BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ending December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Through December 31, 2015, the Company had incurred cumulative (a) losses totaling ($211,858,824), (b) stockholders’ deficit of ($4,774,747). At December 31, 2015, the Company had $5,766 of cash and $3,517 of trade receivables to fund short-term working capital requirements. In addition, the Company relies on the continuation of funding through private placements of its common stock. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy its current obligations, (2) continue its research and development efforts, and (3) allow the successful wide scale development, deployment and marketing of its products.

INVENTORY

The Company uses the First In First Out method (FIFO) to account for inventory which is carried at cost. As of June 30, 2015, inventory consisted primarily of its various Jump products including the Jump and the mini Jump, and our remaining flashlight inventory, and was valued at $218,653. As of December 31, 2015, (unaudited) inventory consisted primarily of the Company’s line of Jump products including the new Jump Plus, and our remaining flashlight inventory, and was valued at $90,038. Appropriate reserves have been taken to assure that the cost of such inventory does not exceed the expected resale value.

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. 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, 2015. The Company has convertible securities held by third parties and convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon held by officers of the Company, subject to availability, convertible into approximately 308,877,385 immediately, and up to 5,426,474,179 if the forbearance agreement discussed in Note 3 is settled entirely in stock, and 1,437,632,525 shares respectively of the Company’s common stock based upon the conversion terms at December 31, 2015. In periods reporting a loss the inclusion of warrants and potential common shares to be issued in connection with convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted loss per share and have been omitted in such computation.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassified financial statement items had no effect on Net Loss for the six months ended December 31, 2014, total Stockholders’ Deficit or total Assets for the six months ended December, 2015 or 2014.

MATERIAL EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

The Company has material equity instruments including convertible securities that are accounted for as derivative liabilities (SEE BELOW) that are evaluated quarterly for potential reclassification as liabilities pursuant to by FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19). (SEE ALSO NOTE 3 under the caption "Other Equity".)

To date the Company has received a total of $639,500 in cash and has issued 322,187,500 shares of common stock to the holder upon conversions of $325,440 of principle and $994,766 of conversion fees. The remaining $604,600 of cash which was to be received from the holder plus accrued and unpaid interest was convertible into shares of common stock at the option of the holder. Upon receipt, in full, of cash by the Company equaling the purchase price of the convertible note plus interest or any portion thereof payable through maturity, the holder may convert such portion of the total amount of interest funded that would accrue to maturity into additional shares of common stock. Based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2011 of $.0073 per share the holder could convert the remaining principal amount plus interest of this convertible note into approximately 222,142,857 shares of common stock at the full contract value; of which the derivative liability associated with this arrangement is calculated.

On September 13, 2011, the Company issued a second Convertible Note to John Fife founder and president of St. George Investments, in a Private Placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The initial principal amount of the first funded tranche of the Convertible Note was $357,500 and the Company received cash proceeds of $300,000.

A second tranche of the Convertible Note in the amount of $200,000 cash is funded upon the filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission providing for the registration of 185,400,000 shares of common stock that may be converted into from time to time by the holder of the Convertible Note.

All proceeds received in connection with the above financing have been used by the Company as working capital.

At the time of the transaction, the embedded conversion feature of this security and the warrant was calculated to be $137,481 and the loan discount totaled $194,981 for the initial tranche and the embedded conversion feature of this security and the warrant for a second tranche of the Convertible Note was calculated to be $46,379. On June 30, 2012, given the changes in the Company’s stock price during the 20 day look-back period for June 30, 2012 and conversions during the period this estimated liability had increased from $183,860 to $771,079, an increase this period of $587,219, creating a non-cash charge to earnings for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 of that amount. During the twelve month period ended June 30, 2012 amortization of debt discount amounted to $185,456 reducing the combined balance to $55,903.

