Straight Path Communications Inc. Class Action As discussed in Note 16, the Company (as well as other defendants) has been named in a pending class action on behalf of the stockholders of the Company’s former subsidiary, Straight Path Communications Inc. (“Straight Path”). The Company incurred legal fees and recorded offsetting gains from insurance claims related to this action in the three and six months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022. Write-off of Contingent Consideration Liabilities In the six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company determined that the requirements for a portion of the contingent consideration payments related to the Leaf acquisition would not be met. In addition, in the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company determined that the requirements for a contingent consideration payment related to an acquisition in December 2019 would not be met before the expiration date. The Company recognized gains on the write-off of these contingent consideration payment obligations in the Fintech and net2phone segments, respectively. Government Grants In the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, Leaf received payments from government grants for the development and commercialization of blockchain-backed financial technologies. Indemnification Claim Beginning in June 2019, as part of a commercial resolution, the Company indemnified a cable telephony customer related to patent infringement claims brought against the customer.
