Anterix Inc. (formerly known as pdvWireless, Inc., the “Company”) is a wireless communications company focused on empowering the modernization of critical infrastructure and enterprise ~~businesses~~business communications by enabling ~~private~~ broadband connectivity. The Company’s foundational spectrum provides the ability to ~~increase resiliency and~~ transform its ~~customers~~customers’ operations to meet new business complexities while achieving higher levels of ~~reliability,~~ performance and ~~security.~~safety. The Company is the largest holder of licensed spectrum in the 900 MHz band (896-901/935-940 MHz) with nationwide coverage throughout the contiguous United States, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. On average, the Company holds approximately 60% of the channels in the 900 MHz band in the top 20 metropolitan market areas in the United States. The Company is currently pursuing a regulatory proceeding at the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), that seeks to modernize and realign the 900 MHz band ~~to increase its usability and capacity~~ by allowing it to be utilized for the deployment of broadband networks, technologies and solutions. At the same time, the Company is pursuing business opportunities with its targeted critical infrastructure and enterprise customers to build awareness and demand for its spectrum assets, assuming it achieves a favorable result with its FCC initiatives.

The Company’s goal is to become the leading provider of broadband spectrum assets to critical infrastructure and enterprise customers. Assuming its FCC initiatives are successful, the Company’s spectrum assets have the potential to enable its customers to deploy broadband networks, technologies and solutions that are private, secure, reliable and cost-effective and at the same time allow them to achieve their modernization objectives and regulatory obligations.

The Company was originally incorporated in California in 1997 and reincorporated in Delaware in 2014. In November 2015, the Company changed its name from Pacific DataVision, Inc. to pdvWireless, Inc. On August 6, 2019, the Company changed its name from pdvWireless, Inc. to Anterix Inc. The Company maintains offices in Woodland Park, New Jersey and McLean, Virginia.

Historically, the Company generated revenue principally from its pdvConnect and TeamConnect businesses. pdvConnect is a mobile communication and workforce management ~~solution that enables businesses to locate and communicate with their field workers and improve the documentation of work events and job status.~~solution. The Company historically marketed pdvConnect primarily through two Tier 1 carriers in the United States. In Fiscal 2016, it began offering a commercial push-to-talk (“PTT”) service, which was marketed as TeamConnect, in seven major metropolitan areas throughout the United States, including Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, New York and Philadelphia. ~~The Company developed TeamConnect to address the needs of enterprises that value a tailored PTT solution addressing the management of their mobile workforce.~~ It primarily offered the TeamConnect service to customers indirectly through third-party sales representatives who were primarily selected from Motorola’s nationwide dealer network.

In June 2018, the Company announced its plan to restructure its business to align and focus its business priorities on its spectrum initiatives aimed at modernizing and realigning the 900 MHz band to increase its usability and capacity, including for the future deployment of broadband and other advanced technologies and services. In December 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the transfer of the Company’s TeamConnect business and support for its pdvConnect business. ~~Specifically,~~

In July 2019, the Company ~~entered into: (i)~~completed a ~~Customer Acquisition and Resale Agreement with A BEEP LLC, (“A BEEP”), on January 2, 2019 (ii)~~registered follow-on offering in which it sold 2,222,223 shares of its common stock at a Customer Acquisition, Resale and Licensing Agreement with Goosetown Enterprises, Inc, (“Goosetown”) on January 2, 2019, and (iii) a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with the principals of Goosetown on December 31, 2018. On March 31, 2019, the agreements were amended to formally set the transition date for the businesses as April 1, 2019 as well as to clarify the responsibilities between the parties.

Under the terms of the MOU, the Company agreed to assign the intellectual property rights to its TeamConnect and pdvConnect applications to TeamConnect LLC (the “ LLC ”), a new entity formed by the principals of Goosetown, in exchange for a 19.5% ownership interest in the LLC. The Goosetown principals agreed to fund the future operations of the LLC, subject to certain limitations. The LLC assumed the software support and maintenance obligations under the Goosetown and A BEEP Agreements. The LLC also assumed customer care services relatedpurchase price to the ~~pdvConnect application. The Company provided transition services to the LLC through April 1, 2019 to facilitate an orderly transition~~public of ~~the customer care services. As of June 30, 2019, the agreed upon intellectual property rights had not transferred to the LLC. Therefore, the Company did not record an investment~~$45.00 per share. Net proceeds were approximately $94.2 million after deducting $5.5 million in ~~the LLC as of such date.~~ underwriting discounts and commissions, and $0.3 million in offering expenses.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, as filed on May 20, 2019 with the SEC. In the Company’s opinion all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. The Company believes that the disclosures made in the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. The Company is also required to make certain estimates with regard to the valuation of awards and forfeiture rates for its share-based award programs. New estimates in the period relate to determining the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate in recognizing right of use assets and operating lease liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the applicable period. Accordingly, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including PDV Spectrum Holding Company, LLC formed in April 2014. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the corresponding amounts in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported ~~results of operations, cash flows, assets, liabilities~~net loss or ~~equity for the periods presented.~~net loss per common share basic and diluted.

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates the quoted market value and include amounts held in money market funds.

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the applicable lease term. The carrying amount at the balance sheet date of long-lived assets under construction in process includes assets purchased, constructed or being developed internally that are not yet in service. Depreciation commences when the assets are placed in service. Depreciation rates for assets are updated periodically to account for changes, if any, in the estimated useful lives of the assets, lease terms, management’s strategic objectives, estimated residual values or obsolescence. Changes in estimates will result in adjustments to depreciation expense prospectively.

An asset retirement obligation is evaluated and recorded as appropriate on assets for which the Company has a legal obligation to retire. The Company records a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset retirement cost at the time the underlying asset is acquired and put into service. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes, if any, in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.

The Company enters into long-term leasing arrangements primarily for tower site locations. The Company constructs assets at these locations and, in accordance with the terms of many of these agreements, the Company is obligated to restore the premises to their original condition at the conclusion of the agreements, generally at the demand of the other party to these agreements. The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and capitalizes that cost as part of the cost basis of the related asset, depreciating it over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the obligation, any difference between the cost to retire the asset and the recorded liability is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company revised its asset retirement obligations accrual to $0.8 million based on estimated future cash flows.

Changes in the liability for the asset retirement obligations for December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 are summarized below (in thousands):

Intangible assets are wireless licenses that will be used to provide the Company with the exclusive right to utilize designated radio frequency spectrum to provide wireless communication services. While licenses are issued for only a fixed time, generally

ten years, such licenses are subject to renewal by the FCC. License renewals have occurred routinely and at nominal cost in the past. There are currently no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of the Company’s wireless licenses. As a result, the Company has determined that the wireless licenses should be treated as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. The Company will evaluate the useful life determination for its wireless licenses each year to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support their treatment as an indefinite useful life asset.

The licenses are tested for impairment annually on an aggregate basis, as the Company will be utilizing the wireless licenses on an integrated basis as a part of developing broadband. In Fiscal 2019, the Company performed a step one quantitative impairment test to determine if the fair value is greater than carrying value. Estimated fair value is determined using a market-based approach. There are no triggering events indicating impairment in the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Costs to acquire a patent on certain aspects of the Company’s technology have been capitalized. These amounts are amortized, subject to periodic evaluation for impairment, over statutory lives following award of the patent. Gross patent costs are approximately $572,000 at March 31, 2019 and the associated accumulated amortization amounted to approximately $388,000. As of December 31, 2019, the Company completed the transfer of the intellectual property rights with a net book value of $174,000 in exchange for a 19.5% ownership interest to TeamConnect LLC (“LLC”). Amortization expense was approximately $10,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including right of use assets, other than intangible assets with indefinite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Asset groups are determined at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. When the carrying amount of the asset groups are not recoverable and exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of the asset group’s carrying value over the estimated fair value.

The Company’s 19.5% investment in LLC for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary and does not influence or control the activities that most significantly impact the LLC’s economic performance, are not consolidated and are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the LLC’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. The Company's share of the earnings of the LLC is reported as income (loss) on equity method investment in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method investment is reported as equity method investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

If the Company’s carrying value in an equity method is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company guarantees obligations of the LLC or commits additional funding. When the LLC subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

Leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of corporate office space and tower space. Substantially all of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company is obligated under certain lease agreements for office space with lease terms expiring on various dates from October 14, 2025 through June 30, 2027, which includes a ten-year lease extension for its corporate headquarters. The Company entered into multiple lease agreements for tower space related to its spectrum holdings.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company recognized right of use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet for its operating lease agreements. The Company elected the package of practical expedients for its long-term operating leases, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard the prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. See Note 89 – Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and required disclosures.

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax ~~bases~~basis of assets and liabilities as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities offrom a change in income tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when it is estimated that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Revenues are recognized when a contract with a customer exists and control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the ~~Company’s~~ customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration itthe Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services and the identified performance obligation has been satisfied.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”). A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and is recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied, which typically occurs when the services are rendered. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. It generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers under contracts involving only the relevant performance obligation. Judgment may be used to determine the standalone selling prices for items that are not sold separately, including services provided at no additional charge. Most of ~~our~~the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as services are provided.

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has determined that certain sales commissions meet the requirements to be capitalized and have been recorded as an asset upon the Company’s adoption of ASC 606. As a result of the customers being assigned to A BEEP and Goosetown (see Note 3 below), the Company’s capitalized sales commissions were impaired on April 1, 2019.

The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with US GAAP, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on the estimated fair value of awards granted to consultants, employees and directors. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense in the Company’s statements of operations over the requisite service periods. In the event the participant’s employment by or engagement with (as a director or otherwise) the Company terminates before exercise of the options granted, the stock options granted to the participant shall immediately expire and all rights to purchase shares thereunder shall immediately cease and expire and be of no further force or effect, other than applicable exercise rights for vested shares that may extend past the termination date as provided for in the participant’s applicable option award agreement. Additionally, the Compensation Committee adopted an Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”) in February 2015, which was amended in February 2019, and the Company subsequently entered into Severance Plan Participation Agreements with its executive officers and certain key employees. In addition to providing participants with severance payments, the Severance Plan provides for accelerated vesting and extends the exercise period for outstanding equity awards if the Company terminates a participant’s service for reasons other than cause, death or disability or the participant terminates his or her service for good reason, whether before or after a change of control (each of such terms as defined in the Severance Plan).

