Trends and Uncertainties
Current Economic Conditions
The majority of our users and employees are located outside of the United States exposing us to a range of economic factors and regulations including foreign exchange fluctuations. There is uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic factors in the U.S. and globally. We believe these macroeconomic conditions coupled with the global political climate and unrest, including the ongoing wars between Ukraine and Russia, the war being waged against Iran by Israel and the United States, and the ongoing conflicts between Israel and the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria, may negatively impact our performance.
The Israel-Hamas and Israel-Hezbollah Conflicts
Given our operations in Israel, the impact of economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions in the region directly affects us, including conflicts involving missile strikes, infiltrations, and terrorism. Notably, on October 7, 2023, Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, launched a savage terror attack in Israel, along with launching thousands of rockets into Israeli sovereign territory. The State of Israel responded by attacking Hamas in Gaza resulting in the mobilization of more than 450,000 army reservists. In addition, Hezbollah, another designated terrorist organization, based in Lebanon, was indiscriminately shelling Israeli territory, and the Houthi rebels based in Yemen also launched ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones at Israel.
In June of 2025, Israel and Iran engaged in the '12-Day War' during which Israel and the Unites States launched strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, assassinating key leaders and scientists, prompting Iranian retaliation with hundreds of missiles on Israeli cities; offices and schools were closed amid shelter-in-place orders, and the constant barrage of ballistic missiles launched from Iran and Yemen severely interrupted our operations. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended that direct clash on June 24, 2025, but tensions persisted as Iran rebuilt its missile stocks and nuclear capabilities, raising fears of renewed confrontation. Compounding these threats, since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, Israel has conducted airstrikes and ground incursions in Syria to neutralize remaining Iranian-linked militias, secure the border, and protect the Druze minority amid sectarian clashes. The Gaza ceasefire under the U.S.-backed framework, reached following the release of all remaining living Israeli hostages, has held broadly, though it remains fragile.
On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched a joint military campaign against Iran, with the stated objectives of eliminating Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The strikes killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and numerous senior IRGC and government officials. Iran has responded with sustained waves of ballistic missiles and drone attacks against Israel, U.S. military installations across the region, and Gulf states.
The November 2024 Israel-Lebanon ceasefire collapsed when Hezbollah launched a fresh barrage of rockets and missiles into Israel following the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Israel responded with intensive strikes on Beirut and southern Lebanon and has authorized a ground incursion in southern Lebanon; the Lebanese government has proscribed Hezbollah's military activities and ordered the expulsion of Iranian IRGC personnel from Lebanese territory, though implementation remains uncertain.
Our Israel office and schools have been closed under shelter-in-place orders, and the ongoing bombardment has materially interrupted our operations. As of the date of this filing, active combat operations continue and no ceasefire is in place. The duration, scale, and outcome of this conflict remain highly uncertain, and the risk of further escalation across the region is significant.
The foregoing conflicts have led to repeated IDF reservist mobilizations, affecting our workforce. The cumulative effect of these conflicts, combined with broader regional instability, risks impacting foreign investment, currency fluctuations, credit ratings, interest rates, oil prices, and security markets. Furthermore, regional political unrest and threats from extremist groups, notably Iran and its proxies, pose additional risks. The Houthis, while having reduced commercial shipping attacks since a May 2025 ceasefire with the U.S., continue to threaten Israeli and U.S. targets and may escalate in conjunction with Iran's ongoing retaliation campaign. Management and our Board of Directors are closely monitoring the situation in Israel to address potential business disruptions and implications.
AI Technology Trends
A key component of our growth strategy involves the adoption and utilization of AI, which introduces certain risks that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation. We incorporate AI into products such as pAInt and rely on AI for development, content moderation, personalization, marketing assets, finance, legal, user engagement, and other functions across our business, but our ability to compete effectively in AI-driven markets and keep pace with better-resourced competitors remains uncertain. Compliance with evolving AI laws, such as the EU AI Act, may impose significant operational costs. Additionally, in late September 2025, Google released an update to its Search Engine Results Page (SERP) enabling users to copy emojis directly from search results rather than being directed to third-party sites such as Emojipedia, and AI platforms, including ChatGPT and Claude, now return emoji results in response to user queries. These developments could significantly diminish the value of our services and materially and adversely affect our revenue, profitability, and prospects. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $3.7 million to reduce the carrying amount of the Emojipedia assets group to its estimated fair value, please refer to Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Zedge builds digital marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves. Our leading products include Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers, which we refer to as our "Zedge App," a freemium digital content marketplace offering mobile phone wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds as well as pAInt, a generative AI wallpaper and ringtone maker, GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge game, DataSeeds.AI, a B2B offering which offers ethically sourced and fully rights-cleared multimodal - image, video, and audio - datasets that companies use to train AI models, and Emojipedia, the #1 trusted source for 'all things emoji'. Our vision is to enable and connect creators who enjoy friendly competitions with a community of prospective consumers in order to drive commerce.
