NOTES TO COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited combined and consolidated financial statements of Straight Path Communications Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Straight Path”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2014. The balance sheet at July 31, 2013 has been derived from Straight Path’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the combined and consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Straight Path’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
 
Straight Path was incorporated in April 2013. Straight Path’s businesses consist of 100% ownership of Straight Path Spectrum, Inc. (“Straight Path Spectrum”), which holds, leases and markets fixed wireless spectrum licenses, and 84.5% ownership of Straight Path IP Group, Inc. (“Straight Path IP”), which holds intellectual property primarily related to communications over the Internet and the licensing and other businesses related to this intellectual property. The “Company” in these financial statements refers to Straight Path, Straight Path Spectrum, and Straight Path IP on a combined and consolidated basis as if Straight Path existed and owned the above interests in these entities in all periods presented.
 
The Company was formerly a subsidiary of IDT Corporation (“IDT”). On July 31, 2013, the Company was spun-off by IDT to its stockholders and became an independent public company (the “Spin-Off”). The Company authorized the issuance of two classes of its common stock, Class A and Class B. The Spin-Off of the Company occurred by way of a pro rata distribution of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by IDT to IDT’s stockholders. On the distribution date, each IDT stockholder received one share of the Company’s Class A common stock for every two shares of IDT Class A common stock and one share of the Company’s Class B common stock for every two shares of IDT Class B common stock held on the record date for the Spin-Off. On July 31, 2013, the Company distributed 0.8 million shares of its Class A common stock (based on 1.6 million shares of IDT Class A common stock that were outstanding on the record date) and 10.7 million shares of its Class B common stock (based on 21.4 million shares of IDT Class B common stock that were outstanding on the record date).
 
The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2014 refers to the fiscal year ending July 31, 2014).
 
Note 2—Fair Value Measurements
 
At January 31, 2014, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
At January 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of the financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accrued expenses and due to IDT Corporation approximated fair value because of the short period of time to maturity. The fair value estimates for cash and cash equivalents were classified as Level 1 and other current assets, accrued expenses and due to IDT Corporation were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments was determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting this data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

In the Spin-Off, each holder of an option to purchase IDT Class B common stock received a ratable share in a pool of options to purchase 32,155 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (which was based on 10% of the outstanding options to purchase 641,567 shares of IDT Class B common stock issued by IDT and the 1 for 2 distribution ratio of the Spin-Off). The exercise price of the Company’s options is $5.67 per share, which is equal to the closing price of the Company’s Class B common stock on the first trading day following the consummation of the Spin-Off. The expiration date of the Company’s options is equal to the later of (i) the expiration of the IDT option held by such option holder and (ii) a date on or about the first anniversary of the Spin-Off when the Company’s insiders will be free to trade in shares of the Company under the Company’s insider trading policy. The options to purchase shares of the Company were issued under the Company’s 2013 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The issuance of the 32,155 options to purchase the Company’s shares was accounted for as a modification. No incremental charge was required as a result of the modification.
 
On August 2, 2013, the Company granted its non-employee directors an aggregate of 3,750 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock with an aggregate fair value on the date of grant of $21,263. These shares vested immediately upon grant. In addition, on August 2, 2013, the Company granted Davidi Jonas, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, 229,608 restricted shares of Class B common stock, and Jonathan Rand, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, 38,268 restricted shares of Class B common stock. Both grants of restricted shares vest as to one-third of the granted shares on each of August 2, 2014, 2015 and 2016, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The aggregate grant date fair value of these grants was $1.5 million, which will be charged to expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period.
 
On August 6, 2013, the Company granted various consultants an aggregate of 10,100 restricted shares of its Class B common stock. These restricted shares will vest as to one-third of the granted shares in each of August 2014, 2015 and 2016, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The aggregate grant date fair value of the grant was $0.1 million, which is being charged to expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period.
 
In January 2014, the Company granted its non-employee directors an aggregate of 24,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock with an aggregate fair value on the date of grant of $0.2 million. These shares vested immediately upon grant.
 
Note 4—Loss Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture and to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is anti-dilutive.
 