To calculate option-based compensation, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company’s determination of fair value of option-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables.

The fair value of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units are measured based upon the quoted closing market price for the stock on the date of grant. The compensation cost for the restricted stock and restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The compensation cost for the performance units is recognized when the performance criteria are expected to be complete.

No tax benefits have been attributed to the share-based compensation expense because the Company maintains a full valuation allowance for all net deferred tax assets.

The Company recognizes the effect of tax positions only when they are more likely than not to be sustained. Management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations for periods prior to 2016. ~~We recognize~~The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, preferred stock, stock options, restricted stock and warrants are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. Because the Company has reported a net loss for the three months and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods.

Common stock equivalents resulting from potentially dilutive securities approximated ~~1,395,000~~1,396,000 and ~~1,421,000~~1,386,000 at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 and ~~March 31, 2019,~~2018, respectively, and have not been included in the dilutive weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, as their effects are anti-dilutive.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses and has subsequently modified several areas of the standard in order to provide additional clarity and improvements. The new standard requires entities to use a Current Expected Credit Loss impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this model, an entity would recognize an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of all contractual cash flows that the entity does not expect to collect from financial assets measured at amortized cost within the scope of the standard. The entity's estimate would consider relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, which will result in recognition of lifetime expected credit losses. As a smaller reporting company, the standard will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 2023, including interim reporting periods within that fiscal year, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that ASC 326 and subsequent modifications may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. Originally, entities were required to adopt ASU 2016-02 using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements and the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 in July 2018, which provide clarifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02 (collectively, the “new lease standard”). ASU 2018-11 also provides the optional transition method which allows companies to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period presented and continue to apply the provisions of the previous lease standard in its annual disclosures for the comparative periods. The new lease standard requires lessees to present a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged compared to the current accounting guidance. Additional footnote disclosures related to leases will also be required.

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease standard using the optional transition method. The comparative financial information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the previous lease standard in effect during those periods. In addition, the new lease standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the package of practical expedients. As such, the Company will not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain a

lease; will not need to reassess the lease classifications or reassess the initial direct costs associated with expired or existing leases. The Company did not elect the use of hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to the Company.

The new lease standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, including not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases

of those assets in transition. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for certain classes of assets (office buildings).

On April 1, 2019, the Company recognized ROU assets of $7.1 million and lease liabilities of approximately $9.4 million, derecognized deferred rent liabilities of approximately $2.3 million and did not record an adjustment to accumulated ~~deficit.~~deficit. As of March 31, 2019, deferred rent liabilities were reported under accounts payable and accrued expenses – other amounting to $0.2 million and non-current other liabilities amounting to $2.1 million. When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its estimated incremental borrowing rate at April 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 13%. The Company’s adoption of the new lease standard did not impact its consolidated statements of operations and its statements of cash flows. No cumulative effect adjustment was recognized as the amount was not material. See Note 89 – Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and required disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 addresses several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions, including share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2020 beginning April 1, 2019. As a result of adopting the ASU on April 1, 2019, the Company reduced its accumulated deficit by $188,000. See Note 1011 – Stock Acquisition Rights, Stock Options and Warrants for further discussion, including the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and required disclosures.

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method and recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained deficit. The Company applied the new revenue standard to new and existing contracts that were not complete as of the date of initial application. As a result of applying this standard using the modified retrospective method, the Company has presented financial results and applied its accounting policies for the period beginning April 1, 2018 under ASC 606, while prior period results and accounting policies have not been adjusted and are reflected under legacy GAAP pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification 605.

In December 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the transfer of its TeamConnect business and support for its pdvConnect ~~businesses~~business to help reduce operating costs and to allow the management team and the Company to focus on its FCC initiatives and future broadband opportunities. Specifically, the Company entered into: (i) a Customer Acquisition and Resale Agreement with A BEEP LLC (“A BEEP”) on January 2, 2019, (ii) a Customer Acquisition, Resale and Licensing Agreement with Goosetown Enterprises, Inc. (“Goosetown”) on January 2, 2019 and (iii) a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with the principals of Goosetown on December 31, 2018. Under the A BEEP and Goosetown Agreements, the Company agreed to: (i) transfer its TeamConnect customers located in the Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Phoenix metropolitan markets to A BEEP, (ii) transfer its TeamConnect customers located in the Baltimore/Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York metropolitan markets to Goosetown, (iii) provide A BEEP and Goosetown with access to the TeamConnect Metro and Campus Systems (the, “MotoTRBO Systems ”) and (iv) grant A BEEP and Goosetown the right to resell access to the MotoTRBO Systems pursuant to separate Mobile Virtual Network Operation arrangements for a two-year period. The Company also granted Goosetown a license to sell the business applications the Company developed for its TeamConnect service. On March 31, 2019, the agreements were amended to formally set the transition date for the businesses as April 1, 2019 ~~as well as~~and to clarify the responsibilities between the parties.

Under these agreements, A BEEP and Goosetown agreed to provide customer care, billing and collection services for their respective acquired customers. The Company continued to provide these services through April 1, 2019 to help facilitate the transitioning of the acquired customers. Additionally, the Company is required to maintain and pay all site lease, backhaul and utility costs required to operate the MotoTRBO Systems for a two-year period. As part of the Company’s efforts to clear the 900 MHz spectrum for broadband use, A BEEP and Goosetown are required to migrate the acquired customers off the

MotoTRBO Systems over the two-year period. In consideration for the customers and rights the Company transferred, A BEEP and Goosetown are required to pay a certain portion of the recurring revenues they receive from the acquired customers ranging from 100% to 20% during the terms of the agreements. Additionally, A BEEP is required to pay the Company a portion of recurring revenue from customers who utilize A BEEP’s push-to-talk ~~Diga-Talk~~Diga-talk Plus application service ranging from 35% to 15% for a period of two years. Goosetown is required to pay the Company 20% of recurring revenues from the TeamConnect applications it licensed for a period of two years.

Service Revenue. The Company has historically derived its service revenue from a fixed monthly recurring unit price per user, with 30-day payment terms, for ~~its~~the pdvConnect, TeamConnect and Diga-talk service offerings.

pdvConnect is ~~the Company’s~~a proprietary cloud-based mobile resource management solution which has historically been sold as a separate software-as-a-service offering for dispatch-centric business customers who utilize Tier 1 cellular networks, and to a lesser extent, who utilize land mobile radio networks not operated by the Company. pdvConnect iswas historically sold directly by the

Company or through two Tier 1 domestic carriers. The service is contracted and billed on a ~~month to month~~month-to-month basis, and the Company satisfies its performance obligation over time as the services are delivered.

TeamConnect combines pdvConnect with ~~the Company’s~~ push-to-talk (“PTT”) mobile communication services involving digital network architecture and mobile devices. TeamConnect gives customers the ability to instantly set up PTT communications and delivers real-time information from mobile workers to dispatch operators. It also allows customers to deliver voice messages to any computer (via the internet), any email address or to any phone in the United States as well as to communicate in real time with TeamConnect enabled smartphones on any cellular carrier network. The contract period for the TeamConnect service varies from a ~~month to month~~month-to-month basis to 24 months. The customer is billed at the beginning of each month of the contract term. The Company recognizes revenue as it satisfies its performance obligation over time as the services are delivered. On April 1, 2019, these customers were transitioned to A BEEP and Goosetown. A BEEP and Goosetown agreed to pay the Company a certain portion of the recurring revenues during the term of the agreements. While the customer remains on the Company’s MotoTRBO Systems, the portion of recurring revenues paid by A BEEP and Goosetown is recorded as revenue.

Diga-talk is a mobile communications offering that was being resold by the Company for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018. ~~It provided a nationwide two-way digital communication service.~~ The service was contracted and billed on a ~~month to month~~month-to-month basis. The determination was made that the Company was the principal in this reseller arrangement since the customer viewed the Company as fulfilling the performance obligations and therefore, recorded revenue on a gross basis over time upon delivery of the services. On April 1, 2019, these customers were transferred to A BEEP and the Company no longer has revenue for this offering.

Spectrum Revenue. In September 2014, Motorola paid the Company an upfront, fully-paid fee of $7.5 million in order to use a portion of the Company’s wireless spectrum licenses. The payment of the fee is accounted for as deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and is recognized ratably as the service is provided over the contractual term of approximately ten years. The revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 and ~~June 30,~~ 2018 ~~was~~were approximately ~~$182,000.~~$183,000 and $547,000, respectively.

Other Revenue. The Company historically derived other revenue primarily from either the sale of radios and accessories for TeamConnect and Diga-talk as well as the rental of radios for TeamConnect based on 30-day payment terms. The Company recognized radio and accessory revenue when a customer takes possession of the device. As of April 1, 2019 and the transition of customers to A BEEP and Goosetown, the Company no longer sells radios and accessories nor rents radios for TeamConnect.

Contract Assets. Contract assets ~~include~~includes the portion of the Company’s future service invoices which has been allocated to the discounted price of the radios and amortized as a reduction against service revenue over the contract period.

The Company also recognized a contract asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. These costs ~~included~~include commissions for sales people and commissions paid to third-party dealers. These costs ~~were~~are amortized ratably using the portfolio approach over the estimated customer contract period. The Company ~~reviewed~~reviews the contract asset on a periodic basis to determine if an impairment exists. If it ~~was~~is determined that there was an impairment, the contract asset will be expensed. Under the previous accounting standard, the Company expensed commissions as incurred.

As a result of the customers being transferred to A BEEP and Goosetown, all contract and contract acquisition costs were impaired. The Company increased direct cost of revenue amounting to ~~$178,000~~$178,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, and sales and support expense amounting to $258,000 for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019.

