1.          BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was organized on October 2, 1996. On February 17, 1997, the Company 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"), through the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of MicroTel. The assets acquired in this acquisition were patents related to the mPhase line of DSL component products (e.g., POTS Splitters) and patent applications utilized in the Company's proprietary Traverser™ Digital Video Data Delivery System ("Traverser"). The primary business of the company is to design, develop, manufacture and market high band-width telecommunication products incorporating digital subscriber line ("DSL") technology. The present activities of the Company are focused (a) upon cost reduction and enhancement of its proprietary Traverser™ product under an Agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc. and (b) deployment of the Traverser™ product. The Traverser™ enables telecommunications service providers to simultaneously deliver MPEG2 digital quality television (utilizing non-internet protocol), high-speed Internet and voice over copper telephone wire utilizing DSL technology. Additionally, the Company sells DSL component products which includes microfilters, splitters, and line extenders.

The Company is in the development stage, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises." and its present activities are focused on the commercial deployment of its proprietary Traverser ™ and associated DSL component products. Since mPhase is in the development stage, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as typical for normal operating periods.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION-The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ending March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003.

Through March 31, 2004, the Company had incurred cumulative (a) development stage losses totaling  $112,916,268 and (b) negative cash flow from operations equal to $48,280,631. At March 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $1,325,062 of cash, cash equivalents and approximately $122,291 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) allow the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its products.

USE OF ESTIMATES-The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the

8


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

financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. 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.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED - The Company 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 for all periods presented since their affect is antidilutive.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT-Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

REVENUE RECOGNITION-All revenue included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented relates to sales of mPhase's line of POTS Splitter products and other related DSL component products. As required, the Company adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, which provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition based on the interpretations and practices of the SEC. The Company recognizes revenue for its line of POTS Splitter products 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. In addition, the Company includes costs of shipping and handling billed to customers in revenue and the related expenses of shipping and handling costs is included in cost of sales.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION-The Company accounts for its stock option plan under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," under which no compensation expense is recognized for options granted to employees. In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" for disclosure purposes; accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the results of operations for its stock option plan for options granted to employees as required by APB Opinion No.25. During fiscal 2004, the Company adopted the disclosure only provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 and SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for stock-based employee compensation, effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year. Under the method selected by the Company, stock-based employee compensation cost recognized in 2004 and 2003 is still based upon the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, which is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price over the exercise price on the date of the grant to all employee awards granted. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method has been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

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 by the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions.  Also, this statement amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions.  Provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 were effective for the Company on November 1, 2002 and provisions affecting SFAS No. 13 were effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

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

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

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

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

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities, if applicable. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS 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, a New Jersey corporation, founded in 1996 is a publicly-held company with over 11,000 shareholders and approximately 85 million shares of common stock outstanding. The Company's common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL. We are headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut with offices in Little Falls, NJ and New York, N.Y. mPhase shares common office space

14


with Microphase Corporation, a privately held company. Microphase is a leader in the field of RF and filtering technologies within the defense industry. It has been in operation for almost 50 years and supports mPhase with both engineering, administrative and financial resources as needed.

mPhase develops, markets and sells a line of innovative DSL ("digital subscriber line")-based broadband telecommunications equipment. Our flagship product line includes two systems enabling the delivery of television over DSL by telephone service providers. Both of these products facilitate telephone companies becoming full service communications providers by enabling the simultaneous delivery of digital broadcast television, high speed data and voice services over the existing telephone line infrastructure. mPhase has developed its flagship line of products with a specific target in mind-telephone companies in parts of the world where access to multichannel television is limited. To that end, mPhase's primary goal is to develop cost-effective TV over DSL solutions that support proven, revenue-generating services (i.e., broadcast television) rather than developing robust, feature-intensive and expensive platforms intended to compete with cable companies such as those that exist in the US.

mPhase introduced its first TV over DSL product, the Traverser Digital Video and Data Delivery System in 1999. The Traverser DVDDS, is a patented end-to-end system based upon proprietary technology developed in conjunction with Georgia Tech Research Corporation. Because it is an end-to-end video-over- aynchronous DSL (ADSL) system, the Traverser does not interoperate with other manufacturer's DSL Central Office equipment or Customer Premise modems. This system is the only non-Internet Protocol system on the market today. The Company continues to market this product, and believes is best suited for customers specifically interested in supporting television services with a minimal need to support high-speed data customers.