The company entered into an amended agreement on June 1, 2012, when principle of $557,500 accrued interest of $66,338 and $95,611 of contractual charges totaled $719,449; with this note holder whereby the Company agreed to make payments of principle and interest of $33,238 per month commencing October 1, 2012 through September 1, 2014 at 8% interest and so long as the payments are not in default then no conversions into the Company’s common stock would be available to the holder.

The Company has not made any payments of the $33,238 installment payments commencing October 1, and the holder has continued to accrue interest on the outstanding balance (see note 4). On November 20, 2012, mPhase Technologies, Inc.

The alleged amount owed according to the notice is approximately $902,279. On June 30, 2013, given the changes in the Company’s stock price during the 20 day look-back period for June 30, 2013, this estimated liability had decreased to $138,696, a decrease this period of $689,007, creating a non-cash credit to earnings for the year ended June 30, 2013 of that amount. During the year ended June 30, 2013, amortization of debt discount amounted to $55,903, reducing the combined balance to $0. As of June 30, 2013 this note would have been convertible into 700,806,707 shares of common stock at the original terms. On June 30, 2014, given the changes in the Company’s stock price during the 20 day look-back period for June 30, 2014, this estimated liability had increased to $548,906, an increase this period of $410,210, creating a non-cash charge to earnings for the year ended June 30, 2014 of that amount. As of June 30, 2014 this note would have been convertible, at the original terms, into 1,392,162,326 shares of common stock.

On December 15, 2014, a Memorandum Opinion and Order was issued by the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division granting the motion of John Fife, plaintiff (“Plaintiff”), for summary judgment against mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) for breach of contract (the “Opinion”). All other claims and counterclaims were dismissed. The Company commenced settlement negotiations with the Plaintiff after we explored options with regard to an appeal and other alternatives, which there is no guarantee of success. As discussed in Note 7, effective February 10, 2015, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with the Holder. The agreement provides that the Holder would forego his right to enforce its remedies pursuant to the judgment, which include demand for immediate payment of approximately $1.6 million, provided the Company satisfy its forbearance obligation of $1,003,943, and after accounting for a payment of $15,000 the Company paid, under the terms of the agreement.

The terms of the agreement, as amended, provide for interest to accrue on the unpaid portion at 9% per annum with monthly payments in cash or conversions into common stock of the Company; commencing with an initial $15,000 payment due on February 15, 2015, and thereafter and on or before the 15^th day of each month thereafter the Company agrees to pay to Holder the following amounts ; $30,000.00 per month on each of the following dates: March 15, 2015, April 15, 2015, May 15, 2015, June 15, 2015, and July 15, 2015; $15,000.00 per month on each of the following dates: August 15, 2015 and September 15, 2015; $20,000.00 per month on each of the following dates: October 15, 2015, November 15, 2015, and December 15, 2015; $35,000.00 per month on each of the following dates: January 15, 2016 and February 15, 2016 and March 15, 2016; and $50,000.00 per month thereafter until the Forbearance Amount has been paid in full. The Company has been able to meet its monthly payment obligations through November, 2015.

The value of the forbearance debt obligation on June 30, 2015 is $902,253. At June 30, 2015, given the changes in the Company’s stock price during the 20 day look-back period for June 30, 2015, the estimated derivative liability had decreased to $232,423, a decrease from June 30, 2014 of $548,906 totaling $316,493, which when added to the $18,469 increase at the time the forbearance agreement resulted in a non-cash credit to earnings of $334,962 for the year ended June 30, 2015. The Forbearance agreement requires the Company to place, and the Company has done so, 1,000,000,000 shares in reserve with its transfer agent, to satisfy the conversion provisions for any unpaid monthly cash payments. The agreement original agreement also provided that the Company file a Proxy statement before June 1, 2015 should additional shares be needed for the conversion reserve. The Company has not issued any stock for conversions since entering into the forbearance agreement and during the year ended June 30, 2015 and has made cash payments repaying $69,081 of principle and $41,019 of interest under the agreement. During the six months ended December 31, 2015 the Company repaid $103,437 of principle and $35,563 of interest under the agreement.

