1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of
OperationsmPhase Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was organized on October 2, 1996. On February 17, 1997, the Company acquired Tecma Laboratories, Inc. (Tecma) in a transaction accounted for as a reverse merger
whereby Tecma issued 6,600,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, and thereafter Tecma changed its name to the Companys current name. On June 25, 1998, the Company acquired
Microphase Telecommunications, Inc. (MicroTel), through the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of MicroTel. The assets acquired in this acquisition were patents related
to the mPhase line of DSL component products (e.g., POTS Splitters) and patent applications utilized in the Companys proprietary Traverser Digital Video Data Delivery System (Traverser).
The primary business of the Company is to design, develop, manufacture and market its flagship product, the Traverser System. The Traverser System enables the simultaneous delivery of digital television, high-speed Internet and traditional voice services over telephone wires. This technology allows telephone companies to offer its customers a complete suite
of communication services, thereby increasing per subscriber revenue, and increasing the competitiveness of such telcos with respect to other service providers, such as cable companies. Currently, the Company is focused on the early market entry of
the Traverser into telephone companies around the world. The Company also derives revenue on the sale of its line
of DSL component products, which it has developed in conjunction with the operability of its flagship product. The Company continues to be a development stage company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises, as it continues to devote substantially all of its efforts to establishing its core business, and it has not yet commenced the significant deployment of its planned principal
operations.
Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results
for the nine months ending March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001.
Through March 31, 2002, the Company had incurred
development stage losses from inception totaling approximately $99,080,372 and was in a working capital deficit position of $1,577,550. At March 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $310,643 of cash, cash equivalents and approximately $516,984 of
trade receivables to fund short-term working capital requirements. The Companys 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.
Use of EstimatesThe 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 at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made in the prior
period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
Earnings Per ShareThe
Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then
shared in the earnings of the entity. Common equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for all periods presented since their affect is antidilutive.
Research and DevelopmentResearch and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Revenue RecognitionAll revenue included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented relates to sales of mPhases line of POTS
Splitter products and other related DSL component products. As required, the Company adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,
which provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition based on the interpretations and practices of the SEC. The Company recognizes revenue for its line of POTS Splitter products at the time of shipment,
at which time, no other significant obligations of the Company exist, other than normal warranty support. Deferred revenue relates to prepayments by customers for which the Companys obligation to deliver products has not been met.
Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Under
SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have
indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life). The amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and
intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2002. Adoption of SFAS No. 141 will have no effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position. Management does
not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, and provides guidance on classification and accounting for such assets when held for
sale or abandonment. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Management does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial
position.

Results Of Operations
Overview
mPhase is a development-stage company that has designed, patented and is currently engaged in the initial rollout of the Companys flagship product, the Traverser. The Company believes that the Traverser provides a unique turnkey broadband equipment solution that enables telephone companies to deliver real time digital video programming, high-speed Internet and voice telephony service over existing copper telephone lines.
The Company believes that the Traverser will, in many instances, provide the most cost effective, reliable and
scaleable solution for many telephone companies to provide a comprehensive suite of bundled or unbundled services, utilizing Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, or ADSL technology. mPhase also manufactures and sells a line of POTS Splitters and
other related DSL component products, which are currently being deployed by telephone companies both in the United States and abroad.
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 Companys 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 related to the mPhase line of DSL component products and patent
applications utilized in the Companys Traverser product. On March 2, 2000, mPhase acquired an interest in
mPhaseTelevision.Net, Inc., a joint venture organized to provide digital television programming content.
From mPhases
inception, the operating activities have related primarily to research and development, establishing third-party manufacturing relationships, developing product brand recognition and effectively positioning mPhases products in the
international marketplace. These activities included establishing trials and field tests of the Traverser product
with telephone companies in the U.S. and abroad, e.g., Hart Telephone Company in Georgia, and establishing a core administrative and sales organization.
