internally. For instance, mPhase out sources digital engineering development for the Traverser™ DVDDS System to GTARC. It also out sources analog engineering development and certain administrative functions to Microphase Corporation and manufacturing of its POTS Splitter product to Janifast Ltd.

mPhase has outsourced to Lucent Technologies, Inc. cost reduction of its Traverser™ INI set top box and development of its new TV+ platform. With respect to manufacturing of its TV+ Platform, mPhase is targeting leading contract manufacturing companies with strategically located facilities globally with which it can establish long-term relationships. By using contract manufacturers, mPhase will attempt to avoid the substantial capital investments required for internal production.

The Company has entered into a number of significant agreements with Lucent Technologies, Inc which include a Co-Branding Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2003, allowing the Company to add the Lucent name and Logo to its cost-reduced Traverser™ INI set top box. Such agreement is for an initial period of one year and is subject to renewal on an annual basis by mutual consent. In addition, the Company has entered into a Systems Integrator Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2003 designating the Company as a reseller of the Lucent Stinger DSL transport product when bundled as part of the mPhase TV+ platform globally. Such agreement gives mPhase the exclusive right to sell the TV+ product worldwide containing the Lucent Stinger as the DSL transport mechanism for delivering broadcast television, high speed data and voice over copper telephone wires. In order to qualify for such status, as an accredited reseller, Lucent Technologies, Inc. determined that the Company’s TV+ platform added significant software and hardware value to the Stinger DSL product by enabling such product to deliver broadcast television over ADSL in addition to the Stinger’s well known existing world-class capabilities for the delivery of voice and high-speed data over copper telephone lines. Such agreement is for an initial two year term provided that either party may cancel such agreement with 60 days notice to the other party.

As a number of the Lucent Business Partner organization, mPhase is able to leverage established relationships with an existing Stinger customer base without having to expand its sales force. To date there are approximately 4 million ports of the Stinger deployed around the world. MPhase and the Lucent Global Business Partners group are also targeting other Business partners in markets where there currently is a lack of cable television infrastructure.

The Company has recently entered into a new Development Agreement, dated as of September 15, 2003, with Lucent that provides for continuing development and enhancement of capabilities of its TV+ product at a cost of $1,190,000.

mPhase also develops and designs component DSL products including Plain Old Telephone Service Splitters (POTS Splitters) and low pass filters. Since its inception in 1996, virtually all of mPhase’s sales revenue has been derived from the sales of POTS Splitters and other DSL component products. Recently mPhase introduced its intelligent line of POTS Splitter products. The iPOTS is a device which allows

telecommunications service providers to perform DSL loop qualification from a central office without having to deploy workers to the field. mPhase has established a worldwide non-exclusive distribution agreement with Corning Cable for the iPOTS product and continues to market such product directly.

Industry Background

The Company believes there is a significant market for its television over DSL products, in particular, for its latest TV+ Platform. Telephone companies worldwide need to deliver a combination of services (i.e., voice, television and data) in order to reverse negative economic trends of reduced margins and customers. The multichannel television business is a growing industry. Much of the world is largely underserved, with little access to digital television programming. Cable, outside the US and pockets of Europe, is in the early stages of deployment. In fact, according to Kagan World Media, the percent of television-owning households subscribing to multi-channel television services outside of North America in 2002 was only 36%. Both the Traverser™ DVDDS and mPhaseTV+ platforms empower telecommunications service providers to (a) capitalize upon this growing revenue-generating segment and (b) be able to compete more effectively with other technologies, such as cable where installed, and direct broadcast satellite (DBS) services.

We believe the incentive for telephone companies to deploy advanced digital services is significant. The traditional revenue model for telecommunications service providers is shifting as fixed line calling revenues are continuing to decline with the advent of as wireless telephony and voice delivered over the Internet. Traditional telephone companies can no longer rely on a captured market and need to offer new, revenue-generating services in order to maintain or increase profitability and by offering new services to their customers.

Cable television providers are also beginning to offer cable telephony and cable modems for high-speed Internet service, in addition to their traditional multichannel television services. Additionally, in the U.S., direct broadcast satellites providers (DBS) are upgrading to two-way satellite communication to provide data services. In more advanced markets, these technologies have converged, leaving telephone, cable and direct satellite television providers competing for the same customers and the same dollars.

mPhase’s flagship products enable telephone companies and other communications service providers utilizing twisted pair telephone wires to respond to these competitive threats and immediately offer fully integrated broadband service packages to their subscribers. Importantly, with mPhase’s products, telecommunications service providers are able to compete with cable and satellite providers in the high-margin multichannel digital television market. Neither of mPhase’s product solutions require a capital-intensive fiber nor cable build- out, long lead times, or a technically challenging deployment. Instead, utilizing their already installed copper telephone line infrastructure, telephone companies can increase their per subscriber revenue, capture additional marketshare, stave off competition and ultimately increase their overall market valuation by becoming full-service communications providers today.

Incumbent telecommunications service providers will have an opportunity to preempt wide digital cable or satellite adoption that deploy mPhase’s systems DSL and become market leaders in providing data and video services. Most telecommunications companies and industry analysts currently understand that data-only solutions are not sufficient to attract new customers, retain existing ones, and maintain or achieve profitability.

Our Television Over DSL Solution

mPhase markets and sells a line of innovative DSL (digital subscriber line)-based broadband telecommunications equipment. Our flagship product line includes two systems enabling the delivery of television over DSL. Both of these products facilitate telephone companies becoming full service communications providers by enabling the simultaneous delivery of digital broadcast television, high speed data and voice services over the existing telephone line infrastructure. mPhase has these systems with a specific target in mind, specifically, telephone companies in parts of the world where access to multi-channel television is limited, as well as domestic, rural telephone operators.

mPhase introduced its first TV over DSL product, the Traverser™ Digital Video and Data Delivery System, (DVDDS) in 1998. The DVDDS, is an end-to-end system based upon proprietary technology developed in conjunction with Georgia Tech Research Corporation. Because it is an end-to-end video-over-ADSL (asymetric digital subscriber line)equipment. The proprietary transport method utilized in the Traverser™ System is patent protected. The intellectual property embodied by the DVDDS System includes the ability to deliver a plurality of channels to a plurality of users, ensuring that all channels are available to all users at all times. The Company continues to market this product, and believes it to be ideal for customers particularly interested in supporting television services with a minimal need to support high-speed data customers.

The DVDDS is installed at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, where a 70-user system is currently operational. Hart Telephone completed the construction of its digital headend toward the end of 2001, signifying the commencement of commercial deployment. Another DVDDS system is installed at the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina for use as a closed television system in a commercial setting.

mPhase recently introduced its second product in its flagship line, called the mPhaseTV+ platform. mPhaseTV+ is a modular solution utilizing the industry-leading, standards-based Lucent Stinger DSL Access Concentrator for transport. During July of 2003, mPhase successfully tested its TV+ product with 3 customers of Hart telephone.

Bell Labs approached mPhase about creating a hybrid, mPhaseTV+ solution that would capitalize upon the strengths of each company’s DSL platform in December of 2002. Prior to this, Bell Labs had been working in a contract engineering capacity helping mPhase to cost-reduce its digital set top box.

The two companies elected to team and create what we believe to be the most reliable, scaleable and cost-effective system for the delivery of television services over copper telephone wires. This collaborative platform combines the data centric strengths of Lucent’s Stinger with the TV-centric strengths of mPhase’s Traverser™, resulting in a best of breed solution. For mPhase, the TV+ Solution marks a shift in strategy from selling a complete, proprietary platform to providing an industry-standard, modular solution. This joint approach offered a number of advantages. For instance, by utilizing the Lucent Stinger for transport, mPhase’s mPhaseTV+ platform can capitalize upon the proven, extremely robust and cost effective method of supporting and delivering data combined with the Traverser’s™ method of supporting video.

The mPhaseTV+ platform eliminates the need for telephone companies to replace their already installed equipment. Because this solution is modular, telephone companies that already have Stingers deployed can quickly and easily upgrade to support television in addition to data and voice services. There are currently 4 million Stinger ports deployed in 20 countries around the globe that deliver voice and data over DSL. With minor modifications, mPhase’s BTS and Traverser™ CPE are also interoperable with other leading vendor’s DSLAMs on the market today, making it possible for any telephone company with an installed base of equipment to quickly and relatively inexpensively become full service communications providers.

The mPhaseTV+ platform is ideally suited for large-scale deployments, and in parts of the world which cannot afford the cost of upgrading to cable infastructure. In contrast to the DVDDS, the TV+ Platform is well designed for markets where there either is currently or will likely be a demand to support high speed data AND television services simultaneously and cost effectively.

Business Development, Organization, and Acquisition Activities

We were incorporated in New Jersey in 1979 under the name Tecma Laboratory, Inc. In 1987, we changed our name to Tecma Laboratories, Inc. As Tecma Laboratories, Inc., the Company has primarily engaged in the research, development and exploitation of products in the skin care field. On February 17, 1997, we acquired Lightpaths, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was engaged in the development of telecommunications products incorporating DSL technology, and we changed our name to Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc.

