Our Business

Overview

NewsBeat Social, Inc. (“NBS”) is a video-first news agency, gathering news coverage from around the world and distributing one-minute, fact-intensive news reports across social media. We were formed in April 2012 and began operations on February 8, 2013. Since inception, our business has expanded significantly, and we have gathered and distributed over 30,000 news reports, reaching viewers in 236 countries and territories around the world. Today, we have 30 full-time employees who gather and distribute over 50 news reports a day. Since 2014, Facebook users have been presented with NBS news videos over 8.1 billion times, resulting in 403 million video “views” (lasting 3 seconds or more) with a growth rate of 458% between 2014 and 2015 and a Facebook fan base of approximately 2.8 million people as of the end of 2015 (up 27% from the previous year-end). From December 2014 to December 2015, the size of our Facebook audience (i.e., the number of discrete individual user accounts given the opportunity to watch our news reports) increased 64%, to approximately 59 million a month. From 2014 to 2015, the engagement rate of our Facebook audience (i.e., the percentage of such user accounts who view our news reports and “like”, comment on or share them, expressed as an average of the 12 monthly engagement rate averages in a year) increased 87%, to 15% of our audience. NBS has been able to achieve this growth in audience and engagement rate while keeping news gathering and distribution costs below $100 per news report.

We believe our approach to news gathering and distribution offers a disruptive alternative to the model followed by most of the global news industry, principally as a result of:

Cost Structure: We estimate the cost of a one-minute NBS news report to be between 5x and 25x less than the cost of one minute of traditional television news. Our combination of using the internet as an information source, using social media as a distribution platform and using a customized, high-volume news operation workflow that need not rely on high-priced analysis or opinion, allows us to distribute our product at a significantly lower price compared to conventional news channels.

Consumer Experience: Our cost advantage means that NBS can focus on delivering quality news and an enhanced consumer experience without having to resort to a heavy advertising load, sensationalized stories, high-priced subscription plans or alternative monetization methods such as paid, sponsored or native news that confuses and alienates consumers.

Advertising Model: Consumers are increasingly spending time on social media via mobile devices. With NBS, advertisers now have an efficient way to reach these consumers by running video commercials before and after an NBS news report. Our news reports are sufficiently short, informative, visual, free of spin and consumable-on-demand to attract large numbers of social media viewers. Advertisers can safely advertise around our reports, because they can pick the individual news reports with which they want to be associated. And advertisers can also effectively advertise around our reports, by using social media customer-targeting tools to help ensure they are only spending for the audience they want, down to the level of individual news report categories and desired or prohibited attributes of news reports within those categories.

The $174 billion global news industry is evolving rapidly, and centralized broadcast distribution formats across all traditional media, including print, radio and television, are being replaced by social media and other, more personalized and decentralized forms of distribution. We believe an opportunity has opened to capture a material segment of the news market as it transitions to social delivery through mobile and other personal devices. We have built an operation that emphasizes a lean cost structure, allowing us to gather and distribute video news reporting at a fraction of the cost of many traditional television news organizations. The success we have had with our audience to date reinforces our belief that there is a large, underserved market of consumers that want a fact-based, consistent news experience that respects their limited time. Our near-term plan is to continue to expand our news gathering and distribution capabilities in order to grow our global audience, while beginning to invest in advertising, syndication and subscription opportunities to earn revenue. Our longer-term goal is to further scale and enhance our model of combining targeted news and targeted ads to define the next generation of news gathering, distribution and monetization.

Our Solution

We are one of the leading digital news organizations that have taken advantage of the growing opportunity of the mobile social media news market. Through our technology and workflow system, we have created a low-cost video news operation that produces a flow of news reports in a consistent news format and leverages social media for distribution.

Target Market: The globally minded Millennial

According to the Media Insight Project, an initiative of the American Press Institute and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research 88% of all U.S. Millennials consume news regularly from Facebook, which is more than the 63% of all Facebook users who consume news regularly from Facebook, and nearly twice the 45% of all U.S. online adults who consume news regularly from Facebook. Contrary to some opinions about what kind of news Millennials consume, the same study highlighted that 45% of Millennials follow five or more “hard news” topics, including areas such as politics, social issues and technology.

As we have grown, a clear target audience has emerged for our news reports, consistent with this study’s findings. Of the consumers we reached in December 2015 through Facebook, 66% were between 18 and 34 years of age, with the majority located outside of the U.S. We target this 18- to 34-year old global demographic because it represents one of the heaviest news consumer demographics on Facebook and a highly desirable audience for advertisers. According to an article by the New York Times in June 2015, Millennials represent the largest demographic in the United States, at approximately 80 million people. By 2020, Accenture estimates that this cohort will spend $1.4 trillion annually.

Our success in developing an international audience is an indication of the opportunity NBS has to become a news agency with international audience reach. As of December 31, 2015, NBS news has been viewed in over 236 different countries. Each market has different competitive dynamics, which has implications for how we launch and market our products, including what kind of news coverage matters to a particular local market and what sort of positioning will be effective against local competition.

Product: one-minute video news reports consumed on social media via mobile devices

NBS applies the same consistent formula of the who, what, when and where of a news report, regardless of beat or topic area, so our consumers always know what kind of information to expect from us. NBS one-minute news reports, formatted in a 1080 pixel by 1080 pixel, or “square”, format, are ideal for social media distribution on mobile devices. Audiences on social media generally favor shorter videos that are formatted to fit their mobile screens when their phones are held vertically, versus longer videos formatted in a 1920 pixel by 1080 pixel format and designed for screens held horizontally.

Workflow: High daily volume of news reports per newsroom employee

Much of NBS’s operation resembles a traditional newsroom. At the start of each day, the newsroom reviews information online from multiple digital sources, including social media such as Twitter and Facebook and traditional media websites, and by using free web analytics tools such as Google Trends and paid analytics tools such as NewsWhip, in order to identify the news reports to gather for our audience. These reports are assigned to teams within the newsroom, whose members work together to research, write, edit and finalize the reports. A key differentiator for NBS is its workflow process. We have refined our model over time so that today we can deliver over fifty news reports per month for every full-time equivalent newsroom employee, for less than $100 per report. Our operation allows us to gather and distribute video news reporting at a fraction of the cost incurred by many traditional television news organizations.

Coverage: The top headlines, and beyond

Being able to gather and distribute a high volume of news reports each day means that NBS can cover more than just the top headlines. As we scale operations, we expect to expand our news coverage to topics that appeal to more targeted segments of our audience. While major headlines of the day are generally the top performing news reports with the broadest level of audience appeal, these reports are also the most competitive. This competition generally crowds out those who are not the very first reporters to break the story, and our model is not focused on being the first to break new stories. Our experience has been that, on average, the reports that do not deal with the day’s most highly covered news items can often obtain the highest level of audience attention. Therefore, while it remains a priority for NBS to cover all the important news for our audience, reports outside the top headlines provide one of the most interesting and attractive opportunities for audience growth.

Revenue Model: An advertising light experience is a better experience for news consumers

As the news industry transitions, NBS believes there is an opportunity to deliver a better experience for news consumers, driven by fundamental changes in the cost of gathering and distributing news. Without the legacy cost structure of traditional news organizations, NBS can improve the news experience for consumers by avoiding characteristics of traditional news that are actually unfriendly to consumers:

No heavy ad load: Low-cost news gathering and distribution means fewer ads must be shown to make the news product profitable.

No native or sponsored news: According to a September 2015 report by Contently, 62% of consumers believe that a news organization’s brand loses credibility if it publishes sponsored content from an advertiser. Low cost operations mean there is no need to sacrifice the NBS brand for revenue in this manner.

No expensive monthly subscriptions: Within the next year, NBS plans to offer an ad-free version of its news via a downloadable app at an expected price point of $1.99 a month – a price much lower than the average price, as of February 10, 2016, of $13.49 a month charged by the top 10 U.S. daily newspapers by circulation for their digital-only subscriptions, which generally include advertising despite also imposing subscription fees.

Using social media to both gather and distribute news means NBS does not require expensive global news operations and infrastructure on the ground and on location in order to cover global news events. By focusing on reporting, NBS does not have to invest in expert personnel to provide opinions and analysis of news events. We believe these cost advantages translate into a better experience for news consumers.

Our Strategy

Our success to date has laid the foundation for expanding our operations. Our expansion will focus on three main areas:

Grow news gathering operation and audience while improving cost position

Our main priority for the future is to expand our news gathering capabilities while maintaining a disciplined approach to costs. We believe expansion is key to our future success, because it will make our targeted advertising model more attractive to advertisers, further reduce our unit costs and allow us to achieve high-volume earnings, even at low margins – an economic model that traditional news organizations would find difficult to compete against. Not only can our existing workflow model be scaled to support more journalists and more reports on the existing fixed cost infrastructure, it can also be enhanced using an “Uber-like” model for news gathering that allows for remote journalists in the field to work on demand. This enhancement would provide NBS with a flexible capacity for gathering news that is not bound by our number of employees. We expect it would further reduce costs while improving quality, by allowing for more on-site footage and information capture.

Expand distribution

Currently, NBS distributes news on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and our own www.newsbeatsocial.com web property. Other distribution platforms including messaging services such as Snapchat, WhatsApp and Facebook. In addition, NBS will launch its own NBS app, which will allow consumers to personalize their news coverage and offer them the ability to watch, listen to or read NBS news.

Develop advertising and subscription revenue

The two main intended revenue streams for NBS are advertising and subscriptions. Advertising is composed of direct deals where NBS works directly with brand advertisers to provide pre- and post-roll advertising around an NBS news report and distribute that report to the right target market on social media. NBS has conducted five pilot advertising programs, including with Intel and Coast Products, a Portland, Oregon lighting company, and believes there is a substantial opportunity to expand this into a more automated advertising model once news gathering has expanded to a critical mass. In addition, certain sites, such as YouTube, currently share with NBS revenue that they generate from NBS news reports, and other sites, such as Facebook, are expected to eventually do the same. Subscriptions include the consumer subscription for our planned app, as well as business-to-business syndication deals allowing third parties to license NBS news for use on their own web properties.

Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, at June 30, 2015, we had cash of $123,867, a working capital deficiency of $222,273 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1.29 million, and at December 31, 2014, we had cash of $192,556, a working capital deficiency of $31,996 and a stockholders’ deficit of $619,120. We have generated minimal revenues and have incurred net losses since inception, including a net loss of $10,895,263 for the year ended December 31, 2014. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern”.

Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

The majority of our news is watched on Facebook, and changes to how Facebook distributes and monetizes video content could adversely affect our business.

Facebook is the primary distribution, marketing and promotion platform for our news reports. We currently generate the majority of our audience and video views through Facebook and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. As a result, Facebook’s policies and practices exert significant influence over the maintenance and growth of our business. If Facebook were to changes its policies or practices in ways that adversely affected the distribution, marketing or promotion of our news, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, the preferred advertising model for our business uses Facebook’s customer segmentation and targeting tools. If we lost access to these tools, or if Facebook changed them in ways that made them less useful for us – for example, by changing the algorithms its uses to help channel particular news reports of ours to particular Facebook users that Facebook thinks would be interested in those reports – our business would be adversely affected.

We are subject to Facebook’s standard terms and conditions and other policies for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of our news reports on the Facebook platform. Facebook has broad discretion to change its terms of service and other policies.

We have benefited from Facebook’s strong brand recognition and large user base. If Facebook loses its market position or otherwise falls out of favor with Internet users, we would need to identify alternative channels for promoting and distributing our news reports, which would consume substantial resources and might not be effective.

We are dependent on our ability to distribute news reports not only through Facebook but also through other social media platforms, and any material disruptions or impairments in our ability to use social media platforms for our distribution would adversely affect our business.

Although Facebook is our primary distribution platform, we use a number of other social media platforms for distribution and our expansion plans envision us increasing our distribution across multiple social media platforms. We are dependent on all of these social media platforms for distribution, and we control none of them. If there are any material disruptions in any such platforms’ news distribution desires or capabilities, or if we are materially impaired in our ability to use any such platforms to distribute our news reports, deliver ads or measure the effectiveness of the ads we deliver, then our user engagement and revenue could decline and our business could be adversely affected.

We commenced operations on February 8, 2013. Accordingly, we have only a limited history upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. Our proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with new enterprises. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment and expansion of a new business in a competitive environment. We have not yet achieved a profit, we may continue to sustain losses in the future and there are no assurances that we will be able to operate profitably.

We have not yet developed any significant revenue streams in advertising, syndication or consumer subscriptions. Any or all of these revenue streams may not successfully materialize.

We have not yet developed any significant revenue streams. To date, we have only completed pilot advertising programs with five brand partners and only through Facebook. We may not be able to commercialize our brand advertising business model and scale it effectively. In addition, prevailing rates for advertising may fluctuate in ways that are unfavorable to us. Moreover, we may not be successful in acquiring new advertisers. The other revenue streams we anticipate developing, including syndication and consumer subscription services, are yet to be developed and are uncertain in their timing and size.

We have incurred significant losses since our inception, and we anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses in the future.

For six months ended June 30, 2015, we reported a net loss of 1,252,324, and for the year ended December 31, 2014, we reported a net loss of $10,895,263. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect these losses to increase as we continue to seek to grow our audience and operations. The size and duration of our future losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and revenues. In addition, we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect the timing of our financial and operating expectations. Even if we are able to grow our revenues, this may not occur quickly enough to sustain our operations.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed in its report on our audited consolidated financial statements a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have not yet generated sufficient revenues from our operations to fund our activities, and we are therefore dependent upon external sources for the financing of our operations. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed in its report on the consolidated financial statements included as part of this Offering Circular a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, holders of our Common Stock might lose their entire investment.

A large portion of our projected revenue would be generated from advertising. We may be unable to attract or retain advertisers, which could adversely affect our future revenue. Additionally, even if we are successful in retaining advertisers, our future advertising revenue is likely to be affected by numerous factors, including economic conditions, audience fragmentation and evolving digital advertising market dynamics.

