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 New York, New York. The Company is a developer and seller of broadband communications products, specifically, digital subscriber line ("DSL") solutions and products for telecommunications service providers around the world. In fiscal year 2004, the Company entered into the field of nanotechnology research and development of micro power cell batteries of various voltages. 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. The Company's recent entry into the field of nanotechnology is focused upon exploratory development of batteries with significantly longer shelf lives and enhanced capabilities. The Company believes that such development is consistent with its strategy of being a pioneer of high growth technology products and potentially diversifies its product mix.

    mPhase introduced its first TV over DSL platform, the Traverser™ Digital Video and Data Delivery System ("DVDDS"), in 1998. The DVDDS is a patented end to end system that enables a telecommunications service provider to deliver up to several hundred channels of motion picture experts group two ("MPEG-2") standard broadcast digital television, high speed internet and voice over copper telephone lines between a central office facility of the provider and a customer's premise. mPhase has not, as yet, derived any material revenues from sales of the DVDDS. The DVDDS is a proprietary technology developed in conjunction with Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) and is one of the first systems of its kind developed.. The system is the only system on the market that utilizes non- Internet Protocol ("IP") transmission over ADSL. The DVDDS is installed at Hart Telephone Company in Hartwell, Georgia, where a limited user system is currently operational. This trial system is being replaced and updated with Version 1.0 of our new TV+ system at Hart Telephone that is expected to be operational with approximately 25 customers and 50 channels of broadcast television during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. 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 new mPhase TV+ system, developed in conjunction with Bell Laboratories division of Lucent Technologies, Inc., is 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 central office (CO) and the customer premises. The TV+ system was developed in conjunction with Bell Laboratories as an outgrowth of mPhase's engagement of Bell Labs in fiscal year 2003 to cost reduce mPhase's set top box that operates with the legacy DVDDS sytem developed by GTRC. The TV+ system replaces the DVDDS system with an open industry standards-based platform. Release 1 of the mPhaseTV+ system is complete and ready for commercial deployment. The TV+ system delivers 255 broadcast television channels over ADSL and utilizes an industry-leading, standards-based Lucent Technologies, Inc.'s Stinger™ DSL Access Concentrator for transport of digital television plus high speed internet and voice. The mPhase TV+ system consists of a powerful software platform and a cost reduced set top box located in a telephone customer's premises plus the Lucent

Stinger located at the CO or in the loop servicing the customer.

The mPhase TV+ system provides comprehensive end to end management of delivery of digital broadcast television by interfacing with the Stinger and a video headend built by a telephone service provider to downlink broadcast television programming from satellites. mPhase software manages the broadcast television compressed 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+ system results in a highly scalable architecture for the delivery of broadcast television. This is accomplished by internally multicasting each television channel for delivery from the CO to a larger number of end users. Release 1.0 of the TV+ system is capable of distributing 255 channels of broadcast television simultaneously to 455 customers by one Lucent Stinger DSLAM concentrator. 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-standards solution.

    The Company believes that the demand for the TV+ system will be greatest 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. Release 1.0 of the mPhase TV+ system completed in July of 2004 does not contain features such as the delivery of two or more TV channels over a single DSL copper telephone line, video on demand, or interactive TV. Release 2.0 of the TV+, available in late September of 2004, contains the same basic characteristics of Release 1.0 plus an enhanced electronic program guide. Releases 1.0 and 2.0 of the TV+ system are designed to operate only with the Lucent Stinger DSLAM.

Release 3.0 of the TV+ solution, expected to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, will utilize a communications framework based upon Internet Protocol (IP) instead of Asynchornous Transfer Mode (ATM) that is utilized by Releases 1.0 and 2.0. ATM is an industry standard for transportation of data based upon a packaging of information into a fixed-size cell format for transportation across networks. Many telecommunications service providers currently deploy equipment that handles this protocol because it can support voice, video, data and multimedia applications simultaneously with a high degree of reliability. IP is another transport protocol that maintains network information and routes packets across networks. IP packets are larger and can hold more data than ATM cells. Historically, there have been concerns that service providers would be unable to provide the same quality of service with IP because it is not optimized for time-sensitive signals such as broadcast television and voice . Nevertheless, there is a greater demand by telecommunication service providers for IP systems for delivery of television, voice and high-speed data because such systems are significantly more cost effective to deploy based upon greater scalability.

Release 3.0 of the TV+ system will operate with both the Lucent Stinger as well as the DSLAM's of other major vendors. Release 3.0 of the TV system will also be able to send multiple TV channels down a single DSL line using ADSL2 supported DSLAM's and be capable of delivery of Video on Demand. As ADSL technology migrates forward to ADSL2 or ADSL2+, mPhase plans to include additional features in future versions of the TV+ system in a scalable, cost - effective manner depending upon actual market demand for such features in markets that mPhase is targeting. In addition, mPhase will be continuously updating its set top box to be used as part of the TV+ system and as a stand - alone product.

    In 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 systems enabling delivery of broadcast television 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 experienced in negotiation contracts with broadcast television programming providers for U.S. markets. mPhase TV has secured licenses to resell programming for a significant number of channels of U.S. broadcast television over DSL. mPhase TV is capable of providing and arranging with packagers of television content a full complement of broadcast television channel content for U.S. telecommunications service providers that may be sent over DSL. 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. 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 i POTS 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 i POTS, and i POTS3 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 deploying and supporting DSL services. Currently our i POTS 1 is designed for use with the Lucent Stinger, whereas, the iPOTS3 is compatible with DSLAM's manufactured by other vendors. mPhase has a non-exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with Corning Cable Systems for the sale of the i POTS products and continues to market such products directly.

