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 March 31, 2007 the Company had incurred (unaudited) development stage losses of $162,520,429 and a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $2,634,400. Cumulatively, through June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2007, (unaudited) the Company had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $67,257,660 and $73,398,128 respectively. The auditors report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 is qualified as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management estimates the Company either directly or through its newly formed operating subsidiaries (see page 5) needs to raise between $5 million and $10 million 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 17 thousand shareholders and approximately 388,000,000 million shares of common stock outstanding as of  June 29, 2007. 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 New York, N.Y. 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 over 50 years and supports mPhase with engineering, administrative and financial resources, as needed.

mPhase is a developer and seller of broadband communications products for telephone service providers.  The Company’s TV+ solution is the middleware/software necessary for the delivery by telephone service providers of broadcast quality television, video on demand, high speed internet and voice utilizing internet protocol (IPTV). mPhase believes that its IPTV solution  is the most cost-effective, standards based, scalable solution with carrier class quality and security available for telecommunications service providers around the world. mPhase believes that telecommunication service providers will find the cost-effective, scalable architecture of the TV+ middleware will result in significant cost savings in the number of servers and routers necessary  to deploy IPTV to its customers on a significant scale. This is especially true for telephone service providers outside of the United States that face substantial hardware costs to upgrade their existing backbone and infrastructure necessary for the delivery of broadcast television.  Since such hardware costs constitute up to 95% of the capital expenditures in deploying IPTV, the savings are often a key financial ingredient enabling a telecommunications service provider to deploy IPTV. Thus the Company believes its software can be a compelling solution for such deployments. The deployment of a full range of converged broadband services is critical for many telecommunications service providers to retain traditional telephone customers by offering a full package of services.  Our TV+ solution enables a telephone service provider to provided a “triple play” of voice, broadcast television and high speed internet over any existing infrastructure including copper, fiber or coax. Our current release of the TV+ solution is a culmination of years of development of a world-class television delivery solution for telecommunication service providers.

Our TV+ solution is currently part of a test deployment of IPTV by Comstar/Odessa, a major telecommunications service provider in the Ukraine. The Company faces significant technical and financial challenges in order to achieve the successful completion of acceptance testing criteria. However, upon  the TV+ solution successfully meeting the technical and features criteria of the acceptance test  Comstar/Odessa has indicated that it will  commence deployment of IPTV to 6,000 customers. Such a deployment would, constitute the first major deployment of its TV+solution and could constitute a significant breakthrough for additional deployments of its IPTV solution in the Ukraine and Russia. The Company has also recently established a significant reseller relationship with Net Dialogue, a major integrator and reseller of telecommunications products and services for several large telephone service providers in Russia.

Since our inception in 1996 we have been a development-stage company. During the past three years, mPhase has transformed itself from a developer of closed end proprietary technology for the delivery of broadcast television over DSL to a Company that has developed a carrier class middleware/software solution for the delivery of IPTV. mPhase’s IPTV solution is designed for operation with any transport mechanism using IP protocol including multicast routers, digital subscriber line access multiplexers and set top boxes of all major vendors.

In February of 2004, the Company entered into the field of nanotechnology research and development of micro power cell batteries of various voltages. The purpose of this initiative is consistent with the Company’s strategy of establishing a product portfolio of cutting edge, innovative high technology products for new and emerging areas of high growth. The initial goal is to develop batteries for military applications having significantly longer shelf life prior to activation. The batteries would have instant on capabilities due to their extremely small internal size, and power management capabilities to significantly extend their duty cycle periods than are currently available in the market. The Company believes that such development is consistent with its strategy of being a pioneer in areas of high growth technology and potentially diversifies its mix of products. In March of 2005, the Company announced that it had expanded its nanotechnology research and efforts to develop extremely sensitive uncooled magnetic sensors, commonly known as a magnetometer, as a new product line.

4


On April 17, 2007, the Company announced that it had formed AlwaysReady, Inc., a New Jersey Corporation, as a new wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company plans to transfer all of its nanotechnology assets and appropriate liabilities to such company as a first step in the separation of its nanotechnology product line from its IPTV product. The Company plans to staff AlwaysReady, Inc with a new management team experienced in the nanotechnology area in order to unlock and maximize overall shareholder value. On May 29, 2007, AlwaysReady, Inc announced the hiring of Source Capital Group, an investment banking firm specializing in the raising of private equity, to raise a minimum of $1.5 million in a Private Placement in which the Company would sell up to a 10% interest in AlwaysReady, Inc to institutional and accredited investors. In addition the Company announced that it planned to eventually transform AlwaysReady, Inc. into a publicly traded company. mPhase plans to retain a 90% interest in Always Ready, Inc. and the shares of common stock of Always Ready, Inc. will be registered on appropriate filings with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as well as the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and listed for trading on the over the counter bulletin board.

On June 20, 2007, the Company announced that it is forming a new subsidiary, Granita Media, Inc (“Granita”), a Delaware corporation, that will provide targeted advertising to users of the TV+ middleware solution. Through the use of specific viewer demographics such as age, gender and defined consumer preferences, the Company believes that a new form of broadcast television advertising could develop that is more powerful and focused than is currently being used by broadcasters. It is believed that targeted  advertising software to be developed by Granita will enhance mPhase’s middleware by offering a source of additional revenues for a telephone service provider deploying IPTV. mPhase plans to fund the new company initially through up to $500,000 of equity to be provided by employees and additional outside institutional financing which will involve the sale of up to 10% of the common stock of Granita with mPhase retaining 90% of the stock of Granita.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the common stock offered by this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information in this prospectus and any supplements to this prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment decision.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

In addition to the Risk Factors set forth below it is important for you to consider the following:

mPhase was advised in April 2002 that following an investigation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the staff intended to recommend that the Commission file a civil injunctive action against Packetport.com, Inc. (“Packetport”) and its Officer’s and Directors. Such recommendation related to alleged civil violations by Packetport and such Officers and Directors of various sections of the Federal Securities Laws. The staff has alleged civil violations of Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 13(d) of the Securities Exchanges Act of 1934. As noted in other public filings of mPhase, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of mPhase also serve as Directors and Officers of Packetport. At that time these persons advised mPhase that they deny any violation of law on their part and intend to vigorously contest such recommendation or action, if any.

On November 15, 2005, the Commission filed a civil enforcement action against 6 individuals and 4 companies as a result of its investigation in federal district court in the State of Connecticut alleging various violations of the Securities Act of 1933 including Sections 5, Section 17(a) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 including Sections 10b, Rule 10b-5, Sections, 12,Section 13, Section 16 in connection with the purchase and sale of stock of Packetport in the period on or about December 14, 1999 into February of 2000. The defendants include the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of mPase as well as Microphase Corporation, a privately held Connecticut corporation that shares common management with mPhase. mPhase Technologies, Inc. is not named as a party in the enforcement action. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of mPhase, and Microphase Corporation, each deny any violation of the law by each or any of them and intend to vigorously contest all charges set forth in such enforcement action by the Commission.

In a ruling (3:05 CV 1747 (PCD)), dated March 21, 2007, the Honorable Peter C. Dorsey, Senior U.S. District Court Judge for the United States District Court  For The District Of Connecticut, granted a motion by defendants, Ronald A. Durando and Packetport Inc. joined by defendants Gustave T. Dotoli , Microphase Corporation and Packetport.com, Inc. to dismiss under Federal Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure the civil lawsuit filed on November 15, 2005 by the Securities and Exchange Commission against Packetport.com, Inc. et. al for lack of prosecution.

On April 4, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a motion with the United States District Court requesting a reconsideration of the motion to dismiss granted by the Court  in favor of the defendants.

In a ruling dated May 23, 2007, the Judge Peter C. Dorsey granted the motion for reconsideration filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and reversed his earlier ruling of March 21, 2007 and reinstated the case on the judicial calendar to proceed to trial.

Risks Related to Financial Aspects of Our Business

The Company engages in the new and emerging business of developing products using the science of Nanotechnology which entails significant exploratory development and commercial risk.

The Company has expended over $3.6 million from February of 2004 through the date hereof pursuant to 12 month contracts with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. during such period to develop longer life battery cells for military applications as well as commercial applications such as RFID (Radio Fequency Identification) tags. The Company expects to continue exploratory research with Lucent Technologies, Inc. and is currently in negotiations for an extension of such contract for  an additional 12 months at the rate of $100,000 per month . Even though a feasibility prototype product has been successfully developed, pure research involves a high degree of risk with significant uncertainty as to whether a commercially viable product will result

From March 10, 2005 through the date hereof, the Company has spent over $2.4 million with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc for new research and development of uncooled magnetic ultra sensors using the science of Nanotechnology.  The Company is currently negotiating to extend its Development Agreement with Bell Labs for the Magnetometer research for another 12 months through June of 2008 at $100,000 per month each. The Company does not expect significant revenues from either product for at least 2 years.

mPhase’s stock price has suffered significant declines during the past seven years and remains volatile .

The market price of our common stock closed at $7.88 on July 26, 2000 and closed at $.095 on June 29, 2007. During such period the number of shares outstanding of the Company increased from approximately 30 million shares to 388 million shares. Such increase was the result of periodic private placements by the Company in order to finance company operations. Stocks in telecommunications equipment providers of DSL products have been very volatile during such period. Our common stock is a highly speculative investment and is suitable only for such investors with financial resources that enable them to sustain the loss of their entire investment in such stock. Because the price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and is not traded on the NASDAQ National or NASDAQ Small Cap exchanges, it is considered to be a “penny stock” limiting the type of customers that broker/dealers can sell to. Such customers consist only of “established customers” and “Accredited Investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended-generally individuals and entities of substantial net worth) thereby limiting the liquidity of our common stock.

We have reported net losses for each of our fiscal years from our inception in 1996 and for the nine months (unaudited) ended March 31, 2007 respectively and may not be able to operate profitability in the future.

We have had substantial losses since our inception in 1996 (including $24,450,650 and $11,234,324 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and  June 30, 2005, respectively and (unaudited) $11,060,372 and $19,004,252 for the nine month period ending March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 respectively) and cannot be certain when or if we will ever be profitable. We expect to continue to have net losses for the foreseeable future and have a need to raise not less than $5-10 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 March 31, 2007 (unaudited) and we have incurred (a) accumulated losses of $162,520,429 and a stockholder’s deficit of $2,634,400 and (b) cumulative negative operating cash flow of $73,398,128 and negative working capital of $3,011,440.

Our independent auditor’s report express doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern .

The reports of the Company’s outside auditors’ Rosenberg, Rich, Baker, Berman & Company with respect to its latest audited 10K for the fiscal years ended   June 30, 2006, 2005, 2004, June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 stated that there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Such opinion from our outside auditors makes it significantly more difficult and expensive for the Company to raise additional capital necessary to continue our operations.

 Our common stock is subject to significant dilution upon issuance of shares we have reserved issuance.

As of June 29, 2007, we have warrants, options outstanding convertible into approximately 215 million total shares of mPhase common stock which, upon conversion, may adversely affect the future price of our common stock. As of June 29, 2007 we have warrants and options convertible into approximately 112 million shares of our common stock at $.20 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. 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.

Risks Related to Our Operations

We have been a development-stage company since our inception in 1996 and have not to date had a significant or successful deployment of any of our solutions for the delivery of broadcast television, high-speed internet and voice by a major telephone service provider.

We have had to date no material revenues derived from sales of our TV+ solution. There has been to date only one sale of our IPTV solution for 1000 customers of a telecommunications service provider in Russia which has discontinued deployment of our TV+ solution. In addition a lab test trial by a major telecommunications service provider in the Ukraine currently faces significant financial and technical challenges in order to pass a technical acceptance test that requires many product features currently  still in development by the Company. There are no other deployments of  our TV+ Solution by telephone service providers globally and there currently is uncertainty as to the extent, if at all, that deployments of IPTV will occur in the future.

We depend upon outsourcing of our research and product development of our Nanotechnology products to the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies Inc.