As of August 11, 2015 the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 with Fife to the Forbearance Agreement rescheduling the monthly payment schedules (see Form 8K filed with the SEC on August 2, 2015)

At December 31, 2015, the derivative liability was estimated to be $716,543, an increase of $484,120 from $232,423, the balance as of our last fiscal year end, creating a charge to expense of a like amount during the six months then ended.

As of December 31, 2015 this forbearance obligation would only be convertible for monthly obligations the Company elects to/or does not pay in cash in part or in full, for: (i) up to 62,500,000 shares, for the satisfaction of the next required monthly payment, (ii) up to 2,674,375,000 shares, for the satisfaction of the next 12 required monthly payments; and (iii) up to 5,117,596,794 shares of our common stock should the entire obligation be converted.

BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURE

In April 2009, the Board of Directors authorized the right for the officers to convert into shares of the Company's common stock officers' loans discussed in Note 9, plus accrued interest thereon, at any time for the next five years providing such shares are issued, outstanding and available, at a conversion price of $.0075. This conversion price was amended in August 2011 to $.0040. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the officers’ were authorized by the board of directors’ to enter into agreements to convert certain officer notes, previously convertible at $.004 from 2009 through April 2014, based upon the then concurrent terms of private placements with accredited investors; at $.0004, representing the now current terms of private placements with accredited investors. On June 30, 2015, these Notes were convertible into approximately 1,481,210,000 shares of common stock, if available. During the six months ended December 31, 2015 the Company recorded $60,785 beneficial conversion feature interest expense regarding the convertibility of these notes. As of December 31, 2015 these Notes are convertible into approximately 1,437,632,525 shares of common stock if available.

COMMITMENTS

Our corporate headquarters is located at an office in Clifton, New Jersey for $4,132 per month through August 1, 2016.

The Company entered into a conditional lease for a production facility located in Passaic, New Jersey, the commencement of which is contingent upon the Company obtaining funding from investors pursuant to an economic development program within governmental guidelines. During the six months ended December 31, 2015 the Company canceled this lease and received the deposit.

CONTINGENCIES

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 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. The Company has entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Fife as a result of negotiations to settle such Judgment.

The value of the forbearance obligation on December 31, 2015 is $818,816. At December 31, 2015, the derivative liability was estimated to be $716,543, and as such a total of $1,535,359 liabilities have been recorded in the financial statements to reflect this obligation, $427,900 included in current liabilities and $1,107,459 non-current. The value of the judgment totaled approximately 1.6 million as of December 31, 2014 and bears a punitive interest rate of 16%, and would become payable in full if the Company defaults under the forbearance obligation. The Forbearance agreement requires the Company to place, and the Company has done so, 1,000,000,000 shares in reserve with its transfer agent, to satisfy the conversion provisions for any unpaid monthly cash payments.

As of December 31, 2015 this forbearance obligation would only be convertible for monthly obligations the Company elects to/or does not pay in cash in part or in full, for: (i) up to 62,500,000 shares, for the satisfaction of the next required monthly payment, (ii) up to 2,674,375,000 shares, for the satisfaction of the next 12 required monthly payments; and (iii) up to 5,117,596,794 shares of our common stock should the entire obligation be converted.

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 GAAP. 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.

The table below presents reconciliation for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015 and 2014:

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.

We have determined that it is not practical to estimate the fair value of our notes payable because of their unique nature and the costs that would be incurred to obtain an independent valuation. We do not have comparable outstanding debt on which to base an estimated current borrowing rate or other discount rate for purposes of estimating the fair value of the notes payable and we have not been able to develop a valuation model that can be applied consistently in a cost efficient manner. These factors all contribute to the impracticability of estimating the fair value of the notes payable. At December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the notes payable and accrued interest for convertible agreements and officers’ notes was approximately $2.2 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 financial statements for more information about the Company’s notes payable.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

mPhase, a New Jersey corporation founded in 1996, is a publicly-held company with over 23,000 shareholders and approximately 17,463,484,203 shares of common stock outstanding. The Company’s common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol XDSL. As of April 15, 2015, we are headquartered in Clifton, New -Jersey. Previously mPhase shared common office space with Microphase Corporation, a privately held company. Microphase is a leader in the field of radio frequency and filtering technologies within the defense and telecommunications industry. It has been in operation for over 50 years and supports mPhase with both engineering and administrative and financial resources as needed.

