NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Description of Business
Zedge, Inc. (“Zedge”) builds digital
marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves. Our leading products include Zedge Ringtones
and Wallpapers, a freemium digital content marketplace offering mobile phone wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification
sounds which historically was branded as Zedge Premium, and GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge game. Our vision is to connect creators
who enjoy friendly competitions with a community of prospective consumers in order to drive commerce. Except where the context clearly
indicates otherwise, the terms the “Company,” “Zedge” “we,” “us” or “our” refer
to Zedge, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of Zedge, Inc. and its subsidiaries, GuruShots Ltd. (“GuruShots”), Zedge Europe AS and Zedge Lithuania
UAB (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2023 or any other period. The balance sheet at July 31, 2022 has been derived
from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required
by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022 (the “2022
Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31
of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal
2022 refers to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022).
Reportable Segments
Effective August 1, 2022, the Company revised the
presentation of segment information to reflect its acquisition of GuruShots (see Note 5). As such, the Company now reports operating results
through two reportable segments: Zedge App and GuruShots, as further discussed in Note 12
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the
economic environment due to various global events. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual
results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be affected. The Company bases its estimates on past experience
and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company evaluates these estimates on an
ongoing basis.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial
Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets
held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires consideration
of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. These changes will result in an earlier recognition of credit losses.
The Company’s financial assets held at amortized cost include accounts receivable. The amendments in ASU 2020-05 deferred the effective
date for Topic 326 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt the new standard effective August 1, 2023
and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08,
Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities From Contracts With Customers. ASU 2021-08 requires an acquirer in a business
combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance
in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than the prior
requirement to record them at fair value. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard effective August 1, 2023 and does not expect
the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
With the exception of the standards discussed
above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended
April 30, 2023, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, that are of significance
or potential significance to the Company.
Related Party Transactions
The Company was formerly a majority-owned subsidiary
of IDT Corporation (“IDT”). On June 1, 2016, IDT’s interest in the Company was spun-off by IDT to IDT’s stockholders
and the Company became an independent public-held company. IDT charges the Company for services it provides, and the Company charges IDT
for services it provides, pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”).
The Company is party to a consulting agreement
with Activist Artist Management, LLC (“Activist”), which assists the Company in strategic business development. A member of
the Company’s Board of Directors owns a significant minority stake in Activist.
Transactions with these related parties did not
have a material impact to the consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2023 or July 31, 2022, or the consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 or 2022.

Note- GuruShots’ operating results are consolidated with our
operating results beginning on April 13, 2022. Accordingly, GuruShots’ revenue shown in the above table represents only revenue
from April 13, 2022 to April 30, 2022.
Contract Balances
The Company enters into contracts with its customers,
which may give rise to contract liabilities (deferred revenue) and contract assets (unbilled revenue). The payment terms and conditions
within the Company’s contracts vary by products or services purchased, the substantial all of which are due in less than one year.
When the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of payments made by customers, the Company recognizes only deferred revenue
(customer payment is received in advance of performance). The Company does not have unbilled revenue (its performance precedes the billing
date).
Deferred revenues
On April 1, 2022, the AppLovin Corporation paid
the Company a one-time integration bonus of $2 million for migrating to their mediation platform. This amount is being amortized over
an estimated service period of 24 months. The Company’s deferred revenue balance related to this bonus was approximately $0.9 million
and $1.7 million as of April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company records deferred revenues related to
the unsatisfied performance obligations with respect to subscription revenue. The Company’s deferred revenue balance related to
paid subscriptions was approximately $1.4 million related to approximately 631,000 active subscribers, and approximately $1.5 million,
related to approximately 692,000 active subscribers as of April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively. The amount of revenue related
to subscribers recognized in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at July 31, 2022 was
$1.4 million.
