ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

     mPhase Technologies, Inc. (“mPhase” or the “Company”) is a development stage technology company headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut with offices in Little Falls, New Jersey and Atlanta, Georgia. The Company is a developer of broadband communications products, specifically, digital subscriber line (“DSL”) products for telecommunications service providers around the world. mPhase shares common office space and common management with Microphase Corporation, a privately-held company. Microphase is a seller of radio frequency and filtering technologies to the defense and telecommunication industries. Microphase has been in operation for almost 50 years and supports mPhase with engineering, administrative and financial resources, as needed.

     Since our inception in 1996, mPhase has been a development-stage company. Our primary activities have consisted of designing, manufacturing and testing our flagship products designed to deliver digital broadcast television over DSL. We have not, as yet, derived any significant revenue from such products.

     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 which allows for the delivery of any channel to all users at any given time without any dilution in quality. The DVDDS consists of an Access Shelf located at a telephone service provider’s central office (CO) and an Intelligent Network Interface (INI)™ set top box located in a customer’s home. Because it is a propriatary end to end system, the DVDDS does not interoperate with other manufacturer’s DSL central office (CO) equipment or customer premises equipment. The DVDDS utilizes Asymmetric DSL (“ADSL”) that allows for significantly more downstream than upstream bandwidth for transmission that is well suited for delivery of broadcast television. The system is the only system on the market that utilizes non- Internet Protocol (“IP”) transmission over ADSL. The DVDDS is installed at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, where a limited user system is currently operational. A DVDDS™ system is also installed at the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina for use as a television broadcast system in a commercial setting.

      

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

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

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

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

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

Business Development, Organization, and Acquisition Activities

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

     On January 29, 1997, the Company formed another wholly-owned subsidiary called TLI Industries, Inc. The shares of TLI were spun off to its stockholders on March 31,1997 after the Company 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, the Company became the holding company of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lightpaths, Inc. on February 17, 1997.

     On May 5, 1997, the Company completed a reverse merger with Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc. and thereafter changed its name to mPhase Technologies, Inc. on June 2, 1997.

     On March 26, 1998 the Company entered into a Licensing Agreement with Georgia Tech Research Corporation (“GTRC”) in which mPhase became the exclusive licensee of all patents received by GTRC in connection with development of the Traverser™, GTRC receives a royalty equal to 5% of gross sales of the Traverser ™ and 30% of any “lump sum payments” under the terms of its license, as amended.

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

     In March, 2000, mPhase entered into a joint venture with AlphaStar International, Inc. to form an entity called mPhaseTelevision.Net, Inc. in which the Company held a 50% interest. On May 1, 2000, the Company acquired an additional 6.5% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net, Inc. and made it one of its consolidated subsidiaries.

     On March 14, 2000, mPhase entered into an agreement with BMW Manufacturing Corp., located in South Carolina. Under the agreement, the Company installed version 1.0 of the Traverser ™ for BMW’s telephone transmission network. BMW has agreed that, upon its notice and consent, mPhase 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 the deployment to 48 unique units.

     Our flagship installation, Hart Telephone, has completed the building and development of its digital headend during the fourth quarter of 2001. Hart currently has approximately 70 customers receiving about 80 channels of television services utilizing such platform.

     In May of 2002 mPhase initiated discussion for development of a cost-reduced set top box (INI) 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 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, 2002, 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 Technologies under which mPhase’s INI set top box would be co-branded with the Lucent Technologies name and logo.

     On April 4, 2003, mPhase entered into a Systems Integration Agreement with Lucent Technologies. Under the terms of such an agreement mPhase has been given the exclusive rights to sell worldwide as a ‘bundled’ solution the Stinger in connection with mPhases’ BTS.

     Our revenue, historically, has been derived exclusively from sales of DSL component telephone equipment parts, the majority of which has come from our sales of POTS Splitter Shelves. We have derived no material revenue to date with respect to our broadcast television over DSL platforms. In our fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 we generated approximately $1.6 million and $2.6 million in revenue, respectively, from the commercial sale of our component products and overall losses for such years of $6,650,211 and $11,245,361, respectively. These component products, including filters and Central Office POTS Splitter Shelves, are marketed to other DSL equipment vendors. We do not believe that either our legacy DVDDS platform developed by GTRC or our new TV+ platform developed by Lucent will be materially impaired by the sale of these component products to these potential competitors.

Products & Services

     Our primary business is to develop and market our platforms that are capable of delivering broadcast television by domestic and international telephone companies and other communications service providers over twisted pair copper telephone lines. We believe our flagship products are the most cost-effective, reliable, scaleable and easiest to operate platforms for delivery of broadcast television, data and voice over ADSL on the market. mPhase primarily is targeting its marketing of its television delivery systems to international telephone companies. Telephone companies around the world are experiencing negative pressures on their wireline calling revenues and need to increase their per subscriber revenue and margins. Outside of the United States, service providers are particularly reliant on their copper infrastructure, as few countries have upgraded their infrastructure to optics. Beyond that, the options for pay-tv services outside the U.S. are, for the most part, limited. Consumers living abroad have less access to digital television, leaving international telecommunication companies well-positioned to capture a large percentage of the market. Hence, we believe the market conditions that exist abroad are stronger for our products than those that exist domestically. mPhase intends to utilize its own sales force, in addition to strategic partners to distribute its products worldwide.

Television over DSL Platforms

     mPhase’s first TV platform, the Traverser Digital Video and Data Delivery System (“DVDDS”) introduced in 1998, is a patented end-to-end system enabling the delivery of digital broadcast television, analog voice service and high-speed data, as well as other ancillary services, over a single copper telephone wire using ADSL. Telephone service providers using the mPhase legacy DVDDS need to build a digital video headend or programming and control center (“PCC”) to downlink broadcast television programming content from satellites. This includes installing a satellite receiving dish, off-the-shelf video equipment and mPhase’s software to manage the video content at the PCC. Local off-air channels are received, digitized and combined with the signals received via satellite at the PCC. The PCC can be co-located with a single central office or remotely located and connected to each Central Office (“CO”) via fiber. The DVDDS CO equipment, known as the mPhase Universal Access Shelf, integrates video signals from the PCC with Internet and voice signals. The output of the Universal Access Shelf consists of DSL “lines" capable of carrying a single digital broadcast television channel, high-speed data and POTS (“Plain Old Telephone Service”) to subscribers over existing telephone lines. Upon reaching the home or business, the DSL line is fed into the mPhase intelligent network interface INI , or digital set top box. The INI separates the three signals and routes them to the television, PC and telephone.

     The Company believes that the DVDDS is best suited for markets outside of the United States that do not have a fiber-optic infrastructure and where there is a demand for voice and multi-channel digital broadcast TV over DSL. The patented bus architecture utilized by the DVDDS platform allows a plurality of channels to be delivered to a plurality of users all of the time ensuring unequivocal system reliability. The Company believes it to be a very effective method to deliver realtime broadcast television over copper phone wires. Additionally, the DVDDS does not require an upgrade of the existing infrastructure thereby avoiding the capital expense required to support certain competing video over DSL platforms.

