+Added: We believes, that, due to restrictions on social activities related to the pandemic, users may increase engagement with our Zedge
+Added: app which may bode well for new user growth partially offsetting the negative impacts discussed.
+Added: the quarters ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, we generated approximately 79% and 82%, respectively, of our revenues from selling

+Added: 30% as our fee, which we recognize as revenue.
+Added: As Zedge Premium matures and expands, we expect to also diversify our revenue source
+Added: January 2019, we started offering a subscription-based product to Android users of our Zedge app in which the payment of a monthly
+Added: or annual fee would remove unsolicited ads when using our Zedge app.
+Added: During the first 12 months after a customer’s sign
+Added: up for the subscription-based product, Google retains up to 30% as a fee, which decreases to 15% from month 13 and beyond.
+Added: of October 31, 2020, we had approximately 609,000 active paid subscribers, 90% of which had subscribed on an annual basis.

−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in public
−Removed: health responses including travel bans, restrictions, social distancing requirements, and shelter-in place orders, which have negatively
−Removed: impacted our business, operations and financial performance.
−Removed: While we saw a significant decrease in advertising spend when the
−Removed: pandemic became global in March, we have experienced a stabilizing daily advertising revenue and continuing improvement in our
−Removed: subscriptions sales in May 2020.
−Removed: In light of the current operating and economic
−Removed: environment, the Company has shifted resources and priorities to increase focus on generating incremental revenue at the expense
−Removed: of delivering new product.
−Removed: We imposed a temporary hiring freeze and lowered our discretionary spend to preserve cash for mission
−Removed: critical projects.
−Removed: We have responded quickly and decisively to the challenges presented by the pandemic in order to ensure the
−Removed: continuity of our service.
−Removed: Given the unprecedented uncertainty and
−Removed: rapidly shifting market conditions of the business environment, we cannot reasonably estimate the full impacts of the COVID-19
−Removed: pandemic on our future financial and operational results.
−Removed: Our past results may not be indicative of our future performance, and
−Removed: historical trends in revenue, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), and net income (loss) per share may differ materially.
−Removed: For example, to the extent the pandemic continues to disrupt economic activity globally, it could continue to adversely affect
−Removed: our business, operations and financial results through prolonged decreases in advertising spend, credit deterioration of our customers,
−Removed: depressed economic activity, or declines in capital markets, including volatility of our stock price.
−Removed: We continue to monitor the
−Removed: rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public
−Removed: health authorities, and there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan.
−Removed: As such, given
−Removed: the unprecedented uncertainty around the duration and severity of the impact on market conditions and the business environment,
−Removed: we cannot reasonably estimate the full impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating results in the future.
−Removed: Key Performance Indicators
−Removed: Our results of operations discussion includes
−Removed: disclosure of two key performance indicators - Monthly Active Users (MAU) and Average Revenue Per Monthly Active User (ARPMAU).
−Removed: MAU is a key performance indicator that captures the number of unique users that used our Zedge app during the previous 30-day
−Removed: period, which is important to understanding the size of the user base for the Company’s Zedge app which is a driver of revenue.
−Removed: Changes and trends in MAU are useful for measuring the general health of our business, gauging both present and potential customers'
−Removed: experience, assessing the efficacy of product improvements and marketing campaigns and overall user engagement.
−Removed: ARPMAU is valuable
−Removed: because it provides insight into how well we monetize our users and, changes and trends in ARPMAU are indications of how effective
−Removed: our monetization investments are.
−Removed: MAU was down in the third quarter of fiscal
−Removed: 2020 when compared to the same period a year ago and the sequential second quarter.
−Removed: A portion of this decline was likely a consequence
−Removed: of a drop in new phone sales resulting from retail business closures.
−Removed: This negatively impacted app installs and engagement which
−Removed: are typical user behavior patterns when consumers purchase a new handset.
−Removed: Over the past several years, we have experienced a continuing
−Removed: shift in the regional customer make-up with MAU in emerging markets representing an increasing portion of our user base.
−Removed: April 30, 2020, users in emerging markets represented 69% of our MAU compared to 63% a year prior.
−Removed: This shift has negatively impacted
−Removed: revenue because advertising rates in emerging markets are materially lower than in well-developed markets.
−Removed: Conversely, ARPMAU for
−Removed: the same periods was up 32.8% when compared to the same period a year ago, pointing to progress we have made in extracting more
−Removed: value from our users, particularly from subscriptions.
−Removed: ARPMAU declined 16.2% on a sequential basis due to higher advertising spend
−Removed: during the holiday season in second quarter coupled with the impact from COVID-19 in third quarter.