Our success depends on our ability to develop, maintain and expand our relationships with advertisers, advertising exchanges and advertising agencies. The relationship building process can take many months and we may be unsuccessful at winning business with any given advertiser or agency. We may invest significant resources in developing relationships with advertisers and still be unsuccessful at obtaining their business or only succeed in obtaining short-term commitments from them. Our business model is relatively new and we are often required to spend substantial time and effort educating potential advertisers, publishers and content providers about our solutions, including providing demonstrations. If we are not successful in attracting and maintaining relationships with advertisers and increasing the efficiency and rates of return from our sales processes, our business may be adversely affected.

In addition, the state of the global, national and regional economy, the growth rate of the online advertising market and the availability of capital all affect advertising spending patterns. Any reduction in spending by, or loss of, existing or potential advertisers would negatively affect our operating results. Further, we may be unable to adjust our expenses and capital expenditures quickly enough to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfalls. Advertisers’ use of our product may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

There is no assurance that we will succeed in attracting and retaining advertisers to the extent necessary to support our growth and increase revenues.

Additionally, advertising spending is sensitive to overall economic conditions, and our advertising revenues will be adversely affected if advertisers respond to weak and uncertain economic conditions by reducing their budgets or changing their spending patterns, or if they are forced to consolidate or cease operations.

In determining whether to buy advertising through our products, advertisers will consider the demand for our products, advertising rates, alternative advertising options, and the results achieved by other advertisers who use our solutions. The increasing number of digital media advertising options available through social networking tools and news aggregation websites has expanded consumer choice significantly, resulting in audience fragmentation and increased competition for advertising spend among digital news providers. Further, advertising expenditures tend to be seasonal and cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and budgeting and buying patterns. Further, any decreased collectability of accounts receivable or any early termination of agreements, whether resulting from customer bankruptcies or otherwise due to adverse macroeconomic conditions, could negatively affect our results of operations.

A portion of our projected revenue would be generated from syndication services, in which we would license to other businesses the ability to use NBS news on their own web properties, in order to support their own efforts to attract and retain viewers and otherwise support their own operations. We may be unable to timely develop meaningful revenue through syndication services.

Our plan for developing syndication services as a future revenue stream depends in part on our identifying businesses that might be interested in paying to circulate our news reports for their own business purposes, and designing licensing and supply arrangements that appeal to such businesses and provide us with meaningful revenue. The success of our syndication services plans could face a number of impediments, including, for example, a failure to develop a critical mass of interested customers, or an inability to price our services at a level attractive to both customers and ourselves. If we are not successful in devising and implementing attractive syndication services, we will fail in developing one of our projected methods of earning revenue, and our business may be adversely affected.

A portion of our projected revenue would be generated from subscription services, in which consumers would pay a subscription fee to receive ad-free versions of our news reports by means of a downloaded app. We may be unable to timely develop an app that appeals to consumers, or we may face other impediments to developing meaningful revenue through subscription services.

Our plan for developing subscription services as a future revenue stream depends to a great extent on our ability to develop a downloadable app that appeals to consumers, through which they would subscribe for ad-free versions of our news reports and receive such reports on their mobile phones or other Internet-connected devices. Our app could fail to support our subscription services plans for a number of reasons, including delays in designing and launching the app; an inability to make the app available through Apple or Android App Stores or other popular distribution channels for apps; or a failure of the app to appeal to consumers, or to catch on with and be used regularly by a large number of consumers. The success of our subscription services plans may face other impediments; for example, if we are unable to price subscriptions at a level that attracts subscribers and also provides us with meaningful revenue. If we are not successful in devising and implementing an attractive subscription service for consumers, we will fail in developing one of our projected methods of earning revenue, and our business may be adversely affected.

Our future revenue depends on our ability to retain and grow our audience and intended subscription base through timely, convenient and engaging news reports. If we are unable to provide such reporting and retain or grow our audience and intended subscription base, our business could be adversely affected.

Our future revenue is dependent on our ability to retain and grow our audience, and the subscription base we plan to establish, through timely, convenient and engaging news reports. Audience tastes and attitudes towards news coverage change and our news format may not appeal to our audience over the long term. If we are unable to keep up with technologies and platforms that help us understand what kinds of reporting our audience wants, our ability to cover the right news stories in a way that continues to attract viewers may be hindered. The platforms that people use for news today such as Facebook and Twitter may be replaced by more immersive technologies such as augmented and artificial reality, for which our news format may not be appropriate. If we are unable to offer sufficiently attractive news reports on sufficiently interesting news topics, we may be unable to grow, and may experience declines in, our audience and intended subscriber base, which would adversely affect business.

If we are unable to effectively manage growth and maintain low operating costs, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Our plans require significant expansion of our business. If we are unable to effectively manage our geographically dispersed employees or accurately anticipate and manage our future growth, our business may be adversely affected. Our business model depends on us maintaining low operating costs for the production and distribution of our news reports. If we are unable to manage our expansion and growth effectively, we may be unable to keep our operating costs low or maintain key performance measures for our news reports, including the average cost of a report, the number of views per report, engagement rates and other performance measures. Our business relies on data systems, billing systems and financial reporting and control systems, procedures and controls. Our success in managing our expansion and growth in a cost-effective manner will require us to upgrade and improve these systems, procedures and controls. If we are unable to adapt our systems and put adequate controls in place in a timely manner, our business may be adversely affected. In addition, our growth may place significant demands on our management, and our overall operational and financial resources. A failure on our part to meet any of the foregoing challenges inherent in our growth strategy may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to continue to have access to news sources and data services that help us gather facts for news reports, our ability to generate news reports may be adversely affected.

We gather news and facts for our news reports using a wide range of publicly available news and information sources, certain privately available news and information sources to which we subscribe and data services that help us determine which news stories are trending with various audiences from moment to moment around the globe. These services tend to be decentralized, so that if we lose access to one, we will not thereby lose access to others, but we access most of these sources over the Internet. If our access to the Internet were disrupted or delayed or made more complicated or expensive than it currently is, our ability to effectively access the range of news and fact sources we require for our news gathering efforts may be adversely affected. In addition, any loss of access to material news, information or data sources or services, for any other reason, could adversely affect our news gathering efforts. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract, sustain, and renew distribution arrangements on favorable terms, our future advertising revenue may be adversely affected.

We have entered into the standard distribution arrangements applicable to services such as ours with Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter, pursuant to which we distribute our news through those platforms and assess viewership. We plan to enter into other distribution arrangements with operators of websites, online networks and others to increase to the distribution of our video news reports. Distribution arrangements often involve revenue sharing. Competition to enter into distribution arrangements has caused and may in the future cause our traffic acquisition costs to increase. Our distribution arrangements may not be exclusive and may be short-term, terminable at will, or subject to early termination provisions. Failure on our part to enter into additional distribution agreements with strategic partners under favorable terms may inhibit our ability to grow and may harm our business.

We use certain performance metrics that are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics could harm our reputation and negatively affect our business.

We use certain key metrics to internally assess our business performance and to present our business to potential advertisers, investors and others. These metrics include total audience reach, total video views, numbers of unique users, engagement rates and other metrics, which are calculated using both internal company and external data. While our metrics are based on what we believe to be reasonable measurements and methodologies, there are inherent challenges in deriving our metrics and measuring them precisely, especially across large online and mobile populations around the world. If advertisers, investors and others do not perceive our metrics to be accurate, or if they in fact are not accurate, it could negatively affect our reputation and business.

We operate in an immature and rapidly evolving industry and have a relatively new business model, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.

The industry in which we operate is characterized by rapidly changing Internet media, evolving industry standards and shifting user and client demands. Our business model is also evolving and is different from models used by other companies in our industry. As a result of these factors, the success and future revenue and income potential of our business is uncertain. Any evaluation of our business and our prospects must be considered in light of these risks and uncertainties, some of which relate to our ability to:

If we are unable to successfully address the challenges posed by operating in an immature and rapidly evolving industry and having a relatively new business model, our business could suffer.

Our business depends on our developing a strong brand, and if we fail to develop and maintain our brand in a cost-effective manner, or business could be adversely affected.

Developing our brand is an important aspect of our efforts to attract and expand our audience, user, advertiser and partner base. We believe that the importance of brand recognition is increased by the relatively low barriers to entry in certain portions of the Internet market. The development of our brand will depend largely on our ability to provide high-quality news and effective advertising. We have spent and expect to continue to spend money and other resources on the establishment and maintenance of our brand, as well as advertising, marketing, and other brand-building efforts to preserve and enhance consumer awareness of our brand. Our brand may be negatively affected by a number of factors, such as product malfunctions, data protection and security issues, exploitation of our trademarks by others without permission and poor presentation or integration of our news reports and the advertising we carry. If we are unable to maintain or enhance our brand in a cost-effective manner, or if we incur excessive expenses in these efforts, our business could be harmed.

Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet by our viewers, our intended subscribers and us. Internet access providers or distributors may be able to block, degrade or charge for access to our content, which could lead to additional expenses and the loss of viewers, subscribers and advertisers.

Products and services such as ours depend on our ability and the ability of our users to access the Internet. Currently, this access is provided by companies that have significant market power in the broadband and internet access marketplace, including incumbent telephone companies, cable companies, mobile communications companies and government-owned service providers. Some of these providers may take, or have stated that they may take, measures that could degrade, disrupt, or increase the cost of user access to products or services such as ours by restricting or prohibiting the use of their infrastructure to support or facilitate product or service offerings such as ours, or by charging increased fees to businesses such as ours to provide content or to have users access that content. Such interference could result in a loss of existing viewers, subscribers and advertisers, and increased costs, and could impair our ability to attract new viewers, subscribers and advertisers, thereby harming our revenues and growth. The adoption of any laws or regulations that limit access to the Internet by blocking, degrading or charging access fees to us or our viewers and intended subscribers could reduce the demand for, or the use of, our products and services, increase our costs of doing business and adversely affect our operating results.

Security breaches and other network and information systems disruptions could affect our ability to conduct our business effectively.

Our information systems store and process confidential user, employee, advertiser and other sensitive personal and business data, and therefore maintaining our network security is of critical importance. We use third-party technology and systems for a variety of information systems operations, including encryption and authentication technology, employee email, domain name registration, content delivery to customers, back-office support and other functions. Our systems, and those of third parties upon which our business relies, may be vulnerable to interruption or damage that could result from natural disasters, fires, power outages, acts of terrorism or other similar events, or from deliberate attacks such as computer hacking, computer viruses, worms or other destructive or disruptive software, process breakdowns, denial of service attacks, malicious social engineering or other malicious activities, or any combination of the foregoing.

Despite the security measures we and our third-party service providers have taken, our information systems, and those of our service providers, have been, and will likely continue to be, subject to disruption or attack. Such an event could result in a disruption of our services or improper disclosure of personal data or confidential information, which could harm our reputation, require us to expend resources to remedy such a security breach or defend against further attacks, divert management’s attention and resources or subject us to liability under laws that protect personal data, resulting in increased operating costs or loss of revenue.

We have implemented controls and taken other preventative measures designed to strengthen our systems against disruptions and attacks, including measures designed to reduce the impact of a security breach at our third-party vendors. Although the costs of the controls and other measures we have taken to date have not had a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, there can be no assurance as to the cost of additional controls and measures that we may conclude are necessary in the future.

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our video news competes for advertising and subscription revenue with both traditional and new content providers. We expect this competition to intensify as a result of continued innovation and development of digital media technologies, and new media providers offering online news and related content. Competition among companies offering online content is intense, and new competitors can quickly emerge. Some of our current and future competitors may have greater resources or better competitive positions in certain areas than we do. These factors may allow our competitors to respond more effectively than us to new technologies and changes in market conditions.

Our ability to compete effectively depends on many factors both within and beyond our control, including, among others:

Acquisitions and strategic investments could result in unanticipated liabilities and otherwise adversely affect our operations.

We recently acquired certain assets of AllSay Inc. (“AllSay”) and expect to make additional acquisitions and strategic investments in the future. Such transactions may result in the reduction of our cash resources, dilutive issuances of our equity securities, or the incurrence of debt. Such transactions may also result in amortization expenses related to intangible assets. Our acquisitions and strategic investments to date have been accompanied by a number of risks, including:

We are likely to experience similar risks in connection with future acquisitions and strategic investments. Our failure to successfully address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with past or future acquisitions and strategic investments could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions or investments, incur unanticipated liabilities, and otherwise harm our business.

If we do not manage our operating expenses effectively, we may never become profitable.

We plan to continue to manage costs as efficiently as we can. However, our operating expenses might increase as we expand our operations in areas of desired growth, develop and extend our brand, expand our distribution platforms, acquire additional employees and acquire and integrate complementary technologies. If our expenses increase at a faster pace than our revenues, or if we otherwise fail to effectively manage costs, we may never become profitable.

Our success depends on our ability to respond and adapt to changes in technology and consumer behavior.

Technology in the media industry continues to evolve rapidly. Advances in technology have led to an increasing number of methods for the delivery and consumption of news and ad distribution. These developments are driving changes in consumer behavior and the ways companies deploy their advertising spend. Unless we are able to use new and existing technologies to distinguish our product and services from those of our competitors and engage users, our business may be adversely affected.

Changes in technology and consumer behavior pose a number of challenges that could adversely affect our business. For example, among others:

Responding to these challenges may require significant investment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the funds necessary to make these investments, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

If we are unable to recruit, hire, motivate, and retain key personnel, we may not be able to execute our business plan.

Our business depends on our ability to recruit, hire, motivate and retain talented, highly skilled management, journalistic, technical and other personnel. Achieving this objective may be difficult due to many factors, including fluctuations in global, national and regional economic and industry conditions, competitors’ hiring practices and the effectiveness of our compensation programs. If we do not succeed in retaining and motivating our existing key employees, and in attracting new key personnel, we may be unable to execute our business plan and grow our business. As a result, our business may be adversely affected.

If we are unable to recruit, hire, motivate, and retain journalistic personnel on flexible and affordable terms, we may not be able to execute our growth plan as we envision it and continue to keep our operating costs low.

