NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on October 2, 1996 and is presently focused on restructuring its debt obligations to be in a position to 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. The Company plans to restructure its business through some combination of raising additional capital, strategic partnerships and or mergers & acquisitions.

 

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 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 three months ending September 30, 2017 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, 2017.

 

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 September 30, 2017, the Company had incurred (a) cumulative losses totaling ($211,055,476) and (b) a stockholders’ deficit of ($3,536,930). During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had $(21,286) net cash used in operating activities. At September 30, 2017, the Company had $599 of cash to fund short-term working capital requirements. 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.

 

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 smart surface products. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or if so, on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

INVENTORY- Discontinued Operations

 

The Company uses the First In First Out method (FIFO) to account for inventory which is carried at lower of cost and net realizable value. As of June 30, 2017, inventory consisted primarily of its various Jump products including the Jump and the mini Jump, and our remaining flashlight inventory, and was valued at $3,477. As of September 30, 2017, 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 $3,477. The Company’s Board of Directors, in a meeting on June 25, 2016, determined it was in the best interest of the Company to discontinue its entire line of Jump products in the 1st quarter of fiscal year 2017 owing to increased competition and decreasing margins. Appropriate reserves have been taken as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, to assure that the cost of such inventory does not exceed the expected net realizable 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. 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.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE FOR THE VALUE OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities results from the changes in the fair value due to the application of ASC 815, resulting in either income or expense, depending on the difference in fair value of the derivative liabilities between their measurement dates. The increase in fair value of derivative liabilities recognized effective June 30, 2016 is due to a change in accounting estimate related to the accounting for derivative liabilities. Due to the Company’s current share price and lack of trading liquidity in the Company’s common stock, in addition to limited shares available for conversions for such instruments as amended, the convertible notes were determined to have no basis for applying a derivative liability to the conversion of these notes. As a result, the Company recorded a change in accounting estimate which resulted in a gain on change in derivative liability of approximately $200,000 effective June 30, 2016.

 

As of September 30, 2017, due to the Company’s current share price and lack of trading liquidity in the Company’s common stock, and limited shares available for conversions for for outstanding convertible securities, l there is no basis for applying a derivative liability to the conversion of these notes.

 

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 September 30, 2017.

  

At September 30, 2017 the Company has convertible securities held by third parties that are immediately convertible into 765,339,500 shares of common stock.. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, as amended, with John Fife (arrangement #4), Fife may acquire a total of 10,350,062,518 shares of the Company’s common stock based upon the conversion terms; if the forbearance agreement discussed in Note 3 is settled entirely in stock. In addition, the Company has convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon held by officers of the Company, subject to availability, convertible into approximately 1,699,010,000, immediately, if available.

 

The following table illustrates debts convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at September 30, 2017:

The Company had leased a warehouse and limited office space in Norwalk, Connecticut, commencing in April of 2015 with a monthly rental of $2,200 per month. The Company vacated the Norwalk premise in April 2016 and the Company moved its warehouse contents, primarily inventory and associated shipping materials of its mPower battery products into the Clifton premise. The Company has $22,000 of unpaid rent in accounts payable discontinued operations at September 30, 2017.

  

5. 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 September 30, 2017 is $828,005 (See Note 3), all of which are included in current liabilities at that date. 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 (1.325 million) if the Company defaults under the forbearance obligation reduced by payments under the Forbearance Agreement, which payments through June 30, 2017 totaled $275,000. As of June 30, 2016, 812,500,000 shares from this reserve have been issued to satisfy the conversion provisions of the Forbearance Agreement. During the year ended June 30, 2017 187,500,000 shares were issued from this reserve and no amounts remain under the reserve agreement with our transfer agent. The Company is in arrears on the agreement and has negotiated a settlement for approximately $360,000 in cash payments. The Company is in arrears on this settlement. (See Note 3)

(See Note 3)

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 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 September 30, 2017 and 2016. At September 30,2017 the Company’s common stock is subject to limited trading and availability of shares for conversions is nominal. We therefore believe there is no basis for applying a derivative liability to the conversion feature of the Notes.

 

    Fair Value Measurements Using Significant  
    Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)  
    Derivative Liability  
    September 30,     September 30,  
    2017     2016  
Balance, Beginning of Period   $      -     $ -  
Increase (Decrease) in Derivative and associated liabilities     -                -  
Debt discounts     -       -  
Balance, Ending   $ -     $ -  

 

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 September 30, 2017, the carrying value of the notes payable and accrued interest for convertible agreements and officers’ notes was approximately $1,681,665. 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 September 30, 2017.

Due to very limited financial resources, the Company has not been able to fund research and development of the SmartNanao battery during the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

 

Discontinuance of Jump Starter Products during Fiscal Year 2016

 

In June, 2016 the Company conditionally sold a patent covering a portion of its Jump product line for $25,000, in two installments each for $12,500, recording other income in its discontinued operations of that amount in the year ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017.

 

Commencing in April of 2016, the Company began discontinuing its line of Jump Starter products due to increased competition and declining margins. The Company continues the wind-down of its remaining inventory of such products, estimated to have values of $3,477 & $3,477 as of September 30, 2017 & June 30, 2017 (See Note 1 under the caption “Discontinued Operations”).

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

 

Revenues. Revenue, if any, has primarily been attributable to sales of its Jump and Mini Jump Products. Owing to increased competition, contracting margins and the inability to fund volume purchases of inventory at favorable prices, the Company decided to discontinue its line of Jump Starter 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.

 

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.

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.

 

The Company believes the certain conversion features embedded in convertible notes payable are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the Company’s stock price. Accordingly, the Company has recognized derivative liabilities in connection with such instruments. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the date of issuance at every balance sheet thereafter. The Company uses judgment in determining which valuation is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., Black Scholes), the expected volatility, the implied risk free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate.