As noted above, mPhase has recently entered the business of nanotechnology that utilizes the latest scientific research in molecular engineering, quantum physics and electrochemistry to create new advances in products. In February of 2004, mPhase entered into a Development Agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc. focusing upon the development of battery and power cell products initially targeted initially for military applications. The discipline of developing new products utilizing nanotechnology fabrication is in its early stages of exploratory development making it difficult to predict the timing of product releases and future revenues. mPhase believes that these reserve batteries with exceptionally long shelf lives, very small size and high power density may be one of the first products resulting from nanotechnology research and development to achieve commercial viability.

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 20 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 ™


Back to Contents

DSL Access Concentrator.

    On December 9, 2002, pursuant to a Statement of Work, Lucent commenced development of the Broadcast Television Switch 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.

Effective September 15, 2003, mPhase entered into a Development Agreement with the Bell Laboratories division of Lucent

Technologies, Inc. for further development and completion by May of 2004 of Version 1.0 of such TV+ platform.

Effective February 3, 2004, mPhase entered into a Development Agreement with the Bell Laboratories division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. for the development of micro power source arrays fabricated using nanotextured superhydorphobic materials.

    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, our iPOTS products or our nanotechnology products. In our fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 we generated approximately $4.5 million and $1.6 million in revenue, respectively, from the commercial sale of our component products and overall losses for such years of $7,758,586 and $6,650,211, 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

Television over DSL Platform

    Our primary business is to develop and market our TV+ system that is 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 TV+ system is 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 liv ing 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.

    The legacy 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 is currently deploying its TV+ platform at Hart Telephone to replace the DVDDS and such deployment is expected to be completed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005.

   In July of 2004, mPhase completed Release 1.0 of its TV+ system 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+system consist of a cost reduced set top box located in a telephone customer's premises and central office equipment consisting of the Lucent Stinger DSL equipment plus new mPhase systems management software that manages the broadcast television data prior to delivery by the Lucent Stinger to a customer.

    The mPhase TV+ system 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+system 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.

     Our goal is to achieve wide acceptance of our TV+ system 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 future versions of the 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 end to end flexible solution. Under our Co-Branding Agreement with Lucent, mPhases'sModel 400 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 Version 1.0 of 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. Future versions of the TV+ platform will be designed to be compatible with both the Stinger as well as DSLAM's manufactured by other vendors.

    Since the mPhaseTV+ system is a standards-based platform, 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 legacy Traverser™DVDDS. Finally, by utilizing the Lucent Stinger for transport of digital broadcast television and data Version 1.0 of the TV+ 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™DVDDS has been reduced in size and costs by Lucent as part of Release 1.0 of the TV+ platform. This product called the mPhase Model 400 is a low-cost set-top box developed specifically for delivering (MPEG2) standard video bitstreams over DSL links. mPhase's current set top box contains an internal modem that receives standard asynchronous transfer mode protocol used for video and data transport over DSL. 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 Aysymmetric 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 economically feasible.

    The Company believes the initial major deployments and the revenues for its flagship television platform, the TV+ will not occur prior to the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Such deployments together with an upturn of spending in the telephone industry should increase sales and improve the Company's margins and provide the Company with the opportunity to attain profitability.

Other DSL 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


Back to Contents

The mPhase i POTS and i POTS 3 are innovative products for the DSL industry that enables remote and cost effective testing of a copper telephone loop for DSL deployment by a telephone service provider. Loop management and maintenance including line testing, qualification and troubleshooting from a telecommunication service providers central office (CO) can be accomplished by use of these products. Prior to the introduction by mPhase of the i POTS product line, testing by a telephone company of its copper wires for DSL, qualification and troubleshooting required the dispatching of personnel to the field. Thus the i POTS product reduces the cost for a telephone service provider seeking to deploy and maintain DSL services. The (patent pending) i POTS and new i POTS3 products allow both wideband and narrowband testing of a telephone service provider's copper loop. The i POTSi is designed for use with the Lucent Stinger, whereas, the i POTS3 product is co mpatible with any vendors DSLAM.

 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.

Nanotechnology Products

   Effective February 3, 2004, mPhase entered into a Research and Development Agreement with the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. for exploratory development of micro power cell battery arrays employing nantextured superhydrophobic materials for $1.2 million. Under the terms of the contract, the Company will share in royalties from any licensing of the products developed with Lucent. mPhase believes that the initial market for the product will be military applications and that a prototype of the product will be completed by the end of the second quarter in fiscal year 2005.

Target Market

    mPhase's primary target market for the TV+ digital broadcast television delivery platform 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 continued during the two fiscal years of mPhase ending June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 respectively with some improvement in fiscal year ending June 30,2004. The dramatic pull back in equipment purchased by service providers from its peak commencing at the end of calendar year 2000, 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 four 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 continuation of the upturn in capital spending during fiscal year 2005, however, ser vice 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.  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 produ ct 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.

    Another video over DSL solution currently deployed at SasTel in Saskatchewan Canada by a former division of Lucent Technologies, Inc that was divested and is now an independent company in 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 systems software developed for mPhase coupled with the strength of the data-centric Lucent Stinger make its TV+ system solution 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..

    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. We currently have no contracts in place for the manufacturing of our products with either Microphase Corporation or Janifast Ltd. or any other non-affiliated third party manufacturers. We periodically execute purchase orders for the manufacture of quantities of POTS Splitters that are produced by Janifast Ltd.

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 has out sourced the 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. development of its new mPhase TV+ system. With respect to manufacturing of its TV+-system, 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 avoid the substantial capital investments required for internal production.

