PART I

ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

We are an Internet advertising and platform technology company that provides tools to automate the digital advertising market. Our focus is to provide technology tools that enable both publishers and advertisers to maximize their digital advertising initiatives. We derive our revenues from:

·

sales of digital media advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;

·

sales of media inventory through real-time bidding, or RTB, exchanges;

·

sale and licensing of our SRAX Social platform and related media; and

·

creation of custom platforms for buying media on SRAX for large brands.

SRAX – Real Time Bidding sell side representation. Our technology assists publishers in delivering their media inventory to the RTB exchanges. An RTB exchange is a method of selling and buying online display advertising in real time, one ad impression at a time, utilizing computer algorithms to automatically buy and sell ads in real-time. Our tools provide reporting to these publishers about the sales of their media inventory on these exchanges. We believe that our tools assist publishers in maximizing their revenues. We contract with web and mobile publishers to sell their media inventory on the RTB exchanges by having the publisher sign up on our portal to become one of our publishing partners. Once the publisher signs up, the traffic they deliver is evaluated by us for fraud potential; once approved, we provide the publisher with technology that allow us to deliver advertising to their approved sites or applications. This includes providing the partner with technology from our advertising server that they then place onto their webpage. This "tag" allows us to fill advertising space on the publisher's website when we have an advertiser that would like to buy the space. Our platform presents all of the media inventory from our publishing partners to many different buyers at the same time, and then those buyers have the ability to bid on the inventory. Our system then takes the highest price offered and sells the space to that bidder. The price that advertisers are willing to pay for any specific placement is determined in real time and we seek to deliver the highest paid ad at any given time.

SRAX – Real Time Bidding buy side representation. We also provide our SRAX platform to brands and their advertising agencies. We build custom platforms that allow our agency partners to launch and manage their own RTB campaigns by enabling them to directly place advertising orders on the platform dashboard and view and analyze results as they occur. These efforts involve working with the brand and agencies to understand their marketing objectives and then customizing our buying platform to allow these clients to import their own first party consumer targeting data to maximize their media buys. We also provide the clients access to third party consumer targeting data that allows them to further target their media buys. In some instances we provide these services on a managed basis where the clients provide us with an insertion order and we launch and manage the program on the SRAX platform on their behalf.

SRAX Social. SRAX Social is a social media and loyalty platform that allows brands to launch and manage their social media initiatives. We have found that many of our clients need to build a social media presence and SRAX Social provides the tools and services necessary to launch a presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and other social networks. Our team works with customers to identify their needs and then helps them in the creation, deployment and management of their social media presence. SRAX Social allows brand marketers to select from a number of pre-created applications, and then launch these applications and loyalty programs on their social media sites and their websites. With the addition of the SRAX platform, we are helping brands to identify their influencers and then, utilizing this first party data, we are creating "look alike audiences." Look alike audiences are consumers who match the characteristics of the identified "influencers." These consumers are likely to be influential to the brand. Once we create the "look alike audience," we are able to reach these consumers across the web and on social networks through our SRAX platform. SRAX Social represents the combination and rebranding in 2015 of our GroupAd, SRAX DI and Five Delta offerings.

SRAX MD. SRAX MD is an ad targeting and data platform for healthcare brands, agencies and medical content publishers. Healthcare and pharmaceutical publishers utilize the platform for yield optimization, audience extension campaigns and re-targeting of their healthcare professional audience. Agencies and brands purchase targeted digital and mobile ad campaigns.

SRAX APP. SRAX APP is a platform allows publishers and content owners to launch native mobile applications through our SRAX platform. Our platform takes our content partner's social and other content and creates an application that is placed in the Google Play Store and in the Apple App Store, as well as other application marketing locations to market the app. We are the owner of the application and share any revenue generated through the application with our content partners.

Marketing and sales

We market our services through our in house sales team, which is divided into two distinct activities. One group is responsible for brand advertisers and advertising agencies, and the other is responsible for publisher acquisition and management. Our in house marketing is focused on social media, including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, public relations (PR), industry events and the creation of white papers which assist in our marketing efforts and are used as lead generation tools for our sales team. We also attend industry specific events such as AdTech, AdExchanger, and Salesforce annual events and local events in Los Angeles and New York.

We rely on our publishing partners to provide the media inventory that we sell and use to promote our marketing campaigns as well as to assist in driving user traffic to these campaigns.

Intellectual property

We currently rely on a combination of trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Our success depends on the protection of the proprietary aspects of our technology as well as our ability to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We also enter into proprietary information and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and commercial partners and control access to, and distribution of, our software documentation and other proprietary information. Prior to our acquisition of Five Delta in December 2014, in October 2014 it filed a U.S. patent for a method and system for bidding and performance tracking using online advertisements and provisional status has been granted under 62/060,247. In addition, it claimed the benefit of a pending U.S. patent number 61/604,348 for online advertising scoring. The provisional patent application has now been converted to a non-provisional patent application number 12/960,435 and is awaiting examination by the Patent Office.

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our competitors include companies who focus on the RTB market and companies who are focused on providing social media applications on a managed and self-service basis. We believe we compete based on both our ability to assist our customers to obtain the best available prices as well as our excellent customer service. The barrier to entry to our industry is low. We believe that in the future we will face increased competition from these companies as they expand their operations as well as new entrants to our industry. Most of the entities against which we compete, or may compete, are larger and have greater financial resources than our company. Competition for advertising placements among current and future suppliers of Internet navigational and informational services, high-traffic websites and Internet service providers, as well as competition with other media for advertising placements, could result in significant price competition, declining margins and reductions in advertising revenue. In addition, as we continue our efforts to expand the scope of our services, we may compete with a greater number of publishers and other media companies across an increasing range of different services, including vertical markets where competitors may have advantages in expertise, brand recognition and other areas. If existing or future competitors develop or offer products or services that provide significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over those offered by us, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be negatively affected. We also compete with traditional advertising media, such as direct mail, television, radio, cable, and print, for a share of advertisers' total advertising budgets. Many current and potential competitors enjoy competitive advantages over us, such as longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases, greater access to advertising space on high-traffic websites, and significantly greater financial, technical, sales, and marketing resources. As a result, we may not be able to compete successfully. If we fail to compete successfully, we could lose customers or media inventory and our revenue and results of operations could decline.

2

Government regulation

Aspects of the digital marketing and advertising industry and how our business operates are highly regulated. We are subject to a number of domestic and, to the extent our operations are conducted outside the U.S., foreign laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet and through other electronic means, many of which are still evolving and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In particular, we are subject to rules of the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, and potentially other federal agencies and state laws related to our advertising content and methods, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or CAN-SPAM Act, which establishes certain requirements for commercial electronic mail messages and specifies penalties for the transmission of commercial electronic mail messages that follow a recipient's opt-out request or are intended to deceive the recipient as to source or content, and federal and state regulations covering the treatment of member data that we collect from endorsers.

U.S. and foreign regulations and laws potentially affecting our business are evolving. We have not yet developed an internal compliance program nor do we have policies in place to monitor compliance. Instead, we rely on the policies of our publishing partners and advertising clients. If we are unable to identify all regulations to which our business is subject and implement effective means of compliance, we could be subject to enforcement actions, lawsuits and penalties including, but not limited to, fines and other monetary liability or injunction that could prevent us from operating our business or certain aspects of our business. In addition, compliance with the regulations to which we are subject now or in the future may require changes to our products or services, restrict or impose additional costs upon the conduct of our business or cause users to abandon products or aspects of our services. Any such action could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The FTC adopted Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising on October 5, 2009. These guides recommend that advertisers and publishers clearly disclose in third-party endorsements made online, such as in social media, if compensation was received in exchange for said endorsements. Because some of our marketing campaigns entail the engagement of consumers to refer other consumers in their social networks to view ads or take action, and both we and the consumer may earn cash and other incentives, and any failure on our part to comply with these guides may be damaging to our business. We currently do not take any steps to monitor compliance with these guides. In the event of a violation, the FTC could potentially identify a violation of the guides, which could subject us to a financial penalty or loss of endorsers or advertisers.

In the area of information security and data protection, many states have passed laws requiring notification to users when there is a security breach for personal data, such as the 2002 amendment to California's Information Practices Act, or requiring the adoption of minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to practically implement. The costs of compliance with these laws may increase in the future as a result of changes in interpretation. Furthermore, any failure on our part to comply with these laws may subject us to significant liabilities.

We are also subject to federal, state, and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of user data. Any failure by us to comply with these privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental authorities or others, which could harm our business. In addition, the interpretation of data protection laws, and their application to the Internet is unclear and in a state of flux. There is a risk that these laws may be interpreted and applied in conflicting ways from state to state, country to country, or region to region, and in a manner that is not consistent with our current data protection practices. Complying with these varying requirements could cause us to incur additional costs and change our business practices. Further, any failure by us to adequately protect users' privacy and data could result in a loss of confidence in our services and ultimately in a loss of customers, which could adversely affect our business.

We generally only receive user data authorized through the Facebook user API. Access to such information, in addition to being limited in scope by Facebook policies and procedures, requires the affirmative authorization of the participating user, as stipulated by Facebook. In a campaign, we post a privacy policy and user agreement, which describe the practices concerning the use, transmission and disclosure of member data in connection with such campaign. Any failure by us to comply with our privacy policy and user agreement could result in proceedings against us by users, customers, governmental authorities or others, which could harm our business.

3

Many states have passed laws requiring notification to subscribers when there is a security breach of personal data. There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the United States Congress, various state legislative bodies and foreign governments concerning data protection. We partner with providers of data to acquire this data and we do not own this data. In addition, data protection laws in Europe and other jurisdictions outside the United States may be more restrictive, and the interpretation and application of these laws are still uncertain and in flux. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this could result in an order requiring that we change our data practices, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has provisions that limit, but do not necessarily eliminate, our liability for linking to third-party websites that include materials that infringe copyrights or other rights, so long as we comply with the statutory requirements of this act. Complying with these various laws could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business.

Our users communicate across social and/or web-based channels. These communications are governed by a variety of U.S. federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations. In the United States, the CAN-SPAM Act establishes certain requirements for the distribution of "commercial" email messages for the primary purpose of advertising or promoting a commercial product, service, or Internet website and provides for penalties for transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as to source or content or that do not give opt-out control to the recipient. The FTC is primarily responsible for enforcing the CAN-SPAM Act, and the U.S. Department of Justice, other federal agencies, state attorneys general, and Internet service providers also have authority to enforce certain of its provisions.

The CAN-SPAM Act's main provisions include:

· prohibiting false or misleading email header information;

· prohibiting the use of deceptive subject lines;

· ensuring that recipients may, for at least 30 days after an email is sent, opt out of receiving future commercial email messages from the sender, with the opt-out effective within 10 days of the request;

· requiring that commercial email be identified as a solicitation or advertisement unless the recipient affirmatively assented to receiving the message; and

· requiring that the sender include a valid postal address in the email message.

The CAN-SPAM Act preempts most state restrictions specific to email marketing. However, some states have passed laws regulating commercial email practices that are significantly more punitive and difficult to comply with than the CAN-SPAM Act, particularly Utah and Michigan, which have enacted do-not-email registries listing minors who do not wish to receive unsolicited commercial email that markets certain covered content, such as adult content or content regarding harmful products. Some portions of these state laws may not be preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act.