+Added: While we saw a

+Added: a strong recovery since July 2020.

+Added: Initially, we shifted resources and priorities and focused on streamlining our back-end infrastructure and specifically
+Added: redesigning our content management system in order to better control costs while simultaneously establishing a scalable foundation
+Added: for new growth initiatives, even at the expense of new product initiatives.
+Added: At the outset of the pandemic, we instituted a hiring

+Added: the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future financial and operational results.
+Added: At this point it is unclear whether
+Added: variables including the economy, unemployment, retail sales, and advertising budgets, or capital markets, including volatility
+Added: of our stock price will impact our business.
+Added: We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international

−Removed: increased 8.7% from $1.91 million to $2.08 million in the three months ended April 30, 2020 compared to the same period in fiscal

−Removed: associated with managing ad operations for a third-party mobile app publisher, which was discontinued effective May 31, 2019.
−Removed: a sequential basis, revenue decreased 21.4% compared to the second fiscal quarter due to the impact that COVID-19 had on advertising

−Removed: to $6.76 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2020 compared to the same period in fiscal 2019.
−Removed: The slight decline in revenues
−Removed: was primarily due to the combination of a shift in the makeup of our user base from well-developed markets that command relatively
−Removed: higher advertising rates to emerging markets, and the loss of service revenue discussed above, partially offset by the strong growth
−Removed: in subscriptions.
−Removed: In the three months ended April 30, 2020,
−Removed: MAU declined by 28.7 and 7.6% % in well-developed economies and emerging markets, respectively, when compared to the same period
−Removed: in fiscal 2019.
−Removed: Overall, MAU fell 15.4% to 28.8 million at April 30, 2020 from 34.0 million at April 30, 2019, primarily as a result
−Removed: of lower new handsets sales globally due to COVID-19 impact.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the geographical shift and
−Removed: the decline in our overall MAU, revenue per monthly active user or ARPMAU, from our apps increased 32.8% to $0.0220 in the three
−Removed: months ended April 30, 2020 from $0.0166 in the same period in fiscal 2019.
−Removed: This can be attributable to the higher margin subscription
−Removed: revenue which has been our focus for growth in fiscal 2020 and, to a lesser extent, the decline in MAU which increases the impact
−Removed: of certain revenue on this metric.
−Removed: as well as other growth initiatives under way including, among other things, unlocking more
−Removed: value from our users in emerging markets.
−Removed: We completed the rollout of Zedge Premium
−Removed: in March 2018 to a segment of our Android user base and we expanded it to 100% of our Android user base in January 2019.
−Removed: three months ended April 30, 2020 gross transaction value (the total sales volume transacting through the platform, or “GTV”)
−Removed: and net revenue generated from Zedge Premium were $150,000 and $123,000 respectively.
−Removed: In the nine months ended April 30, 2020,
−Removed: GTV and net revenue generated from Zedge Premium were $538,000 and $342,000 respectively.
−Removed: The high margin can be attributed to
−Removed: Zedge Credits expirations.
−Removed: In the three months and nine months ended April 30, 2020, we recognized $62,000 and $124,000 in revenue
−Removed: from breakage upon expiration of Zedge Credits.
−Removed: We are likely
−Removed: going to see a short-term to medium-term decline in GTV and associated Zedge Premium revenue due to our promotion of Shortz ahead
−Removed: of Zedge Premium and the redesign of our app’s homepage which will enable improvements in content discovery and recommendations,
−Removed: social and community features and the potential for new content genres.
−Removed: Until this effort is completed, Zedge Premium GTV and associated
−Removed: revenue will likely face pressure.
−Removed: However, we have been able to offset some of the revenue impact by enabling better optimization
−Removed: of our advertising inventory and associated revenue.
−Removed: In January 2019, we started offering an
−Removed: option by which users can remove unsolicited advertisements from our Zedge app by paying a fee.
−Removed: In the three months and nine months

−Removed: revenue of $455,000 and $ 984,000 respectively.
−Removed: We had close to 394,000 active subscription accounts as of April 30, 2020.