The Traverser is installed at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, where a 30-user system is currently operational. Hart Telephone competed the construction of its digital head end toward the end of 2001, marking the Traverser's transition to commercial deployment. A Traverser system is also installed at the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina for use as a telebroadcast system in a commercial setting.

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

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

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

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

To effectively market this joint solution, mPhase has been established as a Lucent Business Partner. As a business partner, mPhase is able to sell the complete TV+ platform, including reselling the Lucent Stinger®. The agreement enables mPhase to sell the TV+ platform anywhere in the world where the customer is interested in supporting digital video services. Additionally, mPhase and Lucent are jointly marketing this product solution to existing Lucent customers, as well as to Lucent's extensive network of business partners around the world. Together the two companies are in the process of identifying strong opportunities and target markets. Once identified, collectively mPhase and Lucent will approach Lucent's established business partner in that region for further marketing to the appropriate end customer. This co-marketing relationship is of significant value to mPhase. By gaining access to Lucent's business partners, mPhase will have the opportunity to significantly increase exposure for its TV+ solution without having to increase the size of its direct sales force.

mPhase DSL Component Products - mPhase also has designed and markets a line of DSL component products ranging from items such as Plain Old Telephone Service POTS splitters to innovative loop management products. From our inception in 1996 to date virtually all of mPhase's revenue has been derived from sales of our component DSL products such as POTS splitters and low pass filters. Our newest innovation in our suite of DSL component products is our iPOTS or Intelligent POTS splitter product. This product enables telephone service providers comprehensive remote and automated test access to all elements of a DSL network. The iPOTS product allows 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 wpeed 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.

mPhase has established a worldwide distribution agreement with Corning Cable Systems for the sale of this product.

NANOTECHNOLOGY: During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company entered into the new field of Nanotechnology for the development of micro power source arrays for battery applications.  Such technology is currently the subject of $1.2 million development agreement with Lucent Technolgies Inc.  The first product line to be developed is targeted for military applications and is not expected to be available for sale for a period of approximately 18 months.

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 Traverser™ product. 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 deploying television over DSL.

From mPhase's inception, the operating activities related primarily to research and development, establishing third-party manufacturing and distribution relationships and developing product brand recognition among telecommunications service providers. These activities included establishing trials and field tests of the

16


Traverser™ product with Hart Telephone Company in Georgia, and establishing a core administrative and sales organization. The company  is currently focused on achieving developments on its TV + Product worldwide:

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

Cost of revenues. The costs necessary to generate revenues from the sale of POTS Splitter Shelves and other related DSL component products include direct material, labor and manufacturing. mPhase paid these costs to Janifast Ltd., which has facilities in the People's Republic of China and is owned by and managed by certain senior executives of the Company. The cost of revenues also includes certain royalties paid to Microphase Corporation, a privately held corporation organized in 1955, which shares certain common management with the Company. 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 Georgia Tech Research Corporation, ("GTRC").

Research and development. Research and development expenses consist principally of payments made to GTRC, Microphase Corporation and Lucent Technologies, Inc. for development of the Traverser™ and the integration mPhase's Broadcast Television Switch with the Lucent Stinger voice and data delivery system product. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In addition the company has recently incurred research and development expenses with Lucent Technologies Inc. for work performed in the area of Nanotechnology.

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.

Non-Cash Compensation Charge

The Company makes extensive use of stock options and warrants as a form of compensation to employees, directors and outside consultants. From inception (October 2, 1996) through March 31, 2004 the Company has incurred cumulative (a) development stage losses and has an accumulated deficit of $112,916,268 and (b) negative cash flow from operations of $46,280,631. The auditors report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 includes the statement that "there is substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern".  The Company raised approximately  $3.8 million during the nine month period ended March 31, 2004 and management estimates that the Company needs to raise an additional $4 million during the next 12 months to continue operations. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a negative net worth of $2,047,240 down from a negative net worth of $3,228,826 as a result of the raising of proceeds from private placements plus conversions of debt to equity offset by continuing net losses incurred after 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 and 2003 these sales declined with the overall decline of DSL deployments and spending in the telephone industry. During the first half of the fiscal year 2004, POTS Splitter revenues increased but have declined during the third quarter ended March 30, 2004. The Company believes its new IPOTS product will capture some of the existing DSL deployments, providing increases in revenue in the second half of fiscal 2005. 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 sustain its development process and ultimately achieve profitability.