mPhase is a company specializing in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. mPhase is in the process of commercializing its first nanotechnology-enabled product for military and commercial applications - The Smart NanoBattery providing Power On Command™. The new patented and patent pending battery technology, based on the phenomenon of electrowetting, offers a unique way to store energy and manage power. 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.

The platform technology behind the Smart NanoBattery is a porous nanostructured material used to repel and precisely control the flow of liquids. The material has a Smart Surface that can potentially be designed for other product applications including medical oxygen generation, hot/cold packs and emergency lighting.

mPhase has completed a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) grant, part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, with the U.S. Army for continued development of a reserve Smart NanoBattery for a critical computer memory application.

Since our inception in 1996, operating activities have related primarily to research and development, establishing third-party manufacturing relationships and developing product brand recognition, and since July 1, 2007, we have focused primarily upon development of our smart reserve battery and other battery and illuminator products.

Description of Operations Microfluidics, MEMS, and Nanotechnology

In February of 2004, mPhase entered the business of developing new products based on materials whose properties and behavior are controlled at the micrometer and nanometer scales. (For reference, a micrometer or micron is equal one millionth (10 -6) of a meter and a nanometer is one billionth (10 -9) of a meter – the scale of atoms and molecules. A human hair is approximately 50 microns in diameter, or 50,000 nanometers thick.) The Company has expertise and capabilities in microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and nanotechnology. Microfluidics refers to the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small, typically micrometer scale. MEMS is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology. Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter (atoms and molecules) on the nanometer length scale (1-100 nanometers), and exploitation of novel phenomena and properties (physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical) at that length scale. In its Smart NanoBattery, mPhase exploits the physical phenomenon of electrowetting by which a voltage is used to change the wetting properties of a liquid/solid interface at the nanometer scale. Consider water as the liquid. Through electrowetting, mPhase can change a surface from what is referred to as a hydrophobic ("water fearing") state to a hydrophilic ("water loving") state. In the hydrophobic state, the water beads up or is repelled by the surface. In the hydrophilic state, the water spreads out or is absorbed by the surface. The ability to electronically control the wetting characteristics of a surface at the nanometer scale forms the basis of mPhase’s nanotechnology operations and intellectual property portfolio.

In the Smart NanoBattery application, mPhase uses electrowetting as a new technique to activate or literally "turn on" a battery once it is ready to be used for the first time. At the heart of the Smart NanoBattery is a porous, nanostructured superhydrophic or superlyophobic membrane designed and fabricated by mPhase. The so-called superhydrophobic membrane applies to water and the superlyophobic membrane applies to nonaqueous or organic liquids such as ethanol or mineral oil. The difference between the two membrane types lies in the nanoscale architecture at the surface. By virtue of its superhydrophobic or superlyophobic character, the membrane, although porous, is able to physically separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes so that the battery remains dormant or inactive, thus providing no voltage or current until called upon. This electrolyte-electrode separation gives the battery the feature of potentially unlimited shelf life and the benefit of being always ready when needed, which is not necessarily the case for conventional batteries. Electrowetting alters the liquid/membrane interface so that the liquid is now able to flow over the membrane’s surface and rapidly move through the pores where it is able to contact the solid electrode materials located on the other side of the membrane.

mPhase uses MEMS to precisely control the machining of silicon-based materials at the micrometer and nanometer scales. This ability has led to the Company’s proprietary membrane design that controls the wetting and movement of liquids on a solid surface. mPhase uses microfluidics to control the flow of liquid electrolyte through the porous membrane and this is also the basis for other possible applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, filtration and separation and liquid delivery systems.

