Revenue | 2. Revenue 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 $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 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 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. 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. The revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $202,000. 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 first half of fiscal year 2023. 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 associated 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 a fixed monthly recurring unit price per user, with 30-day payment terms, for its pdvConnect and TeamConnect service offerings. As a result of the Company’s restructuring efforts, over two transactions in 2018 and 2020, the Company transferred its TeamConnect and pdvConnect businesses to related and third parties with the Company retaining a certain portion of the recurring revenues from these customers (the “Service Revenue Transfer”). The Company did not recognize any service revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021. The Company recognized $53,000 and $193,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020. 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 narrowband spectrum licenses (the “2014 Motorola spectrum agreement”). The payment of the fee is accounted for as deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated 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 nine months ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $183,000 and $547,000, respectively. The revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $183,000 and $547,000, respectively. 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 are 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. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred commission and stock compensation costs to obtain its long-term 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum lease agreements amounting to approximately $129,000, which was capitalized and will be amortized over the contractual term.The following table presents the activity for the Company’s contract assets (in thousands): Contract AssetsBalance at March 31, 2021$ 381Additions 129Amortization (3)Impairment —Balance at December 31, 2021 507Less amount classified as current assets - prepaid expenses and other current assets (104)Noncurrent assets - included in other assets$ 403 Contract liabilities.