The Company also records deferred revenues when
users purchase or earn Zedge Credits. Unused Zedge Credits represent the value of the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligation
to its users. Revenue is recognized when Zedge App users use Zedge Credits to acquire Zedge Premium content or upon expiration of the
Zedge Credits upon 180 days of account inactivity (“Breakage”). As of April 30, 2023, and July 31, 2022, the Company’s
deferred revenue balance related to Zedge Premium was approximately $268,000 and $259,000, respectively.
Total deferred revenues decreased by $0.8 million
from $3.4 million at July 31, 2022 to $2.6 million at April 30, 2023, primarily attributed to the amortization of the one-time integration
bonus mentioned above.
Significant Judgments
The advertising networks and advertising exchanges
to which the Company sell its inventory track and report the impressions and revenues to Zedge and Zedge recognizes revenues based on
these reports. The networks and exchanges base their payments off of those reports and Zedge independently compares the data to each of
the client sites to validate the imported data and identify any differences. The number of impressions and revenues delivered by the advertising
networks and advertising exchanges is determined at the end of each month, which resolves any uncertainty in the transaction price during
the reporting period.
Practical Expedients
The Company expenses the fees retained by Google
Play and App Store related to subscription revenue when incurred as marketing expense because the duration of the contracts for which
the Company pays commissions are less than one year. These costs are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses of the
condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration related to the business
combinations discussed below in Note 5 are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value uses
considerable judgement and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the
asset or liability.
The following table provides a rollforward of the
contingent consideration related to the GuruShots acquisition (in thousands):
Balance at July 31, 2022 | |
$ | 1,943 | |
Change in fair value | |
| (1,943 | ) |
Balance at April 30, 2023 | |
$ | 0 | |
The overall fair value of the contingent consideration
decreased by $1,943,000 during the nine months ended April 30, 2023, due primarily to the decrease in the likelihood that certain contingent
milestones would be achieved.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
Fair value of the outstanding foreign exchange
forward contracts are marked to market price at the end of each measurement period.
The Company’s other financial instruments
at April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022 included trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. The carrying amounts of the trade accounts
receivable and trade accounts payable approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.
Note 4—Derivative Instruments
The primary risk managed by the Company using derivative
instruments is foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into as hedges against unfavorable fluctuations in
the U.S. Dollar (USD) to Norwegian Kroner (NOK) and USD to Euro (EUR) exchange rates. The Company is party to a Foreign Exchange Agreement
with WAB allowing the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts under its revolving credit facility with the bank (see Note 11).
The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts, and therefore the changes in fair value are recorded in unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. By using derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to changes
in foreign exchange rates, the Company is exposed to credit risk from the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the
contract. The credit or repayment risk is minimized by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.
The outstanding contracts at April 30, 2023, were as follows:

Note 5—Business Combination and Assets Acquisition
GuruShots Acquisition
On April 12, 2022, the Company consummated the
acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity securities of GuruShots, Ltd., an Israeli company that operates a platform used for its
competitive photography game available across iOS, Android and the web. The acquisition was effected pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement
(the “SPA”) between the Company, GuruShots and the holders of the GuruShots equity interests. This acquisition was accounted
for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations of GuruShots have been included
in the Company’s results of operations as of the acquisition date.
The purchase price for the equity securities of
GuruShots consists of approximately $18 million in cash paid at closing and contingent payments (the “Earnout”) of up to a
maximum of $8.4 million due on each of the first and second anniversaries from the closing, payable either in cash or Class B common stock
of the Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s discretion, and subject to GuruShots achieving certain financial targets
set forth in the SPA. The fair value of the earnout amount at the acquisition date was estimated at $5.9 million based on a Monte Carlo
simulation model in an option pricing framework, whereby a range of possible scenarios were simulated. This fair value was reduced from
$5.9 million to $1.9 million as of July 31, 2022 and further reduced to $0 as of April 30, 2023. See Note 3, Fair Value Measurements,
for additional discussion of contingent consideration as of April 30, 2023.
