NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018
(UNAUDITED)
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “We”) was organized on October 2, 1996. Since 2007 the Company has been in the business of developing new products through the science of nanotechnology and micro-fluid dynamics. The Company has made significant progress in developing a reserve battery with an unlimited shelf life prior to initial activation. Our patent portfolio consists of intellectual property covering the “smart surfaces” that liquids in droplets can be suspended upon and collapse upon initial activation by either an electrical impulse or a g force. The Company intends to develop other potential products such as a drug delivery system using such scientific disciplines to monetize its patent portfolio.
During our last two Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has had very limited financial resources to pursue further product development and had fallen behind with respect to our required periodic SEC filings on Forms 10Q and 10K since it lacked resources to pay its auditors. The Company is now current with respect to is SEC filings. We have been negotiating with our creditors to restructure our debt obligations to be in a better position to monetize our patent portfolio. We believe the amendment to the Judgment Settlement Agreement, effective December 10, 2018 by and between John M. Fife, and the Company gives us an opportunity to do so. (see-Note 3. “EQUITY TRANSACTIONS, NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE DEBT”)
On January 11, 2019, the Company underwent a major change in management and focus to restructure its business. The Company intends to broaden and diversify its existing lines of business. The Company will implement is revised plan of operations either directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries. Such restructuring will include a combination of raising additional capital to improve our balance sheet and aggressive pursuit of mergers and acquisitions.
On January 11, 2019, the Company, Prior Management and Mr. Anshu Bhatnagar executed contracts including a transition agreement under which Prior Management was largely replaced. Mr. Bhatnagar became a Director and he Company’s new President and CEO and acquired control of the Company. Mr. Durando remains a Director of the Company and Mr. Smiley was reappointed on January 28, 2018 as Chief Financial Officer. It is expected that both Mr. Durando and Mr. Smiley will hold the foregoing positions on an interim basis to provide continuity during the Transition period (SEE NOTE 8- “Subsequent Events”).
The Transition Agreement provides for our new management to evaluate, formulate and implement a revised plan of operation. The Company is implementing undertakings, initiated by outgoing management, to extinguish certain debts and settle or reduce other liabilities outstanding on December 31, 2018, within six (6) months of January 11, 2019. The Company will implement its revised plan of operation either directly or through wholly- owned subsidiaries.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended ending December 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended June 30, 2018.
GOING CONCERN
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Through December 31, 2018, the Company had incurred (a) cumulative losses totaling ($211,932,586) and (b) a stockholders’ deficit of ($1,741,630). At December 31, 2018, the Company had $348 of cash to fund short-term working capital requirements and cash used in operating activities was ($104,218) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. In addition, the Company relies on the continuation of funding through private placements of its common stock. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this quarterly report. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
5
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued) |
GOING CONCERN – (continued)
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, including recently amended settlement agreements, (2) continue its plan to align partners or other third parties to underwrite any research and development efforts needed to exploit our existing technological capabilities, or develop new products and (3) allow the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its smart surface products, or any newly developed, acquired or otherwise obtained product or service line of business. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or if so, on terms acceptable to the Company.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. The Company reclassified accrued fees of $1,500 to Eagle Advisors to a source of funds from financing activities previously included as a source of funds in operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows in 2017. The reclassified financial statement items had no effect on Net Income (Loss) for the Quarter, Total Stockholders’ Deficit or Total Assets for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
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 periods. These estimates include net realizable value of inventories, estimated value of stock-based compensation and changes in and the ending fair value of derivative liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company had no warrants to purchase shares of its common stock and no options to purchase shares of its common stock outstanding at December 31, 2018.
At December 31, 2018 the Company has convertible securities held by third parties that are immediately convertible into 160,499,917 shares of common stock. Under the terms of the judgement settlement agreement with Mr. Fife, effective December 10, 2018 there are no features whereby the debt would convertible in shares of the Company’s common stock; In addition, the Company has convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon held by officers and a Director of the Company, subject to availability, convertible into approximately 872,160,000 shares of common stock, immediately.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from outside contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance and notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Public business entities may elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date, however, adoption is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will implement this pronouncement on July 1, 2019.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU-2016-01, Financial Instruments- Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liability Letters. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements and notes to our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In September, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842) which amends certain aspects of the new lease standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new standard changes the presentation of restricted cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this Update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses. The amendments in this Update provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, it (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. This Update is the final version of Proposed ASU 2015-330 Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying The Definition of a Business, which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This Update is the final version of Proposed ASU 2016-360—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Scope of Modification Accounting, which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying abbreviated financial statements.

The Company had been in litigation with John Fife with respect to a Convertible Note originally issued on September 13, 2011 in the principal amount of $557,000. Fife sought damages on a Motion for Summary Judgment in the amount in excess of $1,300,000 and attorney’s fees. On December 15, 2014 the federal district court in the North East District of Illinois found in favor of Fife on a motion for Summary Judgment.

As of December 31, 2018, the Forbearance agreement is no longer in effect and no shares of our common stock are issuable or eligible to be converted to under this obligation as a result of the Judgement Settlement Agreement effective December 10, 2018 discussed below.
Judgement Settlement Agreement
The Company entered into a “Judgment Settlement Agreement” to satisfy in full the Forbearance Agreement with Fife discussed above, effective December 10, 2018, by and between John M. Fife, an individual (“Lender”), and mPhase Technologies, Inc. The Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between Borrower.

6. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Effective July 1, 2008, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10-20, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. ASC 820-10-20 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10-20 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820-10-20 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Financial assets and liabilities valued using level 1 inputs are based on unadjusted quoted market prices within active markets. Financial assets and liabilities valued using level 2 inputs are based primarily on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets. For certain long-term debt, the fair value was based on present value techniques using inputs derived principally or corroborated from market data. Financial assets and liabilities using level 3 inputs were primarily valued using management’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value are consistently applied.
Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Some of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables.
At December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the notes payable and accrued interest for convertible agreements, the Judgement Settlement Agreement and officers’ notes was approximately $1.150 million. The JMJ convertible notes, which were originally due at various times through December 31, 2012, yield an interest rate of 12%, the Fife Forbearance obligation is 9%. Refer to Note 3 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information about the Company’s notes payable as of December 31, 2018.

LIMITED OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “We”) was organized on October 2, 1996 (OTC Pink Sheets: XDSL.OB) and we have developed various technological products and processes culminating in our present intellectual property portfolio discussed further our form 10-K for the Year End June 30, 2018, on page 12 under the caption, “Patents and Licenses”. In April of 2016 the outgoing management determined to discontinue the Jump Starter line of products, we have had limited operations dedicated to protecting our technology processes; and recapitalizing the Company. During our last two Fiscal Years- June 30, 2018 and 2017, we have focused our operating activity primarily implement a plan to monetize its existing intellectual property portfolio restructuring our debt obligations. We believe by obtaining on December 10, 2018 an amendment to the Judgment Settlement Agreement with John Fife we have enhanced the opportunity to Complete our Debt restructuring. On January 11, 2019, the Company executed contracts including a “Transition Agreement”, together with our Prior Management and Mr. Bhatnagar whereby Mr. Bhatnagar acquired control of the Company.
The “Transition Agreement” provides the protocol that allows our New Management to review our intellectual property portfolio, and implement its current plan of operation while the Company finalizes undertakings already in process to extinguish specific debts and settle or reduce other liabilities outstanding within six (6) months; and to be in a position to implement a plan to monetize our technology; and transitioning from the Outgoing Management’s plan to reduce liabilities to an acceptable level, and get current on all Periodic Reports required by the Commission and Corporate Federal and State tax filings and streamline internal financial information, as well as update to best practices for our corporate governance and our subsidiaries The foregoing will allow us to evaluate, formulate and implement a revised plan of operation for our next course of action, based upon the status of each potential application of our legacy intellectual property portfolio; estimated cost, time frames to get to deployment, amongst- other factors Outgoing Management may consider relevant, as ultimately determined by the New Management of the Company, including:
- Capitalize on its existing intellectual property portfolio and endeavor to further develop new “smart surface” products through the sciences of microfluidics, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology.
- Continue, with Co-ventures or internally, the development of our patented Drug Delivery Systems.
Commercializing our first nanotechnology-enabled product for military and commercial applications - the Smart NanoBattery providing Power on Command™. Our patented and patent-pending battery technology, based on the phenomenon of electrowetting, offers a unique way to store energy and manage power that could revolutionize the battery industry. Features of the Smart NanoBattery include potentially infinite shelf life, environmentally friendly design, fast ramp to power, programmable control, and direct integration with microelectronic devices.
- Evaluated alternative applications arising from our investment made to development of innovative power cells and related products through the science of microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nano- technology, expanding on the one version of the lithium battery based on a breakable separator was developed for an emergency reserve flashlight application.

On November 3, 2016 we engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm and undertook a successful effort to become current with respect to our Periodic Reports with the SEC. Additionally, we have become current with all of Corporate Federal and State tax filings for mPhase and are in the process to become current in such tax filings for all of our subsidiary, companies. We also made arrangements with strategic vendors and have become more current with several vendors and cost centers, including our financial printer, transfer agent costs, office expenses, legal fees and our outside auditors & accounting consultants.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s critical accounting policies are as follows:
Convertible Instruments - The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional (as that term is described).
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470 20 “Debt with Conversion Options” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

MANAGEMENT’S PLANS AND CURRENT STATUS
The Company had curtailed its efforts with respect to selling its line of automotive jump starter products owing to increased competition resulting in poor margins because of commodity pricing of such products. The Company has sought to implement alternative products for development from our existing patent portfolio and intellectual property but does not foresee a definitive path to revenues until January 11, 2019, when the Company underwent a major change in management and focus to restructure its business to accelerate the generation of revenue through a combination of raising additional capital to improve its balance sheet and aggressively pursue mergers and acquisitions.

The Transition Agreement enables our New Management to develop and implement its current plan of operation while the Company finalizes undertakings already in process to extinguish specific debts and settle or reduce other liabilities outstanding within six (6) months:
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, including recently amended settlement agreements, (2) continue its plan to align partners or other third parties to underwrite any research and development efforts needed to exploit our existing technological capabilities, or develop new products and (3) allow the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its smart surface products, or any newly developed, acquired or otherwise obtained product or service line of business.