     The DVDDS utilizes technology that mPhase licenses exclusively from Georgia Tech Research Corporation (“GTRC”) and DSL semiconductor chip technology purchased from GlobeSpan Semiconductor, Inc. Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation (“GTARC”) provided a significant portion of the engineering research and design to develop the DVDDS. The DVDDS also utilizes component technology developed by Microphase Corporation.

     The DVDDS is currently deployed with two customers, BMW Manufacturing in Spartanburg, South Carolina and Hart Telephone in Hartwell Georgia and has not, as yet, generated material revenues.

     mPhase has recently introduced its second television platform that utilizes the industry-leading, standards-based Lucent Technologies, Inc.’s (Lucent) Stinger DSL Access Concentrator for transport of digital television plus high speed-internet from a telephone service provider’s CO to a customer’s premises. The TV+ platform consist of a cost reduced INI set top box located in a telephone customer’s premises and central office equipment consisting of the Lucent Stinger DSL equipment plus a new mPhase Broadcast TV Switch (“BTS”).

     The mPhase TV+ platform, like the DVDDS, is designed to allow for the simultaneous delivery of analog voice plus digital high speed data, and broadcast TV over copper telephone lines between a telephone service provider’s CO and the Customer Premises. As noted above, the TV+ platform is aimed for use in markets primarily outside of the United States that do not have a fiber optic infrastructure necessary for cable TV or fiber to the curb necessary for very fast DSL (VDSL). Our solution is more cost effective for both a telecommunications service provider and the end user in such areas since it delivers any given broadcast television the channels to the largest number of users. We believe the mPhase TV+ solution provides the lowest capital cost for telephone service providers to enter the market for broadcast television.

     The mPhase TV+ platform does not contain features that currently would require significant and expensive upgrades to its telephone service provider’s current infrastructure. Our goal is to achieve wide acceptance of our television platforms in developing markets outside of the United States for multi-channel digital broadcast television at significant gross margins by creating an extremely cost-effective product. We believe such markets do not demand, or can afford, feature-rich and expensive solutions available with alternative technologies such as cable, VDSL and much more expensive platforms for ADSL. As ADSL technology migrates forward to ADSL2 or ADSL2+, mPhase will include some or all of these features in its TV+ platform in a modular scalable cost effective manner depending upon actual market demand for such features in markets that mPhase is targeting.

     For mPhase, the alliance with Lucent marks a change in strategy from selling a complete proprietary platform to providing an industry-standard, modular solution. Under our Co-Branding Agreement with Lucent, mPhases’s Traverser™ INI set top box is co-branded with Lucent and results in greater product recognition. Under our Systems Integration Agreement with Lucent, mPhase has the exclusive worldwide right to resell the Lucent Stinger as part of the bundled “value added” TV+ platform. By utilizing the Lucent Stinger for transport together with the mPhase TV+ platform, service providers can capitalize upon the proven and extremely robust and cost effective method of supporting and delivering data combined with the mPhase BTS supporting delivery of broadcast TV. In addition, the TV+ platform is compatible with DSLAM’s manufactured by other vendors.

     Since the mPhaseTV+ platform solution is modular, telephone companies that already have deployed the Stinger can quickly and easily upgrade to support broadcast television in addition to data and voice services. There are over 4 million Stinger DSL ports currently deployed in 20 countries around the globe. As noted above, the hybrid solution is based upon industry-standard transport technology as opposed to the proprietary transport utilized in the Traverser™. Finally, by utilizing the Lucent Stinger for transport, mPhase is able to capitalize upon future engineering and design efficiencies of the Stinger. The mPhaseTV+ platform is ideally suited for large-scale deployments in parts of the world where there either is currently or will likely be demand to support data AND television services simultaneously.

     mPhase’s original set top box designed by GTRC to be used as the CPE portion of the Traverser™ has recently been reduced in size and costs by Lucent. This product called the Traverser INI™ is a low-cost set-top box developed specifically for delivering (MPEG2) standard video bitstreams over DSL links. mPhase’s new version of its set top box utilizes standard ADSL transport. Such set top box can be sold as a stand-alone product that supports the Lucent Stinger DSLAM’s designed by Lucent as well as other manufacturers based upon an open form of standards-based technology.

     To date, Next Level Communications appears to have the lead among our competitors in terms of the number of deployments of broadcast television over DSL. However, the majority of such deployments utilize very fast DSL (“VDSL”) as opposed to our Asynametric DSL (“ADSL”) solution that has a much shorter reach from its source and requires a fiber to the neighborhood infrastructure. We believe the cost of such solution is prohibitive to many telecommunications service providers in the developing international markets where such an upgrade to such infrastructure is not economic nor feasible.

Other Products

POTS Splitter Shelves

     A Plain Old Telephone Service (“POTS”) Splitter Shelf is a low pass/high pass filter that separates voice and data transmissions. POTS Splitter Shelves are necessary to permit simultaneous voice and data transmissions over the same twisted copper wire pair. POTS splitter shelves and the individual cards that populate the shelf, separate and combine traffic traveling along each twisted pair of wires into the analog voice portion of a transmission and the digital data portion, so that each signal can travel independent of the other. This product allows for increased clarity of both voice and data information and decreased crosstalk or interference.

     Our POTS Splitter products are available in a domestic and European version.

Intelligent POTS Splitter (iPOTS )™, iPOTS3 and Universal Bypass

     The mPhase iPOTS and the recently introduced iPOTS3 are innovative products for the DSL industry that enables remote and cost-effective loop management and maintenance including line testing, qualification and troubleshooting from a telecommunication service provider from a CO. Prior to the introduction of the iPOTS and iPOTS3 products, loop management could not be remotely performed through a conventional POTS Splitter without the use of expensive cross connects or relay banks because of the mandatory direct current blocking capacitors in traditional POTS splitters, as required by regulatory standards. The (patent pending) iPOTS and new iPOTS3 products allow both narrow and wideband testing of a telephone loop for DSL data capabilities necessary to deploy DSL. Using the iPOTS products testing is performed through the central office POTS Splitter without having to manually intervene, thereby eliminating the need to dispatch personnel from the telephone company to the field thus reducing the cost of deploying DSL. Currently the iPOTS1 product is designed for use with the Lucent Stinger, whereas, the iPOTS3 product is compatible with any vendors DSLAM. mPhases’s Universal Bypass product is a module containing the intelligent functionality which can be used with any vendor’s POTS Splitter.

     mPhase is party to a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Corning Cable Systems for its line of intelligent products. This agreement increases the potential exposure of this product line, as Corning has a global sales force and established relationships with the largest telephone companies in the world.

mPhaseStretch

     mPhase has recently developed a new product known as the mPhaseStretch targeted for emerging markets outside of the U.S. This product is a digital loop extender that enhances the performance of the legacy DVDDS platform by extending the transmission distance for the delivery of voice, video and data up to 30,000 feet. The mPhaseStretch is a powered device that is placed on the line at approximately 9,000 feet intervals or before the signal begins to degrade. We believe, the addition of the Stretch could give mPhase the greatest serviceable distance radius for the delivery of converged services over copper telephone wires. The current mPhaseStretch is compatible only with the legacy Traverser DVDDS television platform.