We believe it is key to our business to deliver our news reports at a low operating cost. In order to do this as we expand our operations, we must be able to continue to recruit, hire, motivate, and retain journalistic personnel on flexible and affordable terms. If we cannot find large numbers of talented journalists who are attracted to our business model, and willing to work on the schedules and at the levels of compensation that model requires, then we will be unable to avoid increases in our operating costs, and our ability to execute our business plans be adversely affected.

Unionization among our employees could drive up our operating costs, complicate relations between labor and management and adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.

In June 2015, the editorial employees of news and gossip website Gawker voted to unionize and be represented by the Writers Guild of America, East for the purpose of collective bargaining. If some or all of our workforce were to unionize, we would expect that our costs in regard to such employees might rise, and relations between labor and management might become complicated or strained. If any of that were to occur, our ability to deliver news reports at a low level of operating costs might be adversely affected, which might adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.

We plan to introduce an “Uber-like” model for news gathering that allows for remote journalists in the field to work for us on demand; however, this enhancement may fail to help us achieve our goal of expanding our journalistic resources around the globe while retaining flexibility and affordability in our news gathering operations.

One of the workflow methods we plan to introduce as we grow our operations is an “Uber-like” model for news gathering, in which journalists who are not employees of ours are hired on a per-story basis to provide news gathering and reporting services – when, where and as we may wish to engage them. This model may fail to work as we envision it, for a number of reasons. For example, it may not appeal to freelance and other available journalists as a way to work; or it may create difficulties for us with our full-time journalist employees; or we may not be able to price the provision of services so as to attract a large, new labor pool while also allowing us to keep our operating costs low. If our “Uber-like” model is unsuccessful, we may find it more difficult to expand our business while controlling costs, which could adversely affect our business.

We rely on third parties to provide the technologies necessary to deliver products and services to our users, and any change in the licensing terms, costs, availability, or acceptance of these technologies could adversely affect our business.

We rely on third parties such as Facebook to provide the technologies that we use to deliver our products and services to users. There can be no assurance that these providers will continue to license their technologies or otherwise make them available to us on reasonable terms, or at all. Providers may change the fees they charge users or otherwise change their business models in a manner that impedes the acceptance of their technologies. In order for our services to be successful, there must be a large base of users of the technologies necessary to deliver our products and services. We have limited or no control over the availability or acceptance of these technologies, and any change in the licensing terms, costs, availability or user acceptance of these technologies could adversely affect our business.

Our business depends on our intellectual property, including our trade secrets, services, content, and internally developed technology. We believe our proprietary knowledge and other intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise unlawfully obtain and use our content, services, technology and other intellectual property, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary rights will prevent any misappropriation, confusion among consumers and merchants or unauthorized use of these rights.

Advancements in technology have made the unauthorized duplication and wide dissemination of content easier, making the enforcement of intellectual property rights more challenging. In addition, our business and the risk of misappropriation of our intellectual property rights have become more global in scope, and we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights in a cost-effective manner in a multitude of jurisdictions with varying laws.

If we are unable to procure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, including maintaining and monetizing intellectual property rights to our content, we may not realize the full value of these assets, and our business may suffer. In addition, if we must litigate in the United States or elsewhere to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of our rights and the rights of others, such litigation may be costly and divert the attention of our management.

In the future, we may be subject to claims of intellectual property or copyright infringement that could adversely affect our business.

We occasionally receive claims from third parties alleging infringement, misappropriation or other violations of their intellectual property rights. These third parties often include content licensing companies seeking to monetize their content libraries by asserting claims of infringement or misuse, and are generally without merit. We sometimes use copyrighted works in the creation of our news, and do not always get explicit permission from the copyright owner for the use of their materials. When we do this, we follow the Fair Use doctrine as set forth in Section 107 of the Copyright Act to try to ensure our product does not violate rights of copyright owners. However, the Fair Use doctrine is open to interpretation and we may face future legal action by copyright owners for the use of their content in our news products.

Infringement claims may require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, use more costly alternative technologies or otherwise incur substantial monetary liability. Additionally, such claims may require us to alter our operations. The occurrence of any of these events as a result of such claims could adversely affect our business.

Adverse results from litigation could affect our business practices and operating results.

From time to time, we may be party to litigations and other proceedings. Adverse outcomes in lawsuits or similar proceedings could result in monetary damages or injunctive relief that could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition as well as our ability to conduct our business as it is presently being conducted.

The use of open source software in our hardware and applications may expose us to additional risks.

Some of our hardware and applications use software covered by open source licenses. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate such software into their products or applications. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Litigation could be costly for us to defend, have a negative effect on our operating results and financial condition or require us to devote additional development resources to change our operations. In addition, if we were to combine our applications with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our applications. If we inappropriately use open source software, we may be required to redesign or discontinue the use of our applications or take other remedial actions.

Our international operations expose us to risks inherent in foreign operations.

We maintain a news bureau in the Philippines and reporters in various other non-U.S. locations, and our news reports are distributed globally to almost every country where there is Internet capability. As such, we face the inherent risks associated with doing business abroad, including:

Adverse developments in any of these areas could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A variety of new and existing United States and foreign laws and regulations could subject us to claims, judgments, monetary liabilities and other remedies, and to limitations on our business practices.

We are subject to numerous United States and foreign laws and regulations covering a wide variety of subject matters. New laws and regulations, changes in existing laws and regulations or the interpretation of them, our introduction of new products or services or forms of advertising, or an extension of our business into new areas could increase our future compliance costs, make our product and services less attractive to our users or cause us to change or limit our business practices. We may incur substantial expenses to comply with laws and regulations or defend against claims of noncompliance. Further, any failure on our part to comply with any relevant laws or regulations may subject us to civil or criminal liabilities, penalties, and negative publicity.

The application of existing domestic and international laws and regulations to us relating to issues such as user privacy and data protection, security, defamation, pricing, advertising, taxation, promotions, billing, real estate, consumer protection, accessibility, content regulation, quality of services, law enforcement demands, telecommunications, mobile, television, and intellectual property ownership and infringement in many instances is unclear or unsettled. United States export control laws and regulations also impose requirements and restrictions on exports to certain nations and persons. Internationally, we may also be subject to laws regulating our activities in foreign countries and to foreign laws and regulations that are inconsistent from country to country.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) is intended, in part, to limit the liability of eligible online service providers for caching, hosting, listing or linking to third-party websites or user content that include materials that give rise to copyright infringement. Portions of the Communications Decency Act (“CDA”) are intended to provide statutory protections to online service providers who distribute third-party content. We rely on the protections provided by both the DMCA and the CDA in conducting our business, and may be adversely affected by future legislation and future judicial decisions altering these safe harbors or if international jurisdictions refuse to apply similar protections.

Various United States and international laws restrict the distribution of materials considered harmful to children and impose additional restrictions on the ability of online services to collect information from minors. These laws currently impose restrictions and requirements on our business, and future federal, state or international laws and legislative efforts designed to protect children on the Internet may impose additional requirements on us.

Our independent registered public accountants have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accountants will not be required to provide an attestation report as to our internal control over financial reporting for the foreseeable future.

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our independent registered public accountants 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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses relate to the absence of internal accounting personnel with the ability to properly account for complex transactions and a lack of separation of duties between accounting and other functions. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses, or other control deficiencies are identified, we may not be able to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports as a public company in a timely manner. Although our Chief Financial Officer has hired additional personnel on a consulting basis to mitigate this risk, there is no guarantee that such hiring will have the desired effect.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has not assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and will not, as a result of this offering, be required to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As an issuer of securities under Regulation A, we do not expect to be required to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, unless and until we become a reporting company under the Exchange Act and, thereafter, no longer qualify as an emerging growth company or are no longer a non-accelerated filer, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, whichever is later. Currently, we would expect to be an emerging growth company for up to five years after we become a reporting company under the Exchange Act. As a result of the foregoing, for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any attestation concerning our internal control over financial reporting from us or our independent registered public accountants.

There has been no public market for our Common Stock prior to this offering, and an active market in which investors can resell their shares may not develop.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which an active market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained after this offering, or how the development of such a market might affect the market price of our Common Stock. The initial offering price of our Common Stock in this offering will be agreed between us and the underwriters based on a number of factors, including market conditions in effect at the time of the offering, and it may not be in any way indicative of the price at which our shares will trade following the completion of this offering. Investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial offering price.

The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The offering price for our Common Stock will be agreed between us and the underwriters based on a number of factors, and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail on NASDAQ or elsewhere following this offering. The price of our Common Stock may decline following this offering. The stock market in general, and the market price of our Common Stock will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results, financial condition and prospects.

Our financial performance, our industry’s overall performance, changing consumer preferences, technologies and advertiser requirements, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock. Some of the other factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in our share price include:

We may experience a delay in the initial trading of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.

We will apply to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market and we expect trading to commence following the Termination Date of this offering, assuming we have sold more than the minimum amount of shares being offered and have thereby sold a sufficient number of shares to qualify to list on the NASDAQ Capital Market. However, in order to perfect our listing, we will be required to, among other things, file with the SEC a post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement, and then file an SEC Form 8-A in order to register our shares under the Exchange Act. The post-qualification amendment of the Offering Statement is subject to review by the SEC, and there is no guarantee that such amendment will be qualified quickly after filing. Any delay in the qualification of the post-qualification amendment may cause a delay in the initial trading of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.

NASDAQ may delist our Common Stock from trading on its exchange, which could limit stockholders’ ability to trade our Common Stock.

In the event we are able to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ will require us to meet certain financial, public float, bid price and liquidity standards on an ongoing basis in order to continue the listing of our Common Stock. If we fail to meet these continued listing requirements, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting. If our Common Stock is delisted and we are not able to list our Common Stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, our shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our Common Stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our Common Stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.

Upon the completion of this offering, we expect to elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, and thereafter publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. If we elect not to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

Upon the completion of this offering, we expect to elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company”, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, including but not limited to:

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31.

If we elect not to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year.

In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. Significant areas of accounting requiring the application of management’s judgment include, but are not limited to, determining the fair value of assets and the timing and amount of cash flows from assets. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

Any trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

Future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new Common Stock or the trading of outstanding stock, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our Common Stock. In all events, future issuances of our Common Stock would result in the dilution of your shareholding. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our Common Stock, or other securities convertible into our Common Stock, could occur, or the perception that locked-up parties will sell their securities when the lock-ups expire, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. In connection with this offering, the Company will enter into a lock-up agreement that prevents it, subject to certain exceptions, from offering additional shares of Common Stock for up to 180 days after the date of this Offering Circular, as further described in “Underwriting”. Further, our directors, officers and current stockholders have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any shares of our Common Stock that they own for up to 180 days after the date of this Offering Circular, as further described in “Underwriting”. In addition to any adverse effects that may arise upon the expiration of these lock-up agreements, the lock-up provisions in these agreements may be waived, at any time and without notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, our Common Stock may become available for resale, subject to applicable law, including without notice, which could reduce the market price for our Common Stock.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our Common Stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which would rank senior to our Common Stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our Common Stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of Common Stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our Common Stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.

If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market and if the price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00, our Common Stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

Our management has broad discretion as to the use of certain of the net proceeds from this offering.

We intend to use $5 million of the net proceeds from this offering (if we sell all of the shares being offered) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of such proceeds. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds designated for use as working capital or for other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this offering in ways that holders of our Common Stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see “Use of Proceeds” below for more information.

If we sell all of the shares being offered, our net proceeds (after underwriting discount and commissions of $2,500,000 and our estimated other offering expenses of $600,000) will be $46,900,000. We will use these net proceeds for:

The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors.

The following table sets forth a breakdown of our estimated use of our net proceeds as we currently expect to use them, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 30% of the shares offered for sale in this offering

As indicated in the table above, if we sell only 75%, or 50%, or 30% of the shares offered for sale in this offering, we would expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as we would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the shares, and in approximately the same proportions, until such time as such use of proceeds would leave us without an operating reserve. At that point we would expect to modify our use of proceeds by slowing the pace of expansion of news gathering and distribution and focusing more on realizing revenue streams at the expense of audience growth, leaving us with the operating reserve indicated.

The expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve and change. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.

In the event we do not sell all of the shares being offered, we may seek additional financing from other sources in order to support the intended use of proceeds indicated above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in this offering would be diluted. In all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available to us when wanted or needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.

You should read this table together with our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Our use of proceeds from this offering is discussed under “Use of Proceeds”.

To the extent such stock options or warrants are hereafter exercised, or awards made under such equity compensation plan result in the issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, there will be further dilution to our investors.

If you purchase shares in this offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering.

Our historical net tangible book value as of June 30, 2015 was a deficit of $(1,294,635), or ($0.02) per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock. Historical net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified.

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2015, before accounting for this offering, was $___, or $___ per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the pro forma total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, as of the date specified. In each case in which the Company raises greater than $25,000,000 in gross proceeds in this offering, the calculation was made after giving effect to the conversion upon the closing of this offering of the Series A Preferred Stock and the issuance of shares of common stock to our 15% secured convertible promissory note holders, which includes an aggregate of up to 11,636,090 shares of our Common Stock.

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 30% of the shares offered for sale in this offering (after deducting underwriting discount and commissions of $2,500,000, $1,875,000, $1,250,000 and $750,000, respectively, and our estimated other offering expenses of $600,000):

The following tables set forth, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 30% of the shares offered for sale in this offering (after deducting underwriting discount and commissions of $2,500,000, $1,875,000, $1,250,000 and $750,000, respectively, and our estimated other offering expenses of $600,000), as of June 30, 2015, the total number of shares previously sold to existing stockholders, the total consideration paid for the foregoing and the average price paid per share. As the table shows, new investors purchasing shares may in certain circumstances pay an average price per share substantially higher than the average price per share paid by our existing stockholders:

The tables above include up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the automatic conversion of up to 10,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock into such shares of Common Stock and 1,636,090 shares of Common Stock to be issued upon retirement of $818,045 of principal and interest of the 15% secured convertible promissory notes in conjunction with the closing of this offering and our payment of $0.50 per share to each holder of the converted Series A Preferred Stock.