We depend upon Lucent Technologies Inc. for the successful development of our Nanotechnology products and our business would be materially adversely affected if Lucent Technologies Inc. were to terminate our relationship or fail to renew our Development Agreement for the Magnetometer that is currently being negotiated.

The loss of key personnel could adversely affect our business.

 Management and employment contracts with all of our officers have expired and no assurances can be given that such executives will remain with the Company or that the Company will be able to successfully enter into agreements with such key executives. All of our officers and other key employees have been granted stock options that are intended to represent a key component of their compensation. Such options may not provide the intended incentives to such persons if our stock price declines or experiences significant volatility.

Risks Related to Our Targeted Markets

Economic support from affiliated companies has been significant.

 During the downturn in the telecommunications industry beginning in 2001, both Microphase Corporation, and Janifast Ltd. provided significant financial support to mPhase in the form of either cash infusions or conversions of related party debt. Such companies, which share common management with mPhase, are under no legal obligation to and may not be able to sustain such economic support of mPhase in the future should such support be necessary.

We may incur substantial expenditures in the future in order to protect our intellectual property.

 We have recently filed a provisional patent with respect to our TV+ solution in order to protect our product, however a final patent has not yet been applied for or granted. Even if a patent is ultimately granted ,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.

Historically the sale of infrastructure products to telecommunication providers in the international markets has a long lead-time and a multiplicity of risks.

  We expect initially that revenues from our TV+ solution to be derived from international emerging markets and our success depends upon our ability to sell our flagship television platform outside of the United States where political, currency and regulatory risks are significantly greater. As a result of their distance from the United States, different time zones, culture, management and language differences, these operations pose greater risk than selling in the United States. Our sales cycle for our TV + solution is lengthy (since it involves a major strategic decision by an international telecommunications service provider) and we may incur significant marketing expenses with no guarantee of future sales. A significant market for our legacy Traverser DVDDS never developed and may never develop for our TV +solution if international telephone service providers fail to successfully deploy broadband services including high speed data and television.  Increased consolidation of telephone service providers worldwide have significantly limited  the current recovery of capital expenditures for broadband and other deployment from the economic downturn that began in 2001in the industry. Future market demand that will cause telephone service providers to aggressively roll out IPTV, in general, is highly unpredictable especially in markets outside of the United States. Certain telephone companies (especially in developing international economies) may have infrastructure that is not of sufficient quality to accommodate the mPhaseTV+ solution. Changes in foreign taxes and import duties and economic and political instability in international markets pose a greater risk to our operations than U.S. markets.

Our television platform may not achieve compliance with regulatory requirements in foreign countries.

 Our mPhaseTV+ solution may fail to meet foreign regulatory standards. Since initially we are  targeting markets for our television platform involves countries outside of the United States, such product is subject to greater regulatory risks since it must comply with different standards of different countries than can vary widely in the telecommunications industry. The failure to meet such regulatory standards would result in potential customers in countries outside of the United States not deploying of our TV+ solution.

The telecommunications industry is subject to intense competition characterized by swift changes in technology.

The telecommunications equipment industry is subject to swift and continuing innovation and technological changes that could render our TV+ solution obsolete and intense competition in the industry could prevent our ever becoming profitable. Our competitors that sell IPTV solutions that compete with and mPhase TV+ middleware include much larger and better known and capitalized companies with significantly greater selling and marketing experience and financial resources. Such competitors include for middleware a joint venture between Microsoft and Alcatel, as well as Minverva, Orca Interactive, Siemens, VBrick Systems and Video Furnance. End to end solutions competitors for IPTV include UTStarcom, mxWare and Industrial. 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 TV+ product.

Deployment of our television platform requires significant additional investments by telecommunications service providers.

 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 TV+ solution. For customers desiring feature rich solutions such as video on demand, the installation of additional routers and servers may be required to upgrade the internet backbone capabilities of such customer. Such additional capital costs may cause a number of potential customers not to deploy our TV+ solution.

10


Risk Factors Related to Our Targeted Markets

We may not be able to evolve our technology, products and services or develop new technology, products and services that are acceptable to our customers .

The market for our IPTV middleware is characterized by:
Rapid technology change;
New and improved product introductions;
Changing customer demands; and
Evolving industry standards and product obsolescence.

Our future success will depend upon our ability to continually enhance our IPTV solution to deliver feature rich, open standards, carrier class television on the most scaleable cost efficient platform custom tailored to the rigorous and varied demands of telecommunications service providers. The development of enhanced and new technology, products and services is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, highly-skilled engineering and development personnel, and the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We may not be able to identify, develop, market or support new or enhanced technology, products, or services on a timely basis, if at all owing to our size and limited financial resources.

Telecommunications service providers outside of the United States must be able to access sources for broadcast television content in order to deploy our TV+ Solution.

In order to have an incentive to deploy the IPTV solution, an international telecommunications service provider must have access, to multiple channels of Television programming from content providers at prices that enable such provider to earn a profit from the deployment of television programming. In certain of our key target markets, such as Brazil, only cable companies are permitted under current law to provide such content and therefore a local service provider must establish a working relationship with such a cable provider to have an incentive to utilize our products. 

USE OF PROCEEDS

The selling stockholders will receive the proceeds from the resale of the shares of common stock. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive approximately $47 million if all of the warrants and options are converted to purchase shares of common stock registered under this prospectus which would be used for general working capital.

   Description of Operations

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (“mPhase” or the “Company”) is a development stage technology company. The Company is a developer and seller of broadband communications products for telephone service providers. The Company’s TV+ solution is an open-standards, carrier class solution of middleware/software enabling telephone service providers to deliver broadcast television using internet protocol (IPTV), video on demand, voice and high-speed internet over such providers existing infrastructure. The Company also provides systems integration solutions for delivery of broadcast television (IPTV), video on demand, high-speed internet and voice using internet protocol over the existing infrastructure of a telephone service provider. The Company’s TV+ solution is highly scalable (compared to other middleware requires less routers and servers) with significant cost savings and  is reliable middleware designed to operate with any IP based network. In addition the Company designs, manufacturers and sells DSL component products including its new customer premises VDSL splitter. In fiscal year 2004, the Company entered into the field of nanotechnology research and development of micro power cell batteries of various voltages. In 2005, the Company expanded its products in the field of nanotechnology research and development into electronic sensors or magnetometers using micro electrical mechanical systems.

IPTV and TV+ Solutions

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 voice 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) and is one of the first systems of its kind developed. The system is the only system on the market that utilizes non- Internet Protocol (“IP”) transmission over ADSL.  The legacy DVDDS platform has been replaced by the Company’s TV+ solution. 

Our current TV+ solution, utilizes a communications framework based upon Internet Protocol (IP) instead of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) that is utilized by earlier versions of the product. ATM is an industry standard for transportation of data based upon a packaging of information into a fixed-size cell format for transportation across networks. Many telecommunications service providers currently deploy equipment that handles this protocol because it can support voice, video, data and multimedia applications simultaneously with a high degree of reliability. IP is another transport protocol that maintains network information and routes packets across networks. IP packets are larger and can hold more data than ATM cells. Historically, there have been concerns that service providers would be unable to provide the same quality of service with IP because it is not optimized for time-sensitive signals such as broadcast television and voice. Nevertheless, there is a greater demand by telecommunication service providers for IP systems for delivery of television, voice and high-speed data because such systems are significantly more cost effective to deploy based upon greater scalability.

 Our TV+ solution is an open standards-based carrier class technology that may be used over any infrastructure such as fiber, coax, or copper. The TV+ solution may be used in combination with the set top box of any vendor and will operate with any DSLAM or multicast routers transport equipment used for delivery of IPTV.  We believe the system’s architecture is the most reliable and highly scalable solution available for IPTV. Our solution enables a telecommunications service provider to custom tailor the deployment of feature rich IP television, video on demand, high-speed internet and voice. The solution allows a service provider to start small and test its take rate among customers with a maximum of flexibility of design, features and cost allowing it to enter the market for converged services to its customers on an optimal basis.

mPhase DSL Component Products.

mPhase continues to design and market a line of DSL component products. mPhase is currently developing and marketing a new VDSL customer premises splitter designed to meet the current migration of deployments by telephone service providers from ADSL to VDSL.

 Nanotechnology

Effective February 3, 2004, mPhase entered into a Development Agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc. to commercialize the use of nano power cell technology. The initial agreement was for a 12 month period of exploratory development at the cost of $100,000 per month of a new form of power cell having a shelf life far in excess of conventional battery technology. In March of 2005 the Company extended such Agreement for another 12 months at the cost of $100,000 per month to continue development of the nano power cell product and the Company in currently negotiating with Lucent to extend the Agreement upon the same terms through March of 2006 and in May of 2006 extended such Agreement through February of 2007. We have extended such Agreement through April 27, 2007. We believe that this arrangement with the Bell Labs division of Lucent will give mPhase the opportunity to develop and offer breakthrough battery technology and other potential applications, initially to the government market for defense and homeland security and ultimately to the commercial market. It is anticipated that the initial applications for nano power cells will address the need to supply emergency and reserve power to a broad range of products for the defense department.

The Company believes that its entry into this new field of high technology growth will provide product diversification without negatively affecting its focus upon its traditional products aimed at delivery of Television over DSL. The Company developed a lab prototype of its first nano power cell product that was completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. The Company is unable, at this time, to predict when significant commercialization and material revenues will be derived from its entry into the NanoTechnology business.  

On March 10, 2005 the Company announced and agreement with the Bell Labs research and development arm of Lucent Technologies, Inc. to co develop using the science of nanotechnology and commercialize uncooled magnetic ultra-sensitive sensors for a host of defense and civilian applications. The agreement with Bell Labs is for a 12 month period at a cost of $100,000 per month to the Company and was renewed in May of 2006 through March of 2007 upon the same terms. The sensors, technically referred to as magnetometers, are based upon Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) using designs based upon fundamental breakthroughs made in the past few years at Bell Labs as part of the New Jersey Nanotechnology Consortium. Initial tests of theses MEMS magnetometers indicate sensitivities 1000 times those achieved in presently available uncooled magnetometers. Such devices are designed to create a new generation of  magnetometers suitable for navigation based applications as well as ultra sensitive magnetic field sensors that will enable military combatants to detect with greater accuracy and range hostile military forces. Commercial applications may include inexpensive navigational components for mobile phones to sensing devices for identification used in homeland security products, as well as sensors used in diagnostic systems for detection of metal fatigue for numerous industrial applications.

On June 8, 2007, the Company and Bell Labs extended at a cost of $100,000 per month for 12 months the Development Agreement with respect to the nano power cell technology that had expired on April 27 of 2007. The Company is currently in discussions with Bell Labs to renew for an additional twelve months the Development Agreement for the Magnetometer product that expired in March of 2007 on similar terms.

Nano Battery :

mPhase Technologies along with its partner Alcatel Lucent/Bell Labs has been jointly conducting research since February 2004 that demonstrates control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic surfaces to create power cells by controlling wetting behavior of electrolyte on nanostructured electrode surfaces. The scientific research conducted this year has set the groundwork for continued exploration in the development of intelligent nanotechnology power cells (nano-batteries), and forms a path to commercialization of the technology for a broad range of market opportunities. During the first half of calendar year 2005 the battery team has been testing modifications and enhancements to the internal design of the battery to optimize its power and energy density characteristics, as well as making engineering improvements that will assist in making the battery easier to manufacture when the project research that level of maturity. In the second half of calendar year 2005, the technical team has improved the robustness and manufacturability of the prototype battery by designing a porous membrane structure with honeycomb features. A successful demonstration of this working prototype battery using these new modifications was demonstrated in January of 2006 and subsequently highlighted in the February 2006 issue of Scientific American magazine.  

