Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (this “Form 10-Q/A”) amends and restates certain items noted below in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Anterix, Inc. (the “Company”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 3, 2021 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A amends the Original Filing to reflect the correction of an error in the previously reported financial statements related to the Company’s accounting treatment of the gain in the estimated accounting cost basis of its intangible assets resulting from the non-monetary exchange of its narrowband licenses for broadband licenses.

Restatement

As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 3, 2022, in connection with the preparation of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 (“Q3 FY 22 Quarterly Report”), the Company determined that it incorrectly excluded the gain in the value of its intangible assets following the non-monetary exchange of the Company’s narrowband licenses for broadband licenses in August 2021 upon approval of the exchange by the Federal Communications Commission. The Company should have recorded the newly received broadband licenses at their estimated accounting cost basis and recognized the difference between the estimated accounting cost basis of the broadband licenses obtained and the carrying value of the narrowband licenses relinquished as a gain on disposal of intangible assets.

The Company has determined that its intangible assets should have increased by approximately $10.2 million as a result of this exchange, with a corresponding gain on disposal of the intangible assets. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q/A for additional information and a reconciliation of the previously reported amounts to the restated amounts.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has reassessed its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. As a result of this reassessment, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective controls and procedures due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that existed at that date. For a description of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and the remedial actions taken, and to be taken, to address and resolve the material weakness, see Part I, Item 4. “Controls and Procedures” of this Form 10-Q/A.

Items Amended in this Filing

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing, as amended, in its entirety; however, this Form 10- Q/A amends and restates the following Items of the Original Filing to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustments discussed above and to make corresponding revisions to the Company’s financial data cited elsewhere in this Form 10-Q/A:

-Part I, Item 1 – Financial Statements

-Part I, Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

-Part I, Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

-Part II, Item 1a – Risk Factors

-Part II, Item 6 – Exhibits

In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided new certifications dated as of the date of this filing (Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2), and the Company has provided its restated consolidated financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibit 101.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. This Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events that may have occurred after the date of the Original Filing or modify or update any disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events.

Anterix Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) (As Restated)

1. Nature of Operations

Anterix Inc. (the “Company”) is a wireless communications company focused on commercializing its spectrum assets to enable its targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers to deploy private broadband networks, technologies and solutions. 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 May 13, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) approved athe Report and Order 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 (the “Report and Order”). The Report and Order was published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2020 and became effective on August 17, 2020. The Company is now engaged in qualifying for and securing broadband licenses from the FCC, with a focus on pursuing licenses in those counties in which it believes it has near-term commercial opportunities.FCC.  At the same time, the Company’s sales and marketing organizationCompany is pursuing opportunities to lease the spectrum for which broadband licenses it securesare secured to its targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers.

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. OnIn 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.

In December 2020, the Company entered into its first long-term lease agreement of 900 MHz spectrum authorized for broadband spectrum lease agreements (the “Lease Agreements”use (“900 MHz Broadband Spectrum”) covering, with Ameren Corporation’sCorporation (“Ameren”) service territories., (“Ameren Agreements”). The LeaseAmeren Agreements will enable Ameren to deploy a private LTE network in its service territories in Missouri and Illinois, covering approximately 7.5 million people. Each LeaseAmeren Agreement is for a term of up to 40 years, consisting of an initial term of 30 years, with ana 10-year renewal option to extend for an additional 10-year term for an additional payment. The scheduled prepayments for the 30-year initial terms of the LeaseAmeren Agreements total approximately $48$47.7 million, dollars.  Full prepaymentof which $0.3 million was received by the Company in February 2021, $5.4 million in September 2021 and $17.2 million in October 2021. The prepayments received to date encompass the initial upfront payment(s) due upon signing of the Ameren Agreements and payments for delivery of the relevant 1.4 x 1.4 cleared spectrum in several metropolitan counties throughout Missouri and Illinois, in accordance with the terms of the Ameren Agreements. The remaining prepayments for the 30-year initial terms isterm are due by 2026, with approximately 50%mid-2026, per the terms of the total prepayments due June 2021.  The timing of these payments is subject toAmeren Agreements and as the Company’s timely clearing of spectrumCompany delivers the relevant cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and delivery ofthe associated broadband spectrum licenses. The Company is proactively clearingworking with incumbents fromto clear the 900 MHz broadband segmentsBroadband Spectrum allocation in Ameren’s service territories and expectsterritory. In August 2021, the FCC granted the first 900 MHz broadband licenses to begin delivering the broadband spectrum licensesCompany for several counties in Ameren’s service territory, for which the Ameren Agreements were also subsequently approved by county in June 2021.the FCC. The Company expects to recognize revenue from the LeaseAmeren Agreements commencing in the second half of fiscal year 2022. Revenue will be recognized as spectrum iscleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses are delivered based on straight-line amortization over the initial 30-year terms of the LeaseAmeren Agreements. The LeaseCompany’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved the Ameren Agreements on April 23, 2021, and Ameren’s board of directors approved the Ameren Agreements on May 6, 2021.

In February 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with SDG&E (the “SDG&E Agreement”), to provide 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum throughout SDG&E’s California service territory, including San Diego and Imperial Counties and portions of Orange County for a total payment of $50.0 million. The SDG&E Agreement will support SDG&E’s deployment of a private LTE network for its California service territory, with a population of approximately 3.6 million people. As part of the SDG&E Agreement, the Company and SDG&E are collaborating to accelerate the utility industry momentum for private networks. The SDG&E Agreement includes the assignment of 6 MHz of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum, 936.5 – 939.5 MHz paired with 897.5 – 900.5 MHz, within SDG&E’s service territory following the FCC’s issuance of the broadband licenses to the Company. Delivery of the relevant 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses by county is expected to commence in fiscal year 2023 and is scheduled for completion before the end of fiscal year 2024. The total payment of $50.0 million is comprised of an initial payment of $20.0 million received in February 2021 and the remaining $30.0 million payment, which is due through fiscal year 2024 as the Company delivers the relevant cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses to SDG&E. The Company is working with incumbents to clear the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum allocation in the SDG&E’s California service territory. The SDG&E Agreement is subject to customary provisions regarding remedies, including reduced payment amounts and/or refund of amounts paid, and termination rights, if a party fails to perform its contractual obligations. Both SDG&E and Anterix obtained all necessary internal approvals prior to executing the SDG&E Agreement. A gain or loss will be recognized in each county once the cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses are delivered to SDG&E.

10


In September 2021, the Company entered into a long-term lease agreement of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum with Evergy Services, Inc. (“Evergy”), (“Evergy Agreement”). The Evergy service territories covered by the Evergy Agreement are in Kansas and Missouri with a population of approximately 3.9 million people. The Evergy Agreement is for a term of up to 40 years, comprised of an initial term of 20 years with two 10-year renewal options for additional payments. Prepayment in full of the $30.2 million for the 20-year initial term, which was due and payable within thirty (30) days after execution of the Evergy Agreement, was received by the Company in October 2021. The Evergy Agreement is subject to customary provisions regarding remedies for non-delivery, including refund of amounts paid and termination rights, if Anterix fails to perform its contractual obligations, including failure to deliver the relevant cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum, in accordance with the terms of the Evergy Agreement. The Company is working with incumbents to clear the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum allocation covered by the Evergy Agreement. Evergy and Anterix obtained all necessary internal approvals prior to executing the Evergy Agreement. The Company expects to recognize revenue from the Evergy Agreement commencing in the second half of fiscal year 2022. Revenue will be recognized as the relevant 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum is delivered based on straight-line amortization over the initial 20-year term of the Evergy Agreement. 

