NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements of Zedge, Inc. and its subsidiary, Zedge Europe AS (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 10 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 months ended October 31, 2021 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2022 or any other period. The balance
sheet at July 31, 2021 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 year ended
July 31, 2021, 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 ending July 31, 2022).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated
financial statements in conformity with 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 current economic environment
due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting
for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted this new accounting standard
on August 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
With the exception of the accounting standard discussed
above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended
October 31, 2021, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.
Significant Accounting Policies
Other than intangible assets described below,
there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 2021.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets (see Note 16) are carried at
cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of fifteen years. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable
intangible assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the
assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash
flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying
value of the asset over its fair value. There have been no impairment charges recorded in the three months ended October 31, 2021 presented
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances
Deferred revenues
The Company records deferred revenues related
to the unsatisfied performance obligations with respect to subscription revenue. As of October 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred
revenue balance related to paid subscriptions was approximately $1,562,000, representing approximately 763,000 active subscribers including
those under the account hold designation implemented by Google Play on November 1, 2020. Account hold is a subscription state that
begins when a user’s form of payment fails and the three-day grace period has ended without payment resolution. The account hold
period lasts for up to 30 days. As of July 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred revenue balance related to paid subscriptions was approximately
$1,603,000, representing approximately 752,000 active subscribers. The amount of revenue recognized in the three months ended October
31, 2021 that was included in the deferred balance at July 31, 2021 was $717,000.
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. As of October 31, 2021, and July 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred revenue balance
related to Zedge Premium was approximately $241,000 and $218,000, respectively.
Total deferred revenues decreased by $18,000 from
$1,821,000 at July 31, 2021 to $1,803,000 at October 31, 2021, primarily attributed to the decline in new subscriptions sales in the three
months ended October 31, 2021 when compared to the prior period.
Significant Judgments
The advertising networks and advertising exchanges
to which we sell our inventory track and report the impressions and installs 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 installs 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 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 Consolidated Statements
of Comprehensive Income.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The Company’s other financial instruments
at October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021 included trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and due to seller of Emojipedia. The
carrying amounts of the trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and due to seller of Emojipedia 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 Western Alliance Bank allowing the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts under its revolving credit facility with the
bank (see Note 9). The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts, and therefore the changes in fair value are recorded
in consolidated statements of comprehensive 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 October 31, 2021, are as follows:

Note 6—Stock-Based Compensation
2016 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
On November 18, 2020, 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
250,000 shares to an aggregate of 1,521,000 shares. This amendment was ratified by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders held on January 11, 2021.
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 is subject to ratification
by the Company’s stockholders during the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on January 12, 2022. At October 31, 2021, there
were 425,000 shares of Class B Stock available for awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan before accounting for the 204,000 contingently
issuable shares related to the DSUs with both service and market conditions discussed below.
Stock Options
In August and October 2020, the Compensation
Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved grants of options to purchase an aggregate of 90,849 shares of Class B Stock
to various individuals including company executives, employees and consultants. Options with respect to 30,000 shares vested upon grant
with the remaining options with respect to 60,849 shares vesting over a three-year period. Grant date fair value related to the 30,000
vested options was $32,000 which was expensed immediately. Unrecognized compensation expense related to the 60,649 options grants was
an aggregate of $64,000 based on the estimated fair value of the options on the grant date. The unrecognized compensation expense is being
recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. As of October 31, 2021, the unrecognized compensation expense related to
the unvested portion of this grant was $42,500.
In October 2020, the Compensation Committee
extended the expiration date of options to purchase approximately 182,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock held by one
of the Company’s executive officers, from October 31, 2021 to May 31, 2026. Such options are fully vested and were granted under
the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The options have an exercise price of $1.73 per share. Compensation expense
related to this modification was $78,000 and was fully expensed on the modification date.
In October 2021, the Compensation Committee
of the Company’s Board of Directors approved grants of options to purchase an aggregate of 15,250 shares of Class B Stock to three
of its non-executive employees based in Lithuania and one consultant, vesting over a four-year period. Unrecognized compensation expense
related to the 15,250 options grants was an aggregate of $163,000 based on the estimated fair value of the options on the grant date.
The unrecognized compensation expense is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
At October 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation
expense related to unvested stock options was an aggregate of $841,000.
Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)
On September 7, 2021, the Company granted
a total of 291,320 DSUs to 64 of its employees and consultants. Each DSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s
Class B common stock.
Vesting of 30% (87,396) of the DSUs is based on the grantee remaining
in service to the Company and will take place as to 25% on such DSUs on September 7, 2022, as to an additional 33% of such DSUs on September
7, 2023, and as to the remaining DSUs on September 7, 2024.
Vesting of 70% (203,924) of the DSUs
is subject to continued service as well as a market condition. Those DSUs will only vest if the grantee remains in service to the Company
and only if the aggregate market capitalization of the Company’s equity securities has reached or exceeded $451 million for five
consecutive trading days between the grant date and the vest date. Subject to satisfaction of both of those conditions, 25% of such DSUs
will vest on September 7, 2022, up to 58% (the 25% eligible to vest in 2022 and an additional 33%) of such DSUs will vest on September
7, 2023, and up to 100% will vest on September 7, 2024. In the event the market capitalization condition has not been met prior to a vesting
date, but is met by a subsequent vesting date, all DSUs eligible for vesting prior to that date shall vest. In the event that the market
capitalization condition has not been met by September 7, 2024, these 70% of the DSUs shall expire.
These 70% DSUs or 203,924 DSUs with market condition have been valued
by an outside valuation firm using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation methodology estimates the future equity
value of Zedge on a risk-neutral basis. The outside valuation firm’s mean value indication for a single DSU was $7.19 and their
mean standard of error was less than 1%. Total grant date fair value for these 70% DSUs with both time and market condition was approximately
$1.5 million. The unrecognized compensation expense is being recognized on a graded vesting method over the vesting period.
Total grant date fair value for the
remaining 30% DSUs without market-based condition was approximately $1.3 million. The unrecognized compensation expense is being recognized
on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
At October 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation
expense related to unvested DSUs was an aggregate of $2.6 million.
In the three months ended October 31,
2021 and 2020, the Company purchased 4,450 shares and 5,625 shares of Class B Stock from various employees for $72,000 and $8,000, respectively,
to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of DSUs.
Restricted Stock Awards
In October 2020, the Compensation Committee approved
a grant of 10,619 restricted shares of Class B Common Stock to each of Mr. Elliot Gibber and Mr. Howard Jonas which were fully vested
on grant. These shares had an aggregate grant date fair value of $30,000 and have been fully amortized accordingly.
At October 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation
expense related to unvested restricted stock awards was an aggregate of $250,000.
In the three months ended October 31, 2021 and
2020, the Company purchased 11,665 shares and 12,005 shares respectively of Class B Stock from certain employees for $160,000 and $18,000
respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock.
Note 7—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 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:

Note 8—Contingencies
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 9—Revolving Credit Facility
As of September 27, 2016, the Company entered
into a loan and security agreement with Western Alliance Bank for a revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 million for an initial two-year
term which was extended twice for another two two-year term expiring September 26, 2022. At the Company’s request in September 2020,
advances under this facility have been reduced to the lesser of $2.0 million or 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable,
subject to certain concentration limits. The revolving credit facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s
assets. Effective with the September 2020 extension, the outstanding principal amount bears 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 is payable monthly and all outstanding principal
and any accrued and unpaid interest is due on the maturity date of September 26, 2022. The Company is required to pay an annual facility
fee of $10,000 to Western Alliance Bank. The Company is 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 include a prohibition on the Company
paying any dividend on its capital stock. The Company may terminate this agreement at any time without penalty or premium provided that
it pays down any outstanding principal, accrued interest and bank expenses. At October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, there were no amounts
outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants.
As of November 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Foreign Exchange
Agreement with Western Alliance Bank 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 $6.5 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 Western Alliance Bank, in its reasonable discretion from time to time, which was
initially set at 10% of the nominal amount of the foreign exchange contracts in effect at the relevant time. In December 2016, the applicable
foreign exchange reserve percentage was changed so that the reduction of available borrowing for major currency forward contracts of less
than six months tenor is set at 10% of the nominal amount of the foreign exchange contracts, and for contracts over six months tenor,
12.5% of the nominal amount of the foreign exchange contracts. At October 31, 2021, there were approximately $3.2 million of outstanding
foreign exchange contracts with the majority being less than six months tenor under the credit facility, which reduced the available borrowing
under the revolving credit facility by $326,250.