History of Nanotechnology Operations Smart NanoBattery

mPhase Technologies along with Bell Labs jointly conducted research from February 2004 through April of 2007 that demonstrated control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic and superlyophobic surfaces to create a new type of battery or energy storage device with power management features obtained by controlling the wetting behavior of a liquid electrolyte on a solid surface. The scientific research conducted set the ground work for continued development of the Smart NanoBattery and formed a path to commercialization of the technology for a broad range of market opportunities. During 2005 and 2006, the battery team tested modifications and enhancements to the internal design of the battery to optimize its power and energy density characteristics, as well as making engineering improvements that were essential in moving the battery from a zinc-based chemistry to a commercial lithium-based chemistry that can be manufactured on a large scale. The Company began its efforts by entering into a $1.2 million 12 month Development Agreement with the Bell Labs division of Alcatel/Lucent for exploratory research of control and manipulation of fluids on superhydrophobic surfaces to create power cells ( batteries) by controlling wetting behavior of an electrolyte on nanostructured electrode surfaces. The goal was to develop a major breakthrough in battery technology creating batteries with longer shelf lives as the result of no direct electrode contact (meaning no power drain prior to activation). The Company extended its development effort twice for an additional 2 years ending in March of 2007 and for two additional periods thereafter through July 31, 2007. During this time, the technical focus shifted from trying to separate the liquid electrolyte from nanostructured electrodes to developing a nanostructured membrane that could physically separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes.

mPhase also began working with the Rutgers University Energy Storage Research Group (ESRG) in July of 2005 to conduct contract research in advanced battery chemistries involving lithium. This work involved characterizing and testing materials that could be used in the mPhase battery. In July of 2007, the relationship shifted to a collaboration focused on developing a memory backup battery needed by the U.S. Army. The work was funded through a Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) grant.

In July of 2007, mPhase formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Always Ready, Inc., to focus on the development of its nanotechnology products. The Company has used this subsidiary as a division of the Company in order to develop increasing brand recognition of its battery product. The Company decided in September of 2007 to transfer its development work out of Bell Labs (Alcatel/Lucent) in order to broaden its nanotechnology product commercialization efforts. Prior to such time mPhase was limited to development using zinc-based batteries since Bell Labs did not have facilities to handle lithium chemistry. mPhase continued to work with Rutgers ESRG that has facilities capable of handing lithium battery development and also engaged in work with other companies to supply essential components, fabricate prototypes, and plan manufacturing approaches. These companies included a well-respected silicon foundry and battery manufacturer.

In February of 2008, the Company announced that a prototype of its Smart NanoBattery was successfully deployed in a gun-fired test at the Aberdeen Proving Ground at Maryland. The test was conducted by the U.S. Army Armament Research and Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) of Picatinny, New Jersey. The battery not only survived the harsh conditions of deployment at a gravitational force in excess of 45,000 g, but was also flawlessly activated in the process.

In March of 2008, mPhase announced that it had been invited to submit a proposal for a Phase II STTR grant based upon the successful work it had performed on the Phase I grant to develop a version of the Smart NanoBattey referred to as the multi-cell, micro-array reserve battery for a critical U.S. Army memory backup application. The Phase II grant in the gross amount of $750,000 (net $500,000) was granted to the Company in the middle of September of 2008. In March of 2008, the Company also announced the successful transfer to a commercial foundry of certain processes critical to the manufacturing of its Smart NanoBattery. This enabled fabrication of the porous membranes for the multi-cell, micro-array reserve battery mentioned above. The Company successfully manufactured nanostructured membranes at the foundry that are essential to commercial production of the battery. By achieving a series of delayed activations, the shelf-life and continuous run-time of such battery is increased to a period of time in excess of twenty years. In April of 2008, the Company announced that it had successfully activated its first Smart NanoBattery prototype by electrowetting using a hard-wired configuration and a remotely-activated device. Remote activation plays a key role in providing power to wireless sensors systems and RFID tags.