The following table presents the activity for the Company’s contract assets (in thousands):

Contract liabilities. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advance consideration received from customers for spectrum services, for which revenue is recognized over time, as the services are performed. These contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. The related liability as of March 31, 2019 of $4.2 million has been reduced by revenue recognized in the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 of ~~$0.2~~$0.6 million leaving a remaining liability of ~~$4.0~~$3.6 million as of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019.

Property and equipment consists of the following at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

A lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 and it primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee.

Substantially all of the leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of corporate office space and tower space. The Company is obligated under certain lease agreements for office space with lease terms expiring on various dates from October 14, 2025 through June 30, 2027, which includes a ten-year lease extension for its corporate headquarters. The Company entered into multiple lease agreements for tower space related to its TeamConnect business. The lease expiration dates range from April 16, 2020 to June 30, 2026.

Substantially all of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases, and as such, were previously not recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

On April 1, 2019, the Company recognized ROU assets of $7.1 million and lease liabilities of approximately $9.4 million, and derecognized deferred rent liabilities of approximately $2.3 million. As of March 31, 2019, deferred rent liabilities were reported under accounts payable and accrued expenses – other amounting to $0.2 million and non-current other liabilities amounting to $2.1 million. The Company elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term office leases, leases with initial terms of twelve months or less (deemed immaterial) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a $11,000 non-cash charge impairment for an ROU asset to reduce the carrying value to zero. The lease relating to the ROU asset impaired will expire on June 2020.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its estimated incremental borrowing rate at April 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 13%. As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019, the Company’s leases had a remaining weighted average term of ~~5.53~~5.19 years.

Rent expense amounted to approximately $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Total rent expense amounted to approximately $0.6 million ~~for the three months June 30, 2019, of which approximately $0.4 million, was classified as cost of revenue~~ and ~~the remainder of approximately $0.2 million was classified in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total rent expense amounted to approximately $0.7~~$2.0 million for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018 ~~of which approximately $0.5 million was classified as cost of revenue and the remainder of approximately $0.2 million was classified in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.~~respectively.

On December 22, 2017, new federal tax provisions under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) were signed into law. The TCJA includes numerous changes to existing corporate income tax laws. These changes include, among others, a permanent reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from the highest marginal rate of 35% to a fixed rate of 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018, and a provision that federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) incurred in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely. ~~The~~As a result, the Company may now ~~can~~ consider indefinite lived assets and the associated deferred tax liability as a source of future taxable income when assessing the potential to realize future tax deductions from indefinite carryforwards of NOLs and interest expense.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had federal and state NOL carryforwards of approximately $125.7 million and $51.3 million, respectively, expiring in various amounts from 2019 through 2037, to offset future taxable income. Per the TCJA, federal and TCJA-adhering state NOLs of approximately $34.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively, generated in fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 can be carried forward indefinitely and are not subject to the 80% of taxable income NOL deduction limitation. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had federal and state NOL carryforwards of approximately $164.0 million and $74.0 million, respectively, expiring in various amounts from 2020 through 2037, to offset future taxable income. Federal and state NOLs of approximately $72.6 million and $10.3 million, respectively, can be carried forward indefinitely but a portion of federal and state NOLs of approximately ~~$91.4~~$38.5 million ~~at March 31, 2017, expiring in varying amounts from 2020 through 2037.~~and $6.0 million, respectively, is limited to 80% of future taxable income when used.

The Company used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the ~~three~~three- and nine-month ended December 31, 2019. The Company determined that applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate would not provide a reasonable estimate as small changes in estimated “ordinary” loss would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate. Accordingly, for the nine months ending ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a total ~~state income~~deferred tax expense of ~~$292,000.~~$594,000 due to the inability to use some portion of federal and state NOL carryforwards against the deferred tax liability created by the amortization of indefinite-lived intangibles.

On September 15, 2014, Motorola invested $10.0 million to purchase 500,000 Class B Units of the Company’s subsidiary, PDV Spectrum Holding Company, LLC (at a price equal to $20.00 per unit). The Company owns 100% of the Class A Units in this subsidiary. Motorola has the right at any time to convert its 500,000 Class B Units into 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also has the right to force Motorola’s conversion of these Class B Units into shares of its common stock at its election. Motorola is not entitled to any assets, profits or distributions from the operations of the subsidiary.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Anterix Inc. (“Anterix,” the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on May 20, ~~2019.~~2019 (the “Annual Report”). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including, but not limited to, those identified or referenced in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in Part II of this Form ~~10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.~~10-Q. As a result, investors are urged not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except to the limited extent required by applicable law, ~~the Company does~~we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Form 10-Q.

We are a wireless communications company focused on empowering the modernization of critical infrastructure and enterprise businesses communications by enabling ~~private~~ broadband connectivity. Our foundational spectrum provides the ability to ~~increase resiliency and~~ transform our customers operations to meet new business complexities while achieving higher levels of ~~reliability,~~ performance and ~~security.~~safety. We are the largest holder of licensed spectrum in the 900 MHz band (896-901/935-940 MHz) with nationwide coverage throughout the contiguous United States, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. On average, we hold approximately 60% of channels in the 900 MHz band in the top 20 metropolitan market areas in the United States. We are currently pursuing a regulatory proceeding at the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) that seeks to modernize and realign the 900 MHz band ~~to increase its usability and capacity~~ by allowing it to be utilized for the deployment of ~~private~~ broadband networks, technologies and solutions. At the same time, we are pursuing business opportunities with its targeted critical infrastructure and enterprise customers to build awareness and demand for our spectrum assets, assuming we achieve favorable results with our FCC initiatives.

Our goal is to become the leading provider of broadband spectrum assets to critical infrastructure and enterprise customers. Assuming our FCC initiatives are successful, our spectrum assets will enable our customers to deploy broadband networks, technologies and solutions that are private, secure, reliable and cost-effective and at the same time allow them to achieve their modernization objectives and regulatory obligations.

Our spectrum is our most valuable asset. While our current licensed spectrum can support narrowband and wideband wireless services, the most significant business opportunities we have identified require contiguous spectrum that allows for greater bandwidth than allowed by the current configuration of our spectrum. As a result, our first priority is to continue to pursue our initiatives at the FCC seeking to modernize and realign a portion of the 900 MHz band to increase its usability and capacity by allowing it to accommodate the deployment of broadband networks, technologies and solutions.

In November 2014, we and the Enterprise Wireless Alliance (“EWA”) submitted a Joint Petition for Rulemaking (“Joint Petition”) to the FCC to propose a realignment of a portion of the 900 MHz band from narrowband to broadband. In response to the Joint Petition, the FCC issued a public notice requesting comments from interested parties and asked a number of questions about the proposal. A number of parties, including several incumbent licensees, filed comments with the FCC expressing their views, including both support and opposition. In May 2015, we and the EWA filed proposed rules with the FCC related to the Joint Petition. Comments on the proposed rules were filed in June 2015 and reply comments in July 2015.

In August 2017, the FCC issued a Notice of Inquiry (“NOI”) announcing that it had commenced a proceeding to examine whether it would be in the public interest to change the existing rules governing the 900 MHz band to increase access to spectrum, improve spectrum efficiency and expand flexibility for a variety of potential uses and applications, including broadband and other advanced technologies and services. The FCC requested interested parties, including us, to comment on a number of questions related to three potential options for the 900 MHz band: (i) retaining the current configuration of the 900 MHz band, but increasing operational flexibility, (ii) reconfiguring a portion or all of the 900 MHz band to support broadband and other advanced technologies and services, or (iii) retaining the current 900 MHz band licensing and eligibility rules. Because the FCC requested information on multiple options for the 900 MHz band, the NOI effectively superseded the Joint Petition and other pending proposals that involved the 900 MHz band. We and EWA filed a joint response to the FCC’s NOI in October 2017 and reply comments in November 2017.

In April 2018, to address the need for grid modernization in the utility industry, we met with the FCC, together with representatives of Ameren Services Company, an affiliate of Ameren Corporation, a holding company for electric and gas utilities located in the Midwestern U.S., to support Ameren’s request for experimental authority from the FCC to test broadband operations utilizing our 900 MHz spectrum in the requested geographic areas. The FCC granted Ameren’s request for experimental authority, and we are currently

~~supporting Ameren’s broadband trialing activities utilizing a 1.4 X 1.4 MHz 900 MHz broadband spectrum allocation in geographic areas in several Ameren markets located in Illinois and Missouri.~~

In February 2019, we announced that we and a diverse group of utility companies, technology innovators and industry leaders had formed the Utility Broadband Alliance (“UBBA”). UBBA aims to assist its members in planning and deploying secure, reliable and resilient private broadband networks to support the transforming electrical grid. The founding members of UBBA represent utility industry organizations positioned at the forefront of advancing grid modernization, including Ameren, Burns & McDonnell, Cisco Systems, Inc., Encore Networks, Inc., Ericsson, Inc., Federated Wireless, Inc., General Electric, Motorola Solutions, Inc., Multi-Tech

Systems, Inc., National Grid, Sierra Wireless, Inc., and Southern Linc. As of May 1, 2019, including us, UBBA had 16 members. We intend to continue to support UBBA, and help it continue to increase its membership and its influence with utilities.

On March 14, 2019, the FCC unanimously adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRM”) in WT Docket No. 17-200 (the “900 MHz Proceeding”). Comments on the NPRM were filed on May 31, 2019 and reply comments were filed on July 2, 2019.

The NPRM endorsed our objective of creating a broadband opportunity in the 900 MHz band for critical infrastructure and other enterprise users. The NPRM generally proposes our recommended band plan concept and technical rules. Importantly, the proposed technical rules include our recommended equipment specifications that would enable the use of available, globally standardized broadband LTE networks, technologies and solutions.

In the NPRM, the FCC has proposed three criteria for an applicant to secure a broadband license in a particular county within the United States: (i) the applicant must hold all 20 blocks of geographic Specialized Mobile Radio (“SMR”) licenses in the county; (ii) the applicant must reach agreement to relocate all incumbents in the broadband segment in a 1:1 voluntary channel exchange or demonstrate that the incumbents will be protected from interference; and (iii) the applicant must agree to return to the FCC all rights to geographic and site-based spectrum in the county in exchange for the broadband license.