There were no other material
changes in the Company’s operating and finance leases in the three months ended October 31, 2021, as compared to the disclosure in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021.
Note 12—Provision for Income taxes
The Company’s tax provision or benefit for
income taxes for interim periods has generally been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete
items, if any. Under certain circumstances where the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate, the
accounting guidance permits the use of the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date period.
The Company expects its overall effective tax rate for fiscal year
ending July 31, 2022 to be approximately 23.1%. During the three months ended October 31, 2021, the Company accounted for a discrete item
related to shares of restricted stock vested during the three months period ended October 31, 2021 with a vesting date fair market value
above the grant date fair market value which resulted in a net effective tax rate of 20.7%.
As of October 31, 2021, the Company had $477,000
of deferred tax assets for which it has not established a valuation allowance, related to the U.S. federal states and certain international
subsidiary. The Company completed its reassessment of the ability to realize these assets and concluded that a valuation allowance was
not required.
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 and Lithuania.
Note 13—Loans Payable
Effective August 1, 2020, the Company obtained
a loan of $181,462 to pay for its insurance coverages, repayable in nine equal installments of $20,491 starting from September 1, 2020
which represented a 3.89% annual percentage interest rate.
The Company obtained a loan under the Payroll
Protection Program (PPP) of the CARES Act in the amount of $218,000 loan from Western Alliance Bank, a loan servicer and the Company’s
lender (see Note 9), on April 22, 2020. The Company used these proceeds in full for payroll purposes for U.S. employees during the covered
period provided under the PPP (which was extended to 24 weeks). Any portion of the loan that is not forgiven would have been due two years
after inception of the loan.
On November 25, 2020, the Company submitted the PPP Loan Forgiveness
Application Form 3508EZ and on May 21, 2021, the Company was notified that such application for the loan forgiveness has been approved
and the loan, including accrued interest, has been deemed satisfied in full by the Small Business Administration to Western Alliance Bank.
The Company therefore recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of $218,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2021.
Note 14—Sales of Class B Common Stock
The Company filed with the SEC a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3”) on November 30, 2020 which became effective on December 4, 2020 to facilitate capital

“at-the-market” offering of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock up to $5 million. The Company filed a Prospectus
Supplement (supplementing the Prospectus included in the Form S-3) on December 9, 2020 and contemporaneously entered into an At The Market
Offering Agreement with the Sales Agents (the “ATM Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company sold 761,906 shares at
an average price of $6.5625 per share for total proceeds of $5 million as of January 28, 2021. In connection with this offering, the Company

Class B common stock, from time to time in “at the market offerings” pursuant to an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with

offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Note 15—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 is estimated to be approximately $6.9 million of which $4.8 million was
paid on August 2, 2021 with the remaining $2.1 million to be paid out in two equal installments on the six-month and twelve-month anniversary
of the Closing. The final determination of the purchase price will be made in the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2022 and is currently
not expected to be materially different than what has been recorded at October 31, 2021.
The assets purchased include emojipedia.org, a set
of smaller websites, a bank of emoji related URLs and other assets related to the seller’s business, including World Emoji Day,
the annual World Emoji Awards, and Emojitracker. The transaction 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 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of fifteen years.
The results
of operations for this acquisition are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since the date of the acquisition.
Actual and pro forma revenue and results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because they do not have a material
impact on the consolidated results of operations.