Violations of the CAN-SPAM Act's provisions can result in criminal and civil penalties, including statutory penalties that can be based in part upon the number of emails sent, with enhanced penalties for commercial email senders who harvest email addresses, use dictionary attack patterns to generate email addresses, and/or relay emails through a network without permission.

With respect to text message campaigns, for example, the CAN-SPAM Act and regulations implemented by the FCC pursuant to the CAN-SPAM Act, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, also known as the Federal Do-Not-Call law, among other requirements, prohibit companies from sending specified types of commercial text messages unless the recipient has given his or her prior express consent. We, our users and our advertisers may all be subject to various provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act. If we are found to be subject to the CAN-SPAM Act, we may be required to change one or more aspects of the way we operate our business.

If we were found to be in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act, other federal laws, applicable state laws not preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act, or foreign laws regulating the distribution of commercial email, whether as a result of violations by our users or any determination that we are directly subject to and in violation of these requirements, we could be required to pay penalties, which would adversely affect our financial performance and significantly harm our reputation and our business.

In addition, because our services are accessible worldwide, certain foreign jurisdictions may claim that we are required to comply with their laws, including in jurisdictions where we have no local entity, employees, or infrastructure.

Employees

At March 1, 2016 we had 43 full-time employees. We also contract for the services of an additional approximately 47 individuals from a third-party provider. There are no collective bargaining agreements covering any of our employees.

Our history

We were originally organized in August 2009 as a California limited liability company under the name Social Reality, LLC, and we converted to a Delaware corporation effective January 1, 2012. Social Reality, LLC began business in May, 2010. Upon the conversion, we changed our name to Social Reality, Inc.

Acquisition of Steel Media

On October 30, 2014, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Steel Media from Mr. Richard Steel pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 30, 2014, by and among our company, Steel Media and Mr. Steel. Founded in 1999, Steel Media provides digital advertising services and display, mobile, video and email advertising inventory to both brands and advertising agencies. As consideration for the purchase of Steel Media, we agreed to pay Mr. Steel up to $20 million, consisting of:

·

a cash payment at closing of $7.5 million;

·

a cash payment of $2 million which is being held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, dated October 30, 2014, by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, our company and Mr. Steel, which we refer to as the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, to satisfy certain indemnification obligations to the extent such arise under the Stock Purchase Agreement;

·

the Steel Note in the principal amount of $2.5 million which was secured by the 2,386,863 Escrow Shares; and

·

earn out payments of up to $8 million.

The earn out consideration is payable upon the attainment of EBITDA targets of Steel Media during the two year period following the closing, 60% of which may be satisfied in shares of the our Class A common stock subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Further, in the event of:

·

a change of control of our company or Steel Media, or

·

Mr. Steel's termination without "cause" or resignation for "good reason" during the two year period following the closing,

we are obligated to pay Mr. Steel 100% of the earn out consideration (less any amount previously paid to Mr. Steel). To the extent we are prohibited from paying any earn out consideration in cash and Mr. Steel is prohibited from receiving same under the terms of the Subordination Agreement described elsewhere in this report, Mr. Steel has the right to request that we pay him the prohibited cash earn out payment in shares of our Class A common stock.

The EBITDA targets for the first earn out period ended October 31, 2015 were met which entitled Mr. Steel to an earn out payment of $4 million. In January, 2016 we paid Mr. Steel $1.6 million in cash and issued him 1,283,766 shares of our Class A common stock valued at $2.4 million in full payment of the first year earn out.

The Steel Note bore interest at the rate of 5% per annum and the principal and accrued interest was due and payable on October 30, 2015. The Steel Note was also subject to certain mandatory partial prepayments for each of the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 in an amount equal to 25% of the "Excess Cash Amount" as defined in the Steel Note. We made a mandatory partial prepayment in August 2015, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 in the amount of $241,737. On October 29, 2015 we paid Mr. Steel a total of $2,381,124 in full satisfaction of the remaining principal balance of the Steel Note and accrued but unpaid interest and the Steel Note was retired.

5

The obligations under the Steel Note were subordinated to our obligations under the Financing Agreement as described later in this report, pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement and was secured by the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Shares were considered issued but not outstanding, and Mr. Steel did not have any voting or other rights as a stockholder to the Escrow Shares during the period they were held in escrow. The Escrow Shares were being held by an escrow agent pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement dated October 30, 2014 by and among Mr. Steel, Social Reality and Lowenstein Sandler LLP, as escrow agent. Following the satisfaction of the Steel Note, the escrow terminated, the Escrow Shares were returned to us and cancelled, returning to the status of authorized but unissued shares of our Class A common stock.

On October, 30, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Steel Media, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Mr. Steel pursuant to which we agreed to register any earn out shares issued to him. We granted Mr. Steel demand registration rights over the earn out shares which he may exercise 180 days after such shares are issued to him. In addition, Mr. Steel has the right to include any earn out shares issued to him in registration statements for offerings by us as well as offerings of our Class A common stock held by third parties. The terms of the Registration Rights Agreement contain underwriter and Rule 415 cutback provisions in which the number of earn out shares that we may include in a subsequent registration statement to be filed with the SEC will be reduced subject to certain allocation provisions as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. We agreed to pay all costs and expenses with such registration statement, other than Mr. Steel's selling expenses. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary indemnification provisions. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Mr. Steel agreed to certain restrictions on the amount of earn out shares that may be sold by him without our consent; provided, however, that these restrictions will automatically terminate upon our failure to fully pay the earn out consideration if and when due.

Acquisition of Five Delta

On December 19, 2014 we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Five Delta in exchange for 600,000 shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Acquisition and Exchange Agreement dated December 19, 2014 by and among Social Reality, Five Delta and the stockholders of Five Delta, which we refer to as the Five Delta Agreement. Five Delta is a managed advertising service that uses proprietary technology and methods to optimize digital advertising for its customers. Five Delta primarily utilizes quality first party data from platforms including Facebook, Yahoo, LinkedIn and Google in optimization decisions.

Under the terms of the Five Delta Agreement, 300,000 shares of the Class A common stock were deposited in escrow by the holders with the escrow agent pending satisfaction of certain post-closing conditions as described in the agreement. While the escrow shares remained in escrow, the holders granted Mr. Chris Miglino, our Chief Executive Officer, a voting proxy over the escrow shares. The Five Delta stockholders also granted us a right of first refusal over the shares of our Class A common stock tendered as consideration for a four year period from the closing date. The post-closing conditions were satisfied and the shares were released from escrow in December 2015.

The Five Delta stockholders also entered into 24 month lock up agreements at the closing of the Five Delta Agreement. The lock up agreements provide that one-half of our shares of Class A common stock acquired in the transaction will be released from the lock up on the one year anniversary of the closing date, with the balance released on the two year anniversary of the closing date. Following the release of any of the shares from the lock up agreement, the holders agreed to limit the resale of such shares based upon a numerical formula tied to the trading volume of our Class A common stock and agreed that all permitted resales will be made at the then current bid price of our Class A common stock. The lock up automatically terminates upon a change of control of our company.

ITEM 1.A

RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our Class A common stock involves a significant degree of risk. You should not invest in our Class A common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should consider carefully the following risk factors and other information in this report before deciding to invest in our Class A common stock. The risks described below highlight potential events, trends or other circumstances that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or access to sources of financing, and consequently, the market value of our Class A common stock. These risks could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results and from guidance we may provide regarding our expectations of future financial performance. The risks described below are not an exhaustive list of all the risks we face. There may be others that we have not identified or that we have deemed to be immaterial. All forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf are qualified by the risks described below.

Risks Related to our Business

We have a history of losses and there are no assurances we will report profitable operations in the foreseeable future.

We reported a net loss of $2.7 million for 2015 and at December 31, 2015 we had an accumulated deficit of $10.1 million. We incurred a net loss of $4.4 million for 2014 and at December 31, 2014 we had an accumulated deficit of $7.4 million. Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to grow our revenues and profits. There are no assurances that we will be able to increase our revenues and cash flow to a level which supports profitable operations. We may continue to incur losses in future periods until such time, if ever, as we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues and cash flow beyond what is necessary to fund our ongoing operations, pay our obligations under the Financing Agreement and pay any future earn out amounts which Mr. Steel may be entitled to receive. If we are able to significantly increase our revenues in future periods, the rapid growth which we are pursuing will strain our organization and we may encounter difficulties in maintaining the quality of our operations. If we are not able to grow successfully, it is unlikely we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to pay our operating expenses and service our debt obligations, or report profitable operations in future periods.

We have a limited operating history.

Our limited operating history means that there is a high degree of uncertainty in our ability to execute our business plan, obtain customers and create new products and services, respond to competition or operate the business, as management has not previously undertaken such actions as a company. Our inability to achieve any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

The terms of the Financing Agreement contain financial and operating terms which place significant operating demands on our company, may restrict our ability to efficiently operate our business, or could result in significant financial penalties. If we were to breach any of these covenants and terms, the lender could accelerate the amounts due under the Financing Agreement and we would be unable to operate our business as it is presently conducted.

As described later in this report, on October 30, 2014, we entered into the financing agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and holders of notes and warrants issued thereunder, which we refer to, as amended, as the Financing Agreement. The terms of the Financing Agreement include ongoing requirements to, among other actions, meet financial covenants including minimum leverage and current ratios, and interest and fixed charge coverages. The terms of the Financing Agreement create restrictions on how we undertake certain future events, including:

·

entering into new debt or equity financing transactions;

·

requiring 100% of any capital that we raise in new financings to be used to pay down the amount of the notes issued under the Financing Agreement at a 4% premium through the first anniversary of the date of Financing Agreement, reduced to a 3% premium through the second anniversary of the date of the Financing Agreement, subject to further decrease in accordance with the Financing Agreement;

·

making certain payments or distributions;

·

acquisitions;

·

dispositions of assets or business lines;

·

affiliate transactions;

·

engaging in new lines of business; and

·

the investment of cash,

7

among other actions. Our failure to conduct our business within the confines of these contractual restrictions could result in an event of default under the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement contains various other events of default such as:

·

failure to pay principal or interest;

·

filing of, or proceedings for bankruptcy or reorganization;

·

creation of non-permitted liens against company assets or collateral;

·

breach or misrepresentation of covenants, representations or warranties;

·

the occurrence of a material adverse effect;

·

loss of the CEO, or loss and non-timely replacement of the President;

·

breaches or material adverse events resulting in excess of a $100,000 liability;

·

breaches or defaults not remedied within prescribed cure periods;

·

failure of the Class A common stock to be quoted or listed on the OTCQB Tier of the OTC Markets, or if the Class A common stock becomes listed on a national securities exchange, such national securities exchange; and,

·

a change in control of our company.

Upon default, remedies range from notice and cure, to acceleration of both principal and interest. Our operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable us to service our debt. Upon an event of default under the Financing Agreement, if we were unable to cure the default within the prescribed periods, if at all, the lender could increase our interest rates or accelerate all amounts then due. If we were unable to repay these obligations, the lender could foreclose on our assets, in which case our ability to continue our business and operations as then conducted would be in jeopardy. If the lender should foreclose on our assets, it is likely you would lose your entire investment in our company.