Under the SPA, the Company agreed to make certain minimum investments
in user acquisition for GuruShots in the period covered by the Earnout, subject to the acquired users generating minimum levels of Return
On Ad Spend (“ROAS”) as set forth in the SPA. As of April 30, 2023, based on the Company’s assessment of ROAS, including
the combination of industry-specific, macroeconomic, and geopolitical challenges that negatively impacted ROAS during the period, the
Company did not make the minimum investment for the first annual period covered by the Earnout.
In addition, the Company has committed to a retention
pool of $4 million in cash and 626,242 shares of the Company Class B common stock (the number of shares was determined based on a value
of $4 million or $6.39 per share which was the volume weighted average closing prices of the Class B common stock on the NYSE American
Exchange for the thirty trading days ended April 12, 2022) for GuruShots’ founders and employees that will be payable or vest, as
applicable, over three years from April 1, 2022 based on the beneficiaries thereof remaining employed by the Company or a subsidiary.
On April 17, 2023, 205,618 shares were vested with a fair value of $1.93 per share.
The parties to the SPA have made customary representations,
warranties and covenants therein. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the SPA and
are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed by the respective parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the SPA.
The cash purchase price and the earnout have been
allocated to GuruShots’ tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values.
The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and those estimates
and assumptions are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information for those estimates during the measurement period.
The excess of the total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities was recorded as
goodwill which was $8.9 million at closing.
The Company recorded a measurement period adjustment
of $180,000 in the three month period ended July 31, 2022 which reduced the goodwill balance from $8.9 million to $8.7 million. The Company
wrote off the remaining goodwill balance and recorded a loss on goodwill impairment of $8.7 million in the three month period ended April
30, 2023 as discussed below in Note 6.
The allocation of the preliminary purchase price

The cash consideration paid includes $2.7 million
deposited with the escrow agent that is available to satisfy for post-closing indemnification claims made within 18 months of the acquisition
date. There have been no claims made as of April 30, 2023.
The earnout amount to be paid (up to the maximum
of $16.8 million) will be determined based upon the satisfaction of certain defined operational milestones and will be remeasured at fair
value at each reporting period through earnings. As the fair value is based on unobservable inputs, the liabilities are included in Level
3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the earnout which is
assumed to be paid in cash include management’s reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of payment based on the satisfaction
of certain defined operational milestones and discount rates based on cost of debt. Please see Note 3 for the fair value measurement.
The Company has issued 601,192 (net of forfeiture
of 25,050 shares for employees who left the Company) shares of the Company’s Class B common in respect of the retention pool to
the GuruShots founders and employees, which are held by a trustee based in Israel. These shares will vest, in equal tranches, over three
years from April 1, 2023 assuming that the recipients remain employed by the Company or a subsidiary through the vesting dates, 205,618
shares vested on April 1, 2023. The grant date fair value of these unvested restricted stock of $4 million is not included as purchase
consideration above, as it has a post-combination service requirement and will be accounted for separately from the business combination
as stock compensation expense. Additionally, the founders and employees are also entitled to receive an aggregate of up to $4 million
retention cash bonus over three years subject to the same continued service requirement, which was not included in the purchase price
above. As of April 30, 2023, the Company has accrued $1.4 million in retention bonus which is included in accrued expenses and other current
liabilities, of which $1.3 million was paid in May 2023.
Identified intangible assets consist of trade names,
technology and customer relationships. The fair value of intangible assets and the determination of their respective useful lives were
made in accordance with ASC 805 and are outlined in the table below:

$ | 15,320 | | |

The Company’s initial fair value estimates
related to the various identified intangible assets were determined under various valuation approaches including the relief-from-royalty
method and multi-period excess earnings. These valuation methods require management to project revenues, operating expenses, working capital
investment, capital spending and cash flows for GuruShots over a multiyear period, as well as determine the weighted average cost of capital
to be used as a discount rate.
The Company amortizes its intangible assets assuming
no residual value over periods in which the economic benefit of these assets is consumed.