Also, in April of 2008, the Company announced that it had successfully produced its first lithium-based reserve battery with a soft or pouch package and breakable separator (in place of the electrowettable membrane) that relies on mechanical rather than electrical activation to provide Power On Command™. The Company believes that it is a significant milestone in moving from a low energy density zinc-based battery to a higher energy density lithium-based battery towards proving that the Smart NanoBattery will eventually be economically and commercially viable.

In fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2011, the Company focused upon further development of its Smart Nano Battery under a Phase II STTR grant from the U.S. Army as a potential reserve battery for a back-up computer memory application for a weapons system. The Company has recently completed such Phase II Army grant. On November 12, of 2010, the Company announced that it had successfully triggered and activated its first functional multi-cell smart nano battery. Triggering and activation of the cells of the battery were achieved by using the technique of electrowetting or programmable triggering. Triggering was accomplished by applying a pulse of electrical energy to a porous, smart surface membrane located inside each cell in the battery causing the electrolyte to come in contact with the cell’s electrodes, creating the chemical reaction to produce voltage inside of the multi-cell battery. The multi-cell battery consists of a matrix of 12 individual cells populated with an electrode stack consisting of lithium and carbon monofluoride materials with each rated at 3.0 volts. Using a custom designed circuit board for testing, each of the cells in the battery were independently triggered and activated without affecting any of the non-activated cells in the multi-cell configuration. Each cell in the battery has a very long shelf-life prior to triggering.

On February 9, 2011, the Company announced that it had signed a 3 year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny, New Jersey, to continue to cooperatively test and evaluate the mPhase Smart NanoBattery, including new design features functionally appropriate for DoD based systems requiring portable power sources. The army researchers are evaluating the prototypes using the Army’s testing facilities at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey in order to determine applicability of the technology to gun fired munitions and potentially to incorporate the technologies into research and development and other programs sponsored by Picatinny. The Research Agreement is supported by the Fuze & Precision Armaments Technology Directorate.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company completed work on its Phase II STTR grant for the U.S. army for a nano-reserve battery for a back-up computer memory application. In addition the Company engaged First Principals, Inc to perform an evaluation or each of its patents in order to identify a strategic partner whose products line will need the Company’s SmartNanoBattery as a compelling solution.

On March 6, 2012, the Company announced that it is exploring the printing of its Smart NanoBattery on graphene and other new advanced materials. Graphene is a very strong material that has been described as the most conductive material known, making it a vast improvement over silicon.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Revenues. Since October 1, 2013, quarterly revenue, if any, has primarily been attributable to sales of its Jump and Mini Jump Products.

Cost of revenues. Cost associated with revenues are comprised primarily of the cost to purchase out-sourced developed and manufactured products internationally and having them private labeled under the mPower brand name. These costs may be reduced assuming the Company moves forward with the commercialization and distribution of its automotive battery jump starter product and other potential products associated with its mechanically-activated reserve battery in large volumes.

Research and development. Research and development expenses have consisted principally of direct labor and payments made to various outside vendors including Porsche Design Studio and cost reduction vendors of the Porsche Designed products outside of the United States in connection with the Company’s Automotive Battery Jump Starter products. The Company is continuing to seek SBIR grants and take advantage of other U.S. government financial programs to fund continued research and development of its Smart Nano Battery.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in sales of its automotive jump starter product line and legal and accounting personnel. In addition the Company from time to time will use outside consultants. Certain administrative activities are outsourced on a monthly fee basis to Microphase Corporation and mPhase leases its office in Norwalk, Connecticut from Microphase Corporation.

Non-cash compensation charges. The Company makes extensive use of stock, stock options and warrants as a form of compensation to employees, directors and outside consultants.

Other Income (Expense). Included in Other Expense are non-recurring items related to the change in the value of derivative securities and amortization as related debt discount. Such amounts will fluctuate significantly and should not be considered as recurring or in any way indicative of operating results. In addition, it has been the Company’s policy to record as an expense the cost of re-pricing securities (Reparation Cost) to raise capital.