We have engaged W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC (the “Underwriter”) with respect to the Offered Shares. We anticipate entering into an underwriting agreement setting forth the definitive terms and conditions of the sale of the Offered Shares on or immediately prior to the date on which the SEC initially qualifies the Offering Statement (the “Qualification Date”).

Subject to certain conditions, the Underwriter has agreed to use its best efforts to procure potential purchasers for the Offered Shares. This offering is being undertaken on a best efforts only basis. The Underwriter is not required to take or pay for any specific number or dollar amount of our Common Stock. The Underwriter will have the right to engage such other FINRA member firms as it determines to assist in this offering.

The Offered Shares will be issued in one or more closings. For the initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) and each subsequent additional closing (“Additional Closing”), all proceeds for such closing will be kept in an interest bearing escrow account maintained by FundAmerica Securities, LLC for the benefit of the investors in accordance with Rule 15c2-4 under the Exchange Act. Upon each closing, the proceeds collected for such closing will be disbursed to the Company and the Offered Shares for such closing will be issued to investors. The Underwriter and the participating broker-dealers (the “Selling Group”) must sell the minimum number of shares set forth in this offering circular (the “Minimum Offering”) if any shares are to be sold at all. The escrow account will be opened immediately prior to the Qualification Date and will remain open until the offering terminates without the Minimum Offering having been reached, or if the Initial Closing occurs, until the last Additional Closing date(s). All funds received into the escrow account will be held in an interest bearing account in accordance with Rule 15c2-4 under the Exchange Act. All funds will be transmitted directly by wire or electronic funds transfer via ACH to the specified bank account maintained by FundAmerica Securities, LLC per the instructions in the subscription agreement. FundAmerica Securities, LLC may accept checks from investors if such investors meet certain eligibility requirements. The Underwriter will not accept or handle any funds. The subscription agreement is available at www. .com. FundAmerica Securities, LLC, which will be the escrow agent, will notify the Underwriter when the full amount necessary to purchase the Minimum Offering has been received. If, on the Termination Date, investor funds are not received in respect of the Minimum Offering, then all investor funds that were deposited into the escrow account will be returned promptly to investors and the offering will terminate. FundAmerica Securities, LLC will retain up to $_____ of interest accrued from funds deposited in the escrow account regardless of whether the offering closes as partial compensation for serving as the escrow agent.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting commissions to be paid to the Underwriter.

(1) The underwriting discount and commissions do not include the expense reimbursement, advisory fee, or Underwriter’s Warrants, as described below.

Offered Shares sold to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this Offering Circular. Any shares sold to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to $___ per share from the initial public offering price. After the initial offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling terms may be subject to change. The offering of the shares is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the right of the Company to reject any subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason.

FundAmerica Securities, LLC has been engaged to provide certain technology and escrow services in connection with this offering. The Underwriter has agreed to pay FundAmerica Securities, LLC a facilitation fee equal to 0.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the securities being offered. In addition, the Underwriter has agreed to pay certain technology service fees to FundAmerica Securities, LLC for the technology services provided by its affiliate in the offering, including the online platform by which subscribers may receive, review, execute and deliver subscription agreements electronically. We have engaged FundAmerica Securities, LLC to serve as escrow agent for the offering. As partial compensation for serving as escrow agent, FundAmerica Securities, LLC will retain up to $5,000 of interest accrued from funds deposited in the escrow account whether or not the offering closes. In the event more than $_____ in interest accrues on funds deposited in the escrow account, the excess will be distributed to each subscriber in the same proportion as such subscriber’s investment bears to the gross proceeds of the offering. FundAmerica Securities, LLC is also entitled to certain other itemized administrative fees, not to exceed a maximum of $_______. FundAmerica Securities, LLC is not participating as an underwriter of the offering and will not solicit any investment in the Company, recommend the Company's securities or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, or distribute the offering circular or other offering materials to investors. All inquiries regarding this offering or escrow should be made directly to the Company or the Underwriter.

We are currently party to an engagement agreement with the Underwriter. The term of the engagement agreement began on August 1, 2015 and will continue for one year, until August 1, 2016, unless one of the following events occurs prior to August 1, 2016, in which case the engagement agreement would be terminated early:

Compensation for Advisory Services. As part of the engagement agreement, the Underwriter agreed to provide us with financial advice and assistance concerning our business. As compensation for these advisory services, we agreed to pay the Underwriter $10,000 per month during the term of the engagement agreement. If the engagement agreement were to stay in place for a period of 12 months, we would pay the Underwriter a total of $120,000 as compensation for its advisory services.

Offering Expenses. We are responsible for all offering fees and expenses, including the following: (i) fees and disbursements of our legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals we engage; (ii) fees and expenses incurred in the production of offering documents, including design, printing, photograph, and written material procurement costs; (iii) all filing fees, including FINRA and blue sky filing fees; (iv) all of the legal fees related to the registration and qualification of the Offered Shares under state securities laws and FINRA clearance (not to exceed $30,000 in the aggregate); and (v) our transportation, accommodation, and other roadshow expenses. To the extent that any of our fees and expenses are paid by the Underwriter with our approval, we will, upon request, reimburse the Underwriter for such fees and expenses.

Reimbursable Expenses in the Event of Termination. In the event the offering does not close or the engagement agreement is terminated for any reason (other than termination due to the Underwriter’s material failure to provide its services), we have agreed to reimburse the Underwriter for all unreimbursed, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, expenses, and disbursements, including the Underwriter’s legal fees, up to $100,000. However, the amount of reimbursable expenses to be paid to the Underwriter will be reduced by the amount of financial advisory fees we have paid to the Underwriter. For a description of the financial advisory fees, see “Compensation for Advisory Services” above.

Termination Fee. If we terminate the engagement agreement and then consummate a public offering in which the Underwriter does not serve as the Underwriter or placement agent within six months of such termination, then we have agreed to pay the Underwriter a termination fee equal to $100,000. However, the termination fee will be reduced by the amount of reimbursable expenses and financial advisory fees we have paid to the Underwriter. See “Reimbursable Expenses” and “Compensation for Advisory Services” above. The termination fee is not payable in the event we terminate the engagement agreement due to the Underwriter’s material failure to provide the services contemplated by the engagement agreement.

Underwriting Commission. We have agreed that the definitive underwriting agreement will provide for us to pay a commission of 5.0% of the gross offering proceeds to the Underwriter as compensation immediately upon consummation of the offering. Any financial advisory fees we have paid to the Underwriter will be deducted from the commission.

Upon each closing of this offering, we have agreed to issue Underwriter’s Warrants to the Underwriter to purchase a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the total shares of the Common Stock sold in such closing. The Underwriter’s Warrants are exercisable commencing on the Qualification Date, and will be exercisable for five years. The Underwriter’s Warrants are not redeemable by us. The exercise price for the Underwriter’s Warrants will be the amount that is 15% greater than the public offering price, or $____.

The Underwriter’s Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the Underwriter’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. The Underwriter, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not exercise, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Underwriter’s Warrants or the Common Stock underlying the Underwriter’s Warrants, nor will the Underwriter or permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Underwriter’s Warrants or the underlying shares for a period of 180 days from the Qualification Date, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any underwriter or selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers or partners if the Underwriter’s Warrants or the underlying shares so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period. The Underwriter’s Warrants will provide for adjustment in the number and price of the Underwriter’s Warrants and the shares underlying such Underwriter’s Warrants in the event of recapitalization, merger, stock split, or other structural transaction, or a future financing undertaken by us.

We and our officers, directors, and our current stockholders have agreed, or will agree, with the Underwriter, subject to certain exceptions, that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, we and they will not, directly or indirectly, during the period ending 180 days after the date of the Offering Circular:

This agreement does not apply, in our case, to securities issued pursuant to existing employee benefit plans or securities issued upon exercise of options, and other exceptions, and in the case of our officers, directors and other holders of our securities, exercise of stock options issued pursuant to a stock option or similar plans, and other exceptions.

We will apply to the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) to list shares of our common under the symbol “NEWZ.” In order to meet one of the requirements for listing our common stock on NASDAQ, the Underwriter intends to sell lots of 100 or more shares to a minimum of 300 beneficial holders. Our common stock will not commence trading on NASDAQ until the all of the following conditions are met: (i) the Minimum Offering is closed; (ii) the offering is terminated; and (iii) we have filed a post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement and a registration statement on Form 8-A under the Exchange Act, and such post-qualification amendment is qualified by the SEC and the Form 8-A has become effective. Pursuant to applicable rules under Regulation A, the Form 8-A will not become effective until the SEC qualifies the post-qualification amendment. We intend to file the post-qualification amendment and request its qualification immediately prior to the termination of this offering in order that the Form 8-A may become effective as soon as practicable.

Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the Offered Shares. The initial public offering price was determined by negotiation between us and the Underwriter. The principal factors considered in determining the initial public offering price include:

We have agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we will contribute to the payments the Underwriter and its selling agents, affiliates and controlling persons may be required to make in respect of these liabilities.

The Underwriter and its affiliates are engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Underwriter and its affiliates may in the future perform various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer. The Underwriter and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth). Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

Because this is a Tier 2, Regulation A offering, most investors must comply with the 10% limitation on investment in the offering. The only investor in this offering exempt from this limitation is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). If you meet one of the following tests you should qualify as an Accredited Investor:

This offering will start on or after the Qualification Date and will terminate if the Minimum Offering is not reached or, if it is reached, on the Termination Date.

Go to www. .com, click on the “Invest Now” button and follow the procedures as described.

Any potential investor will have ample time to review the subscription agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. We shall only deliver such subscription agreement upon request after a potential investor has had ample opportunity to review this Offering Circular.

Right to Reject Subscriptions. After we receive your complete, executed subscription agreement and the funds required under the subscription agreement have been transferred to the escrow account, we have the right to review and accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.

Acceptance of Subscriptions. Upon our acceptance of a subscription agreement, we will countersign the subscription agreement and issue the shares subscribed at closing. Once you submit the subscription agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request your subscription funds. All accepted subscription agreements are irrevocable.

Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, non-accredited, non-natural investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser’s most recent fiscal year end). A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

NOTE: For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Offered Shares.

In order to purchase Offered Shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to the Company’s satisfaction, that he is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors”, “Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

NewsBeat Social, Inc. (“NBS”) is a video-first news agency, gathering news coverage from around the world and distributing one-minute, fact-intensive news reports across social media. We were formed in April 2012 and began our business operations on February 8, 2013. Since inception, our business has expanded significantly, and we have gathered and distributed a total of 30,000 news reports, reaching viewers in 236 countries and territories around the world. Today, we have 30 full-time employees who gather and distribute over 50 news reports a day. Since 2014, Facebook users have been presented with NBS news videos over 8.1 billion times, resulting in 403 million video “views” (lasting 3 seconds or more) with a growth rate of 458% between 2014 and 2015, and a Facebook fan base of approximately 2.8 million people as of the end of 2015 (up 27% from the previous year-end). From December 2014 to December 2015, the size of our Facebook audience (i.e., the number of discrete individual user accounts given the opportunity to watch our news reports) increased 64%, to approximately 59 million per month. From 2014 to 2015, the engagement rate of our Facebook audience (i.e., the percentage of such user accounts who view our news reports and “like”, comment on or share them, expressed as an average of the 12 monthly engagement rate averages in a year) increased 87%, to 15% of our audience. NBS has been able to achieve this growth in audience and engagement rate while keeping news gathering and distribution costs below $100 per news report.

We believe our approach to news gathering and distribution offers a disruptive alternative to the model followed by most of the global news industry, principally as a result of our cost structure, the consumer experience we provide and the advertising model we are developing. See “Our Business”.

We consider it an important part of our business model that we maintain the average cost of our news reports at a low level compared to traditional news organizations. We track our average cost per news report based on the “Production, distribution and video management fees” line item in our consolidated statements of operations. This line item includes the costs the costs of news report video, writing, editing and anchoring.

The following table summarizes the consolidated the results of our operations for the periods presented:

Any review by investors of non-GAAP financial measures that we present should only be made in conjunction with a review of the GAAP financial measures we also present. Non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as analytical tools, should not be viewed as a substitute for measures of operating and net results, cash flows and financial condition determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results, cash flows and financial condition as reported under GAAP. Moreover, non-GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

Revenues. NBS distributes its one-minute news reports on Facebook and to a lesser extent on other social media platforms. We are currently expanding our news gathering and distribution capabilities in order to grow our global reach and audience, while investing in the development of advertising opportunities to earn revenue and beginning to invest in syndication and subscription opportunities to earn revenue. Revenues in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 were earned from corporate customer advertising, sold while our advertising product offering remains under continuing development.

Production, distribution and video management fees. Our production, distribution and video management costs include the costs of our one-minute news reports and their distribution through social media, principally Facebook, including the costs of news report video, writing, editing and anchoring. Such costs were essentially steady from the first six months of 2015 to the first six months of 2014, decreasing by $2,056 to $531,895 in the 2015 interim period, as compared to $533,951 in the 2014 interim period. Rates of production of our one-minute news videos remained relatively constant in both periods.

Legal and professional. Legal and professional expenses increased by $26,878, to $48,324 in the first six months of 2015 as compared to $21,446 in the first six months of 2014, or an increase of 125.3%. The increase was principally due to additional activities related to our growth, including legal representation in private placement financing activities, the costs of establishing corporate procedures and an increase in accounting expenses.