Our debt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition, and our ability to grow our company could be in jeopardy.

Our debt obligations are currently comprised of senior notes issued under the Financing Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $12.7 million which are scheduled to mature in October 2017. The terms of the Financing Agreement contain certain mandatory prepayment requirements which generally require us to calculate excess cash flow on a quarterly basis, and remit approximately 50% of this excess cash to the lender. This dramatically reduces cash flow available to the company for working capital, accretion of a cash reserve, growth initiatives, or additional acquisitions. These obligations may further adversely impact our business and operations in other areas, including making it more difficult to satisfy our other obligations, increasing our vulnerability in the event of a downturn in our business prospects and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our markets and possibly placing us at a competitive disadvantage when compared to our competitors who have less debt.

The earn out payments which may be made to Mr. Steel under the terms of the acquisition agreement for Steel Media may adversely impact our cash flows in future periods. Under certain circumstances we can pay a portion of the earn out payments in shares of our Class A common stock which will be dilutive to our existing stockholders.

To complete the acquisition of Steel Media, we negotiated two annual earn out payments to be made to Mr. Steel based upon the satisfaction of certain targets for Steel Media for the two earn out periods ending October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2016, each up to a maximum of $4 million. If the earn outs are earned, under certain conditions we can pay up to 60% of each annual earn out in shares of our Class A common stock based upon the fair market value of the stock when issued. The earn out payments are only required to the extent that Steel Media has achieved certain adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, targets. However, the adjusted EBITDA targets of approximately $4.1 million for the 2015 period and approximately $4.9 million for the 2016 period are only slightly above the earn out amounts, providing little additional cash for other debt service, growth or working capital. Mr. Steel earned the first earnout payment for 2015 of $4 million and in January 2016 we paid him $1.6 million in cash and issued him 1,283,766 shares of our Class A common stock valued at $2.4 million in payment thereof. The shares of our Class A common stock issued to him represented approximately 5% of our outstanding Class A common stock. If we elect to satisfy up to 60% of the 2016 earn out payment, if the EBITDA target is made, in shares of our Class A common stock, the issuance of these additional shares will be dilutive to our current stockholders and could result in Mr. Steel, who is currently an executive officer and member of our board of directors, obtaining a significant voting interest in our company, thereby increasing his control of our business and operations.

8

We may need additional financing which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms. While the Financing Agreement is outstanding, all funds we receive from the issuance of additional securities must be used to repay amounts due the lender under the Financing Agreement, possibly further hindering our ability to raise capital upon acceptable terms.

We may need to raise additional working capital to fund expected growth in our company and for possible future, as yet unidentified, acquisitions. Our future capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including our operations, the financial condition of an acquisition target and its need for capital, our ability to internally fund our working capital needs, and our ability to manage the growth of our business. Given the size of our company, we expect to incur certain difficulties if we should seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or debt securities. In addition, under the terms of the Financing Agreement, we are required to use the proceeds from any sales of equity or debt securities to reduce the amounts owed the lender at a 4% premium, subject to decrease in accordance with its terms, which may make it more difficult to attract investments. We have granted the holder of the Financing Warrant a right to participate in future offerings, however, there are no assurances it will choose to participate. If, however, we should decide to seek additional working capital and are able to secure commitments upon terms satisfactory to us, and we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing stockholders that do not participate in such transaction will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our Class A common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we do not raise capital as needed, we may be unable to operate our business or fully implement our acquisition expansion strategy.

Our success is dependent upon our ability to effectively expand and manage our relationships with our publishers.

We do not generate our own media inventory. Accordingly, we are dependent upon our publishing partners to provide the media which we sell. We depend on these publishers to make their respective media inventories available to us to use in connection with our campaigns that we manage, create or market. Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to expand and maintain our publisher relationships within our network and to have access to new sources of media inventory such as new partner websites and Facebook pages that offer attractive demographics, innovative and quality content and growing Web user traffic volume. Our ability to attract new publishers to our networks and to retain Web publishers currently in our networks will depend on various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to introduce new and innovative products and services, our pricing policies, and the cost-efficiency to Web publishers of outsourcing their advertising sales. In addition, the number of competing intermediaries that purchase media inventory from Web publishers continues to increase. In the event we are not able to maintain effective relationships with our publishers, our ability to distribute our advertising campaigns will be greatly hindered which will reduce the value of our services and adversely impact our results of operations in future periods.

If we were to lose access to the Facebook platform, our SRAX Social growth would be limited and we could lose our existing revenue from these sources.

Facebook currently provides access to companies to build applications on their platform. We have built our SRAX Social platform to use the Facebook application programming interface, or APIs. The loss of access to the Facebook platform would limit our ability to effectively grow a portion of our operations. We are subject to Facebook's standard terms and conditions for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of applications on the Facebook platform. Facebook reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. Our business would be harmed if Facebook:

·

discontinues or limits access to its platform by us and other application developers;

·

modifies its terms of service or other policies, including fees charged to, or other restrictions on, us or other application developers, or changes how the personal information of its users is made available to application developers on the Facebook platform or shared by users;

·

establishes more favorable relationships with one or more of our competitors; or

·

develops its own competitive offerings.

9

We have benefited from Facebook's strong brand recognition and large user base. Facebook has broad discretion to change its terms of service and other policies with respect to us and other developers, and any changes to those terms of service may be unfavorable to us. Facebook may also change its fee structure, add fees associated with access to and use of the Facebook platform, change how the personal information of its users is made available to application developers on the Facebook platform or restrict how Facebook users can share information with friends on their platform. In the event Facebook makes any changes in the future, we may have to modify the structure of our campaigns which could impact the effectiveness of our campaigns and adversely impact our results of operations in future periods.

If we lose access to RTB inventory buyers our business may suffer.

In an effort to reduce our dependency on any one provider of advertising demand, in the first quarter of 2014 we created a platform that utilizes feeds from a number of demand sources for our inventory. We believe that our proprietary technology assists us in aggregating this demand, as well as providing the tools needed by our publishing partners to evaluate and track the effectiveness of the demand that we are aggregating for them. In the event that we lose access to a majority of this demand, our revenues would be impacted and our results of operations would be materially adversely impacted until such time, if ever, as we could secure alternative sources of demand for our inventory.

We are dependent on revenues from a limited number of customers.

For 2015 revenues from one customer accounted for 48% of our total revenues and at December 31, 2015, this customer accounted for 38% of our accounts receivable. For 2014 no one customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues, however 38% of our revenue was collected and paid to us by three of our RTB exchange service providers. The loss of any of these customers could have material adverse impact on our results of operations in future periods.

If advertising on the Internet loses its appeal, our revenue could decline.

Our business model may not continue to be effective in the future for a number of reasons, including:

·

a decline in the rates that we can charge for advertising and promotional activities;

·

our inability to create applications for our customers;

·

Internet advertisements and promotions are, by their nature, limited in content relative to other media;

·

companies may be reluctant or slow to adopt online advertising and promotional activities that replace, limit or compete with their existing direct marketing efforts;

·

companies may prefer other forms of Internet advertising and promotions that we do not offer;

·

the quality or placement of transactions, including the risk of non-screened, non-human inventory and traffic, could cause a loss in customers or revenue; and

·

regulatory actions may negatively impact our business practices.

If the number of companies who purchase online advertising and promotional services from us does not grow, we may experience difficulty in attracting publishers, and our revenue could decline.

Additional acquisitions may disrupt our business and adversely affect results of operations.

We may pursue acquisitions in an effort to increase revenue, expand our market position, add to our technological capabilities, or for other purposes. However, any future acquisitions would likely involve risk, including the following:

·

the identification, acquisition and integration of acquired businesses requires substantial attention from management. The diversion of management's attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could hurt our business;

·

the anticipated benefits from an acquisition may not be achieved, we may be unable to realize expected synergies from an acquisition or we may experience negative culture effects arising from the integration of new personnel;

·

difficulties in integrating the technologies, solutions, operations, and existing contracts of the acquired business;

·

we may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired company, technology, or solution;

10

·

to pay for future acquisitions, we could issue additional shares of our Class A common stock or pay cash, raised through equity sales or debt issuance. The issuance of any additional shares of our Class A common stock would dilute the interests of our current stockholders, and debt transactions would result in increased fixed obligations and would likely include covenants and restrictions that would impair our ability to manage our operations; and

·

new business acquisitions can generate significant intangible assets that result in substantial related amortization charges and possible impairments.

While our general growth strategy includes identifying and closing additional acquisitions, we are not presently a party of any agreements or understandings. There are no assurances we will acquire any additional companies.

We granted the Financing Warrant holder a put right. The possible exercise of this put right could materially impact our liquidity in future periods.

Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, we issued to the lender a five year warrant to purchase 2,900,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment, which we refer to as the Financing Warrant. Pursuant to the Financing Warrant, the warrant holder has the right, at any time after the earlier of April 30, 2016 and the maturity date of the note(s) issued under the Financing Agreement, but prior to October 30, 2019, to exercise its put right to sell to us all or any portion of the Financing Warrant that has not been previously exercised at a price equal to an amount based upon the percentage of the Financing Warrant for which the put right is being exercised, multiplied by the lesser of 50% of our total consolidated revenue for the trailing 12-month period ending with our then-most recently completed fiscal quarter, or $1,500,000. If the holder of the Financing Warrant was to exercise this put right, our liquidity would be adversely impacted and we may not have sufficient working capital to fund our ongoing operations or pay our other obligations as they become due.

Risk Related to our Class A Common Stock

There may never be an active market for our Class A common stock, which trades in the over-the-counter market in low volumes and at volatile prices.

There currently is a limited market for our Class A common stock. Although our Class A common stock is quoted on the OTCQB Tier of the OTC Markets, an over-the-counter quotation system, trading of our Class A common stock is limited and sporadic and generally at very low volumes. Further, the price at which our Class A common stock may trade is volatile and we expect that it will continue to fluctuate significantly in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The stock market in general, and securities of small-cap companies in our industry in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years. Continued market fluctuations could result in further volatility in the price at which our Class A common stock may trade, which could cause its value to decline. A more active market for our Class A common stock may never develop. As a result, investors must bear the economic risk of holding their shares of our Class A common stock for an indefinite period of time.

Failure to meet the financial performance guidance or other forward-looking statements we have provided to the public could result in a decline in our stock price.

We have previously provided, and may provide in the future, public guidance on our expected financial results for future periods. Although we believe that this guidance provides investors with a better understanding of management's expectations for the future and is useful to our stockholders and potential stockholders, such guidance is comprised of forward-looking statements subject to the risks and uncertainties described in this report and in our other public filings and public statements. Our actual results may not always be in line with or exceed the guidance we have provided. If our financial results for a particular period do not meet our guidance or if we reduce our guidance for future periods, the market price of our Class A common stock may decline.

11

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

As described later in this report, our management has determined that, as of December 31, 2015, we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework as a result of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have yet to fully remediate the previously identified material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. While we have never been required to restate our consolidated financial statements, the existence of the continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting increases the risk that a future restatement of our consolidated financials is possible.