2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of the Q3 FY 22 Quarterly Report, the Company determined that it incorrectly excluded the gain in the value of its intangible assets following the non-monetary exchange of the Company’s narrowband licenses for broadband licenses in August 2021 upon approval of exchange by the Federal Communications Commission. The Company should have recorded the newly received broadband licenses at their estimated accounting cost basis and recognized the difference between the estimated accounting cost basis of the broadband licenses obtained and the carrying value of the narrowband licenses relinquished as a gain on disposal of intangible assets. Refer to Note 5 for further discussion on the exchange of the new broadband licenses.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 U.S. 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, 2021, as filed on June 15, 2021 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.

Correction of Immaterial Errors

In connection with preparing its financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company determined that it incorrectly presented stock-based compensation and loss on disposal of long-lived assets, net in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company previously reported stock compensation expense as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Stock compensation expense should have been included in the same income statement line or lines as the cash compensation paid to the individuals receiving the stock-based awards such as general and administrative costs, product development and sales and support. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the separate line item of $8.6 million in stock compensation expense has been changed and split out to report as $8.4 million in general and administrative, $0.2 million in product development, and $62,000 in sales and support in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the separate line item of $10.6 million in stock compensation expense has been changed and split out to report as $10.2 million in general and administrative, $0.3 million in product development, and $0.1 million in sales and support in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following table is a comparison of the reported results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of the correction of immaterial errors (in thousands):

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are wireless licenses that are 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 to fifteen years, such licenses are subject to customary approvalrenewal 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.

Historically, wireless licenses were tested for impairment on an aggregate basis, consistent with the Company’s dispatch business at a national level. Effective in the year ended March 31, 2021, (“Fiscal 2021”), the Company determined the unit of accounting for impairment testing purposes should be based on geographical markets and accordingly, tested the wireless licenses for impairment based on these individual markets. The change in the unit of accounting was due to the Company’s expected use and marketability of its wireless licenses to support broadband operations at an individual market level as a result of the Report and Order. Due to the change in the unit of accounting, the Company performed a step one quantitative impairment test in Fiscal 2021 to determine if the fair value of the wireless licenses exceed the carrying value at the geographical market level. The estimated fair values of each unit of accounting were determined using a market-based approach based on the 600 MHz auction price as noted in the Report and Order. The Company also performed a step zero qualitative assessment on an

13


aggregate basis to test the wireless licenses for impairment due to the change in the unit of accounting in Fiscal 2021. There are no triggering events indicating impairment in the six months ended September 30, 2021.

Long-Lived Asset and Right of Use Assets Impairment

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 from 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. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $0.1 million for both periods in non-cash impairment charges to reduce the carrying values to 0 for long-lived assets consisting of network equipment. During the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $29,000 non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying values to 0 for long-lived assets consisting of network site costs. There was 0 impairment charge for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

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 and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 1,454,000 and 1,540,000 at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and have not been included in the dilutive weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, as their effects are anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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 April 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.

Long-Term Leases of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum. In December 2020, the Company entered into its first long-term lease agreement of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum with Ameren. The Ameren Agreements will enable Ameren to deploy a private LTE network in its service territories in Missouri and Illinois, covering approximately 7.5 million people. Each Ameren Agreement is for a term of up to 40 years, consisting of an initial term of 30 years, with a 10-year renewal option for an additional payment. The scheduled prepayments for the 30-year initial terms of the Ameren Agreements total $47.7 million, of which $0.3 million was received by the Company in February 2021, $5.4 million in September 2021 and conditions, including$17.2 million in October 2021. The prepayments received to date encompass the approvalinitial upfront payment(s) due upon signing of the Ameren Agreements and payments for delivery of the relevant 1.4 x 1.4 cleared spectrum in several metropolitan counties throughout Missouri and Illinois, in accordance with the terms of the Ameren Agreements. The remaining prepayments for the 30-year initial term are due by both companies’ boardsmid-2026, per the terms of the Ameren Agreements and as the Company delivers the relevant cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses. The Company is working with incumbents to clear the 900

14


MHz Broadband Spectrum allocation in Ameren’s service territory. In August 2021, the FCC granted the first 900 MHz broadband licenses to the Company for several counties in Ameren’s service territory, for which the Ameren Agreements were also subsequently approved by the FCC. The Company expects to recognize revenue from the Ameren Agreements commencing in the second half of fiscal year 2022. In accordance with ASC 606, the payments of prepaid fees under the Ameren Agreements will be accounted for as deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be recognized ratably as cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses are delivered by county over the contractual term of approximately 30-years. The Company’s Board approved the Ameren Agreements on April 23, 2021, and Ameren’s board of directors approved the Ameren Agreements on May 6, 2021.

In September 2021, the Company entered into a long-term lease agreement of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum with Evergy. The Evergy service territories covered by the Evergy Agreement are in Kansas and Missouri with a population of approximately 3.9 million people. The Evergy Agreement is for a term of up to 40 years, comprised of an initial term of 20 years with two 10-year renewal options for additional payments. Prepayment in full of the $30.2 million for the 20-year initial term, which was due and payable within thirty (30) days after execution of the Evergy Agreement, was received by the Company in October 2021. The Evergy Agreement is subject to customary provisions regarding remedies for non-delivery, including refund of amounts paid and termination rights, if Anterix fails to perform its contractual obligations, including failure to deliver the relevant cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum, in accordance with the terms of the Evergy Agreement. The Company is working with incumbents to clear the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum allocation covered by the Evergy Agreement. Evergy and Anterix obtained all necessary internal approvals prior to executing the Evergy Agreement. The Company expects to recognize revenue from the Evergy Agreement commencing in the second half of fiscal year 2022. In accordance with ASC 606, the payments of prepaid fees under the Evergy Agreement will be accounted for as deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be recognized ratably as cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the Company’s ability to secureassociated broadband licenses are delivered by county over the contractual term of approximately 20-years.

Service Revenue. The Company has historically derived its service revenue from the FCC.