The FCC requested comments from incumbents and other interested parties on a number of important topics in the NPRM that will have a material impact on our ability to qualify for, and the related time and costs of obtaining, broadband licenses. As noted above, the broadband applicant must hold all 20 blocks of geographic SMR licenses in the county. In certain areas, some of the SMR spectrum is being held in inventory by the FCC. In the NPRM, the FCC requested comments on how a broadband applicant could acquire the FCC’s inventory of geographic SMR allocated spectrum. Specifically, in considering whether to make its inventory of geographic SMR spectrum available to the broadband applicant, the FCC has asked whether it should do so only if the applicant meets a threshold number of its own geographic SMR licenses. The FCC also questions how to mitigate a windfall that might thereby be attributed to the broadband applicant by the FCC’s action. We have recommended that broadband applicants be able to include geographic SMR spectrum held in inventory by the FCC for purposes of eligibility, provided that they hold all licensed geographic SMR spectrum. We addressed the windfall question by identifying a number of recent instances when the FCC has authorized rule changes that improved certain licensees’ spectrum positions based on an FCC finding that doing so addressed a significant public interest consideration.

In the NPRM, the FCC has requested comments on different approaches to address the holdout situation. One approach is based on a “success threshold” whereby once the broadband applicant has reached voluntary agreements with incumbents holding a prescribed percentage of channels in the broadband segment, remaining incumbents would become subject to mandatory relocations. In this and other approaches set forth in the NPRM, the broadband applicant would be responsible for providing comparable facilities and paying the reasonable costs of relocation. The NPRM proposes to exempt from mandatory relocation “complex systems,” with 65 or more integrated sites. There are only a small number of complex systems in the country in the broadband segment proposed by the FCC, and all of them are operated by utilities or other critical infrastructure entities. We have endorsed the proposed “success threshold” as the most efficient way to address holdouts and have reaffirmed our commitment that any system that is mandatorily retuned is entitled to comparable facilities and cost reimbursement. We also have supported the proposal that complex systems, as defined in the NPRM, be exempt from mandatory relocation.

The Association of American Railroads (“AAR”) holds a nationwide geographic license for ~~six~~nine non-contiguous Private Land Mobile Systems for Business Users (“B/ILT”) channels in the 900 MHz band, three of which are located within the FCC’s proposed broadband segment. The spectrum is used by freight railroads for Advanced Train Control System (“ATCS”) operations. We have recognized from the outset the importance of reaching agreement with the railroads about their relocation, and have worked with them throughout the FCC process. We and the AAR are in agreement about the optimal solution. However, this proposed solution will require an exemption from the relocation rules proposed by the FCC in the NPRM. We are continuing to coordinate our activities at the FCC with the AAR in support of securing the required exemption from the FCC and have urged the FCC to recognize AAR’s unique 900 MHz spectrum position with an appropriate solution that is consistent with the future wireless requirements of the railroad industry.

The NPRM also sought comment on several different auction approaches for counties where the broadband segment cannot be cleared of incumbents, including overlay auctions that, again, would trigger mandatory relocation rights for the auction winner with the obligation of providing comparable facilities and paying reasonable relocation costs. We believe the challenge of any proposed approach is achieving the appropriate balance between protecting incumbents’ rights to a minimally disruptive relocation process, and not preventing the deployment of broadband technologies on a timely and cost-effective basis. While auctions are one mechanism for addressing holdouts, they can involve lengthy delays that slow delivery of modernized capabilities. We have advised the FCC that a success threshold approach would allow broadband deployment on a more expedited schedule.

While the NPRM proposes a 6 MHz broadband segment, it also sought comment on a realignment of the entire 900 MHz band to create a 10 MHz broadband channel, citing suggestions from Southern California Edison and Duke Energy that this larger channel would better address their broadband needs.

A number of other parties filed Comments and Reply Comments as well. The number of utilities expressing an immediate need for private broadband networks has increased steadily through the course of the proceeding and the number of parties opposing realignment to create a 900 MHz band broadband option has diminished, but some incumbents continue to disagree with the NPRM proposal. Most are incumbents with systems that would be exempt from the possibility of mandatory retuning under the proposed complex system definition.

Now that the formal comment period has closed, the FCC’s next step could be the issuance of a final report and order (“Report and Order”), a request for additional information, a decision to close the proceeding without further action, or some other action. There is no assurance if or when the FCC will issue a Report and Order. Further, the terms of any Report and Order may differ materially from the terms of the NPRM. Please read “Risk Factors” for a discussion of material risks related to the NPRM and FCC process.

Complementing our regulatory initiatives, we are engaged in a number of business activities to build demand for and to begin commercializing our spectrum assets among our targeted critical infrastructure and enterprise customers. We are identifying customers who are likely to place value on deploying and operating private broadband networks, technologies and solutions utilizing our spectrum assets. As part of this exercise, we identified and evaluated potential use cases in the electric utilities industry, especially those companies that are investigating ways to fulfill their existing and future network and communications needs.

We are also evaluating the appropriate business model for commercializing our spectrum assets, assuming our FCC initiatives are successful. Based on our analysis, and discussions with potential customers, we intend to lease our spectrum to customers for 20 year or longer terms. We intend for our customers to bear the costs of deploying and operating their private broadband networks, technologies and solutions. We believe that our licensed spectrum assets in the 900 MHz band present an attractive potential cost-savings opportunity for our initial target customers when compared to other solutions that utilize medium band spectrum. ~~For example, compared with the 2.5 GHz band, the 900 MHz band enables an effective coverage area of approximately five~~

~~times the radius per tower compared to the 2.5 GHz band, allowing for fewer towers and a potential significant reduction of capital expenditures and monthly operating expense.~~ We will be responsible for the costs of securing the broadband licenses from the FCC, including the costs of acquiring sufficient spectrum to support broadband use and retuning incumbents to clear the spectrum. The timing and costs of our spectrum acquisition and retuning activities will be based on the terms of the Report and Order, if any, the FCC adopts in the 900 MHz Proceeding and these costs could be significant. We are also exploring opportunities to offer our customers value-added engineering and commercial services.

Our business strategy is to continue to simultaneously pursue our FCC and business initiatives. Our FCC initiatives are focused on obtaining a Report and Order from the FCC that supports broadband services in the 900 MHz band. Our business initiatives are focused on supporting both (i) our FCC initiatives, including the timely issuance of a favorable Report and Order, and (ii) our efforts to be ready to obtain broadband licenses from the ~~S-8~~ FCC and to commercialize our spectrum assets assuming the FCC issues a favorable Report and Order. Our efforts include:

In the NPRM, the FCC proposed to designate a 3 x 3 MHz segment of the 900 MHz band for broadband service. The FCC also proposed eligibility requirements that an applicant, like our company, must satisfy to obtain a broadband license in a particular county.

One of the eligibility requirements is to submit a transition plan that provides for the relocation or protection of all incumbents licensed for channels in the broadband segment in that particular county. We refer to “retuning” as the process of relocating incumbents in the counties where we plan to obtain broadband licenses. Retuning involves:

In order to relocate incumbents to alternative narrowband channels, we will need to make acquisitions of additional 900 MHz spectrum outside of the broadband segment in certain counties. We also will need to acquire spectrum assets in certain counties to satisfy the broadband license eligibility criteria proposed by the FCC in the NPRM.

Our FCC and business initiatives, including our retuning efforts, will continue to involve extensive management efforts and significant costs and expenses for the foreseeable future. We do not expect to have significant revenue and expect to incur significant operating losses until such time as we are able to obtain broadband licenses and commercialize our spectrum assets based on a Report and Order issued by the FCC, if we are able to at all. Our current estimates regarding our operating costs, including the timing and costs of our retuning process, are based on the terms of the NPRM and our assumptions regarding the terms of the Report and Order to be issued by the FCC, if at all. The accuracy of these assumptions and the timing of our regulatory initiatives with the FCC, our retuning efforts and the commercialization of our spectrum assets are subject to significant uncertainties and may cause our quarterly and annual results to be unpredictable for the foreseeable future. In addition, the adoption by the FCC of a Report and Order may be significantly delayed, may contain materially different and adverse terms than the NPRM, or may never occur and we may never be able to commercialize our spectrum assets. Please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Retuning Process and the Use of Our Spectrum—Our plans to commercialize our 900Mhz spectrum assets depend on the successful and timely implementation of regulatory initiatives aimed at increasing the usability and capacity of our spectrum by the FCC. These regulatory initiatives may not be successful on a timely basis, or at all, or the regulatory implementation may be significantly delayed beyond the timing we have anticipated in our business plan” and other risk factors in this Form 10-Q for risks and additional discussion to our retuning process.

Historically, we generated our revenue principally from our pdvConnect and TeamConnect businesses. pdvConnect is a mobile communication and workforce management solution that ~~enables businesses to locate and communicate with their field workers and improve the documentation of work events and job status. We~~we historically marketed ~~pdvConnect primarily~~ through two Tier 1 carriers in the United States. In Fiscal 2016, we began offering a commercial push-to-talk (“PTT”) service, which we marketed as TeamConnect, in seven major metropolitan areas throughout the United States, including Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, New York and ~~Philadelphia. We developed TeamConnect to address the needs~~

Philadelphia. We primarily offered our TeamConnect service to customers indirectly through third-party sales representatives who were primarily selected from Motorola’s nationwide dealer network.

In June 2018, we announced our plan to restructure the business to align and focus our business priorities on ~~the~~our FCC spectrum initiatives aimed at modernizing and realigning the 900 MHz ~~band to increase its usability and capacity, including for the future deployment of broadband and other advanced technologies and services.~~band. In December 2018, our board of directors approved the transfer of our TeamConnect business and support of our pdvConnect ~~business .~~business. Specifically, we entered into: (i) a Customer Acquisition and Resale Agreement with A BEEP LLC (“A BEEP”) on January 2, 2019, (ii) a Customer Acquisition, Resale and Licensing Agreement with Goosetown Enterprises, Inc. (“Goosetown”) on January 2, 2019 and (iii) a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with the principals of Goosetown on December 31, 2018. On March 31, 2019, the agreements were amended to ~~mainly~~ define the transition date as April 1, 2019 ~~as well as~~and to clarify the responsibilities between the parties.