Delaware law contains anti-takeover provisions that could deter takeover attempts that could be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions of Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may make the acquisition of our company and the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult by prohibiting stockholders holding 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock from acquiring us, without our board of directors' consent, for at least three years from the date they first hold 15% or more of the voting stock.

The two class structure of our common stock could have the effect of concentrating voting control with a limited group.

Our authorized capital includes two classes of common stock which have different voting rights. Our Class B common stock has 10 votes per share and our Class A common stock has one vote per share. The shares of our Class B common stock were originally held by two of our executive officers who were the founders of our company, but these shares were converted into shares of our Class A common stock in October 2013. While there are presently no shares of Class B common stock outstanding, in the future our Board could choose to issue shares to one or more individuals or entities. As a result of the voting rights associated with the Class B common stock, those individuals or entities could have significant influence over the management and affairs of the company and control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets, for the foreseeable future. This concentrated voting control could limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.

Our Class A common stock is a "penny stock," which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.

Our Class A common stock is considered a "penny stock" and is subject to the "penny stock" rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our Class A common stock. If our Class A common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

12

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must take reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. These FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our Class A common stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our Class A common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We have outstanding options and warrants to purchase approximately 42% of our currently outstanding Class A common stock.

At March 11, 2016 we had 29,977,925 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding together with outstanding options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,535,347 shares of Class A common stock at exercise prices of between $0.81 and $2.70 per share. In the event of the exercise of the warrants and/or options, the number of our outstanding Class A common stock will increase by approximately 42%, which will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

Certain of our outstanding warrants contain cashless exercise provisions which means we will not receive any cash proceeds upon their exercise.

At March 11, 2016 we had common stock warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 933,896 shares of our Class A common stock with an average exercise price of $1.10 per share which are exercisable on a cashless basis. This means that the holders, rather than paying the exercise price in cash, may surrender a number of warrants equal to the exercise price of the warrants being exercised. In addition, the exercise price of the Financing Warrant to purchase 2,900,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share is payable at the option of the warrant holder through a reduction in the principal outstanding under the notes issued under the terms of the Financing Agreement. It is possible that the warrant holders will use the cashless exercise feature, and that the holder of the Financing Warrant will elect to pay the exercise price through a reduction in the amount owed. In either event, it will deprive us of additional capital which might otherwise be obtained if the warrants were exercised on a cash basis.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors and officers under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights held by our directors and officers may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors and officers.

Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of our directors and officers to our company and our stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent permissible under Delaware law. Further, our bylaws provide that we are obligated to indemnify any of our directors or officers to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law. We are also parties to separate indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and our officers which, subject to certain conditions, require us to advance the expenses incurred by any director or officer in defending any action, suit or proceeding prior to its final disposition. Those indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against our directors or officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against any of our current or former directors or officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even if such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us or our stockholders.

Dividend policy

We have never paid cash dividends on either our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock. Under Delaware law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Delaware statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however, the capital of our company, computed in accordance with the relevant Delaware statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits and dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired.

In addition, under the terms of the Financing Agreement, we are prohibited from declaring and paying dividends on our capital stock.

Recent sales of unregistered securities

On January 28, 2016 we sold 500,000 shares of our Class A common stock to six accredited investors in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of that act. We received proceeds of $500,000 and did not pay any commissions or finder's fees. We are using the proceeds for working capital.

On February 23, 2016 we issued an aggregate of 50,000 shares of our Class A common stock valued at $70,000 as partial compensation for services under the terms of a consulting agreement. The recipients were accredited or otherwise sophisticated investors with access to business and financial information on our company. The issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of that act.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for 2015 and 2014 and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.

Overview

We are an Internet advertising and platform technology company that provides tools to automate the digital advertising market. We have built technologies and leveraged partner technologies that service social media and the real-time bidding (RTB) markets. Our focus is to provide technology tools that enable both publishers and advertisers to maximize their digital advertising initiatives. We derive our revenues from:

·

sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;

·

sales of media inventory through RTB exchanges;

·

sale and licensing of our SRAX Social platform and related media; and,

·

creation of custom platforms for buying media on SRAX for large brands.

The core elements of our business are:

·

Social Reality Ad Exchange or "SRAX" – Real Time Bidding sell side and buy side representation is our technology which assists publishers in delivering their media inventory to the real time bidding, or RTB, exchanges. The SRAX platform integrates multiple market-leading demand sources including OpenX, Pubmatic and AppNexus. We also build custom platforms that allow our agency partners to launch and manage their own RTB campaigns by enabling them to directly place advertising orders on the platform dashboard and view and analyze results as they occur;

·

SRAX MD is our ad targeting and data platform for healthcare brands, agencies and medical content publishers. Healthcare and pharmaceutical publishers utilize the platform for yield optimization, audience extension campaigns and re-targeting of their healthcare professional audience. Agencies and brands purchase targeted digital and mobile ad campaigns;

·

SRAX Social, is a social media and loyalty platform that allows brands to launch and manage their social media initiatives. Our team works with customers to identify their needs and then helps them in the creation, deployment and management of their social media presence; and

·

SRAX APP, a recently launched new product, which is a platform that allows publishers and content owners to launch native mobile applications through our SRAX platform.

We offer our customers a number of pricing options including cost-per-thousand-impression ("CPM"), whereby our customers pay based on the number of times the target audience is exposed to the advertisement, and cost-per-engagement ("CPE"), whereby payment is triggered only when an individual takes a specific activity.

16

During the second quarter of 2015 we launched the SRAX App, a free platform that provides online publishers an opportunity to distribute their content via a branded mobile application that updates automatically as they publish new content to their website. The platform also allows publishers the opportunity to bring in influencer feeds from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter that are relevant to their content. In 2015 we also completed the technology needed to both operate the buy side of our SRAX platform and the buy side of SRAX MD, and launched our SRAX APP which we expect to begin contributing to our revenues in a meaningful basis during the second half of 2016. Lastly, in 2015 we also combined our GroupAd, SRAX DI and Five Delta offerings and rebranded these offerings as SRAX Social. During 2016 we expect to continue to enhance all of our technology offerings of SRAX, SRAX Social, SRAX MD and SRAX APP. We are now in the marketing and monetization phases of these technologies and our efforts are focused on the continued growth of our sales and marketing efforts of these platforms.

Revenue

Increases in our revenues in 2015 from 2014 are due to growth in both the sell-side products, and buy-side products, as well as reporting operations for Steel Media for a full 12 month period.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue consists of certain labor costs, payments to website publishers and others that are directly related to a revenue-generating event and project and application design costs. During 2015 we have continued to benefit from an increase in our gross margins as a result of the decrease in our cost of revenue. Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue decreased to 47.6% for 2015 as compared to 54.5% for 2014. This decrease is due to the mix of higher-margin products. Approximately 99% of cost of revenue for 2015 was attributable to payments to website publishers and other media providers as compared to 95% for 2014. The balance was attributable to labor costs and project and application design costs. As we continue to grow the revenue from our buy-side and sell-side product offerings, we expect that our blended gross margins will remain in the range of 40% to 50% in 2016.

Operating expense

Our operating expenses are comprised of salaries, commissions, marketing and general overhead expenses. Overall, our operating expense increased 145% for 2015 from 2014. Included in the overall increase is an increase of approximately 104% in our operating expenses which is attributable to operating expenses of Steel Media for a 12 months versus two months in 2014. Our other historic operating expenses have increased as we have increased our technical team, our sales team and our marketing efforts in support of the growth of our company.

Interest income (expense)

Interest expense in 2015 represents costs associated with the note issued to Mr. Steel as partial consideration for the purchase of Steel Media together with the notes issued under the Financing Agreement described elsewhere in this report. The expense also includes amortization of debt costs and the accretion of contingent consideration and the put liability associated with the Steel Media acquisition. While we satisfied the note to Mr. Steel in October 2015, we expect our interest expense will continue to increase during 2016 from 2015 as a result of increased borrowings under the Financing Agreement.

Quarterly results of operations data

The following table set forth our unaudited quarterly statements of operations data for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. We have prepared the quarterly data on a consistent basis with the audited consolidated financial statements included in this report. In the opinion of management, the unaudited quarterly financial information reflects all necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of this data. This information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. The results of historical periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year or any future period.

Non-GAAP financial measures

We use Adjusted net (loss) to measure our overall results because we believe it better reflects our net results by excluding the impact of non-cash equity based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our operations by excluding interest and certain additional non-cash expenses. We believe the presentation of Adjusted net (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA enhances our investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of our business.

You should not consider Adjusted net (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. A directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted net (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA is net (loss). The following is a reconciliation of net (loss) to Adjusted net (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

	For the Three Months Ended December 31,						For the Years Ended December 31,

Liquidity and capital resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. As of December 31, 2015 we had approximately $1,100,000 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $8,102,330, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,843,000 and a deficit in working capital of $4,396,240 at December 31, 2014. Our current assets increased 43% at December 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014 which is primarily attributable to an increase in our accounts receivable as a result in the revenue growth. Our current liabilities increased 61% at December 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014 which is the result of several factors, including the increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses associated with our growth, as well as increased borrowings under the Financing Agreement, and reclassifications of contingent consideration, which represents the earn outs Mr. Steel may receive, and a put liability related to the warrant issued in connection with the Financing Agreement into current liabilities as a result of the due dates of these possible obligations. These increases were offset by a decline of $2.5 million in notes payable related party representing the payment of the note to Mr. Steel during the fourth quarter of 2015. In addition, during January 2016 we paid Mr. Steel $4 million of the contingent consideration representing his first year earn out payment.

Our principal sources of operating capital have historically been equity and debt financing. During 2014 we raised additional capital of approximately $5,049,000 in net proceeds through the sale of our equity securities. Subsequent to December 31, 2015 we have raised an additional $500,000 through the sale of our equity securities. During the fourth quarter of 2014 we entered into the Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders which is described below. In May 2015 we entered into the First Amendment to Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders. Under the terms of the amendment, the leverage ratio, senior leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and interest coverage ratio under the Financing Agreement were all modified, and the minimum current ratio was reduced. The amendment also modified our obligations with respect to the delivery of certain reports, certain representations by us as well as clarifying other additional terms by which the loan is administered.

The Financing Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $20 million. As of March 1, 2016 we have drawn a total of $14 million under the Financial Agreement, of which $9 million was used in connection with the initial acquisition of Steel Media in 2014, an additional $1.4 million was used in the payment of the Steel Note at its maturity in October 2015 and $1.6 million was used for the cash portion of the first year earnout payment to Mr. Steel in January 2016. The balance of the funds we have drawn under the Financing Agreement have been used for working capital. During 2015 we also made payments to VPC against the draws aggregating $1.9 million.