17


The Company believes that significant deployments and resulting revenues from these deployments of its flagship product, the TV+, are not expected until the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. The Company further believes that an increase in capital expenditures in the telecommunications industry will also increase sales and improve the Company's margins as well as increase the probability that the Company will attain profitability.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 VS. MARCH 31, 2003

REVENUE

Total revenues were $555,339 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $209,754 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to continued slow sales of the Company's POTS Splitter product line, caused by the continuing 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 a significant part of DSL deployment worldwide. The Company still cannot say when the demand for telecommunication equipment will resume.

COST OF REVENUES

Cost of sales were $483,964 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $205,231 in the prior period, representing 87.2% of gross revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and 98% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, respectively. Our margins have contracted dramatically over the past two years as spending among the telecommunications providers has contracted, coupled with downward pressures related to the supply and demand of telecommunications products, and the current quarters improvement represents a slight improvement of our purchase price for materials used in our products.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses were $1,403,817 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $905,554 during the comparable period in 2003 or an increase of $498,263 from the comparable period in 2003. Such expenditures include $0 incurred with GTRC for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $0 during the comparable quarter in 2003, which was more than offset by $596,675 incurred in the current quarter ended March 31, 2004, with Lucent Technologies, Inc., which consisted of $396,675 incurred on the development of the Broadcast Television Plus product for use with Lucent's Stinger® DSL product, $200,000 incurred on the cost with respect to the development of micro power source array batteries using Nanotechnology. In addition, the balance of $807,142 of additional expenses was incurred with Microphase and other strategic vendors for the three months ended March 31, 2004 when compared to $405,554 during the comparable quarter in 2003, and thus resulted in a decrease of $401,588 of such research costs to other than GTRC and Lucent. The elimination in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the Company's transition from its legacy Traverser™ product to its TV+ platform in 2004.

Research expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing development of the Company's DSL component products, including the Company's line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Company's newest products, the iPOTS™ and the mPhase Stretch. We believe the mPhase iPOTS™ offers a much needed solution for the DSL industry; the iPOTS™ enables 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 deployment of personnel to the field. 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

18


eliminating the need to dispatch personnel . The Company believes future demand for this product, as it significantly reduces the cost of deploying and maintaining DSL services. Also recently developed is the DSL loop extender product called mPhaseStretch. This product extends the service distance for the mPhase Traverser™ and can be used in conjunction with other DSL services. The Company anticipates future demand for the Stretch loop extender product outside of the United States as it addresses a primary issue in DSL services on a cost-efficient basis.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $803,411 for the three months ending March 31, 2004 up from $543,627 or an increase of $259,784 for the comparable period in 2003. The increase 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 $36,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $88,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 or an increase of $51,382 of such charges. The increase of $311,166 in selling, general and administrative costs were the aggregate of additions of several new employees in connection with development of the Company's mPhase TV+ solution and entry into the area of Nanotechnology.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expense was $26,801 for the three months ending March 31, 2004, down from $128,725, or a decrease of $101,924 from the comparable period in 2003. The decrease is a result of the Company's reduced outlay for capital expenditures in its two most recent fiscal years. We do not expect such downward trends to continue but such depreciation and amortization expense should remain at the current levels until the Company commences deployment of its Television over DSL platforms. We expect to increase capital expenditures in connecting with the deployment of equipment at test sites with various telecommunications service providers globally as development of our TV+ product progresses.

NET LOSS

The Company recorded a net loss of $2,334,396 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to a loss of $1,586,813 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This represents a loss per common share of $.03 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to a loss per common share of $.02 for the three months ending March 31, 2003; based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 81,564,405 and 65,596,810 during the periods end March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company believes the initial major deployments and the resultant revenues of its Flagship product, the TV+ platform, are not expected until the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, which along with any upturn of spending in the telephone industry will also increase sales and improve the Company's margins and provide the Company with the opportunities to attain profitability.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 VS. MARCH 31, 2003

REVENUE

Total revenues were $4,335,476 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $981,591 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. The increase was attributable primarily to significantly increasing sales of the Company's POTS Splitter product line in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, followed by more modest increases in sales during the second and third quarter of fiscal year 2004, as compared to such quarters in fiscal year 2003.  There remains continued volatility in capital spending in the telecommunications market, including customers that order component products from the Company. The Company continues to believe that its line of POTS Splitter products is positioned to be competitively priced with high reliability and connectivity, and as such has the potential to be a significant part of DSL deployment worldwide. The Company cannot predict future demand for such product line.