Stock based compensation. Our stock based compensation expense includes the non-cash costs of Common Stock issued for services, stock options issued for services and warrants issued for services. The following are the components of stock based compensation for the June 30, 2015 and 2014 six-month periods:

Stock option expense in the 2015 interim period as compared to the 2014 interim period did not differ materially, however the expense increased as a result of recognition in 2015 as compared to 2014 of expense of with respect to a greater number of the cumulative options granted. Warrant expense for services decreased to $32,466 in the 2015 interim period as compared to $171,520 in the comparable 2014 interim period. Although the 1,125,000 warrants issued in the 2015 period represented an increase as compared to the 1,025,000 warrants issued in the 2014 period, the number of warrants issued for services declined in the 2015 interim period as compared to the 2014 interim period. Of the 2015 warrant issuances, 800,000 were issued in connection with the issuance of $500,000 of our 15% secured convertible promissory notes in 2015. The fair value of those warrants was accounted for as debt discount which is being amortized over the life of the corresponding notes.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative. Selling, marketing, general and administrative expense includes, among other expenses, the fees Facebook and other social media platforms charge us for promoting our news reports to their audiences. Total selling, marketing, general and administrative expense decreased in the 2015 interim period to $380,748 from $417,959 in 2014. This decrease is a result of administrative staff reductions, reduction in travel costs associated principally with establishing operating locations and with fund raising activities, and a reduction in personnel recruiting costs. Management salaries, which are included in selling, marketing, general and administrative expense, decreased to $124,313 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $171,616 in the 2014 comparable period, in part because an executive originally hired in January 2014 was terminated in June 2014 and not replaced. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in consulting fees and rent expense in 2015 as compared to 2014.

Other expense – interest expense. Interest expense incurred in the 2015 interim period increased to $135,721, as compared to $3,107 in the 2014 interim period, as a result interest expense related to indebtedness under the $600,000 7% convertible promissory note and the $700,000 of 15% secured convertible promissory notes and the amortization of debt discount arising from the fair value of warrants issued to the 15% note holders. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for greater detail on these arrangements.

Net loss. For the foregoing reasons, our net loss was $1,252,324 for the first six months of 2015 and $1,235,555 for the first six months of 2014, representing an increase in net loss of $16,769, or 1.4%.

The results for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 are discussed below only to the extent they reflect information or trends materially different from those described for the results the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Revenues. NBS distributes its one-minute news reports on Facebook and to a lesser extent on other social media platforms. We are currently expanding our news gathering and distribution capabilities in order to grow our global reach and audience, while investing in the development of advertising opportunities to earn revenue and beginning to invest in syndication and subscription opportunities to earn revenue. In 2013 we began providing services to a client to assist them in creating their online presence as an advertiser through Facebook. The increase in our revenue is attributable to providing a full year of service in 2014 as compared to 2013.

Production, distribution and video management fees. Our production, distribution and video management costs include the costs of our one-minute news reports and their distribution through social media, principally Facebook, including the costs of news report video, writing, editing and anchoring. These activities commenced in 2013. Such costs increased by $459,903 to $1,132,472 in 2014, as compared to $672,569 in 2013, or an increase of 68.4%, principally as result of a full year of operations in 2014 as compared to 2013, hiring additional personnel and obtaining the necessary resources to grow production capacities from zero news reports per day to a production rate of approximately 50 per day.

Legal and professional. Legal and professional expenses increased by $67,298, to $83,446 in 2014 as compared to $16,148 in 2013, or an increase of 416.8%. The increase was principally due to additional activities related to our growth, including legal representation in private placement financing activities, the costs of establishing corporate procedures and an increase in accounting expenses.

Stock based compensation. The following are the components of stock based compensation for the 2014 and 2013 annual periods:

Stock based compensation increased by $8,102,237, to $8,364,946 in 2014 as compared to $262,709 in 2013, or an increase of 3,084%. The principal reason for the increase was the issuance of 17,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Kurt Thomet, a major shareholder and director, of which 15,800,000 shares were issued in recognition of services he rendered to NBS as an active participant and advisor to our CEO and management and as an advisor to and member of our Board of Directors, and 1,200,000 shares were issued as a financing fee to him for his personal guarantee of $600,000 of 15% secured convertible promissory notes issued by us. These shares were valued at $8,500,000 based upon the value at which our shares were being sold for cash at the time, or $0.50 per share, with $600,000 being recognized as a financing fee in connection with the personal guarantee and $7,900,000 being recognized as consulting fees. Shares in 2013 were issued to members of the Board of Advisors at various prices consistent with per share prices for which the Company was issuing shares for cash at such various points in time.

Stock option expense represents the fair value of options earned over the period of service. The fair value of warrants issued for services are expensed in the period of issuance, and those issued in connection with convertible promissory notes are amortized over the life of the debt and included in interest expense. The fair value of options and warrants are in each case determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In 2013 and 2014, 6,375,000 and 3,725,000 stock options, respectively, were granted. Stock option expense in 2014 of $269,640 increased as compared to the $71,980 expense in 2013, as a result of the 2013 options and related amortization of their fair value being incurred for a full year in 2014, in combination with new 2014 grants. Warrant expense of $195,306 in 2014 increased from $70,729 in 2013, as a result of an increase in the number of warrants issued for services and issuances connection in with financing transactions.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $76,832, to $789,413 in 2014 as compared to $712,581 in 2013, or an increase of 10.8%. This increase is generally reflective of the growth of our operations, which commenced in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to a full year of operations in 2014. Costs with significant increases included insurance, facilities, employee benefit expense and corporate travel. Management salaries increased in 2014 to $308,292, from 127,077 in 2013, principally as a result of a full year of operations in 2014 and $60,000 in salary paid to an officer hired and terminated in 2014 and not replaced, and the hiring of new executives.

Other expense – interest expense and financing fee. In 2014 we incurred $625,355 in interest expense, debt discount amortization and a financing fee, all non-cash, as compared to no such costs in 2013. As discussed under stock based compensation, in 2014 we incurred a $600,000 financing fee, which was paid in shares to Mr. Thomet, for the guarantee of $600,000 of our 15% secured convertible promissory notes. In addition, a $100,000 investment in these notes was made by the guarantor himself. We also incurred non-cash interest in connection with the 15% secured convertible promissory notes and a $600,000 7% convertible promissory note issued to Mr. Thomet.

Net loss. We incurred a net loss of $10,895,263 in 2014, as compared to a $1,673,033 loss in 2013, for the reasons discussed above. If the $8,500,000 expense associated with the grant of 17,000,000 shares of Common Stock is disregarded, our 2014 net loss would have been $2,395,263.

Our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, at June 30, 2015, we had cash of $123,867, a working capital deficiency of $222,273 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1.29 million, and at December 31, 2014, we had cash of $192,556, a working capital deficiency of $31,996 and a stockholders’ deficit of $619,120. We have generated minimal revenues and have incurred net losses since inception, including a net loss of $10,895,263 for the year ended December 31, 2014. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Since inception, our principal sources of operating funds have been cash proceeds from the sale of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes, and cash received from the exercise of common stock purchase warrants. We expect that our current cash on hand will fund our operations through June 30, 2016. However, we will need to raise additional capital in order to meet our obligations and execute our business plan for at least the next twelve-month period thereafter. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to extend payables, reduce overhead or scale back its business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

15% secured convertible promissory notes. In December 2014 and January 2015, we received $700,000 in proceeds from the private issuance of 15% secured promissory notes. The notes, including accrued interest, become due in whole but not in part on the earlier of (i) 10 days after we receive minimum gross proceeds of $10 million of an equity financing or (ii) December 31, 2016, as amended. In February 2016, the Company and the holders of the notes entered into an amendment of the conversion terms of the notes. Under the amended conversion terms, at any time prior to maturity, outstanding principal and accrued interest can be converted at the sole discretion of the noteholder into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to eighty cents ($0.80) per share. In the event the Company receives net proceeds of greater than $3,000,000 in an equity financing, other than in an equity financing relating to the Company’s Series A preferred stock, the noteholder may convert into shares of Common Stock (or such other type of equity security sold in the financing), on the same terms and conditions as the other purchasers of such securities, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) 80% of the price paid per share by other purchasers in the equity financing of at least $3,000,000, and (b) eighty cents ($0.80) per share, except with respect to the sale or issuance by the Company of shares of its Series A preferred stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company completes an equity financing in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $25,000,000 (a “Qualified Financing”), then, within 10 business days after the closing of the Qualified Financing, the notes, plus accrued interest as of the closing date of the Qualified Financing, shall be repaid by the Company, and the noteholders will be issued the a number of shares of restricted Common Stock determined by dividing the sum of the principal of the notes plus accrued interest as of the closing date of the Qualified Financing by $0.50. If all such warrants were exercised, we would receive $466,667 in additional proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event we do not raise more than $25,000,000 in gross proceeds in this offering then, consistent with the purpose of the Series A Preferred Stock offering, which was to provide us with interim financing until we were able to consummate a substantial financing transaction, we intend to distribute an aggregate of up to $5,000,000to our Series A Preferred Stock holders at such time and in such manner as, in the judgment of our Board of Directors, can be accommodated by our cash flows while not interfering with our ability to implement our business plan, and to convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock into one share of Common Stock.

7% convertible promissory note. On June 2, 2014 we received $600,000 in proceeds from the private issuance of a 7% convertible promissory note. The note was purchased by Mr. Thomet. This note had an original maturity date of November 2, 2015, and was convertible at any time prior to maturity at the holder’s option into common stock or an equivalent equity security at $0.60 per common share. On November 17, 2015, we issued 1,319,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in full satisfaction of this note, including accrued interest of $59,500.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In the period from May 5, 2015 to January 31, 2016, the Company issued 7,016,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as follows: 3,992,000 shares for cash proceeds of $1,996,000; 1,705,000 shares for services valued at $852,500, including 200,000 shares to our current CFO for prior consulting services; and 1,319,000 shares in satisfaction of the matured 7% convertible promissory note and accrued interest thereon in the aggregate amount of $659,500 to the Kurt Thomet. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, in the event of an equity financing of at least $25 million, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock would automatically be converted into an equal number of shares of Common Stock, and we would be required to pay the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock $0.50 per share.

At June 30, 2015, we had 3,213,333 common stock purchase warrants outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.48 per share. If all such warrants were exercised, we would receive proceeds approximating $1,542,400 and we would be required to issue 3,213,333 shares of Common Stock. At June 30, 2015 we also had 9.7 million common stock purchase options outstanding exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $0.37 per share. Of these, 6,625,000 options were exercisable at an approximate average exercise price of $0.31. If all the 9.7 million common stock purchase options were exercised, we would receive proceeds approximating $3,589,000 and we would be required to issue 9.7 million shares of Common Stock. There can be no assurance, however, that any such warrants or options will be exercised.

We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time. We do, however, purchase equipment and software necessary to conduct our operations on an as needed basis.

We do not have any material ongoing material contracts that extend beyond a one-year period or which are not cancellable sooner. The lease for our current space expires on in April 2016, and we intend to extend this lease for a six month period on a month-to-month basis. We have no material contingent obligations.

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our independent registered public accounting firm 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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses relate to the absence of internal accounting personnel with the ability to properly account for complete transactions and a lack of separation of duties between accounting and other functions.

We hired our CFO, Myron Landin, in November 2015. Although we are aware of the risks associated with not having additional accounting personnel, we are also at an early stage in the development of our business. We expect to expand our accounting function and improve our internal accounting procedures and separation of duties as we grow our business and can more readily absorb the costs of such expansion and improvements. In the meantime, management will continue to observe and assess our internal accounting function and make necessary improvements whenever they may be required.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of the Company's common stock, stock-based compensation, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company's deferred tax assets.

GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments (the beneficial conversion feature) based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The fair value of the Company’s common stock was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of its common shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on applicable accounting guidance, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value:

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The fair value of the Company's cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates the carrying amounts of such instruments due to their short maturity. The fair value of the convertible promissory notes approximates the carrying amount because the rate and terms currently available to the Company approximate the rate and terms on the existing debt.

The Company applies the accounting standards for distinguishing liabilities from equity when determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock. Shares that are subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares, which include preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as stockholders' equity.

The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (iii) do not permit the holder to readily convert into cash due to an inactive trading market. The Company classifies any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (iii) contain reset provisions as either an asset or a liability. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. The Company determined that its freestanding derivatives, which principally consist of warrants to purchase common stock, satisfied the criteria for classification as equity instruments.

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15,”Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15, which is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on how to perform a going-concern assessment and when going-concern disclosures would be required under GAAP. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results from operations. Management’s evaluations regarding the events and conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as discussed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes—Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-I T”). ASU 2015-17 eliminates the requirement to separate deferred tax assets and liabilities into a current and non-current amount and provides that all deferred tax balances be classified as non-current. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2015-17 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

We have implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NewsBeat Social, Inc. (“NBS”) is a video-first news agency, gathering news coverage from around the world and distributing one-minute, fact-intensive news reports across social media. We were formed in April 2012 and began operations on February 8, 2013. Since inception, our business has expanded significantly, and we have gathered and distributed a total of 30,000 news reports, reaching viewers in 236 countries and territories around the world. Today, we have 30 full-time employees who gather and distribute over 50 news reports a day. Since 2014, Facebook users have been presented with NBS news videos over 8.1 billion times, resulting in 403 million video “views” (lasting 3 seconds or more) with a growth rate of 458% between 2014 and 2015, and a Facebook fan base of approximately 2.8 million people as of the end of 2015 (up 27% from the previous year-end). From December 2014 to December 2015, the size of our Facebook audience (i.e., the number of discrete individual user accounts given the opportunity to watch our news reports) increased 64%, to approximately 59 million a month. From 2014 to 2015, the engagement rate of our Facebook audience (i.e., the percentage of such user accounts who view our news reports and “like”, comment on or share them, expressed as an average of the 12 monthly engagement rate averages in a year) increased 87%, to 15% of our audience. NBS has been able to achieve this growth in audience and engagement rate while keeping news gathering and distribution costs below $100 per news report.