On January 29, 1997, we formed another wholly-owned subsidiary called TLI Industries, Inc. The shares of TLI were spun off to our stockholders on March 31,1997 after we transferred the assets and liabilities,

including primarily fixed assets, patents and shareholder loans related to the prior business of Tecma Laboratories. As a consequence of these transactions, we became the holding company of our wholly owned subsidiary, Lightpaths, Inc. on February 17, 1997.

On June 2, 1997, we completed a reverse merger with Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc. and changed our name to mPhase Technologies, Inc.

On June 25, 1998, we acquired Microphase Telecommunications, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by issuing 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. Microphase Telecommunications’ principal assets were patents and patent applications utilized in the development of our proprietary Traverser™ technology.

In March 2000, we entered into a joint venture with Alphastar International, Inc. to form a company called mPhase Television.net, Inc., (mPhaseTV) in which we held a 50% interest. On May 1, 2000, we acquired an additional 6.5% interest in mPhaseTV, and made it one of our consolidated subsidiaries.

On March 14, 2000, we entered into an agreement with BMW Manufacturing Corp., located in South Carolina. Under the agreement, we installed version 1.0 of the Traverser™ for BMW’s telephone transmission network. BMW has agreed that, upon its notice and consent, we will be able to demonstrate to potential customers the functioning system at BMW’s facilities. BMW has made two (2) subsequent purchases increasing the size of its deployment to 48 unique units.

Our flagship installation, Hart Telephone, has completed the build and development of its digital headend during fourth quarter of 2001. The completion of their digital headend marks the move from beta to commercial deployment of the Traverser™ platform. Hart currently has approximately 70 customers receiving about 80 channels of television services.

In May of 2002 mPhase initiated discussions for development of a cost-reduced intelligent network interface (INI) set top box with the Bell Laboratories division of Lucent Technologies, Inc.

Effective December 1, 2002, mPhase entered into a Development Agreement with the Bell Laboratories division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. for the development of mPhase’s broadcast television switch (BTS) as an intergrated platform with the Lucent Stinger™ DSL Access Concentrator.

On December 9, 2002, pursuant to a Statement of Work, Lucent commenced development of the BTS for mPhase.

On December 15, 2003, mPhase engaged Lucent for the cost-reduction of its Traverser™ INI set top box.

On January 21, 2003, mPhase entered into a Co-Branding Agreement with Lucent under which mPhase’s INI set top box will be co-branded with the Lucent Technologies, Inc. name and logo.

On April 4, 2003, mPhase entered into a Systems Integration Agreement with Lucent. Under the terms of the agreement, mPhase has been given the exclusive right to sell worldwide a “bundled” solution consisting of mPhase BTS and the Lucent Stinger.

In May of 2003, MPhase has announced development of the mPhaseTV+ Platform with Lucent Technologies’ Bell Labs. This modular product, as described in the “Our Solutions” section earlier, utilizes the industry-standard Lucent Stinger for transport. Bell Labs has been design contracted to design the mPhase BTS and Traverser™ CPE to be used in conjunction with the Lucent Stinger. A redesigned cost reduced second generation set top box CPE equipment has been completed. A prototype version of the BTS is also completed and has been successfully tested with 3 customers at Hart telephone in July of 2003. The first version of our TV+ product is scheduled to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2004.

Our revenue, historically, has been derived from sales of component telephone equipment parts, the majority of which has come from our sales of POTS Splitter Shelves. In our fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003 respectively, we generated approximately $2.6 million and $1.6 million in revenue, respectively, from the commercial sale of our component products. Our other component products, including Filters and Central Office POTS Filter Shelves, are marketed to other DSL equipment vendors. We do not

believe that the sales of our Traverser™, mPhaseTV+ or INI2 feature products will be materially impaired by the sale of these component products to these potential competitors.

mPhase is in the process of evaluating a full range of contract manufacturers, including manufacturers outside of the U.S. We believe that there are many qualified manufacturers around the world. mPhase is likely to contract with multiple companies depending on which countries the Traverser™ DVDDS and TV+ products are deployed and depending upon cost-competitiveness.

Our Products & Services

To date mPhase’s revenue has been derived exclusively from sales of DSL component telephone equipment parts, the majority of which has come from our sales of POTS Splitter Shelves. We have derived no material revenue to date with respect to either of our broadcast television platform over DSL platforms. In our fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 we generated approximately $1.6 million and $2.6 million in revenue, respectively, from the commercial sale of our component products and overall losses for such years of $6,650,211 and $11,245,361 respectively.

mPhase supplies the telecommunications industry with products designed to enable, enhance or support broadband DSL services. mPhase’s line of TV-over-DSL products include its legacy, end to end platform, the Traverser™ Digital Video and Data Delivery System (DVDDS,) as well as its newly available mPhaseTV+ Platform. Additionally, mPhase markets a line of DSL component products ranging from commodity items such as traditional POTS Splitters and microfilters to higher-end, feature-rich products such as the recently introduced Intelligent POTS Splitter.

     Traverser DVDDS

mPhase’s legacy television-over-DSL System is the Traverser™ DVDDS. This system is a patented end-to-end solution enabling the delivery of digital broadcast television, high speed data services, and traditional voice services (requires Class5E voice switch) over a pair of copper telephone wires.

The mPhase DVDDS consists of three key elements: a digital headend called the Programming and Control Center (PCC), Central Office (CO) equipment which includes the Universal Access Shelf and POTS Splitter Shelf, and adjusted set top box called the INI. In order for a subscriber to receive services from a telco via the Traverser™ System, all three components must be installed.

Telecommunications service providers using the mPhase DVDDS need to build a digital video head-end to receive television content. This includes installing a satellite receiving dish, off-the-shelf video equipment and mPhase’s software to manage the video content. At the PCC, local off-air channels are received, digitized and combined with the signals received via satellite. The PCC can be co-located with a single central office or remotely located and connected to each CO via DWDM, SONET or ATM. mPhase does not manufacture digital head end equipment. However, after extensive lab and field testing, it has established vendor relationships with a number of head end equipment providers.

The Traverser™ DVDDS Central Office (CO) equipment, known as the mPhase Universal Access Shelf and POTS splitter shelf, integrate video signals from the PCC with the Internet and voice signals. The outputs are DSL “lines” capable of carrying a single high- quality video stream, high-speed data at speeds up to 2 Mbps downstream and telephone voice services.

Upon reaching the home or business, the DSL line is fed into the Traverser™ INI set top box, which functions as a combined DSL modem and digital set-top box. The set top box separates the three signals and routes them to the television, PC and telephone.

The DVDDS is telco switching and operating equipment agnostic and is not dependent on a specific operating configuration. However, because the DVDDS is based upon proprietary technology, it does not interoperate with other manufacturer’s DSL equipment, at neither the CO nor the home. Our patented television delivery method transmits signals in native MPEG-2 format to ensure high quality and reliability.

The Traverser™ utilizes technology we license exclusively from Georgia Tech Research Company and technology which we license non-exclusively from Globespan Semiconductor, Inc. Georgia Tech provided a

significant part of the engineering research and design to develop the Traverser™. The Traverser™ also utilizes an advanced filler technology developed by Microphase Corp.

     mPhaseTV+ Platform

mPhase and Bell Labs Lucent Technologies have teamed together to create an industry-standard, high quality and cost effective television over DSL platform known as the mPhaseTV+ Platform. This solution consists of three key elements:

 
The mPhase BTS (broadcast television switch) layer interfacing the video headend and the DSLAM;
     
 
Lucent’s Stinger DSL Access Concentrator, a field-tested central office (CO) piece of equipment which provides DSL connections to individual customers; and
     
 
mPhase CPE, a highly integrated set top box to deliver video in the home environment from the DSL link.

This hybrid, collaborative platform capitalizes upon the strengths of both Lucent’s and mPhase’s technology. The BTS embodies the same video networking intelligence as the Traverser™ DVDDS. However, when combined with the proven, robust Stinger, which effectively and cost-effectively supports data, the end result is what we believe to be a best-of-breed, industry-standard solution.

The mPhase BTS resides between the DSLAM and the video headend and provides video networking intelligence that enables television services over DSL. The BTS is also responsible for video-related functionality such as demuxing and mapping MPEG-2 bitstreams, video subscriber management, video content management and billing management.

MPhase has developed, in conjunction with Bell Labs, a low cost, efficient and compact digital set top box with an integrated DSL Modem called the INI. Various versions of this device exist or are in development such as a standards-based product inoperable with the Lucent Stinger as well as other manufactures’ DSLAMs, and a proprietary version interoperable with the mPhase Traverser™.

Together with a digital video headend (or PCC) and the Lucent Stinger, the mPhaseTV+ platform provides another end-to-end solution for customers wanting to provide television and high-speed data services over their existing copper infrastructure. Based on a streamlined, modular architecture, future upgrade, additional features and ancillary services can be implemented without major modifications to the entire system.

The Company expects to sell the mPhaseTV+ platform to customers planning to support large scale deployments, delivering both high speed data and television services. The original Traverser™ DVDDS is better suited for smaller deployments where the customer is primarily interested in delivering television and not necessarily high speed data. Both products are suited for markets lacking an existing coaxial cable infrastructure. Currently, both platforms support a single television stream and are therefore not competitive in urban and suburban U.S. markets where digital cable and DBS servers are prolific.