We do not have any commitments for capital expenditures. The terms of the Financing Agreement requires us to allocate a significant portion of our expected future cash flow to satisfying obligations under that agreements. Under the terms of the Financing Agreement, we are obligated to make:

·

monthly interest payments, inclusive of payment-in-kind, or PIK interest, of approximately $140,000,

·

quarterly amortization payments of 2.5% of principal in year one of the loan, resulting in principal payments of approximately $225,000 per quarter in the first year of the loan, increasing to 5% of principal in year two of the loan and further increasing to 10% of principal in year three of the loan;

·

quarterly mandatory prepayments on the loan, in an amount calculated as 50% of excess cash flow as defined in the Financing Agreement, of EBITDA less amortization and interest payments, plus associated prepayment penalties;

·

payments of proceeds from asset sales, proceeds of debt or equity financings, certain extraordinary receipts (including tax refunds and indemnification payments received in connection with any acquisition), and the proceeds of any taking or destruction of collateral; and

·

other selected cash outlays, such as late charges, yield maintenance premiums, costs and expenses

In August 2015, Victory Park Management, LLC as agent for the lenders waived the excess cash flow payment for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

19

Additionally, under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of Steel Media, we are potentially obligated to pay Mr. Steel up to two $4 million annual earn out payments based upon the satisfaction of certain targets generated by Steel Media operations for the periods ending October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2016. The adjusted EBITDA targets which must be met in order for Mr. Steel to earn these additional amounts are approximately $4.1 million for the 2015 period and approximately $4.9 million for the 2016 period. The EBITDA target for the first earnout period ended October 31, 2015 was achieved and in January 2016 we paid Mr. Steel $4 million, of which $1.6 million was paid in cash and the balance was paid through the issuance of shares of our Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. If the 2016 earnout target is met, the cash payment we will need to make to Mr. Steel will reduce the funds which may be used for our debt service obligations and for working capital needs. Any failure on our part to make any earn out payment which may be due Mr. Steel could result in an event of default under the Financing Agreement.

The net effect of these required payments under the Financing Agreement and the Steel Note, while it remained outstanding, as well as the earn out payments to Mr. Steel, is anticipated to equal the majority of the cash flow generated from Steel Media’s operations. Following the satisfaction of the Steel Note in October 2015, to the extent that we are able to increase the earnings attributable to Steel Media, we are paying down the notes issued under the Financing Agreement.

Other than cash generated from operations and the Financing Agreement, we do not have any external sources of liquidity. While the Financing Agreement provides that we can borrow up to $20 million in total, our ability to access any additional funds under it is at the discretion of the lender, and there can be no assurance the lender will agree to lend us any additional amounts. In the event of a default by us under the terms of the Financing Agreement, remedies for the lender range from notice and cure, to acceleration of both principal and interest. Our operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable us to service our debt. Upon an event of default under the Financing Agreement, if we were unable to cure the default within the prescribed periods, if at all, the lender could increase our interest rates or accelerate all amounts then due. If we were unable to repay these obligations, the lender could foreclose on our assets and collateral, in which case our ability to continue our business and operations as then conducted would be in jeopardy. If the lender should foreclose on our assets, it is likely you would lose your entire investment in our company.

If we are able to significantly increase our revenues and cash flows from operations, we should have sufficient internally generated working capital to satisfy these obligations and fund our ongoing business. If, however, we are not successful in these efforts and we are not able to access additional funding under the Financing Agreement, it is possible we will need to delay or scale back our growth plans.

Net Cash Provided (Used) in Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $739,066 during 2015 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2,481,551 for 2014. The period to period change was primarily attributable to a decrease in net loss (after adjusting for non-cash expenses) and increases in our accounts payable and other liabilities partially offset by increases in our accounts receivable and prepayments.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

We used $33,616 for the purchase of furniture and equipment during 2015, with $1,974,818 used during 2014, which included costs associated with the acquisition of Steel Media.

Net Cash (Used) Provided by Financing Activities

During 2015 net cash used in financing activities was $1,457,657 which represented the proceeds from draws under the Financing Agreement, net of costs and repayments including the satisfaction of the Steel Note. During 2014, we received $3,952,847 from the sale of our securities and paid costs of $16,291 associated with the sales. We received $1,227,601 in proceeds from the Financing Agreement and paid costs of $579,659.

Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC as agent for the lenders

On October 30, 2014, we entered into the Financing Agreement, which, as amended in May 2015, provides for borrowings of up to $20 million to be evidenced by notes issued thereunder, which are secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in substantially all of our assets, including those of our subsidiaries, and a pledge of 100% of the equity interests of each of our domestic subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of a Pledge and Security Agreement. At December 31, 2015 we had drawn $11.9 million under the Financing Agreement and have drawn an additional $2.1 million during the first quarter of 2016. During 2015 we made payments against the draws aggregating $1.9 million. The Financing Agreement contains covenants limiting, among other things, indebtedness, liens, transfers or sales of assets, distributions or dividends, and merger or consolidation activity. The notes issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of:

·

cash interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and

·

payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest at a rate of 4% per annum for the period commencing on October 30, 2014 and extending through the last day of the calendar month during which our financial statements for December 31, 2014 were delivered. The PIK interest rate thereafter from time to time may be adjusted based on the ratio of our consolidated indebtedness to our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

If we achieve a reduction in the leverage ratio as described in the Financing Agreement, the PIK interest rate declines on a sliding scale from 4% to 2%. The notes issued under the Financing Agreement are scheduled to mature on October 30, 2017.

The Financing Agreement provides for our subsidiaries to join the Financing Agreement from time to time as borrowers and cross guarantors thereunder. Immediately after our acquisition of Steel Media on October 30, 2014, Steel Media executed a joinder agreement under which it became a borrower under the Financing Agreement. In addition, immediately after our acquisition of Five Delta on December 19, 2014, Five Delta executed a joinder agreement under which it became a borrower under the Financing Agreement.

Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, on October 30, 2014, we also issued to the lender a five-year warrant to purchase 2,900,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment, which we refer to as the Financing Warrant. The exercise price of the Financing Warrant is payable, at the option of the warrant holder, in cash or through a reduction in the principal outstanding under the notes issued under the terms of the Financing Agreement. The warrant holder may not, however, exercise the Financing Warrant for a number of shares of Class A common stock that would cause such holder to beneficially own shares of Class A common stock in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock following such exercise. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrant and the exercise price therefor are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar corporate events. Pursuant to the Financing Warrant, the warrant holder has the right, at any time after the earlier of April 30, 2016 and the maturity date of the notes issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement, but prior to October 30, 2019, to exercise its put right under the terms of the Financing Warrant, pursuant to which the warrant holder may sell to us all or any portion of the Financing Warrant that has not been previously exercised. In connection with any exercise of this put right, the purchase price will be equal to an amount based upon the percentage of the Financing Warrant for which the put right is being exercised, multiplied by the lesser of 50% of the total of our consolidated revenue for the trailing 12-month period ending with our then-most recently completed fiscal quarter, or $1,500,000. As contemplated under the Financing Agreement, on October 30, 2014 we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the holder of the Financing Warrant, pursuant to which we granted the holder certain "piggyback" rights to register the shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrant. We registered the resale all of the shares underlying the Financing Warrant pursuant to a registration statement which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2015.

As part of the arrangements under the Financing Agreement, Victory Park Management, LLC, Mr. Steel, and Social Reality and Steel Media also entered into a Subordination Agreement under which Mr. Steel has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, to subordinate to the lenders and holders of notes issued under the Financing Agreement and the Financing Warrant certain obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness, including, without limitation, payments of earn out consideration owed to him as described later in this report under "Our Business – Acquisition of Steel Media."

Critical accounting policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for 2015 appearing elsewhere in this report.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

Off balance sheet arrangements

As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We are required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our principal financial and accounting officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

22

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as a result of material weaknesses.

These material weaknesses included:

·

a lack of experienced, qualified accounting staff;

·

inadequate controls and segregation of duties;

·

limited checks and balances in processing cash transactions;

·

substantial reliance on manual reporting processes and spreadsheets external to the accounting system;

·

our lack of a majority of independent directors on our Board and the lack of an independent audit committee of our board of directors;

·

lack of adequate controls in the delivery and procurement of intangible inventory, products and services; and

·

the existence of sophisticated, material financial transactions which are heavily dependent upon the use of estimates and assumptions and our lack of experience in monitoring and administering a complex financing agreement with a third-party lender.

The existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting increases the risk that a future restatement of our financials is possible. We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, during the first quarter of 2016 we expanded our board of directors with the appointment of Mr. Dillman. During the balance of the year we expect to continue to improve our financial organization through the establishment of an audit committee comprised of independent directors and the engagement of a full time Chief Financial Officer.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary, we do not expect, however, that the deficiencies in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have remediated the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board of directors

Each director is elected at our annual meeting of stockholders and holds office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified. If any director resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve out his or her term, or if the Board increases the number of directors, the Board may fill any vacancy by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. Vacancies occurring by reason of the removal of directors without cause may only be filled by vote of the stockholders.

Director qualifications

The following is a discussion for each director of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that our board of directors to conclude that the individual should be serving as a director of our company.

Christopher Miglino – Mr. Miglino's role as a co-founder of our company, his operational experience in our company as well as his professional experience in our business sector were factors considered by the Board.

Erin DeRuggiero – Ms. DeRuggiero's advertising, sales and business development experience in digital based companies and her role as a co-founder of our company were factors considered by the Board.

Richard Steel – Mr. Steel's role as a founder of Steel Media, his operational experience with Steel Media as well as his significant marketing and advertising industry experience were factors considered by the Board.

Kristoffer Nelson – Mr. Nelson's significant operational experience in multiple aspects of our company coupled with his experience at Living Full Blast, Inc. and Krama Consulting & Development were factors considered by the Board.

Marc Savas – Mr. Savas' management consulting and operational experience were factors considered by the Board.

Malcolm Casselle – Mr. Casselle's entrepreneurial background and experience as a Board member for other companies were factors considered by the Board.

26

Martin A. Sumichrast – Mr. Sumichrast's experience both as an investor and advisor, as well as his experience as a member of a board of directors of a listed company were factors considered by the Board.

Rodney J. Dillman – Mr. Dillman's experience during his law practice together with his experience as a member of the board of directors, including committees of those board, of a number of public and private companies were factors considered by the Board.

In addition to the each of the individual skills and backgrounds described above, the Board also concluded that each of these individuals will continue to provide knowledgeable advice to our other directors and to senior management on numerous issues facing our company and on the development and execution of our strategy.

Board leadership structure and board's role in risk oversight

The board of directors oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of management. Four of the eight members of our board of directors are independent directors. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, the independent directors do not involve themselves in day-to-day operations. The independent directors keep themselves informed through discussions with our Chief Executive Officer and by reading the reports and other materials that we send them and by participating in meeting of the board of directors. Our independent directors may meet at any time in their sole discretion without any other directors or representatives of management present. Each independent director has access to the members of our management team or other employees as well as full access to our books and records. We have no policy limiting, and exert no control over, meetings of our independent directors. Our Board believes our current structure provides independence and oversight and facilitates the communication between senior management and the full board of directors regarding risk oversight, which the Board believes strengthens its risk oversight activities. While we do not presently have a lead independent director, as we begin expanding committees of our Board we expect to appoint a lead independent director.

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while the Board, as a whole, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. Additionally, the independent directors meet with management to discuss strategy and risks we face.