Historical Business Operations

Historically, the Company generated revenue principally froma fixed monthly recurring unit price per user, with 30-day payment terms, for its pdvConnect and TeamConnect businesses.  pdvConnect is a mobile communication and workforce management solution.  The Company historically marketed pdvConnect primarily through two Tier 1 carriers in the United States.  In fiscal year 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 TeamConnect service was primarily offered to customers indirectly through third-party sales representatives who were largely selected from Motorola’s nationwide dealer network.

offerings. In June 2018, the Company announced its plan to restructure its operations to align and focus its business priorities on its broadband spectrum initiatives. Consistent with this restructuring plan, the Company transferred its TeamConnect business in December 2018 to A BEEP LLC (“A BEEP”) and Goosetown Enterprises, Inc (“Goosetown”), with the Company continuing to provide customer care, billing and collection services through April 1, 2019. On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with the principals of Goosetown. Under the terms of the MOU, the Company assigned the intellectual property rights to its TeamConnect and pdvConnect related applications to TeamConnect LLC (the “LLC”). The LLC assumed customer care services related to the pdvConnect service, with the Company providing transition services to the LLC through April 1, 2019. On April 1, 2020, the Company transferred its pdvConnect customers to the LLC and the LLC agreed to pay the Company a certain portion of the recurring revenues from these customers.

Follow-on Offering

In July 2019, the Company completed a registered follow-on offering in which it sold 2,222,223 shares of its common stock at a purchase price to the public of $45.00 per share.  Net proceeds were approximately $94.2 million after deducting $5.5 million in underwriting discounts and commissions, and $0.3 million in offering expenses.

Executive Succession Plan

On June 25, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing an effective date of July 1, 2020 for its executive leadership succession plan (the “Succession Plan”), which followed the achievement of the FCC Report and Order.

TeamConnect LLC

On August 4, 2020, we entered into Amendment 2 (“Amendment 2”) to the IP Assignment, Software Support, and Development Services Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2019, as previously amended, by and between us and TeamConnect, LLC (the “LLC”).  Under Amendment 2, we agreed to transfer our pdvConnect customers to the LLC, effective as of April 1, 2020, except for one Tier 1 domestic carrier.  In exchange for the customer transfer, the LLC agreed to pay us a certain portion of the recurring revenues from these customers.    

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 U.S. 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, 2020, as filed on May 28, 2020 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.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the corresponding amounts in the financial statementsdid 0t recognize any service revenue for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2020.  These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss or net loss per common share basic and diluted.

Intangible Assets

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.  On May 13, 2020, the FCC approved the Report and Order 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.  The Report and Order was published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2020 and became effective on August 17, 2020.September 30, 2021. The Company is now engaged in qualifying forrecognized $66,000 and securing broadband licenses from the FCC, with a focus on pursuing licenses in those counties in which it believes it has near-term commercial opportunities. While licenses are issued for only a fixed time, generally ten years, such licenses are subject to

10


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 part of developing broadband.  In the year ended March 31, 2020, (“Fiscal 2020”), the Company performed a step zero qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing.  There are no triggering events indicating impairment in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020.

See Note 4 “Intangible Assets” for a discussion of the Company’s (gain)/loss from the disposal of intangible assets incurred during the period ended December 31, 2020.

Long-Lived Asset and Right of Use Asset Impairment

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. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $11,000 and $40,000,$140,000, respectively, a non-cash impairment charge for long-lived assets consisting of network site costs to reduce the carrying values to zero.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a $33,000 non-cash impairment charge for long-lived assets consisting of $22,000 for property and equipment and $11,000 for a right of use asset to reduce the carrying values to zero.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

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 and ninesix months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods.September 30, 2020.

Common stock equivalents resulting from potentially dilutive securities approximated 1,402,000 and 1,396,000 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and have not been included in the dilutive weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, as their effects are anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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 April 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.

3.Revenue

In December 2018, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved the transfer of its TeamConnect business and support for its pdvConnect business to help reduce operating costs and to allow 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 on January 2, 2019, (ii) a Customer Acquisition, Resale and Licensing Agreement with Goosetown on January 2, 2019 and (iii) an 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 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 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 Plus application service ranging from 35% to 15% for a period of two years.    For a period of two years, Goosetown is required to pay the Company 20% of recurring revenues from the TeamConnect applications it licensed.    

Under the terms of the MOU that the Company entered into with the principals of Goosetown on December 31, 2018, the Company assigned the intellectual property rights to its TeamConnect and pdvConnect related applications to the LLC.  The LLC also assumed customer care services related to the pdvConnect service, with the Company providing transition services to the LLC through April 1, 2019. On April 1, 2020, the Company transferred its pdvConnect customers to the LLC, and the LLC agreed to pay the Company a certain portion of the recurring revenues from these customers.

In accordance with ASC 606, when the customer purchased or received a discounted handset in connection with entering into a contract for service, the Company allocated revenue between the handset and the service based on the relative standalone selling price.    Revenue was recognized when the performance obligation which includes providing the services or transferring control of promised handsets, which are distinct to a customer, had been satisfied.  Revenue was recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to for those performance obligations.

Long-Term Lease of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum.    In December 2020, the Company entered into its first long-term 900 MHz broadband spectrum lease agreements (the “Lease Agreements”) covering Ameren Corporation’s (“Ameren”) service territories.  The Lease Agreements will enable Ameren to deploy a private LTE network in its service territories in Missouri and Illinois covering approximately 7.5 million people.  Each Lease Agreement is for a term of up to 40 years, consisting of an initial term of 30 years, with an option to extend for an additional 10-year term for an additional payment.  The scheduled prepayments for the 30-year initial terms of the Lease Agreements total approximately $48 million dollars.  Full prepayment for the 30-year initial terms is due by 2026, with approximately 50% of the total prepayments due by June 2021.  The timing of these payments is subject to the Company’s clearing of spectrum and delivery of broadband spectrum licenses.  The Company is proactively clearing incumbents from the 900 MHz broadband segments in Ameren’s service territories and expects to begin delivering the broadband spectrum licenses by county in June 2021.  The Lease Agreements are subject to customary approval terms and conditions, including the approval by both companies’ boards of directors and the Company’s ability to secure broadband licenses from the FCC.

Assuming the conditions to the Lease Agreements are satisfied, the Company expects to recognize revenue from the Lease Agreements commencing in fiscal year 2022.  The payments of prepaid fees will be accounted for as deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized ratably as the Company delivers broadband spectrum by county over the contractual term of approximately 30-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 pdvConnect and TeamConnect service offerings.

pdvConnect is 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 was historically sold directly by the Company or through two Tier 1 domestic carriers.  The service is contracted and billed on a month-to-month basis, and the Company satisfies its performance obligation over time as the services are delivered.  On April 1, 2020, these customers were transferred to the LLC, except for one Tier 1 domestic carrier.  The LLC agreed to pay the Company a certain portion of the recurring revenues from the transferred customers through the term of the agreement.

TeamConnect combines pdvConnect with push-to-talk (“PTT”) mobile communication services involving digital network architecture and mobile devices.  The contract period for the TeamConnect service varies from a 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.

Narrowband 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 wirelessnarrowband spectrum licenses. The payment of the fee is accounted for as deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheetsConsolidated 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 ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $182,000 and 2019 were approximately $183,000 and $547,000,$364,000, respectively for each period.

Contract Assets. The Company recognizes a contract asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. These costs include sales commissions. These costs will beare amortized ratably using the portfolio approach over the estimated customer contract period. The Company will review the contract asset on a periodic basis to determine if an impairment exists. If it is determined that there is an impairment, the contract asset will be expensed.