     Component Parts Pots Splitter Shelves Intelligent Pots Splitter (iPots)

mPhase also designs and markets a line of DSL component products ranging from commodity items such as carrier-class POTS splitters located at the central office as well as CPE splitters and filters located in the home. Recently, mPhase has introduced a line of innovative loop management products intended to lower the operational costs involved with supporting DSL services. The iPOTS, (intelligent POTS Splitter), product line includes the iPOTS1 and the iPOTS3. These products mark a significant advancement in automating loop management by utilizing “intelligent functionality” thereby enabling testing of a telephone loop for DSL deployment without having to dispatch personnel to the field to manually perform such tests. These products reduce the operational costs of deploying and maintaining DSL services. The iPOTS3 is an upgrade from the original iPOTS1, allowing service providers a 3-way view of the network and is compatible with DSLAM’s of most vendors. The iPOTS1 is designed for use only with the Lucent Stinger DSLAM.

mPhase has established a worldwide non-exclusive distribution agreement with Corning Cable Systems for the sale of the iPOTS product line. Utilizing Corning as a distribution channel potentially expands exposure for this product, as Corning is one of the largest vendors of central office DSL filtering equipment. In parallel, the Company continues to aggressively market this product directly.

     mPhaseStretch

mPhase has developed another product known as the mPhaseStretch™. This product is a loop extender which enhances the performance of the legacy Traverser™ DVDDS System by extending its transmission distance for the delivery of voice, video and data up to 20,000 feet. The mPhaseStretch™ is a powered device that is placed on the line at approximately 9,000 feet or before the signal degrades. The addition of the Stretch gives mPhase what the Company believes to be the greatest serviceable distance radius for the delivery of converged services. Our current product is only compatible with the Traverser™ DVDDS. A universal version of the Stretch™, or a version interoperable with other vendor’s DSLAM equipment, (including the mPhase TV+/Lucent Stinger solution) is currently being developed by mPhase.

     Microfilters

We have developed a complete line of microfilters, including a 2 and 4 pole filter for use in single and multiphone households, as well as a network interface splitter.

     mPhase Television.Net, Inc.

mPhase Television. Net, Inc. (mPhase TV) has established licensing agreements with content originators thus allowing service providers to offer subscribers a full complement of U.S. television programming. mPhase TV has secured rights to rebroadcast television content from U.S. network and cable broadcasters. mPhase TV can offer programming content in the U.S. to U.S. telephone service providers seeking to deploy either of mPhase’s television platforms. This eliminates the need for service providers from having to negotiate many separate contracts with U.S. broadcast television programmers.

It is important to note that the role of mPhaseTV has changed since its inception. Originally, mPhaseTV was to act as a content aggregator, downlinking a complete lineup of channels, digitizing those channels and uplinking them via satellite for further delivery to each telco site. The benefit of mPhaseTV acting as a content aggregator was that service providers would not have to build a full-scale headend that included encoders, and other equipment. However, recent advances in technology have significantly reduced the costs for a telephone company to build a full scale headend. Therefore the role of mPhaseTV is now limited to providing the appropriate licenses and relationships as opposed to offering a content aggregation solution. Telephone companies purchasing content through mPhaseTV are required to build a full-scale digital headend.

In March of 2000, mPhase provided the initial funding for mPhaseTV, by lending it $1,000,000 at 8% per annum interest. The loan is repayable to us in common stock at the time that mPhase Television qualifies for listing in the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. We also contributed $20,000 in cash to the joint venture and granted options to Alphastar Internal Inc. (Alphastar) to purchase 200,000 shares of our stock for $4.00 per share. The agreement required Alphastar to provide mPhase Television the right to transmit television broadcasts over Alphastar’s digital satellite network. On May 1, 2000, we acquired an additional 6.5% interest in mPhase Television for an additional $1,500,000 in cash. We report mPhaseTV as a consolidated subsidiary.

As part of its cost reduction efforts in fiscal year 2002, mPhase renegotiated its joint venture relationship with Alphastar that originally established mPhaseTV. Under the new arrangement, mPhaseTV terminated its lease of the rights to use Alphastar’s earth station satellite uplink and downlink facility in Oxford, CT. Such facilities had enabled mPhaseTV to aggregate television content from the multiple networks and content providers eliminating the need for telecommunications service providers in the United States from building a master headend as an additional cost to the Traverser™ DVDDS and TV+ platforms. As noted above, recent developments in technology have significantly reduced the cost of such master headend facilities which eliminates the need for mPhase to aggregate television content. mPhaseTV may serve as a strategic asset for

 

32


Back to Contents

selling the mPhase’s video over DSL solutions in the U.S. by having secured the rights to transmit over DSL over a number of television channels directly from the content providers. This eliminates the need for a U.S. telecommunication services provider from purchasing either of mPhase’s television delivery platforms from having to assemble such rights itself from each of the content providers. mPhase currently owns a 56% controlling interest in mPhaseTV.

     Research and Development Activities

We have designed the Traverser™ and its ancillary component parts in conjunction with Georgia Tech Research Institute which conducts a majority of our digital research and development for the Traverser™ line of products. Microphase Corporation contributed the analog technology incorporated in the design of the Traverser™, as well as providing ongoing development of analog components for the Traverser™.

As of June 30, 2003, we had been billed approximately $13,500,000 for research and development conducted by Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRC), of which approximately $1,770,480 remains outstanding. On March 26, 1998, we entered into a license agreement with Georgia Tech which owns the Digital Video and Data System technology. GTRC and its affiliates have granted us the exclusive license to use and re-sell Traverser™ DVDDS worldwide. We are obligated to pay Georgia Tech royalties of 5% on future sales of the Traverser™DVDDS. The license agreement expires automatically when the patents covering the invention expire. We are currently negotiating with Georgia Tech to amend certain provisions of the agreement which would reduce the royalty in connection with the settlement of mPhase’s current account with GTRC.

On February 13, 2003 mPhase announced that the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. would help redesign a cost-reduced features enhanced version of mPhase’s Traverser™ Intelligent Network Interface digital set top box. The initial version of the newly- designed box will cost approximately 50% less than mPhase original set top box. The newly designed set top box will be developed in stages and will eventually support multiple channels of television, an electronic programming guide, video-on-demand, MPEG-2 and MPEG 4 digital quality TV, video over IP and is compatible with both CAP and DMT modulation. mPhase has contracted to pay Lucent a total of $625,000 relating to the redesign and cost-reduction of its set top box and has paid as of March 31, 2003 $472,955 to Lucent representing installments due based upon percentage of completion of the purchase order. In addition, mPhase has contracted to pay Lucent $1,000,000 for development of its broadcast digital television switch and integration of such switch with the Lucent Stinger resulting in mPhase’s new mPhaseTV+ Platform. As of March 30, 2003 mPhase has paid Lucent $100,000 for such product and has an accrued balance of $200,000. mPhase is obligated to pay Lucent $100,000 per month through November of 2003 for completion of the mPhaseTV+ Platform. Finally, mPhase has recently entered into a new Development Agreement, dated as of September 15, 2003, with Lucent to continue development of new features and enhanced capabilities for its TV+ platform at a cost of $1,190,000.

     Market

Currently, mPhase’s target market for its television over DSL solutions include telephone companies and telecommunications service providers worldwide. By deploying converged voice, video and data over their existing copper telephone infrastructure, telecommunications service providers can increase revenue and profitability and retain valuable market share. In most parts of the world, the telephone company is strongly positioned to be first to market with an integrated bundle of communications services. There are over 1 billion telephone lines serving consumers around the globe compared to only 586.9 (source: Kagan World Media) million homes passed by cable. In today’s competitive telecommunications landscape, both the Traverser™ and the mPhaseTV+ platform have now become necessary solutions for all telecommunications service providers to compete effectively in today’s marketplace.

We estimate that on average, a typical telco using either mPhase’s end-to-end system, the Traverser™ DVDDS, or it’s mPhaseTV+ platform utilizing the Lucent Stinger can generate significant revenue with a payback on its initial investment in either system within 2-3 years depending on the size and scope of the deployment. Importantly, this relatively short payback period is still applicable in countries where the average cost of a basic cable television package is well below the US average. The economics of mPhase’s video

over DSL platforms are such that, for example, when charging as little as $7 per month per subscriber for a basic television package, the system operator can expect a full return on investment within a three-year period of time. Furthermore, over 5 years a telecommunications service provider can achieved a significantly higher rate of return on its investment in either of our TV platforms than would be possible with deploying voice and data alone. mPhase has developed a detailed and highly customizable return on investment model to assist the telco in assessing its rates of return and profitability based on additional revenue generated by the new services.

mPhase expects to derive the majority of its revenue from the sale of its mPhaseTV+ television over DSL platform, developed in conjunction with Lucent Technologies, for a number of reasons:

1. The platform has been designed to achieve maximum cost efficiencies. Initial versions of this product will be cost-competitive with the mPhase Traverser™ DVDDS. However, because this solution utilizes the Lucent Stinger for transport, continued price reductions are expected. It is anticipated that as Lucent continues to drive down the cost of the Stinger and as further engineering efforts are completed in the Stinger to better and more efficiently support broadcast video services, we believe the total per port cost of the mPhaseTV+ platform will be the most cost-effective solution available on the market.