    As described in detail on page 4, 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 set top box. Such agreement is for an initial period of one year and is subject to renewal on an annual basis by mutual

consent. In addition, the Company has entered into a Systems Integrator Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2003 designating the Company as a reseller of the Lucent Stinger DSL transport product when bundled as part of the mPhase TV+ platform globally. Such agreement gives mPhase the exclusive right to sell the TV+ product worldwide containing the Lucent Stinger as the DSL transport mechanism for delivering broadcast television, high speed data and voice over copper telephone wires. In order to qualify for such status, as an accredited reseller, Lucent Technologies, Inc. determined that the Company's TV+ platform added significant software and hardware value to the Stinger DSL product by enabling such product to deliver broadcast television over ADSL in addition to the Stinger's well known existing world - -class capabilities for the delivery of voice and high-speed data over copper telephone lines. Such agreement is for an initial two year term provided that either party may cancel such agreement with 60 days notice to the other party.

As a member of the Lucent Business Partner organization, mPhase is able to leverage established relationships with an existing Stinger customer base without having to expand its sales force. To date there are approximately 4 million ports of the Stinger deployed

around the world. mPhase and the Lucent Global Business Partners group are also targeting other Business partners in markets where there currently is a lack of cable television infrastructure.

mPhase has also outsourced to the Bell Laboratories Division of Lucent Technologies its research and development efforts in the nanotechnology area aimed at developing power cells and batteries with enhanced shelf lives and other features not currently available in batteries. Such focus is initially upon the development of batteries for military applications using nanotextured materials.

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 thi rd 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:

 

Low pass filter shelves and POTS Splitters, which separate and combine the DSL spectrum from the traditional voice service;

 

ADSL filters, which are filters that conform to the worldwide DSL standard and are utilized in the transmission of data and voice service; and

 

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


Back to Contents

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.

mPhase is currently reviewing with Georgia Tech Research Corporation the value of the Patents and Patents Pending with respect to the Traverser DVDDS product and the cost of maintaining such Patents in the United States and selected countries outside of the United States. The Company intends to maintain only such Patents relating to the Traverser DVDDS platform that could have future value either with respect to future deployments of its legacy product or which may create legal barriers to entry against potential competitors.

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 our TV+ platform, in particular, which is not currently the protected by any patents or the subject of any patents pending, 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 TV+ is FCC Part 15 compliant.

    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, 2004, we had been billed a cumulative total of approximately $13,563,000 for research and developmen t conducted by GTARC.

Version 1.0 of our TV+ system was completed in July of 2004 by the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. under a contract entered into September 15, 2003, for an aggregate cost of approximately $1.2 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, 2004 we have been billed a cumulative total of approximately $3,105,545 for research and development conducted by Lucent, of which we have paid approximately $2,725,545.

In addition, our advanced battery and power cell technology research and development is being performed by the Bell Labs division of Lucent under the terms of a contract for a cost of approximately $1.2 million.

Employees

    mPhase presently has 15 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

The Company has recently entered into the new and emerging business of nanotechnology which entails significant development and commercial risk.

   The Company is spending a total of $1.2 million pursuant to a contract with Lucent Technologies, Inc. to perform exploratory development of a power cell for military applications. Even if a prototype product is successfully developed, pure research involves a high degree of risk with significant uncertainty as to whether a commercially viable product will result.

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

    The market price of our common stock closed at $7.56 on June 30, 2000 and closed at $.28 on June 30, 2004. Stocks in telelecommunications equipment providers of DSL products have been very volatile during such period. Our common stock is a highly speculative investment and is suitable only for such investors with financial resources that enable them to sustain the loss of their entire investment in such stock. Because the price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and is not traded on the NASDAQ National or NASDAQ Small Cap exchanges, it is considered to be a "penny stock" limiting the type of customers that broker/dealers can sell to. Such customers consist only of "established customers" and "Accredited Investors" (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended-generally individuals and entities of substantial net worth) thereby limiting the liquidity of our common stock.

We have reported net losses for each of our fiscal years from our inception in 1996 through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and may not be able to operate profitability in the future.

    We have had substantial operating losses since our inception in 1996 (including $7,758,586 and $6,649,011 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, respectively and cannot be certain when or if we will ever be profitable. We expect to continue to have net losses for the foreseeable future and have a need to raise not less than $5-10 million in additional cash in the next 12 months through further offerings to continue operations. We have never been profitable from our inception in October, 1996 through June 30, 2004 and we have incurred (a) accumulated losses of $115,775,083 and a stockholder's deficit of $2,917,962 and (b) cumulative negative cash flow from operations of $47,984,151. As of June 30, 2004 we have negative working capital of $2,111,452.

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

    The reports of the Company's outside auditors' Rosenberg, Rich, Baker, Berman & Company with respect to its latest audited 10K for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, June 30, 2003, June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 stated that "there is substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern." Such opinion from our outside auditors makes it significantly more difficult and expensive for the Company raise additional needed capital necessary to continue our operations.

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

    As of August 9, 2004, we have warrants and options outstanding convertible into approximately 56,841,287 shares and 16,440,000 shares of mPhase common stock which, upon conversion, may adversely affect the future price of our common stock. As of June 30, 2004 we have warrants and options convertible into approximately 34,819,589 shares of our common stock at $.30 per share or less that, upon exercise will generate proceeds of approximately $9,254,000, may 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, 2004, the Company has approximately 666,668 shares of common stock reserved for the issuance upon the conversion of certain 12% convertible notes to related parties at $.25 per share which may adversely affect the future price of our common stock .We may be forced to raise additional cash for operations by selling additional shares of our common stock at depressed prices causing further dilution to our shareholders. Certain warrants with key vendors are subject to cashless exercise and may be immediately exercised with no resulting proceeds to the Company.

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS

We have been a development-stage company since our inception in 1996 and have not to date had a significant deployment of either of our main platforms for delivery of television over DSL.