The following shares were excluded from the diluted loss per share computations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share
    504       1,002       504       1,002  
 
For the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share because the Company had a net loss and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and assumed vesting of restricted stock would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 5—Related Party Transactions
 
In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company and IDT entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement and a Tax Separation Agreement to complete the separation of the Company’s businesses from IDT and to distribute the Company’s common stock to IDT’s stockholders. These agreements govern the relationship between the Company and IDT after the distribution and provide for the allocation of employee benefits, taxes and other liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to the distribution. These agreements reflect terms between affiliated parties established without arms-length negotiation. The Company believes that the terms of these agreements equitably reflect the benefits and costs of the Company’s ongoing relationships with IDT.
 
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company has indemnified IDT and IDT has indemnified the Company for losses related to the failure of the other to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, any of the liabilities and obligations set forth in the agreement. The Separation and Distribution Agreement includes, among other things, that IDT is obligated to reimburse the Company for the payment of any liabilities of the Company arising or related to the period prior to the Spin-Off. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, IDT paid nil and $0.1 million, respectively, pursuant to this obligation, which was recorded as “Income from IDT Corporation payments of liabilities” in the combined and consolidated statement of operations.
 
The Company also entered into a Transition Services Agreement, pursuant to which IDT will continue to provide certain services, including, but not limited to information and technology, human resources, payroll, tax, accounts payable, purchasing, treasury, financial systems, investor relations, legal, corporate accounting, internal audit, and facilities for an agreed period following the Spin-Off.
 
Prior to the Spin-Off, IDT charged the Company for certain transactions and allocated routine expenses based on company specific items. Specifically, IDT allocated payroll, benefits, insurance, facilities and other expenses to the Company, which were included in “Selling, general and administrative” expense in the combined and consolidated statements of operations. In addition, both prior to and subsequent to the Spin-Off, IDT charged the Company for regulatory fees, connectivity charges and legal expenses, which was included in “Direct cost of revenues” in the combined and consolidated statements of operations.
 
Following are the amounts that IDT charged the Company pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement or through intercompany charges for periods prior to the Spin-Off:

Gain on Sale of Rights in Wireless Spectrum
 
In March and April 2012, Straight Path Spectrum closed on the sale of rights in wireless spectrum partitioned and/or disaggregated from eight of its spectrum licenses covering metropolitan areas from its nationwide portfolio. In fiscal 2012, Straight Path Spectrum received cash of $6.8 million in exchange for the rights in the spectrum and recorded a gain of $5.3 million. In fiscal 2013, Straight Path Spectrum settled certain claims made by the Former Chief Executive Officer of Straight Path Spectrum (the “Former SPSI CEO”) and parties related to the Former SPSI CEO in connection with the March and April 2012 sale of rights in wireless spectrum. In the three months ended January 31, 2013, the Company reversed accrued amounts due to the settlement of the claims and recorded a gain of $0.2 million that was included in “Gain on sale of rights in wireless spectrum” in the combined and consolidated statement of operations.
 
Note 7—Business Segment Information
 
The Company has two reportable business segments, Straight Path Spectrum, which holds, leases and markets fixed wireless spectrum, and Straight Path IP, which holds intellectual property primarily related to communications over the Internet and the licensing and other businesses related to this intellectual property.
 
The Company’s reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers and methods used to provide their services. The operating results of these business segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.
 
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Company as a whole. The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations. There are no significant asymmetrical allocations to segments.

On December 11, 2012, Straight Path IP filed a demand for arbitration seeking a declaration that the former Chief Executive Officer of Straight Path IP (the “Former SPIP CEO”)’s employment was properly terminated for cause and that the Former SPIP CEO is not entitled to severance or certain equity rights under his employment agreement. On March 15, 2013, the Former SPIP CEO filed a response and counterclaims alleging breach of contract and seeking various forms of relief. Specifically, he is seeking certain declarations related to the termination of his employment, and he is seeking certain payments, including in respect of options to purchase common stock representing 5% of the outstanding common stock of Straight Path IP, damages for unpaid compensation and severance, a sum in excess of $35 million in compensatory damages, and punitive damages in an unspecified amount. In a recent filing with respect to the arbitration proceeding, the Form SPIP CEO announced his intent to present evidence of a valuation of $5 billion for Straight Path IP, along with his assertion that the market value of Straight Path IP is/was not a fair representation of his damages related to his alleged equity rights. The parties have selected an arbitrator, commenced discovery, and set a case management schedule. The Company does not believe that the Former SPIP CEO’s counterclaims have merit, and is vigorously seeking to enforce its rights, prevail on its claims, and defend against the defendant’s counterclaims. At the current time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate its likely exposure in this matter. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement related to the Spin-Off, IDT is responsible for the costs of the arbitration and will indemnify the Company for liability other than for issuance of equity to the Former SPIP CEO.
 