In June of 2005 the battery project was expanded to include a joint technical development effort through December 2005 between mPhase and Rutgers University to potentially incorporate a Lithium based design. This work program has initially started as a modest technology effort to help characterize and test the nano battery design using Lithium chemistry and determine if the current design is capable of supporting the lithium based chemistry. The Company continued its work with Rutgers University in 2006 where a number of important scientific tests were conducted. Based upon the results of these on going tests, the Company may decide to accelerate the work effort beyond its current level of funding.

Magnetomete r:

In February 2005 mPhase and Lucent Technologies’ Bell Laboratories entered into a joint effort to develop a family of magnetometer designs suitable for both low sensitivity applications, to extremely sensitive designs used for more complex applications.  Magnetometers can be used in a wide range of applications that include military surveillance, securing the retail environment, automotive sensors and actuators, industrial processing, medical imaging, scientific measurements, detection of mineral deposits and even air and space exploration. In sensor networks ultra-sensitive magnetometers can be used, for example, to detect and accurately pinpoint battlefield objects or they might also be used to study the workings of the human brain.

Magnetometers work by sensing changes in magnetic fields due to the motion of magnetic objects or changes in electrical currents generated by those objects. The magnetometer detects these objects by measuring time-varying magnetic signals that are superimposed on the combination of earth’s background field (used to orient compasses) and static magnetic fields due to nearby magnetic objects.

Highly Sensitive Magnetometers - The enhanced sensitivity of these devices results from two scientific advances recently made researchers at Alchaetel / Lucent Bell Labs. Presently, the highest sensitivity magnetometers commercially available require cooling to cryogenic temperatures. Called SQUIDs (for Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices) these devices only work at the temperature where liquid helium boils, -455 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, making such magnetometers expensive and bulky and therefore ill-suited for remote-sensing applications. Room temperature magnetometers, on the other hand, are less sensitive, and use technology that was developed in World War II for detecting submarines.

The new technology being developed by Bell Labs and mPhase employs a number of different designs based on Micro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). These designs use the very high “Quality Factor (Q)” of the mechanical resonance in single crystals of silicon. A resonance is similar to the fundamental frequency of a tuning fork. When tapped, a tuning fork will vibrate for a length of time inversely proportional to the internal friction of vibration within the metal of the tuning fork. A comparable tuning fork made from single crystal silicon, which has less internal friction than the hardest metal, will vibrate almost a thousand times longer. Based on this principal, a device employing a high Q resonator will have enhanced amplitude of vibration at the resonance frequency, and hence will display a greater sensitivity to external perturbations that affect its resonance frequency. By coupling the mechanical motion of a bar or a paddle constructed from silicon to the ambient magnetic field, this high mechanical sensitivity can be converted to high magnetic field sensitivity. The technical approach that the team is developing can be achieved either statically with an integrated magnetic film, or dynamically through motion of the silicon bar or paddle.

  The Benefits of MEMS - Commercial magnetometers using purely electronic detection, such as Hall, magneto-resistance or flux-gate devices, have sensitivities limited by their electronic Q-factor. This Q-factor depends on the natural electrical resistance, or electronic friction, of the metal in the circuit. For room-temperature operations it is therefore difficult to reduce the electrical Q-factor. Mechanical resonators made from semiconductor-grade silicon, on the other hand, exhibit mechanical Q-factors, approaching 100,000 at room temperature. These new, smaller and less costly magnetometers should be 100-1000 times more sensitive than existing commercial devices in terms of size and power consumption, thus enabling the creation of a new class of sensor systems that mPhase plans on commercializing.

The mPhase and Lucent magnetometer team has successfully reached an early milestone and have produced a number MEM based sensor samples from the clean room facilities and are working on integrating them into the surrounding electronic circuitry so that measurement, characterization and sensitivity testing can be conducted. We are currently able to achieve sensitivities at room temperature of better than .1 micro gauss per root hertz squared and with additional development the goal is improvement of at least one order of magnitude.

The Company is currently negotiating the extension through June of 2008 with Bell Labs of its Magnetometer Development Agreement and its Battery Development Agreement each at a cost of $100,000 per month.

NOTES ON OPERATIONS

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 IPTV to various telecommunications service providers and  the Company’s recent entry into the NanoTechnology business that is essentially exploratory research both with respect to the potential battery and magnetometer applications. Since the Company believes that there may be a significant international market for its TV+ IPTV solution 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. The Company is negotiating a  royalty on gross revenues received by Janifast Ltd. in connection with sales of the new VDSL customer premises splitter product.

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 TV + solution will consist primarily of payments to selected software vendors and developers for the development of custom features required by a particular purchaser of the IPTV middleware. Such major vendors include Espial Group and Magpie Telecom Insiders, Inc and systems integration by Velankani Systems. mPhase is currently negotiating a payment in shares of stock to Microphase in connection with the design of its new VDSL customer premises splitter product.

Research and development . Research and development expenses consist principally of the payments made to  Magpie Telecom Insiders, Inc., Espial, Bitband and Velankani , for development of the  TV+ IPTV solution and the Bell Labs division of Alcatel/Lucent for development of our nanotechnology products respectively. The IPTV+ solution consists primarily of middleware/software designed for the delivery of feature rich, carrier class, broadcast TV, high speed internet and voice by telecommunications service providers open using standards based equipment and transport configurations.  There are a number of potential military and commercial applications for our nanotechnology products. 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 TV+ solution for IPTV and  DSL component products including our new VDSL customer premises splitter, 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 charges . The Company makes extensive use of common stock grants, options and warrants as a form of compensation to employees, directors and outside consultants. We incurred non-cash compensation charges totaling $59,071,377 from inception (October 2, 1996) through June 30, 2006, of which $2,318,519 was included in research and development expenses and $56,752,858 was included in general and administrative expenses. We incurred non-cash compensation charges of $60,196,024 from inception (October 2, 1996) through March 31, 2007 (unaudited), of which $2,318,519 was included in research and development expenses and $58,319,301 was included in general and administrative expenses.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 VS. JUNE 30, 2005

Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 decreased to $975,482 from $1,711,085 for the year ended June 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased sales of the Company’s POTS Splitter product line caused by a downturn of orders from one customer that orders component products from the Company. The Company also recognized $280,000 of revenue in connection with the first sale of 1000 ports of Release 2.0 its TV+ solution to a major telecommunications service provider in Russia in fiscal year 2005 but received no additional orders for Version 3.0 of its TV+ solution in fiscal year 2006. The Company cannot predict when the demand for telecommunication equipment will resume, however we do expect certain added revenue in fiscal year 2007 from deployments of our TV+ solution.

Cost of revenues. Cost of sales was $974,583 for the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $1,446,151 in the year ended June 30, 2005. Cost of revenues decreased for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the prior period ending June 30, 2005 primarily because of decreased sales. Gross margins for the period ended June 30, 2006 were 1.0%. The gross margins have varied dramatically as spending among telecommunication providers has contracted, coupled with downward pressures related to the supply and demand of telecommunications products. The single most significant reason the margins decreased dramatically was due to the reduced selling price of our POTS Splitter product.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $8,034,964 for the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $5,127,438 in the year ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $2,907,526. Such expenditures included $4,384,749 incurred with Lucent Technologies, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $3,319,280 during the comparable period in 2005. In addition we incurred $2,346,875 with Microphase and other strategic vendors for the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $919,937 during the comparable period in 2005.

The significant increase in research and development expenses with Lucent Technologies, Inc. is due to the $1.2 million per month Development Agreement for the battery and power pack product utilizing nanotechnology. In addition, the Company has extended its research with Lucent Technologies related to the ultra electronic sensor devices for 12 months at a total cost of $1.2 million.

The elimination in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the Company’s refocus in development from its legacy Traverser DVDDS television delivery platform to its TV+ product.

Research expenditures incurred with Microphase sharply declined as the Company reexamined the viability of it Broadband Loop Watch product during the second half of fiscal year 2006. Expenditures that were incurred in fiscal year 2006 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 the Broadband Loop Watch.

General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11,121,235 for the year ended June 30, 2006 up from $6,579,761 for the comparable period in 2005, an increase of $4,541,474. 

 Included is an increase of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and options to consultants, and employees which totaled $6,276,423 for the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $3,336,064 during the comparable period in 2005. Other components of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were increases in payroll of approximately $128,000 to $1,603,000,  an increase in the use of outside consultants of approximately $399,000 to $1,103,000, marketing expenses such as trade shows of $104,000 to $372,000.

Other Income and Expense for the year ended June 30, 2006 reflects a non recurring charge of $5,530,504 for the value of shares issued to investors to reflect market changes in the common stock.

Net loss. mPhase recorded a net loss of $24,450,650 for the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to a loss of $11,234,324 for the same period ended June 30, 2005. This represents a loss per common share of  $(.12) in 2006 as compared to $(.10) in 2005, based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 199,610,372 and 108,657,578 during the periods ending June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 respectively.

22


NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 VS. MARCH 31, 2006

REVENUE

Total revenues were $135,743 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $832,999 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease was attributable primarily to the phasing out of the Company’s ADSL POTS Splitter line of products and its emphasis on developing a new VDSL customer premises POTS Splitter product to meet market advancements in technology.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales was $88,207 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $729,475 in the comparable prior period. The decrease is a direct result of the aforementioned phasing out of the POTS Splitter line of business.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses were $4,964,404 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $6,120,253 during the comparable period in 2006; or a decrease of $1,155,849. The Company incurred most of its research and development expenses with vendors including Lucent, Microphase, Magpie Insiders, Inc., Bitband, Espial, Velankani and other strategic vendors. In the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 such charges totaled approximately $4.4 million as compared to $5.3 million during the comparable period in 2006. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, expenses incurred to third party vendors amounted to $1.6 million and $2.8 million for services related to Nanotechnology and IPTV, respectively. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2006, expenses incurred to third party vendors amounted to $2.0 million and $3.3 million for services related to Nanotechnology and IPTV, respectively.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,012,073 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 down from $8,002,079 or an decrease of $2,990,006 from the comparable period in 2006. Included in selling, general and administrative costs are non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and options to employees and consultants, which totaled $1,124,647 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $4,510,350 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2006 resulting in a decrease of $3,385,703. This decrease was offset by increases in payroll related costs which increased by approximately $383,304, investor relations and marketing which increased by $130,115 and legal and professional which increased by approximately $296,456.

OTHER INCOME AND (EXPENSE)

Other Income and (Expense) amounted to net expense of $1,065,117 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to a net expense of $4,927,800 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily owing to reparation expense which declined from $5,167,740 in 2006 versus $1,202,730 in 2007.

NET LOSS

The Company recorded a net loss of $11,060,372 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to a loss of $19,004,252 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. This represents a loss per common share of $.04 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared to a loss per common share of $.09 for the nine months ending March 31, 2006; based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 309,018,261 and 211,186,500 during the periods ending March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Approximately $4.0 million of the decrease in the Company’s net loss was the result of reparation cost in connection with the reduction in the strike price of certain warrants and issuance of additional shares in connection with private placements.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 VS. JUNE 30, 2004

Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $1,711,085 from $4,641,346 for the year ended June 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased sales of the Company’s POTS Splitter product line especially during the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, caused by a downturn of orders from one customer that orders component products from the Company. The Company recognized $280,000 of revenue in connection with the first sale of 1000 ports of Release 2.0 its TV+ solution to a major telecommunications service provider in Russia. 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 significant part of DSL deployment. The Company cannot predict when the demand for telecommunication equipment will resume, however we do expect certain added revenue in fiscal year 2006 from the completion of Release 3.0 of our TV+ solution and Broadband Loop Watch Products.