    We have had to date no material revenues derived from sales of our Traverser™ Digital Video Data Delivery System (DVDDS) or our mPhaseTV+ sustem or our line of Intelligence POTS Splitters. There have been to date no major deployments of Television over DSL by telephone service providers globally and there currently is uncertainty as to the extent, if at all, that deployments will occur in the future.

We depend upon outsourcing of our research and product development of our television platforms to an outside entity.

   We depend upon Lucent for the successful development of our TV+ System and in exploratory research and development of our Nanotechnology products and our business would be materially adversely affected if Lucent were to terminate our relationship.

The loss of key personnel could adversely effect our business

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

Economic support from affiliated companies has been significant during the downturn in the telecommunications industry.

    Both Microphase corporation, and Janifast Ltd. have provided significant financial support to mPhase during fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003 in the form of either cash infusions or conversions of related party debt. Such companies, which share common management with mPhase, are under no legal obligation to and may not be able to sustain such economic support of mPhase in the future should such support be necessary.

Sales and margins from our component DSL products have varied dramatically during the past three years and remain volatile.

    Sales and gross margins from our POTS Splitter and other DSL products have experienced a significant decline during the period from June 30, 2001 through June 30, 2003 as a result of the significant downturn in capital spending by telecommunications service providers. Although there has been a recovery in such sales, and to a lesser extent margins, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004 the outlook for continuing growth in sales remains uncertain. Failure to achieve significant sales with adequate gross margins with respect to our component DSL products will negatively effect the cash available to the Company prior to commencement of sales of our flagship television platforms thereby having a negative effect upon the overall financial condition of the Company and the price of our common stock.

We rely on single sources for supply of a certain component for out POTS splitter product that has been the source of all of our revenues to date.

    We purchase the core torroid which is a key component in our POTS Splitter Product from VAC corporation. We purchase such component on a purchase order basis and have no long term contract for the supply of such component. The loss of this current source of supply could result in us having to redesign our product at additional cost and result in lost revenues from our main source of sales to date.

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

    Although our Traverser™ DVDDS television platform is patent-protected and not the subject of any infringement allegations we do not have currently patents or patents pending for our TV+ product. 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.

     RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR TARGETED MARKETS

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

    We expect the majority of our future revenues to be derived from international emerging markets and our success depends upon our ability to sell our flagship television platforms outside of the United States where political, currency and regulatory risks are significantly greater. As a result of their distance from the United States, different time zones, culture, management and language differences, these operations pose greater risk than selling in the United States. Our sales cycle for our TV over DSL platforms is lengthy (since it involves a major strategic decision by an international telecommunications service provider) and we may incur significant marketing expenses with no guarantee of future sales. A significant market for our Traverser™ DVDDS, mPhaseTV+ products may never develop if international telephone service providers fail to successfully deploy broadband services including high speed data and television Telephone service providers worldwide have significantly decreased capital expenditures for broadband and other deployment as a result of the current economic downturn in the industry. Future market demand that will cause telephone service providers to continue to aggressively roll out DSL, in general, and ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ in particular, is highly unpredictable especially in markets outside of the United States. Certain telephone companies (especially in developing international economies) may have copper wire infrastructure that is not of sufficient quality to accommodate the Traverser™ or mPhaseTV+ platform. Currency fluctuations, changes in foreign taxes and import duties and economic and political instability in international markets pose a greater risk to our operations than U.S. markets.

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

    Our mPhaseTV+ platform may fail to meet foreign regulatory standards. Since our targeted markets for our Television platforms involves countries outside of the United States, such products are subject to greater regulatory risks since they must comply with different standards of different countries than can vary widely in the telecommunications industry. The failure to meet such regulatory standards would result in potential customers in countries outside of the United States not purchasing our television platforms.

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

    The Telecommunications equipment industry is subject to swift and continuing innovation and technological changes that could render our TV+ system obsolete and intense competition in the industry could prevent our ever becoming profitable. Our competitors that sell DSL systems that compete with the Traverser™ and mPhaseTV+ system include much larger and better known and capitalized companies with significantly greater selling and marketing experience and financial resources such as ADC, Alcatel S.A., Calix Catena Networks, Copper Mountain, Advanced Fiber Communications, ECT Telecommunications, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Marconi, Motorola, NEC, Nortel, Huawei Technologies, Net to Net Technology, Nokia, UTS Starcom, DVTEL, Inc., Turnstone, Paradyne Networks, Samsung, 2 Wire, Siemens, TuT Systems, and Optibase Wesell. We also face competition from companies that provide infrastructure software products to deliver multi-channel digital television over telephone such as Imagic TV, Minerva Corporation and Myrio Corporation. Telephone service providers that are our targeted customers face competition from cable-based technologies, fixed wireless technologies and satellite technologies that may cause them not to deploy our Traverser™ DVDDS or TV+ products.

Deployment of our television platforms requires certain additional investments by telecommunications service providers.

    Our Customers may need to build a digital head-end to download television content from satellites involving a significant additional capital expenditure to utilize the digital television capabilities of our TV+ system. Such additional capital costs to build a digital head-end may cause potential customers not to purchase our television platforms.

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

    The market for our broadcast digital television platforms over DSL is characterized by:

    Rapid technology change;


Back to Contents

 New and improved product introductions;

    Changing customer Demands; and

    Evolving industry standards and product obsolescence.

    Our future success will depend upon our ability to continually enhance our existing broadcast digital television platforms as Asymetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology migrates forward to ADSL2 and ADSL2+ with enhanced features such as the ability to deliver multiple television channels to one set top box and continually cost-reduce our platforms consistent with the demands of telecommunications service providers. The development of enhanced and new technology, products and services is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, highly-skilled engineering and development personnel, and the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We may not be able to identify, develop, market or support new or enhanced technology, products, or services on a timely basis, if at all owing to our size and limited financial resources.