As of December 31, 2020,For the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred commission and stock compensation costs required to obtain the Amerenits long-term 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum lease agreements amounting to approximately $126,000$127,000, which was capitalized and will be amortized over the contractual term of approximately 30-years.30-years.

5. Intangible Assets (As restated)

Wireless licenses are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization but instead are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event indicates that the asset might be

13


impaired. There were no0 impairment charges related to the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets during the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2020September 30, 2021 and 2019.2020.

During the ninesix months ended December 31, 2020,September 30, 2021, the Company enteredacquired wireless licenses for cash consideration of $8.8 million, after receiving FCC approval, of which $6.8 million was spent on licenses acquired by entering into agreements with several third parties in multiple U.S. markets and $2.0 million was paid to acquire wirelessthe U.S. Treasury for Anti-Windfall payments, i.e. payments to secure the broadband channels to cover any shortfall of channels needed in a given county to reach the requisite 240 channels to be surrendered to secure a broadband license for such county, for 12 U.S. counties. As of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company recorded initial deposits to incumbents amounting to approximately $5.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, that are refundable if the FCC does not approve the sale of the spectrum. Of the $5.4 million initial refundable deposit balance as of September 30, 2021, $4.8 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and the remaining $0.6 million in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of the $2.3 million initial refundable deposit balance as of March 31, 2021, $1.9 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and the remaining $0.5 million in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In August 2021, the Company applied for, and was granted by the FCC, broadband licenses for cash consideration12 counties. The Company recorded the new broadband licenses at their estimated accounting cost basis of $11.6approximately $13.6 million. In connection with receiving the broadband licenses, the Company disposed of $3.4 million after receivingrelated to the value ascribed to the narrowband licenses it relinquished to the FCC approval.

The nation’s railroads, particularly the major freight lines, operate on six narrowband 900 MHz channels licensed to their trade association, the Association of American Railroads (“AAR”).  Threetotal carrying value of these narrowband channels are locatedlicenses included the cost to acquire the original narrowband licenses, Anti-Windfall payments paid to cover the shortfall in each county and the 900 MHz broadband segment created by the FCC in the Report and Order.clearing costs. As a result in order to qualifyof the exchange of narrowband licenses for broadband licenses, under the Report and Order, the Company will be required to provide spectrum for the relocation of the AAR channels to narrowband channels outside the 900 MHz broadband segment.

In January 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the AAR in which it agreed to cancel licenses in the 900 MHz band to enable the AAR to relocate its operations, including operations utilizing the three channels located in the 900 MHz broadband segment (the “AAR Agreement”).  The FCC referenced the AAR agreement in the Report and Order and required the Company to cancel its licenses and return them to the FCC in accordance with the AAR Agreement.  The Report and Order provides that the FCC will make the channels associated with these licenses available to the AAR to enable the AAR to relocate their current operations.  The Report and Order also provides that the FCC will credit the Company for its cancelled licenses for purposes of determining the Company’s eligibility to secure broadband licenses and the calculation of any anti-windfall payments.

In accordance with the Report and Order, the Company cancelled its licenses in the three months ended June 30, 2020.  Because the Company did not receive any licenses nor monetary reimbursement in exchange for the cancellation, but only credit for purposes of determining its future eligibility and payment obligations for broadband licenses under the Report and Order, the Company recorded a $4.7 million loss from disposal of the intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

In August 2020, the Company closed an agreement with a third party for the exchange of 900 MHz licenses plus approximately $0.3 million for the reprogramming of their equipment.  Since the licenses the Company acquired in the exchange were included in the licenses returned to the FCC in accordance with the AAR Agreement above, the $0.3 million for equipment reprogramming was recorded as additional loss from disposal of the intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

In September 2020, the Company closed an agreement with a third party for the exchange of 900 MHz licenses.  Under the agreement, the Company received spectrum licenses at their estimated fair value of approximately $0.2 million and a payment of $1.2 million in cash to clear the channels received from incumbents.  In January 2018, the Company received $0.6 million as a refundable deposit when the agreement was executed in Fiscal 2018 and the Company is entitled to receive the remaining $0.6 million upon receipt of FCC approval and closing of the agreement in September 2020.  Under the agreement, the Company transferred spectrum licenses with book value of approximately $0.3 million to the third party.  The Company recognized a $1.1 million gain fromon disposal of intangible assets inof $10.2 million, for the Consolidated Statementsix months ended September 30, 2021.

9. Income Taxes(As restated)

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law.  The Act contains several new or changed income tax provisions, including but not limited to the following: increased limitation threshold for determining deductible interest expense, class life changes to qualified improvements (in general, from 39 years to 15 years) and the ability to carry backCompany's net operating losses (“NOLs”NOLs’) incurred from tax years 2018 through 2020 up to the five preceding tax years.  Most of these provisions are either not applicable or have no material effect on the Company.  However, the CARES Act changed the language of when NOLs converted from a 20-year life to an indefinite life.  From the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) rule, NOLs in tax periods ending after December 31, 2017 had an indefinite life.  Under the new CARES Act, NOLs generated in periods beginning after December 31, 2017 are carried forward indefinitely.  This dating change effectively disqualified the Company's March 31, 2018 NOL as an indefinite lived asset and source of taxable income to offset the Company's deferred tax liability stemming from indefinite-lived intangibles.  The Company's NOLs generated after March 31, 2018 may continue to be used as an indefinite-lived asset to offset theits deferred tax liability, but limited to 80%80 percent of future taxable income (or the balance of theincome. The deferred tax liabilityliabilities as of March 31, 2020).  The total impact of this date change from the CARES Act increased the Company's netSeptember 30, 2021 are approximately $2.1 million for federal deferred tax liability from approximately $0.2 million to $1.6 million as of March 31, 2020.  The state deferred tax liability of approximatelyand $1.4 million as of March 31, 2020 is unchanged.for state.

Of these federal and state NOLs, approximately $125.3$125.1 million and $92.6$114.4 million respectively, are expiring in various amounts from 20202021 through 2040, to offset future taxable income.2041. The remaining federal and state NOLs of approximately $86.6$141.2 million and $20.1$37.9 million, respectively, have an indefinite life andbut the federal NOLs may only offset 80% of taxable income when used.

The Company used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2020.September 30, 2021. 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 three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2020,September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a total deferred tax expense of $155,000$0.2 million and $311,000,$0.3 million, respectively, due to the inability to use some portion of federal and state NOL carryforwards against the deferred tax liability created by amortization of indefinite-lived intangibles.

We are a wireless communications company focused on commercializing our spectrum assets to enable our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers to deploy private broadband networks, technologies and solutions. 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 May 13, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”)FCC approved athe Report and Order 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 (the “Report and Order”).solutions. The Report and Order was published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2020 and became effective on August 17, 2020. We are now engaged in qualifying for and securing broadband licenses from the FCC, with a focus on pursuing licenses in those counties in which we believe we have near-term commercial opportunities. At the same time, our sales and marketing organizationthe Company is pursuing opportunities to lease the spectrum for which these broadband licenses we secureare secured to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers.