COST OF REVENUES

Cost of sales was $3,878,239 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $949,261 in the prior period, represented as a result of a substantial increase in POTS Splitter sales and constituted 89.5% of gross revenues, for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The margins have increased slightly during the current period but not dramatically as spending among the telecommunications providers contracted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and

19


June 30, 2002 respectively remain volatile coupled with downward pressures related to the supply and demand of telecommunications products.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses were $2,858,715 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $2,461,696 during the comparable period in 2003; or an increase of $397,019 from the comparable period in 2003. Such expenditures include $0 incurred with GTRC for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $100,000 during the comparable period in 2003. The Company incurred all of its research and development expenses with vendors including Lucent, Microphase and other strategic vendors for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 which totaled $2,858,715 as compared to $2,361,696 incurred with vendors other than GTRC during the comparable period in 2003.

Such decreases are the result primarily of elimination of further development of the TRAVERSER DVDDS product by GTRC as the Company focuses its efforts on research and development and expenditures associated therewith on the TV+ product with Lucent, which has been comparatively, to date, less expense to develop.

The Company does, however, expect an increase in research and development costs beginning in March, 2004. In order to broaden and diversify its current line of business into additional high growth technology areas, the Company has entered into a Development Agreement, effective February 3, 2004, with the Bell labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. to commercialize the use of nano power cell technology. Under the terms of the $1.2 million contract, Lucent/ Bell Labs will develop for mPhase micro-power source arrays fabricated using nanotextured, superhydrophobic materials. This new business arrangement with Lucent Bell Labs will give mPhase the opportunity to develop and offer breakthrough battery technology applications, initially to government market segments including defense and homeland security, and ultimately to the commercial market. The initial applications for the nano power cell technology will address the need to supply emergency and reserved power to a wide range of electronic devices for the defense department.

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(tm) and the mphase stretch. We believe the mphase ipots(tm) offers a much-needed solution for the DSL industry; the ipots(tm) 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(tm), loop management could not be remotely performed through a conventional pots splitter without dispatching personnel to the field. The unique (patent pending) ipots(tm) circuit allows most test heads to perform both narrow and wideband testing of the local loop through the central office pots splitter without having to physically disconnect the pots splitter, thereby eliminating the need to dispatch personnel and a truckroll. The Company anticipates future demand for this product, as it significantly reduces the cost of deploying and maintaining DSL services.

The changes in Research and Development expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 2003 included the following significant items:

  1. A reduction of expenses with GTRC of $100,000.

  2. An increase of charges from Lucent Technologies of $839,852

  3. A decrease of depreciation related to research and development of $187,091 from $659,767 to $472,676.

  4. A decrease of expenses with Microphase and other strategic vendors of $255,742

Charges from Lucent Technologies Inc. totaled $1,508,602 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $688,750 for the same period ended March 31, 2003.  Such charges consisted of $1,308,602 for development of the TV+ product and $200,000 incurred with respect to the Company's new Nanotechnology product line.

The elements attributing to the decrease in other research and development expenses included a decrease in the operations of the Company's joint venture, mPhase Television.net. The major costs incurred by the joint venture were payroll expenses attributable to research and development of the Company's transmission capabilities and acquisition of television content. Costs incurred by the joint venture during the nine months ending March 31, 2003 were $31,000 as compared to $0 for the nine months ending March 31, 2004.

The elimination of research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the Company's new focus in the development of its TV+ platform and reduced emphasis on its legacy Traverser™ product. The Company's project with Lucent provides for increased features at a reduced cost for its TV+ platform product. To date expenses incurred with respect to such project are $1,508,602 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The Company does, however, expect Research and Development Expenses to increase during fiscal year commencing July 1, 2004 (fiscal year 2005) since its efforts will include both increased expenditures with Lucent Technologies, Inc for development of its iPOTS 3 product, its TV+ platform and its entry into the field of Nanotechnology. The initial applications for the nano pwer cell technology will address the need to supply emergency and reserved power to a wide range of electronic devices for the United States Department of Defense.