Revenues. To date, all material revenues have been generated from sales of the POTS Splitter product line and other related DSL component products to a number of telecommunications
companies. mPhase believes that future revenues are difficult to predict because of the overall depressed state and current volatility of the telecommunications industry. In addition, the Company believes that there may be a significant
international market for the Traverser involving multiple countries, each with a different regulatory structure,
and commercial practice. As a result, future revenues are highly subject to the changing variables and uncertainties associated with international telecommunications markets.
Cost of revenues. The costs necessary to generate revenues from the sale of POTS Splitter products and other related DSL components include
direct material, labor and manufacturing. mPhase paid these costs to Janifast Corporation, which has facilities in the Peoples Republic of China and is owned by and managed by certain senior executives of the Company. The cost of revenues also
includes certain royalties paid to Microphase Corporation, a privately held corporation organized in 1955, which shares certain common management with the Company. Costs for future production of the Traverser product will consist primarily of payments to manufacturers to acquire the necessary components and assemble the products and future patent royalties
payable to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, or GTRC and Microphase.
12
Table of Contents
Research and development. Research and development expenses consist principally of payments
made to GTRC and Microphase Corporation for development of the Traverser product. All research and development
costs are expensed as incurred.
General and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of
salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in direct marketing of the Traverser, the POTS Splitter product
line and other related DSL component products, as well as support functions including executive, legal and accounting personnel. Certain administrative activities are outsourced on a monthly fee basis to Microphase Corporation. Finally, mPhase
leases the principal office from Microphase Corporation.
Non-cash compensation charge. The Company makes extensive use of stock
options and warrants as a form of compensation to employees, directors and outside consultants.
Three Months Ended March 31,
2002 vs. March 31, 2001
Revenue:
Total revenues were $865,797 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $2,958,635 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in revenue for the current quarter ended March 31, 2002 as compared
to the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was due to slowing sales of the Companys POTS Splitter product line, caused by the general downturn in the DSL equipment market, including customers that order component products from the Company. The
Company continues to believe that its line of POTS Splitter products is positioned to be competitively priced with high reliability and connectivity, and as such has the potential to be a significant part of DSL deployment worldwide. The Company
cannot say when the current contraction of DSL deployments will subside.
Cost of Revenues:
Cost of sales was $724,699 for the three months ending March 31, 2002 as compared to $1,688,753 in the prior period, representing 84% and 57%, for the quarters ended March 31, 2002
and 2001 respectively, of gross revenues. These margins have varied dramatically as the worldwide telecommunications markets have experienced volatility in DSL deployments, which utilize our component products. Additionally, the Company has offered
discounts to certain customers in the period ended March 31, 2002 causing the margin to decrease.
Research and Development:
Research and development expenses were $538,826 for the three months ending March 31, 2002 as compared to $2,219,933 during the comparable
period in 2001. This includes $50,000, incurred with GTRC for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $968,450 during the comparable period in 2001 and $488,826 incurred primarily with Microphase and other strategic vendors for the
three months ending March 31, 2002 as compared to $1,251,483 during the comparable period in 2001.
The decrease in research
expenditures is due to the Companys nearing completion of the design and manufacture of prototypes of the set top box and the central office equipment associated with its Traverser product.
Research
expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing development of the Companys DSL component products, including the Companys line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Companys newest product, the
iPOTS. The mPhase iPOTS offers a solution for the DSL industry; the iPOTS enables telcos to remotely and cost-effectively perform loop management and maintenance including line testing, qualification and troubleshooting. Prior to the introduction of the iPOTS, loop management could not be remotely performed through a conventional POTS Splitter without the use of expensive cross
connects or relay banks because of the mandatory DC blocking
13
Table of Contents
capacitors in traditional POTS splitters, as required by the ITU, ANSI and ETSI. The unique (patent pending) iPOTS circuit allows most test heads to perform both narrow and wideband testing of the local loop through the central office POTS Splitter without having
to physically disconnect the POTS Splitter, thereby eliminating the need to dispatch personnel and a truckroll. The Company believes that this product has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of deploying and maintaining DSL services.