Microfilters

     We have developed a complete line of microfilters, including a 2 and 4 pole filter for use in single and multi-phone households, as well as a Network Interface Device Splitter. These products, similar to POTS splitters, ensure clear and reliable service of voice, high-speed data, and television when these two services are transported over the same line.

Target Market

     mPhase’s primary target market for the DVDDS and TV+ digital broadcast television delivery platforms over ADSL includes international and rural domestic telephone companies. Specifically, we believe our TV over DSL platform products are the most competitive in markets that currently have limited access to multi-channel television services such as many parts of Eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, as well as parts of the rural United States.

Competitive Business Conditions

     The telecommunications sector continues to experience significant weakness in capital spending by service providers globally. The downturn in spending has continued for the last two fiscal years of mPhase ending June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 respectively. The dramatic pull back in equipment purchased by service providers, has significantly reduced earnings and resulted in dramatically reduced stock prices of telecommunications equipment vendors. This, together with the tremendous correction of stock prices in general during the past three years, has halted the growth of the sector. The Company remains optimistic about the future of DSL and the potential of its broadcast television platforms and the market for its component DSL products as the rollout of DSL continues globally. We anticipate some upturn in capital spending during fiscal year 2004, however, service providers still face significant challenges of overcapacity and declining margins for traditional services globally.

     In addition to the overall economic climate, the telecommunications equipment market is also characterized by swift technological change. Currently, communications service providers have the option to offer several broadband solutions in the last mile, including the existing ISDN or T-1 technologies, fiber optics or hybrid coaxial cable and wireless and satellite delivery methods. Communications service providers may use these other technologies instead of DSL to offer their subscribers broadband access. Based upon current telecommunications industry standards and deployment methodologies, mPhase believes that DSL can compete favorably with these other technologies, especially outside of the United States. In particular, telephone companies and other copper-wire based service providers, that are interested in maximizing revenues associated with the installed copper wire infrastructure, will favor DSL or other copper-based broadband technologies.

     Alcatel is the leading supplier of DSLAMS (digital subscriber line access multiplexers) around the globe having deployed several video over DSL installations with telephone service providers.  Historically, Alcatel has worked with multiple equipment vendors to create a complete, end-to-end video solution, including middleware (i.e., software) providers iMagicTV and set top box provider, Pace.  Recently, however, Alcatel acquired iMagicTV, bringing at least some of the third party required equipment, in-house.  Alcatel has announced upgrades to its ASAM 7301 specifically to better support the delivery of converged voice, video and data.

     There are a number of telecommunications equipment providers competing in the television over DSL market.  For instance, Next Level Communications (NLC), which has recently become a division of Motorola, has secured over 100 customers predominantly in the United States.  The majority of their deployments utilize a specific form of DSL known as VDSL (very fast digital subscriber line).  VDSL requires that telecommunications service providers install fiber optics into the neighborhood, or close to the customer premises because signals can only travel up to 5,000 feet over copper telephone wires.  As a result, relative to the mPhase solutions, the NLC platform is more capital intensive due to the cost of the infrastructure upgrade (i.e., installing fiber optics closer to the customer premises). NLC has also introduced an ADSL version of its equipment, which enables greater serviceable distance radius of approximately 8,000 feet. This newer product could compete more directly with both of mPhase’s TV platforms over ADSL solutions.   In general, NLC’s products tend to more feature rich and therefore more costly.  NLC concentrates the majority of its sales efforts within the US market where consumers demand a robust viewing experience due to the plethora of alternatives for television services.

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

     Other vendors that offer complete platforms for delivery of TV over DSL or hardware or software portions of such platforms that incorporate broadband solutions over copper wire include: ADC, Advanced Fiber Communications, Innovia, NEC, Motorola, Huawei Technologies Corporation Limited, Paradyne Networks, Samsung, 2Wire, Siemens, TUT Systems, Motorola, UTSTARCOM and Westell. In addition, we also compete with Minerva and Myrio Corporation, which provide infrastructure software products to deliver multi-channel digital television over telephone networks by using Internet Protocol.

     Cable television providers are also competing in the space for converged services using analog and digital cable connections that have been upgraded for digital two-way services. In the United States, the majority of cable connections have already been upgraded and can support the delivery of television and high-speed Internet, and in many cases, cable telephony. In fact, the imposing threat that cable companies present has created a catalyst among telephone companies to expand their service offering to include advanced services such as digital television.

     While satellite delivered television services in the U.S. have experienced significant growth over the past several years, the ability for satellite providers to offer reliable, consistent and cost- effective high speed data is still in its infancy and too expensive to commercially deploy. Furthermore, satellite providers are not typically equipped to offer telephony services, unless they were to partner with a telephony provider. Beyond that, particularly outside of the U.S., the direct-to-home satellite options are limited due to either low channel counts or unreliable quality. Satellite signals are often affected by weather events such as severe snow or rain, unlike DSL-delivered services which remain unaffected by weather patterns.

Manufacturing

     mPhase subcontracts all of the manufacturing of its products to outside sources including related parties such as Janifast Ltd. and Microphase Corporation.

Outsourcing

     The Company practices an outsourcing model whereby it contracts with third party vendors to perform certain functions rather than performing those functions internally. For instance, mPhase out sources digital engineering development for the Traverser™ System to GTARC. It also out sources analog engineering development and certain administrative functions to Microphase Corporation. mPhase has outsourced to Lucent Technologies, Inc. cost reduction of its Traverser INI set top box and development of its new mPhaseTV+ platform. With respect to manufacturing of its TV+-Platform, mPhase is targeting leading contract manufacturing companies with strategically located facilities globally with which it can establish long-term relationships. By using contract manufacturers, mPhase will attempt to avoid the substantial capital investments required for internal production.

     As described in detail on page 5, the Company has entered into a number of significant agreements with Lucent Technologies, Inc which include a Co-Branding Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2003, allowing the Company to add the Lucent name and Logo to its cost-reduced Traverser INI set top box. Such agreement is for an initial period of one year and is subject to renewal on an annual basis by mutual consent. In addition, the Company has entered into a Systems Integrator Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2003 designating the Company as a reseller of the Lucent Stinger DSL transport product when bundled as part of the mPhase TV+ platform globally. Such agreement gives mPhase the exclusive right to sell the TV+ product worldwide containing the Lucent Stinger as the DSL transport mechanism for delivering broadcast television, high speed data and voice over copper telephone wires. In order to qualify for such status, as an accredited reseller, Lucent Technologies, Inc. determined that the Company’s TV+ platform added significant software and hardware value to the Stinger DSL product by enabling such product to deliver broadcast television over ADSL in addition to the Stinger’s well known existing world –class capabilities for the delivery of voice and high-speed data over copper telephone lines. Such agreement is for an initial two year term provided that either party may cancel such agreement with 60 days notice to the other party.