We are part of the 'Creator Economy,' which is estimated to be worth between $191 billion and $250 billion globally in 2025, with some forecasts placing the global market size as high as $848 billion by 2032123. According to multiple reports, there are now over 207 million active content creators worldwide.45 Furthermore, between 45% and 47% of creators identify as working full-time in this space678. Most creators earn modest incomes, and studies suggest that only a small portion, approximately 4%, of creators earn more than $100,000 per year91011. We view the Creator Economy as an opportunity for Zedge to expand our business, especially as we execute by connecting our gamers with our marketplace.
Our Zedge App (which is named "Zedge Wallpapers" in the App Store) offers a wide array of mobile personalization content including wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds, and is available both in Google Play and the App Store. Over the past two years, our Zedge App has had between 20.4 million and 27.7 million monthly active users ("MAU"), ending with 20.4 million MAU as of January 31, 2026. MAU is a key performance indicator ("KPI") for our Zedge App that captures the number of unique users that used our Zedge App during the final 30 days of the relevant period. Our platform allows creators to upload content to our marketplace and avail it to our users either for free or, via 'Zedge Premium,' the section of our marketplace where we offer premium content for purchase. In turn, our users utilize the content to personalize their phones and express their individuality.
In fiscal 2023, we introduced pAInt, a generative AI wallpaper maker in the Zedge App. A generative AI wallpaper maker is an implementation of artificial intelligence software that can create images from text descriptions. To interface with a generative AI image maker, a user enters a text description of the image they want to create, and the software generates an image based on that description. Today, pAInt is available for text-to-image, image-to-image, and text-to-audio creation. In addition, we upgraded Zedge+, our paid subscription offering by bundling together an ad-free experience with value adds making the offering more compelling.
We often refer to our freemium ringtones and wallpapers, our subscription offering, the functionality for creators to market their products and ancillary offering and features both in our Zedge App and website, as our Zedge Marketplace.
The Zedge Marketplace's monetization stack consists of advertising revenue generated when users view advertisements when using the Zedge App (and the related functionality under the zedge.net website), the in-app sale of Zedge Credits, our virtual currency, that is used to purchase Zedge Premium content, and a paid-subscription offering that provides an ad-free experience to users that purchase a monthly, annual or lifetime subscription. In April 2023, we introduced a subscription tier in the iOS version of the app. As of January 31, 2026, we had approximately 1.2 million active subscribers.
In fiscal 2025, we introduced DataSeeds.AI ("DataSeeds"). DataSeeds offers ethically sourced and fully rights-cleared multimodal - image, video, and audio - datasets that companies use to build and train their AI models. We draw on a large and long-standing creator ecosystem built through GuruShots and the Zedge Marketplace, complemented by an extensive global network of vetted professional photographers, videographers, and domain specialists to create "Made-to-Order" bespoke datasets. This unified sourcing model gives predictable, spec-driven control over subject matter, diversity parameters, environments, and capture conditions. It enables fast, high-volume delivery of custom datasets used to support frontier model training, robust computer vision performance, and grounded generative AI. We also have started assembling a diverse catalog of "Off-the-Shelf" dataset spanning different content types and verticals.
In April 2022, we acquired GuruShots Ltd ("GuruShots") a gamified photography platform that engages a global community of photographers through daily challenges, real-time feedback, and a competitive, interactive experience.

GuruShots offers a platform spanning iOS, Android, and the web that provides a fun, educational and structured way for amateur photographers to compete in a wide variety of contests showcasing their photos while gaining recognition with votes, badges, and awards. We estimate that the total addressable market of amateur photographers using their smartphones to take and publicly share artistic photos is 30-40 million people per month and that the market is still in its infancy. Every month, GuruShots stages more than 300 competitions that result in players uploading in excess of 463,000 photographs and casting close to 2.7 billion "perceived votes," which are calculated by multiplying the number of votes that each player casts by a weighting factor based on various factors related to that user. To improve engagement, GuruShots has adopted a set of retention dynamics focused on individual, team and community dynamics that create a sense of belonging, inspiration, recognition, improvement, and competition.