In December 2020, the Company entered into its first long-term 900 MHz broadband spectrum lease agreements (the “Lease Agreements”) covering Ameren Corporation’s (“Ameren”) service territories.  The Lease Agreements will enable Ameren to deploy a private LTE network in its service territories in Missouri and Illinois covering approximately 7.5 million people.  Each Lease Agreement is for a term of up to 40 years, consisting of an initial term of 30 years, with an option to extend for an additional 10-year term for an additional payment.  The scheduled prepayments for the 30-year initial terms of the Lease Agreements total approximately $48 million dollars.  Full prepayment for the 30-year initial terms is due by 2026, with approximately 50% of the total prepayments due by June 2021.  The timing of these payments is subject to the Company’s timely clearing of spectrum and delivery of broadband spectrum licenses.  The Company is proactively clearing incumbents from the 900 MHz broadband segments in Ameren’s service territories and expects to begin delivering the broadband spectrum licenses by county in June 2021.  The Company expects to recognize revenue from the Lease Agreements commencing in fiscal year 2022.  Revenue will be recognized as spectrum is delivered based on straight-line amortization over the initial 30-year terms of the Lease Agreements.  The Lease Agreements are subject to customary approval terms and conditions, including the approval by both companies’ boards of directors and the Company’s ability to secure broadband licenses from the FCC.

Securing Broadband Licenses

In the Report and Order, the FCC reconfigured the 900 MHz land mobile radio band to create a 6 MHz broadband segment (240 channels) and two narrowband segments, consisting of a 3 MHz narrowband segment (120 channels) and a 1 MHz narrowband segment (39 channels).

The Role of the County. Under the Report and Order, the FCC established the “county” as the base unit of measure in determining whether a broadband applicant is eligible to secure a broadband license. There are 3,2233,233 counties in the United States, including Puerto Rico.

Broadband License Eligibility Requirements. The Report and Order establishes three eligibility requirements to obtain broadband licenses in a county, which we refer to herein as (i) the “50% Licensed Spectrum Test,” (ii) the “90% Broadband Segment Test” and (iii) the “240 Channel Requirement.”

1.50% Licensed Spectrum Test. To be eligible for a broadband license in a particular county, we must demonstrate that we hold more than 50% of the outstanding licensed channels in the 900 MHz band in the county. Because the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test is based on licensed channels, any channels that are not licensed by the FCC are not included in the denominator when determining whether we have satisfied this test. The denominator is determined by the number of channels licensed by all licensees with sites in the county and within 20 miles of the county boundary. In some situations, a single channel is licensed by more than one entity, and therefore could be counted more than once. The FCC has licensed less than 399 channels in all but the most populous counties. Only after we satisfy the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test are we permitted to apply for a broadband license. As of the date

24


of this filing, we satisfy the 50% Licensed Spectrum Test in more than 3,100 counties of the 3,2233,233 counties in the United States and its territories.

2.90% Broadband Segment Test. As a condition precedent to the FCC issuing a broadband license, we must satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test by utilizing our channel holdings and negotiating with Covered Incumbents on a purely voluntary basis for any additional channels we require to satisfy this test. This test requires we hold, protect or have agreements with Covered Incumbents

25


for 90% of the licensed channels in the broadband segment in a particular county and within 70 miles of the county’s boundaries. In some situations, a single channel is licensed more than once within the 70 mile radius, and therefore could be counted more than once. The second test,broadband segment in the 900 MHz band has a total of 240 channels. The 90% Broadband Segment Test is calculated using outstanding licensed channels, which means that if the FCC has licensed 240 channels, we will be required to protect, have control of or agreements covering 216 channels within the broadband segment. In many counties in the United States, the FCC has licensed fewer than 240 channels in the broadband segment and these unlicensed channels are not included in the denominator when determining whether we have satisfied this 90% Broadband Segment Test. As of the date of this filing, we satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test in approximately 2000 counties.

Only after we satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test will the FCC issue a broadband license to us. Once the license is issued we can initiate the “Mandatory Retuning” period by notification to the Covered Incumbent. During this Mandatory Retuning period, any Covered Incumbents that remain in the broadband segment (other than Complex Systems) are required to negotiate with us in good faith to clear the broadband segment, subject to intervention by the FCC if the parties cannot reach an agreement.

This 90% Broadband Segment Test addresses the balance between a voluntary market process to clear any Covered Incumbent (i.e., holders of licenses in the broadband segment) and the mandatory relocation process established by the FCC in the Report and Order (which applies to all Covered Incumbents, except for those Covered Incumbents operating “Complex Systems” as described below).  This test requires we hold or have agreements with Covered Incumbents for 90% of the licensed channels in the broadband segment in a particular county and within 70 miles of the county’s boundaries.  The broadband segment in the 900 MHz band has a total of 241 channels.  The 90% Broadband Segment Test is calculated using outstanding licensed channels,Complex Systems, which means that if the FCC defines as a radio system that has licensed 241 channels, we will be required to have control of or agreements covering 217 channels within the broadband segment.  In many counties in the United States, the FCC has licensed fewer than 241 channels in the broadband segment and these unlicensed channels are not included in the denominator when determining whether we have satisfied this 90% Broadband Segment Test.at least 45 integrated sites).

Before filing for a broadband license, we must satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test by utilizing our channel holdings and negotiating with Covered Incumbents on a purely voluntary basis for any additional channels we require to satisfy this test.  Only after we satisfy the 90% Broadband Segment Test will the FCC issue a broadband license to us and commence the “Mandatory Retuning” period.  During this period, any Covered Incumbents that remain in the broadband segment (other than Complex Systems) are required to negotiate with us in good faith to clear the broadband segment, subject to intervention by the FCC if the parties cannot reach an agreement.

3.240 Channel Requirement. The Report and Order requires the broadband applicant to surrender 6 MHz of spectrum (or 240 channels) in a county to receive the broadband license. If we dothe applicant does not have sufficient channels in the county to return 240 channels to the FCC, we willthey must make an “Anti-Windfall Payment” to the U.S. Treasury to secure the broadband license.channels to cover the shortfall of channels needed to reach the requisite 240. The Anti-Windfall Payment for thesethe number of channels below 240 will be based on prices paid in the applicable county in the 600 MHz auction previously conducted by the FCC.

Treatment of Complex Systems. The Report and Order exempts “Complex Systems”Complex Systems from the mandatory retuning process—even if the Broadband applicant meets the 90% Broadband Segment Test.  The FCC defines a Complex System as a radio system that has at least 45 integrated sites. The FCC exempted Complex Systems from the mandatory retuning requirements because retuning these systems would potentially be more disruptive to the operators than retuning the smaller systems operated by other incumbents. Of the small number of systems that qualify for this 45-site exemption, based on our calculation, all but one systemComplex System belongs to utilities that we have identified as our target customers.