Patents and Licenses

     We have filed and intend to file United States patent and/or copyright applications relating to some of our proposed products and technologies, either with our collaborators, strategic partners or on our own. There can be no assurance, however, that any of the patents obtained will be adequate to protect our technologies or that we will have sufficient resources to enforce our patents.

     Because we may license our technology and products in foreign markets, we may also seek foreign patent protection. With respect to foreign patents, the patent laws of other countries may differ significantly from those of the United States as to the patentability of our products or technology. In addition, it is possible that competitors in both the United States and foreign countries, many of which have substantially greater resources and have made substantial investments in competing technologies, may have applied for, or may in the future apply for and obtain, patents which will have an adverse impact on our ability to make and sell our products. There can also be no assurance that competitors will not infringe on our patents or will not claim that we are infringing on their patents. Defense and prosecution of patent suits, even if successful, are both costly and time consuming. An adverse outcome in the defense of a patent suit could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from third parties or require us to cease our operations.

     The intellectual property owned and licensed by the Company falls into two general categories, analog and digital intellectual property.

mPhase owns the analog intellectual property which can be characterized as filter technology. This intellectual property includes:

  o Low pass filter shelves and POTS Splitters, which separate and combine the DSL spectrum from the traditional voice service;
     
  o ADSL filters, which are filters that conform to the worldwide DSL standard and are utilized in the transmission of data and voice service; and
     
   o Bypass for telephone Splitter System, which enables an automated and remote bypass of the POTS Splitter so full metallic testing can be performed.

     We have a pending patent application which was filed in June 1999 claiming priority to three provisional patent applications for the analog portion of our technology.

     mPhase exclusively licenses our digital intellectual property from GTRC. We also have an exclusive, worldwide license to manufacture and market products using the technology developed by GTARC under our contract with them. The exclusive license with GTRC is applicable for the duration of their patent protecting the system design and other technology related to the Traverser™. The digital intellectual property that we license provides several unique aspects of the Traverser™. Among them is the backplane design, which provides every subscriber the ability to view any channel available. All subscribers in a given system could be watching the same channel at the same time. The intellectual property licensed exclusively to mPhase by GTRC includes the below mentioned patents. A patent for the System and Method for the Delivery of Digital Video and Data over a Communications Channel was issued on November 28, 2000 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation.

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

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

     Another patent was issued on August 13, 2002 covering what mPhase calls the System Management Workstation (SMW). Specifically, this patent entitled, “Computer System and Method for Providing Digital Video and Data Over a Communication Channel” addresses the means by which the computer system and method manages the already patented bus or broadcast backplane, for the delivery of converged voice, video and data. The management system covered by this patent performs functions such as monitoring the health of the Traverser™ system, managing a database of user information, as well as linking multiple central offices to a master system control station.

Georgia Tech also has patents pending that protect:

     o apparatus and methods of remote control of the Intelligent Network Interface™; and,

     o systems and methods to provide subscribers means to playback previously recorded video content.

We also rely on unpatented proprietary technology, and we can make no assurance that others may not independently develop the same or similar technology to ours or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of the Traverser™ technology, our future operations would likely be adversely affected.

Government Regulation

     The Federal Communication Commission, or FCC, and various state public utility and service commissions, regulate most of mPhase’s 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 the Company’s potential penetration into certain markets. In addition, its business and results of operations may also be adversely affected by the imposition of certain tariffs, duties and other import restrictions on components, which mPhase obtains from non-domestic component suppliers. Changes in current or future laws or regulations, in the U.S. or elsewhere, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business.

     To the best of our knowledge, there are no state or local laws to which we are subject that are relevant to our system from a regulation and certification standpoint. At the Federal level, we are subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Regulations Under the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Chapter 1, Part 15-RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES, and Part 68-CONNECTION OF TERMINAL EQUIPMENT TO THE TELEPHONE NETWORK. Part 15 sets out the requirements to obtain a license for operating a radiator of electromagnetic energy, and the technical and administrative specifications relating to the marketing of such radiators. Part 68 sets out the rules and regulations to provide for uniform standards for the protection of the telephone network from harms caused by the connection of terminal equipment and associated wiring thereto, and for the compatibility of hearing aids and telephones so as to ensure that persons with hearing aids have reasonable access to the telephone network.

     Our products and equipment were designed to comply with the aforementioned rules and regulations. The POTS splitter and filter products were already certified with FCC Part 68. The Traverser™ is still undergoing FCC Part 15 certification process.

     Compliance with FCC rules and regulations allows our equipment to be marketed and sold in the United States. While the certification process and costs associated have no material effect on mPhase’s financial condition, failure to comply with FCC rules and regulations would result in loss of revenue and additional costs on product revision and/or redesign.

Research and Development

     mPhase has designed the legacy Traverser™ DVDDS and its ancillary component parts in conjunction with multiple research and development partners. On March 26, 1998, we entered into a license agreement with GTRC which has the patent on the Digital Video and Data Delivery System technology. GTRC has granted us the exclusive license to use and re-sell this technology in the legacy Traverser™ DVDDS TV platform. We are required to pay GTRC royalties of 5% on the sales of the legacy Traverser™ DVDDS platform. The agreement expires automatically when the patents covering the invention expire. GTARC conducts the majority of our digital research and development for the Traverser™. Microphase Corporation contributed the analog technology incorporated in the design of the Traverser™, as well as providing ongoing development of analog DSL components. As of June 30, 2003, we had been billed a cumulative total of approximately $13,524,300 for research and development conducted by GTARC.

     Our new cost-reduced feature enhanced Traverser™ INI set top box together with our TV+ platform is being developed by Lucent Technologies, Inc. for a cost of approximately $1.6 million and we have engaged and expect to continue to engage Lucent for assistance with our development of other product refinements and enhancements on a project by project basis. As of June 30, 2003 we have been billed a cumulative total of approximately $1,268,750 for research and development conducted by Lucent, of which we have paid approximately $898,000.

Employees

     mPhase presently has approximately 13 full-time employees, two of whom are also employed by Microphase Corporation. See the description in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

     RISK FACTORS

     RISKS RELATED TO FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF OUR BUSINESS

     We have had substantial losses from operations since our inception in 1996 (including $6,650,211 and $11,245,361 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively) and cannot be certain when and if we will ever be profitable.

     We will continue to incur losses from operations and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future and will need to depend on external funding which may not be available in the capital markets.