23


Cost of revenues. Cost of sales was $1,446,151 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $4,068,255 in the year ended June 30, 2004. Cost of revenues decreased for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the prior period ending June 30, 2004 primarily because of decreased sales. Gross margins for the period ended June 30, 2005 were 15.5%. The gross margins have varied dramatically as spending among telecommunication providers has contracted, coupled with downward pressures related to the supply and demand of telecommunications products. The single most significant reason the margins decreased dramatically was due to the reduced selling price of our POTS Splitter product. Discounts, consisting of a 2% discount from the amount invoiced if paid within 10 days were offered during fiscal year 2005 .  Such discounts amounted to $1,447 for the period ended June 30, 2005, and were offered to Covad Communication our leading telecommunications service provider customer .  Discounts were offered in fiscal 2004 to Covad Communications amounting to 2% from the amount invoiced if paid within 10 days were offered to Covad Communications and amounted to $71,425.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $5,127,438 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $4,069,721 in the year ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1,057,717. Such expenditures included $3,319,280 incurred with Lucent Technologies, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $2,328,602 during the comparable period in 2004. In addition we incurred $919,937 with Microphase and other strategic vendors for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $99,494 during the comparable period in 2004.

 The significant increase in research and development expenses with Lucent Technologies, Inc. is due to the continued and accelerated development of the TV+ product together with the extension of the $1.2 million month Development Agreement for an additional 12 months related to the battery and power pack product development utilizing nanotechnology and the entering into a second one year $1.2 million Development Agreement with Lucent to develop magnetic sensor devices also using nanotechnology. Such expenditures may increase in fiscal year 2006 since the Company’s strategy is to further enhance the features and cost reduce its TV+ and expand its product line in the Nanotechnology area.

The elimination in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the Company’s refocus in development from its legacy Traverser DVDDS television delivery platform to its TV+ product.

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 Broadband Watch.

General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,579,761 for the year ended June 30, 2005 up from $4,177,961 for the comparable period in 2004, a decrease of $2,401,800.  The increase in the selling, general and administrative costs was primarily the result of the addition of a number of new employees critical to the Company’s needs in developing, marketing and selling the TV+ and NanoTechnology product lines with Lucent.

Included is an increase of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and options to consultants, which totaled $2,948,083 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1,242,793 during the comparable period in 2004. Other components of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were increases in payroll of approximately $503,000 to $1,456,000, increase in the use of outside consultants of approximately $284,000 to $704,002, marketing expenses such as trade shows of $118,000 to $158,000, and advertising expenses of $68,000 to $90,000.

Depreciation and amortization. Total depreciation for the year ended June 30, 2005 was $227,629 of which $218,911 was charged against research and development. In 2004, total depreciation for the year ended June 30, 2004 was $649,704 of which $613,221 was charged against research and development. As a result, depreciation and amortization expense was $62,679 for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to $122,878 for the year ended June 30, 2004. This decrease of depreciation and amortization expense totaled $60,199 is the result of reduced outlays for capital expenditures by the Company in its two most recent fiscal years. We expect to increase capital expenditures in connection with the deployment of equipment at test sites with various telecommunications service providers globally as deployment of our TV+ product progresses.

Net loss. mPhase recorded a net loss of $11,234,324 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to a loss of $7,758,586 for the same period ended June 30, 2004. This represents a loss per common share of  $(.10) in 2005 as compared to $(.10) in 2004, based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 108,657,578 and 77,677,120 during the periods ending June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 respectively.

24


TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 VS. JUNE 30, 2003

Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2004 increased to $4,641,346 from $1,581,639 for the year ended June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales of the Company’s POTS Splitter product line especially during the first quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, caused by an upturn in July and August of 2004 of orders from one customer that orders 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 significant part of DSL deployment. The Company cannot predict when the demand for telecommunication equipment will resume, however we do not expect significant sales in the first two quarters of fiscal 2005.

Cost of revenues. Cost of sales was $4,068,255 for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $1,493,394 in the year ended 30, 2003. Cost of revenues increased for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the prior period ending June 30, 2003 primarily because of increased sales. Gross margins for the period ended June 30, 2004 were 12%. The gross margins have varied dramatically as spending among telecommunication providers has contracted, coupled with downward pressures related to the supply and demand of telecommunications products. The single most significant reason the margins decreased dramatically was due to the reduced selling price of our POTS Splitter product. Discounts, consisting of a 2% discount from the amount invoiced if paid within 10 days were offered during fiscal year 2004 .  Such discounts amounted to $71,425 for the period ended June 30, 2004, and were offered to Covad Communication our leading telecommunications service provider customer .  Discounts were offered in fiscal 2003 to an existing customer to accelerate collections in connection with an order of our POTS Splitter product and was treated as a purchase discount to each of customers, and the reduction to net sales lowered the gross margins in the period.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $4,069,721 for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $3,538,305 in the year ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $531,416. Such expenditures included $2,328,602 incurred with Lucent Technologies, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $1,112,500 during the comparable period in 2003. In addition we incurred $99,494 with Microphase and other strategic vendors for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $528,434 during the comparable period in 2003.

The significant increase in research and development expenses with Lucent Technologies, Inc. is due to the continued and accelerated development of the TV+ product together with the entry into a $1.2 million 12 month Development Agreement for battery and power pack product development utilizing Nanotechnology. Such expenditures are expected to increase in fiscal year 2005 since the Company’s strategy is to further enhance the features and cost reduce its TV+ and expand its product line in the Nanotechnology area. The elimination in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the Company’s refocus in development from its legacy Traverser DVDDS television delivery platform to its TV+ product.  

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 iPOTS3.

General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,177,961 for the year ended June 30, 2004 up from $2,683,534 for the comparable period in 2003, an increase of $1,494,427. The increase in the selling, general and administrative costs was primarily the result of the addition of a number of new employees critical to the Company’s needs in developing, marketing and selling the TV+ and NanoTechnology product lines with Lucent.

Included is an increase of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and options to consultants, which totaled $1,242,793 for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $748,840 during the comparable period in 2003. Other components of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were increases in payroll of approximately $461,226 to $953,602, increase in the use of outside consultants of approximately $251,103 to $987,720, marketing expenses such as trade shows of $30,148 to $40,347, and advertising expenses of $20,439 to $21,948, all of which approximated $1,295,975 or 87% of the increase in spending.

Depreciation and amortization. Total depreciation for the year ended June 30, 2004 was $649,704 of which $613,221 was charged against research and development. In 2003, total depreciation for the year ended June 30, 2003 was $957, 457 of which $442, 040 was charged against research and development. As a result, depreciation and amortization expense was $122, 878 for the year ended June 30, 2004 compared to $515,417 for the year ended June 30 2003. This decrease of depreciation and amortization expense totaled $392,539 and is the result of reduced outlays for capital expenditures by the Company in its two most recent fiscal years. We expect to increase capital expenditures in connection with the deployment of equipment at test sites with various telecommunications service providers globally as deployment of our TV+ product progress.

Net loss. mPhase recorded a net loss of $7,758,586 for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to a loss of $6,650,211 for the same period ended June 30, 2003. This represents a loss per common share of $(.10) in 2004 as compared to $(.10) in 2003, based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 77,677,120 and 65,217,088 during the periods ending June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 respectively.

The Outlook for the Company’s Flagship Product

The Company believes significant deployments and resultant revenues of its  TV+  solution are not expected until the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, which, if accompanied by a material upturn in spending in the telephone industry, could lead to increased sales, improve the Company’s margins and provide the Company with the opportunity to become profitable.

  Research and Development Activities

 mPhase throughout its history has outsourced its research and development activity with respect to its IPTV solution as well as its POTS splitter products. GTARC conducted a significant amount of research and development for mPhase for the  DVDDS legacy product. Microphase has performed research and development for mPhase with respect to certain component DSL products including the Company’s current new VDSL customer premises splitter, low pass filters and POTS Splitters and the legacy DVDDS product.  mPhase  engaged Lucent for initial development of  its TV+ solution and for development of two new products using the science of nanotechnology. Currently mPhase has transferred development work for the TV systems software development from Lucent to Velankani and has also engaged Magpie Insiders, Inc and Espial as significant vendors in the development of its TV+ solution.  

For the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company spent $1,776,800 with Lucent Technologies, Inc. for its TV+ solution, compared to $1,584,800 for the period ended June 30, 2005. For the fiscal 2007, the Company has shifted its development work for the TV+ from Lucent Technologies, Inc. and Velankani Communications System, Inc. and has also engaged Magpie Insiders, Inc. and Espial for significant software development for the TV+ solution.

The Company expects to expand its research and development efforts with Lucent Technologies with respect to its NanoTechnology business segment. For fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $8,034,964, $5,127,438 and $4,069,721, respectively, of which $2,500,000, $1,500,000 and $500,000, respectively, related to its nanotechnology product line.    

Strategic Alliances Implemented

The Company has entered into Systems Integration Agreements with UKRCOM and NetDialogue, major systems integrators and resellers in the Ukraine and Russia, respectively, that are two key markets for the Company’s IPTV solution.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

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.

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.” Because of the uncertainty as to their future realizability of net operating loss carry forwards, no income tax benefit has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Utilization of net operating losses generated through March 31, 2007 may be limited due to “changes in control” of our common stock that occurred.

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. For the periods prior to October 1, 2005, the Company had chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation for grants to employees 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 had 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.

On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R).  SFAS 123R revised SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all employee stock-based payments at fair value over the service period underlying the arrangement.  Therefore, the Company is now required to record the grant-date fair value of its stock-based payments (i.e., stock options and other equity-based compensation) in the statement of operations,  The Company adopted FAS 123R using the “modified prospective” method, whereby fair value of all previously-granted employee stock-based arrangements that remained unvested at October 1, 2005 and all grants made on or after October 1, 2005 have been included in the Company’s determination of stock-based compensation expense. 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.

26


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. Historically, inventory consisted mainly of the Company’s POTS Splitter Shelf and Filters. As of March 31,2007 inventory consist primarily of equipment necessary for deployment of its IPTV product line to specifically identified customers.

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 product components and finished goods, primarily consisting of DSL splitter shelves and filters, from Janifast Limited. Directors that are significant shareholders of Janifast Limited include Messrs Ronald A. Durando, Gustave T. Dotoli, and Necdet F. Ergul.

Mr. Abraham Biderman is a Managing Director or Eagle Advisers, an investment banking firm, which has earned finder’s fees equal to approximately 10% of funds raised.

Microphase, Janifast, Hart Telephone and Lintel Corporation are significant shareholders of mPhase. Since inception, Microphase, Janifast and Hart Telephone have converted significant liabilities to equity. 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.

Since inception, the Messers Durando, Dotoli and Smiley have periodically advanced to the Company funds to meet short term working capital needs.

 Mr. Durando’s June 30, 2004 note payable balance of $300,000 was repaid by the Company during fiscal year 2005.

In June of 2005 Mr. Smiley converted his $100,0000 12% Promissory Note plus accrued interest  into 520,000 shares of common stock plus a 5 year warrant to purchase 520,0000 shares of common stock at $.25 per share. In addition, Mr. Smiley converted $9,975 of accrued interest into 49,875 shares of common stock plus a 5 year warrant to purchase a like amount of shares at $.25 per share. Finally Mr. Smiley received 25,000 additional shares of common stock as a market adjustment to his equity investment of $25,000 on August 30, 2004.

During the nine month period ended March 31, 2006 Mr. Durando, Mr. Dotoli and Mr. Smiley advanced $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000 respectively in the form of Bridge Loans to the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception (October 2, 1996) through March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006 the Company has incurred cumulative (a) development stage losses and has an accumulated deficit of $162,520,429 and $151,460,057 respectively and (b) negative cash flow from operations of $73,398,128 and $67,257,660 respectively. The auditors report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 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 $5-10 million during the next 12 months to continue operations. As of March 31, 2007, June 30, 2006, and June 30, 2005, the Company had a negative net worth of $2,634,400, $606,085 and $1,617,735 respectively.

At June 30, 2006 mPhase had working capital deficit of $1,093,784 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,674,419 at June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $1,359,925 of cash and cash equivalents and $106,237 of net accounts receivables to fund short-term working capital requirements.