Under the A BEEP and Goosetown Agreements, we agreed to: (i) transfer our TeamConnect customers located in the Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Phoenix metropolitan markets to A BEEP, (ii) transfer our TeamConnect customers located in the Baltimore/Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York metropolitan markets to Goosetown, (iii) provide A BEEP and Goosetown with access to our TeamConnect Metro and Campus Systems (the, “MotoTRBO Systems ”) and (iv) grant A BEEP and Goosetown the right to resell access to our MotoTRBO Systems pursuant to separate Mobile Virtual Network Operation arrangements for a two-year period. We also granted Goosetown a license to sell the business applications we developed for our TeamConnect service.

Under these agreements, A BEEP and Goosetown agreed to provide customer care, billing and collection services for their respective acquired customers. We initially continued to provide these services through April 1, 2019 to help facilitate the transitioning of the acquired customers. Additionally, we are required to maintain and pay all site lease, backhaul and utility costs required to operate the MotoTRBO Systems for a two-year period. As part of our efforts to clear the 900 MHz spectrum for broadband use, A BEEP and

Goosetown are required to migrate the acquired customers off the MotoTRBO Systems over the two-year period. In consideration for the customers and rights we transferred, A BEEP and Goosetown are required to pay us a certain portion of the recurring revenues they receive from the acquired customers ranging from 100% to 20% during the terms of the agreements. Additionally, A BEEP is required to pay us a portion of recurring revenue from customers who utilize A BEEP’s push-to-talk Diga-Talk Plus application service ranging from 35% to 15% for a period of two years. Goosetown is required to pay us 20% of recurring revenues from the TeamConnect applications we licensed for a period of two years. As part of our obligations, we will continue operating the TeamConnect networks in the markets in which customers are being transferred and trunked facilities in other markets in which we hold FCC licenses.

Under the terms of the MOU, we agreed to assign the intellectual property rights to our TeamConnect and pdvConnect applications and assets to support the pdvConnect application to TeamConnect LLC (the “ LLC”), a new entity formed by the principals of Goosetown, in exchange for a 19.5% ownership interest in the ~~LLC, upon the April 30, 2019 execution of the LLC’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement.~~LLC. The Goosetown principals have agreed to fund the future operations of the LLC, subject to certain limitations. The LLC has assumed our software support and maintenance obligations under the Goosetown and A BEEP Agreements. The LLC has also assumed customer care services related to our pdvConnect application. We provided transition services to the LLC through April 1, 2019 to facilitate an orderly transition of the customer care services.

As of September 30, 2019, we transferred network, computer and other equipment with a net book value of $72,000, and recorded an investment in the LLC amounting to $14,000 and loss on disposal of assets amounting to $58,000 relating to the transfer of the assets as of such date. As of December 31, 2019, the Company also completed the transfer of the intellectual property rights with a net book value of $174,000 to the LLC and recorded an investment in the LLC amounting to $34,000 and loss on disposal of intangible asset amounting to $140,000 relating to the transfer of the intellectual property. We are also obligated to pay the LLC a monthly services fee for a 24-month period ending on January 7, 2021 for its assumption of our support obligations under the Goosetown and A BEEP Agreements. We are also obligated to pay the LLC a certain portion of the billed revenue received by us from pdvConnect customers for a 48-month period.

Direct cost of revenue. Direct cost of revenue decreased by ~~$0.6~~$0.3 million, or ~~31%~~35%, to ~~$1.5~~$0.6 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 from ~~$2.1~~$0.9 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, direct cost of revenue decreased by $1.4 million, or 38%, to $2.2 million from $3.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 iswere attributable to lower costs related to radio sales ~~and depreciation for radio rental~~ as a result of the transfer of our TeamConnect customers to A BEEP and Goosetown as part of our December 2018 restructuring efforts as discussed in ~~Notes 1 and 7~~Note 3 above.

Gross loss increased by $0.8 million, or 278% to ($1.0 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $(274,000) in June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the transfer of our TeamConnect customers to A BEEP and Goosetown, as part of our December 2018 restructuring efforts as discussed in Notes 1, 3 and 7 above.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$0.9~~$0.5 million, or ~~17%~~9%, to ~~$6.5~~$4.7 million from ~~$5.6~~$5.2 million for three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 1%, to $14.1 million from $14.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The ~~increase~~decrease of $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 resulted mainly from lower professional services. The $0.2 million decrease for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 resulted primarily from ~~$0.5 million in stock-based compensation due to additional equity awards granted and $0.2 million in professional services.~~

$0.1 million lower professional services and $0.6 million lower employee related costs due to lower headcount resulting from the restructuring activities in Fiscal 2019, partially offset by $0.5 million increase in costs related to the monthly service fee for the transfer of our TeamConnect customers.

Sales and support expenses. Sales and support expenses ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$0.4~~$0.3 million, or ~~26%~~53%, to ~~$1.2~~$0.9 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 from ~~$1.6~~$0.6 million for three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, sales and support expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 6%, to $2.9 million from $3.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in the three months ended December 31, 2019 was due to higher salaries and consulting costs due to the realignment of the business. The decrease in the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was attributable to the impact of the reduction in workforce that occurred in Fiscal 2019 resulting in ~~$0.6 million of~~ lower headcount and related costs, ~~in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020~~ partially offset by the impairment of contract costs related to the TeamConnect customers transferred to A BEEP and Goosetown.

Product development expenses. Product development expenses remained relatively flat for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 as compared to the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended December 31, 2019 increased by $0.4 million, or 63% to $1.1 million from $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, depreciation and amortization increased by $0.3 million, or 13%, to $2.4 million from $2.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company adjusted the estimated non-cash capitalized asset retirement obligations and useful life for its network sites, resulting in additional depreciation expense of $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Stock compensation expense (exclusive of restructuring related costs). Stock compensation expense exclusive of restructuring related costs for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 remained relatively flat as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018.

As discussed in Note 11, we have outstanding performance stock units and stock options that the recipient would receive upon the Company’s attainment of the applicable performance goals, which are: prior to January 13, 2020 (A) issuance of a Final Order from the FCC providing for the creation and allocation of licenses for spectrum in the 900 MHz band consisting of paired blocks of contiguous spectrum, each containing at least 3 MHz of contiguous spectrum, authorized for broadband wireless communications uses and (B) the lack of objection by the Company's board of directors to the terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, the rebanding, clearing and relocation procedures, license assignment and award mechanisms, and technical and operational rules) set forth or referenced in the Final Order. These awards do not forfeit. The unvested stock compensation expense for these performance awards was $5.0 million as of December 31, 2019, of which $3.0 million is related to the performance stock units and $2.0 million is related to the performance stock options.

Restructuring costs. Restructuring costs of ~~$110,000~~$35,000 and $195,000 were incurred in the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 mainly for employee severance and benefit costs relating to the December 2018 cost reduction and restructuring actions related to the ~~transferring~~transfer of the TeamConnect business and the support for our pdvConnect business to A BEEP, Goosetown and the LLC.

For the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018, $0.4 million of restructuring costs was recorded for the cash payments under the consulting and transition agreements for other key employees. For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, $8.5 million of the restructuring costs were incurred, as a result of the April, June and ~~June~~December 2018 announcements of a restructuring plan to shift our focus and resources to pursue the regulatory initiatives at the FCC and prepare for the future deployment of broadband and other advanced technologies and services. In light of this shift in focus, the board also approved a chief executive officer transition plan, under which, John Pescatore, our chief executive officer and president, transitioned to the position of vice chairman and Morgan O’Brien, our then-current vice chairman, assumed the position as our new chief executive officer. In connection with the transition, we and Mr. Pescatore entered into a Continued Service, Consulting and Transition Agreement and a separate Consulting Agreement. In the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a liability of $0.9 million for the cash payments under both the Transition and Consulting Agreements and $2.8 million for non-cash stock compensation. Also, in June 2018 our Board of Directors approved an initial restructuring plan in order to reduce the future operating costs of our TeamConnect and pdvConnect businesses. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we eliminated approximately 20 positions, or 20% of our workforce resulting in severance and benefit costs of $0.3 million.

Impairment of long-lived assets. The impairment for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018 resulted from the carrying value of our TeamConnect radios not being fully recoverable due to the realigning of our business to focus on our spectrum initiatives. ~~There was no~~For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, the $33,000 non-cash impairment charge for long-lived assets consisted of $22,000 for property and equipment and $11,000 for a right of use asset to reduce the ~~three months ended June 30, 2019.~~carrying values to zero.

Interest income ~~remained relatively flat~~increased by 32% and 39% for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended ~~June 30, 2018.~~December 31, 2018 due to the return on the net proceeds from the July 2019 follow-on offering.

For the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019, other income represents payments received in consideration for the customers and rights transferred to A BEEP and Goosetown.

The loss on investment for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 is due to the 19.5% ownership interest in TeamConnect LLC.

A non-cash ~~state~~deferred income expense of ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million and $0.6 million was recorded for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~December 31, 2019, respectively. The state income tax expense portion resulted from our determination that most of our state operating loss carryforwards ~~revealed that most of them~~ are not indefinite. As a result, we recorded approximately ~~$0.3 million~~$56,000 and $467,000 of state deferred tax expense and an additional related state deferred tax liability reflecting our inability to use the state NOL carryforward against the indefinite-lived ~~intangible.~~intangible for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. A non-cash federal deferred income tax expense and liability of $75,000 and $127,000 were recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018, there was no income tax expense recorded as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “TCJA”), passed on December 22, 2017. The TCJA provided that federal net operating losses generated in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 are indefinite lived deferred tax assets and can be fully offset by our deferred tax liability related to our indefinite lived intangible assets.

Our accounts receivable are heavily concentrated in one domestic carrier partner and one reseller. As of December 31, 2019, our net accounts receivable balance was approximately $83,000, of which approximately $72,000, or approximately 87%, was owed by these one domestic carrier partner and one reseller.