GuruShots utilizes a 'Free-to-Play' business model and generates revenue through in-app purchases of virtual currency. Players can use this currency to unlock competitions or gain an edge by purchasing resources and participating in additional gameplay. Over the past nine years, the monthly average paying player spend has increased in excess of 6.4% annually to more than $44.4 per player.
In fiscal 2024, we revamped GuruShots' customer onboarding experience by guiding new players through simplified photo competitions of limited size and duration. The upgrade was designed to enhance the gaming experience for new players by increasing their potential for winning and providing immediate gratification. The new onboarding has shown improvements in engagement, retention, and revenue from new users. In addition, we migrated to a coin-based economy with multiple currencies in order to enable more players to earn and spend their currency on in-game resources.
Since the acquisition, GuruShots has faced challenges in growth and profitability, and its revenue has declined. We have cut costs at GuruShots, including as part of the restructuring implemented in January 2025, and have materially scaled back on paid user acquisition (PUA) for the unit. In parallel, we are developing a plan, referred to as GuruShots 2.0, to revamp GuruShots' offering in order to put it on a growth trajectory and unlock the potential value of this asset. Our strategy focuses on attracting new users and converting them into recurring, paying players. To date, we have introduced a fun and comprehensive onboarding experience to draw new users into the gameplay with ease and migrated to a coin-based in-game economy to enable more opportunities to reward and monetize players
Historically, we marketed GuruShots to prospective players primarily via PUA channels including Google, Meta, TikTok and other platforms, utilizing a variety of advertising media, formats, such as static and video ads. As part of the GuruShots 2.0 development plan, we have significantly reduced PUA investment for GuruShots to improve Return-on-Ad-Spend (ROAS) and intend to continue managing PUA spend in the current timeframe.
As set forth above, we believe that the extensive library of photographs generated by GuruShots players through submissions to GuruShots' competitions represents a valuable dataset for our DataSeeds offering. To date, we have secured rights to license a portion of this library for various applications, including AI training, and we continue to expand the licensable catalog by securing rights to additional photographs.
Emojipedia Pty Ltd ("Emojipedia") is the world's leading authority dedicated to providing up-to-date and well-researched emoji definitions, information, and news, as well as World Emoji Day and the annual World Emoji Awards. In January 2026, Emojipedia received approximately 40.7 million monthly page views and has approximately 6.7 million monthly active users as of January 31, 2026 of which approximately 40.9% are located in well-developed markets. It is the top resource for all things emoji, offering insights into data and cultural trends. In the past year, we have implemented multiple changes to Emojipedia including an AI-powered emoji sticker generator tool as well as an extensive emoji sticker library.
In late September 2025, Google released an update to its Search Engine Results Page (SERP) enabling users to copy emojis directly from search results rather than being directed to third-party sites such as Emojipedia. In addition, AI platforms, including ChatGPT and Claude, now return emoji results in response to user queries. While it is too early to accurately quantify the impact of these changes on Emojipedia' s monthly active users (MAU), we believe they are likely to result in reduced traffic and adversely affect revenue. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.7 million for the quarterly results ended January 31, 2026.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management's most subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our critical accounting policies include those related to revenue recognition, intangible assets-net, goodwill, capitalized software and technology development costs, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Zedge App-MAU and ARPMAU
The presentation of our results of operations related to our Zedge App includes disclosure of two key performance indicators - Monthly Active Users (MAU) and Average Revenue Per Monthly Active User (ARPMAU). MAU is a key performance indicator that we define as the number of unique users that used our Zedge App during the previous 30-day period, which is important to understanding the size of our active user base which is a main driver of our revenue. Changes and trends in MAU are useful for measuring the general health of our business, gauging both present and potential users/customers' experience, assessing the efficacy of product improvements and marketing campaigns and overall user engagement.
ARPMAU is defined as (i) the total revenue derived from Zedge App in a monthly period, divided by (ii) MAU in that same period. ARPMAU for a particular time period longer than one month is the average ARPMAU for each month during that period. ARPMAU is valuable because it provides insight into how well we monetize our users and, changes and trends in ARPMAU are indications of how effective our monetization investments are.
MAU decreased 17.4% in the three months ended January 31, 2026 when compared to the same period a year ago. As of January 31, 2026, users in emerging markets represented about 76.5% of our MAU, as compared to 77.3% from the same period a year ago.