 At March 31, 2007, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,011,440, and $315,055 of cash and cash equivalents to fund short- term working capital requirements. Cash used in operating activities was $6,730,469 during the nine months ending March 31, 2007. The cash used by operating activities principally consists of the net loss of $11,060,372, offset in part by changes in assets and liabilities, including an increase in accounts payable of $1,049,017, conversion of debt to equity of $909,294, non-cash charges of $1,124,647 for common stock, options and warrants issued for services and non-cash reparation charges of $1,202,730.

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. Historically, mPhase has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily through private placements of common stock and warrants.   Management expects that its near term financial needs will be provided by similar financing activities supplemented by sales of its IPTV products during the last half of calendar year end 2007.

The Company has no commitments from affiliates or related parties to provide additional financing. The Company has, from time to time, been able to obtain financing 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. As a result, conversions of Debt with related parties and strategic vendors during the periods enumerated is a follows:

Subsequent Events

The Company’s current low levels of liquidity have required that payments of accounts payable to vendors, including research partners, be extended beyond terms.  The Company is actively engaged in negotiations with several vendors to work out an equitable restructure of payment terms and/or conversion of such debt into equity.

Subsequent to March 31, 2007, the Company has sustained operations primarily through the issuance of common stock in Private Placement Agreements pursuant to Regulation D of Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended with Accredited Investors. Since March 31, 2007 the Company has raised approximately $2.5 million under such agreements and issued in excess of 19.4 million shares of its common stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Company issued approximately 22.5 million shares to certain investors as reparation shares so as to reduce investors past cost per share and encourage additional investment. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for research and Development payments to vender and working capital. On June 26, 2007 Messrs. Dotoli and Durando provided temporary working capital in the amount of $160,000 which was repaid on July 5, 2007.

The Company also approved various incentive compensation arrangements with employees and consultants involving the issuance of common stock and the granting of options to purchase such stock. In total, 12,150,000 of common shares with an estimated value of $1,822,000 and 2,600,000 options with an estimated value $230,000 of were issued under such program. Included in this amount were grants to the Messer’s Durando, Dotoli and Smiley of 4,000,000, 3,000,000 and 1,750,000 of restricted shares of common shares respectively for which an expense has been incurred of approximately $1,312,000. The exercise price of options granted ranged from $.20 to $.25 cents per share. In addition, the Company has incurred since March 31, 2007, and additional $172,541 in legal expenses in connection with the civil suit filed by the SEC on November 15, 2005 against Packetport.com, Inc and others (See Page 41 "Legal Proceedings").

The terms of the agreement provide that mPhase will have the option to  “PUT” up to $300,000 of its common stock to the Partnership per month upon the effectiveness of a Form S-1 Registration Statement covering such shared of common stock to be filed by the company in the near future. mPhase is not obligated to draw any minimum amount of money under the Private Equity Credit Agreement.

BUSINESS

Overview

We develop market and sell innovative IPTV and DSL broadband telecommunications solutions. Our main focus is developing the most cost effective products to enable telecommunications service providers to deliver  using internet protocol digital quality television (together with data and voice) over its existing infrastructure that may consist of copper, fiber, coax or some combination thereof. 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. Therefore our television products are targeted primarily for International markets outside of the United States.

On February 3, 2004, mPhase entered into the emerging area of NanoTechnology as a new and second line of business with its execution of a new Research and Development Agreement with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. NanoTechnology involves the synthetic assembly of new structures and materials at the molecular level. NanoTechnology has many potential applications including in industries such as biotechnology, semi conductors and power cells and sensors. The Company is initially focusing its efforts in developing new power cells and sensors NanoTechnology products designed for military applications.

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 its research of  its TV+ product to several major vendors including Velankani Telecommunications, Bitband, Magpie Insiders, Inc and Espial. The Company also outsources exploratory research of micro electro mechanical systems development and its exploratory development of power source array fabrication using nanotextured superhydrophobic materials to the Bell Labs division of Alcahtel Lucent . It also out sources analog engineering development and certain administrative functions to Microphase Corporation and manufacturing of its new VDSL customer premises splitter product to Janifast Ltd.

We currently have no contracts in place for the manufacturing of our products with either Microphase Corporation or Janifast Ltd. or any other non-affiliated third party manufacturers. It is anticipated that we will  receive a royalty  that is presently being negotiated as a percentage of gross revenues based upon the sales of quantities of the new VDSL customer premises splitter product that will be made by Janifast Ltd.

With respect to manufacturing of its IPTV TV+ solution, mPhase has contracted with outside software vendors for product development with which it can establish long-term relationships. By using outside vendors, mPhase believes it can accelerate its time to market as well as avoid the substantial hiring of internal personnel required for internal production. With respect to its Nanotechnology product line, mPhase utilizes the extensive research and development facilities of bell labs which would otherwise not be available to mPhase owing to the high capital cost as well as long lead time necessary to establish such facilities.

The Company has entered into various Project Development Agreements during fiscal year 2007 with Velankani, Espial and Magpie Telecom Insiders, Inc. for development of portions of its TV+ middleware .

Industry Background

The Company believes there is a significant market for its latest TV+ solution for the delivery of IPTV. 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. The mPhaseTV+ solution empowers 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.

32


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 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 TV+ solution enables telephone companies and other communications service providers utilizing twisted pair telephone wires or any other existing infrastructure 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. mPhase’s product solution do not require a capital-intensive fiber nor cable build- out, long lead times, or a technically challenging deployment. Instead, utilizing their already installed telephone line infrastructure, telephone companies can increase their per subscriber revenue, capture additional market share, 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 IPTV solution 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 IP Television Solution

mPhase markets and sells its innovative IPTV delivery middleware/software as part of its TV+ solutions. The Company has refocused its efforts on IPTV software/middleware based upon carrier class open standards. Originally the Company’s development of solutions for delivery of broadcast TV for telephone service providers was  an end to end  DSL proprietary hardware/software  product line or our legacy Traverser DVDDS product. Our current TV+ solution is middleware necessary for  the delivery of IPTV, voice and high-speed interned over any type of infrastructure of a telecommunications service provider. mPhase has  initially developed its TV+ solution for telephone companies in parts of the world where access to multi-channel television is limited. As additional robust features required by major U.S. carriers are added through additional development work on the IPTV, the Company plans to target such carriers as strategic partners and customers.

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 (asymmetric 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 has replaced this legacy product with its newer TV+ solution.

As of December 30, 2006. the Company is testing for deployment in Ukraine, its IPTV solution or Release 6.0 of its TV+ solution. Over the years, the Company has spent over $30 million on research and development culminating in the IPTV product and believes it has significant experience and market knowledge in the field as a result of over 7 years of development efforts, changing market conditions and new technology developments in connection with Internet Protocol delivery of video.

Bell Labs and mPhase initially commenced research on the TV+ solution in December of 2002 as a compliment to and enhancement of the software and set top boxes needed to delivery television over DSL using the Lucent Stinger DSLAM. Bell Labs had previously been working in a contract engineering capacity helping mPhase to cost-reduce its digital set top box. In May of 2006, the Company transferred the systems integration and development work for its IPTV middleware to Velakani and expanded the work of Magpie Telecom Insiders, Inc and Espial in connection with such development.

We believe that the TV+ solution is now  the most reliable, scaleable and cost-effective system for the delivery of television services over copper telephone wires. For mPhase, the TV+ solution marks a shift in strategy from selling a complete, proprietary platform to providing an industry-standard, carrier class middleware for the deployment of IPTV by telecommunications service providers.

Releases 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ solution were designed by Bell Labs  as ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) solutions then targeted to the traditional reliability and use of such protocol by the majority of telecommunications service providers. Subsequent releases of the TV+ solution marks the final evolution of the IP based solution ideally suited for large-scale deployments, and in parts of the world that cannot afford the cost of upgrading to cable infrastructure.

NanoTechnology

mPhase has recently entered the business of NanoTechnology which represents the latest scientific area involving the disciplines of molecular engineering, quantum physics and electrochemistry, amongst others to create new advances in products. mPhase is currently focusing primarily upon exploratory research for the development of advanced battery and power cell products and Electro Mechanical Sensor for a new generation of sensors for military applications.

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 (as discussed in related footnote 11 of financial statements on P F-35). See also “Material Related Party Transactions,” contained with “Critical Accounts Policies” on P 27 and “Certain Relationships and Related Transaction” P 51.

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 integrated 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.

34


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.

In November of 2003, mPhase announced that it had entered into a $1.0 million Project Development contract with Lucent Technologies’ Bell Labs division to complete development of Version 1.0 of its TV+ solution by the summer of 2004.

In February of 2004, mPhase announced that it had entered into a $1.2 million Project Development contract with Lucent Technologies’ Bell Labs division to perform exploratory research and development of micro power source arrays fabricated using nanotextured, superhydrophobic materials.

In September of 2004, mPhase announced that it had entered into a new $1.2 million Project Development contract with Lucent Technologies’ Bell Labs division to develop Version 3.0 of the TV+ solution centered around a new “Video Soft Switch” enabling the delivery of broadcast television, high speed internet and voice over an new IP based system with an open standards architecture.

In November of 2004, mPhase announced the selection by Lucent Russia to deploy 1,000 ports of mPhase’s TV+ solution to a telecom services company in the far eastern region of Russia that is one of 7 regional mega communications service providers.

In February of 2005 and March of 2005 respectively, mPhase extended its Project Development Agreement with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies Inc. covering its power cell product for an additional 12 months at a cost of $1.2 million and also entered into a new 12 month Project Development Agreement for development of its new MEMS based Magnetometer sensor product. Such contracts are in the process of being extended of an additional 12 months.

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, 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively, we generated $4,641,346,  $1,711,085 and $975,482 in revenue, respectively, and losses of $7,797,469, $11,504,944, and $19,233,716, 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 TV+ feature product 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 TV+ product is deployed and depending upon cost-competitiveness.

Our Products & Services

To date mPhase’s revenue has been derived almost exclusively from sales of DSL component telephone equipment parts, the majority of which has come from our sales of POTS Splitter Shelves. We received an order for a test of our TV+ solution from a major telecommunications service provider in Ukraine, that subject to an acceptance test expected to be completed in June or July of 2007 may result in the deployment of approximately 6,000 customers by a major telecommunications provider in the Ukraine.mPhase supplies the telecommunications industry with products designed to enable, enhance or support broadband DSL services such as its new VDSL customer premises splitter. The Company is currently focused upon sales of its flagship TV+ middleware solution in connection with deployments by telecommunications service providers globally of IPTV.

History of the IPTV+ Solution

 Our IPTV solution has been developed by the Company and various outsourcing  institutions and companies over a period in excess of 8 years. Our legacy DVDDS system was developed by Georgia Tech Research Institute which was a proprietary end to end system of software and hardware designed to delivery over copper telephone lines broadcast quality television, high-speed internet and voice. The system consisted of equipment located at  central offices of telecommunications service providers, customer premises (a set top box). The system downloaded television content from a head end and compressed such content into native MPEG-2 digital format for transmission over fiber to various central office of a telecommunications service provider. The system enabled the provider to transmit over existing copper telephone lines from the central office to the home broadcast television, voice and high-speed internet. In fiscal year 2003 the Company engaged the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies to cost reduce the set top box portion of the DVDDS.  The Company together with Bell Labs teamed together to create an industry-standard, high quality and cost effective television over DSL platform known as the mPhaseTV+ solution. Releases 1.0 and 2.1 of this solution consists of three key elements:  

35



1.

The mPhase BTS (broadcast television switch) layer interfacing the video headend and the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer);

2.

The Lucent’s Stinger DSL Access Concentrator, a field-tested central office (CO) piece of equipment which provides DSL connections to individual customers; and

3.

mPhase CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), a highly integrated set top box to deliver video in the home environment from the DSL link.

Together with a digital video headend  and the Lucent Stinger, the Versions 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ solution provide an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) based 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.