     We have never been profitable from our inception in October, 1996 through June 30, 2003 and we have incurred (a) accumulated net losses of $108,016,497 million and a stockholders’ deficit of $3,781,649 respectively and (b) cumulative negative cash flow of approximately $43,515,413.

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

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

     Management estimates that the Company will need additional capital of $2 million between now and June 30, 2004 to continue operations through (a) further reduction of our cash expenditures, (b) sales, (c) external funding or by (d) a combination of the foregoing.

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

     As of June 30, 2003, we have warrants and options outstanding convertible into approximately 31,777,735 shares and 17, 167,000 shares of mPhase common stock of which, upon conversion may adversely affect the future price of our common stock.

     As of June 30, 2003, a portion of our warrants and options outstanding are convertible into approximately 22,826,010 and 2, 435,000 respectively of our common stock at $.30 per share or less that, upon exercise, will result in significant dilution to many of our current shareholders and may adversely affect the future price of our common stock.

     As of June 30, 2003, the Company has approximately 3,130,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of convertible notes to related parties at $.30 per share.

     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 either the NASDAQ National or NASDAQ Small Cap exchanges it is considered to be a “penny stock” limiting the type of customers that broker- dealers can sell to which is limited to established customers and Accredited Investors (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) thereby limiting its liquidity.

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS

     We have had to date no material revenues derived from sales of our legacy Traverser™ DVDDS platform or our new TV+ platform or new line of Intelligent POTS Splitters.

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

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

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

     We depend upon Lucent Technologies, Inc. for continued technical assistance in connection with deployment of our TV+ platform and new Traverser™ INI set top box as well as our current ability to resell the Lucent Stinger on a bundled basis with such TV+ platform and our business would be materially adversely affected if Lucent were to terminate our relationship.

     Management contracts with all of our senior officers have expired and are currently being renegotiated and no assurances can be given that the Company will reach a new agreement with such key individuals.

     RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR TARGETED MARKETS

     Our sales cycle for our legacy Traverser™ DVDDS and TV+ platforms as well as our new Traverser™ INI set top box are lengthy (since it involves a major strategic decision by a telecommunications service provider or equipment vendor) and we may incur significant marketing expenses with no guarantee of future sales.

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

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

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

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

     Our television delivery platforms over ADSL may fail to meet foreign regulatory standards.

     Our customers may need to build a digital head-end to download television programming signals from satellites involving a significant additional capital expenditure to utilize the digital Television capabilities of either of our legacy Traverser™ DVDDS or TV+ platform.

     The telecommunications equipment industry is subject to swift and continuing technological changes that could render our products obsolete

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

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

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

     Our telephone service provider customers face competition from cable-based technologies, fixed wireless technologies and satellite technologies which may cause them not to deploy our Traverser™ product.

     Although the Traverser™ product is patent-protected and neither it nor our TV+ product are the subject of any infringement allegations, the telecommunications industry, in general, is characterized by a large number of patents and frequent patent litigation based upon claims of patent infringement when compared to other industries.

     mPhase’s products are subject to various regulations and certifications in different countries and no assumptions can be made that such products will achieve such certifications or satisfy regulatory compliance standards.

     Future market demand for telephone service companies to continue an aggressive roll-out of DSL, in general, and ADSL and ADSL2+ in particular, is highly unpredictable especially in developing markets outside of the United States.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

     The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors, which have affected mPhase’s financial position and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements, financial data and the related notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     mPhase develops, markets and sells a line of innovative DSL based broadband communications equipment. mPhase is a development-stage company that has designed, patented and is currently engaged in commercialization of the Company’s primary flagship products that enable telephone service providers to deliver multiple channel digital broadcast television programming, high-speed Internet and voice service over existing copper telephone lines. From inception, the Company’s operating activities have consisted primarily of research and development, establishing third-party manufacturing and distribution relationships and developing product brand recognition among telecommunications service providers for its flagship products. These activities included establishing trials and field tests of the legacy DVDDS and, more recently, its TV+ platforms with Hart Telephone Company in Georgia and establishing a core administrative and sales organization. The Company believes that its television broadcast platforms provide the most cost effective, reliable and scaleable solution for many telephone companies seeking to provide television, high-speed internet and voice utilizing Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, or ADSL technology. Such platforms are designed for markets primarily outside of the United States where there is a lack of fiber-optic infrastructure necessary to deliver cable television.

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

     mPhase was organized on October 2, 1996. On February 17, 1997, the Company acquired Tecma Laboratories, Inc., a public corporation in a reverse merger transaction. This resulted in the Company’s stock becoming publicly traded on the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. On June 25, 1998, the Company acquired Microphase Telecommunications, Inc. in a stock for stock exchange, whose principal assets included patents and patent applications utilized in the Company’s legacy Traverser™ DVDDS product. On August 21, 1998, mPhaseTV.net, Inc. was organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary to market interactive television and e-commerce revenue opportunities. This subsidiary is dissolved. On March 2, 2000, mPhase acquired an interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net, Inc., a joint venture organized to provide digital television programming content to service providers in the United States deploying TV over DSL.

     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 62 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.

     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 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, 2002, 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 Technologies under which mPhase’s INI set top box would be co-branded with the Lucent Technologies name and logo.

     On April 4, 2003, mPhase entered into a Systems Integration Agreement with Lucent Technologies. Under the terms of such an agreement mPhase has been given the exclusive rights to sell worldwide as a ‘bundled’ solution the Stinger in connection with mPhases’ BTS.

     In July of 2003, mPhase successfully deployed for testing the TV+ platform for 3 customers of Hart Telephone Company.

     The Company has incurred net losses totaling approximately $108,016,497 million during the development of its flagship product from inception through June 30, 2003. In fiscal 2001, the Company had anticipated that the sales of its component products would be able to supplement the underwriting of the completion of our flagship product, the Traverser™. In fiscal 2002 these sales declined with the overall decline of DSL deployments and spending in the telephonic industry. The Company sales of its POTS splitter product continued to slow during most of fiscal year 2003 with overall revenue decreasing approximately $1 million as telecommunications spending continued to decline. The Company believes that its new iPOTS product will benefit from some of the existing DSL deployments in the future. Until such time such revenues are realized, the Company intends on maintaining its reduced cost structure to minimize its losses, which management believes will permit the Company to ultimately achieve profitability. The Company believes the initial deployments and the resultant revenues of its flagship television products may occur during the latter part of fiscal year 2004, which along with any upturn of spending in the telephonic industry for DSL component products will increase sales and improve the Company’s margins and provide the Company the opportunity to eventually attain profitability.

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

     Cost of revenues. The costs necessary to generate revenues from Microphase and the sale of POTS Splitter Shelves and other 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. Costs for future production of the Traverser™ product will consist primarily of payments to manufacturers to acquire the necessary components and assemble the products and future patent royalties payable to GTRC.