Our accounts receivable was heavily concentrated in two Tier 1 domestic carrier partners. As of June 30, 2019, our accounts receivable balance was approximately $0.3 million, of which approximately $0.2 million, or approximately 78%, was due from these third-party Tier 1 domestic carrier partners.

Net proceeds from July 2019 follow-on offering. In July 2019, we completed a registered follow-on offering in which it sold 2,222,223 shares of ~~our FCC initiatives; activities related~~common stock at a purchase price to the ~~commercializing our spectrum assets~~public of $45.00 per share. Net proceeds were approximately $94.2 million after deducting $5.5 million in underwriting discounts and ~~our ability to sign customer contracts; the costs to retune our spectrum~~commissions, and relocate incumbents to qualify for broadband licenses; the costs of any additional spectrum we elect to purchase; the costs and ongoing obligations related to our former TeamConnect and pdvConnect businesses; the revenues we generate from royalties we may receive from our agreements we entered into with the buyers of our TeamConnect and our pdvConnect businesses; and our ability to control our operating$0.3 million in offering expenses.

In April 2018, we announced a shift in our focus and resources to pursue our regulatory initiatives at the FCC and prepare for our future broadband opportunities. In light of this shift in focus, our board of directors approved a chief executive officer transition plan, under which, John Pescatore, our chief executive officer and president, transitioned to the position of vice chairman and Morgan O’Brien, our then-current vice chairman, assumed the position as our new chief executive officer. In connection with the transition, we and Mr. Pescatore entered into the CEO Transition Agreements. For Fiscal 2019, we recorded a charge of $1.8 million for the cash payments under the CEO Transition Agreements. These payments will be made over twenty-four months ending on October 2020. We also entered into consulting and transition and agreements with several other key employees. For Fiscal 2019, we recorded an additional charge of $1.9 million for the cash payments to be made to those other key employees. These payments will be made over eighteen months ending on October 2020.

In January 2019, we announced that we had entered into agreements to transfer our TeamConnect and pdvConnect businesses. Specifically, the Company entered into a (i) Customer Acquisition and Resale Agreement with A BEEP LLC (“A BEEP”) on January 2, 2019, (ii) a Customer Acquisition, Resale and Licensing Agreement with Goosetown Enterprises, Inc. (“Goosetown”) on January 2, 2019 and (iii) a memorandum of understanding with the principals of Goosetown on December 31, 2018. We will continue operating our push-to-talk networks in the markets in which customers are being transferred and trunked facilities in other markets in which we hold FCC licenses. ~~In connection with transferring~~Under the ~~TeamConnect~~terms of the MOU, we are obligated to pay the LLC a monthly service fee for a 24-month period ending on January 7, 2021 for its assumption our support obligations under the A BEEP and ~~pdvConnect businesses, on December 31, 2018, our board~~Goosetown agreements. We are also obligated to pay the LLC a certain portion of ~~directors approved~~ the following cost reduction actions: (i) the elimination of approximately 20 positions, or 30% of our workforce and (ii) the closure of our office in San Diego, California (collectively, the “December 2018 Cost-Reduction Actions”). We expect, an additional $0.3 million of restructuring charges will be incurred during fiscal 2020 and 2021 related to employee retention costs. Overall, we expect that the transfer of our TeamConnect and pdvConnect businesses and the December 2018 Cost-Reduction Actions will decrease our operating costs by approximately $2.1 million on an annualized basis. The actions associated with the cost reduction and restructuring actions were completed by July 31, 2019. It is anticipated that the related cash payments for severance costs will occurbilled revenue received by the ~~end of August 31, 2019.~~

On April 12, 2019, we filed a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 with the SEC that was declared effective on April 22, 2019, which allowed us to offer up to $100 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants in one or more offerings and in any combination, including in units from time to time. Our Shelf Registration Statement was intended to provide us with additional flexibility to access capital markets for general corporate purposes.

In July 2019, we completed a registered follow-on offering of common stock pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement resulting in the sale of 2,222,223 shares at a purchase price to the public of $45.00 per share. Net proceeds were approximately $94.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and our estimated offering expenses. In addition, the underwriters have an option to purchase up to 333,333 shares of common stock through August 15, 2019.

In connection with this follow-on offering, we de-registered the shares of common stock we had previously registered for sale in at-the-market sales transaction pursuant to the Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement and the Sales Agreement we had previously entered with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and B. Riley FBR, Inc. Other than the 333,333 shares of common stock subject to the underwriters’ option, we have fully utilized the securities we registered under the Shelf Registration Statement.

We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand will be sufficient to meet our financial obligations through at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on ~~a number of~~many factors, ~~including~~including: the ~~costs~~timeline and ~~timing~~results of our FCC ~~initiatives,~~initiatives; activities related to the commercializing our spectrum ~~retuning activities, including~~assets and our ability to sign customer contracts; the costs ~~related~~ to ~~relocating~~retune our spectrum and relocate incumbents ~~and acquiring additional spectrum~~ to qualify for broadband ~~licenses,~~ licenses; the costs of any additional spectrum we elect to purchase; the costs and ongoing obligations related to our ~~operating activities~~former TeamConnect and ~~any~~pdvConnect businesses; the revenues we generate ~~through~~from royalties we may receive from our ~~commercialization activities.~~ agreements we entered into with the buyers of our TeamConnect and our pdvConnect businesses; and our ability to control our operating expenses.

See “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q for risks and uncertainties that could cause our costs to be more than we currently anticipate and/or our revenue and operating results to be lower than we currently anticipate.

As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, we did not have and do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Our financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable. We consider investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. However, because of the short-term nature of the highly liquid instruments in our portfolio, a 10% change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material impact on our financial condition and/or results of operations.

Our operations are based in the United States and, accordingly, all of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. We are currently not exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that remains in the process of being remediated as discussed below.

As we previously disclosed, subsequent to filing our Form 10-K for year ended March 31, 2018 with the SEC on June 5, 2018, an error was discovered related to our interpretation and application of the effective dates of changes in the accounting treatment of our net operating losses in accordance with the new tax laws instituted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017 (the “TCJA”). As a result of this error, we filed a Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2017 and a Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2018 with the SEC on August 10, 2018 to amend and restate our financial statements for those periods.

In our Form 10-K/A, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, determined that this error in interpretation and application of the new tax laws instituted by the TCJA, which was not detected timely by management, was the result of an inadequate design of controls pertaining to our review and analysis of changing tax legislation. As a result, they determined that this deficiency represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. They also concluded

that we did not maintain ~~effective internal control over financial, including~~ effective disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018 due to this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, in connection with preparing our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, determined that we had improper segregation of duties and other design gaps caused by user access deficiencies within the design of our information technology controls that support our financial reporting processes, and that this deficiency represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019. The material weakness did not result in any changes to our financial statements or results.

A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A material weakness will not be deemed to be remediated until management has implemented the remedial policies and procedures and there has been sufficient time to test the new controls to determine that the material weakness has been remediated.

To remediate the material weakness related to new tax laws, our management: (i) implemented new controls designed to evaluate the appropriateness of our income tax policies and procedures, (ii) put into place additional training programs focused on new tax legislation and (iii) implemented policies and procedures regarding the review and evaluation of tax guidelines published by the major accounting firms. To remediate the material weakness in our controls related to user access to our information technology systems, our management: (i) promptly terminated the access granted to the individuals with incompatible duties and (ii) implemented new policies and procedures related to security access controls over our information technology systems.

In evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, ~~determined~~believe that we ~~had successfully remediated~~have put in place the ~~material weakness in our controls related to user access to our information technology systems. They also determined that we had not sufficiently tested the new~~proper policies, procedures and controls ~~related~~ to ~~our review and analysis of changing tax legislation to allow them to conclude that this~~remediate the material weakness, ~~had been remediated as of June 30, 2019. As a result,~~which will be tested during our ~~management concluded that~~ ~~our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2019 because of this material weakness in our~~annual internal control ~~over financial reporting remained in~~assessment for the ~~process of being remediated as of such date.~~ ~~We expect that this material weakness will be fully remediated by the quarter~~fiscal year ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

In evaluating us and our common stock, we urge you to carefully consider the risks (including those disclosed below) and other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 20, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”)~~. Other than~~ and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the ~~following risk factors that we updated in the Prospectus Supplement we~~quarter ended June 30, 2019, filed with the SEC ~~in connection with the follow-on offering of our common stock that we completed in July~~on August 8, 2019 ~~there~~(the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”). There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our ~~Annual Report on~~ Form ~~10-K.~~10-K, as amended and supplemented by our First Quarter Form 10-Q. Any of the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our Form 10-K or in our First Quarter Form 10-Q, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

~~Risks Related to Our Spectrum Initiatives, the Retuning Process and the Use of Our Spectrum~~

Our plans to commercialize our 900Mhz spectrum assets to support the deployment of broadband networks, technologies and solutions depends on the FCC’s issuance of a favorable Report and Order in the 900 MHz proceeding. The FCC may not issue a Report and Order on a timely basis, or at all, and the terms of the Report and Order may not be favorable or may significantly delay or increase the costs required to commercialize our spectrum assets compared to the timing and costs we have assumed in our business plan.