2. mPhase believes its business partnership with Lucent will help validate our products and result in greater sales. mPhase will be able to leverage Lucent’s relationships with its estimated 250 business partners around the globe, thereby increasing exposure for its mPhaseTV+ product set significantly.

3. The mPhaseTV+ platform more effectively supports the delivery of data services than the Traverser™DVDDS. Therefore, in markets where large-scale data deployments will be required, the mPhaseTV+ platform brings to mPhase a new competitive advantage. By contrast, the Traverser™ DVDDS is better suited for deployments where the support of television services is the primary and long-term objective, such as in commercial settings.

mPhase is currently targeting international incumbent telephone companies and rural independent domestic local exchange carriers for sale of its TV over DSL platforms. The Company expects to derive the majority of its system sales abroad, specifically from telephone service providers in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa. Additionally, the modular video elements of mPhase’s mPhaseTV+ platform (i.e., the BTS and INI) can be retrofitted to existing Lucent Stinger deployments. mPhase, through the support of Lucent, anticipates targeting many of the customers of Lucent that currently have deployed over 4 million ports of the Stinger data and voice delivery product in over 20 countries around the globe.

mPhase believes that foreign telco markets will adopt its TV over DSL product solutions more rapidly than domestic service providers since there is not generally the demand outside of the United States for robust cable features (such as simultaneous delivery of 3 different TV channels through one set top box) as there is in the United States. Therefore, the Company has placed much of its initial emphasis on targeting the international telco market.

The demand for alternative television options is high in Europe, Asia and Latin America. According to the Yankee Group, European countries have been early adopters of video-over-DSL and alternative video delivery technologies, deploying and testing services more aggressively than North America. These markets possess pockets of moderate to high-income households willing and able to purchase advanced digital services, but very few alternatives exist. According to the Gartner Group, another industry analyst, the number of carriers in the Europe, Middle East and African regions planning on deploying video over DSL services has “leapt from 40 percent to almost 75% in 2002.” Analysts from the Gartner Group commented that, “This is a clear sign that carriers realize they need to move upstream with broadband value-added services.”

Cable television and digital broadcast satellite (DBS) services are less competitive internationally than in North America. Because of the limited expansion of cable, especially two-way digital cable and satellite networks abroad, access to advanced communications services such as high-speed Internet and digital television in many areas is limited to copper-based delivery methods.

Parts of the world representing the largest opportunities for mPhase include Latin America, Eastern Europe and parts of Africa. For instance, multichannel television service providers in Latin America have only penetrated 18.3% of the 94.7 million television-owning households (source: Kagan World Media). In Latin American telecommunications service providers deploying one of mPhase’s solutions for TV over DSL will be able to offer television services at very competitive rates. Currently, multichannel television services are only available to the top-tier consumers in Latin America as well as in other developing parts of the world. mPhase’s return on investment models indicate that telecommunications service providers charging as little as $7 a month for basic services can anticipate a return on investment within a very short period of time. This attractive business model will help make digital multichannel television service available to a large number of potential new users.

The U.S. multichannel television market is highly competitive, because the penetration of cable services in North America is much higher than the rest of the world and there are numerous service options for multichannel pay TV customers, telecommunications service providers must provide incentives for cable television subscribers to switch service providers. However, in foreign markets, where (a) there is a high penetration of television sets, a very limited number of broadcast television channels are received using antennas from “through-the-air” broadcast and (b) direct-to-home satellite providers cannot currently support the delivery of reliable, two-way data services. In such markets we believe that a telephone company is much better positioned to be the initial and primary provider of bundled converged services.

The following table represents the estimated number of television viewers in select countries.

Competition in the telco market is becoming increasingly aggressive due to changing telecommunications regulation, heightened competitive threats from alternative technologies, such as cable and digital broadcast satellite, and price declines in local and long distance telephony services.

Domestic telecommunications service providers face difficulty in maintaining market share and revenue. Price declines in traditional voice services and the proliferation of Internet telephony are impacting operating margins. mPhase believes that the independent, rural domestic telco is the especially vulnerable to these competitive threats and has a need to develop new product delivery capabilities to increase revenues and margins. However, independent telecommunications service providers are not as well capitalized as the larger domestic regional bell operating companies and other large incumbent service providers and therefore tend to be very cost conscious in equipment deployment.

In areas where there is sparse cable deployment, or the cable infrastructure is antiquated, there is an increasing demand for better quality of service, more programming channels and additional services. The independent telecommunications service providers operating in these areas can benefit from the incremental revenue generated by services offered through mPhase’s TV-over-DSL platforms.

Beyond selling its solution to telephone companies, mPhase believes it will eventually experience success in serving the global multi-dwelling unit (MDU) market. This market consists of large residential or multi-office complexes, hotels, and campus environments. The MDU can effectively become its own multi-channel television content distributor using either the Traverser™ or the mPhaseTV+ solution by building a digital video head-end to downlink broadcast television programming and installing mPhase’s equipment.

mPhase is in the process of evaluating market opportunities in North America and around the world to address commercial applications of the Traverser™ DVDDS and TV+ platforms. However, the Company believes that commercial sales to manufacturing or enterprise customers will only represent a marginal source of revenue because of the limited scope and demand for internal broadcasting networks in the commercial market.

Sales Strategy
 
     TV over DSL products

mPhase will pursue sales opportunities through a variety of channels, including direct sales by the Company’s internal sales team, distributors and in conjunction with Lucent Technologies, Inc.

mPhase’s most recent product offering, the mPhaseTV+ was designed to utilize Lucent Technologies’ Stinger for transport. By adding an mPhase BTS at the central office and mPhase’s standards-based digital set top box at the customer premises, mPhaseTV+ services can be added anywhere the Stinger is or going to be deployed. The Lucent Stinger is an already proven solution with over 4 million ports deployed in 20 countries around the globe. In parts of the world lacking cable infrastructure where the Stinger is deployed represents an opportunity to retrofit these deployments with television services. And for new deployment opportunities, mPhase will be able to leverage the Lucent brand and the reputation of the Stinger as a highly scaleable and cost-effective transport medium.

mPhase has also established a reseller agreement with Lucent, making it a part of Lucent’s Global Business Partner organization. As a result of this agreement, mPhase can sell carriers a complete solution by reselling the Lucent Stinger along with mPhase’s BTS and Traverser™ INI Set Top Box. In addition, mPhase and Lucent are developing a joint marketing program. As part of this program, the two companies will identify target markets where their combined television, voice and data over DSL solution is most competitive. Together, Lucent and mPhase will approach Lucent’s established global business partners with the mPhaseTV+ solution for further marketing to targeted telecommunications service providers. This partnership represents a tremendous opportunity for mPhase, as Lucent has over 250 business partners in more than 40 countries around the globe.

In markets where Lucent is directly selling into accounts deemed to be strong potential markets, the two companies can collaborate their efforts to bring forth a compelling product solution.

     Joint Venture Opportunities

There also exist opportunities for mPhase to capture recurring revenue from the sale and deployment of its video over DSL systems through a joint venture business model. Under this scenario, mPhase would sell its equipment to a joint venture company, of which mPhase retains a minority position. This company would negotiate either a line leasing or revenue share program with the incumbent telephone company and subsequently deploy and operate one of mPhase’s television over DSL platforms. mPhase believes a JV may provide additional opportunities for sales to international telephone carriers that may not have the funds to procure mPhase’s television over DSL system, yet recognize the potential business opportunity for such a platform.

Funding of the equipment and operation of the system would be the responsibility of the JV. Member companies of the JV would include entities interested in controlling television services such as the government and large media groups. For example, mPhase is pursuing a JV in Turkey where the funding partners include companies that own newspapers and television stations that are looking to expand their revenues. Although a JV requires greater involvement from mPhase in terms of organizing and coordinating the appropriate parties, the long term potential benefits to mPhase are great. mPhase would not only secure equipment sales, but would benefit from the recurring revenues from a JV engaged in being a broadcast television service provider.

     DSL Component Products

mPhase also sells a line of DSL component products including: POTS Splitter Shelves iPOTS Splitters, in-line microfilters, Continuity Test Cards and Network Intelligent Device splitters. These products are essential components to any DSL installation, regardless of the DSL equipment vendor. The mPhase components are interoperable with Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexing equipment from a broad range of DSL manufacturers. Potential customers for the DSL component products include other DSL equipment manufacturers, re- sellers, network integrators and telecommunications service providers deploying DSL worldwide.

To date, mPhase has deployed over 250,000 POTS Splitter ports. The mPhase DSL component products are sold both by mPhase directly as well as through established distribution agreements.

The Company recognizes the current depressed market conditions that pervade the telecommunications equipment industry. However, the Company has begun to experience a rebound in the market and anticipates sales to increase in the second half of calendar year 2003.

We are continuously in discussions with various original equipment manufacturers of telecommunications equipment to identify opportunities for joint bids for infrastructure deployment with major domestic and international telecommunications service providers. We also continue to market our component products directly.

     Intellectual Property, Patents and Licenses

We have filed and intend to file United States patent 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. With respect to foreign patents, the patent laws of other countries may differ significantly from those of the United States regarding patent protection 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 that 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 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 intellectual property owned and licensed by us falls into two general categories, analog and digital intellectual property. We have a pending patent application that was filed in June 1999 claiming priority to three provisional patent applications for the analog portion of our technology used in relation to the Traverser™ DVDDS platform.