The Company recorded the excess of the purchase
price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. The Company believes that the investment value of the future enhancement
of the Company’s products and offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price
that resulted in the recognition of $8.9 million of goodwill, which was subsequent reduced by $180,000 and to $0 as discussed below in
Note 6. $2.8 million of the write-off of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal,
due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to
be expensed as incurred. During fiscal 2022, we incurred $860,000 of acquisition-related costs, which are included in Selling, General
and Administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma financial information for
all periods presented below has been calculated after adjusting the results of a combined Zedge and GuruShots to reflect the business
combination accounting effects resulting from this acquisition, including acquisition costs and the amortization expense from acquired
intangible assets as though the acquisition occurred on August 1, 2020. The information below reflects adjustments to Zedge’s historical
consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the business combination. The pro
forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been
achieved if the acquisition had taken place on August 1, 2020.

been prepared utilizing the three and nine months ended April 30th for Zedge and March 31st for GuruShots. |
The unaudited pro forma financial information includes
the following adjustments, net of any tax impacts:
| (i) | incremental
amortization expense recognized based on fair value of intangible assets recorded upon acquisition of GuruShots; |
| (ii) | incremental
compensation expense related to the vesting of retention awards to GuruShots employees consisting of restricted stock awards and cash
payments; and |
| (iii) | the
reversal of historical fair value adjustments and interest expense recorded on GuruShots’ convertible notes that were settled on
the acquisition date. |
| (iv) | income
tax expense (benefit) was adjusted for the impact of the above adjustments for each period. |
Transaction costs related to the acquisition of
GuruShots incurred during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For pro
forma purposes, these expenses were reclassified to the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma financial information
is for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s operating results would have been had the
GuruShots Acquisition taken place on August 1, 2020.
GuruShots’ operating results are consolidated
with our operating results beginning on April 13, 2022. Therefore, our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months
ended April 30, 2023 may not be comparable to the corresponding periods in 2022. GuruShots’ results of operations
included in our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 include revenues of $0.3
million and a net loss of $0.2 million.
Emojipedia Acquisition
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, on August
1, 2021 (“Closing”), the Company consummated the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Emojipedia Pty Ltd, a proprietary
company organized under the laws of Australia. The total purchase price of the assets was $6.7 million, of which $4.8 million was paid
on August 2, 2021, $917,000 was paid on February 1, 2022, and the remaining $962,000 paid on August 2, 2022. The $4.8 million was funded
into an escrow account and classified as other assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2021.
The assets purchased include emojipeida.org, a
set of smaller websites, a bank of emoji related URLs related to the seller’s business, including World Emoji Day, the annual World
Emoji Awards, and Emojitracker. The asset purchase does not qualify as a business combination under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations,
and has therefore been accounted for as an asset acquisition. The total purchase price for this acquisition was allocated to intangible
assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of fifteen years.

days of intangible amortization expenses related to GuruShots in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 following the April 12,
2022 acquisition date.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the
purchase price and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination (see Note 5). The Company reviews goodwill
yearly, or more frequently whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may
not be recovered, for impairment by initially considering qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, as a basis for determining whether it is necessary
to perform a quantitative analysis. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of reporting unit is less
than its carrying amount, a quantitative analysis is performed to identify goodwill impairment. If it is determined that it is not more
likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it is unnecessary to perform a quantitative
analysis. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing a quantitative analysis.
The Company has two reporting units and assesses
impairment based upon qualitative factors and if necessary, quantitative factors. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined using the
income approach and discounted cash flow models by utilizing Level 3 inputs and assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates,
long-term growth rates, market value and income tax considerations. Specifically, the value of each reporting unit is determined on a
stand-alone basis from the perspective of a market participant and represents the price estimated to be received in a sale of the reporting
unit in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company then reconciles the values of all reporting
units to the market capitalization of the Company.
