NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization and Nature of Business

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are collectively referred to herein as “mPhase,” “XDSL”, “Company,” “us,” or “we.”

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of New Jersey in 1979 under the name Tecma Laboratory, Inc. and has subsequently operated under Tecma Laboratories, Inc., and Lightpaths TP Technologies, Inc., until June 2, 1997 when the Company changed its name to mPhase Technologies, Inc.

 

On January 11, 2019, the Company underwent a major change in management and control. New management of the Company is positioning the Company to be a technology leader in artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning while enabling a more rapid commercial development of its patent portfolio and other intellectual property. The Company believes there are significant opportunities to embed artificial intelligence and machine learning into business operations, platform architectures, business services, and customer experiences, whereby its goal is to generate significant revenue from its artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.

 

On February 15, 2019, the Company acquired Travel Buddhi, a software platform to enhance travel via ultra-customization tools that tailor a planned trip experience in ways not previously available.

 

On June 30, 2019, the Company acquired 99% of the outstanding common shares of Alpha Predictions LLP (“Alpha Predictions”). Alpha Predictions is an India-based technology company that has developed a suite of commercial data analysis products for use across multiple industries. This acquisition has been integrated into the Company’s international operations and as expected, has driven revenue growth and innovation.

 

On May 11, 2020, the Company acquired CloseComms, a patented, software application platform that can be integrated into a retail customer’s existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, giving the retailer important customer data and enabling AI-enhanced, targeted promotions to drive store traffic and sales.

 

During 2021, the Company announced that it would be adding EV+ (electric vehicle) charging network and consumer engagement platform as part of a major strategic initiative to monetize additional points of contact during consumer travel and travel planning. During the course of 2021, the Company actively planned pilot programs in EV+ (electric vehicle) charging network and, as part of a larger strategy to build an AI-driven consumer ecosystem. By late-2021, the Company transitioned into a “green” consumer company, serving as an important bridge between consumers, retailers, and service providers.

 

The Company can best be described as a technology company focused on consumer engagement using data analytics and artificial intelligence to create a monetizable link between consumers and retailers at opportunistic times and places. The Company is currently building a connected ecosystem that includes EV charging and software solutions that optimize consumer engagement within the framework of a SaaS/TaaS model. Branded under the mPower name, this ecosystem will empower the way people shop, dine, fuel and interact with the world to create a richer life experience. The mPower ecosystem is tailored to each individual’s tastes and needs, with particular emphasis on empowering tomorrow’s green consumer. The Company has data driven business units generating recurring revenue outside of its consumer ecosystem, in addition to legacy nanobattery technology and a related patent portfolio that are slated for future development. The Company plans to expand into other markets, both in the United States and globally, where it believes its technology and services will provide a distinct competitive advantage over its competition.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

 

Concurrently, the Company continues to pursue strategic alternatives to best monetize its patent portfolio, including partnering to exploit opportunities for its drug delivery system. The Company continues seeking to obtain government funding available under the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security including The Department of Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (“DOTC”), Small Business Innovative Research (“SBIR”), Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (“CRADA”) and similar programs for targeted applications for its smart nano-battery applications.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 include the operations of mPhase and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, mPower Technologies, Inc., Medds, Inc., mPhase Technologies India Private Limited effective March 19, 2019, and Alpha Predictions LLP effective June 30, 2019. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 13, 2021. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, surfaced during December 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. During March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. During certain periods of the pandemic thus far, a number of U.S. states and various countries throughout the world had been under governmental orders requiring that all workers remain at home unless their work was critical, essential, or life-sustaining. As a result of these governmental orders, the Company temporarily closed its domestic and international offices and required all of its employees to work remotely. As economic activity has begun and continues recovering, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has been more reflective of greater economic and marketplace dynamics. Furthermore, in light of variant strains of the virus that have emerged, the COVID-19 pandemic could once again impact our operations and the operations of our customers and vendors as a result of quarantines, illnesses, and travel restrictions.

 

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic, its impact on the Company’s employees, customers, and vendors, in addition to how quickly normal economic conditions and operations resume and whether the pandemic impacts other risks disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Even after the pandemic has subsided, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred as a result of the pandemic. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time. The Company continues to actively monitor the pandemic and may determine to take further actions that alter its business operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, vendors, and shareholders. The Company applied for a loan under the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES ACT”). During April 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $33,333 under the SBA PPP of the CARES Act (see Note 6: Notes Payable).