We believe our approach to news gathering and distribution offers a disruptive alternative to the model followed by most of the global news industry, principally as a result of:

“The big opportunity for the news industry in the next five to 10 years is to increase its market size 100x AND drop prices 10x. Become larger and much more important in the process”. — Marc Andreessen, founder, Andreessen Horowitz, in Wired Magazine, Feb 27, 2014

The gathering and distribution of news has always been shaped by technology. As communication technologies have developed from the printing press to radio to television to cable and to the Internet, the format of how news is gathered, produced and delivered has evolved as well. Today, the Internet and, more specifically, social media and smart mobile phones, are driving a fundamental, global shift in the news industry. The advent of mobile technology and the 60% compound annual growth of global mobile broadband internet connections over the last 10 years (to over 1.4 billion connections in 2014) have created an environment that allows consumers to access and consume media on devices of all sizes anywhere in the world at any time. Mobile broadband connections are expected to further expand to 3.17B connections by 2020, comprising nearly 70% of mobile connections globally, according to the GMSA’s Mobile Economy 2015 report. The global news industry, which we estimate to be approximately $174 billion in size (based on a combination of newspaper, TV, radio and other statistics from 2015, 2014 and 2013 sources published by McKinsey, IBIS and Pew), was traditionally distributed by broadcast distribution formats such as newspapers, magazines, radio and television, but is giving way to socially distributed news reports enabled by mobile devices.For example, according to the Pew Research Center’s State of the News Media 2015 Report, in the U.S., 63% of Facebook users and the same percentage of Twitter users received their news via these social media sites, up from 47% and 52%, respectively, two years earlier.

Before the widespread adoption of social media, the news industry was largely structured around broadcast analog media formats such as newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. News offerings were mostly designed to reach a broad and general audience, and news reports were mostly intended to have broad and general appeal. Revenue streams and cost structures were established around these formats, with most consumers having little choice but to purchase an entire package of news at a time, from a small number of alternative offerings. Recently, as social media and digital distribution have expanded, broadcast news formats are being disaggregated, often to the level of individual news reports. Consumers are able to access and select individual news reports digitally, at times chosen by them, with social media replacing the curation function historically performed by news publishers and producers. Moreover, social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, Apple News, Google News, Smart News and Flipboard, are able to distribute vast amounts of news headlines to their users on a curated basis, using a combination of user data and computer algorithms. According to Facebook’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2015, an average of 1.01 billion people checked into Facebook each day during that quarter, and 89% of them logged in from a mobile device.

We believe that, in this rapidly evolving environment, a successful social media news reporting organization is one that understands that the report, rather than a package of multiple reports and other enticements, is the new format for distribution. NBS standardizes its reporting format based on this understanding making sure that its news is:

Changes in news consumption have put traditional news organizations and their operating models under pressure. Newspapers have taken the largest hit from the digital transition, with the U.S. newspaper industry declining from $46.16 billion in sales in 2003 to $19.9 billion in sales in 2013, according to the Pew Research Center’s State of the News Media 2015 Report. According to the same report, cable television is slowly losing viewers, with an audience decline of 18% between 2008 and 2015. Local and larger TV news networks are experiencing stability for now, but they too may start to lose audience – the majority of surveyed under-30 consumers view the majority of their film and television programs on mobile devices, where broadcast television news outlets still do not have meaningful a la carte offerings, according to Deloitte’s Digital Democracy Survey, 9th edition.

In response to these declines, traditional news providers are pursuing a series of consumer-unfriendly tactics, including sensationalized reporting, sponsored or native advertorials (where an advertiser pays a news organization to produce content that looks and feels like a news story but is actually an advertisement), clickbait headlines, paywalls and advertisements that interrupt the audience consumption experience. We believe that, in part as a result of these tactics, according to a September 28, 2015 Gallup.com poll, currently only 4 in 10 Americans say they have “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of trust and confidence in mass media organizations to report the news fully, accurately and fairly. According to Gallup, this is down from 53% in 1997 and is a historic low. This trend toward distrust is even more prevalent within the 18- to 49-year old demographic, with trust in news organizations declining from 55% in 1997 to 36% in 2015, according to Gallup. These shifts in viewership and attitudes are threatening legacy news companies, and we believe have created a group of consumers ready to turn to innovators in the online and mobile spaces to deliver news content that improves the news consumer experience rather than hurts it. This requires a fundamentally different economic model for gathering and distributing news, something that we at NBS believe we have developed.

According to McKinsey & Company’s Global Media Report 2014, the global media and entertainment market is a $726 billion market spanning newspapers, television, radio and magazines. As previously discussed, we estimate that the news sector accounts for approximately $174 billion, or 24%, of that market. We believe the consumption of digital news is increasing rapidly, driven by increased time spent by consumers (especially Millennials) on social media sites and increased use of and dependence on mobile devices. We believe that consumers are no longer happy to rely on legacy news broadcasters to receive their news, and are instead searching for reliable news sources that can be viewed online or on their mobile devices on a time-flexible basis and often in shorter form.

The total number of social media users is expected to increase to 2.44 billion globally by 2018, up from 1.96 billion globally in 2015, according to a report co-authored by eMarketer and the American Marketing Association. Digital video consumption by U.S. consumers is about 115 minutes a day, according to research published by eMarketer in April 2015. According to eMarketer, this consumption occurs across multiple viewing platforms, with mobile devices accounting for 51% of the total in the United States, up from 12.5% in 2000. News consumption through social media has increased as well. A study by Pew Research in association with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, released in July 2015, found an increase in the percentage of both Twitter and Facebook users using Twitter or Facebook, respectively, for news consumption, with 63% of Facebook users getting their news from Facebook in 2015, compared to 47% in 2013, and 63% of Twitter users getting their news from Twitter in 2015, compared to 52% in 2013. Facebook remains the most popular place to post and respond to news content, with 32% of Facebook users reporting that they post about government and politics on Facebook, and 28% saying they comment on these posts. We believe the projected growth of social media, digital video and mobile devices will only increase the speed of this transition in the media and entertainment market.

Advertisers are seeking to follow this shift in consumer behavior. According to Business Insider Intelligence from December 2014, social media advertising spending in the United States is expected to grow from $6.1 billion in 2013 to $14 billion in 2018, and is expected to increase from 45% of total advertising spend in 2013 to 66% in 2018. The fastest growing category of digital advertising is video advertising, with mobile video ads representing nearly a third of all digital video ad spend in 2015 and projected to grow to nearly half of the $13.3 billion U.S. digital video advertising market by 2020, according to a Business Insider Intelligence report from June 2015. The December 2014 Business Insider Intelligence projects that mobile video advertising spend in the United States will grow at a compound annual rate of 73% and top $4.4 billion by 2018, with desktop video growing at a compound annual rate of only 15% over the same period.

We believe there is a tremendous opportunity in the news industry to take advantage of the shift towards social media news distribution and the growth in social video advertising. Traditional news sources historically faced challenges securing advertising because broadcast news formats would inevitably include content which wasn’t suitable for brands to partner with (e.g. terrorism, violence, crime, etc.). With digital news reports being distributed individually, brands now have an opportunity to select which kinds of reports they would like to advertise around, without the fear that their ads will be associated with the wrong kind of report. In addition, we believe that news is one of the few categories of content that is organically suited for social media. Consumers like to talk, comment, engage with and share news reports, making them ideal for social media environments that algorithmically curate media presentment to users based on observed engagement from the audience.

Product: one-minute video news reports consumed on social media via mobile devices

Much of NBS’s operation resembles a traditional newsroom. At the start of each day, the newsroom reviews information online from multiple digital sources, including social media such as Twitter and Facebook and traditional media websites, and by using free web analytics tools such as Google Trends and NewsWhip, in order to identify the news reports to gather for our audience. These reports are assigned to teams within the newsroom, whose members work together to research, write, edit and finalize the reports. A key differentiator for NBS is its workflow process. We have refined our model over time so that today we can deliver over fifty news reports per month for every full-time equivalent newsroom employee, for less than $100 per report. Our operation allows us to gather and distribute video news reporting at a fraction of the cost we estimate to be incurred by many traditional television news organizations.

Revenue Model: An advertising light experience is a better experience for news consumers

Our success to date has laid the foundation for expanding our operations. Our expansion will focus on three main areas:

Our organization is focused on the gathering and distribution of news reports. Of our 30 full-time staff, 22 work directly on news gathering and distribution. Everyone involved in our newsroom has a journalism or communications undergraduate degree or relevant experience. We aim to hire journalists who are early in their careers, in order to help keep our costs down, reinforce our brand as a young, and innovative company and avoid generating news reports locked into the aging world views of legacy journalists.

Our distribution team is focused exclusively on seeking the maximum distribution for a given news report, including through the proper tagging of news reports for particular distribution platforms, and the scheduling and monitoring of news report posts. New employees in distribution are trained in our practices, which have been developed over the course of distributing over 30,000 news reports since 2013.

Our advisory board has, through consultations with management, helped shape the direction of the Company and helped it achieve its successes to date. Advisory board members include Mr. Reese Schonfeld, co-founder of CNN and the Food Network; Peter Shea, Owner of Entrepreneur Media; and Victoria Pope, Editor-in-Chief of Smithsonian Journeys.

The diagram below shows the steps and overall sequencing of our news gathering and distribution efforts:

Provide Short, Consistently Presented News Reports Covering Various “Beats”

We believe that where and how consumers choose to get their news is a function of convenience and efficiency as well as quality. A headline may communicate the core idea of a news item or encourage someone to read further, but it only delivers a small amount of information. On the other end of the spectrum is a documentary, which takes the audience through an in-depth analysis of a particular news issue. Our news format is designed to go beyond the headline, but ensure that only the key elements of the news story are communicated. These key elements are, for us, the who, what, when and where of the report. Our news anchors read one-minute news reports that users can watch and listen to at their time of choice (and will also be able to read when we initiate our consumer subscription service). The one-minute format provides sufficient time to inform a viewer about the facts of a news report, but has the benefit of avoiding the additional time and costs associated with editorial opinions, commentary or involved analysis.

Each day our managing and assignment editors work together with anchors, writers and video journalists locally in Portland, Oregon (18 FTE) as well as remotely in New York (1 FTE), Washington D.C. (1 FTE) and Manila (1 contractor), to determine the most important news stories of the day. All locations work together to submit ideas for news reports and the managing and assignment editor team ultimately decides which reports are gathered. Reports are continually added, deleted and prioritized based on developing events. We aim to have at least 50 news reports distributed each day, with none of them more than 48 hours older than the time of the underlying news event. We cover the news, and issue news reports, in several categories called “beats”, as shown in the diagram below:

We believe consumers want to see news reports if they are relevant to them. However, traditional analog news formats require an aggregation of news items, not all of which may be interesting to consumers, and which may be inconsistent in their content, length, voice, structure and timing. The growth in socially delivered news on Facebook and Twitter, as well as the growth of news aggregation services operated by or through Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, Apple News, Google News, Smart News, Flipboard and others, indicate to us that consumer preferences are changing towards a more personalized news environment. As an example of this growth, according to the Pew Research Center’s State of the News Media 2015 Report, in the U.S., 63% of Facebook users and the same percentage of Twitter users get their news via these social media sites, up from 47% and 52%, respectively, two years earlier.

We also believe consumers find it easier to filter and choose among news reports if the reports have standard, predictable characteristics that make them easy to process at the fast speeds at which people process social media feeds and information. However, traditional aggregation services do not report on the news themselves, and so end up delivering a broad range of news types and formats – everything from long-form print articles and videos, to short-form writing using thematic lists (“listicles”), to short-form blog and podcasts. This means that even though the aggregator can help connect a news consumer to relevant news and information, the reports themselves are still delivered through a variety of inconsistent formats that make easy and quick consumption difficult. In contrast, by reporting on the news ourselves, we provide news reports as a completely consistent news reporting experience, regardless of the headline or topic, so consumers don’t have to work hard to find the news they are interested in, and don’t have to adopt a “click and see” approach to finding out what kind of news report they are actually going to get.

When gathering and distributing news, it is a key priority of ours that no opinion be conveyed or implied to consumers. We aim to achieve this in a number of ways. First, we focus on gathering verifiable and factually accurate information for our news reports. Second, our one-minute format, and our focus on who, what, when and where, help to squeeze out opportunities for us to intentionally or unintentionally add spin or points of view to our reports. Essentially, the news format we have developed helps us deliver objective news reporting, simply by limiting the amount of time we have in which to cover a news event. In addition, we currently select only globally relevant news reports instead of regional or local coverage; we do this principally because we believe a large share of social media-based news consumers are globally oriented, but it also helps us avoid stories where the sources of information may be fewer and the risk of unintentionally injecting bias may consequently be higher. Management believes that a prime focus on objectivity is essential to attracting the largest audience possible.

Since inception, we have maintained a disciplined approach to our news gathering and distribution costs. We have built a scalable news operation with a lean cost structure, allowing us to gather and distribute news at a fraction of the cost of many traditional television news organizations.

As of December 31, 2015, we had 30 employees, spread among four locations globally. A majority of our news operations are conducted in-house at our 10,000-square foot headquarters in Portland, Oregon. Portland affords us a lower-cost operating environment than traditional big city news locations such as New York. Portland is the location for the majority of our operations, including researching and confirming news reports, filming the majority of our anchored coverage and conducting back office operations. We have built one stage at our Portland facility, but we have the option of constructing up to two more stages and room for growing our headcount.

The Portland location is supported by bureaus in New York City, Washington D.C., and Manila in the Philippines. Our remote bureaus consist of “backpack reporters” who are on-camera news journalists each equipped with a camera, microphones, an iPad, a tripod and a laptop all fit into a backpack. Additionally, we have certain remote video reporters who do not appear on-camera, but can capture video footage on location using a mobile phone, which they send back to our Portland newsroom. Our remote news anchors and video reporters are assigned news reports in a fashion similar to local anchors, but write and shoot their own stories, typically on location. Since they spend most of their work time on location, they typically produce three to five stories a day, which is a smaller number than the six to eight reports typically gathered each day by a full-time journalist in Portland.