On April 11, 2013, Sipnet EU S.R.O., a Czech company, (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for an inter partes review at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) for certain claims of U.S. Patent 6,108,704 (“the ’704 Patent”). On October 11, 2013, the USPTO partially granted the request and instituted an inter partes review. On January 30, 2014, Straight Path IP filed a Patent Owner’s Response, and oral argument is set for July 11, 2014. Straight Path IP intends to vigorously defend the claims of the ’704 Patent. Although Straight Path IP believes that its patents are valid, they may be deemed invalid during the inter partes review.
 
On August 1, 2013, Straight Path IP filed complaints in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against Bandwidth.com, Inc., Telesphere Networks Ltd., and Vocalocity, Inc. claiming infringement of two of its patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,701,365 and 6,513,066). Straight Path IP seeks both damages and injunctive relief from the defendants. In January 2014, Straight Path IP entered into a confidential settlement and patent license agreement with Bandwidth.com, Inc. Discovery has concluded and the defendants, Telesphere and Vocalocity, have filed motions for summary judgment. On February 26, 2014, the Court issued a Markman ruling, which Straight Path IP believes is favorable to its claims. Trial is currently set for June 23, 2014, although the defendants have filed a motion to sever the trials, which may potentially require an additional trial.
 
On August 1, 2013, Straight Path IP filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) to institute an investigation against respondents AmTran Logistics, Inc., AmTran Technology Co., Ltd., LG Electronics, Inc., LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc., Panasonic Corporation, Panasonic Corporation of North America, Sharp Corporation, Sharp Electronics Corporation, Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc., Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC, Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc., Sony Corporation, Sony Corporation of America, Sony Electronics, Inc., Sony Mobile Communications AB, Sony Mobile Communications (USA) Inc., Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications (USA) Inc., Toshiba Corporation, Toshiba America Inc., Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., and Vizio, Inc. Straight Path IP alleges that the respondents infringe three of its patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,108,704, 6,009,469, and 6,131,121). Straight Path IP seeks to exclude the allegedly infringing products from importation into the United States. On September 4, 2013, the ITC instituted the investigation. Discovery is ongoing. The Hearing is set for May 13-20, 2014 with an Initial Determination Date of September 9, 2014 and a Target Date of January 9, 2015. In January 2014, Straight Path IP, Sharp Corporation, and Sharp Electronics Corporation jointly filed a motion in the ITC to terminate the investigation, and the parties entered into a confidential settlement and patent license agreement.
 
On August 1, 2013, Straight Path IP also filed complaints in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against the same respondents in the ITC action, alleging infringement of the same three patents. Straight Path IP seeks damages in these actions. With a co-pending ITC investigation involving the same patents, the defendants are entitled by statute to a stay of the district court proceedings, and all of the matters have been stayed. These actions, except against the LG defendants, have been consolidated. Straight Path IP has served the complaints.
 
On August 23, 2013, Straight Path IP filed complaints in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Blackberry Ltd., Blackberry Corp., Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Huawei Technologies USA, Inc., Huawei Devices USA, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., Samsung Telecommunications America, L.L.C., ZTE Corporation, and ZTE USA, Inc. alleging infringement of three of its patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,108,704, 6,009,469, and 6,131,121). Straight Path IP seeks damages in these actions. Straight Path IP entered into a stipulation dismissing the foreign ZTE entity, ZTE Corporation, without prejudice in exchange for discovery against the remaining ZTE entity, ZTE USA. Discovery has begun, a Markman hearing is set for October 2014 and a pretrial conference has been set for October 2015.