Our DSL filter technology enables increased video clarity over copper wire, longer transmission distances and decreased signal error rate. The intellectual property related to the DSL filters includes:

 
low pass filter shelves and POTS Splitters, which combine the Traverser™ DSL spectrum from the traditional voice service; and;
     
 
ADSL filters, which are filters that conform to the worldwide DSL standard and are utilized in the transmission of data and voice service at up to 8 Mbps. We believe that both of these components are key to providing a DSL signal at sufficient quality and service distances for combined video and data delivery.

We license our digital intellectual property. We also have an exclusive, worldwide license to manufacture and market products using the technology developed by Georgia Tech under our contract with

them. The exclusive license with Georgia Tech is applicable for the duration of their patent protecting the system design and other technology related to the Traverser™ DVDDS platform.

The licensed patented and patent-pending technology developed at Georgia Tech covers the capabilities of the Traverser™ DVDDS.

A patent for the System and Method for the Delivery of Digital Video and Data over a Communications Channel was issued on November 28, 2000 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation.

The digital intellectual property that we license provides several unique aspects of the Traverser™ DVDDS. Among these is the backplane design, which provides every subscriber the ability to view any channel available. All subscribers in a given system could be watching the same channel, or could be watching different channels with no degradation of service. The proprietary design, which does not incorporate a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer architecture, makes the Traverser™ DVDDS a true broadcast system rather than a mere video delivery system.

The patent issued on March 27, 2001 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation for the System and Method for Maintaining Timing Synchronization in a Digital Video Network covers the development of the Framer and the Framer chip. The Framer is an Integrated Circuit which gives the Traverser™ the capability of allocating both the downstream and upstream bandwidth into virtually any application required. This feature allows the Traverser™ to deliver both MPEG-2 Digital Video and Internet data simultaneously and also allows for future applications of the Traverser™. This technology is exclusively licensed worldwide to mPhase Technologies, Inc.

The patent issued on November 27, 2001 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation for the Method and Apparatus for Combining a Plurality of 8B/10B Encoded Data Streams addresses video data transport between digital headends and the access network serving subscribers. A further patent is pending covering other methods of video program transport.

We also have patents pending that protect:

 
the software management and control of the individual Traverser™ links, the DVDDS, and the channel changing methodology and interface to the electronic program guide at the customer site through the Intelligent Network Interface;
     
 
apparatus and methods of remote control of the Intelligent Network Interface; and,
     
 
systems and methods to provide subscribers means to playback previously recorded video content.

We purchase from GlobeSpan telecommunication rate adaptive DSL chipsets used in the Traverser™ DVDDS.

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. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of the Traverser™ technology, our future operations could be adversely affected.

Regulation

The Federal Communication Commission, or FCC, and various state public utility and service commissions, regulate most of our potential domestic customers. Changes to FCC regulatory policies may affect the accessibility of communications services, and otherwise affect how telecommunications providers conduct their business. These regulations may adversely affect our potential penetration into certain markets. In addition, our business and results of operations may also be adversely affected by the imposition of certain tariffs, duties and other import restrictions on components which we obtain from non-domestic component suppliers. Changes in current or future laws or regulations, in the U.S. or elsewhere, could materially adversely affect our business.

Competition

mPhase competes with broadband equipment manufacturers including cable and digital broadcast satellite equipment manufacturers, as well as other equipment vendors manufacturing DSL and/or video over DSL equipment. The global telco customer base has the ability to adopt other forms of content distribution if it chooses to compete in the multi-channel home entertainment market. However, mPhase believes its television platforms are attractive to a broader range of customers of telecommunication service providers. The following sections outline the competitive landscape for mPhase.

     Direct Broadcast Satellite Services

In the US, direct broadcast satellite (DBS) providers have experienced increased market penetration over the past few years. DBS service is the only alternative television delivery method in rural areas where cable has not been deployed, or antiquated analog cable is predominant. However, in some cases, DBS service does not include local off-air channels and most DBS operators are not able to provide wireless high-speed Internet service. Technology enabling two-way, high-speed Internet access over DBS is relatively new and we expect it will take time to reach broad market acceptance as a cost-effective, reliable data delivery method.

     Cable Television Network Operators

Although the cable industry is our indirect competitor, the Company believes that two-way cable service provides incentive to telecommunications service providers to explore additional services. Cable companies pose a serious competitive threat to telephone company market share. However, in order for cable companies to compete for high-speed Internet and telephony customers, the cable plant must be upgraded to two-way digital cable. Cable companies have invested large amounts of capital to upgrade dense service population areas in the US. However, cable operators typically underserved less densely populated regions with antiquated analog cable systems. Outside of the U.S., very little two-way cable plants have been installed.

Telecommunications service providers around the world have the incentive to deploy TV-over-DSL solutions either because of the threat of the cable companies, or because of the lack of cable infrastructure. The Company believes that its TV over DSL platforms are the most cost effective and robust video delivery technology deployable by our primary target market of international telecommunications service providers. Installing our platforms will facilitate telephone companies in retaining and capturing market share, as well as generating incremental revenue. mPhase’s Traverser™ DVDDS and mPhaseTV+ solutions enable telecommunications service providers to compete effectively in a converging services market with a “triple play” of services—digital television, high-speed data and voice services in an attractive bundled package.

     Other DSL and Video over Copper (VoC) Equipment Manufacturers

mPhase competes with vendors of DSL equipment and system software. Companies that supply DSL technology including 2Wire, ADC telecom, Advanced Fiber Communications, Alcatel, Broadcom, Copper Mountain, Corning Cable System, Ericson, Fujutsu, Motorola, Minerva, ECI Telecom, Turnstone, Westell, Teradyne, TuT Systems, Marconi Communications, NEC, Nokia, Paradyne, Samsung, Texas Instruments, DVTel, Inc. Pace Micro Tech., Net to Net, and Myrio.

Other Video-over-DSL technologies compete with the Traverser™ DVDDS and TV+ platforms are summarized below.

     Differentiating Factors

mPhase believes that it offers the most reliable, scaleable and cost effective television over copper solutions. The mPhase TV over DSL solutions were designed specifically to enable delivery of broadcast television over DSL. Both the Traverser™ DVDDS and the mPhaseTV+ platform are basic solutions for delivery of digital broadcast television over DSL without expensive features such as interactive television, video-on-demand and simultaneous multi channel delivery over a copper telephone line. Such features can be added to our platforms depending upon demand. mPhase television products are solutions for parts of the world that are in need of “just TV” rather than costly, feature rich solutions. We believe there is a significant market that is not currently serviced world wide for delivery of broadcast television programming on a cost-effective basis. mPhase’s streamlined solutions are designed to be the most cost-effective in emerging international markets.

There are a number of telecommunications equipment providers competing in the television over DSL space. For instance, a new division of Motorola (formerly known as Next Level Communications) has secured over 100 customers predominantly in the United States. The majority of their video deployments utilize a specific form of DSL known as VDSL (very fast digital subscriber line). VDSL requires that telecommunications service providers install fiber optics into the neighborhood, or close to the customer premises because signals can only travel up to 3-4,000 feet over copper telephone wires. As a result, compared to the mPhase solutions, the platform is significantly more capital intensive and therefore expensive due to the cost of the infrastructure upgrade (i.e., installing fiber optics closer to the customer premises). Motorola has also introduced an ADSL version of its equipment, which has a serviceable distance radius of approximately 8,000 feet. This newer product could compete more directly with both of mPhase’s TV over DSL solutions. Motorola’s Television over DSL products tend to be more feature rich and expensive than mPhase’s solutions. Motorola concentrates the majority of its sales efforts within the US market where consumers demand a robust viewing experience due to the penetration of fiber and cable.

Another company that sells equipment similar to mPhase is Alcatel. Alcatel is the leading supplier of DSLAMS (digital subscriber line access multiplexers) around the globe. Alcatel has deployed several video over DSL trials although its largest, with Aliant Telecom in Canada, was discontinued. Historically, Alcatel has worked with multiple equipment vendors to create a complete, end-to-end video solution, including software providers and set top box provider, Pace. Recently Alcatel acquired iMagicTV, adding to its product line for delivery of television over DSL. Alcatel recently announced upgrades to its DSLAM line or products to better support the delivery of converged voice, video and data.

Lucent also offers another video-over-DSL solution currently deployed at SakTel in Canada. This solution, similar to Motorola’s products, offers greater functionality and features, however is more costly in terms of per port equipment cost than the mPhaseTV+ platform. Finally, other smaller vendors are emerging, partnering with third party equipment vendors to create a video-over-DSL platform. Equipment providers such as Net to Net and Paradyne are modifying their data platforms to support the delivery of television services. However, mPhase believes it has certain cost of equipment advantages over other vendors making its system more economically viable for potential customers. The Company believes that the strength of the video-centric BTS coupled with the strength of the data-centric Lucent Stinger make its solution extremely competitive in its target markets.

     Headend Equipment Providers

As discussed earlier, mPhase does not manufacturer digital head end gear. All customers interested in deploying an mPhase video over DSL system must build a digital headend to receive, digitize and groom the television signals. Through extensive lab and field testing, mPhase has established an approved vendor list of several headend providers.