Our backpack reporters replace the traditional satellite truck at a fraction of the cost, while maintaining a great deal of mobility. In addition, our backpack reporters are able to set up their equipment, film a report, and transfer it to our Portland headquarters in an average of twenty minutes per report. Our backpack reporters tend not to leave their respective metro areas, which minimizes expensive travel and accommodation costs associated with traditional newsrooms. In addition to being highly cost-efficient, these backpack reporters can be used tactically to capture news in emerging media markets that may not otherwise get air time from traditional news outlets. We have started a remote resource in Manila to augment our news gathering, copywriting and fact-checking functions.

Using remote bureaus and global operations, combined with a scaled newsroom in Portland, has allowed us to develop a high-volume production workflow that generates and distributes news reports for less than $100 each. For most of the time we have been operating, our production costs have been below $100 per news report. In the future, we intend to continue to manage the cost per news report and to manage any increased throughput to try to keep our cost per news report as low as possible while also adding additional administration and overhead to the business.

The chart below illustrates the cost of producing and distributing our news reports, from January 2014 to December 2015. In general, the more news reports we gather, the lower the cost per report, as fixed costs are spread over more reports.

Workflow systems are at the heart of our ability to deliver news reports at a low cost. We use a modified version of an off-the-shelf workflow management system to track, prioritize, and assign reports and to manage these reports through the entire news gathering and distribution process. We have continued to modify this system over time to add additional tools for the distribution and promotion of news reports, including building a contact database that associates particular contacts with particular news reports and beats. This has helped us create a database of contacts to use on demand for interviews, quotes and eventual news report distribution. Refinements to our workflow system and staffing model implemented during the fourth quarter of 2015 delivered a 19% improvement in the number of news reports per full-time equivalent newsroom employee, which increased to 52 reports per month when compared to the monthly average over the previous three quarters.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, our news reports cost an average of $81 per report, which we estimate to be 5 to 25 times less than traditional television news providers such as CNN, Fox News and MSNBC (based on cost information provided in the Pew Research Center’s State of the News Media 2013 report). We believe we can continue to reduce our cost per report as our business scales, including by adding more remote news anchors and reporters in lower-cost countries outside the United States. However, we expect the planned enhancements to our workflow system described below under “An “Uber-like” model for news gathering” to be the most transformational in terms of cost, quality and coverage.

In 2015, our newsroom gathered and distributed an average of 45 reports each business day with an average of 21 newsroom professionals working a standard shift, which amounted to 11,325 news reports over the course of 2015. Also in 2015, our news reports were presented over 2.8 billion times by Facebook (a 152% year-over-year increase from 2014), generating 349 million views (a 462% year-over-year increase from 2014). The chart below gives an overview of how the monthly volume of news reports affects the number of views on Facebook: the more reports we distribute, the more views we get:

To expand our news gathering operation, we are in the process of creating a 24/7 operation and are switching to multiple shifts within our Portland facility. We are also planning to open a second facility with similar operational capabilities – in Manila, in the Philippines, in order to cover the Asia-Pacific region more effectively – and to add several additional remote reporters in major urban areas around the globe.

We have already developed a scalable model for news reporting expansion using teams composed of anchors, news writers and video journalists. These teams work together throughout the day to write, check, shoot, and develop news reports. Once a news report is written and approved, a video is made of an anchor reading the news report in front of a green screen or on location. The video is then moved to the video editing team, which adds the images and videos that round out the development process. We that the number of these teams, and in many cases the size of these teams, can be expanded to efficiently drive the production of more news reports. While we expand our news gathering and distribution, we will continue to monitor our engagement rates per news report, to help ensure that the quality and appeal of our news coverage is maintained.

The NBS one-minute video news report format is designed for consistency. This consistency offers us a major opportunity to further improve our news gathering and distribution workflow. We intend to expand our current system to allow journalists anywhere in the world to work for us on a story-by-story basis. We will put each such journalist through an approval process, and we are creating online versions of our hiring, interviewing and training materials in order to help us approve journalists remotely and also remotely train others who aim to work for us. Approved journalists would not be full-time employees, but would instead work on demand, when our assignment editors require them.

Using this system, our assignment editors could push story requests out to a network of contributors in a given location where a news event is happening. If available, and for a fee determined by the local market, any approved journalist in the area could agree to pick up the story, gather the facts, capture on-site footage using their smart phone and even conduct on-site interviews. The raw digital report would then be sent to NBS for review, editing and anchor reading, while a video journalist collected the online footage and other assets necessary to generate a finished product.

By using this system to have some elements of our news gathering operation virtualized, we will gain the ability to scale reporting capacity up or down each day, depending on how many news events are happening that we wish to cover. We will also gain the ability to pay news writers and video journalists on demand only, and at their local market rates. In addition, we believe that having on-demand news writers and video journalists in multiple locations may help us capture more original footage of news events, boosting our overall news reporting quality.

We aim to capture as large an audience as possible with our news distribution. This requires an understanding of where and how our target consumers get their daily news and how our product format can be made to fit into our target distribution channels. We currently distribute news through social media platforms, which charge us for promoting our news reports to their audiences. We also distribute news on our own website. We manage our video distribution via our video content management system (or CMS), provided by Kaltura. Kaltura is an open-source, online platform providing enterprise-level commercial software and services, including for video management, publishing, syndication and monetization. The Kaltura platform also supports dynamic ad insertion capabilities which are used to support our advertising business.

According to a recent report by comScore entitled The 2015 U.S. Mobile App Report, our target Millennial customer spends 25.7 hours a month on Facebook’s mobile app, more than the next four most popular, similar platforms – Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr and Twitter – combined. 64% of the NBS audience on Facebook today is between the ages of 18-34, with Facebook distribution accounting for the majority of our audience. According to a survey in March 2015 by the American Press Institute, 88% of Millennials surveyed get their news at least occasionally from Facebook, the largest after YouTube (83%), Instagram (50%), Pinterest (36%), Twitter (33%), Reddit (23%) or Tumblr (21%). Younger Millennials (18-21) are more likely to use a broader mix of social channels to discover news, using 3.7 networks on average, while older Millennials (30-34) use 2.9 networks on average.

Accordingly, we will continue to focus our efforts on distributing our news reports through Facebook, but we believe there is significant opportunity to expand distribution on other platforms such as Reddit and Tumblr, as well as messaging apps such as Snapchat and WhatsApp.

The following is a description of the social media channels through which we operated as of December 31, 2015:

Facebook (1.55 billion monthly active users as of September 30, 2015): Facebook is our primary distribution platform, accounting for most of our video views. As of September 30, 2015, Facebook reported having 1.55 billion monthly active users, 8 billion daily video views, over 1 billion daily active users and 894 million daily active mobile users. Our format works well in the Facebook environment as a means of reaching our target market:

(Diagram not to scale. Data from Facebook, except for Friends of Fans of NBS data, which we estimate based on Facebook data on average numbers of Facebook friends in top 25 countries where NBS fans are located.)

Users are “fed” information from Facebook in their own personalized Newsfeed. A user’s Newsfeed is a stream of digital content, including pictures, status updates and videos, received from a user’s social connections (e.g. friends, family, colleagues etc.) and curated by Facebook’s algorithm for relevancy for the individual user based on the user’s profile. When NBS posts a news report to its Facebook page, Facebook decides what kind of priority this video will get in the feeds it sends to its users, based on its algorithm. In addition, Facebook’s propagation of the news report will increase the more engagement (views, comments, shares) it gets from its initial viewers. We believe that most Facebook users have the time and attention span needed to watch a one-minute news report while scrolling through their Facebook Newsfeed. We plan on establishing additional Facebook pages within the year, with such pages being tailored to more specific audiences (e.g., NewsBeat U.S., NewsBeat Science and Technology, etc.), so that users can more narrowly follow the topics that interest them, rather than getting a feed of all our news reports.

Set forth below are various screen shots of NBS news reports being viewed on Facebook:

3. The same report being shared with the user’s friends, with comments by the user:

Instagram (400 million monthly active users as of September 30, 2015): Instagram is an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos and share them on a variety of social networking platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr. We launched an Instagram account in late May 2015 and our account has grown to include 41,262 followers as of December 2015. Instagram is a visually-centric platform that has begun rolling out additional functionalities for companies to use to interact with their followers, including widescreen video and a partner program to help advertisers connect with their audiences. As a medium for news consumption, Instagram is not ideal, since it limits videos to 15 seconds. However, given Instagram’s popularity with our target audience, the platform is a valuable means of introducing our news service by creating visually sophisticated 15-second news reports without an anchor or audio track.

YouTube (1 billion monthly active users as of April 2014):We launched a YouTube channel in April 2015 and continue to release all our news reports on the YouTube platform. Unlike Facebook, YouTube is an active experience, requiring users to search for or take an action in order to view one of our news reports. As a direct-to-consumer channel, YouTube is not well suited for our format, since it is less likely that our target audience will actively “tune in” to our one-minute news reports. However, we have been successful in using YouTube as a distribution platform for other sites that would like to use our news service. For example, on five occasions in 2015, other web properties being distributed on YouTube have embedded our news reports in their coverage of events, resulting in views of our news reports of 198,000 or more.

Twitter (320 million monthly active users as of December 31, 2015): Twitter is the go-to breaking news service for the majority of its users, beating Facebook as a breaking news service by a 2 to 1 margin according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. However, given that we are not a breaking news service, Twitter does not currently generate a material amount of audience for us. Nevertheless, Twitter is an excellent place to access a community of newsmakers. We have recently begun to experiment with Twitter-based outreach to newsmakers to support our news gathering process, including Skype interviews and quotations.

There are opportunities available to us to generate indirect revenue through social media platforms. YouTube, among other platforms, offers news service providers the ability to monetize their product by having Google sell advertising around a video and share the proceeds with the owner of the video. We believe that this revenue-sharing model is likely to spread across multiple large-scale platforms, with Facebook having announced in July 2015 that they will begin to share revenue with content creators and news service providers on the same terms as YouTube. In addition, messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Snapchat are gaining in popularity, and we plan to use those platforms to deliver our news reports in the future.

We will continue to focus our social media distribution efforts on executing through Facebook, but we believe there is significant opportunity to expand distribution to other platforms, including Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr and Twitter, as well as on services such as Vine and Periscope. Before deciding to distribute on new platforms, NBS will identify the business objectives of each different distribution (e.g. marketing, viewing, community building, revenue, etc.) and then make the investments in products and technology required to achieve appropriately related goals.

To accommodate growth in the volume of news reports distributed and platforms used, NBS has entered into an agreement with SocialFlow, a technology company that optimizes social media posts from publishers. SocialFlow claims to be the largest publisher of content into social networks, and has several major national and international news and content publishers as clients. We believe that our agreement with SocialFlow will allow our distribution team to more efficiently handle a larger volume of news report posts across multiple social media channels, boosting distribution performance and improving operating scale.

We also intend to syndicate our news reports through third-party websites, as a business-to-business service. NBS is currently undertaking a market study to determine the appropriate pricing and technical requirements for entering this market, but expects that syndication will become a viable business opportunity only after we are delivering about 250 news reports a day, which is a benchmark we expect to reach in 2017, although we cannot assure you when or if we will reach it. In addition, we are planning to establish consumer subscriptions, whereby individual consumers could subscribe to our news reports directly from us. We expect to begin offering such consumer subscription services in 2016 or in 2017, although we cannot assure you when or if we will be able to do so. Both syndication and consumer subscriptions represent means by which we could generate additional distribution, as well as provide monetization opportunities.

It is a challenge for brands is to find ways to connect video advertising with targeted consumers on a consistent basis in a social media environment. Consumers do not typically share commercials with friends and our experience has been that companies that try to place traditional commercials inside social media fail to achieve wide distribution on social networks. The result has been a dramatic expansion of the content marketing industry, in which brands work with content marketers such as BuzzFeed to create content that works on social media while also carrying a branded message. This kind of advertising is typically referred to as “native”, “paid content” or “advertorial” in that the advertising is not made explicit for the consumer, but is instead contained within the message of the content itself. Creating native advertising requires substantial effort from the brand, for many reasons. For example, traditional advertising forms such as TV do not translate well into social media, in that consumers do not have a tendency to want to like, share, comment on or engage with traditional ads. So brands need to invest to learn a new kind of advertising form, where they must create advertising that looks and feels more like the sort of content users want to engage with – and bury a commercial message within.

In addition, studies show that consumers are frequently unable to identify the sponsor of various kinds of native advertising, making its effectiveness as a marketing tool difficult to estimate. A consumer study completed by Contently in September 2015 found that between 12% and 47% of consumers cannot identify the advertisers responsible for native advertising. In another study, in the Journal of Advertising in December 2015, only 8% of research participants were able to identify native advertising as a paid message. We therefore believe that there is a need in the advertising industry for a new model of advertising that can reach consumers on social media and be effective for the advertiser.

Social media platforms such as Facebook want content that is interesting to its user base. If something posted by a user or an organization is interesting, as defined by the number of people watching, commenting on, or sharing the content, Facebook will promote that content with the objective of delivering a better social media experience.

News as a category has the benefit of being something that is organically suited for social media, in that people want to share, discuss and engage socially in respect of news events that are relevant to them. The challenge news has historically had with advertising, is that advertisers needed to purchase ads that are placed within broadcast news formats such as a television news program or a news magazine. This approach is problematic, in that a brand’s advertisement can ends up being presented to a consumer alongside news reports that don’t match the brand’s objective (e.g. crime, terrorism, politics, etc.). But with news now being distributed as individual reports rather than in bundles, an advertiser can buy with confidence against a set of news reports that have traction for it on social media.

As we distribute our news reports, we can offer brands an opportunity to run traditional video commercials in front of and after our news reports. The news report is what the social media user is interested in, and the advertising is wrapped around it. This provides brands with consistent exposure to their target audience each day, with brand-safe news reports that are appropriate for social media distribution (e.g. they get engagement through likes, comments and shares). Using Facebook’s detailed consumer targeting engine, NBS can circulate news reports to an advertiser’s specific target audience, adding one or both of an advertiser’s 15-second “pre-roll” video ad and 30-second “post-roll” video ad to the beginning and end of the news report. Brands provide NBS with their target customers, their choice of beats whose news reports they wish to advertise around (with such news reports filtered, if the advertiser wishes, based on particular attributes of the news reports, such as, e.g., “innovation”), pre- and post-roll video commercials and a budget, and NBS fulfills the order as appropriate news reports are distributed. The foregoing method allows us to offer advertisers an efficient way to connect with their target audiences by combining the volume and content of our news reporting with Facebook’s audience targeting capabilities.