Interim Impairment Assessment
The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment
tests on May 1 each year (the first day of fiscal 4th quarter) based on information available as of April 30 in accordance
with ASC 350-20-35-28. In light of a significant and sustained decline in the Company’s Class B common stock price, circumstances
became evident that a possible goodwill impairment existed since last annual impairment test. The Company performed an interim impairment
test during the quarter and concluded that the carrying value of the GuruShots reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, the
Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $8.7 million during the three month period ended April 30, 2023.
The following table summarizes the changes in the
carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022.

Note 8—Stock-Based Compensation
2016 Incentive Plan
On March 23, 2022, the Company’s Board of
Directors amended the Company’s 2016 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the “2016 Incentive Plan”)
to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available for the grant of awards thereunder by an additional
685,000 shares to an aggregate of 2,531,000 shares, including 626,000 shares for the GuruShots retention pool. This amendment was ratified
by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 18, 2023.
On November 10, 2021, the Company’s Board
of Directors amended the 2016 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available
for the grant of awards thereunder by an additional 325,000 shares to an aggregate of 1,846,000 shares. This amendment was ratified by
the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 12, 2022.
At April 30, 2023, there were 448,000 shares of
Class B common stock available for awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan before accounting for the 204,000 contingently issuable shares
related to the deferred stock units (“DSUs”) with both service and market conditions.
Stock-based compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation
for stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and DSUs based on the estimated fair value of the awards and recognized
over the relevant service period and/or market conditions. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the measurement date
using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company estimates the fair value of the restricted stock and DSU’s with service
conditions only using the current market price of the stock. The Company estimates the fair value of the DSU’s with both service
and market conditions using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model.
The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation
models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend
yield. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to options and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis
over the service period of the award, which is generally 4 years for options and 3 years for restricted stock units.
In our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for our employees and
non-employees as follows:

As of April 30, 2023, the Company’s unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense was $350,000 for unvested stock options, $804,000 for unvested DSUs and $2.5 million for unvested restricted
stock including the $4 million portion of retention bonus to be paid in the Company’s Class B common stock in connection with the
GuruShots acquisition.
In the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022,
awards with respect to 237,000 shares and 65,000 shares vested. In connection with this vesting, the Company purchased 6,310 shares and
16,115 shares respectively of Class B Stock from certain employees for $17,000 and $232,000 respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations
in connection with the vesting of restricted stock and DSUs.
Repricing of Outstanding and Unexercised
Options
On October 20, 2022, the Board unanimously approved
the repricing of all outstanding and unexercised stock options granted under the 2016 Plan with exercise prices above the then current
market value held by then current employees, executive officers, and consultants of the Company (the “Eligible Stock Options”).
Effective October 20, 2022, the exercise price of the eligible stock options was reduced to $2.27, the closing price of its common stock
on October 19, 2022. Except for the modification to the exercise price of the Eligible Stock Options, all other terms and conditions of
each of the Eligible Stock Options remained in full force and effect.
Pursuant to the 2016 Incentive Plan, the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors, as the administrator, has discretionary authority, exercisable on such terms and conditions that
it deems appropriate under the circumstances, to reduce the exercise price in effect for outstanding options under the 2016 Incentive
Plan. In approving the repricing, the Compensation Committee considered the impact of the current exercise prices of outstanding stock
options on the incentives provided to employees and consultants, the lack of retention value provided by the outstanding stock options
to employees and consultants, and the impact of such options on the capital structure of the Company. As of October, 2022, there were
532,750 stock options outstanding under the 2016 Incentive Plan, of which 191,663 outstanding stock options had exercise prices in excess
of the market price of the Company’s common stock as of October 20, 2022, which is why the Compensation Committee made the determination
to deem all outstanding and unexercised stock options held by current employees, executive officers, and consultants as Eligible Stock
Options.
Jonathan Reich, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer, and Yi Tsai, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, hold Eligible Stock Options exercisable for an aggregate of 64,898
and 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.
The option repricing resulted in incremental stock-based
compensation of $87,000, of which $48,000 was recorded as expense in the nine months ended April 30, 2023, and $39,000 will be recognized
as expense over the requisite service periods over which the Eligible Stock Options vest.