On November 5, 2013, Straight Path IP filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against Vonage Holdings Corp., Vonage America, Inc., and Vonage Marketing LLC claiming infringement of four of its patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,009,469, 6,131,121, 6,513,066, and 6,701,365). Straight Path IP seeks both damages and injunctive relief from the defendants. In January 2014, the action was transferred to the District Court for the District of New Jersey. A scheduling order has not issued.
 
On December 5, 2013, Sony Corporation filed three petitions at the USPTO for inter partes review of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,108,704, 6,009,469, and 6,131,121. Straight Path IP will have an opportunity to respond by March 21, 2014 and is expected to argue that the petitions should be denied. A decision as to whether the USPTO will grant the petitions is not expected for approximately three months from the March 21, 2014 response date. Although Straight Path IP believes that its patents are valid, they may be deemed invalid during the inter partes review.
 
In addition to the foregoing, the Company may from time to time be subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company does not expect any of those legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
 
Other Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Former SPSI CEO is entitled to receive payments from future revenues generated from the leasing, licensing or sale of rights in certain of Straight Path Spectrum’s wireless spectrum licenses. Those payments are to be made out of 50% of the covered revenue and are in a maximum aggregate amount of $4 million. The payments arise under the June 2013 settlement of certain claims and disputes with the Former SPSI CEO and parties related to the Former SPSI CEO. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has paid $0.1 million to the Former SPSI CEO for this obligation.
 
Straight Path IP generally pays law firms that represent it in litigation against alleged infringers of its intellectual property rights a percentage of the amounts recovered ranging from 0% to 40% depending on several factors. One of such law firms has the right to 30% of the proceeds from any monetization of the Droplet patent portfolio, as such assets were received in settlement of litigation. The Droplet patent portfolio includes United States Patents Nos. 6,825,780; 6,847,317; 7,844,122; 7,525,463; 8,279,098; 7,436,329; 7,679,649 and a number of U.S. and foreign patent applications.

Overview
 
Our businesses consist of Straight Path Spectrum, Inc., or Straight Path Spectrum, and Straight Path IP Group, Inc., or Straight Path IP. We own 100% of Straight Path Spectrum, and 84.5% of Straight Path IP, subject to outstanding options held by a consultant to purchase another 0.5% of Straight Path IP from us. In addition, the former Chief Executive Officer of Straight Path IP, or the Former SPIP CEO, has asserted claim to the right to receive options to purchase 5% of Straight Path IP’s common stock from us, which is in dispute.
 
We were formerly a subsidiary of IDT Corporation, or IDT. On July 31, 2013, we were spun-off from IDT through a pro rata distribution of our common stock to its stockholders and became an independent public company (the Spin-Off). As a result of the Spin-Off, each IDT stockholder received one share of our Class A common stock for every two shares of IDT Class A common stock and one share of our Class B common stock for every two shares of IDT Class B common stock held on the record date for the Spin-Off. On July 31, 2013, we distributed 0.8 million shares of our Class A common stock (based on 1.6 million shares of IDT Class A common stock that were outstanding on the record date) and 10.7 million shares of our Class B common stock (based on 21.4 million shares of IDT Class B common stock that were outstanding on the record date).
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our combined and 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 combined and consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2013. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue 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 policy relates to the valuation of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2013.

Revenues.  Revenues generated by Straight Path Spectrum were $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2013, respectively. Revenues generated by Straight Path IP were $0.3 million and $0.4 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.4 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2013, respectively.
 
Direct cost of revenues. Direct cost of revenues increased in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 primarily due to an increase in the direct cost of revenues of Straight Path IP. The increase in the Straight Path IP direct cost of revenues in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 was related to an increase in revenues from litigation settlements. Direct cost of revenues decreased in the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in the direct cost of revenues of Straight Path IP.

Selling, general and administrative.  Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 due to increases in the selling, general and administrative expense of both Straight Path IP and Straight Path Spectrum. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation related to the grant of 10% of the equity of Straight Path IP in September 2012.
 