 In 2004 and 2005, it became evident that the market for delivery of broadcast television by telecommunications service requirements required a system that utilized internet protocol (IPTV) that is carrier class and with open standards instead of ATM protocol in order to achieve the lowest cost for delivery of broadcast television to the largest number of customers. In 2006, the Company announced the development of Release 3.0 of its TV+ product that was the first solution developed by the Company that utilized internet protocol to deliver broadcast television, high-speed internet and voice by a telecommunications service provider. This released marked a migration of the Company from the original DVDDS hardware/software end to end proprietary system to an open standards carrier class software/middleware IPTV solution designed to deliver television, voice and high-speed internet over copper, fiber or any other existing infrastructure that a telephone service provider may have. The middleware solution is part of the overall system which consist of head end and various system hardware components and set top box at a customer premises required for the delivery to broadcast television using IP protocol.

 As noted above, the Company’s current IPTV solution utilizes a communications framework based upon Internet Protocol (IP) instead of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) that was utilized in earlier releases of the product. ATM is an industry standard for transportation of data based upon a packaging of information into a fixed-size cell format for transportation across networks. Many telecommunications service providers currently deploy equipment that handles this protocol because it can support voice, video, data and multimedia applications simultaneously with a high degree of reliability. IP is another transport protocol that maintains network information and routes packets across networks. IP packets are larger and can hold more data than ATM cells. Historically, there have been concerns that service providers would be unable to provide the same quality of service with IP because it is not optimized for time-sensitive signals such as broadcast television and voice. Nevertheless, there is a greater demand by telecommunication service providers for IP systems for delivery of television, voice and high-speed data because such systems are significantly more cost effective to deploy based upon greater scalability.

Release 6.0 or the IP based TV+ platform is designed for customers planning to support large scale deployments, delivering both high speed data and television services. Such system is designed for maximum flexibility, cost effectiveness, and is highly scaleable for large deployments by telephone service providers. Since most telecommunications providers require an IP rather than ATM mode for deploying digital broadcast television and video on demand, all releases of our IPTV middleware, commencing with release 3.0, have utilized internet protocol.

The Company believes the initial major deployments and any revenues from sales of its flagship IPTV solution are not expected until the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. An upturn of spending in the telephone industry should also increase sales and improve the Company’s margins and provide the Company with the opportunity to attain profitability.

DSL Components

Although the Company has repositioned itself mainly as a software/middleware provider of IPTV solutions, mPhase also designs and markets a line of DSL component products that now consists of a new VDSL customer premises splitter designed to facilitate the roll-out of broadband services by telecommunications service providers such as AT&T that are using a combination of fiber to the curb and VDSL over existing copper lines to the home to solve the “last mile” for delivery of such services.

Research and Development Activities

As of June 30, 2006, we had been billed approximately $13,539,952 for research and development conducted by Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRC) in connection with the development, over 5 years of the legacy Traverser DVDDS system .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 up to 5% on future sales of the Traverser™ The license agreement expires automatically when the patents covering the invention expire.

The Company has paid Lucent Technologies, Inc, through March 31, 2007 a total of $4,819,502 for development of Versions 1.0 through Versions 3.0 its TV+ or IPTV solution which commenced as of September 15, 2002. In May of 2006, mPhase a transferred development of the IPTV middleware form the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies Inc to Velankani, as primary systems integrator of the project.  The Company is obligated to pay a total of approximately $1 million primarily to Magpie Telecom Insiders, Inc., and Espial, and Velankani Software  in remaining payments in order to complete Release 6.0 of the TV+ product.

In February of 2005 mPhase announced that it had entered into a new 12 month extension of its February 2004 $1.2 million Project Development contract with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technology Inc. for the exploratory research of micro power cell arrays using superhydrophobic nanotextured materials with the first commercial application expected to be a new miniature power cell with a very long shelf life for military and commercial applications. Under the terms of such agreement the Company has paid Lucent $100,000 per month commencing in February of 2005 for a 12 month period for a total of $1.2 million. The Company and Lucent plan to extend such contract for another 12 months on similar terms to continue development of the miniature power cell product. In addition in March of 2005, the Company announced a 12 month agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc. for development of an electromagnetic sensor or Magnetometer product using the science of Nanotechnology at a cost of $1.2 million payable in 12 installments of $100,000 per month through March of 2006. The Company renewed both contracts in May of 2006 through February and March of 2007 respectively and is currently in negotiations with Bell Labs to extend each of the contracts for an additional 12 months.

Market

Currently, mPhase’s target market for its IPTV solution includes telephone companies and telecommunications service providers worldwide. By deploying converged voice, video and data over their existing 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. IPTV subscriptions are forecasted to reach around 40 million subscriptions by 2010.  This number has increased significantly since 2004 at about 1.3 million.

IPTV can and most likely will become a catalyst of pay TV and broadband growth for key emerging markets such as Russia.  In today’s competitive telecommunications landscape, the mPhaseTV+ solution for delivery of IP TV has now become a compelling solution for many large international telecommunications service providers to compete effectively in today’s marketplace.

We estimate that on average, a typical telecommunications service provider using mPhase’s IP TV+ solution 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 IPTV+ solution are such that, for example, when charging as little as $10 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 achieve a significantly higher rate of return on its investment in our IPTV solution 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 TV+ solution developed in conjunction with Lucent Technologies, for a number of reasons:

1.

The platform has been designed to achieve maximum cost efficiencies by maximizing scalability using IPTV.

2.

Version 6.0 of the TV+ solution is a market driven IP based solution and is a powerful software/middleware enabling tool providing complete standards-based flexibility for any combination of transport hardware including all major DSLAM’s, set top boxes and other features necessary to optimize a solution by a telephone service provider for the delivery of broadcast television, voice and high-speed internet.


mPhase is currently targeting international incumbent telephone companies.  The Company expects to derive the majority of its system sales abroad, specifically from telephone service providers in the Ukraine,  Russia and Turkey. mPhase believes that foreign markets will adopt its IPTV solution more rapidly than domestic service providers since there is not generally intense competition from cable television. Therefore, the Company has placed much of its initial emphasis on targeting the international market.

Russia the Ukraine and Turkey are markets with minimal pay-TV and broadband penetration levels.  These markets offer the possibility that IPTV will be come the main catalyst for broadband adoption.  There has been little success in these markets thus far, but we believe we have created a product that will trump the past failures.  The demand for IPTV is higher now that it has ever been. The markets mPhase is targeting possess pockets of moderate to high-income households willing and able to purchase advanced digital services, but very few, if any, alternatives exist.

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.

37


Competition in the worldwide telecommunications 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.  Over the past decade, the distinction between local and long distance services has gone extinct.  Now operators have introduced all-distance calling for one rate.  This is why more and more operators are beginning to look into VoIP and other sources of revenue such as IPTV.

To date, there are several significant deployments of IPTV worldwide including Fastweb in Italy, Imagenio, operated by Telefonica in Spain, Yahoo BB/Softbank in Japan, SuperSun in China in Hong Kong, PCCW in Hong Kong, Free Telecom in France, Yahoo BB in Japan and Media on Demand in the Republic of China operated by Chunghwa Telecom. mPhase believes that the deployment of IPTV worldwide is in the beginning stages but we have begun initial deployments in Russia with Svyazinvest Companies. The market has been slower to develop than many commentators have predicted owing to the technical complexity of the systems software and hardware to deliver feature rich television and video on demand where many international telecommunications operators have varied topologies, existing infrastructure, and complex regulations to comply with in order to successfully deploy such a system. Nevertheless, mPhase believes that telecommunications service providers around the world have the incentive to deploy.

Sales Strategy

  IPTV

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 systems integrators and strategic partners in Turkey, the Ukraine and Russia.

Joint Venture Opportunities

 There also exist opportunities for mPhase to capture recurring revenue from the sale and deployment of its IPTV middleware through a joint venture business model. Under  this scenario, mPhase would sell its middleware 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 IPTV solution. mPhase believes a JV may provide additional opportunities for sales to international telephone carriers that may not have the funds to procure mPhase’s IP TV solution, yet recognize the potential business opportunity in deploying our product especially with respect to potential incremental revenues from targeted advertising.  

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 has established a JV in Turkey with Beyaz Holdings a significant provider of Turkish Television content. 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 sales of its TV+ solution, but would benefit from the recurring revenues from a JV engaged in being a broadcast television service provider.

DSL Component Products

mPhase continues to develop its new a line of VDSL component products such as its customer premises splitter. 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. With the migration of telecommunications service providers to VDSL in combination with fiber from ADSL the Company believes that its future revenues from DSL component products will depend upon the rapid development and successful marketing of its new VDSL customer premises splitter. The Company has phased out its legacy ADSL POTS splitter product owing to advancements in DSL technology and VDSL standards and overall market demand. 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

The Company has entered into software development and licensing agreements with Magpie Telecom Insiders, Inc. and Espial with respect to certain software used in connection with its TV+ product. Under such development and licensing Agreement the Company has made aggregate payments of approximately $2 million and $789,000 respectively as of April 18th, 2007. In addition the Company will pay a licensing fee per set top box sold as part of the TV product to Espial of $5.05 per set top box.

38


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 Company has filed 7 patents that consist of a combination of (a) patents granted to mPhase from the bell labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. and (b) joint patents developed by mPhase and employees of bell labs with respect to the nanotechnology products currently under development. In addition, on June 13, 2007, the Company filed a provisional patent covering its TV+ product.

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 IP TV middleware solutions and set top boxes. 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 IPTV solution is attractive to a broader range of customers of telecommunication service providers. The following sections outline the competitive landscape for mPhase. Cable Television Network Operators:

Cable Television is our indirect competitor.  This is mainly because where we are focusing our attention there are no known cable television providers.  mPhase believes that the TV+ solution is the most cost effective and robust video delivery technology deployable by our primary target market of international telecommunications service providers. Cable Television providers around the world are seeking to preempt the IPTV value proposition of transforming and personalizing the end-user experience.  New services are rapidly being provided to a larger customer base than previously with more emphasis on on-demand capabilities.  The cable industry in the United States has invested more than $85 billion in its networks to combine traditional coaxial cable with fiber optic to create hybrid fiber coaxial.  This allows operators to transmit digital signals, expand programming capacity and enable interactive services.  Cable operators will also move to IP, this is inevitable, but many markets do not have the cable infrastructure needed to deploy such a product.

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 competitively-priced 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.

Other IP TV Vendors

mPhase competes with  vendors of middleware. and set top boxes. Companies that supply middleware for IPTV include a joint venture of Microsoft and Alcatel, Minerva, Orca Interactive, Siemens, VBrick Systems, and Video Furnance.  IP end to end systems competitors include UTStarcom, mxWare and Industria.

Differentiating Factors

 mPhase believes that its IPTV product offers the most reliable, scaleable and cost effective solution for delivery of broadcast television programming on a cost-effective basis. Our solution is carrier class with open standards. mPhase’s unique systems architecture  for its TV+ is a streamlined solution is designed to be the most cost-effective scaleable solution in emerging international markets as well as flexible enough to be upgraded with enhanced features of more robust systems for high end customers.

39


Headend and Set Top Box Equipment Providers  

mPhase does not manufacturer either set top boxes or digital head end gear. All customers interested in deploying an mPhase IPTV+ solution must build a digital headend to receive, digitize and groom the television signals and provide set top boxes to their customers from other vendors. Through extensive lab and field testing, mPhase has established an approved vendor list of several headend providers and has tested its IPTV middleware with set top boxes manufactured by a number of vendors.

Nanotechnology

The science of nanotechnology is very new and evolving. There has been significant venture capital fundings of start up companies during calendar year 2005-2007 focusing upon development of a wide range of potential products and applications. mPhase believes that its power cell and magnetometer products may be the earliest products commercialized using the science of nanotechnology. Nevertheless, the Company does not expect any material revenues from such product for 3 years.