While our current 900 MHz spectrum holdings can support narrowband and wideband wireless services, the most significant business opportunities we have identified will require greater bandwidth than allowed by the current configuration of our spectrum. Our plans to commercialize our spectrum assets depends on the FCC issuing a Report and Order in the 900 MHz proceeding with favorable terms and on a timely basis, as described below. Obtaining a favorable result from the FCC may take more time than we anticipate, and will continue to require significant attention by our management team and the expenditure of significant resources by us. Moreover, we do not know if or when the FCC will take action to issue a Report and Order, or if any such action will be favorable to our plans. Our business plan and funding requirements may not have sufficiently accounted for the timing of the FCC’s issuance of a final Report and Order. If there is an extensive delay in adoption of a Report and Order, prospective customers of the Company’s spectrum may elect to invest in other communication solutions to address their operating requirements. In addition, an extensive delay beyond what we have anticipated in our business plan will further delay us from commercializing our spectrum assets, and we may need to seek additional sources of capital and liquidity in order to carry out our business and plans, including the retuning process. Please see the risk factors “~~We may not be able to correctly estimate our operating expenses orfuture revenues, which could lead to cash shortfalls, and require us to secure additional financing sooner thanplanned.” and “We will need to secure additional financing to support our long-term business plans.” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on May 20, 2019.~~

As our first priority, we are pursuing regulatory initiatives at the FCC aimed at modernizing and realigning the 900 MHz spectrum band to increase its usability and capacity by allowing it to be utilized for deployment of broadband networks, technologies and solutions. In March 2019, the FCC unanimously adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRM”) that proposes the creation of a broadband opportunity in the 900 MHz band for critical infrastructure and other enterprise users. In the NPRM, the FCC has proposed three criteria for an applicant to secure a broadband license in a county: (i) the applicant must hold all 20 blocks of geographic Specialized Mobile Radio (“SMR”) licenses in the county; (ii) the applicant must reach agreement to relocate all incumbents in the broadband segment on a 1:1 voluntary channel exchange or demonstrate that the incumbent holders will be protected from interference; and (iii) the applicant must agree to return to the FCC all rights to geographic and site-based spectrum in the county in exchange for the broadband license.

In the NPRM, the FCC requested comments from incumbents and other interested parties on a number of important topics that will have a material impact on the timing and costs of obtaining a broadband license, assuming the FCC issues a Report and Order supporting reconfiguration of the 900 MHz for broadband use. As noted above, a broadband applicant, like the Company, must hold all 20 blocks of geographic SMR licenses in a particular county. In certain areas, SMR spectrum is being held in inventory by the FCC. In the NPRM, the FCC requested comments on how a broadband applicant could acquire the FCC’s inventory of geographic

SMR-allocated spectrum. Specifically, in considering whether to make its inventory available to the broadband applicant, the FCC has asked whether it should do so only if the applicant meets a threshold number of its own geographic licenses. The FCC also questions how to mitigate a windfall that might thereby be attributed to such an applicant. The failure of the FCC to make its SMR licenses available to us, as a broadband applicant, on a timely and cost-effective basis, or at all, could limit or defeat entirely our ability to qualify for broadband licenses in a number of counties based on the existing criteria in the NPRM. In addition, the FCC’s concerns

about a potential windfall to the Company as a result of the FCC contributing its inventory of SMR spectrum and/or allowing the Company to convert narrowband channels to a broadband channel, and any additional costs, requirements or restrictions they could impose as a result of such concern, could severely limit our ability to obtain broadband licenses or significantly delay or increase our costs of acquiring broadband licenses from the FCC.

The NPRM also proposes a market-driven, voluntary exchange process for clearing the broadband spectrum. An applicant seeking a broadband license for a particular county will need to demonstrate that it has entered into agreements with incumbents or that it can protect their narrowband operations from interference. All incumbents must be accounted for before the broadband application may be filed, which could lead to holdouts. For example, an incumbent may demand compensation in an amount that is disproportionate to the cost of relocating its system or any reasonable reflection of the value of its spectrum holdings or may elect not to negotiate an agreement at all. In the NPRM, the FCC has requested comments on different approaches to address the holdout situation, including several different auction options. Each of the approaches would trigger mandatory relocation rights for the prospective broadband applicant, and the Company, would be required to pay the costs associated with providing incumbents with comparable facilities and paying relocation costs. These relocation costs could be significant. If the FCC were to conduct either overlay or incentive auctions for the broadband license in some or all counties, parties other than the Company could obtain the broadband license(s) by outbidding the Company. Conversely, if the FCC were to adopt an exchange process that did not have any mechanism for addressing holdouts, the Company’s ability to obtain broadband licenses could be limited or delayed significantly.

The NPRM also proposes to exempt from mandatory relocation “complex systems,” with 65 or more integrated sites, which would prevent the Company from obtaining broadband licenses in counties where these complex systems are located without the operator’s consent, which could be withheld for any reason. Further, depending on the rules in any Report and Order issued by the FCC, the Company’s ability to address potential holdouts, and clear the 900 MHz band as required to qualify for broadband licenses, may be delayed or be uneconomical, and in some counties incumbents may be able to prevent the Company from qualifying for

The Association of American Railroads (“AAR”) holds a nationwide geographic license for six non-contiguous private land mobile systems for business users (“B/ILT”) channels in the 900 MHz band, three of which are located within the FCC’s proposed broadband segment. The spectrum is used by freight railroads for Advanced Train Control System (“ATCS”) operations. We have recognized from the outset the importance of reaching agreement with the railroads about their relocation and have worked with them throughout the FCC process. We believe that we and the AAR are in agreement about the optimal solution. However, this proposed solution will require an exemption from the relocation rules proposed by the FCC in the NPRM. We are continuing to coordinate our activities at the FCC with the AAR in support of securing the required exemption from the FCC. There is no assurance that the FCC will grant this exemption, or that we can reach a final agreement with the AAR on acceptable terms, or at all.

The NPRM also proposes “performance” or build-out requirements that the Company would be required to meet to retain each broadband license and then to renew it. These requirements are based on deployment of a S-14 system, including a system operating pursuant to a lease arrangement with the Company, that provides reliable coverage to an area that includes a defined percentage of the population in the county. A failure to satisfy this requirement could result in the cancellation of a broadband license. In addition, under its business plan, the Company intends that its customers will be responsible to pay the build-out costs. Such build-out requirements

~~could impose a significant expense and could cause potential customers to decide not to license spectrum assets from us, or to seek alternatives from other providers.~~

The full text of the NPRM, and the comments and related correspondence filed in the 900 MHz proceeding, are available on the FCC’s public website. The NPRM comment and reply comment periods ended on July 2, 2019. The FCC’s next step could be the issuance of a Report and Order, a request for additional information, a decision to close the proceeding without further action, or some other action. There is no assurance if or when the FCC will issue a Report and Order. The timing of a decision by the FCC cannot be known or anticipated at this point in time. Further, the terms of any Report and Order may differ materially from the terms of the current NPRM. For example, there is no assurance that the FCC will ultimately issue a Report and Order that will allow our licensed 900 MHz spectrum to be utilized for broadband networks, technologies and solutions. Further, even if the FCC issues a Report and Order that permits the utilization of 900 MHz spectrum for broadband networks, technologies and solutions, the terms and conditions of such Report and Order could make it significantly more difficult, time consuming and/or costly to obtain broadband licenses from the FCC than we have anticipated. If the FCC fails to issue a Report and Order that provides for the issuance of broadband licenses in the 900 MHz band, or if the terms and conditions in the Report and Order do not allow us to obtain broadband licenses in a timely manner and on commercially reasonable terms, we will be unable to commercialize our spectrum assets, and our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects will be materially adversely affected.

~~Even if our FCC initiatives are successful, we may not be successful in commercializing our spectrum assets.~~

Our team has engaged in a research and outreach program to identify customers who would likely place value on utilizing our spectrum assets to deploy private broadband networks, technologies and solutions, assuming our FCC initiatives are successful. Based on our market research, we have identified electrical utilities as our initial target customers. As of the date of this filing, we have not signed our first customer contract with an electric utility or other critical infrastructure entity for the long-term lease of our spectrum

assets for the deployment of broadband networks, technologies and solutions. Further, there is no assurance, that we will be successful in our efforts to commercialize our spectrum assets. For example, utilities, or other critical infrastructure and enterprise customers, may not elect to lease our spectrum assets on terms satisfactory to us, on a timely basis, or at all. Similarly, there is no assurance that utilities and other critical infrastructure customers will retain us for any other value-added engineering or commercial services we offer them. As a result, even if we are successful with our FCC initiatives, our future prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of implementing a new business plan and pursuing opportunities in new, highly competitive and rapidly developing markets.

In addition, under our current business plan, we intend to enter into long-term leasing or other transfer arrangements for our spectrum assets with one customer, or a limited number of customers, in each geographic area. We also expect that our customers will bear the costs of deploying and operating their private broadband networks. As a result, many geographic areas may have only one or a limited number of potential customers, and if we are not successful with this customer or customers, our spectrum may not be utilized and we will not be able to generate revenues from owning spectrum in these geographic areas. In addition, even if we enter into a long-term lease or transfer arrangement for a geographical area, that customer will typically require rights to all spectrum we have in that geographic area. Because of this, we will not have additional spectrum assets to lease in such geographical area to other potential customers. Further, other than our lease or transfer arrangements, we will not generate revenue from the operation of the broadband networks or technologies deployed by our customers. As a result, there is considerable uncertainty as to whether we can generate sufficient revenues to develop a profitable business from leasing or otherwise transferring our licensed 900 MHz spectrum.

Further, our assessment that we should target utilities and other critical infrastructure entities as customers for our spectrum is based on our determination that these entities have regulatory and other incentives to install a significant number of new technologies, such as smart devices and sensors, that will generate an increasing amount of data that cannot be addressed well by their existing communication networks and systems. Our potential customers, however, are large organizations, and a decision to implement private broadband networks, technologies and solutions is a significant decision and will require significant capital outlays. Any negotiation and contract process with these potential customers may take longer than we currently expect. In addition, there is no assurance that the governmental agencies that regulate these entities will allow them to pass the capital costs of implementing broadband networks, technologies and solutions utilizing our spectrum on to their ratepayers. In addition, although there is broad availability of broadband Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) , there is no assurance that our targeted customers will be able to utilize existing broadband networks, technologies and solutions with our spectrum without requiring modifications to existing equipment or engaging in product and/or service development efforts, any of which could result in deployment delays, require them or us to invest in technology or other development activities or otherwise adversely limit the potential benefits or value of our spectrum assets. If any of these risks occur, our current plans to commercialize our spectrum assets may not be as valuable as we expect or may face significant delays, any of which would adversely affect our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.