ARPMAU for the three months ended January 31, 2026 increased 47.5% when compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to the increase in price per advertising impression from the same period a year ago, which was driven by increased competition for our ad inventory as well as strong year-over-year subscription revenue growth. Subscription revenue and subscription billings for the three months ended January 31, 2026 increased 32.5% and 2.0%, respectively, when compared to the same period a year ago, as discussed below.
The following tables present the MAU - Zedge App and ARPMAU - Zedge App for the three months ended January 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year:

GuruShots-MAPs and ARPMAP
The presentation of our results of operations related to our GuruShots segment includes disclosure of two key performance indicators - Monthly Active Payers (MAP) and Average Revenue Per Monthly Active Payer (ARPMAP) as discussed below:
Monthly Active Payers ("MAPs"). We define a MAP as a unique active user on the GuruShots app or GuruShots.com in a month who completed at least one in-app purchase ("IAP") during that time period. MAPs for a time period longer than one month are the average MAPs for each month during that period. We estimate the number of MAPs by aggregating certain data from third-party attribution platforms. MAP is a key performance indicator because it shows the size of GuruShots' active paying user base which is a main driver of GuruShots' revenue. Changes and trends in MAP are useful for measuring the general health of GuruShots' business, gauging both present and potential users/customers' experience, assessing the efficacy of product improvements and marketing campaigns and overall user engagement.
Average Revenue Per Monthly Active Payer ("ARPMAP"). We define ARPMAP as (i) the total revenue from IAPs derived from GuruShots and GuruShots.com in a monthly period, divided by (ii) MAPs in that same period. ARPMAP for a particular time period longer than one month is the average ARPMAP for each month during that period. ARPMAP shows how efficiently we are monetizing each MAP.
MAP decreased 43.1% in the three months ended January 31, 2026 when compared to the same period a year ago, primarily attributable to Apple's App Tracking Transparence ("ATT") framework which impedes our ability to invest in paid user acquisition ("PUA") campaigns profitably in terms of return on ad spend or ("ROAS"). As such, we continued to scale back our PUA spend for GuruShots while testing new campaigns and creatives in order to unearth attractive ROAS scaling opportunities. ARPMAP increased 25.6% to $50.0 in the three months ended January 31, 2026 from $39.8 in the three months ended January 31, 2025.
The following table shows our MAP and ARPMAP for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025.

The following charts present the MAP and ARPMAP - GuruShots for the consecutive eight quarters ended January 31, 2026:
Our KPIs related to GuruShots are not based on any standardized industry methodology and are not necessarily calculated in the same manner that other companies or third parties may use to calculate these or similarly titled measures. The numbers that we use to calculate MAP and ARPMAP are derived from data that we generate internally. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable judgments and estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage and engagement. We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy.

Our measure of subscription billings is a non-GAAP measure. The following table presents a reconciliation of subscription billings to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, for each of the periods indicated. We calculate subscription billings by adding the change in subscription deferred revenue between the start and end of the period to subscription revenue recognized in the same period. Subscription billings is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors as it allows us to better track the growth of the subscription-based portion of our business, which is a critical part of our business plan.

Three Months Ended January 31, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended January 31, 2025
SG&A decreased 6.2% for the three months ended January 31, 2026, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower PUA and reduced net personnel-related expenses following the global restructuring initiated in January 2025 as well as the expiration of the $8 million retention bonus program related to the GuruShots acquisition. These cost savings were partially offset by the strengthening of the EUR and ILS against the USD, merit-based compensation increases, and certain one-time severance payments.
For the three months ended January 31, 2026, we modestly reduced PUA spending for the Zedge App and significantly reduced PUA spending for GuruShots compared to the prior-year period. Combined PUA spending decreased 17.6% to $1.6 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, from $2.0 million in the prior-year period. We expect to continue investing in PUA for the Zedge App in the near term, subject to maintaining attractive return on ad spend ("ROAS").
As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 81.0% for the three months ended January 31, 2026, compared to 102.1% for the same period in the prior year.
Six Months Ended January 31, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended January 31, 2025

These cost savings were partially offset by the strengthening of the EUR and ILS against the USD, merit-based compensation increases, and certain one-time severance payments.
For the six months ended January 31, 2026, PUA spending for the Zedge App were relatively flat and we significantly reduced PUA spending for GuruShots, compared to the prior-year period. Combined PUA spending decreased 11.6% to $3.3 million for the six months ended January 31, 2026, from $3.8 million in the prior-year period.