Employees

We presently have approximately twenty three (23) full-time employees and consultants, two (2) of whom are also employed by Microphase Corporation. See the description in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

Properties

We maintain our corporate headquarters at 587 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06854, under a facilities agreement with Microphase. The agreement with Microphase provides that we lease office space, lab facilities and administrative staff on a month-to-month basis. We also maintain offices in New York, N.Y and Little Falls, New Jersey.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has previously been advised that, following an investigation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the staff intends to recommend that the Commission file a civil injunctive action against Packetport, Inc. and its Officers and Directors. Such recommendation relates to alleged civil violations by Packetport and such Officers and Directors of various sections of the Federal Securities Laws. The staff has alleged civil violations of Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 13(d) of the Securities Exchanges Act of 1934. As noted in other public filings of mPhase, the CEO and COO of mPhase also serve as Directors and Officers of Packetport. Such persons have advised mPhase that they deny any violation of law on their part and intend to vigorously contest such recommendation.

On November 15, 2005, the Commission filed a Civil Enforcement Action arising out of such investigation in Federal District Court in the District of Connecticut against Packetport.com, Inc, its officers and directors and others. mPhase was not named in such civil action as a party defendant, however both the CEO and COO of the Company were named as defendants. The Commission has alleged that such defendants have violated various sections of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including the anti-fraud provisions of Section 10 and Rule 10b-5 as well as Sections 17 of the Exchange Act and Section 5 of the Securities Act. In addition Microphase Corporation is also named as a defendant in the civil action in connection with its sale of the stock of Packeport.com in early 2000. All defendants to the suit continue to deny any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend all allegations contained in such action.

In a ruling (3:05 CV 1747 (PCD)), dated March 21, 2007, the Honorable Peter C. Dorsey, Senior U.S. District Court Judge for the United States District Court  For The District Of Connecticut, granted a motion by defendants, Ronald A. Durando and Packetport Inc. joined by defendants Gustave T. Dotoli , Microphase Corporation and Packetport.com, Inc. to dismiss under Federal Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure the civil lawsuit filed on November 15, 2005 by the Securities and Exchange Commission against Packetport.com, Inc. et. al for lack of prosecution.

On April 4, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a motion with the United States District Court requesting a reconsideration of the motion to dismiss granted by the Court  in favor of the defendants.

In a ruling dated May 23, 2007, the Judge Peter C. Dorsey granted the motion for reconsideration filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and reversed his earlier ruling of March 21, 2007 and reinstated the case on the judicial calendar to proceed to trial.

From time to time we may be involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business.

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.

45


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 two (2) non-employee directors and approximately nineteen (19) 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.

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 $57 million upon  the 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.

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:

1.    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;

 2.     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;

 3.     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

 4.     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”. 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 re-allowed 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.

57


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 there under, 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 900,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value as of June 28, 2006 the date of our most recent annual meeting. As of July 9, 2007, approximately 391 million shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding and held by approximately 17,000 stockholders of record. Of the shares of our issued and outstanding common stock, 185,914,911 shares are covered by this prospectus. In addition shares of 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 newly issued warrants and options. The exercise price of these warrants and options range from $.13 to $.25 and have an expiration term of 5 years.

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.

58


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 Martin S. Smiley General Counsel to the Company. Mr. Smiley beneficially owns an aggregate of 10,728,198 shares of common stock of the Company.  

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 audited or reviewed, as the case may be, by Rosenberg, Rich ,Baker, Berman & Company and audited or reviewed, as the case may be, 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 March 31, 2006, Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC, owns approximately 829,098 shares of common stock directly and indirectly; options to purchase 875,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 472,778 shares of common stock, all of which are being registered pursuant to this prospectus. All of such securities owned by Schuhalter, Coughlin & Suozzo, PC and Edward P. Suozzo, individual and in trust for family members 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 accounting firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of mPhase Technologies, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of mPhase Technologies, Inc. (a New Jersey corporation in the development stage) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), cash flows and Schedule II (Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, Item 14B) for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006 and for the period from inception (October 2, 1996) to June 30, 2006. 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, 2001. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts for the period from inception to June 30, 2001, included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material accounting 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, 2006 and 2005 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006 and for the period from inception to June 30, 2006, 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, 2006
(Unaudited for the Period Ended March 31, 2007)

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 TV+ System, which delivers MPEG2 digital television, high-speed internet and voice over copper wire. Additionally, the Company sells a line of DSL component products. In February of 2004, the Company entered the field of Nanotechnology focused upon the development of batteries and power cells with military applications as an additional product line.

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) for $20,000. The Company acquired an additional interest in the joint venture of 6.5% in April of 2000 for $1.5 million. 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 TV+ products for delivery of broadcast IPTV, Broadband Watch loop diagnostic system and dsl component products which include POTS splitters and a line of intelligent POTS splitter products and a new line of power cell batteries being developed through the use of Nanotechnology. Since mPhase is in the development stage, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as typical for normal operating periods.

2. LOSSES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

Through June 30, 2006, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling $151,460,057, and at June 30, 2006 had a stockholders’ deficit of $606,085. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $1,359,925 of cash and $106,237 of trade receivables. Through March 31, 2007, the Company had incurred cumulative (a) development stage losses totaling ($162,520,429), (b) a stockholders’ equity (deficit) of ($1,665,829), and (c) negative cash flow from operations equal to ($73,398,128).  At March 31, 2007, the Company had $315,055 of cash and cash equivalents and $2,770 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 2007 and continue its development and commercialization efforts. 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 that would lead to commercial sales of its broadcast television platform products. The Company has had a downturn in sales of its POTS splitter products for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 to $975,482, which included sales to two customers of approximately $497,496 during such period.

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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of mPhase, its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

SFAS No. 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statements based on their fair values.  The Company adopted the provisions of Statement No. 123(R) in the current fiscal year. 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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

REVENUE RECOGNITION

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 revenue from two customers of 36% and 16% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Company had revenue from two customers of 35.1% and 28.9% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

Throughout the year, cash may exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions.  The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.  Cash balances exceeded FDIC insured limits at June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 and at times throughout the year for the years then ended.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and Development cost are charged to operations when incurred. The amounts charged to expense for the years ended 2004, 2005 and 2006, were $4,069,721, $5,127,438 and $8,034,964 respectively.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

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 $86,395, $54,321, and $55,987 for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively.

The 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, 2006.

INVENTORIES

The Company uses the First In First Out method (FIFO) to account for inventory which is carried at cost  Inventory consists mainly of the Company’s POTS Splitter Shelf, Filters, and Servers. Inventory is comprised of the following:

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which became effective for the Company July 1, 2002 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006. The Company assesses long-term assets for impairment under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews long-term assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company also assesses these assets for impairment based on their estimated future cash flows.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets for which it has been determined the assets will not be realized.

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 and the amounts recorded as other liabilities and other liabilities - related parties approximate their fair values based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar maturities.

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.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  - (Continued)

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, 2006, 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 incurred in connection with such warranties have been insignificant. Warranty expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 was nominal. Reserve is considered efficient to provide for future warranty costs on fiscal 2006 sales.  The Company’s aggregate accrued liability is $25,000 at this time.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB 153 - Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 153.  This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets.  The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged.  The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle.  This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date of this Statement is issued.  Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

FASB 123 (revised 2004) - Share-Based Payments

In December, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”.  Among other things, SFAS No. 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statements based on their fair values.  The Company adopted the provisions of Statement No. 123(R) in the current fiscal year.

 6. 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 is 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 stipulates 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.

(Unaudited for the Period Ended March 31, 2007)

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - (continued)

From time to time, mPhase may be involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business.  On November 15, 2005 a civil enforcement action (c.v. action no. 3:05 cv1747) was filed in Federal District Court in the State of Connecticut against Packetport.com, Inc. and others including Messrs. Durando and Dotoli in their individual capacity for alleged violations of the federal securities laws in connection with their activities as Officer’s and Director’s of Packetport.com during the year 1999-2000.  A summary of the Complaint is contained in SEC Litigation Release No. 19465 dated November 15, 2005.  The original complaint may be accessed on the SEC web site under http://www.sec.gov/litigation .  As noted in other public filings with the SEC, mPhase Technologies, Inc. is not named as a party to the civil action.  Both Messrs. Durando and Dotoli continue to deny any wrongdoing and will vigorously defend all allegations in the complaint.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  

The Company’s current low levels of liquidity have required that payments of accounts payable to vendors, including research partners, be extended beyond terms.  The Company is actively engaged in negotiations with several vendors to work out an equitable restructure of payment terms and/or conversion of such debt into equity.

Subsequent to March 31, 2007, the Company has sustained operations primarily through the issuance of common stock in Private Placement Agreements pursuant to Regulation D of Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended with Accredited Investors. Since March 31, 2007 the Company has raised approximately $2.5 million under such agreements and issued in excess of 19.4 million shares of its common stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Company issued approximately 22.5 million shares to certain investors as reparation shares so as to reduce investors past cost per share and encourage additional investment. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for research and Development payments to vender and working capital. On June 26, 2007 massers Dotoli and Durando provided temporary working capital in the amount of $160,000 which was repaid on July 5, 2007.

The Company also approved various incentive compensation arrangements with employees and consultants involving the issuance of common stock and the granting of options to purchase such stock. In total, 12,150,000 of common shares with an estimated value of $1,822,000 and 2,600,000 options with an estimated value $230,000 of were issued under such program. Included in this amount were grants to the Messer’s Durando, Dotoli and Smiley of 4,000,000, 3,000,000 and 1,750,000 of restricted shares of common shares respectively for which an expense has been incurred of approximately $1,312,000. The exercise price of options granted ranged from $.20 to $.25 cents per share. In addition, the Company has incurred since March 31, 2007, and additional $172,541 in legal expenses in connection with the civil suit filed by the SEC on November 15, 2005 against Packetport.com, Inc and others (See Page 41 "Legal Proceedings").

On July 6, 2007, the Company announced that it had executed with Double U Master Fund, L.P, a limited partnership organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, a Private Equity Credit Agreement for an aggregate of up to $6 million in financing through the sale, from time to time of the common stock of mPhase at a 14% disc ount to its market value (determined as a set forth in the Private Equity Credit Agreement). The terms of the agreement provide that mPhase will have the option to  “PUT” up to $300,000 of its common stock to the Partnership per month upon the effectiveness of a Form S-1 Registration Statement covering such shared of common stock to be filed by the company in the near future. mPhase is not obligated to draw any minimum amount of money under the Private Equity Credit Agreement.

Item 17. Undertakings.

1. 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:

2.  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

3.

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;


4.

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.


1.

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.


2.

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.


3.

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.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1 Relating to 259,598,933 Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the General Counsel of mPhase Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), I am familiar with the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), on July 12, 2007, for the registration of the resale from time to time of up to 259,598,933 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value by certain stockholders of the Company. Such registration statement, as amended when it becomes effective, but excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the "Registration Statement."

I have examined the originals or certified copies of such corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and public officials and such other documents, and have made such other factual and legal investigations, as I have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below.

Based upon my examination mentioned above, subject to the assumptions stated and relying on statements of fact contained in the documents that I have examined, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and that they are validly issued, fully paid and no assessable.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement relating to the securities described above and to the use of my name under the heading "Legal Opinion" in the related prospectus. In giving this consent I do not thereby admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933.

Very truly yours,

Dear Ms. Whelan:

Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU")

We refer to our current partnership agreement dated November 15, 2005 in relation to the licensing and provision by Latens Systems Limited (LATENS) of its Foundation Conditional Access System (FCAS) to allow mPhase Technologies to deliver their TV+™ platform to its customers. The system will conditionally decrypt Live and On-demand television services, by means of security protocol and entitlement keys provided by a LATENS FCAS system.

In order to formalise this relationship, LATENS would like to define the terms and conditions of service and licencing that mPhase will in turn present to its customers.

It is expected that LATENS and mPhase Technologies will enter into a formal Agreement to agree the terms of supply within 1 month from the signed date of this letter (the "Definitive Agreement").

This MOU confirms mPhase Technologies’ commitment to use LATENS’ products and the basic commercial terms agreed to enable both Parties to start work on customer projects.

1.