Committees of the board of directors; stockholder nominations; audit committee financial expert

In August 2015 we established a Nominating and Compensation Committee of our Board which is to be comprised of at least two independent directors. Following the establishment of the committee, Messrs. Sumichrast and Savas were appointed as its initial members and Mr. Sumichrast was named as Chairman. In February 2016 Mr. Casselle was appointed to the committee. The Nominating and Compensation Committee is charged with reviewing the current compensation structure of Board members as well as our senior management and making recommendations to the full Board for any changes in these compensation structures, as well as identifying additional candidates to serve as independent directors. We have not established an Audit Committee or any committee performing similar functions. The functions of that committee during 2015 were undertaken by our board of directors as a whole. We expect to establish an Audit Committee of the Board during 2016 which will be comprised of three independent directors.

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our board of directors or the recently constituted Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Board established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees, nor do we have a policy regarding director diversity. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors. Given our relative size, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees. In considering a director nominee, it is likely that our Board will consider the professional and/or educational background of any nominee with a view towards how this person might bring a different viewpoint or experience to our Board.

27

Each of Messrs. Sumichrast and Dillman are considered an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an "audit committee financial expert" is an individual member of the audit committee or board of directors who:

·

·

has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements;

·

understands internal controls over financial reporting; and

·

understands audit committee functions.

Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include "independent" directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our board of directors.

Employment agreements and how the executive’s compensation is determined

We are a party to an employment agreement with each of Messrs. Miglino, Steel and Holsinger which provide the compensation arrangements with these individuals. We have not engaged a compensation consultant or other consultant performing similar functions to advise our company on compensation arrangements for our executive officers and directors. Following is a discussion of the terms of our employment agreements with Messrs. Miglino, Steel and Holsinger.

30

Employment Agreement with Mr. Miglino

We employ Christopher Miglino as our Chief Executive Officer for a term of four years pursuant to an employment agreement entered into on January 1, 2012. The employment agreement automatically renews for successive two year terms unless either party provides notice of non-renewal not later than three months before the conclusion of the then current term. As compensation for his services, Mr. Miglino is entitled to receive a base salary of $192,000 which is subject to an annual review. During 2012, in an effort to conserve our cash resources, Mr. Miglino agreed to a temporary reduction in his annual base salary to $60,000, which was increased to $90,000 during the fourth quarter of 2013. Mr. Miglino's annual base salary for the 2015 was $114,000. He has agreed to accept this reduced compensation until such time as we have sufficient cash resources to return his compensation to the contracted levels. In addition, he is eligible to receive an annual bonus based upon the achievement of certain to-be-established goals fixed by the Board, which is payable in cash or non-cash compensation as determined by the Board, as well as a discretionary bonus as determined by the Board. Mr. Miglino is entitled to participate in all benefit plans we may offer, up to 45 days of paid vacation annually and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in furtherance of our business.

The employment agreement may be terminated upon Mr. Miglino's death, by us with or without cause or by him with or without good reason. In the event of a termination as a result of Mr. Miglino's death, by him without good reason, or by us for cause, we are obligated to pay:

·

the portion of his base salary which has been accrued prior to termination but which has not yet been paid;

·

to the extent required by law, an amount equal to the value of his accrued but unused vacation days,

·

the amount of any expenses properly incurred by him but which have not yet been reimbursed,

·

the amount of any annual bonus related to the most recently completed fiscal year if not already paid, and providing the termination is not by us for cause,

·

any accrued but unused vacation days, and

·

any discretionary bonus previously awarded if not already paid and providing that the termination is not by us for cause.

We refer to these amounts as the Miglino Accrued Obligations. In addition, should we terminate Mr. Miglino's employment as a result of his disability, we are also obligated to pay him an amount equal to 24 months’ of his then base salary in addition to the Miglino Accrued Obligations. All such amounts are due promptly following termination. If we should terminate Mr. Miglino's employment without cause, or he terminates for good reason, in addition to the Miglino Accrued Obligations we are obligated to pay him a total amount equal to 24 months of his then current base salary, payable in accordance with our usual payroll practices, and continue to provide medical coverage for Mr. Miglino and his family, subject to his payment of a premium co-pay. In addition, the portion of any unvested or restricted securities then held by Mr. Miglino will vest and become immediately exercisable on the termination date.

For the purposes of the employment agreement, “cause” generally means:

·

intentionally committing an unlawful act that materially harms us,

·

gross negligence or willful failure or refusal to follow Board directives,

·

conviction of, or a guilty plea, to a felony or commitment of any act involving moral turpitude,

·

a breach of any material provision of the employment agreement, or any nondisclosure or noncompetition agreement, including the hereinafter described proprietary information, inventions and competition agreement, or

·

a breach of any material provision of our Code of Ethics and Conduct.

For the purposes of the employment agreement, “good reason” generally means:

·

change in the principal location at which Mr. Miglino performs duties for us of more than 40 miles without his consent, or

·

material change in the executive’s authority, functions, duties or responsibilities.

Mr. Miglino also executed separate proprietary information, inventions and competition agreement and an indemnification agreement with us.

31

Employment Agreement with Mr. Steel

On October 30, 2014, we entered into an employment agreement with Richard Steel pursuant to which he was engaged to serve as our President. The initial term of the agreement expires on October 30, 2018, subject to automatic 12 month extensions unless a non-renewal notice is received by either party at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the then current renewal term. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Steel is to be nominated as a member of our board of directors during the term. Mr. Steel’s compensation includes:

·

·

paid time off of 30 days per calendar year, subject to accrual limitations.

The employment agreement provides that if the guaranteed annual cash bonus and the cash portion of any annual discretionary bonus would result in a reduction of the earn out consideration due him under the terms of the acquisition agreement for Steel Media which is described earlier in this report which may otherwise be payable to Mr. Steel by an amount greater than the sum of (i) the guaranteed annual cash bonus and (ii) the cash portion of the annual discretionary bonus, then the applicable portion of the guaranteed annual cash bonus and/or cash portion of the annual discretionary bonus resulting in such reduction will not be paid for the applicable period.

·

if we should terminate Mr. Steel’s employment without “cause” or if he should resign for “good reason" we are obligated to pay him the Accrued Obligations and the Steel Severance Amount (both as defined below) in equal amounts over the 18 month period following the termination date, any unvested options or restricted stock awards granted him will immediately vest and he will be entitled to exercise such options for up to 12 months following the termination date, and if he should elect COBRA coverage, we agreed to waive the cost of such coverage during the severance period. Under the terms of the employment agreement with Mr. Steel, “good reason” generally means:

·

a reduction in his duties or responsibilities;

·

the failure of our stockholders to appoint him to the Board within 60 days of the date of the agreement, or his removal from the Board, in each case without his consent;

Compensation plans

We currently have three compensation plans, our 2012 Equity Compensation Plan which we refer to as the 2012 Plan, our 2014 Equity Compensation Plan which we refer to as the 2014 Plan and our 2016 Equity Compensation Plan which we refer to as the 2016 Plan. The 2012 Plan was approved by our stockholders in January 2012. The 2014 Plan was adopted by our board of directors in November 2014 and the 2016 Plan was approved by our Board in February 2016. The purpose of the plans is attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to our employees, directors and consultants and to promote the success of our company’s business. We have reserved 3,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock for issuance under each of these plans.

The terms of the plans are identical and both plans are administered by our board of directors. Plan options may either be:

·

incentive stock options (ISOs);

·

non-qualified options (NSOs);

·

awards of our Class A common stock;

·

stock appreciation rights (SARs);

·

restricted stock units (RSUs);

·

performance units;

·

performance shares; and

·

other stock-based awards.

Any option granted under the plans must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, but the exercise price of any ISO granted under the 2012 Plan to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding Class A common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. As we did not obtain stockholder approval of the 2014 Plan prior to the one year anniversary of the date of its adoption by our board of directors, all plan options under that plan are limited to NSOs and all previously granted ISOs automatically converted to NSOs. The plan further provides that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the Class A common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any option holder during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. The exercise price of any NSO granted under the plans is determined by the Board at the time of grant, but must be at least equal to fair market value on the date of grant. The term of each plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the board of directors or the compensation committee, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the Class A common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The terms of grants of any other type of award under the plans is determined by the Board at the time of grant. Subject to the limitation on the aggregate number of shares issuable under the plan, there is no maximum or minimum number of shares as to which a stock grant or plan option may be granted to any person.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Social Reality, Inc.

Los Angeles, CA

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Social Reality, Inc. (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We have conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Social Reality, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Social Reality, Inc. ("Social Reality", "we", "us" or "the Company") is a Delaware corporation formed on August 2, 2011. Effective January 1, 2012 we acquired all of the member interests and operations of Social Reality, LLC, a California limited liability company formed on August 14, 2009, which began business in May of 2010, in exchange for 12,328,767 shares of our Class A and Class B common stock. The former members of Social Reality, LLC owned all of our common stock after the acquisition.

At Social Reality, we sell digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands. We have developed technology that allows brands to launch and manage digital advertising campaigns, and we provide the platform that allows website publishers to sell their media inventory to a number of digital adverting buyers. Our focus is to provide technology tools that enable both publishers and advertisers to maximize their digital advertising initiatives. We derive our revenues from:

· sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;

· sales of media inventory owned by our publishing partners through real-time bidding, or RTB, exchanges;

· sale and licensing of our SRAX Social platform and related media; and,

· creation of custom platforms for buying media on SRAX for large brands.

The core elements of this business are:

· Social Reality Ad Exchange or "SRAX" – Real Time Bidding sell side and buy side representation is our technology which assists publishers in delivering their media inventory to the real time bidding, or RTB, exchanges.  The SRAX platform integrates multiple market-leading demand sources. We also build custom platforms that allow our agency partners to launch and manage their own RTB campaigns by enabling them to directly place advertising orders on the platform dashboard and view and analyze results as they occur;

· SRAX MD is our ad targeting and data platform for healthcare brands, agencies and medical content publishers. Healthcare and pharmaceutical publishers utilize the platform for yield optimization, audience extension campaigns and re-targeting of their healthcare professional audience. Agencies and brands purchase targeted digital and mobile ad campaigns;

· SRAXSocial, is a social media and loyalty platform that allows brands to launch and manage their social media initiatives. Our team works with customers to identify their needs and then helps them in the creation, deployment and management of their social media presence; and.

·  SRAX APP, a recently launched new product, which is a platform that allows publishers and content owners to launch native mobile applications through our SRAX platform.

We offer our customers a number of pricing options including cost-per-thousand-impression ("CPM"), whereby our customers pay based on the number of times the target audience is exposed to the advertisement, and cost-per-engagement ("CPE"), whereby payment is triggered only when an individual takes a specific activity.

Social Reality is also an approved Facebook advertising partner, through Facebook’s PMD (Preferred Marketing Developer) program. We sell targeted and measurable online advertising campaigns and programs to brand advertisers and advertising agencies across large Facebook apps and websites, generating qualified Facebook likes and quantifiable engagement for our clients, driving online sales and increased brand equity.

We are headquartered in Los Angeles, California.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries from the acquisition date of majority voting control and through the date of disposition, if any.

Use of Estimates

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") require management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The most significant areas that require management judgment and which are susceptible to possible change in the near term include the Company's revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and sales credits, stock-based compensation, income taxes, purchase price for acquisition, goodwill, other intangible assets, put rights and valuation of liabilities. The accounting policies for these areas are discussed elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, no significant Company obligations remain, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured, and the fees are fixed or determinable. The Company acts as a principal in its revenue transactions as the Company is the primary obligor in the transactions. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis, and media and publisher expenses that are directly related to a revenue-generating event are recorded as a component of cost of revenue.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of payments to media providers and website publishers that are directly related to a revenue-generating event and project and application design costs. The Company becomes obligated to make payments related to media providers and website publishers in the period the advertising impressions, click-throughs, actions or lead-based information are delivered or occur. Such expenses are classified as cost of revenue in the corresponding period in which the revenue is recognized in the accompanying income statement.