Cumulative losses, net worth and capital needs

The Company has incurred cumulative losses of ($211,858,824) and has a stockholders’ deficit of ($4,774,747) through December 31, 2015. The auditors’ report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 includes the statement that "there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern". As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a negative net worth of ($4,774,747) compared to a negative net worth of ($3,842,865) as of June 30, 2015 as a result of continuing net losses.

The Company raised $126,000 in net proceeds from private placements of 466,666,667 shares of common stock during the six months ended December 31, 2015. The Company raised $392,500 from private placements of 1,080,000,000 shares of its common stock during the six months ended December 31, 2014.

While the Company believes it will be able to fund short term capital needs, it will from time to time need to supplement such funding. In the longer term, we estimate that the Company will need to raise approximately $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 of additional funds through June 30, 2016 in order to fund the continued commercialization of its products, the range effected by the how many products the Company rolls out.

The Company does not expect to derive any material revenue from its nanotechnology product development during the current fiscal year. The Company estimates that material revenues from its SmartNanoBattery could occur in 18 months depending upon the Company’s ability to secure federal funding in the form of SBIR grants and adoption and custom tailoring of such product as a reserve battery to a computer memory or other function for a specific weapons system. Revenues may be derived in fiscal year 2016 from  sales of the Company’s jump starter products depending upon the Company’s ability to secure arrangements with major distributors of automotive parts in the retail markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

As required, mPhase has adopted ASC 605-10-525 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", which provides guidelines on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition based upon the interpretations and practices of the SEC.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred in accordance with ASC 730 "Research and Development."

MATERIAL EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

The Company has material equity instruments including convertible debentures and convertible notes that are accounted for as derivative liabilities (SEE BELOW) and options and warrants that are evaluated quarterly for potential reclassification as liabilities pursuant to FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19) (SEE ALSO NOTE 3 under the caption "Other Equity"). The Company utilized a sequencing method prescribed by EITF 00-19, based upon applying shares available to contracts with the earliest inception date first. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company reclassified contracts for warrants to purchase 12,604,168 shares at fixed prices ranging from $.13 to $.15 per share to liabilities.

The liability was recorded at the fair market value, which estimated value was based upon the contractual life of the free standing warrants, using the Black Scholes pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: annual expected return of 0%, an average life of 5 years, annual volatility of 81% and a risk-free interest rate of 2.25% . At the issuance date of the free standing warrants, which warrants were issued during the fourth quarter of fiscal June 30, 2008, the estimated value approximated $1,006,200 and, as recalculated on the quarterly measurement dates, at June 30, 2008 the estimated value approximated $433,300. During fiscal year ended 2009, the estimated value was reduced to zero. The net change in the liability was credited to the change in derivative value in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 for $572,900 and $433,300, respectively, for each of these periods in accordance with FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19). Effective May, 2009, warrants to purchase 11,111,112 shares, and effective September, 2009, warrants to purchase 1,493,056 shares, representing all of the contracts for warrants to purchase 12,604,168 shares that were reclassified to liabilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, were reclassified to permanent equity.

Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company has not entered into, and presently the Company does not have, any contracts for warrants or other equity instruments subject to reclassification to liabilities as prescribed by FASB Standards Codification Topic 815 (previously known as EITF 00-19) until August 10, 2011, when it entered into a Convertible Note for $25,000, which concurrently provided the note holder a warrant and recorded an additional derivative liability for the warrant.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

The Company has estimated the value of the derivative liability associated with its convertible debt. Such estimate is based on a Black Scholes calculation and is initially recorded for each convertible debt agreement at the time the debt was issued. At each reporting period, the value of this liability is marked to market and adjusted accordingly. Such adjustments are included in Other Income (Expense).