Transactions with Officers

 

At various points during past fiscal years Messrs, Durando, Dotoli and Smiley provided bridge loans to the Company evidenced by individual promissory notes and deferred compensation so as to provide working capital to the Company. All of the notes are payable on demand.

  

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $10,076 and $9,082 have been charged for interest on loans from officers.

 

At September 30, 2017 the aggregate principal amount of the officers’ loans together with accrue interest totaled $679,604. At June 30, 2017 the officers’ loans together with accrue interest totaled $658,311.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company has incurred cumulative losses of ($211,055,476) and a working capital deficit of ($3,537,730) as of September 30, 2017. The auditors’ report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 includes the statement that “there is substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern”. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a negative net worth of ($3,536,930) compared to a negative net worth of ($4,508,943) as of June 30, 2017 as a result of the non recurring gain on debt extinguishments.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 100,000,000 shares of its common stock in connection with private placements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, raising gross proceeds of $5,000 and incurring finder’s fees of $500. The proceeds were used by the Company as working capital. During the same quarter the officers advanced approximately $11,200 to the Company to fund limited operating activity.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company did not issue any common stock in private placements. During the same quarter the officers deferred $54,000 of salary and advanced approximately $8,500 to the Company to fund limited operating activity.

 

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 does not expect to derive any material revenue from its nanotechnology product development until after a deployment and custom tailoring of its Smart Nanobattery. This is not expected to occur in the foreseeable future owing to its current financial condition which does not allow further work to complete the product, if possible, when and if the Company can recapitalize.

MANAGEMENT’S PLANS AND CURRENT STATUS

 

The Company is curtailing its efforts with respect to selling its line of automotive jump starter products owing to increased competition resulting in poor margins as a result of commodity pricing of such products. The Company is seeking alternative products for development but does not foresee a definitive path to revenues to replace the winding down of its line of automotive jump products. The Company has faced significant challenges in funding sufficient inventory of such products to compete successfully with larger competitors selling such product.

 

The Company is considering strategic alternatives to best monetize its remaining patent portfolio restructuring and revising its debt obligations and Capital structure. The Company and the note holder for arrangements 1, JMJ Financial, had been renegotiating the settlement of these agreements; At June 30, 2017 the amount recorded in Current Liabilities for the two notes and accrued interest thereon subject to the River North Equity claim was $1,046,416. Such amount is included in the amount recorded in Current Liabilities for all three convertible notes and accrued interest thereon previously issued to JMJ Financial which totaled $1,212,940 on that date. River North Equity LLC which had purchased notes previously issued to JMJ Financial failed to appeal a Judgement in favor of the Company negating such Notes by July 17, 2017 and the Judgement become final. As a result of this proceeding the Company recorded the cancellation of the two notes assigned to River North from JMJ Financial for a total of $693,060 of principal and $358,534 accrued interest thereon. This resulted in a $1,051,594 gain from the cancellation of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The Company, subsequent to the River North Equity and judicial action denying enforcement of such Notes, has been negotiating a settlement for the remaining $109,000 of principle and $59,158 of accrued interest thereon due to JMJ.

 

On August 18, 2017 the Company entered into a Judgment Settlement Agreement with John Fife with respect to the Judgment in favor of Fife, which reduces the balance under the amended agreement to $360,000, without conversion rights, in connection with the default by the Company under a Convertible Debenture dated September 13, 2011. At September 30, 2017 we had recorded $828,2005 for the value of the forbearance debt obligation. as amended.

 

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. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or if so, on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company is not exposed to changes in interest rates as the Company has no debt arrangements and no investments in certain held-to-maturity securities. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of any financial instruments at September 30, 2017.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

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.

 

The Company did identify control deficiencies regarding its present accounting structure:

 

Lack of segregation of duties and control procedures that would include multiple levels of supervision and review have both been limited due to the reduced level of accounting staff and the Company’s lack of funding.

 

The Company remediated these deficiencies by increasing the role of an external contract controller.

 

There was a change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, which included the laying off the Company’s accounting manager, which the Company remediated by the increased involvement of an external contract controller. The result of the changes in our internal control over financial reporting and the Company’s remediation steps to address the change, the Company believes it has made the necessary adjustments so that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 for previous notes with John Fife totaled $719,449; 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.

 

On November 20, 2012, mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) formally received an Event of Default and Redemption Notice dated November 16, 2012 with respect to an 8% Convertible Note dated September 13, 2011 issued by the Company to St. George Investments LLC and assigned to John Fife. The notice included alleged defaults with respect to payments owed by the Company under the Convertible Note and the failure to convert the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock. The alleged amount owed according to the notice is approximately $902,279.

 

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 including an appeal of the Judgment which the Company concluded would have a low probability of success.

 

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, (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 15th 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.

The Forbearance agreement required the Company to place, and the Company had 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 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 filed such a proxy statement due to cost prohibitions. The Company had 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. The value of the forbearance debt obligation on June 30, 2015 was $902,253.

As of June 30, 2017 this forbearance obligation, as amended, 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 625,000,000 shares, for the satisfaction of the next required monthly payment, and (ii) up to 10,123,399,750 shares of our common stock should the entire obligation be converted.

 

On August 18, 2017 the Company entered into a Judgment Settlement Agreement with John Fife with respect to the Judgment in favor of Fife, which reduces the balance under the amended agreement to $360, 000, without conversion rights, in connection with the default by the Company under a Convertible Debenture dated September 13, 2011.

 

As of September 30, 2017 this forbearance obligation, as amended, 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 625,000,000 shares, for the satisfaction of the next required monthly payment, and (ii) up to 10,350,062,518 shares of our common stock should the entire obligation be converted.