Accounts Receivable

Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Management periodically assesses the Company's accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $135,442 and $52,338 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Supplier Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in the United States. The balances in the United States held at any one financial institution are generally in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. The uninsured cash bank balances were approximately $591,000 at December 31, 2015. The Company has not experienced any loss on these accounts. The balances are maintained in demand accounts to minimize risk.

At December 31, 2015, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, for a total of 38%. For the year ended December 31, 2015 one customer accounted for 48% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2014 no one customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue. However, 38% of our revenue was collected and paid to us by three of our RTB exchange service providers.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at historical cost. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets of three years.

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations. Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment for impairment.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of intellectual property and a non-complete agreement and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for on the straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets of five to six years.

Business Combinations

For all business combinations (whether partial, full or step acquisitions), the Company records 100% of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values; contingent consideration, if any, is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings until settlement and acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs are expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition.

Goodwill

Our goodwill consists of the excess purchase price paid in business combinations over the fair value of assets acquired. Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life.

The Company employs the non-amortization approach to account for goodwill. Under the non-amortization approach, goodwill is not amortized into the results of operations, but instead is reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, to assess whether the fair value exceeds the carrying value. The Company performs its annual goodwill and impairment assessment on September 30 of each year.

SOCIAL REALITY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

When evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill we first assess a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company's products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of the Company's reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then proceed to a two-step impairment testing methodology using the income approach (discounted cash flow method).

In the first step of the two step testing methodology, we compare the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined by its estimated discounted cash flows. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we then complete the second step of the impairment test to determine the amount of impairment to be recognized. In the second step, we estimate an implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities other than goodwill (including any unrecognized intangible assets). If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the difference in that period.

When required, we arrive at our estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology which includes estimates of future cash flows to be generated by particular assets, as well as selecting a discount rate to measure the present value of those anticipated cash flows. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and includes making assumptions about projected growth rates, industry-specific factors, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.

No impairment of goodwill has been recorded in 2015.

Long-lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time; and changes in the Company's business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairments have been recorded in 2015 or 2014.

Loss Per Share

We use ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share" for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and warrants and stock awards. For periods with a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, in that any potential common stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the computation of net loss per share.

There were 13,097,016 common share equivalents at December 31, 2015 and 13,096,470 at December 31, 2014. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

Income Taxes

We utilize ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at year-end based on enacted laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock based compensation under ASC 718 "Compensation – Stock Compensation" using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

Business Segments

The Company uses the "management approach" to identify its reportable segments. The management approach designates the internal organization used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company's reportable segments. Using the management approach, the Company determined that it has one operating segment due to business similarities and similar economic characteristics.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS.

Acquisition of Steel Media

On October 30, 2014, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Steel Media, a California corporation ("Steel Media"), from Richard Steel pursuant to the terms and conditions of a stock purchase agreement, dated October 30, 2014, by and among the Company, Steel Media and Mr. Steel (the "Stock Purchase Agreement").

The acquisition of Steel Media is intended to complement and augment the current operations of Social Reality. Together, the companies offer and deliver improved performance and technology for digital advertising buy-side and sell-side solutions, delivered to agencies, brands and publishers by our combined digital sales team. We expect that the integration of Steel Media into the Company's operations will enhance the quality of our technology and service.

SOCIAL REALITY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

As consideration for the purchase of Steel Media, we agreed to pay Mr. Steel up to $20 million, consisting of: (i) a cash payment at closing of $7.5 million; (ii) a cash payment of $2 million which is being held in escrow to satisfy certain indemnification obligations to the extent such arise under the Stock Purchase Agreement; (iii) a one year secured subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $2.5 million (the "Note") which was secured by 2,386,863 shares of our Class A common stock (the "Escrow Shares"); and (iv) a earnout payments of up to $8 million (the "Earnout Consideration"). We have recorded the Earnout Consideration at its present value of $6,584,042. Changes in the value will be recorded through the statement of operations. The total acquisition price aggregated $18,584,042.

The Earnout Consideration is payable upon the attainment of certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") targets of Steel Media during the two year period following the closing, 60% of which may be satisfied in shares of Social Reality's Class A common stock subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Further, in the event of (i) a change of control of the Company or Steel Media or (ii) Mr. Steel's termination without "cause" or resignation for "good reason" (each as defined in Mr. Steel's employment agreement (as hereinafter described)) during the two year period following the closing, we are obligated to pay Mr. Steel 100% of the Earnout Consideration (less any amount previously paid to Mr. Steel). To the extent we are prohibited from paying any Earnout Consideration in cash and Mr. Steel is prohibited from receiving same under the terms of the Subordination Agreement (as hereinafter defined) described below, Mr. Steel has the right to request that the Company pay him the prohibited cash earnout payment in shares of the Company's Class A common stock.

The Note issued to Mr. Steel at the closing bore interest at the rate of 5% per annum and the principal and accrued interest was due and payable on October 30, 2015.

The obligations under the Note were subordinated to the Company's obligations under the Financing Agreement (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement (as hereinafter described) and were secured by the Escrow Shares. In October 2015 the Note was paid in full and the Escrow Shares were cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares.

On October, 30, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Steel Media, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with Mr. Steel pursuant to which the Company agreed to register any Earnout Shares issued to him or Escrow Shares released to him. The Company granted Mr. Steel demand registration rights over the Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares which he may exercise 180 days after such shares are issued or released to him. In addition, Mr. Steel has the right to include any Earnout Shares issued to him or Escrow Shares released to him in registration statements for offerings by the Company as well as offerings of the Company's Class A common stock held by third parties.  Following the cancellation of the Escrow Shares upon satisfaction of the Note the Registration Rights Agreement now only covers the Earnout Shares.

The final accounting for the acquisition of Steel Media has been completed during the third quarter of 2015. The final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values is as follows:

Cash	$	32,038
Accounts receivable and other assets		2,975,728
Equipment		7,777
Non-compete agreement		1,250,000

Acquisition of Five Delta, Inc.

On December 19, 2014 we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Five Delta, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Five Delta"), in exchange for 600,000 shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Acquisition and Exchange Agreement dated December 19, 2014 (the "Five Delta Agreement") by and among Social Reality, Five Delta and the stockholders of Five Delta. The acquisition price was $756,000.

Five Delta was a managed advertising service that used proprietary technology and methods to optimize digital advertising for its customers. Five Delta primarily utilized high quality first party data from major platforms like Facebook, Yahoo, LinkedIn and Google in optimization decisions. Five Delta's goal was to maximize marketing budget utility while simultaneously reporting clear and actionable information to its clients.

The acquisition of Five Delta is intended to complement and augment the current operations of Social Reality and Steel Media through the integration of its proprietary technology and methods into our operations.

Under the terms of the Five Delta Agreement, 300,000 shares of the Class A common stock (the "Five Delta Escrow Shares") were deposited in escrow by the holders with the escrow agent pending satisfaction of certain post-closing conditions as described in the agreement. If these post-closing conditions are not satisfied by the second annual anniversary of the closing date, all or a portion of the Five Delta Escrow Shares were subject to forfeiture. While the Five Delta Escrow Shares remained in escrow, the holders granted Mr. Chris Miglino, our Chief Executive Officer, a voting proxy over the Five Delta Escrow Shares. The post-closing conditions were satisfied and the Five Delta Escrow Shares were released from escrow in December 2015. The Five Delta stockholders also granted us a right of first refusal over the shares of our Class A common stock tendered as consideration for a four year period from the closing date.

The Five Delta stockholders also entered into 24 month Lock Up Agreements at the closing of the Five Delta Agreement. The Lock Up Agreements provide that one-half of our shares of Class A common stock acquired in the transaction will be released from the lock up on the one year anniversary of the closing date, with the balance released on the two year anniversary of the closing date. Following the release of any of the shares from the Lock Up Agreement, the holders agreed to limit the resale of such shares based upon a numerical formula tied to the trading volume of our Class A common stock and agreed that all permitted resales will be made at the then current bid price of our Class A common stock. The lock up automatically terminates upon a change of control of our company.

The Company has determined that the acquisition of Five Delta is an asset purchase, rather than the acquisition of a business. The only asset acquired was the intellectual property owned by Five Delta, and that property has been integrated into our operations. We acquired no other assets, customers, facilities or operations.

Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC as agent for the lenders

On October 30, 2014 (the "Financing Agreement Closing Date"), the Company entered into a financing agreement (the "Financing Agreement") with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and holders of notes and warrants issued thereunder (the "Agent"). The Financing Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $20 million to be evidenced by notes issued thereunder, which are secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (including Steel Media) and a pledge of 100% of the equity interests of each domestic subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the terms of a pledge and security agreement (the "Pledge and Security Agreement") entered into by the Company on the Financing Agreement Closing Date (which was joined by Steel Media immediately after the Company's acquisition of Steel Media). The Financing Agreement contains covenants limiting, among other things, indebtedness, liens, transfers or sales of assets, distributions or dividends, and merger or consolidation activity. The notes (the "Financing Notes") issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement, including the note issued to the lender thereunder in the original aggregate principal amount of $9 million on the Financing Agreement Closing Date (the "Initial Financing Note"), bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) cash interest at a rate of 10% per annum and (2) payment-in-kind (PIK) interest at a rate of 4% per annum for the period commencing on the Financing Agreement Closing Date and extending through the last day of the calendar month during which the Company's financial statements for December 31, 2014 are delivered, and which PIK interest rate thereafter from time to time may be adjusted based on the ratio of the Company's consolidated indebtedness to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. If the Company achieves a reduction in the leverage ratio as described in the Financing Agreement, the PIK interest rate declines on a sliding scale from 4% to 2%. The Financing Notes issued under the Financing Agreement are scheduled to mature on October 30, 2017, with scheduled quarterly payment dates commencing December 31, 2014. Proceeds from the Initial Financing Note issued on the Financing Agreement Closing Date were used to finance, in part, the Company's acquisition of Steel Media as described in Note 2.

The Financing Agreement provides for subsidiaries of the Company to join the Financing Agreement from time to time as borrowers and cross guarantors thereunder. Immediately after the Company's acquisition of Steel Media on October 30, 2014, Steel Media executed a joinder agreement under which it became a borrower under the Financing Agreement. The Company and its subsidiary, Steel Media, are cross guarantors of each other's obligations under the Financing Agreement, all of which guaranties and obligations are secured pursuant to the terms of the Pledge and Security Agreement.

On May 14, 2015 we entered into the First Amendment to Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders. Under the terms of the amendment, the leverage ratio, senior leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and interest coverage ratio under the Financing Agreement were all modified, and the minimum current ratio was reduced. The amendment also modified our obligations with respect to the delivery of certain reports, certain representations by us as well as clarifying other additional terms by which the loan is administered.