Research expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing development of the Company's DSL component products, including the Company's line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Company's newest products, the iPOTS™ and the mPhase Stretch. We believe the mPhase iPOTS™ offers a much needed solution for the DSL industry; the iPOTS™ enables 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 cost effectively. The unique (patent pending) iPOTS™ circuit allows both narrow and wideband testing of the local loop through the central office POTS Splitter by a telephone service provider without having to deploy personnel to the field. The Company anticipates future demand for this product, as it significantly

20


reduces the cost of deploying and maintaining DSL services. The Company has also developed a DSL loop extender product called mPhaseStretch. This product extends the service distance for the mPhase Traverser™ and can be used in conjunction with other DSL services. The Company believes that future demand for the Stretch loop extender product may be found in the international (non U.S.) markets where where the cost of labor to install such product is inexpensive since as it extends the reach from a telephone service providers central office of DSL services.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,196,052 for the nine months ending March 31, 2004, up from $2,167,805 or an increase of $28,247 from the comparable period in 2003. The increase in the selling, general and administrative costs included an increase of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and options to consultants, which totalled $344,940 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $572,640 during the comparable period in 2003, or decrease of $227,700 of such charges.  After adjusting for the change in non-cash charges, all other selling, general and administrative expenses rose $255,947, which primarily consist of an increase of $275,000 in administrative and technical sales payroll and payroll charges to approximately $605,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2003.  We expect sales and travel expenses to continue to grow as the company approaches deployment of its TV + Product.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expense was $100,883 for the nine months ending March 31, 2004, down from $388,106, or a decrease of $287,223 from the comparable period in 2003.  The decrease is a result of the Company's reduced outlays for capital expenditures in its two most recent fiscal years.  We do not expect such downward trend to continue but such depreciation and amortization expense should remain at the current reduced levels until the Company commences deployment of its Television over DSL platforms.  We expect to increase capital expenditures in connecting with the deployment of equipment at test sites with various telecommunications  service providers globally as development of our TV+ product progresses.

NET LOSS

The Company recorded a net loss of $4,899,771 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to a loss of $5,008,209 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. This represents a loss per common share of $.07 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to a loss per common share of $.08 for the nine months ending March 31, 2003 based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of 75,312,485 and 64,238,350 during the periods ending March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Although it is difficult to predict the exact timing of our fist sales, the company believes the initial major deployments and the resultant revenues of its flagship products, the TV+ platform respectively, are not expected until the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, which along with any upturn of spending in the telephone industry, will also increase sales and improve the Company's operating margins and provide the company with the opportunities to attain profitability.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

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

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

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

21


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. The allowance is estimated as the difference between inventory at historical costs, on a first in first out basis, and market based upon assumptions about future demand, current prices and product liability, and charged to the provision for inventory, which is a component of cost of sales. At the point the historical cost is adjusted, a lower cost-basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company reserved approximately $302,000, approximately $928,000, and approximately $315,000, respectively, for technical obsolescence and marketability based upon current prices and overall demand and charged a like amount to expense, representing 8.4% of average inventory, at cost, of approximately $3,588,000 on hand during the period in fiscal 2003; 20.2% of average inventory, at cost, of approximately $4,602,000 on hand during the period in fiscal 2002; and 13.6% of average inventory, at cost, of approximately $2,309,000 on hand during fiscal 2001. The reserve and corresponding charges in fiscal 2002 were increased as the Company experienced a dramatic decrease, along with the entire telephonic industry, in demand for our component products in addition to the decision to table the production of certain product line items built on certain European standards and which the Company does not expect to pursue in the near future. As of June 30, 2003, the Company recorded a cost adjustment of approximately $1,059,000, recognizing permanent cost reductions due to price adjustments approximating

22


$318,000 and reductions due to obsolescence resulting from a lack of inter-operability of certain components in inventory with the Company's present product line approximating $741,000. As a result on June 30, 2003 the Company had a total inventory valuation reserve of $486,500 against its inventory with a total balance, at cost, of $2,589,678, or 18.8%. If there was to be a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products, or if there were a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, we could be required to increase our inventory allowances and our gross margins could be adversely affected.

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 retransmission 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™. 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 2003. 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 March 31, 2004 mPhase had working capital deficit of $1,951,928 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,405,331 at June 30, 2003. Through March 31, 2004, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $112,916,268. At March 31, 2004, the Company had  $1,375,063 of cash, cash equivalents and  $122,291 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.