Stock-based compensation expense included in consolidated selling, general and administrative expense was $0.3 million and $0.5 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, respectively, and nil and $1.2 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2013, respectively. At January 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation was an aggregate of $1.4 million. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period, of which $0.5 million is expected to be recognized in the twelve months ending January 31, 2015, $0.5 million is expected to be recognized in the twelve months ending January 31, 2016, and $0.4 million is expected to be recognized in the twelve months ending January 31, 2017.
 
Gain on sale of rights in wireless spectrum. In March and April 2012, Straight Path Spectrum closed on the sale of rights in wireless spectrum partitioned and/or disaggregated from eight of its spectrum licenses covering metropolitan areas from its nationwide portfolio. In fiscal 2012, Straight Path Spectrum received cash of $6.8 million in exchange for the rights in the spectrum and recorded a gain of $5.3 million. In fiscal 2013, Straight Path Spectrum settled certain claims made by the Former Chief Executive Officer of Straight Path Spectrum, or the Former SPSI CEO, and parties related to the Former SPSI CEO in connection with the March and April 2012 sale of rights in wireless spectrum. In the three months ended January 31, 2013, Straight Path Spectrum reversed accrued amounts due to the settlement of the claims and recorded a gain of $0.2 million.
 
Income from IDT Corporation payments of liabilities.  In connection with the Spin-Off, we and IDT entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement to effect the separation and provide a framework for our relationship with IDT after the Spin-Off. The Separation and Distribution Agreement includes, among other things, that IDT is obligated to reimburse us for the payment of any of our liabilities arising or related to the period prior to the Spin-Off. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, IDT paid nil and $0.1 million, respectively, pursuant to this obligation.
 
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.  The increase in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to the increase in Straight Path IP’s net loss in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013. The decrease in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to the decrease in Straight Path IP’s net loss in the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013.

Revenues.  Revenues decreased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2013 as a result of the loss of revenue from leases that expired or terminated.
 
Direct cost of revenues. Direct cost of revenues, which includes governmental fees and connectivity costs, decreased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2013 primarily due to the decrease in revenues.
 
Selling, general and administrative.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar periods in fiscal 2013 primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation expense, payroll and related expense, and expense for the Former SPSI CEO’s 50% share of leasing revenue, partially offset by decreases in legal, consulting and professional fees.

Revenues.  In January 2012, we filed complaints against three defendants claiming infringement of a number of our patents. In October and November 2012, we reached confidential settlement agreements with each of the three defendants. In August 2013, we filed complaints against various companies claiming infringement of a number of our patents. In January 2014, we entered into settlement agreements with two of the defendants. The total license and settlement amounts aggregated $4.6 million at January 31, 2014, excluding contingent amounts for which collectability is not reasonably assured. In connection with these settlements, we recognized revenue of $0.3 million and $0.4 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.4 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2013, respectively. The amount recognized in the three months ended January 31, 2014, and in the six months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, included revenues for past royalties.
 
Direct cost of revenues. Direct cost of revenues in the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of legal expenses directly related to revenues from the October and November 2012 and January 2014 litigation settlements described above. We incurred an aggregate of $2.6 million in expenses directly related to these settlements, which is being recognized ratably in proportion to the revenue recognized. The amount of expense recognized in the three months ended January 31, 2014, and in the six months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was based on the revenues recognized during the periods, which included revenues for past royalties.
 
General and administrative.  The increase in general and administrative expense in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation expense, payroll and related expense, and legal, consulting and professional fees, partially offset by a decrease in other employee related expense. The decrease in general and administrative expense in the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $0.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. On September 24, 2012, IDT’s Board of Directors approved a grant of 10% of the equity of Straight Path IP to Howard Jonas, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IDT at the time. These Straight Path IP shares vested immediately. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million in the six months ended January 31, 2013 for the grant of these shares, based on the estimated fair value of the shares on the grant date. The estimated fair value of the Straight Path IP shares was determined using the income approach based on expected future royalties. In addition, the decrease in general and administrative expense in the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2013 was due to a decrease in employee related expense. These decreases were partially offset by increases in legal, consulting and professional fees, and payroll and related expense.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
General
 
Historically, we have satisfied our cash requirements primarily through funding from IDT, proceeds from the sale of rights in spectrum licenses, and settlements or licensing fees received. In connection with the Spin-Off, IDT transferred cash to us such that we had approximately $15 million in cash at the time of the Spin-Off, and IDT capitalized the amount due from us to IDT at the time of the Spin-Off as an equity contribution. As a result, there was no indebtedness owing from us to IDT at the time of the Spin-Off. We currently expect that our cash and cash equivalents on-hand at January 31, 2014 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements during the twelve months ending January 31, 2015.