On July 6, 2015 we borrowed an additional $1,500,000 pursuant to the financing agreement. The loan funded on July 8, 2015. In connection therewith, we issued a Senior Secured Term Note to the Lender in the principal amount of $1,500,000.  The Senior Secured Term Note has terms identical to the Initial Financing Notes described above. The Senior Secured Term Note will mature on October 30, 2017. We are using the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement for working capital.

On October 26, 2015 we borrowed an additional $1,400,000 pursuant to the financing agreement. The loan funded on October 26, 2015. In connection therewith, we issued a Senior Secured Term Note to the Lender in the principal amount of $1,400,000.  The Senior Secured Term Note has terms identical to the Initial Financing Notes described above. The Senior Secured Term Note will mature on October 30, 2017. We used the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement towards the payment of the secured promissory note due Richard Steel described in Note 3, and for working capital.

Pursuant to the Financing Agreement dated October 31, 2014, the Company also issued to the lender thereunder, on the Financing Agreement Closing Date, a five year warrant to purchase 2,900,000 shares of its Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the "Financing Warrant"). The warrant holder may not, however, exercise the Financing Warrant for a number of shares of Class A common stock that would cause such holder to beneficially own shares of Class A common stock in excess of 4.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A common stock following such exercise. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrant and the exercise price therefor are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar corporate events. Pursuant to the Financing Warrant, the warrant holder has the right, at any time after the earlier of April 30, 2016 and the maturity date of the Financing Notes issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement, but prior to the date that is five years after the Financing Agreement Closing Date, to exercise its put right under the terms of the Financing Warrant, pursuant to which the warrant holder may sell to the Company, and the Company will purchase from the warrant holder, all or any portion of the Financing Warrant that has not been previously exercised. In connection with any exercise of this put right, the purchase price will be equal to an amount based upon the percentage of the Financing Warrant for which the put right is being exercised, multiplied by the lesser of (A) 50% of the total revenue for the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the trailing 12- month period ending with the Company's then-most recently completed fiscal quarter, and (B) $1,500,000. We have recorded the put liability at its present value of $1,232,294 at October 31, 2014 and have recorded it as deferred debt cost. We will record the accretion as interest expense.

As contemplated under the Financing Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement on the Financing Agreement Closing Date (the "Financing Registration Rights Agreement") with the holder of the Financing Warrant, pursuant to which the Company granted to such holder certain "piggyback" rights to register the shares of the Company's Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrant. Specifically, the holder of the Financing Warrant has the right, subject to certain allocation provisions set forth in the Financing Registration Rights Agreement, to include the shares underlying the Financing Warrant in registration statements for offerings by the Company of its Class A common stock, as well as offerings of the Company's Class A common stock held by third parties.  The shares underlying the Financing Warrant were included in a registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2015.

As part of the arrangements under the Financing Agreement, the Agent, Mr. Steel, and the Company and Steel Media (as borrowers under the Financing Agreement) have also entered into a subordination agreement (the "Subordination Agreement") under which Mr. Steel has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, to subordinate to the lenders and holders of Financing Notes and the Financing Warrant issued under the Financing Agreement (i) certain obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness, including, without limitation, payments under the Note and payments of Earnout Consideration, owed to him by the Company and any of its subsidiaries and (ii) Mr. Steel's right to exercise the Put Right.

The Note issued to Mr. Steel bore interest at the rate of 5% per annum and the principal and accrued interest was due and payable on October 30, 2015. The amounts due under the Note accelerated and became immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default as described in the Note. Upon an event of default under the Note, the interest rate increased to 10% per annum. The Note was permitted to be prepaid upon five days' notice to Mr. Steel, and the Note was required to be prepaid upon a change of control of the Company or Steel Media. The Note was also subject to certain mandatory partial prepayments for each of the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 in an amount equal to 25% of the "Excess Cash Amount" as defined in the Note.

During June 2014 we issued 133,332 shares of common stock pursuant to the vesting of stock grants.

On October 30, 2014 and November 5, 2014, we sold 4,220,500 units of our securities to 28 accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The units were sold at a purchase price of $1.00 per unit resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $4,220,500. Each unit consisted of one share of our Class A common stock and one three year Class A common stock purchase warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of our Class A common stock. Each redeemable three year warrant (the "Private Placement Warrants") entitles the holder to purchase one-half share of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants must be exercised in such denominations as to require the issuance of a whole number of shares. Providing that there is an effective registration statement registering the shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, we have the right to redeem all or any portion of the warrants at a price of $0.001 per share of Class A common stock underlying such warrants upon 20 days' notice at any time that the closing price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $3.75 per share for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily average minimum volume of our Class A common stock during those 20 trading days is at least 100,000 shares.

In addition to the units sold for cash, we also issued T.R. Winston & Company, LLC ("T.R. Winston") 800,000 units, valued at $800,000, as compensation for the firm's investment banking services to us in connection with the acquisition of Steel Media described above. The units issued to T.R. Winston are identical to the units sold in the private placement.

As a result, we issued an aggregate of 5,020,500 shares of our Class A common stock and Private Placement Warrants to purchase an additional 2,510,250 shares of our Class A common stock. T.R. Winston acted as our placement agent in the private placement offering. We paid the placement agent and a selling agent cash commissions totaling $351,435 and agreed to issue T.R. Winston and the selling agent three year warrants which are identical to the Private Placement Warrant to purchase 301,230 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. We incurred additional expenses of $12,885 for this and used $2,500,000 of the net proceeds from the offering as part of the cash consideration for the acquisition of Steel Media described above and used approximately $678,000 for fees in this transaction, including $580,000 to T.R. Winston as a loan origination fee for the Financing Agreement. The balance of the net proceeds will be used for general working capital.

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and the placement agent warrants. We are obligated to pay all costs associated with this registration statement, other than selling expenses of the warrant holders. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC in October 2015.

On December 19, 2014 we issued 600,000 shares of our Class A common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Five Delta, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Five Delta"), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Share Acquisition and Exchange Agreement dated December 19, 2014 (the "Five Delta Agreement") by and among Social Reality, Five Delta and the stockholders of Five Delta.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

The Company generated operating losses for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 which are not benefitted for tax accounting purposes. The Company accounts for its state franchise and minimum taxes as a component of its general and administrative expenses. Accordingly, the Company has recorded no current or deferred income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2015			2014
Federal statutory income tax rate		(34.0	)%		(34.0	)%
State income taxes, net of federal benefit		(3.0	)		(5.3	)
Stock based compensation		0.2			15.4
Acquisition expenses		0.0			6.2

Change in valuation allowance		18.8			14.9
Provision for income taxes		0.0	%		0.0	%

Significant components of the Company's deferred income taxes are shown below:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2015			2014
Deferred tax assets:

The Company has established a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty that such assets will be realized. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced. The valuation allowance decreased by $6,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

At December 31, 2015, the Company has federal and state net operating losses, or NOL, carryforwards of approximately $4.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The federal and state NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2032.

F-23

SOCIAL REALITY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

The above NOL carryforward may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and similar state provisions if the Company experienced one or more ownership changes which would limit the amount of NOL and tax credit carryforwards that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382 and 383, results from transactions increasing ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The Company has not completed an IRC Section 382/383 analysis.  If a change in ownership were to have occurred, NOL and tax credit carryforwards could be eliminated or restricted. If eliminated, the related asset would be removed from the deferred tax asset schedule with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, limitations created by future ownership changes, if any, will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States, and various state jurisdictions. Due to the Company’s losses incurred, the Company is essentially subject to income tax examination by tax authorities from inception to date. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as tax expense. At December 31, 2015, there are no unrecognized tax benefits, and there are no significant accruals for interest related to unrecognized tax benefits or tax penalties.

NOTE 10 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

2012 and 2014 Equity Compensation Plans

In January 2012, our board of directors and stockholders authorized the 2012 Equity Compensation Plan, which we refer to as the 2012 Plan, covering 3,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock. On November 5, 2014 our board of directors approved the adoption of our 2014 Equity Compensation Plan (the " 2014 Plan ") and reserved 3,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock for grants under this plan. The purpose of the 2012 and 2014 Plans is attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to our employees, directors and consultants and to promote the success of our company's business. The 2012 and 2014 Plans are administered by our board of directors. Plan options may either be:

· incentive stock options (ISOs),

· non-qualified options (NSOs),

· awards of our common stock,

· stock appreciation rights (SARs),

· restricted stock units (RSUs),

· performance units,

· performance shares, and

· other stock-based awards.

Any option granted under the 2012 or 2014 Plans must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, but the exercise price of any ISO granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The plans further provide that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any option holder during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. The exercise price of any NSO granted under the 2012 or 2014 Plans is determined by the Board at the time of grant, but must be at least equal to fair market value on the date of grant. The term of each plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the board of directors or the compensation committee, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The terms of grants of any other type of award under the 2012 or 2014 Plans is determined by the Board at the time of grant. Subject to the limitation on the aggregate number of shares issuable under the plans, there is no maximum or minimum number of shares as to which a stock grant or plan option may be granted to any person.

Other Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company's breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers and employees that will require the Company to, among other things, indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. The Company has also agreed to indemnify certain former officers, directors and employees of acquired companies in connection with the acquisition of such companies. The Company maintains director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from its obligation to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees, and former officers, directors and employees of acquired companies, in certain circumstances.

It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of exposure under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Such indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses.

Employment agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with a number of our employees. These agreements may include provisions for base salary, guaranteed and discretionary bonuses and option grants. The agreements may contain severance provisions if the employees are terminated without cause, as defined in the agreements.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive letters alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 26, 2016 we borrowed an additional $1,600,000 pursuant to the financing agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC described in Note 3. The loan funded on January 28, 2016. In connection therewith, we issued a Senior Secured Term Note to the Lender in the principal amount of $1,600,000.  As with the Initial Note, the Senior Secured Term Note bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) cash interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and (2) payment-in-kind (PIK) interest, as may be adjusted from time to time, based on the ratio of our consolidated indebtedness to our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  If we achieve a reduction in the leverage ratio as described in the Financing Agreement, the PIK interest rate declines on a sliding scale from 4% to 2%. The Senior Secured Term Note will mature on October 30, 2017. We used the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement as a portion of the payment to Mr. Richard Steel of the first year earn out payment described in Notes 2 and 7.

On February 16, 2016 we borrowed an additional $500,000 pursuant to the financing agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC described in Note 3. The loan funded on February 16, 2016.

The Senior Secured Term Note will mature on October 30, 2017. We used the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement as working capital.

On January 29, 2016 we paid Richard Steel $4 million, of which $1.6 million was paid in cash and the balance was paid through the issuance of 1,283,766 shares of our Class A common stock as payment of the earnout consideration for the first Earnout period ended October 31, 2015, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement described in Note 2.

Following the conversion of the remaining shares of our Series 1 Preferred Stock during 2015 into shares of our Class A Common Stock, in February 2016 we filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of Delaware returning all shares of previously designated Series 1 Preferred Stock to our blank check preferred stock.

On February 23, 2016 our Board of Directors approved the adoption of our 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and reserved 3,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock for grants under this plan.  The terms of the 2016 Plan, which is administered by our Board of Directors, are identical to those of our 2012 Plan and 2014 Plan.