Telecommunications Service Providers outside of the United States must be able to access sources for Broadcast Television Content in order to deploy our either of our Television Platforms.

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

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 is a development-stage company that historically develops, markets and sells a line of innovative DSL based broadband communications equipment. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 the mPhase entered into the field of nanotechnology focused initially upon power cell and battery development with military applications as an additional business segment The Bell labs division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. has been engaged by mPhase to perform research and development under a $1.2 million Development Agreement of a power cell that will have a relatively unlimited shelf life and other advantages for soldiers in the field (such as lack of detection) . Such product is expected to be ready for sale in approximately 18 months.

mPhase has designed and is currently engaged in commercialization of the Company's primary flagship product, the TV+ solution that enables 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 that has been replaced by the TV+ platform at Hart Telephone Company in Georgia and establishing a core administrative and sales organization. The Company believes that its TV + System provide the most cost effective, reliable and scaleable solution for many telephone companies seeking to provide broadcast television, high-speed interne t and voice utilizing Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, or ADSL technology. Out TV + Solution is designed for markets primarily outside of the United States where there is a lack of fiber-optic infrastructure necessary to deliver cable television. In August of 2004, Release 1.0 of mPhase's TV+ product was completed and is such product is currently available to deploy by telecommunications service providers.

Subsequent versions of the TV+ product will include enhanced features and reduced costs with the goal of providing telecommunications service providers a compelling solution for the delivery of voice, high-speed internet and digital broadcast television over copper telephone lines. In fiscal year 2004, the Company shifted its research and development focus and resources away from the legacy DVDDS product, consisting of proprietary architecture developed by Georgia Tech Research Corporation, to the open standards-based TV+ platform and began exploratory development of products using the science of nanotechnology, developed by the Bell Labs Division of Lucent Technology Inc.

Our TV+ platform requires a telecommunications service provider to build a digital video head-end to downlink channels of broadcast television programming from satellites. The cost of building a digital head end has been substantially reduced in the past few years as off the shelf technology has become less expensive. Such equipment includes a satellite receiving dish, video grooming equipment and mPhase's system management software necessary for managing the video content. mPhase does not manufacture such digital head-end equipment.

Our TV+ product utilizes asymmetric DSL (more bandwidth downstream than upstream) which is well-suited for the delivery of broadcast television and high-speed internet.

    mPhase also designs and markets a line of DSL component products ranging from commodity items such as POTS splitters to innovative loop management products. To date, all sales revenue has been derived from sales of its POTS splitters and related low-pass filter products. mPhase expects to derive its first material revenues from sales of its TV+ product during fiscal year 2005.

mPhase's suite of DSL products also includes the i POTS3 or Intelligent POTS Splitter product that marks a significant advancement in automating loop management and is interoperable with the 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 i POTS3 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, s ervice providers would have to manually intervene so that test signals could be passed through the network. mPhase has not derived any sales of such product to date but believes that such product could provide an additional revenue stream for mPhase in fiscal year 2005.

    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 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.

    The Company has incurred net losses totaling approximately $115,775,083 million during the development of its flagship product from inception through June 30, 2004. 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. In the first quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the Company experienced a significant increase in revenues from its POTS splitter product which resulted in revenues increasing from approximately $2.5 million in fiscal year 2003 to approximately $4.6 million in fiscal year 2004.The Company believes that it will commence receiving revenues in fiscal year 2005 from initial commercial deployments of its TV+ product. 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 TV+ are not expected to occur until the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. An upturn of spending in the telephonic industry for DSL component products should increase sales and improve the Company's margins and provide the Company the opportunity to 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 TV+ platform to various telecommunications service providers but does anticipate some sales in fiscal year 2005. Since the Company believes that there may be a significant international market for the TV+ platform, 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 continued instability of the telecommunications market evidenced by reduced in capital spending from its peak in fiscal year 2001 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. Microphase does not share in revenues from sales of the TV+ product.

    Research and development. Research and development expenses consist principally of payments made to Lucent and for development of the TV+ product and Nanotechnology products. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the company incurred non-cash research and development stock based employee compensation of $52,000 and an additional $20,000 non-cash stock based expense for consultants.

    General and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in direct marketing of the TV+ platform, 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 $36,900 and $23,563, for the fiscal years ended 2004 and 2003, 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, 2004 VS. JUNE 30, 2003

    Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2004 increased to $4,641,346 from $1,581,639 for the year ended June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales of the Company's POTS Splitter product line especially during the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, caused by an upturn in July and August of 2004 of orders from one customer that orders component products from the Company. The Company continues to believe that its line of POTS Splitter products is positioned to be competitively priced with high reliability and connectivity, and as such has the potential to be significant part of DSL deployment. The Company cannot predict when the demand for telecommunication equipment will resume, however we do not expect significant sales in the first two quarters of fiscal 2005.

    Cost of revenues. Cost of sales was $4,068,255 for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $1,493,394 in the year ended June


Back to Contents

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

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

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

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

    Research expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing development of the Company's DSL component products, including the Company's line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Company's newest products, the iPOTS™.

General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,177,961 for the year ended June 30, 2004 up from $2,683,534 for the comparable period in 2003, an increase of $149,427.  The increase in the selling, general and administrative costs was primarily the result of the addition of a number of new employees critical to the Company's needs in developing, marketing and selling the TV+ and NanoTechnology product lines with Lucent a respectively.