As of January 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.3 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $13.5 million. In connection with the Spin-Off, we and IDT entered into various agreements prior to the Spin-Off including a Separation and Distribution Agreement to effect the separation and provide a framework for our relationship with IDT after the Spin-Off. The Separation and Distribution Agreement includes, among other things, that IDT is obligated to reimburse us for the payment of any of our liabilities arising or related to the period prior to the Spin-Off. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, IDT paid nil and $0.1 million, respectively, pursuant to this obligation.
 
The Former SPSI CEO is entitled to receive payments from future revenues generated from the leasing, licensing or sale of rights in certain of Straight Path Spectrum’s wireless spectrum licenses. Those payments are to be made out of 50% of the covered revenue and are in a maximum aggregate amount of $4 million. The payments arise under the June 2013 settlement of certain claims and disputes with the Former SPSI CEO and parties related to the Former SPSI CEO. As of January 31, 2014, we have paid $0.1 million to the Former SPSI CEO for this obligation.
 
We generally pay law firms that represent us in litigation against alleged infringers of our intellectual property rights a percentage of the amounts recovered ranging from 0% to 40% depending on several factors. One of such law firms has the right to 30% of the proceeds from any monetization of our Droplet patent portfolio, as such assets were received in settlement of litigation. Our Droplet patent portfolio includes United States Patents Nos. 6,825,780; 6,847,317; 7,844,122; 7,525,463; 8,279,098; 7,436,329; 7,679,649 and a number of U.S. and foreign patent applications.

Operating Activities
 
Our cash flow from operations varies significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, specifically trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable.
 
Financing Activities
 
During the six months ended January 31, 2013, IDT provided us with the cash required to fund our working capital requirements and our operations. In the six months ended January 31, 2013, expenses paid by IDT on our behalf and net cash transfers received from IDT were an aggregate of $0.7 million. In addition, in the six months ended January 31, 2013, the $0.7 million due from us to IDT was contributed by IDT to our equity, such that we were not required to use cash to settle the liability and our debt to IDT was reduced.
 
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock until we achieve sustainable profitability and retain certain minimum cash reserves. Following that time, it is our intention to distribute not less than 50% of our consolidated positive net earnings available for distribution to our stockholders. Distributions will be subject to the need to retain earnings for investment in growth opportunities or the acquisition of complementary assets. The nature of our operations is that, in the short term until our licensing, leasing, sale of rights in wireless spectrum and enforcement programs become more firmly established, we do not anticipate generating meaningful cash flows. The payment of dividends in any specific period will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of January 31, 2014, 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, other than the following.
 
In connection with the Spin-Off, we and IDT entered into various agreements prior to the Spin-Off including a Separation and Distribution Agreement to effect the separation and provide a framework for our relationship with IDT after the Spin-Off, and a Tax Separation Agreement, which sets forth the responsibilities of us and IDT with respect to, among other things, liabilities for federal, state, local and foreign taxes for periods before and including the Spin-Off, the preparation and filing of tax returns for such periods and disputes with taxing authorities regarding taxes for such periods. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, we indemnify IDT and IDT indemnifies us for losses related to the failure of the other to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, any of the liabilities and obligations set forth in the agreement. The Separation and Distribution Agreement includes, among other things, that IDT is obligated to reimburse us for the payment of any liabilities arising or related to the period prior to the Spin-Off.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We need to begin the process of documenting, reviewing and, as appropriate, improving our internal controls and procedures in anticipation of becoming subject to the SEC rules concerning internal control over financial reporting, which take effect beginning with the filing of our second Annual Report on Form 10-K (which will be due in October 2014).