     Research and development. Research and development expenses consist principally of payments made to GTRC, Lucent and Microphase Corporation for development of the Traverser™ product. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

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

     Litigation. mPhase has not incurred any material expenses due to litigation since its inception.

     Non-cash administrative stock-based employee compensation charge. mPhase incurred non-cash administrative stock-based employee compensation charges of $28,563 and $548,550, for the fiscal years ended 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company has reduced its use of stock options and warrants as a form of compensation to employees, directors and outside consultants as part of its current austerity program.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VS. JUNE 30, 2002

     Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2003 decreased to $1,581,639 from $2,582,446 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced sales of POTS Splitter Shelves and other DSL component products.

     Cost of revenues. Total cost of revenues decreased to $1,493,394 for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $2,415,219 for the year ended June 30, 2002 due to the decrease in sales of POTS Splitter Shelves and other DSL component products. Operating margins for the period ended June 30, 2003 were unchanged from the 6% margins for the period ended June 30, 2002. During the year ended June 30, 2003 there was a continued slump in telecommunications spending negatively affecting sales of POTS Splitter Shelves and other DSL component products.

     Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased to $3,538,305 in the year ended June 30, 2003 from $3,819,583 for the year ending June 30, 2002. This represent a decrease of $281,278 in fiscal 2003, the major components of which include reductions in most categories of research and development expenses, including reductions of expenses incurred with Microphase corporation of $322,640 , GTRC of $350,000, and other research expenses of $265,871, offset by an increase in expenses incurred with Lucent of $956,250 for the year ended June 30, 2003.     

     Such amount includes $1,112,500 incurred with Lucent Technologies for the year ended June 30, 2003, primarily in connection with the cost-reduction to mPhases’s Traverser™ INI set top box and development of its new mPhase TV+ platform, as compared to $156,250 during the comparable period in 2002, which we expect to be developed by Lucent Technologies, Inc. for a total cost of approximately $1.6 million. We have engaged and expect to continue to engage Lucent for assistance with our development of other product refinements and enhancements on a project by project basis.

     Research and development expenses incurred primarily with respect to Microphase Corporation decreased from $751,074 to $428,434 for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in research and development expenses with Microphase in fiscal 2003 is the result of less costs incurred for product enhancement projects since the completion of the development of the original POTS Splitter product line, while still maintaining the continuing development of the Company’s DSL component products. This includes the Company’s line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Company’s newest products, the iPOTS™ and mPhase Stretch. We believe the mPhase iPOTS™ offers a much needed solution for the DSL industry; the iPOTS™ enables telcos to remotely and cost-effectively perform loop management and maintenance including line testing, qualification and troubleshooting.. The unique (patent pending) iPOTS™ circuit allows most test heads to perform both narrow and wideband testing of the local loop through the central office POTS Splitter without having to physically disconnect the POTS Splitter, thereby eliminating the need to dispatch personnel and a truckroll. Another of our newer products we developed is the DSL loop extender, called mPhaseStretch. This product extends the service distance for the mPhase Traverser™ and may be used in conjunction with other DSL services. The Company anticipates demand to be created for its new products both collectively should an upturn occur in DSL deployments, and individually in current market conditions, as the as the iPOTS™ significantly reduces the cost of deploying and maintaining DSL services and the Stretch loop extender product addresses a primary issue in DSL services.

     Research and development expenses with GTRC declined to $100,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $450,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 as a result of the legacy DVDDS television platform nearing completion. Generally, as the Company anticipates the completion of its Traverser™ product, overall research and development expenses incurred with GTRC are expected to decline, with variations based upon product cost reductions, product enhancements, if any, when such are undertaken with GTRC.

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

     Net loss. mPhase recorded a net loss of $6,650,211 for the year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to a loss of $11,245,361 for the same period ended June 30, 2002. This represents a loss per common share of $(.10) in 2003 as compared to $(.23) in 2002, based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 65,217,088 and 49,617,780 during the periods ending June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 VS. JUNE 30, 2001

     Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2002 decreased to $2,582,446 from $10,524,134 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to slowing sales of the Company’s POTS Splitter product line, caused by the general downturn in the telecommunications market, including among customers that order component products from the Company. The Company continues to believe that its line of POTS Splitter products is positioned to be competitively priced with high reliability and connectivity, and as such has the potential to be 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 2003.

     Cost of revenues. Cost of sales was $2,415,129 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $5,804,673 in the year ended June 30, 2001. Cost of revenues declined for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the prior period ending June 30, 2001 primarily because of decreased sales. Operating margins for the period ended June 30, 2002 were 6%. The 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. Additionally, the Company has offered discounts to certain customers in the period ended June 30, 2002 causing the margin to decrease. These discounts were to existing customers to accelerate collections and amounted to $14,389 for the period.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $3,819,583 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $10,779,570 in the year ended June 30, 2001. Such expenditures include $450,000 incurred with GTRC for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $3,814,000 during the comparable period in 2001. In addition we incurred $1,212,594 with Microphase and additional expenses with other strategic vendors for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $3,405,975 during the comparable period in 2001.

     The decrease in research and development expenses with Microphase is due to the completion of the development of the POTS Splitter product line. The decrease in research and development expense of approximately $3.1 million is due to the termination of the Company’s relationship with a third party manufacturer, Flextronics, with whom the Company had incurred substantial costs for prototypes and pre-manufacturing costs.

     The decrease in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the Company’s nearing completion of the design and manufacture of prototypes of the set top box and the central office equipment associated with its Traverser™ product in 2002. Generally, as the Company anticipates the completion of its Traverser™ product, overall research and development expenses are expected to decline, with variations based upon product cost reductions, product enhancements, if any, when such are undertaken.

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

     General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,490,373 for the year ended June 30, 2002 down from $16,150,711 for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative costs included a decrease of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and options to consultants, which totaled $2,445,561 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $6,227,552 during the comparable period in 2001. The decrease also occurred as a result of the reduction in workforce in Fiscal 2002 and the reduction in marketing expenses in Fiscal 2002 in response to the current contraction in the telecommunications equipment market. Other components of the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses were a substantial decrease in payroll of approximately $1,100,000 to $450,000, use of outside consultants of approximately $870,000 to $70,000, marketing expenses such as trade shows of $1,200,000 to $270,000, and advertising expenses of $415,000 to $13,000, all of which approximated $2,800,000.

     Net loss. mPhase recorded a net loss of $11,245,361 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a loss of $23,998,734 for the same period ended June 30, 2001. This represents a loss per common share of $(.23) in 2002 as compared to $(.72) in 2001, based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 49,617,280 and 33,436,641 during the periods ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively.