Included is an increase of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and options to consultants, which totaled $1,010,895 for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $477,836 during the comparable period in 2003. Other components of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were increases in payroll of approximately $461,226 to $953,602, increase in the use of outside consultants of approximately $251,103 to $987,720, marketing expenses such as trade shows of $30,148 to $40,347, and advertising expenses of $20,439 to $21,948, all of which approximated $1,295,975 or 87% of the increase in spending.

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

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. Gross 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™ c ircuit 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, or approximately 59% in fiscal 2003 as a percentage of these expenses in Fiscal 2002. 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 response to the current contraction in the telecommunications equipment market. Other components of the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses were decreases in executive compensation and payroll and related costs by approximately $775,000, marketing expenses such as trade shows by approximately $250,000, occupancy costs by approximately $290,000, shareholder services and related expenses by approximately $190,000, insurance and risk management costs by approximately $145,000 and various decreases in other administrative categories aggregating approximating $490,000, all of which approximated reductions of general and administrative other than non-cash charges of $2,125,000. We do not expect such downward trend to continue but these expenses should remain at the current reduced levels until the Company commences deployment of its Television over DSL platforms. When the Company begins its marketing effort to roll out its DSL platform products, administrative and selling payroll and related costs will increase as the Company takes on new employees.

    Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and Amortization expense was $515,417 in fiscal 2003 as compared to $670,183 for 2002. These expenses decreased $154,766, or approximately 23% of the prior year's expense, as a result of the Company's reduced need for and outlays on capital expenditures in its two preceding 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 deployment of our TV+ product progresses and such equipent will need to be depreciated or amortized, as the case may be.

    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.

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 i POTS Splitter products, low pass filters and POTS Splitters and the legacy DVDDS product. Currently mPhase major research and development is performed by the Bell Laboratories division of Lucent Technologies, Inc. in connection with its TV platforms as well as exploratory development of nanotechnology products.

    For the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and for the period since inception (October 2, 1996) to June 30, 2004, approximately $0, $450,000, 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 GTARC to Lucent Technologies Inc. in connection with its TV+ product as well as its entry into the nanotechnology product area. Such new research and development during Fiscal Year 2004 was (a) for completion of Version 1.0 of the TV+ product and (b) entry into the nanotechnology product area focused initially on power cells and batteries designed for military applications . The Company incurred research and development expenses with Lucent for fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 of $1,837,044 and $1,112500, respectively.

    On February 18, 2004, the Company and GTRC and GTARC entered into an Agreement to convert approximately $1.8 million in remaining payables outstanding to GTRC and exchange mutual releases in consideration for a cashless warrant to purchase 5,069,200 shares of the Company's common stock through 2008 plus a $100,000 term promissory note representing past and future minimum royalties payable with respect to patents associated the Traverser DVDDS product from the Company to GTRC. 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 and may receive a royalty of up to 5% of product sales from such product. The Company is currently reevaluating the value of maintaining patent protection in the United States and a number of other companies with respect to certain patents and patents pending with respect to the Traverser DVDDS legacy product and is accordingly in the process of renegotiating downward the amount and the current payment schedule for the $100,000.

    The amount of research and development costs the Company has expended from October 2, 1996, its inception date, through June 30, 2004 is $38,416,800. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $3,669,723 related to the continued development of its current TV platforms and other DSL products and services as compared to $3,538,305 for the same period ended June 30,2003. In addition the Company incurred research and development expenses for the first time in fiscal year 2004 of $400,000 for its nanotechnology products.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES IMPLEMENTED

    mPhase Technologies, Inc. has a non exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with Corning Cable Systems to resell mPhase's line of "intelligent" DSL component products including the iPOTS3, as well as its other "intelligent" products.

    In addition, the Company has entered into a Co-Branding Agreement with Lucent for its redesigned cost reduced set top box portion of its TV+ platform. 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+ system. In addition the Company and Lucent share jointly in certain intellectual property being developed with respect to disposable power cells which is the subject of exploratory development using the science of nanotechnology.

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.


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 that 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

<R>

    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 for grants to employees using the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company 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.

</R>

    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

<R>

    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 differ ence between inventory at historical cost, 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, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company decreased its net reserve by approximately $98,000, and increased its net reserve by approximately $302,000, and approximately $928,000, respectively, for technical obsolescence and marketability based upon current prices and overall demand and charged a like amount to expense, representing a decrease in the reserve of 5.9% of average inventory , at cost, of approximately$1,671,000 on hand during the period in fiscal 2004, an increase in the reserve of 8.4% of average inventory, at cost, of approximately $3,588,000 on hand during the period in fiscal 2003 and 20.2% of average inventory, at cost, of approximately $4,602,000 on hand during the period in fiscal 2002. 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, 2004, the Company record ed a cost adjustment against the reserve of approximately $86,902, recognizing permanent cost reductions due to price adjustments and further reduced the reserve for reductions due to obsolescence resulting from a lack of inter-operability of certain components in inventory with the Company's present product line approximating $11,212. As a result on June 30, 2004 the Company had a total inventory valuation reserve of $388,235 against its inventory with a total balance, at cost, of $1,627,207, or 24%. 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At June 30, 2004 mPhase had a working capital deficit of $2,111,452 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,405,331 as of June 30, 2003. The Company believes this will be sufficient for its short-term liquidity. During fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 it is estimated that the Company will need to raise approximately $5-10 million to meet longer term liquidity needs through June 30, 2005. 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 DVDDS platform or the new set top box that might occur in fiscal year 2005. Finally, (depending upon sales and margins in fiscal year 2005) additional capital may be required to fund a portion of any growth necessary in o perations.

    Included in the Company's working capital position at June 30, 2004, were the conversions of approximately $1.96 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to related parties and strategic vendors to equity, $579,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to a strategic vendor. With respect to such $579,000 accounts payable, approximately $405,000 had previously been re-classified as notes payable current and the balance of $174,000 has been converted into $289,500 of payables and accrued expenses due to a strategic vendor expected to be converted to equity in fiscal 2005; consisting of a $150,000 current portion and $159,500 long term portion of Notes payable.

