Company Information

Our principal executive office is located at 4240 International Parkway, Suite 105, Carrollton, Texas 75007 and our telephone number is (214) 654-5000. Our website address is www.iphase.com. The information contained in, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this report and should not be considered part of this report.

Private Placement

On August 13, 2014, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with, and consummated a private placement of an aggregate of 1,367,000 shares of our common stock to, an institutional “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act, pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the common stock purchase agreement, on the same day we entered into a registration rights agreement with the investor, which is the selling shareholder described herein. In accordance with the registration rights granted under that agreement, we are registering for resale by the selling shareholder the shares of our common stock issued in the private placement.

The Offering

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risk factors incorporated herein by reference from “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014, and the additional risks and uncertainties described below, before purchasing our common stock. Any of these risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock and the value of your investment in our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our operations.

Risks Related toShareholders’ Sales of Shares, Including Those Issued in the Private Placement

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets or significant short sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock or other equity-related securities in the public markets, could depress the market price of our common stock. If there are significant short sales of our stock, the price decline that could result from this activity may cause the share price to decline more so, which, in turn, may cause long holders of the common stock to sell their shares, thereby contributing to sales of common stock in the market. Such sales also may impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable, if at all.

We may not be able to maintain effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which could impact the liquidity of our common stock.

Under the terms of the registration rights agreement with the selling shareholder, we are obligated to include the shares of common stock issued in the private placement in an effective registration statement. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is intended to satisfy that obligation. We also agreed to use our commerciallyreasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the registration statement, but may not be able to do so. We cannot assure you that we will not be required to suspend or cease sales under the registration statement, that the SEC will not issue any stop order to suspend the effectiveness of the registration statement or that, if such a stop order is issued, we will be able to amend the registration statement to respond to the stop order to permit sales to be made under the registration statement. Under the registration rights agreement, if the effectiveness of the registration statement is suspended for certain specified time periods, then, subject to certain exceptions, we may be obligated to pay certain liquidated damages to the selling shareholder. Also, to the extent the registration statement is not effective, the selling shareholder’s ability to sell the shares of common stock may be limited, which could (depending on the extent of the selling shareholder’s selling activity) have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling shareholder.

The selling shareholder will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the selling shareholder for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the selling shareholder in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including (without limitation) all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.

SELLING SHAREHOLDER

When we refer to the “selling shareholder” in this prospectus, we are referring to the shareholder identified in the table below. This prospectus covers the resale of shares of our common stock, which we sold in a private placement to the selling shareholder, as an institutional “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act, pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The selling shareholder may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any part of, all or none of the shares listed below. We are required, under the registration rights agreement described above, to register for resale the shares of our common stock described in the table below. We are registering the shares to permit the selling shareholder to resell the shares when the selling shareholder deems appropriate.

The following table provides information regarding the selling shareholder, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling shareholder and the number of shares of common stock it is offering. The selling shareholder has not had any position, office or material relationship with us within the past three years other than as a shareholder of the Company.    

Percentages of beneficial ownership are based upon 8,377,106 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of August 22,29, 2014. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to shares owned and including any shares that grant the selling shareholder the right to acquire common stock within 60 days after August 22,29, 2014. Beneficial ownership includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting or investment power. To our knowledge, as described below, the selling shareholder, First Dallas Holdings, Inc. (“FDHI”), Craig D. Hodges and Hodges Capital Management, Inc. (“HCM”) have shared voting and investment power with respect to the shares.

The selling shareholder may sell some, all or none of its shares. We do not know how long the selling shareholder will hold the shares before selling them, and (except for the registration rights agreement) we currently have no agreement, arrangement or understanding with the selling shareholder regarding the sale or other disposition of any of the shares. The shares covered hereby may be offered from time to time by the selling shareholder. The information in the table is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling shareholder. Information concerning the selling shareholder may change from time to time, and, if and when necessary, any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus. In addition, the selling shareholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which it provided the information, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling shareholder in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The class of securities offered under this prospectus is our Common Stock, which has been registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The securities being offered for resale by the selling shareholder under this prospectus consist of 1,367,000shares of our common stock acquired by the selling shareholder in our private placement which closed on August 13, 2014, with gross proceeds to us of approximately $3.3 million. The selling shareholder may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of common stock covered hereby or its interests in the shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the common stock is traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling shareholder may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:

The selling shareholder may also sell the shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction, not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440, and in the case of a principal transaction, a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the shares or interests therein, the selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholder may also, to the extent permitted under Rule 105 of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act, sell common stock short and deliver these shares to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these shares. The selling shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling shareholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling shareholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholder and have informed it of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the resale of the shares with the SEC. We have also agreed to indemnify the selling shareholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with. We have agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date that all shares covered by the registration statement have been sold or can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 (including the requirement to maintain the availability of public information regarding us under Rule 144(c)(1)) or (ii) the date that is three years following August 13, 2014.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following table sets forth the fees and expenses payable by the registrant in connection with the sale of the shares being registered hereby. The selling shareholder may incur additional expenses in connection with the sale, such as underwriting discounts and commissions, which it will bear. All amounts shown are estimates, except the SEC registration fee.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), provide that no director will be liable to the registrant or its shareholders for any monetary damages for any act or omission in the director’s capacity as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the registrant or its shareholders, (2) for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for any transaction for which the director received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director’s office, or (4) for any act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by statute.

The registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that the registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers against any and all liability and reasonable expense that may be incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any proceeding of any kind, any appeal in any such proceeding, or any investigation that could lead to any such proceeding, all to the fullest extent permitted by Texas statutory or decisional law. Chapter 8 of Title 1 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”) permits a for-profit corporation to indemnify a director or an officer who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent in a proceeding because the person was or is a director or an officer if it is determined that such person (1) conducted himself in good faith, (2) reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director or an officer, that his conduct was in the corporation’s best interests, or (b) in any other case, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A for-profit corporation may indemnify against a judgment and against any other reasonable expenses (including settlement amounts) actually incurred by the director or officer in connection with a proceeding. Also, the TBOC requires a for-profit corporation to indemnify a director or an officer (x) against reasonable expenses actually incurred by a director or an officer who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defending a proceeding, and (y) to the extent that a court, in light of all relevant circumstances, orders indemnification.

The Bylaws also require the registrant to pay or reimburse a director or an officer, in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, all reasonable expenses incurred as a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Texas statutory or decisional law. The TBOC permits expenses to be so advanced by a for-profit corporation if the corporation receives (1) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good-faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (2) a written undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified.

As permitted by the TBOC, the Bylaws further authorize the registrant to purchase and maintain insurance against liability asserted against a director or an officer incurred in such capacity and to enter into an agreement or other arrangement for the benefit of a director or an officer. The registrant maintains a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering its directors and officers in an amount that the registrant believes is appropriate. The registrant has also entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and officers that requires the registrant to indemnify and advance expenses to the director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law and specifies certain procedures regarding such indemnification and advancement of expenses.

The various indemnification provisions and insurance coverage may extend to certain liabilities under the Securities Act and other securities laws. See paragraph (c) in “Item 17 Undertakings.” below for the SEC’s position regarding certain indemnification provisions.