General And Administrative Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,261,713 for the three months ending March 31, 2002 down from $2,873,437 for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative
costs are primarily the result of, despite a modest increase of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of common stock and options to consultants which totaled $737,407 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $615,386 during the
comparable period in 2001; the reduction in workforce in Fiscal 2002 and the reduction in marketing expenses in Fiscal 2002 in response to the current contraction in the telecommunications equipment market.
Net Loss:
The Company recorded a net loss of
$1,807,547 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to a loss of $4,251,473 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This represents a loss per common share of $(.03) for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to a
loss per common share of $(.12) for the three months ending March 31, 2001.
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2002 Vs. March 31,
2001
Revenue:
Total
revenues were $1,948,351 for the nine months ending March 31, 2002 compared to $10,055,006 for the nine months ending March 31, 2001. The decrease in revenue for the nine month period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the nine month period ended
March 31, 2001 was due to slowing sales of the Companys POTS Splitter product line, caused by the general downturn in the DSL equipment market, including customers that order component products from the Company. The Company continues to
believe that its line of POTS Splitter products is positioned to be competitively priced with high reliability and connectivity, and as such has the potential to be a significant part of DSL deployment worldwide. The Company cannot say when the
current contraction of DSL deployments will subside.
Cost Of Revenues:
Cost of sales was $1,711,811 for the nine months ending March 31, 2002 as compared to $5,339,634 in the prior period, representing 12% and 47% for the nine month periods ended March 31,
2002 and 2001 respectively, of gross revenues. These margins have varied dramatically as the worldwide telecommunications markets have experienced volatility in DSL deployments, which utilize our component products. Additionally, the Company has
offered discounts to certain customers in the period ended March 31, 2002 causing the margin to decrease.
Research And Development:
Research and development expenses were $2,907,256 for the nine months ending March 31, 2002 as compared to $8,699,948 during the comparable
period in 2001 this includes $400,000 incurred with GTRC for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $3,175,850 during the comparable period in 2001 in addition to $2,507,256 incurred primarily with Microphase and other strategic vendors
for the nine months ending March 31, 2002 as compared to $5,524,098 during the comparable period in 2001.

The decrease in research expenditures incurred with GTRC is due to the Companys nearing
completion of the design and manufacture of prototypes of the set top box and the central office equipment associated with its Traverser product in 2001.
Research expenditures incurred with Microphase were related to the continuing
development of the Companys DSL component products, including the Companys line of POTS Splitters and Microfilters and the Companys newest product, the iPOTS. The mPhase iPOTS offers a much needed solution for the DSL industry; the iPOTS enables telcos to
remotely and cost-effectively perform loop management and maintenance including line testing, qualification and troubleshooting. Prior to the introduction of the iPOTS, loop management could not be remotely performed through a conventional POTS Splitter without the use of expensive cross connects or relay banks because of the mandatory DC blocking
capacitors in traditional POTS splitters, as required by the ITU, ANSI and ETSI. The unique (patent pending) iPOTS circuit allows most test heads to perform both narrow and wideband testing of the local loop through the central office POTS Splitter without having to physically disconnect the POTS Splitter, thereby eliminating the need
to dispatch personnel and a truckroll. The Company anticipates tremendous demand for this product, as it significantly reduces the cost of deploying and maintaining DSL services.
General And Administrative Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$5,376,709 for the nine months ending March 31, 2002 down from $8,966,355 for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in the selling, general and administrative costs are a result of, a gain despite a modest increase of non-cash charges relating
to the issuance of common stock and options to consultants which totaled $2,441,659 for the nine months ending March 31, 2002 as compared to $2,319,638 during the comparable period in 2001; the reduction in workforce in Fiscal 2002 and the reduction
in marketing expenses in Fiscal 2002 in response to the current contraction in the telecommunications equipment market.