CURRENT PLAN OF OPERATIONS

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

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

     For the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and for the period since inception (October 2, 1996) to June 30, 2003, approximately $100,00, $450,000, $3,813,683 and $13,524,300, respectively, has been billed to mPhase for research and development conducted by GTARC. With the completion of the DVDDS legacy product, the Company has shifted its research and development from GATRC to Lucent Technologies Inc. Such new research and development was (a) initially for cost reduction of its INI set top box (b) development by Lucent of the new TV+ product (consisting of a newly designed television broadcast switch compatible with the Lucent Stinger data delivery system as well as equipment of other major vendors) . The Company incurred research and development expenses with Lucent for fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 of $1,112,500 and $156,250, respectively.

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

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

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES IMPLEMENTED

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

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

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

20


Back to Contents

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

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

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”), No.2, “Accounting for Research and Development Cost.”

INCOME TAXES

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

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

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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

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

INVENTORY RESERVE AND VALUATION ALLOWANCE

     The Company carries its inventory at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventory consists mainly of the Company’s POTS Splitter Shelf and Filters. In determining the lower of cost or market, the Company periodically reviews and estimates a valuation allowance to reserve for technical obsolescence and marketability. The allowance represents management’s assessment and reserve for the technical obsolescence based upon the inter-operability of its component products, primarily filters and splitters, with presently deployed and next generation DSL infrastructures as well as a reserve for marketability based upon current prices and the overall demand for the individual inventory items. Material changes in either the technical standards of future DSL deployments or further erosion in the demand for deployments of DSL infrastructures could affect the estimates and assumptions resulting in the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

MATERIAL RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company records material related party transactions. The Company incurs costs for engineering, design and production of prototypes and certain administrative functions from Microphase Corporation and the purchase of finished goods, primarily consisting of DSL splitter shelves and filters, from Janifast Limited. The Company has incurred costs for obtaining transmission rights. This enabled the Company to obtain re-transmission accreditation to proprietary television content that the Company plans to provide with its flagship product, the Traverser™ within its incorporated joint venture mPhase Television.Net, in which the Company owns a 56.5% interest.

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

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 2003 mPhase had a working capital deficit of $1,405,331 as compared to working capital of $399,321 as of June 30, 2002. The Company’s working capital position improved significantly in July of 2003 as a results of a major order for POTS Splitters as reflected in its 8k filings of July 2, 2003 and July 23, 2003, respectively. The Company believes this will be sufficient for its short-term liquidity. During fiscal year ending June 30, 2004 it is estimated that the Company will need to raise approximately $2,000,000 to meet longer term liquidity needs through June 30, 2004. Such monies would be necessary primarily to fund future capital expenditures for research and development of enhanced features for its TV+ product and the manufacturing of inventory necessary to complete any significant order for DSL component products. Additional capital will need to be raised to build inventory for any significant order of the TV+ platform, the legacy Traverser™ DVDDS platform or the new Traverser INI™ set top box that might occur in fiscal year 2004. Finally, (depending upon sales and margins in fiscal year 2004) additional capital may be required to fund a portion of any growth necessary in operations.

     Included in the Company’s working capital position at June 30, 2003, were the conversions of approximately $1.9 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to related parties and strategic vendors to equity, $360,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to related parties and approximately $625,000 accrued payables and accrued expenses into Notes payable and $1.2 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to a strategic vendor expected to be converted to equity in fiscal 2004. Through June 30, 2003, the Company has incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $108,016,497. At June 30, 2003, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $396,860 compared to $47,065 at June 30, 2002. Historically, mPhase had funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily through private placements of common stock. Management expects that its ongoing financial needs will be provided by financing activities and believes that the sales of its line of POTS Splitter products and other related DSL component products will provide some offset to cash flow used in operations, although there can be no assurance as to the level and growth rate of such sales in future periods as seen with quarter to quarter fluctuations in component sales. At June 30, 2003, the Company had accounts receivable of $287,135 and inventory of approximately $2.1 million. This compared to $273,780 of accounts receivable and approximately $3.3 million of inventory at June 30, 2002.

     Cash used in operating activities was $1,212,718 million during the twelve months ending June 30, 2003. For fiscal 2003 the cash used by operating activities principally consists of the net loss plus the slight increase in accounts receivable, offset by the decrease in inventory and by the increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and increases in the amounts due to related parties; further offset by non cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, and by non-cash charges for common stock options and warrants issued for services.

     In the year ended June 30, 2003, net cash of approximately $73,305 was used in investing activities for the purchase of fixed assets.

     The Company has entered into various agreements with GTARC, pursuant to which the Company receives technical assistance in developing the Digital Video and Data Delivery System. The Company has incurred expenses in connection with technical assistance from GTARC totaling approximately $3,813,683, $450,000 and $100,000 for the years ended 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively, and $13,524,300 from the period from inception through June 30, 2003. As noted above, in November of 2002, the Company and GTRC and GTARC entered into a Memorandum of Intent to convert all amounts outstanding and exchange mutual Releases in consideration for two term Notes totaling $624,235 with varied payments through 2007 and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through 2007, at a price and formula to be agreed upon. mPhase is the sole, worldwide licensee of the technology developed by GTARC in conjunction with the Traverser™ product line. Upon completion of the commercial product, GTRC may receive a royalty of up to 5% of product sales.

     During the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2003, certain officers, directors and related parties were issued restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants for aggregate investments totaling $116,000 in cash in one of the private placements listed below.

     During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2003, the Company raised capital through private placements with accredited investors, whereby the Company issued 4,296,680 shares of the Company’s common stock together with 4,296,680 warrants, each to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.30 per share, generating gross proceeds of $1,289,005. The Company incurred $124,687 of cash expenses and issued 313,669 warrants, each to purchase one share of its common stock at $.30 per share to finders, consultants and investment banking firms in connection with these private placements.

     In addition, certain strategic vendors and related parties converted approximately $1.9 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses into 5,923,333 shares of the Company’s common stock and 3,706,800 warrants. Such vendors include Microphase Corporation and Janifast, Ltd. In addition, Messrs, Durando and Dotoli, converted $468,756 in back salary obligations into warrants to purchase 2,491,800 shares of common stock of the Company.

     As of June 30, 2003, mPhase had commitments of approximately $700,000 for capital expenditures with respect to its new TV+ product with Lucent Technologies, Inc.

CURRENT STATUS

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

LOSSES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

     Through June 30, 2003, the Company incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $108,016,497, and at June 30, 2003 had a working capital deficit of $1,405,331 The primary reason for the deterioration in the Company’s working capital position at June 30, 2003, was the continued weakness in sales necessary to fund continuing expenses of operations as well as difficult capital markets funding conditions and the desire of management of the Company to avoid unnecessary dilution by issuing large amounts of equity at depressed prices to raise larger sums of cash. As noted above, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 the Company’s efforts to maintain a manageable working capital position included conversions of approximately $1.9 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to related parties and strategic vendors to equity, $360,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to a related party into a note payable and continued negotiations to convert up to approximately $1.8 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to strategic vendor into notes payable and equity, of which a minimum of approximately $1.2 million is expected to be converted to equity in fiscal 2004. At June 30, 2003, the Company had $396,860 of cash and cash equivalents and $287,135 of trade receivables to fund short-term working capital requirements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) the successful market and sell its products.