Historically, mPhase has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily through private placements of common stock. Management expects that its ongoing financial needs will be provided by financing activities and believes that the sales of its line of POTS Splitter products and other related DSL component products will provide some offset to cashflow 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 March 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,375,063 compared to $396,860 at June 30,

23


2003, accounts receivable of $122,291 and net inventory of $1,026,247. This compared to $287,135 of accounts receivable and $2,103,328 of inventory at June 30, 2003.

Cash used in operating activities was $2,665,390 during the nine months ending March 31, 2004. The cash used by operating activities principally consists of the net loss, the net decrease in inventory, the net decrease in accounts receivable offset by the increase in depreciation and amortization, and by non-cash charges for common stock options and warrants issued for services and increased accrued expenses.

The Company has entered into various agreements with GTARC, pursuant to which the Company receives technical assistance in developing the Digital Video and Data Delivery System. The Company has incurred expenses in connection with technical assistance from GTARC totaling approximately $0, $100,000, for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $13,524,300 from the period from inception through March 31, 2004. On February 18, 2004 GTARC converted payables owed by the Company of approximately $1.8 million into a cashless warrant to purchase 5,069,200 shares of common stock based upon a stock valuation of $.35 per share and one promissory note for $100,000 payable in quarterly equal installments of $16,667 commencing March 31, 2004. 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 nine months ending March 31, 2004, strategic vendors (including GTARC) and related parties converted approximately $1,875,640 of accounts payable and accrued expenses into 110,467 shares of the Company's common stock and 5,069,242 warrants.

As of March 31, 2004, mPhase is obligated to pay Lucent Technologies, Inc., the sum of $140,000 per month through May of 2004 for further development of the mPhase TV+ product plus $100,000 per month through December 31, 2004 for development of its new line of Nanotechnology products. MPhase has no other material commitments for capital expenditures.

LOSSES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

From inception (October 2, 1996) through March 31, 2004 the Company had incurred development stage losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $112,916,268 million and a stockholder's deficit of  $2,047,240. Cumulatively and for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $46,280,631 million and $2,665,390, respectively. The report of the Company's outside auditor's, Rosenberg, Rich, Baker,Berman and Company with respect to its latest audited 10K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 stated that "there is substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern". Management estimates that the Company will need to raise approximately $4,000,000 during the next 12 months to fund further research and development and continue operations.

We continue our efforts to raise additional funds through private placements of our common stock and strategic alliances, the proceeds of which are required to fund continuing expenditures and the controlled development stage rollout of our TV+ product and our iPOTS3 product. 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 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 has approximately $1,375,000 of cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2004. Additional investment in technology design to reduce the cost of the TV+ and provide enhanced features will be necessary over the next 12 months. In the long-term, the Company may invest additional funds annually on research and development of the TV+, iPOTS3 and Nanotechnology product lines based upon sales levels, changes to technology and the overall success of the Company attaining sufficient financing until such time as it achieves profitable operations.

Management believes that the recent its current cash position will be sufficient to cover current operating expenses and permit the Company to maintain its present operational levels. Current cash may be supplemeted with additional funds that could be received by investors currently holding warrants to buy approximately 19.8 million shares of mPhase common stock at $.30 per share which are currently in the money.

Should these cash flows not be available to us, we believe we would have the ability to revise our operating plan and make certain further reductions in expenses, so that our resources which were available at March 30, 2004, plus financing to be secured during fiscal year 2005, and expected POTS splitter revenues, will be sufficient to meet our obligations until the end of fiscal year 2005. 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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is not exposed to changes in interest rates as the Company has no debt arrangements and no investments in certain held-to-maturity securities. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of any financial instruments at March 31, 2004.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14c and of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

mPhase was advised in April 2002 that following an investigation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the staff intended to recommend that the Commission file a civil injunctive action against Packetport.com, Inc. ("Packetport") and its Officer's and Directors. Such recommendation related to alleged civil violations by Packetport and such Officers and Directors of various sections of the Federal Securities Laws. The staff has alleged civil violations of Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 13(d) of the Securities Exchanges Act of 1034. As noted in other public filings of mPhase, the CEO and COO of mPhase also serve as Directors and Officers of Packetport. At that time these persons advised mPhase that they deny any violation of law on their part and intend to vigorously contest such recommendation or action, if any. To date no action has been filed against Packetport, its Officers or Directors. mPhase is not named as a party in connection with this matter.

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