Note 9—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
net income attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of
common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per
share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture, issuances to be
made on the vesting of unvested DSUs and the exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the
effect of such increase is anti-dilutive.
The rights of holders of Class A common stock and
Class B common stock are identical except for certain voting and conversion rights and restrictions on transferability. As such, the Company
is not required to break out earnings per share by class.
The weighted-average number of shares used in the
calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following

For the three and nine months ended April
30, 2023, the diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss during those periods
and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and DSUs would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
In connection with the acquisition of GuruShots,
the Company has (i) committed to a retention pool of $4 million in cash to be paid to the founders and employees of GuruShots that will
be payable over three years from April 1, 2022 based on the beneficiaries thereof remaining employed by the Company or a subsidiary; and
(ii) agreed to make certain minimum investments in user acquisition for GuruShots in the period covered by the Earnout, subject to the
acquired users generating minimum levels of Return On Ad Spend as set forth in the SPA. As of April 30, 2023, based on the Company’s
assessment of ROAS, including the combination of industry-specific, macroeconomic, and geopolitical challenges that negatively impacted
ROAS during the period, the Company did not make the minimum investment for the first annual period covered by the Earnout.
Legal Proceedings
The Company may from time to time be subject to
other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company
does not expect any of those legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows
or financial condition.
Note 11—Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities
As of September 27, 2016, the Company entered into
a loan and security agreement with Western Alliance Bank (“WAB”) for a revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 million for
an initial two-year term which was extended twice for another two-year term which expired September 26, 2022 and was amended on October
28, 2022 as discussed below. The revolving credit facility was secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. Effective
with the September 2020 extension, the outstanding principal amount bore interest per annum at the greater of 3.5% or the prime rate plus
1.25%. Previously the interest rate was capped at 5.0%. Interest was payable monthly and all outstanding principal and any accrued and
unpaid interest was due on the maturity date of September 26, 2022. The Company was required to pay an annual facility fee of $10 to WAB.
The Company was also required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants and to maintain certain financial ratios during
the term of the revolving credit facility. The covenants included a prohibition on the Company paying any dividend on its capital stock.
At October 27, 2022 and July 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the Company was in compliance
with all of the covenants.
On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into an
Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (“Amended Loan Agreement”) with WAB. Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement,
WAB agreed to provide the Company with a new term loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $7 million for a four-year term and
a $4 million revolving credit facility for a two-year term. Amounts outstanding under the term loan and credit facility of the Amended
Loan Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 0.5%, with a Prime
“floor” rate of 4.00%.
Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company
discontinued the existing $2 million revolving credit facility under the prior version of the Loan and Security Agreement. At the time
of the discontinuance, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.
Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, $2 million
was advanced in a single-cash advance on October 28, 2022, with the remaining $5 million available for drawdown during twenty-four (24)
months after closing. Each drawdown must be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1 million). On May 11, 2023, the Company
entered into a Modification Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to modify the Amended Loan Agreement to reduce the remaining
$5 million availability to $0, see Note 15.
Interest accrued under the Amended Loan Agreement
is due monthly, and the Company shall make monthly interest-only payments related to the term loan through the eighteen (18) month anniversary
of the closing date. From the nineteen (19) month anniversary of the Closing Date through the maturity date, the Company shall repay each
outstanding term loan by paying the Applicable Term Advance Amortization Payment equal to 1/12th of 10% of the outstanding
term loan balance plus monthly payments of accrued interest, in each case payable on the tenth (10th) day of each month. Zedge’s
final payment for each Term Advance, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid
interest on such Term Advance. Once repaid, a Term Advance may not be reborrowed.
The Amended Loan Agreement may also require early
repayments if certain conditions are met. Borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of
the Company, its subsidiaries, and certain of its affiliates.