The Association of American Railroads. The nation’s railroads, particularly the major freight lines, operate on six narrowband 900 MHz channels licensed to their trade association, the Association of American Railroads (“AAR”). Three of these narrowband channels are located in the 900 MHz broadband segment created by the FCC in the Report and Order. As a result, in order to qualify for broadband licenses under the Report and Order, we are required to provide spectrum for the relocation of the AAR channels to narrowband channels outside the 900 MHz broadband segment.

In January 2020, we entered into an agreement with the AAR in(the “AAR Agreement”), pursuant to which itwe agreed to cancel licenses in the 900 MHz band to enable the AAR to relocate its operations including operations utilizing the three channels located inoutside the 900 MHz broadband segment (the “AAR Agreement”).  The FCC referenced the AAR agreement in the Report and Order and required us to cancel our licenses and return them to the FCC in accordance with the AAR Agreement.segment. The Report and Order provides that the FCC will make the channels associated with these cancelled licenses available to the AAR to enable the AAR to relocate their current operations.AAR. The Report and Order also provides that the FCC will credit us for our cancelled licenses for purposes of determining our eligibility and the calculation of our requirement to pay any anti-windfall paymentsAnti-Windfall Payments to secure broadband licenses.

In accordance with the Report and Order and the AAR Agreement, we cancelled our licenses and recorded a loss on the disposal of intangible assets, in the nine monthsyear ended DecemberMarch 31, 2020.2021.

Costs of Securing Broadband Licenses

As a broadband applicant, we can satisfy the three eligibility requirements discussed above by including our existing licensed channels and by acquiring, protecting or retuning additional channels when necessary through (i) spectrum purchases, (ii) spectrum relocations and/or (iii) Anti-Windfall Payments, or any combination thereof.

1.Channel Acquisition. In 2015, we began acquiring targeted additional channels in various markets in anticipation of the Report and Order. We will continue to employ spectrum acquisition as a tool for those situations where an incumbent desires to exit the 900 MHz band. We may selectively acquire channels outside the 900 MHz broadband segment and use them to swap for channels within the broadband segment. For purposes of broadband license eligibility, any potential acquisitions of 900MHz channels we

25


negotiate will be included as part of our broadband application, but the acquisition does not need to be consummated at the time we submit our license application.

26


2.Retuning Costs. Retuning is the exercise of exchanging, also referred to as swapping, broadband segment channels held by Covered Incumbents and moving them to channels outside of the 900 MHz broadband segment. A retune or swap adds to the number of channels we hold for computational purposes in the 90% Broadband Segment Test. We began retuning or swapping channels with Covered Incumbents in 2015 in anticipation of the Report and Order. We have continued retuning channels with Covered Incumbents since that time.

3.Anti-Windfall Payments. To obtain a 6 MHz broadband license, the broadband applicant must surrender up to 240 licensed channels in the county. As this band has been underutilized historically, most counties in the United States do not have 240 channels licensed. When the broadband applicant does not surrender 240 channels, they will pay for the difference between the spectrum held and the 6 MHz it will be receiving as the broadband licensee by making an Anti-Windfall Payment. As noted above, the FCC will use as a reference the spectrum price based on the average price paid in the FCC’s 600 MHz auction in each given county.

Importantly, the markets where the FCC has channels in inventory and where we may need to make Anti-Windfall Payments to effectively return 240 channels to the FCC are generally in smaller urban, suburban and rural markets. Our spectrum position is greatest in the largest, most populated and therefore most expensive markets, with a few exceptions. Although we will need to make Anti-Windfall Payments to secure broadband licenses in some counties, the cost for the channels, on average, will be lower than the nationwide average amount paid in the FCC’s 600 MHz auction.

When combining our estimated clearing and spectrum acquisition costs with our anticipated Anti-Windfall Payments to the U.S. Treasury, we anticipate the combined total costs of securing broadband licenses from the FCC will range from $130 to $160 million, the significant majority of which we intend to spend byfrom our fiscal year 2021 through the end of fiscal year 2024. We will deploy this capital at our determined pace based on several key ongoing factors, including customer demand, market opportunity and offsetting income from spectrum leases.

Broadband Spectrum Agreements

In December 2020, we entered into our first long-term lease agreement of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum with Ameren. The Ameren Agreements will enable Ameren to deploy a private LTE network in its service territories in Missouri and Illinois, covering approximately 7.5 million people. Each Ameren Agreement is for a term of up to 40 years, consisting of an initial term of 30 years, with a 10-year renewal option for an additional payment. The scheduled prepayments for the 30-year initial terms of the Ameren Agreements total $47.7 million, of which $0.3 million was received by us in February 2021, $5.4 million in September 2021 and $17.2 million in October 2021. The prepayments received to date encompass the initial upfront payment(s) due upon signing of the Ameren Agreements and payments for delivery of the relevant 1.4 x 1.4 cleared spectrum in several metropolitan counties throughout Missouri and Illinois, in accordance with the terms of the Ameren Agreements. The remaining prepayments for the 30-year initial term are due by mid-2026, per the terms of the Ameren Agreements and as we deliver the relevant cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses. We are working with incumbents to clear the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum allocation in Ameren’s service territory. In August 2021, the FCC granted the first 900 MHz broadband licenses to us for several counties in Ameren’s service territory, for which the Ameren Agreements were also subsequently approved by the FCC. We expect to recognize revenue from the Ameren Agreements commencing in the second half of fiscal year 2022. Revenue will be recognized as cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses are delivered based on straight-line amortization over the initial 30-year terms of the Ameren Agreements. Our Board approved the Ameren Agreements on April 23, 2021, and Ameren’s board of directors approved the Ameren Agreements on May 6, 2021.

In February 2021, we entered into an agreement with SDG&E to provide 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum throughout SDG&E’s California service territory, including San Diego and Imperial Counties and portions of Orange County for a total payment of $50.0 million. The SDG&E Agreement will support SDG&E’s deployment of a private LTE network for its California service territory, with a population of approximately 3.6 million people. As part of the SDG&E Agreement, SDG&E and Anterix are collaborating to accelerate the utility industry momentum for private networks. The SDG&E Agreement includes the assignment of 6 MHz of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum, 936.5 – 939.5 MHz paired with 897.5 – 900.5 MHz, within SDG&E’s service territory following the FCC’s issuance of the broadband licenses to us. Delivery of the relevant 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses by county is expected to commence in fiscal year 2023 and is scheduled for completion before the end of fiscal year 2024. The total payment of $50.0 million is comprised of an initial payment of $20.0 million received in February 2021 and the remaining $30.0 million payment, which is due through fiscal year 2024 as we deliver the relevant cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses to SDG&E. We are working with incumbents to clear the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum allocation in the SDG&E’s California service territory. The SDG&E Agreement is subject to customary provisions regarding remedies, including reduced payment amounts and/or refund of amounts paid, and termination rights, if a party fails to perform its contractual obligations. Both SDG&E and Anterix obtained all necessary internal approvals prior to executing the SDG&E Agreement. A gain or loss will be recognized in each county once the cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses are delivered to SDG&E.