Net Loss:
The Company recorded a net loss of $8,959,447 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to a loss of $14,319,653 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2001. This represents a loss per common share of $(.19) for the nine months ending March 31, 2002 as compared to a loss per common share of $(.44) for the nine months ending March 31, 2001.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
At March 31,
2002, mPhase had a working capital deficit of $1,577,550 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,458,227 on June 30, 2001.
Through March 31, 2002, the Company had incurred development stage losses totaling approximately $99,080,372 and was in a working capital deficit position of $1,577,550. At March 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $310,643 of cash and
cash equivalents and approximately $516,984 of trade receivables to fund short-term working capital requirements. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to raise capital in the
near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its products.
Historically, the Company has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily through private placements of common stock. Management expects that its ongoing financial needs
will be provided by financing activities and believes that the sales of its line of POTS Splitter products and other related DSL component products will provide some offset to cash flows 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 components sales.

At March 31, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $310,643, compared to $31,005
at June 30, 2001, accounts receivable and inventory of approximately $517,000 and $4.03 million, compared to approximately $300,000 of accounts receivable and inventory of $4.3 million at June 30, 2001.
Cash used in operating activities was $2,565,517 during the nine months ending March 31, 2002. The cash used by operating activities principally
consists of the net loss, the net increase in accounts receivable offset by the increase in depreciation and amortization, the net decrease in inventory, and by non-cash charges for common stock options and warrants issued for services and increased
accrued expenses.
The Company has entered into various agreements with GTRC, 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 GTRC totaling approximately $400,000 and $3,175,850 for the nine months ending March 31, 2002 and
2001 respectively and $13.4 million from the period from inception through March 31, 2002. If and when sales commence utilizing this technology, the Company will be obligated to pay GTRC a royalty of 5% of product sales.
In September 2001, certain Board members subscribed to purchase up to 2,000,000 restricted shares of the Companys common stock for $1,000,000, the
balance was collected in full by December 31, 2001.
The Company plans to continue to invest in technology, hardware and
software in connection with enhancing the functionality of the Traverser, as well as in achieving wide scale,
commercial deployment. (In addition, the company anticipates future investments in mPhaseTelevision.Net, Inc.) The timing, nature and scope of such continued investment is dependent upon the Companys ability to raise sufficient capital.
During the nine months ending March 31, 2002, the Company issued 75,000 and 6,797,643 shares of its common stock, together with
a like amount of warrants with an exercise price of $3.00 and $.30 respectively, in private placements including generating gross proceeds of $1,943,754 in private transactions pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended with accredited investors. In addition, certain strategic vendors converted $1,263,062 of accounts payable and accrued expenses into 1,342,996 shares of the Companys common stock and 2,353,000 warrants.
As of March 31, 2002, mPhase had no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Losses During the Development Stage and Managements Plans
The Company believes
that it will be able to complete the necessary steps in order to meet its cash flow requirements throughout fiscal 2002 and continue its development and commercialization efforts. The Company has successfully converted and is in negotiation with
certain strategic vendors to convert additional outstanding current liabilities into equity. 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.
The Company is currently negotiating with several organizations for the commencement of commercial sales of its Traverser products, including deployment at existing test sites. The Company is also negotiating the co-branding of specific applications of its DSL component products, continuing the sale of its existing line of DSL component
products, and intends to expand its customer base as a result of the introduction of it revolutionary new product, the iPOTS.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to complete the Companys
development stage through the introductory rollout of its Traverser Digital Video and Data Delivery System 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 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The
Companys current planned cash requirements for fiscal 2002 are based upon certain assumptions, including its ability to raise additional financing and increased sales of its line of POTS Splitter products. mPhase has made significant
reductions in expenses including marketing and research and development expenses. Should these cash flows not be available, mPhase believes it would have the ability to revise its operating plan and make further reductions in expenses.
The
Company is not exposed to changes in interest rates as the Company has no debt arrangements and no investments in certain held-to-maturity securities. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure
to interest rate changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of any financial instruments at March 31, 2002.