The Amended Loan Agreement includes the following
financial covenants:
| a) | Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Zedge shall maintain, at all times, a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00. This covenant shall be tested quarterly as of the end of each fiscal quarter. |
|
b) |
Maximum Debt to EBITDA. Zedge shall maintain, at all times, a ratio of (a) indebtedness owed by Zedge to WAB, to (b) Zedge’s EBITDA for the trailing twelve (12) month period ended on such date of determination, shall not be greater than the amount set forth under the heading “Maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio” as of, and for each of the dates appearing adjacent to such Maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio”. |

The Amended Loan Agreement also includes customary
negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit transfers, capital expenditures, indebtedness, certain liens, investments, acquisitions,
dispositions of assets, restricted payments and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties,
affirmative covenants and events of default, including cross defaults and a change of control default.
As of November 16, 2016, the Company entered into
a Foreign Exchange Agreement with WAB to allow the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts not to exceed $5.0 million in the
aggregate at any point in time under its revolving credit facility. This limit was raised to approximately $7.5 million pursuant to the
Loan and Security Modification Agreement dated May 30, 2018. The available borrowing under the revolving credit facility is reduced by
an applicable foreign exchange reserve percentage as determined by WAB, in its reasonable discretion from time to time, which was set
at 10% of the nominal amount of the foreign exchange contracts in effect at the relevant time. At April 30, 2023, there were $5.8 million
of outstanding foreign exchange contracts, which reduced the available borrowing under the revolving credit facility by $585,000.
Note 12—Segment and Geographic Information
Segment Information
Operating segments are components of an enterprise
about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”),
or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision
maker is its Chief Executive Officer as of April 30, 2023. Based on the criteria established by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the
Company had one operating and reportable segment as of July 31, 2022.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2023,
the Company revised the presentation of segment information to align with changes to how the Company’s CODM manages the business,
allocates resources and assesses operating performance reports operating results based on two reportable segments, which are Zedge App
and GuruShots.
The CODM evaluates the performance of each operating
segment using revenue and income (loss) from operations. The following table provides information about the Company’s two reportable

Note 13— Operating Leases
The Company has operating leases primarily for
office space. Operating lease right-of-use assets recorded and included in other assets were $324,000 and $204,000 at April 30, 2023 and
July 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company has one office
lease in Norway with a term that was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2024. This lease was extended on April 26, 2023 for an additional
three-year term from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027 at a cost of approximately $83,000 per year. The lease extension resulted
in the recognition of an additional right of use asset and a lease liability of $232,000 and $229,000, respectively, in the nine months
ended April 30, 2023.
Except for the lease extension discussed above,
there were no material changes in the Company’s operating and finance leases in the nine months ended April 30, 2023, as compared
to the disclosure regarding such leases in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
Note 14—Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision or benefit from
income taxes for interim periods has generally been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date income
and records the discrete tax items in the period to which they relate. In each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective
tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the tax provision as necessary.
The Company expects its overall effective tax
rate for fiscal year ending July 31, 2023 to be approximately 24% before any discrete items. During the third quarter the Company accounted
for various discrete items including stock-based compensation, contingent liability and goodwill impairment which resulted in a net effective
tax rate of approximately 10%.
As of April 30, 2023, the Company had $3.7 million
of deferred tax assets for which it has established a valuation allowance of $1.9 million, related to U.S. federal and state taxes and
for a certain international subsidiary.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United
States and certain foreign jurisdictions. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax. The material jurisdictions
where the Company is subject to potential examination by tax authorities include the United States, Norway, Lithuania and Israel.
Note 15—Subsequent Events
On May 11, 2023 the Company entered into a Modification
Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to modify the Amended Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth therein, including,
without limitation, reducing the maximum amount that can be advanced in respect of the Term Loan from $7 million to $2 million, and agreed
to keep cash deposit at WAB no less than 1.05 times total indebtedness to WAB. This will provide the Company with additional flexibility
in cash management operations, including the ability to deposit a greater portion of funds in FDIC-insured deposits and other secure vehicles,
as well as other commercial banking relationships.