27


In September 2021, we entered into a long-term lease agreement of 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum with Evergy. The Evergy service territories covered by the Evergy Agreement are in Kansas and Missouri with a population of approximately 3.9 million people. The Evergy Agreement is for a term of up to 40 years, comprised of an initial term of 20 years with two 10-year renewal options for additional payments. Prepayment in full of the $30.2 million for the 20-year initial term, which was due and payable within thirty (30) days after execution of the Evergy Agreement, was received by us in October 2021. The Evergy Agreement is subject to customary provisions regarding remedies for non-delivery, including refund of amounts paid and termination rights, if we fail to perform our contractual obligations, including failure to deliver the relevant cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum, in accordance with the terms of the Evergy Agreement. We are working with incumbents to clear the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum allocation covered by the Evergy Agreement. Evergy and Anterix obtained all necessary internal approvals prior to executing the Evergy Agreement. We expect to recognize revenue from the Evergy Agreement commencing in the second half of fiscal year 2022. Revenue will be recognized as the relevant 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum is delivered based on straight-line amortization over the initial 20-year term of the Evergy Agreement.

Historical Spectrum Initiatives

We acquired our 900 MHz spectrum and certain related equipment from Sprint in September 2014 for $100 million. While the spectrum we initially purchased can support narrowband and wideband wireless services, the most significant business opportunities we identified requires contiguous spectrum that allows for greater bandwidth than allowed by the current configuration of our spectrum. As a result, since purchasing our 900 MHz spectrum in 2014, we pursued 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. Specifically, in November 2014, we and the Enterprise Wireless Alliance (“EWA”) submitted a Joint Petition for Rulemaking to the FCC to propose a realignment of a portion of the 900 MHz band to create a 6 MHz broadband authorization, while retaining 4 MHz for continued narrowband operations. 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. We and EWA filed a joint response to the FCC’s NOI in October 2017 and reply comments in November 2017.

On March 14, 2019, the FCC unanimously adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the “NPRM”(“NPRM”) that endorsed the Company’s objective of creating a broadband opportunity in the 900 MHz band for critical infrastructure and other enterprise users. In the NPRM, the FCC requested comments from interested parties, including us, on a number of important topics that would impact the timing and costs of obtaining a broadband license. The Company filed comments to the NPRM in June 2019 and reply comments in July 2019.

On May 13, 2020, the FCC approved a Report and Order 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.

The Report and Order was published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2020 and became effective on August 17, 2020.

Historical Business Operations

Historically, we generated revenue principally from our pdvConnect and TeamConnect businesses.  We historically marketed pdvConnect, a mobile communication and workforce management solution, 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

26


metropolitan areas throughout the United States, including Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, New York and Philadelphia.  We 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, we announced our plan to restructure our operations to align and focus our business priorities on our spectrum initiatives.  Consistent with this restructuring plan, we transferred our TeamConnect business and support obligations for our pdvConnect business in December 2018.  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.  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. 

We retained a number of significant obligations under our A BEEP and Goosetown agreements related to the TeamConnect and pdvConnect businesses.  To help ensure the transitioning of the TeamConnect customers, we continued to provide customer care, billing and collection services through April 1, 2019.  We are required to pay all site lease, backhaul and utility costs required to operate the MotoTRBO Systems for a two (2)-year period which ended on January 2, 2021.  By the end of this two-year period, A BEEP and Goosetown are required to migrate their respective customers off of the MotoTRBO Systems.  We are required to continue to pay the cell tower leases for the TeamConnect networks we deployed for the balance of the lease terms.  We also retained customer billing and collection responsibility for the pdvConnect business.

Under the terms of the MOU, we assigned the intellectual property rights to our TeamConnect and pdvConnect related 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, effective April 30, 2019.  The Goosetown Principals have agreed to fund the future operations of the LLC, subject to certain limitations. The LLC assumed our software support and maintenance obligations under the A BEEP and Goosetown Agreements.  The LLC also assumed customer care services related to the pdvConnect service.  We provided transition services to the LLC through April 1, 2019.  We are also obligated to pay the LLC a monthly service fee for a 24-month period ending on January 7, 2021 for its assumption of our support obligations under the A BEEP and Goosetown Agreements.  We are obligated to pay the LLC a certain portion of the billed revenue we received from pdvConnect customers for a 48-month period.  On April 1, 2020, we transferred the pdvConnect customers to the LLC, and the LLC agreed to provide us a portion of the billed revenue they receive from these customers.

In August 2021, we exchanged our narrowband licenses for broadband licenses in 12 counties. In connection with the exchange, we recorded an estimated accounting cost basis of $13.6 million for the new broadband licenses and disposed of $3.4 million related to the value ascribed to the narrowband licenses we relinquished to the FCC for those same 12 counties. As a result, we recorded a $10.2 million gain from disposal of the intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q/A for further discussion on the exchanges.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a total deferred tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, due to the inability to use some portion of federal and state NOL carryforwards against the deferred tax liability created by amortization of indefinite-lived intangibles.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. The new CARES Act modified Section 172(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code to state that net operating loss (“NOL”)NOL arising in a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2018, is carried forward 20 years provided that a carryback claim is not effected.affected.  From this adjusted provision, our March 31, 2018 NOL carryforward changed from an indefinite life to a 20-year life. We used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for

the three and ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2020. We 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 three and ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2020, we recorded a total deferred tax expense of $0.1 million and $0.3$0.2 million, respectively, due to the inability to use some portion of federal and state NOL carryforwards against the deferred tax liability created by amortization of indefinite-lived intangibles.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2020,September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $108.5$100.9 million.

Our accounts receivable are heavily concentrated in one Tier 1 domestic carrier partner. As of December 31, 2020, our net accounts receivable balance was approximately $19,000, of which $17,000, or approximately 89%, was owed by this one Tier 1 domestic carrier.

We are now engaged in qualifying for and securing broadband licenses from the FCC pursuant to the Report and Order. At the same time, our sales and marketing departmentdepartments are pursuing opportunities to lease the broadband licenses we secure to our targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including: the timeline and costs to acquire broadband licenses pursuant to the Report and Order, including the costs to acquire additional spectrum, the costs related to retuning, or swapping spectrum held by, Covered Incumbents and the costs of paying Anti-Windfall paymentsPayments to the U.S. Treasury; costs related to the commercializing of our spectrum assets; and our ability to sign customer contracts and generate revenues from the license or transfer of any broadband licenses we secure; the terms and conditions of any customer contracts, including the timing of payments; the costs associated with expanding our business development, sales and marketing organization, 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 expenses.

On April 3, 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 with the SEC that was declared effective by the SEC on April 20, 2020, which permits us to offer up to $150 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 is intended to provide us with additional flexibility to access capital markets for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, other corporate expenses and acquisitions of complementary products, technologies, or businesses.