~~Our initiatives with the federal and state agencies and commissions that regulate electric utilities may not be successful.~~

Our targeted critical infrastructure customers are highly regulated by both federal and state agencies. Electrical utilities, for example, are regulated by federal agencies ranging from the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the national Institute of Standards and Technologies. We are working with each of these agencies to educate them about the potential benefits that private broadband LTE networks, technologies and solutions utilizing our spectrum assets can offer utilities. We are also working with a number of state agencies and commissions who regulate electrical utilities, and who have a strong influence over electric utility buying decisions. Our goal with these state agencies and commissions is to gain their support for utilities being allowed to pass the capital costs of leasing our spectrum assets and deploying private broadband LTE networks, technologies and solutions to ratepayers, including at a customary rate of return for the electric utility company. We are in the early stages of our initiatives with these federal and state agencies and commissions. We may not be successful in gaining support from these governmental bodies on a timely basis, or at all, which could hinder or delay our commercialization efforts with electric utilities and other critical infrastructure entities. If we do not gain support from these governmental bodies, our targeted critical infrastructure customers may not find it commercially feasible to license our spectrum assets, even if we are successful with our FCC initiatives.

Many of the third parties who have objected to our spectrum initiatives, or with whom we are competing against for spectrum opportunities, have significantly more resources, and greater political and regulatory influence, than we do.

Our FCC initiatives have been, and may continue to be, opposed by certain incumbents and other third parties with conflicting or competing business interests. Many of the third parties who are not supportive of our broadband initiatives, or with whom we compete for spectrum opportunities, have significantly more resources and greater political and regulatory influence than we do, which could prevent, delay or increase the costs of our spectrum initiatives and spectrum opportunities. Further, we may be required to make significant concessions or contractual commitments, purchase additional spectrum or replacement communication systems, or limit the use of our spectrum assets or restrict our pursuit of business opportunities, to address the concerns expressed by opposing incumbents

and other interested parties. For example, the NPRM currently proposes to exempt from mandatory relocation “complex systems,” with 65 or more integrated sites, which would prevent us from obtaining broadband licenses in counties where these complex systems are located without the operator’s consent, which could be withheld for any reason. This exemption and any other exemptions, concessions, limitations and restrictions or our requirement to make significant expenditures for spectrum or replacement communication systems could have a material adverse effect on our operations and business plan, our future prospects and opportunities and on our ability to develop a profitable business.

~~Spectrum is a limited resource, and we may not be able to obtain sufficient contiguous spectrum to support our spectrum initiatives or our planned business operations and future growth.~~

Spectrum is a limited resource whose non-Federal use is regulated in the U.S. by the FCC. In the NPRM, the FCC has proposed that an applicant must hold all 20 blocks of geographic SMR licenses in a particular county to qualify for a broadband license in that county. If any Report and Order issued by the FCC has a similar requirement, we will need to acquire additional spectrum, both from the FCC and from third party incumbents, to qualify to obtain broadband licenses in a number of important geographical areas. The amount of spectrum we will be required to purchase will vary in each county based on our existing spectrum holdings in such county. Our ability to acquire additional spectrum necessary to secure broadband licenses in these geographical areas on a timely and cost-effective basis will depend on the incumbents who hold the additional spectrum we need to acquire, and their operations that we may need to retune or replace. Our time and cost to purchase additional spectrum will also depend in large part on the terms of the FCC’s Report and Order, if any, and how the FCC allows the Company as a broadband applicant to address holdouts and to acquire its 900 MHz spectrum inventory. To prepare for our future business opportunities, we have acquired, and may continue to acquire, additional spectrum through negotiated purchases. We also may elect to acquire additional spectrum in government-sponsored auctions of spectrum. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be successful in acquiring the additional spectrum we will need to support our retuning efforts and to qualify to obtain broadband licenses even if the FCC issues a Report and Order in the 900 MHz proceeding. Further, there is no assurance that the terms of any Report and Order will not significantly increase our time and cost of acquiring spectrum. Any failure to obtain additional spectrum required to obtain broadband licenses and implement our business plans on a timely and cost-effective basis, will materially adversely affect our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.

~~Government regulations or actions taken by governmental bodies could adversely affect our business prospects, liquidity and results of operations~~.

The licensing and sale of spectrum assets, as well as the deployment and operation of wireless networks and technologies, are regulated by the FCC and, depending on the jurisdiction, state and local regulatory agencies. In particular, the FCC imposes significant regulation on licensees of wireless spectrum with respect to how FCC licenses may be transferred or sold. The FCC also regulates how the spectrum is used by licensees, the nature of the services that licensees may offer and how the services may be offered, including resolution of issues of interference between spectrum bands. In addition, the FCC grants wireless licenses for defined terms. While the Company’s current licenses have ten-year license terms, the NPRM has proposed a fifteen-year license term for 900 MHz broadband licenses. There is no guarantee that our existing or future licenses will be renewed. Failure to comply with FCC requirements applicable to a given licensee could result in revocation or non-renewal of the license, depending on the nature and severity of the non-compliance. If we, or any of the future licensees of our spectrum assets, fail to comply with applicable FCC regulations, we may be subject to sanctions or lose our FCC licenses, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, the FCC and other federal, state and local governmental authorities could adopt new regulations or take actions, including imposing taxes or fees on our business that could materially adversely affect our business, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. Further, the FCC or Congress may make additional spectrum available for communications services, which may result in the introduction of additional competitive entrants to the already crowded wireless communications marketplace in which we compete. For example, the federal government created and funded the First Responder Network Authority (“FirstNet”), which the federal government authorized to help accomplish, fund and oversee the deployment of a dedicated Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (“NPSBN”). The NPSBN may provide an additional source of competition to utilizing our 900 MHz spectrum assets by our targeted critical infrastructure and enterprise customers. Please see the risk factor “Our plans to commercialize our 900Mhz spectrum assets to support the deployment of broadband networks, technologies and solutions depends on the FCC’s issuance of a favorable Report and Order in the 900 MHz proceeding. The FCC may not issue a Report and Order on a timely basis, or at all, and the terms of the Report and Order may not be favorable or may significantly delay or increase the costs required to commercialize our spectrum assets compared to the timing and costs we have assumed in our business plan.” ~~above regarding the impact of government regulation on our request to realign a portion of the 900 MHz band from narrowband to broadband.~~

~~The value of our spectrum assets may fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand, as well as technical and regulatory changes.~~

~~The FCC spectrum licenses we hold are the Company’s most valuable asset. The value of our spectrum, however, may fluctuate based on various factors, including, among others:~~

•~~potential uses of our spectrum based on the FCC’s rules and regulations and available technology;~~

•the cost and time required to comply with the FCC’s requirements to obtain broadband licenses in the 900 MHz band, assuming the FCC issues a Report and Order that provides for broadband use in the 900 MHz band, including providing comparable facilities to and paying to relocate incumbents;

•~~the demand for private broadband networks, technologies and solutions by our targeted critical infrastructure and enterprise customers;~~

•~~our ability to enter into long-term leases or transfer arrangements with our targeted critical infrastructure and enterprise customers on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms;~~

•~~regulatory changes by the FCC to make additional spectrum available or to promote more flexible uses of existing spectrum; and~~

•~~the fluctuation of auction prices of spectrum in neighboring bands or any unsuccessful auctions of such spectrum.~~

Similarly, the price of any additional spectrum we desire to purchase to support our spectrum initiatives or our future business plans will also fluctuate based on similar factors. Any decline in the value of our spectrum or increases in the cost of the spectrum we acquire could have an adverse effect on our market value and our business and operating results.

~~We may not be able to correctly estimate our operating expenses or future revenues, which could lead to cash shortfalls, and require us to secure additional financing sooner than planned.~~

We have dedicated significant resources to support and pursue our regulatory initiatives with the FCC. We will need to continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future as we continue to pursue our regulatory initiatives with the FCC, retune the 900 MHz band as required to obtain broadband licenses from the FCC and continue to commercialize our spectrum assets.

After giving effect to the anticipated net proceeds from this offering, we expect that such proceeds, together with our existing cash, will be sufficient to fund our planned operating expenses, capital expenditure requirements and debt service payments for at least the next 12 months. Our budgeted expense levels are based in part on our expectations that our restructuring actions will be effective in reducing our operating expenses, as well as on the timing and terms of any Report and Order the FCC issues in the 900 MHz proceeding, the timing and costs of our retuning and other efforts required to qualify for broadband licenses and our sales and marketing efforts required to commercialize our spectrum assets.

However, we may not correctly predict the amount or timing of our future revenues and our operating expenses may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include:

•~~the time and resources required to pursue our spectrum initiatives, including our FCC proceedings and our efforts with incumbents to gain support for our initiatives;~~

•~~the cost and time to promote, market and commercialize our spectrum assets;~~

•~~the cost and time to obtain broadband licenses from the FCC, assuming our spectrum initiatives are successful, including the costs to retune and clear the 900 MHz band and acquire additional spectrum;~~

•~~the costs and potential liabilities related to the transfer of our TeamConnect and pdvConnect businesses; and~~

•~~the costs to attract and retain personnel with the skills required for effective operations.~~

In addition, we may not correctly predict the costs, amounts or timing of such future revenues or the timing or costs required to pursue our regulatory and business initiatives. Other unanticipated costs may arise that we currently do not anticipate. We may not be able to adjust our operations in a timely manner to compensate for any shortfall in our revenues, delays in our spectrum initiatives or increases in the expenses required to implement our long-term business plan. As a result, a significant shortfall in our planned revenues, a significant delay in our spectrum initiatives or a significant increase in our planned expenses could have an immediate and material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects. In such case, we may be required to issue additional equity or debt securities or enter into other commercial arrangements sooner than anticipated to secure the additional

financial resources to support our future operations and the implementation of our business plans. Such financing may result in dilution to stockholders, imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations, or other restrictions that may adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.

On May 18, 2015, we completed a public offering of our common stock in which we raised net proceeds of approximately $64.8 million. We registered the shares of common stock issued in the offering on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-203681), which the SEC declared effective on May 12, 2015. Through ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019 we have used approximately ~~$34.7~~$46.1 million of the net proceeds from this offering. We did not complete any transaction in which we paid any of these proceeds, directly or indirectly, to our directors or officers, to any person owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, to any associate of any of the foregoing, or to any of our affiliates. There has been no material change in the expected uses of the net proceeds from the offering as described in our Registration Statement.