Employment Agreements

All employment agreements with our current management have expired and are in the process of being renegotiated subject to approval of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan

We have a Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, under which we have reserved for issuance 15,000,000 shares of common stock. Our shareholders approved our 2001 Stock Incentive Plan at our annual meeting of shareholders on May 30, 2001. The plan provides for grants of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to our key employees and consultants and those key employees and consultants of our subsidiaries.

With respect to our current plan, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors administers and interprets our current plan. The exercise price of common stock underlying an option may be greater, less than or equal to fair market value. However, the exercise price of an incentive stock option must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date such incentive stock option is granted. The maximum term of an option is five years from the date of grant. In the event of a dissolution, liquidation or change in control transaction, we may require option holders to either exercise their options within 30 days or surrender such options (or unexercised portion thereof).

Upon stockholder approval, the Board of Directors merged our prior Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan into the 2001 Plan.

The purpose of the 2001 Plan is to promote our long-term growth and profitability by providing key people with incentives to improve stockholder value and contribute to our growth and financial success and by enabling us to attract, retain and reward the best available people.

The maximum number of shares of common stock that we may issue with respect to awards under the 2001 Plan is 20,000,000 shares, in addition to the shares previously authorized for issuance under our Company plan, but which are not issued before our current plan is merged into the 2001 Plan.

The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to awards of any combination that may be granted under the 2001 Plan during any fiscal year to any one individual is limited to 2,500,000 subject to the exceptions made by the Board of Directors. These limits will be adjusted to reflect any stock dividends, split-ups and reverse stock split, unless the Board determines otherwise. If any award, or portion of an award, under the 2001 Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered or canceled as to any shares, or if any shares of common stock are surrendered to us in connection with any award (whether or not such surrendered shares were acquired pursuant to any award), or if any shares are withheld by us, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered or withheld shares will thereafter be available for further awards under the 2001 Plan. Those shares that are surrendered to or withheld by us, or that are forfeited after issuance, however, will not be available for incentive stock options.

The 2001 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors or by a committee or committees as the Board of Directors may appoint from time to time. The administrator has full power and authority to take all actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the 2001 Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to: (i) determine who is eligible for awards, and the time or times at which such awards will be granted; (ii) determine the types of awards to be granted; (iii) determine the number of shares covered by or used for reference purposes for each award; (iv) impose such terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such award as the administrator deems appropriate; (v) modify, amend, extend or renew outstanding awards, or accept the surrender of outstanding awards and substitute new awards (provided however, that, except as noted below, any modification that would materially adversely affect any outstanding award may not be made without the consent of the holder); (vi) accelerate or otherwise change the time in which an award may be exercised or becomes payable and to waive or accelerate the lapse, in whole or in part, of any restriction or condition with respect to such award, including, but not limited to, any restriction or condition with respect to the vesting or exercisability of an award following termination of any grantee’s employment or consulting relationship; and (vii) establish objectives and conditions, if any, for earning awards and determining whether awards will be paid after the end of a performance period.

In the event of changes in our common stock by reason of any stock dividend, split-up, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, business combination or exchange of shares and the like, the administrator may make adjustments to the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2001 Plan, in the aggregate or per individual per year, and to the number, kind and price of shares covered by outstanding award.

Without the consent of holders of awards, the administrator in its discretion is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us, or our financial statements or those of any of our affiliates, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2001 Plan.

Participation in the 2001 Plan will be open to all of our employees, officers, directors and other individuals providing bona fide services to us or any of our affiliates, as the administrator may select from time to time. All three (3) non-employee directors and approximately ten (10) employees will be eligible to participate in the 2001 Plan.

The 2001 Plan allows for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, phantom stock awards and performance awards. The administrator may grant these awards separately or in tandem with other awards. The administrator will also determine the prices, expiration dates and other material conditions governing the exercise of the awards. We, or any of our affiliates, may make or guarantee loans to assist grantees in exercising awards and satisfying any withholding tax obligations arising from awards.

Because participation and the types of awards available for grant under the 2001 Plan are subject to the discretion of the administrator, the benefits or amounts that any participant or groups of participants may receive if the 2001 Plan is approved are not currently determinable. For this purpose, the benefits or amounts that participants may receive if the 2001 Plan is approved do not include awards granted under the Prior Plan that are amended and restated to become awards covering the same number of shares under the terms of the 2001 Plan. These amended and restated awards are not contingent on stockholder approval since the Prior Plan was previously approved by the stockholders.

Our Board of Directors may terminate, amend or modify all or any provision of the 2001 Plan at any time.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

mPhase’s President and Chairman of the Board of the Company are also employees of Microphase. On May 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Microphase, whereby it will use office space as well as the administrative services of Microphase, including the use of accounting personnel. This agreement was for $5,000 per month and was on a month-to-month basis. In July 1998, the office space agreement was revised to increase the rent to $10,000 and in January 2000 to $11,050 per month. In July 2002, such amount was increased to $12,200 per month, and as of January 1, 2003 such rent was reduced to $10,000 per month.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering for resale by the selling stockholders and certain transferees a total of shares of common stock, of which shares are issued and outstanding and up to shares are issuable upon exercise of warrants. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock, although we may receive up to approximately $ upon exercise of all of the warrants and options by the selling stockholders. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock. If the shares of common stock are sold through broker-dealers or agents, the selling stockholder will be responsible for any compensation to such broker-dealers or agents.

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus.

 

58


Back to Contents

The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders will sell their shares of common stock subject to the following:

  (i)
all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or successors in interest, may be sold on the OTC Bulletin Board Market, any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares of our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise, short sales or in a combination of such transactions;
     
  (ii)
each sale may be made at market prices prevailing at the time of such sale, at negotiated prices, at fixed prices, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale;
     
  (iii)
some or all of the shares of common stock may be sold through one or more broker-dealers or agents and may involve crosses, block transactions, or hedging transactions. The selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or agents, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock to close out short positions, or loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers or agent that in turn may sell such shares; and
     
  (iv)
in connection with such sales through one or more broker-dealers or agents, such broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and may receive commissions from the purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they act as broker-dealer or agent or to whom they sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). Any broker-dealer or agent participating in any such sale may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and will be required to deliver a copy of this prospectus to any person who purchases any share of common stock from or through such broker-dealer or agent. We have been advised that, as of the date hereof, none of the selling stockholders have made any arrangements with any broker-dealer or agent for the sale of their shares of common stock.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profits realized by the selling stockholders and any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition, any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

If required at the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the shelf registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will bear all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The selling stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions and expenses, brokerage fees and transfer taxes, as well as the fees and disbursements of counsel to and experts for the selling stockholders, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreement or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We will be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement or will be entitled to contribution. Once sold under this shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Our authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value. As of October 29, 2003, approximately 72 million shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding and held by approximately 11,000 stockholders of record. Of the shares of our issued and outstanding common stock, shares are covered by this prospectus. In addition shares or our common stock authorized but unissued as of the date of this prospectus will be issued on exercise of warrants held by certain selling stockholders.

The following description of our capital stock is a summary of the material terms of such stock. It does not purport to be complete and is subject in all respects to the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and to applicable New Jersey law.

Common Stock

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election of Directors is not provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voted elects the Directors then standing for election. The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available for dividends, at such appropriate times and in such amounts as our Board of Directors decides. The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights or other subscription rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of liabilities. Shares of common stock shall be transferred only on our books upon surrender to us or a duly appointed transfer agent of the certificate or certificates properly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer.

Common Stock Warrants

This prospectus also covers shares of common stock purchasable pursuant to outstanding warrants and options. The exercise price of these warrants range from $.01 to $1.05. These warrants and options have expiration terms ranging from 2005 to 2008.

Filling Vacancies on the Board

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that any vacancy on the Board that results from an increase in the number of Directors during the interim between annual meetings or special meetings of shareholders may be filled by the Board. These provisions could temporarily prevent any shareholder from obtaining majority representation on the Board by enlarging the Board and filling the new directorships with its own nominees.

New Jersey Shareholders Protection Act

There are provisions of New Jersey law, and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, that may have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions are designed to protect shareholders against coercive, unfair or inadequate tender offers and other abusive tactics and to encourage any person contemplating a business combination with us to negotiate with our Board of Directors for the fair and equitable treatment of all shareholders.

New Jersey has adopted a type of anti-takeover statute known as the New Jersey Shareholders Protection Act. Subject to numerous qualifications and exceptions, the statute prohibits an interested shareholder of a corporation from effecting a business combination with the corporation for a period of five years unless the corporation’s board approved the combination prior to the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder. In addition, but not in limitation of the five-year restriction, if applicable, corporations covered by the New Jersey statute may not engage at any time in a business combination with any interested shareholder of that corporation unless the combination is approved by the board prior to the interested shareholder’s stock acquisition date, the combination receives the approval of two-thirds of the voting stock of the corporation not beneficially owned by the interested shareholder, or the combination meets minimum financial terms specified by the statute. An “interested shareholder” is defined to include any beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any affiliate or associate of the corporation who within the prior five year period has at any time owned 10% or more of the voting power. The term “business combination” is defined broadly to include, among other things:

 
the merger or consolidation of the corporation with the interested shareholder or any corporation that after the merger or consolidation would be an affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder,
     
 
the sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition to an interested shareholder or any affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder of 10% or more of the corporation’s assets, or
     
 
the issuance or transfer to an interested shareholder or any affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder of 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the stock of the corporation.