We entered into an Amended and Restated Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement and an Amended and Restated Sales Agreement (collectively, the “Sales Agreements”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and B. Riley FBR, Inc., respectively (collectively, the “Agents”), and on April 3, 2020, registered the sale of up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 in shares of our common stock in at the market sales transactions pursuant to the Sales Agreements under the Shelf Registration Statement. Through the date of this filing, we have not sold any shares of our common stock in at the market transactions or any securities 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. As noted above, our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including among others, the costs and timing of securing broadband licenses, including our spectrum retuning activities, spectrum acquisitions and the Anti-Windfall paymentsPayments to the U.S. Treasury, and our operating activities and any revenues we generate through our commercialization activities.  When combining our estimated clearing and spectrum acquisition costs with our anticipated Anti-Windfall payments to the U.S. Treasury to effectively acquire additional spectrum from the FCC’s inventory in markets where we need it, we anticipate the combined total costs to range from $130 to $160 million, the significant majority of which we intend to spend over through the end of fiscal year 2024. We will deploy this capital at our determined pace based on several key ongoing factors, including customer demand, market opportunity, and offsetting income from spectrum leases. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our targeted customers, the potential negative financial impact to our results of operations and financial condition cannot be reasonably estimated. We are actively managing the business to maintain our cash flow and believe that we currently have adequate liquidity. To implement our business plans and initiatives, however, we may need to raise additional capital. We cannot predict with certainty the exact amount or timing for any future capital raises. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q10-Q/A for a reference to the 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. If required, we intend to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, including pursuant to our Shelf Registration Statement, or through some other financing arrangement. However, we cannot be sure that additional financing will be available if and when needed, or that, if available, we can obtain financing on terms favorable to our stockholders and to us. Any failure to obtain financing when required will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

Share Repurchase Program

On September 29, 2021, our Board authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock on or before September 29, 2023. The manner, timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company based on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions and alternative investment opportunities. The share repurchase program authorization does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. Under the program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We currently anticipate the cash used for the share repurchase program will come primarily from our prepaid customer agreements.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of December 31, 2020September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2020,2021, 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures(As restated)

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our President and 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 report.report at the time we filed our Original Report with the SEC on November 3, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period.

Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with the Original Filing, our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, reassessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures in connection with the restatement described in Note 2 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q/A. Based on this reassessment, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021 because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which existed at that date and is discussed below.

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.

Material Weakness and Remediation

Subsequent to filing the Original Filing, an error was discovered related to our interpretation and application of the accounting for our intangible assets following the non-monetary exchange of our narrowband licenses for broadband licenses. This error, which was not detected timely by management, was the result of an inadequate design of controls pertaining to the identification, review, analysis and recording of transactions involving our intangible assets, more specifically, non-monetary exchanges of our narrowband licenses for broadband licenses. The deficiency represents a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Management has taken steps and is actively engaged in taking additional steps to remediate the material weakness. The remediation plan includes the implementation of new controls designed to identify, review and analyze transactions involving the value of our intangible assets in a timely manner, such as:

(i)conduct more frequent meetings to inquire about license exchanges and automated system notifications to identify new transactions;

(ii)review applicable inputs regarding the accounting cost basis of broadband licenses and the carrying value of the narrowband licenses with internal experts as the exchanges occur; and

(iii) analyze inputs to calculate and timely record gain or loss in accordance with all the relevant authoritative accounting guidance.

Management believes the measures described above and others that may be implemented will remediate the material weakness identified. As management continues to evaluate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures identified. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our President and 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

34


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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors. (As restated)

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-Q10-Q/A as well as the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report and on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 28, 2020 (the “Annual Report”).  Except for the additional risk factor below related to the lease agreements (the “Lease Agreements”) the Company entered into covering Ameren Corporation’s (“Ameren’s”) service territories, thereour Original Filing. There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report.Report and our Original Filing, except as noted below. Any of the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in10-Q/A, our Annual Report and our Original Filing, 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.

If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately determine our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial results, which would materially and adversely affect our value and our ability to raise any required capital in the future.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We discovered in the past and may discover in the future areas of our internal controls that need improvement or additional documentation. For example, in connection with preparing our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we determined that we incorrectly interpreted the effective date of a change in the accounting treatment of our NOLs in accordance with the new tax law provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This error was the result of an inadequate design of controls pertaining to our review and analysis of changing tax legislation, which represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls. As a result, we filed restated financial statements for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2017 and for the year ended March 31, 2018. In addition, in preparing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, we 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, 2020, we had remediated both of these material weaknesses. Additionally, in connection with preparing our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, we determined that our controls and procedures were not effective as the result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the identification, review, analysis and recording of transactions involving our intangible assets, more specifically, non-monetary exchanges of our narrowband licenses for broadband licenses. Management has taken steps and is actively engaged in taking additional steps to remediate the material weakness. The Company’s Lease Agreements covering Ameren’s service territories are subjectremediation plan includes the implementation of new controls designed to contingencies, including approval by Ameren’s Boardidentify, review and analyze transactions involving the value of Directors,our intangible assets in a timely manner, such as: (i) conduct more frequent meetings to inquire about license exchanges and obligations byautomated system notifications to identify new transactions; (ii) review applicable inputs regarding the Company, including the deliveryaccounting cost basis of cleared spectrum and broadband licenses and the carrying value of the narrowband licenses with internal experts as the exchanges occur; and (iii) analyze inputs to calculate and timely record gain or loss in Ameren’s service territories,accordance with all the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. As management continues to evaluate and asimprove our internal control over financial reporting, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures identified. This material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a result, there is no assurancesufficient period of time and management has concluded through testing, that the Companythese controls are operating effectively.

We cannot be certain that we will receive payments from Amerenbe successful in implementing or maintaining effective internal controls for all financial periods. As we grow our business, our internal controls will become more complex, and we will require significantly more resources to ensure our internal controls remain effective. The existence of any material weakness or significant deficiency in the amountsfuture may require management to devote significant time and on the timeline expected by the Company,incur significant expense to remediate any such material weaknesses or at all.

In December 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into long-term Lease Agreements for 900 MHz broadband spectrum licenses covering Ameren’s service territoriessignificant deficiencies and management may not be able to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in Missouri and Illinois.  The Lease Agreements are subject to contingencies, including the approval of the Lease Agreements by Ameren’s Board of Directors.a timely manner. In addition, the Company is requiredexistence of any material weakness in our internal controls could also result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to clear incumbents from the 900 MHz segment in Ameren’s service territories and apply for and obtain broadband licenses from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) in these service territories. There is no assurance that Ameren’s Board of Directors will approve the Lease Agreements.  Further, there is no assurance that the Company will be ablerestate our financial statements, cause us to clear incumbents from Ameren’s service territories and obtain broadband licenses from the FCC on the timeline required under the Lease Agreements, or at all.  Ameren’s obligations under the Lease Agreements, including its paymentfail to meet our reporting obligations and the timingcause stockholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely affect our value and our ability to raise any payments to the Company, are contingent on the Company delivering cleared spectrum and broadband spectrum licenses on a timely basis and for a required portion of Ameren’s service territories.  As a result, there is no assurance that the Company will receive payments from Amerencapital in the amounts and on the timeline expected by the Company, or at all.  Moreover, Ameren may not elect to exercise its option for the additional 10-year terms under the Lease Agreements, which will reduce the overall valuefuture.