     The Company believes that it will be able to complete the necessary steps in order to meet its cash flow requirements throughout fiscal 2004 and continue its development and commercialization efforts. Management’s plans in this regard include, but are not limited to, the following:

     We intend to continue to invest in technology and telecommunications hardware and software necessary to keep our products. We continue to operate on an austerity budget with sharply reduced administrative and marketing expenses.

     We continue our efforts to raise additional funds through private placements of our common stock, the proceeds of which are required to fund continuing development stage expenditures and the commercial roll-out of our TV+ platform However, there can be no assurances that we will generate sufficient revenues to provide positive cash flows from operations or that sufficient capital will be available when needed or at terms that we deem to be reasonable.

     We have evaluated our cash requirements for fiscal year 2004 based upon certain assumptions, including our ability to raise additional financing and increased sales of our POTS splitter. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise approximately $2 million additional monies primarily in private placements of its common stock with accredited investors, or alternatively we will need to curtail certain expenses as incurred at the present levels including marketing and research and development expenses. We have no commitments from affiliated or third parties to provide additional financing. In the event that we do not receive any proceeds from additional financings, we will attempt to further reduce expenditures and continue to operate the Company from sales revenue and any funding that may be available from affiliated companies. Additional investment in technology design to reduce the cost of the Traverser™ will be necessary over the next 12 months. In the long term, the Company may continue to invest additional funds annually on research and development of the Traverser™ product line based upon sales levels, changes to technology and the overall success of the Company attaining sufficient financing until such time as it achieves profitable operations.

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

ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The Company is not exposed to changes in interest rates as the Company has no floating rate debt arrangements and no investments in certain held-to-maturity securities. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of any financial instruments at June 30, 2003. We believe that interest rate risks for our accounts receivable are insignificant. Sales to customers are denominated in dollars. Accordingly, we are not directly exposed to market risks from currency fluctuations.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The information required by this item is set forth commencing on page F-1 attached hereto.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

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

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of mPhase Technologies, Inc. (a New Jersey corporation in the development stage) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), cash flows and Schedule II (Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, Item 14B) for the two years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of mPhase Technologies, Inc. for the period from inception to June 30, 2001. Such amounts are included in the cumulative from inception to June 30, 2001 totals of the statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows and reflect total net loss of 83 percent of the related cumulative totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts for the period from inception to June 30, 2001, included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of mPhase Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2003 and for the period from inception to June 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and is in a working capital deficit position that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

mPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

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

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

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

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

     On March 2, 2000 the Company acquired a 50% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net, Inc., an incorporated joint venture with AlphaStar International, Inc. (Note 8). The Company acquired an additional interest in the joint venture of 6.5% in April of 2000 for $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 legacy Traverser™ DVDDS and TV+ products for delivery of broadcast television over ADSL and associated DSL component products which include POTS splitters and a line of intelligent POTS splitter products. Since mPhase is in the development stage, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as typical for normal operating periods.

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

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

     The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its products.

     The Company believes that it will be able to complete the necessary steps in order to meet its cash flow requirements throughout fiscal 2004 and continue its development and commercialization efforts. Management’s plans in this regard include, but are not limited to, the following:

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

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

     Management estimates that the Company will need additional minimum capital of $2.0 million by June 30, 2003 to continue its operations either through revenues from sales, external independent or related party funding further expense reductions some combination thereof. The Company presently has ongoing discussions and negotiations with a number of additional financing alternatives, one or more of which it believes will be able to successfully close to provide necessary working capital, while maintaining sensitivity to shareholder dilution issues. However, the Company has no definitive agreements to provide funding at this time.

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

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

     Management believes that actions presently being taken to complete the Company’s development stage through the commercial roll-out of its broadcast television platforms will be successful. However, there can be no assurance that mPhase will generate sufficient revenues to provide positive cash flows from operations or that sufficient capital will be available, when required, to permit the Company to realize its plans. The accompanying financial statements does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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

RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

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

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

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

REVENUE RECOGNITION

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

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

SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES

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

BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISK

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

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

ADVERTISING COSTS

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

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

     In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes rules for the Reporting of Comprehensive Income and its components. For each of the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, there was no difference between the Company’s net income and comprehensive income.

PATENTS AND LICENSES

     Patents and licenses are capitalized when mPhase determines there will be a future benefit derived from such assets, and are stated at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally five years.

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

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

INVENTORIES

     Inventory consists mainly of the Company’s POTS Splitter Shelf and Filters. Inventory is comprised of the following:     

     June 30     
   
 
      2002     2003  
   
 

 
 
 

 
 
Raw materials   $ 266,748   $ 131,797

Total     4,586,071     2,589,678  
               
Less: Reserve for obsolescence     (1,243,355 )   (486,350 )
   

 

 
               
    $ 3,342,716   $ 2,103,328  
   

 

 

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

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

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

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED

      mPhase accounts for net loss per common share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”). SFAS No. 128 requires the disclosure of the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Common equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS since their effect is anti-dilutive.

WARRANTY RESERVE

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

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

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

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

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“ FIN 45”). FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and adoption of the disclosure requirements are effective for the Company during the first quarter ending January 31, 2003. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

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

4. ACQUISITION OF MICROTEL

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

5. NOTE RECEIVABLE

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

8. JOINT VENTURE

     In March 2000, mPhase acquired a 50% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net (formerly Telco Television Network, Inc.), an incorporated joint venture, for $20,000. The agreement provided for the grant of warrants to the joint venture partner in consideration of the execution of the Joint Venture Agreement, to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $4.00 per share (valued at $2,633,400). This non-cash charge 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. The loan is repayable to the Company from equity infusions to the subsidiary, no later than such time that mPhaseTelevision.Net qualifies for a NASDAQ Small Cap Market Listing. During April 2000, the Company acquired an additional 6.5% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net for $1,500,000.

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

     Pursuant to an agreement dated as of June 18, 2002, mPhaseTelevision.Net has terminated its lease of the earth station and Alphastar and its affiliated entity have converted certain accounts payable into shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, under this Agreement, mPhase is obligated to pay Alphastar and its affiliates $35,000, which is included in amounts due to related parties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and ended June 30, 2003, the joint venture was charged $64,039 and $0, respectively for fees and costs by its joint venture partner and its affiliates.

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

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

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

     mPhase has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options and certain compensating warrants granted to employees at fair market value. Had compensation expense for stock options granted under the Plan and certain warrants granted to employees in 2003, been determined based on fair value at the grant dates, mPhase’s net loss for 2001, 2002 and 2003 would have been increased to the pro forma amounts shown below.

     The Company has also incurred charges for beta testing and on-site marketing, including the display of a live working model at Hart Telephone.