The effect of the statute is to protect non-tendering, post-acquisition minority shareholders from mergers in which they will be “squeezed out” after the merger, by prohibiting transactions in which an acquirer could favor itself at the expense of minority shareholders. The New Jersey statute generally applies to corporations that are organized under New Jersey law, have either their principal executive offices or significant business operations located in New Jersey, and have a class of stock registered or traded on a national securities exchange or registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the common stock we are offering pursuant to this prospectus will be passed upon by the law firm of Martin S. Smiley General Counsel to the Company. Mr. Smiley beneficially owns an aggregate of 3,841,050 shares of common stock and 2,693,002 shares are being registered as part of this prospectus.

EXPERTS

The financial statements and schedules included in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement, to the extent and for the periods indicated in their reports, have been reviewed by Rosenberg, Rich, Baker, Berman & Company and audited by Arthur Andersen, LLP and Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC, independent public accountants, and are included in reliance upon the authority of said firms as experts in giving said reports. Prior to the date of this prospectus, Arthur Andersen was indicted in connection with its rendering of services to another company. Therefore, Arthur Andersen withdrew from practice before the SEC effective prior to the date hereof and many of the accountants at Arthur Andersen have left their current

jobs or have been searching for a new place of employment. Based on these factors, after reasonable efforts, including numerous phone calls, we were unable to contact our former audit partner at Arthur Andersen and therefore were unable to obtain Arthur Andersen’s consent to the inclusion of their report dated October 12, 2001. Accordingly, we have dispensed with the requirement to file their consent in reliance upon Rule 437a of the securities act. Because Arthur Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of their report in this prospectus, you will not be able to recover against Arthur Andersen under Section 11 of the securities act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated therein. As of June 30, 2003, Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC, owns approximately 417,600 shares of common stock directly and indirectly; options to purchase 245,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 315,800 shares of common stock, of which of such shares are being registered pursuant to this prospectus. All of such securities owned by Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC, other than 146,800 shares of common stock which it has acquired on the open market subsequent to April 2001, were issued to Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC in consideration for non-audit consulting services and/or satisfaction of payables related to non-audit consulting services and were issued after Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC was no longer our independent public accountants.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

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, 2003 and June 30, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), cash flows and Schedule II (Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, Item 14B) for two years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s 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, 1999, 2000, 2001. Such amounts are included in the cumulative from inception to June 30, 2003 totals of the statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows and reflect total net loss of 83 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, 2001, 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 and the report of other auditors 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 financial position of mPhase Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2002 and for the period from inception to June 30, 2002, 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 stockholders deficit position that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s 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 Company’s 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.

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 financial position of mPhase Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001 and for the period from inception to June 30, 2001, 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. Management’s 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.

mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2003

1. Organization and Nature of Business

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (“mPhase or the “Company”) was organized on October 2, 1996. The primary business of mPhase is to design, develop, manufacture and market high-bandwidth telecommunications products incorporating digital subscriber line (“DSL”) technology. The present activities of the Company are focused on the deployment of its proprietary Traverser™ System, which delivers MPEG2, non-Internet Protocol-based television, high-speed Internet and voice over copper wire. Additionally, the Company sells a line of DSL component products.

On February 17, 1997, mPhase acquired Tecma Laboratories, Inc., (“Tecma”) in a transaction accounted for as a reverse merger.

On June 25, 1998, the Company acquired Microphase Telecommunications, Inc. (“MicroTel”) a Delaware corporation, through the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of MicroTel (Note 4). The assets acquired in this acquisition were patents and patent applications utilized in the Company’s proprietary Traverser™ Digital Video and Data Deliver System (“Traverser™”).

On August 21, 1998, the Company incorporated a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary called mPhaseTV.net, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to market interactive television and e-commerce revenue opportunities. This subsidiary is dissolved.

On March 2, 2000 the Company acquired a 50% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net, Inc., an incorporated joint venture with AlphaStar International, Inc. (Note 8). The Company acquired an additional interest in the joint venture of 6.5% in April of 2000 for $20,000. Based on its controlling interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net, the operating results of mPhaseTelevision.Net are included in the consolidated results of the Company since March 2, 2000.

The Company is in the development stage and its present activities are focused on the commercial deployment of its legacy Traverser™ DVDDS and TV+ products for delivery of broadcast television over ADSL and associated DSL component products which include POTS splitters and a line of intelligent POTS splitter products. Since mPhase is in the development stage, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as typical for normal operating periods.

2. Losses During the Development Stage and Management’s Plans

Through June 30, 2003, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling $108,016,497, and at June 30, 2003 had a stockholders’ deficit of $3,228,886. At June 30, 2003, the Company had $396,860 of cash, cash equivalents and $287,135 of trade receivables to fund short-term working capital requirements.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of 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 2004 and continue its development and commercialization efforts. Management’s plans in this regard include, but are not limited to, the following:

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company converted certain payables and accrued expenses with officers, related parties and strategic vendors aggregating approximately $1.9 million into 5,923,333 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and 5 year warrants to purchase an additional 3,706,800 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.

In addition, in October of 2002, GTRC, a Company research and development vendor, executed a Memorandum of Intention to convert a total of approximately $1.8 million in payables to promissory notes and equity.

Management estimates that the Company will need additional minimum capital of $2.0 million by June 30, 2004 to continue its operations either through revenues from sales, external independent or related party funding, further expense reductions or some combination thereof. The Company presently has ongoing discussions and negotiations with a number of additional financing alternatives, one or more of which it believes will be able to successfully close to provide necessary working capital, while maintaining sensitivity to shareholder dilution issues. However, the Company has no definitive agreements to provide funding at this time.

In addition to the above financing activities, the following business initiatives are also ongoing and are expected to provide additional working capital to the Company.

The Company is currently negotiating with several organizations for the commencement of field trials which would lead to commercial sales of its broadcast television platform products. The Company has had an upturn in sales of its POTS splitter products since the close of its fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, including sales to one customer of approximately $1.6 million through August 21, 2003.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to complete the Company’s development stage through the commercial roll-out of its broadcast television platforms will be successful. 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 financial statements does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

mPhase considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Stock Based Compensation

Financial Accounting Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has adopted the “disclosure only” alternative described in SFAS 123 and SFAS 148, which require pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of accounting had been applied.

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.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments principally consist of highly-liquid shares of corporate securities. The Company classifies all these short-term investments as available-for-sale securities. These securities are included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any decline in market value judged to be other than temporary is recognized in determining net income. Realized gains and losses from the sale of these investments are included in determining net income (loss).

Revenue Recognition

All revenue included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented relates to sales of mPhase’s POTS Splitter Shelves and DSL component products.

As required, mPhase has adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “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 for its POTS Splitter Shelf and other DSL component products at the time of shipment, at which time, no other significant obligations of the Company exist, other than normal warranty support.

Shipping and Handling Charges

The Company includes costs of shipping and handling billed to customers in revenue and the related expense of shipping and handling costs is included in cost of sales.

Business Concentrations and Credit Risk

To date the Company’s products have been sold to a limited number of customers, primarily in the telecommunications industry. The Company had revenues from two customers representing 64% and 19% of total revenues during the year ended June 30, 2001. The Company had revenues from two customers representing 39% and 21% of total revenues during the year ended June 30, 2002. The Company had revenue from two customers of 31% and 25% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

In addition to net loss, comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. Generally items of comprehensive income include foreign currency exchanges and unrealized gains and losses on investments classified as available for sale.

In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes rules for the Reporting of Comprehensive Income and its components. For the year ended June 30, 2001, there was no difference between the Company’s net income and comprehensive income. For the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 the items of comprehensive income include unrealized gains and losses on investments the Company had classified as available for sale.

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 $460,121, $471,629 and $468,495 for the years ended June 30, 2001, 2002, and 2003, respectively.

Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS Nos. 141 and 142. SFAS 142 eliminates amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets, but requires annual testing for impairment (comparison of fair market value to carrying value). Fair value is estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows and other measures. The transitional impairment test for the Company’s patents and license rights resulted in the Company concluding that no impairment in addition to amortization previously recorded was necessary during the year ended June 30, 2003, however, the Company will continue its amortization policy of five years.

    $ 3,342,716   $ 2,103,328  
   

 

 
 
Long-lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” the Company reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such changes in circumstances may include, among other factors, a significant change in technology that may render an asset or an asset group obsolete or noncompetitive, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, evidence of a physical defect in an asset or asset group or an operating loss.

If changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, then the Company estimates the fair value based on the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition, and would record an impairment loss (equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset) if such estimated cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. Fair value would be determined, if necessary, based on an outside appraisal.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for mPhase’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for mPhase’s notes payable, long-term debt, amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values as they represent the amounts the Company expects to liquidate these obligations with cash or cash equivalents, and the amounts recorded as other liabilities and other liabilities—related parties approximate their fair values as they represent the amounts in which the Company expects to satisfy these obligations by the issuance of the Company’s equity without material gain or loss.

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.