Through June 30, 2004, the Company has incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $115,775,083. At June 30, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $90,045 compared to $396,860 at June 30, 2003. 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, 2004, the Company had accounts receivable of $64,100 and inventory of approximately $1.2 million. This compared to $287,135 of accounts receivable and approximately $2.1 million of inventory at June 30, 2003.

    Cash used in operating activities was $4,047,501 million during the twelve months ending June 30, 2004. For fiscal 2004 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, 2004, net cash of approximately $144,894 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 $450,000, $100,000 and $0 for the years ended 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and $13,539,952 from the period from inception through June 30, 2004. As noted above, on February 18, 2004, the Company and GTRC and GTARC entered into an agreement to convert all amounts outstanding of approximately $1.8 million and exchange mutual Releases in consideration for one term Notes totaling $100,000 plus a cashless warrant to purchase 5,069,200 shares of the Company's common stock through 2009.The Company is the exclusive worldwide licensee of the technology developed by GTARC in conjunction with the DVDDS product line. Upon sales by mPhase of the DVDDS platform GTRC may receive a royalty of up to 5% of prod uct sales.

    During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004, the Company raised capital through private placements with accredited investors, and the exercise of previously outstanding warrants whereby the Company issued 1,233,334 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the exercise of previously outstanding warrants generating net proceeds to the Company of $316,800 and 15,177,973 of the Company's common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants at exercise prices ranging from of $.30 to $.50 per share, generating gross proceeds of $4,474,713 of which $886,000 were collected in July, 2004.. The Company incurred $313,200 of cash expenses and issued 628,826 warrants, each to purchase one share of its common stock at prices ranging from $.30 to $.50 per share to finders, consultants and investment banking firms in connection with these private placements.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 certain strategic vendors and related parties converted approximately $2.7 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses into 7,492,996 shares of the Company's common stock and 5,953,490 warrants. Such vendors include Microphase Corporation, Janifast, Ltd., and Piper Rudnick LLP, mPhase's outside counsel.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, certain strategic vendors and related parties converted approximately $1.9 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses into 5,923,333 shares of the Company's common stock and 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.

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

LOSSES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

    Through June 30, 2004, the Company incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $115,775,083, and at June 30, 2004 had a working capital deficit of $2,111,452 The primary reason for the deterioration in the Company's working capital position at June 30, 2004, 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, 2004 the Company's efforts to maintain a manageable working capital position included conversions of (i) approximately $1.96 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to related parties and strategic vendors to equity, (ii) approximately $579,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to a strategic vendor into notes payable and equity, of which a minimum of approximately $289,000 is expected to be converted to equity in fiscal 2005. At June 30, 2004, the Company had $90,045 of cash and cash equivalents and $64,100 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.

    During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 the Company was able to negotiate extended payment terms for overdue accounts payable with strategic vendors. These obligations are now classified as notes payable and included in current and long-term portions of notes payable in the accompanying balance sheets, based upon the revised payment terms. The company believes they can maintain its present repayment schedule, or otherwise renegotiate such terms that are satisfactory to the Company and these vendors.

    On December 31, 2003, the Company became in arrears with respect to $420, 872 of a balloon payment on a Note payable to its outside law firm, Piper & Rudnick LLC. Subsequent to June 30, 2004, the Company successfully rescheduled with such law firm the overdue Note plus accrued interest thereon and canceled 50% of approximately $118,000 of additional legal fees. On September 3, 2004, the Company paid $100,000 in cash to such law firm and agreed to issue cashless warrants to purchase an additional 500,000 shares of its common stock valued at $.25 per share in exchange for cancellation of $150,000 of the payable. In addition the Company is obligated to pay $25,000 on each of December 1, 2004, March 1, 2005, June 1, 2005, March 1, 2006, June 1, 2006, September 1, 2006 and payments of $50,000 and $75,000 respectively on December 1, 2005 and 2006. It should be noted that Piper & Rudnick hold warrants received in March of 2001 in exchange for cancellation of certain payables. Suc h warrants have conversion rights into our common stock for 2,233,490 shares that may be registered under a recently filed Registration Statement, pending effectiveness, and are cashless.

    The Company believes that it will be able to complete the necessary steps in order to meet its cash flow requirements throughout fiscal 2005 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 2005 based upon certain assumptions, including our ability to raise additional financing and initial expected sales of our TV+ product. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise approximately $5-10 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 enhance the features and reduce the cost of the TV+ platform will be necessary over the next 12 m onths. In addition, the Company is currently obligated to pay $100,000 per month to Lucent for development of its power cell and battery products using nanotechnology.

    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, 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 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, 2004. 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

A certain strategic vendor received a warrant received in February of 2004 in exchange for cancellation of certain payables. 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

SECTION 16 (A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

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 is rolling out its TV+ platform to 25 test customers of Hart Telephone which is expected to be completed by September 15, 2004. A member of mPhase's Board of Directors is employed by Lintel, Inc., the parent corporation of Hart Telephone. Mr. Durando, the President and CEO of mPhase, owns a controlling interest and is a director and COB 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 and is a director and shareholder of Janifast Limited. Microphase, Janifast, Hart Telephone and Lintel Corporation are significant shareholders of mPhase.

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.