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" which requires companies to measure and recognizes compensation expense for all employee stock-based payments at fair value over the service period underlying the arrangement. Therefore, the Company is now required to record the grant-date fair value of its stock-based payments (i.e., stock options and other equity-based compensation) in the statement of operations. The Company adopted the "modified prospective" method, whereby fair value of all previously-granted employee stock-based arrangements that remained unvested at July 1, 2005 and all grants made on or after July 1, 2005 have been included in the Company’s determination of stock-based compensation expense.

MATERIAL RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

MICROPHASE CORPORATION

mPhase’s President was also an officer and shareholder of Microphase. Mr. Durando was Microphase’s cheif operating officer since May 1, 1995 and a director since March 31, 2010 until his resignation from both positions on January 22, 2015. On February 9, 2015 Mr. Durando assigned all his interests in the Capital Stock of Microphase , for a period of not less than three years, to the RCKJ Trust as the Grantor. The beneficial owners for economic purposes are Mr. Durando’s children. Mr. Durando is presentlya strategic employee of Microphase.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has incurred cumulative losses of $211,858,824 and a working capital deficit of $2,901,678 as of December 31, 2015. The auditors’ report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 includes the statement that "there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern". As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a negative net worth of ($4,774,747) compared to a negative net worth of ($3,842,865) as of June 30, 2015 as a result of continuing net losses.

During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 466,666,667 shares of its common stock in connection with private placements, pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, raising gross proceeds of $140,000 and accrued finder’s fees in the amount of $14,000. The proceeds were used by the Company as working capital.

During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,080,000,000 shares of its common stock in connection with private placements included 30,000,000 shares to finders, pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, raising gross proceeds of $420,000 and paid finder’s fees in the amount of $27,500. The proceeds were used by the Company as working capital.

Also during the six months ended December 31, 2015, an unaffiliated shareholder advanced the Company $35,000, which remains outstanding and a director of the Company loaned the Company $90,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and additionally$10,000 net of repayments during the six months ended December 31, 2015, $100,000 of principal and $2,032 of interest, totaling $102,032, remains outstanding at December 31, 2015.

While the Company believes that private placements of its common stock to be issued from time to time will fund short term capital needs it will soon need to seek shareholder approval to increase its authorized shares of common stock. The Company is seeking to access a federal government sponsored funding programs designed to enable small business create additional job opportunities in the United States.. Such monies would be necessary primarily to fund expenditures for commercialization and distribution of its cost reduced automotive jump starter product designed for the mass market. The Company has been seeking distributors with which to establish licensing or distribution agreements in order to maximize potential revenue associated with the product.

The Company does not expect to derive any material revenue from its nanotechnology product development until after a deployment and custom tailoring of its Smart Nanobattery takes place by the Army which the Company currently estimates could occur during the next 18 months.

MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The Company has shifted its focus to the development of its automotive jump starter products and its “smart surfaces” using the science of nanotechnology. The Company believes it will continue to generate revenues with respect to its cost-reduced automotive jump starter through Fiscal 2016. The Company does not expect to derive any material revenue from its nanotechnology products under development during the next 18 months. The Company anticipates that it will need not less than $1,000,000 of additional capital to commence cost reduction, marketing and continued expansion of the distribution of its additional Jump Starter products.

The Company and the note holders for arrangements 1 through 3, JMJ Financial, have been renegotiating the settlement of these agreements, however no final agreement has been reached with respect to the terms of a refinancing of such obligations.

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

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 December 31, 2015.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

On February 2, 2015 the Securities and Exchange Commission upheld the denial of a corporate action by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in connection with the Company’s seeking to reverse split its common stock pursuant to FINRA Rule 6490 (see SEC Release No 7418 of February 2, 2015). The action was found as deficient by FINRA on the basis that two corporate officers and directors of the Company had previously entered into a Consent Decree with the SEC in October of 2007 by them when they were previously officers of another company named Packetport.com. The Company is considering various options in connection with this matter including its right to appeal this decision to the Federal Circuit Court of the D.C. Circuit.