Warranty Reserve

The Company warrants that all equipment manufactured by it will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of one year from the date of shipment. Through June 30, 2003, substantially all sales by the Company have been from component telephone equipment parts, primarily the Company’s POTS Splitter Shelves. The Company’s’ actual experience for cost and expenses in connection with such warranties have been nominal and through June 30, 2003, an additional amount of $10,000 has been added to reserve for future warranty costs which the Company estimates aggregate $40,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and an amendment of that statement, SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers,” and SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” This statement amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate inconsistencies between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. Also, this statement amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 were effective for the Company on November 1, 2002 and provisions affecting SFAS No. 13 were effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This statement covers restructuring type activities beginning with plans initiated after December 31, 2002. Activities covered by this standard that are entered into after that date will be recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 146. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” which provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation as prescribed in SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Additionally, SFAS 148 required more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. The provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, with early application permitted in certain circumstances. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions in our consolidated financial statements as disclosed above under Stock Based Compensation.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and adoption of the disclosure requirements are effective for the

Company during the first quarter ending January 31, 2003. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

4. Acquisition of Microtel

In June 1998, mPhase issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of MicroTel, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microphase, Inc. (“Microphase”). The transaction was accounted for as a purchase pursuant to APB Opinion No. 16 “Accounting for Business Combinations”. The total purchase price of approximately $1,870,000, which was based on the fair market value of the shares issued, was allocated to the patents acquired and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of five years. Pursuant to the agreement of merger, MicroTel has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of mPhase.

5. Note Receivable

As consideration for a letter of settlement with a former consultant of mPhase, the Company had loaned the former consultant $250,000 in the form of a Note (the “Note”) secured by 75,000 shares of the former consultants common stock of mPhase. The Note was due April 7, 2001. The Company decreased the Note to $37,500, representing the estimated value of the underlying stock at June 30, 2001. The Company charged $212,500 to administrative expense as a result of this impairment. The Company had included the $37,500 in long-term assets for the year ended June 30, 2001. The Company decreased the Note to $17,250, representing the estimated value of the underlying stock at June 30, 2002. The Company charged $20,250 to administrative expenses as a result of the further impairment of the underlying stock value at June 30, 2002 and has maintained the same balance for the Note throughout the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The Company has included the $17,250 in long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2003.

8. Joint Venture

In March 2000, mPhase acquired a 50% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net (formerly Telco Television Network, Inc.), an incorporated joint venture, for $20,000. The agreement provided for the grant of warrants to the joint venture partner, in consideration of the execution of the Joint Venture Agreement, to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $4.00 per share (valued at $2,633,400). This non-cash charge was included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2000. The fair value of the warrants granted to the joint venture partner as of the date of grant was based on the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model, using the following weighted average assumptions: annual expected rate of return of 0%, annual volatility of 115%, risk free interest rate of 5.85% and an expected option life of 3 years.

The agreement stipulated for mPhase’s joint venture partner, AlphaStar International, Inc., (“Alphastar”), to provide mPhaseTelevision.Net right of first transmission for its transmissions of MPEG-2 digital satellite television. In addition, in March 2000, mPhase loaned the joint venture $1,000,000 at 8% interest per annum. The loan is repayable to the Company from equity infusions to the subsidiary, no later than such time that mPhaseTelevision.Net qualifies for a NASDAQ Small Cap Market Listing. During April 2000, the Company acquired an additional 6.5% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net for $1,500,000.

As of June 30, 2003 mPhase owns a 56.5% interest in mPhaseTelevision.net. The Company terminated the lease of the earth station for business reasons, and there was no material impact on mPhaseTelevision.net’s operating activities.

Pursuant to an agreement dated as of June 18, 2002, mPhaseTelevision.Net has terminated its lease of the earth station and Alphastar and its affiliated entity have converted certain accounts payable into shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, under this Agreement, mPhase is obligated to pay Alphastar and

10. Stockholders’ Equity — (Continued)

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company converted certain payables and accrued expenses with officers, related parties and strategic vendors aggregating approximately $1.9 million into 5,923,333 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and 5 year warrants to purchase an additional 3,706,800 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended June 30, 2003, these included transactions with related parties whereby the Company and the counter parties respective board of director’s approved, entering into an agreement in principle with the Company’s officers and affiliates, including Janifast Ltd. and Microphase Corporation, to convert up to an amount equal to accounts payable through September 30, 2002. Such approval was received by the respective boards of directors authorizing conversions of such payables effective September 30, 2002 resulting in 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 Company’s common stock on the effective issue date of the conversion. Additionally, in March 2003, Microphase converted $300,000 of liabilities into 1,000,000 shares and 5 year warrants to purchase at $.30 a share 1,000,000 shares of mPhase common stock based upon the same terms as a concurrent private placement. Also included in such conversions during the year ended June, 30 2003, were transactions whereby the Company converted $513,756 of liabilities due to the Company’s president, vice president and 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 Company’s common stock. The aggregate value of such warrants was estimated using the Black Scholes options pricing model, pursuant to EITF 96-18, having an approximate value of $.21 per share, or $525,962. The Company recorded a settlement expense of approximately $12,206 with respect to these three related individuals, which, when combined with all conversions for the fiscal year 2003, resulted in a net gain on extinguishments in the statements of operations of $61,226 for the year ended June 30, 2003.

The Company has no commitments from affiliates or related parties to provide additional financings. The Company has, from time to time, been able to obtain financings from affiliates when conditions in the capital markets make third party financing difficult to obtain or when external financing is available only upon very unattractive terms to the Company, and when such capital has been available from the affiliates.

Stock Incentive Plans

On August 15, 1997, mPhase established its Long Term Stock Incentive Plan. Included as part of the Long Term Stock Incentive Plan, is the Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), in which incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Company. On February 23, 2000 the Board of Directors proposed and on May 22, 2000 the stockholders approved an increase in the total shares eligible under this plan to 15,000,000 shares. Vesting terms of the options range from immediately to two years and generally expire in five years.

On May 30, 2001, mPhase established the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”), in which incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The total shares eligible under the 2001 Plan is 20,000,000 shares, in addition to the shares previously authorized for issuance under the prior plan. Vesting terms of the options range from immediately to two years and options generally expire in five years. The maximum number of shares that may be granted during any one fiscal year to any one individual under the 2001 Plan is limited to 2,500,000 shares.

A summary of the stock option activity for the years ended June 30, 2001, 2002, 2003 pursuant to the terms of both plans, which include incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, is set forth on the below:

    Number of

Exercisable at June 30, 2003
    17,092,006   $ 1.28  
   

 

 

The fair value of options granted in 2001 and 2002 and options and compensatory warrants granted in 2003 was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: annual expected return of 0%, annual volatility of 113% in 2001, 125.4% in 2002 and 144.4% in 2003 based upon a risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.4% to 5.8% and expected option life of 3 years.

The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2001, 2002 and 2003 was $1.16, $.26, and $.21, respectively. The per share weighted average remaining life of the options outstanding at June 30, 2001, 2002, and 2003 is 3.66, 3.29 and 2.80 years, respectively.

mPhase has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options and certain compensating warrants granted to employees at fair market value.

On July 26, 1999, pursuant to the warrant agreement these 400,000 warrants were converted into 352,239 shares of common stock. In accordance with the warrant agreement, the warrant holder had the right to initiate a cashless exercise to convert the warrants into shares of common stock in lieu of exchanging cash. The number of shares received was determined by dividing the aggregate fair market value of the shares minus the aggregate exercise price of the warrants by the fair market value of one share.

In September 1998, mPhase issued 6,666 warrants for services, each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants expire five years from the date of grant. The Company determined the fair market value of the warrants issued under the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to be $16,302. This amount is included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as of June 30, 1999.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any Director, officer, employee or agent of ours to the full extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporations Act.

Under Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, we have the power to indemnify any person, against his expenses and liabilities in connection with any proceeding, whether civil or criminal, who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent, provided that such person acted in good faith and with reasonable business prudence. Should the proceeding involve criminal liability, the Director, officer, employee or agent shall be indemnified if he reasonably believed that his conduct was not unlawful. Should the Director, officer, employee or agent be liable to us, indemnification shall not be provided unless the court in such proceeding determines that, in light of all surrounding circumstances of the case, such Director, officer, employee or agent is reasonably entitled to expenses as the court deems proper. Additionally, we shall indemnify any Director, officer, employee or agent against expenses should such Director, officer, employee or agent be successful on the merits in any proceeding referred to in this paragraph.

Our determination as to whether the Director, officer, employee or agent should be indemnified shall be made:

  (i)
by way of a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors who were not parties to or otherwise involved in the proceeding;
     
  (ii)
or if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable and directed by such quorum or by a majority vote of the disinterested Directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
     
  (iii)
by our stockholders if directed by a resolution of the Board of Directors or of the stockholders.

We shall not indemnify any Director, officer, employee or agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions (a) were in breach of his duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders, (b) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law, or (c) resulted in receipt by the Director, officer, employee or agent of an improper personal benefit.

We may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of ours, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such corporate agent against expenses and liabilities under the provisions of Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act.

Item 17. Undertakings.
     
  (a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
       
    (1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
         
      (i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
         
      (ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,

individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee” table in this Registration Statement;
         
      (iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

    (2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
       
    (3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
       
    (4)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of each issue.