The agreed basic terms and conditions of any such purchase are:
     
  (i)

LATENS will supply its FCAS System as per agreed design and requirement for the mPhase Technologies customer. mPhase Technologies or its representative will be responsible for providing the required hardware that has been defined as part of the project plan.

 


   

mPhase Technologies - MoU , 23/01/2007

 

  (ii)

LATENS will provide its software and software licences to enable the system to operate as per agreed functionality. Additional requirements from mPhase Technologies or their customers for new features will be discussed between the parties and may be subject to charges from LATENS.

   

 

  (iii)

INSTALLATION – LATENS recommends the use of its professional services in order to provide the installation of its system at the customer site. LATENS will provide these services at an agreed discounted rate to mPhase Technologies. LATENS will provide quotation for this in advance of the installation date and mPhase Technologies will then issue a purchase order to cover costs. Any additional costs that are not attributed to LATENS in order to complete the installation and acceptance will be borne by mPhase Technologies.

   

 

  (iv)

SUPPORT – mPhase Technologies or its representatives will provide 1 st line system support to the customer and where applicable will refer any LATENS related issues using agreed and defined support procedures. (v) TRAINING – LATENS will provide a multi-skilled Project Manager to perform the customer training on-site at agreed discounted rates. (vi) LICENCES – When additional client licences or headend upgrades are required LATENS will notify mPhase Technologies accordingly. The costs due for the licence upgrades are claimed by mPhase Technologies and then issued as a purchase order to LATENS.

   

 

2.

PURCHASE ORDERS – following signature by both parties to this MOU mPhase Technologies shall issue LATENS with formal purchase orders for the supply of its software and which shall incorporate the terms of this MOU unless or until the terms of this MOU are superseded by the terms of the Definitive Agreement.

 

 

3.

TERM – the parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to conclude the Definitive Agreement as to the terms and conditions of the supply of the equipment and the installation and integration services by 4 weeks from the signed date of this letter.

 

 

4.

DELIVERY DATES – LATENS shall use reasonable endeavours to meet the key delivery dates identified in the Statement of Work (SOW) and project plan to be agreed upon by both parties.

 

 

5.

PAYMENT – it is agreed that the payment terms in respect of the software, installation & training services shall be as follows:

 

 

  (i)

Latens charge is payable within 30 days of invoice

   

 

  (ii)

In the event that delivery or integration/acceptance tests cannot occur within 30 days of the relevant milestone dates for reasons which are not attributable to Latens the payment linked to such milestone shall become due and payable on the expiry of the 30 day period subject to Latens giving you notice of the delay.

mPhase Technologies - MoU , 23/01/2007

 

6.

VARIATIONS – any additional work not identified in the SOW or any changes to the Equipment ordered shall be subject to both Parties agreeing that the same are feasible and to a written change request signed by each party which shall identify any changes to price, performance and timescales.

 

 

7.

INTEGRATION/ACCEPTANCE TESTS – Integration/Acceptance tests shall be conducted in accordance with test plans produced by LATENS and agreed by mPhase Technologies. Any defects from specification identified during acceptance testing which would not prevent the Equipment being put into operation shall be recorded in the Acceptance Test document and shall not entitle mPhase Technologies to delay making the payment of the relevant payment installment.

Duly authorised representatives of each party have signed this MOU below in order to indicate their acceptance of its terms.

STATEMENT OF WORK

Novel Reserve Cell Technologies and High Sensitivity Magnetometer Technology


1.    BACKGROUND:

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (MPHASE) has developed two technologies that are in the early stages of development that have a potential high interest to ARDEC.  These include a novel reserve micro scaled power cell and a family of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) -based very high sensitivity magnetometers.  These technologies have broad application to a number of current and forward looking programs that ARDEC manages.  mPhase Technologies, Inc. has expertise in technologies that lends itself to forming a collaborative working agreement with the Advanced Precision Concepts Branch at ARDEC to move the technology to higher TRL steps so that they could be used for next generation of guidance systems to enable capabilities of providing information to close the feedback loop and satisfy needed bandwidth requirements for appropriate control authority and maneuver response.

MPHASE also complements the programs by having local access to development and clean room prototyping facilities located in New Jersey that are not available to ARDEC for the prototyping and test effort.  Both the battery and magnetometer technologies have very strong synergistic cross over functionality for both defense and commercial applications, which will ultimately allow defense applications using the designs to benefit for reduced design and manufacturing costs.  

The Novel Reserve Cell Technology being developed by MPHASE provides a capability to integrate a reserve type cell on a chip or it could be scaled up to other applications. In principle, such a battery could be manufactured using similar technologies to those that are used to make integrated circuits. In addition this battery would provide the capability to be electrically initiated when needed. Also, this battery technology could provide various voltage levels without the need for electrical regulation because it can be made to have various tapping points for its voltage output.

24



2.    OBJECTIVE:

Through cooperative research and development, the Parties intend to demonstrate the application of the technologies described and study how such technologies would perform in high “G” environments. MPHASE and ARDEC plan on conducting an ongoing series of tests to characterize the devices in both laboratory and gun launch environments.  These tests would encompass subjecting the devices to g-force air gun environments, measurements of electrical and physical characteristics under various launch environments to combine magnetometer information with inertia sensor information to develop advanced Guidance Control and Navigation algorithms resilient to GPS outages.

  

3.    APPROACH:  

ARDEC will utilize their test facilities to help mPhase Technologies, Inc. characterize these devices for high-G survivability and the other applications listed below.  


Common tests for both devices are:

Air-gun tests for gun survivability with shock, for both low and high G force levels mimicking conditions experienced by gun-fired munitions.

Flight tests to monitor the survivability and performance at high G forces.

Vibration testing.

Temperature/Humidity testing.



NanoBattery Testing:

Battery activation/triggering methodology.

Time to full power.

Integration into the existing and prototype devices of interest to the Army.

25


 


Magnetometer Testing:

Data fusion with GPS and other sensors.

Sensitivity testing against commercially available magnetometers.

Test when GPS is unavailable.

Test positional accuracy.

Performance testing when vehicular mounted.

ARTICLE VIII

 

LEGENDS

 

Section 8.1 LEGENDS. Until such time as the relevant Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act, as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, and sold in accordance with an effective Registration Statement or otherwise in accordance with another effective registration statement, or until such Shares can otherwise be sold without restriction, whichever is earlier, each certificate representing Registrable Securities will bear the following legend (the "LEGEND"):

The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or the Securities laws of any state and may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities or an opinion of counsel or other evidence acceptable to the company that such registration is not required. As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery hereof, the Company warrants that it will give the Transfer Agent no instructions inconsistent with the provisions hereof. It is the intent and purpose of such instructions, as provided therein, to require the Transfer Agent to issue to Investor certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock incident to a Closing, free of the Legend; provided that (a) a Registration Statement shall then be effective, (b) Investor confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Company that it has sold or intends to sell such Common Stock, to a third party which is not an affiliate of Investor or the Company and Investor agrees to redeliver the certificate representing such shares of Common Stock to the Transfer Agent to add the Legend in the event the Common Stock is not sold, and (c) Investor confirms to the transfer agent and the Company that Investor has complied, or will comply  with the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act.


Section 8.2 NO OTHER LEGEND OR STOCK TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. No legend other than the one specified in Section 8.1 has been or shall be placed on the share certificates representing the Common Stock.

 

Section 8.3   COVER.  If the Company fails for any reason to deliver the Put Shares on such Closing Date and the holder of the Put Shares (a "Investor") purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by such Investor (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such Investor anticipated to make using the Put Shares (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay to such Investor, in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Documents, and not in lieu thereof, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The "Buy-In Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) such Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by such Investor from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to such Investor in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by such Investor. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if such Investor purchases Covering Shares having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock that it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount that the Company will be required to pay to such Investor will be $1,000.

 

Section 8.4   INVESTOR'S COMPLIANCE. Nothing in this Article VIII shall affect in any way Investor's obligations under any agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Common Stock.

Section 9.2  INDEMNIFICATION.                 


The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Investor and its officers, directors, employees, and agents, and each Person or entity, if any, who controls Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, together with the Controlling Persons (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) from and against any Damages, joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which Investor, its partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and duly authorized agents, and any such Controlling Person becomes subject to, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Company contained in this Agreement, as such Damages are incurred, except to the extent such Damages result primarily from Investor's failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or Investor's or its officer’s, director’s, employee’s, agent’s or Controlling Person’s negligence, recklessness or bad faith in performing its obligations under this Agreement.                 


Section 9.3     METHOD OF ASSERTING INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party (as defined below) under Section 9.2 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:                 

 

(a)      In the event any claim or demand in respect of which any person claiming indemnification under any provision of Section 9.2 (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") might seek indemnity under Section 9.2 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a person other than a party hereto or an affiliate thereof (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM"), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third Party Claim and for the Indemnified Party's claim for indemnification that is being asserted under any provision of Section 9.2 against any person (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY"), together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such Third Party Claim (a "CLAIM NOTICE") with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend has been prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the period ending thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the "DISPUTE PERIOD") whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its


 

sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.(i)If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.3(a), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages or that provides for the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in full pursuant to Section 9.2). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party's delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (i), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests; and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this clause (i), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may takeover the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under Section 9.2 with respect to such Third Party Claim. (ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.3(a), or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party(with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (ii), if the Indemnifying Party has


 

notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in clause(iii) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party's defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or of the Indemnifying Party's participation therein at the Indemnified Party's request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this clause (ii), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. (iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under Section 9.2 or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the amount of Damages specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.        

 

(b)   In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 9.2 against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification of a claim for indemnity under Section 9.2 specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an "INDEMNITY NOTICE") with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party's rights hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the amount of Damages specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.        


 

(c)

The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party or others, and (ii)any liabilities the Indemnifying Party may be subject to.

Section 10.3     ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and Investor and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any rights of Investor or the Company hereunder may be assigned by either party to any other person without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

Section 10.4     THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the Company and Investor and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

 

Section 10.5    TERMINATION; PRIOR AGREEMENTS TERMINATED. This Agreement shall terminate at the end of Commitment Period or as otherwise provided herein (unless extended by the agreement of the Company and Investor); provided, however, that the provisions of Article VI, VIII, and Sections 9.2,10.1, 10.2 and 10.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.6     ENTIRE AGREEMENT, AMENDMENT; NO WAIVER. This Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the Company and Investor with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

Section 10.7    FEES AND EXPENSES. Each of the Company and Investor agrees to pay its own expenses in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and performance of its obligations hereunder, except that the Company shall pay Krieger & Prager, LLP, upon execution hereof,  a fee of $30,000  for this transaction, and its fees pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.  In addition, the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Investor in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys fees and expenses. The Company shall pay all stamp or other similar taxes and duties levied in connection with issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto.

 

Section 10.8    NO BROKERS. Each of the Company and Investor represents that it has had no dealings in connection with this transaction with any finder or broker who will demand payment of any fee or commission from the other party. The Company agrees to indemnify the Investor against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any persons claiming brokerage commissions or finder's fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

Section 10.9  COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which may be executed by less than all of the Company and shall be deemed to be an original instrument which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other parties hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the parties so delivering this Agreement.

 

Section 10.10   SURVIVAL; SEVERABILITY. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company hereto shall survive each Closing hereunder for a period of one (1) year thereafter. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that such severability shall be ineffective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.

Section 10.12    NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

Section 10.13    EQUITABLE RELIEF. The Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Investor. The Company therefore agrees that Investor shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

Section 10.14    TITLE AND SUBTITLES. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for the convenience of reference and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

Section 10.16    PUBLICITY.   The Company and Investor shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and no party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, in which such case the disclosing party shall provide the other parties with prior notice of such public statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of Investor without the prior written consent of such Investor, except to the extent required by law. Investor acknowledges that this Agreement and all or part of the Transaction Documents may be deemed to be "material contracts" as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such documents as exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Investor further agrees that the status of such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company, in consultation with its counsel.