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, 2004 and June 30, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), cash flows and Schedule II (Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, Item 14B) for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004 and for the period from inception (October 2, 1996) to June 30, 2004. 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, 2004 totals of the statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows and reflect total net loss of 78 percen t 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material accounting misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of mPhase Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004 and for the period from inception to June 30, 2004, 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, 2004

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

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

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

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

    On March 2, 2000 the Company acquired a 50% interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net, Inc., an incorporated joint venture with AlphaStar International, Inc. (Note 8) for $20,000. The Company acquired an additional interest in the joint venture of 6.5% in April of 2000 for $1.5 million. Based on its controlling interest in mPhaseTelevision.Net, the operating results of mPhaseTelevision.Net are included in the consolidated results of the Company since March 2, 2000.

    The Company is in the development stage and its present activities are focused on the commercial deployment of its 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 and a new line of power cell batteries being developed through the use of Nanotechnology. Since mPhase is in the development stage, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as typical for normal operating periods.

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

    Through June 30, 2004, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling $115,775,083, and at June 30, 2004 had a stockholders' deficit of $2,917,962. At June 30, 2004, the Company had $90,045 of cash and cash equivalents and $64,100 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 2005 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, 2004, the Company converted certain payables and accrued expenses with a strategic vendor aggregating approximately $1.8 million into 5 year cashless warrants to 5,069,200 restricted shares of the Company's common stock .

     Management estimates that the Company will need additional minimum capital of $5.0-$10.0 million by June 30, 2005 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 that would lead to commercial sales of its broadcast television platform products. The Company has had an upturn in sales of its POTS splitter products for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, including sales to one customer of approximately $3,551,812 million during such period.

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

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

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

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

RECLASSIFICATIONS

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

    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 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.

The Company had revenue from two customers of 76% and 14% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.

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 the years ended June 30,2004, June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, the items of comprehensive income include unrealized gains and losses on investments the Company had classified as available for sale.

PATENTS AND LICENSES

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

    Amortization expense was $471,629, $468,495 and $86,395 for the years ended June 30, 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively.

    The impairment test for the Company's patents and license rights resulted in the Company concluding that no impairment in addition to amortization previously recorded was necessary during the year ended June 30, 2003.

INVENTORIES

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

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

    The Company accounted for long-lived assets for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of 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.

    In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which became effective for the Company July 1, 2002 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004. The Company assesses long-term assets for impairment under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews long-term assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company also assesses these assets for impairment based on their estimated future cash flows.

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

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED

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

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, 2004, substantially all sales by the Company have been from component telephone equipment parts, primarily the Company's POTS Splitter Shelves. The Company's actual experience for cost and expenses incurred in connection with such warranties have been insignificant. Warranty expense in the amount of $30,000 has been added to the reserve to provide for future warranty costs on fiscal 2004 sales.  This brings the company's aggregate accrued liability to $70,000 at this time.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   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.

<R>

    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 mandatory 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 adopti on. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

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 years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30 , 2004. The Company has included the $17,250 in long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004.

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, 2004 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 years ended June 30, 2002, June 30, 2003 and ended June 30, 2004, the joint venture was charged $69,000, $0 and $0, respectively for fees and costs by its joint venture partner and its affiliates.

    The fair value of options granted in 2002 and 2003 and options and compensatory warrants granted in 2004 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 125.4% in 2002, 144.4% in 2003 and 145.3% in 2004 based upon a risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.1% to 5.8% and expected option life of 4 years.

    The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2002, 2003 and 2004 was $.26, $.21, and $.35, respectively. The per share weighted average remaining life of the options outstanding at June 30, 2002, 2003, and 2004 is 3.29, 2.80 and 2.88 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 2004, been determined based on fair value at the grant dates, mPhase's net loss for 2002, 2003 and 2004 would have been increased to the pro forma amounts shown below.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , for stock-based employee compensation, effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year.

     In March of 2003, Messrs, Durando, Dotoli and Smiley participated in a private placement of the company investing $20,000, $20,000 and $75,000 respectively, receiving common stock of mPhase at $.30 per share plus 5 year warrants of mPhase to purchase a like amount of common stock at $.30 per share. In March of 2003, Messrs Durando and Smiley lent to mPhase $30,000 and $100,000 respectively at 12% interest pursuant to two promissory notes originally due in September of 2003. In June 2003, Mr. Durando was repaid and Mr. Smiley agreed to extend his note until July, 2004. Also in June, 2003, Microphase agreed to convert $360,000 of accounts payable to a note payable, interest at 12%, due in July, 2004. The notes have provisions for prepayment by the Company and at the option of the holder, provide for the conversion of unpaid principal and interest into units valued at $.30 each, each unit consisting of one share of the Company's common stock and a one warrant to purchase the Company' s common stock at $.30 per share for a period of 5 years. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 Microphase was repaid $180,000 and $180,000 remains outstanding.

As of June 30, 2004, Mr. Smiley and Microphase each agreed to extend to July 25, 2005, the maturity on their 12% convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $100,000 and $180,000 respectively.

    Additionally at June 30, 2004, Mr. Durando was owed $300,000 by the Company as evidenced by a non-interest bearing promissory note that was repaid in July 2004. As of June 30, 2004 a total of $55,000 in the aggregate was due to Mr. Durando and Mr. Dotoli for unpaid compensation.

    Generally, as summarized below, the Company has offered conversion of debts to related parties on substantially the same terms as concurrent private placements (typically in $.30 units, such units including both shares of common stock and warrants to purchase a like amount of common stock) in addition to conversion of debts pursuant to terms of concurrent private placements and financial instruments which, pursuant to EITF 00-19 have been settled with the Company's common stock as conditioned by benchmarks, generally coinciding with the Company's negotiations to settle any and all obligations with Georgia Tech Research and its affiliate (see also Note 13) as follows:

    At June 30, 2004 the Company has net deferred income tax assets of approximately $24.2 million comprised principally of the future tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards, which represents an increase of $.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