As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 79.4% for the three months ended January 31, 2026, compared to 98.3% for the same period in the prior year.

As a result of the global restructuring initiated in January 2025, which included the closure of the Company's Norway operations, we no longer have exposure to USD/NOK foreign exchange risk. Accordingly, there were no outstanding NOK forward contracts as of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025. We have also concluded that there is no current requirement to enter into USD/EUR forward contracts beyond August 2025. As a result, there were no outstanding EUR forward contracts as of January 31, 2026. Therefore, there was no MTM adjustment as of January 31, 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At January 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $19.1 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $15.3 million, compared to $18.6 million and $14.7 million, respectively, at July 31, 2025. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on hand and our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the twelve-month period ending March 16, 2027. We maintain a revolving credit facility of $4 million, including a foreign exchange contract facility of up to $7.5 million with WAB, as discussed below under Financing Activities and in Note 10, Revolving Credit Facility, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Activities
Our cash flow from operations can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, particularly those related to trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million for the six months ended January 31, 2026. This amount primarily reflects a net loss of $1.5 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $4.4 million, including $0.4 million of amortization and depreciation, $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, and $3.7 million of impairment charges. These adjustments were partially offset by a $1.2 million net decrease resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities, driven primarily by a $0.6 million increase in accounts receivable from a large customer, $0.4 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily attributable to the current tax provision related to the impairment charges and a $0.8 million decrease in accrued expenses related to payroll and board compensation, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in deferred revenue associated with lifetime subscriptions sold during the period.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 million for the six months ended January 31, 2025. This amount primarily reflects a net loss of $2.0 million, adjusted for $2.3 million of non-cash items, including $0.7 million of amortization and depreciation, $1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, and $0.6 million of net-of-tax impairment charges related to capitalized software and technology development costs. These adjustments were further augmented by a $1.6 million net decrease resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities, driven primarily by a $0.5 million increase in accrued expenses related to restructuring charges and a $1.2 million increase in deferred revenue associated with lifetime subscriptions sold during the period.
Changes in Trade Accounts Receivable
Gross trade accounts receivable increased $0.6 million to $3.8 million at January 31, 2026 from $3.2 million at July 31, 2025, primarily due to higher revenue generated from one large customer plus initial revenue contribution from DataSeeds in the three months period ended January 31, 2026 when compared to the three months period ended July 31, 2025.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities in the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 consisted primarily of capitalized software and technology development costs related to various projects that we invested in specific to the various platforms on which we operate our service.
Financing Activities
In the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, we repurchased - under our Board-approved share repurchase program - 248,948 shares and 464,419 shares, respectively, of our Class B common stock for approximately $811,000 and $1,472,000 respectively.
In the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, we repurchased 4,312 shares and 6,903 shares from certain employees respectively, of our Class B common stock for $13,000 and $22,000, respectively, to administratively facilitate the withholding and subsequent remittance of personal income and payroll taxes in connection with the vesting of DSUs.
Under the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in 2022, the excise tax on stock repurchases was approximately $44,000 and $8,000 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025 and 2023. There was no excise tax due for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 due to the de minimis exception threshold.
On October 14, 2025, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.016 per share, aggregating approximately $208,000 which was paid on November 7, 2025, to stockholders of record as of October 24, 2025.
On January 14, 2026, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.016 per share, aggregating approximately $209,000. The dividend was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities (see Note 6) as of January 31, 2026, and was paid on February 10, 2026, to stockholders of record as of January 30, 2026. as more fully described in Note 14, Shareholder Distributions and Earnings and Profits (E&P), to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Historically, we have had very little or no bad debt, which is common with other platforms of our size that derive their revenue from mobile advertising, as we aggressively manage our collections and perform due diligence on our customers. In addition, the majority of our revenue is derived from large, credit-worthy customers, e.g. Google, Facebook, Vungle and AppLovin, and we terminate our services with smaller customers immediately upon balances becoming past due. Since these smaller customers rely on us to derive their own revenue, they generally pay their outstanding balances on a timely basis.
In the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, we had only one large customer who represented 34% and 31% of our revenue respectively. At January 31, 2026, two customers represented 33% and 19% of our accounts receivable balance, respectively. At July 31, 2025, two customers represented 48% and 13% of our accounts receivable balance, respectively. All of these significant customers were advertising exchanges operated by leading companies, and the receivables represent many smaller amounts due from their advertisers.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At January 31, 2026, we did not have any "off-balance sheet arrangements," as defined in relevant SEC regulations that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