We are in the process of testing and refining the foregoing advertising model. As of today, we have completed 18 test campaigns, including for brands such as Intel and Coast Products, a manufacturer of portable LED lighting equipment. In these campaigns, the average rate at which viewers watched the pre-roll ad to completion was 94% and post-roll completion rate was 70%. In these campaigns, we were also able to achieve an average click-through rate of 2% on pre-roll and 5% on post-roll advertising.

We plan to continue testing our advertising model over approximately the next 6 months and then begin to market the model to advertisers. To accomplish this, we plan to use part of the proceeds from the offering to hire a small ad sales staff focusing on this effort. We expect to begin earning revenues from our advertising model in late 2016, although we cannot assure you when or if we will be able to do so.

As a branded ad campaign runs, NBS charges advertisers based on actual consumer views rather than on an “opportunity to view” as is used in impression-based advertising products. We monitor which news reports are getting the most distribution and engagement for the target audience, and we use this information to optimize ad spending by report.

NBS expects to initially develop a direct advertising business with a set of targeted advertisers. However, as our news report volume grows, we see an opportunity to automate the process by which brands can purchase advertising around our news reports. We expect this will occur when we achieve a scale of about 250 daily news reports, although we cannot guarantee at what point an automated process will make sense for brands and agencies. In this model, NBS would publish top-performing reports into a system that allows brands to review and buy, in real time, ads against reports for their targeted audiences. As part of its service offerings, SocialFlow has built a new distribution tool called Attention Stream, which lets advertisers sponsor news reports from news reporting services such as ourselves. We are in the process of working with SocialFlow to develop an NBS news report dashboard that will connect the performance of our news reports on Facebook with Facebook’s ad buying platform, to allow brands to automate which news reports to run advertising against. In this model, SocialFlow or NBS can bring advertising clients to the platform. In the event SocialFlow has sourced the advertiser, NBS will pay Social Flow three dollars per thousand ad impressions delivered to the advertiser.

Currently, NBS does not receive any revenue from Facebook for ads that the social network is running alongside NBS reports on its platform. Facebook announced in July 2015 that it intends to share ad revenue with publishers in a model similar to YouTube. NBS considers this sort or revenue “indirect” advertising revenue, and expects such revenue to begin materializing from Facebook later in 2016, although we cannot assure you when or if it will begin to do so.

We believe that once our news gathering and distribution hits a scale of about 250 news reports a day, there will be opportunities for redistribution of our news reports through syndication on other businesses’ websites. This form of distribution would go beyond YouTube or Facebook video embedding. Syndication partners would expand our distribution reach and create ad revenues generated by our news reports, in exchange for a monthly subscription fee. We believe that syndicating our news reports would help build awareness of our status as a news agency. Many mid-tier digital content sites on the Internet today are still developing the ability to produce high quality, low-cost video to support their operations. Our news reports could work as an excellent complement to an existing provider’s text and image-based offerings. In addition, syndicating our news reports would allow us to distribute our news reports in audio-only or text-only versions, as well as in our standard video version.

Based on preliminary discussions with five different potential syndication partners, syndication deals will likely involve a minimum monthly license fee paid to us by the syndicating party, and may include additional revenue sharing arrangements beyond the minimums. This deal model is similar to the licensing models offered by traditional newswire services such as Reuters, Bloomberg and the Associated Press, for the reprinting of their stories.

Although social media platforms such as Facebook offer excellent distribution of our news reports, some customers have requested through our social media accounts that we offer an NBS app experience that would allow them to receive NBS news reports only. We believe there is an opportunity to offer those customers a personalized news experience that is controlled by them through preferences and data, and would also allow them to consume our news in any of three formats – video, audio only or text only. As the amount of our news coverage grows, it will become increasingly important for us to offer such an experience to those consumers who want to get NBS news in an environment designed specifically for NBS news consumption. To meet this demand, we are developing a paid subscription version of our news reports. The product will allow users to personalize their news, search for reports of interest and select from one of three modes of consumption on their mobile phone: video, audio or text. Our subscribers will be able to tailor how they receive our news depending on their environment at the time, including based on their current activity (e.g., driving, commuting), bandwidth constraints and personal preferences. This is differentiated in the news industry, since news organizations tend to focus on a single medium for delivery (e.g., video, audio or text, but not a choice among these). This benefit comes without any additional cost to NBS, since all three of these media are already delivered as part of our workflow. The service would include a free trial period, after which users would be offered a choice of a monthly subscription fee or an ad-supported environment using pre-roll ads secured from advertisers. We would use our distribution channels on social media to expose potential subscribers to our offering. Rolling out such a new experience on a subscription basis would require investments in technology, marketing, customer service and billing.

News gathering is highly competitive. The competitive landscape is composed principally of two major segments: traditional news outlets and online (or digital only) news outlets such as our Company. Traditional news outlets leverage print, television and radio media as a means of engaging people, generally attempting to capture the attention of a broad audience. Historically, this has been a very successful business model and, without an online alternative, these outlets were able to control the attention of a majority of news consumers. The growth of online news outlets, however, has led to a significant decline in audience engagement with traditional media, as many consumers now turn to the Internet to discover news. Additionally, many online news outlets have the ability to provide consumers with targeted news focused on individual interests – an ability with which most traditional media cannot compete.

Our ability to compete against both traditional news outlets and other online news outlets will depend on various factors, including our ability to raise additional financing. This is particularly true because many of our existing and potential competitors have, or could have, substantially greater financial resources than we do, including in particular the traditional news outlets. Despite their relative advantages over traditional news publishers, individual online news outlets nevertheless face the challenge of becoming a destination of choice for news, while simultaneously struggling to grow and monetize the use of their products.

Traditional news companies include any company that delivers news in the form of television, print, radio or any combination of the three. Within the traditional news segment, television news providers include cable TV companies (CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc.), network TV companies (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.) and local TV stations. Print journalism publications that also have large digital followings including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, the Washington Post, the Daily Mail, the India Times and the Mirror.

Hundreds of online news companies have surfaced over the last few years, as consumers have begun spending more time discovering news online. Some of the major companies in this space include the Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, Vice Media, VOX Media, Business Insider, Brietbart, Bleacher Report, First Look Media, The Hill, Pando Daily, Distractify, Viral Nova, Vocativ, Politico, TechCrunch and Gizmodo. In addition, news aggregation services such as Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, Flipboard, Smart News, News360, Digg, WatchUp and Reddit are also competitive, in that they provide a broad range of news coverage from several outlets and attempt to personalize experiences for users based on the users’ profiles. Most such news sites are focused on text-based news reporting, but some have started to integrate video news stories as part of their reporting. Several, such as Vice and BuzzFeed, have a well-defined brand voice and perspective from which they cover news. News aggregation apps could be alternative sources of distribution of NBS news reports in the future.

While we compete with the universe of traditional news companies and online news outlets, there are three other recent start-ups that we view as distinct from the foregoing competitors and as more direct competitors of ours: NowThisNews, Newsy and AJ+.

NowThisNews began as a social media website in late 2012, but later transitioned into a news outlet that aggregates video news and distributes it in short-form clips. NowThisNews compiles video clips and pictures from a variety of sources and overlays text on the aggregated news clip. The company started on Facebook, but has since diversified its distribution to a variety of social media outlets, including Snapchat, Twitter, Vine and Instagram, and has even eliminated its own website to focus exclusively on social delivery. NowThisNews has no reporters in the field and no news anchors in the studio. NowThisNews has raised over $27 million to date from a variety of investors, including Oak Investment Partners, Axel Springer Digital Ventures, Lerer Hippeau Ventures, SoftBank Capital and NBCUniversal Media, LLC.

Newsy was founded in 2008 by an alumnus of the University of Missouri after raising $5 million from the university’s school of journalism. Today, Newsy is a multisource, multi-platform video news service that produces short-form video segments. Newsy leverages its website and social media outlets to distribute news. Newsy has also made a recent push towards developing applications for mobile operating systems, such as iOS, Windows and Android. Newsy aggregates and compares both sides of the opinion spectrum for any given news story, leaving it up to the viewer to assess the facts. Newsy has pursued licensing agreements with other online media sites such as CNBC, ESPN, the Huffington Post and the Boston Globe, as a monetization strategy. Newsy has green screen news anchors but no field reporters. In December 2013, Newsy was acquired by the E.W. Scripps Company.

AJ+, launched in 2014, is an online news and current events division of the Al Jazeera Media Network (AJMN), with a focus on short form video. AJ+ distributes digital video and media directly to social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram) and through apps on mobile devices (iOS and Android). AJ+ is separate from Al Jazeera’s other cable and satellite news channels, although it shares the network’s current 68 news bureaus with the other channels. The channel has no hosts or anchors, and live reporting plays a lesser role. Most content is available on demand in the format of animated explainers, satire, current events and short documentaries. AJ+ takes a left-leaning approach to coverage. The AJ+ Facebook page generated 2.2 billion Facebook video views in 2015. Financing for the division is not disclosed. It was announced in January 2016 that Al Jazeera America would shutter its cable TV and digital operations by April 30, 2016, but this is unrelated to Al Jazeera’s global digital operations, which is AJ+.

Much of the information and images we use for the development of our news reports are widely available on the Internet and in the public domain. For content that is not public, we follow a set of operating procedures to help ensure that all copyrighted material is used in compliance with the Fair Use doctrine as set forth in Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act. All of our news team members are involved in training sessions to help ensure compliance with Fair Use rules and regulations. Once a news report has been completed but before it is distributed, it is reviewed by the managing editor for, among other things, apparent Fair Use problems, and must be approved by the managing editor before release.

As part of our efforts to launch a consumer news smart phone application by late 2016 or early 2017, we acquired the intellectual property assets of AllSay, a news service that helped connect users to community news of interest based on their user profiles. Our acquisition included AllSay’s patent pending technology, which is based on an algorithm that matches user-provided profile elements such as location, interests and family status with a variety of news articles about community decisions, such as legislation and legal rulings. We have successfully migrated AllSay’s “recommendation engine” to our own systems, but we have not yet launched any resulting products or services commercially.

All the intellectual property assets of AllSay were acquired on November 17, 2015. The assets acquired included: (i) domain names; (ii) “Impact Based Content Targeting”, a patent pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Application Publication No: U.S.-2015-0242517-A1 granted August 27, 2015; (iii) the AllSay registered trademark; and (iv) source code developed by AllSay that includes consumer account creation and login features, a content management system for news and the algorithm for matching consumers to news based on their profiles and a series of other inputs.

As of December 31, 2015, we had 30 full-time employees and seven part-time employees.

Although we may from time to time and in the normal course of business be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations, we are currently not a party to any litigation or other proceeding that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

We rent our principal premises, consisting of approximately 6,000 square feet of office space and 4,000 square feet of production space in Portland, Oregon. The building is rented for approximately $8,500 per month and is currently on a 40 full-calendar month lease. The lease is set to expire on April 30, 2016 and transition to a month-to-month lease until September 2016, at which time NBS will either re-negotiate the lease agreement or move to a larger, more permanent property, better suited for NBS expansion plans. We believe that, if necessary, we could relocate from these premises without material harm to our operations.

Set forth below is information regarding our directors and executive officers as of March 1, 2016. Each director holds his office until he resigns or is removed and his successor is elected and qualified.

There are no family relationships between any director, executive officer or significant employee of the Company.

Stanley W. Fields is the founder, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. Prior to founding the Company, in 2010, Mr. Fields launched a pilot video news service called Net Green News. Mr. Fields is a career entrepreneur with 30 years of experience.

Outside of his business endeavors, Mr. Fields has also been involved with major philanthropic activities including serving a four year term on the Corporate Board of the Environmental Media Association. Mr. Fields is a fourth-generation Oregonian and resides with his family in Lake Oswego, Oregon. We believe that as a founder of the Company with substantial entrepreneurial and news video experience, Mr. Fields has the requisite qualifications, skills, perspectives, and experience that make him well qualified to serve on our Board of Directors.

Geoffrey Campbell has been our President since July 2015. Mr. Campbell has more than 18 years of experience in the digital media industry Prior to becoming President of the Company, in April 2014, Mr. Campbell founded and served as President and Chief Executive Officer of AllSay, Inc., a personalized news app company, the intellectual property of which was acquired by the Company in June 2015.

Myron Landin has been our Chief Financial Officer since November 2015. Prior to becoming Chief Financial Officer, since 2011, Mr. Landin has provided financial consulting services, including accounting support, financial statement preparation, SEC advisory and Sarbanes Oxley consulting services, to publicly traded companies through JTL Enterprises Corp., a firm that Mr. Landin founded in 2003 and is a principal of. From 2010 through 2012, Mr. Landin acted as the interim chief financial officer of Ruby Creek Resources, Inc. Prior to 2010, Mr. Landin was engaged to provide chief financial officer services in a $115 million public SPAC transaction for the successful acquisition of an oil and gas exploration company, including all pre- and post-acquisition activities (from 2006-2008). Mr. Landin has held senior executive and board of director level positions with an entrepreneurial public company in the telecommunications industry and the subsequent spinoff of a subsidiary where he served as chairman of the board of directors and chief financial officer (1992-1999). This entity was eventually merged into a NYSE listed company in a national consolidation with revenues exceeding $1 billion. Mr. Landin served as senior assurance manager with a “Big Four” accounting firm (now Deloitte) (1972-1981) and as an audit partner (1981-1984) of a regional and internationally affiliated PCAOB registered accounting firm. Mr. Landin holds a B.A. in Economics from Stony Brook University and attended Pace University Graduate School of Business. He is a Certified Public Accountant previously licensed in New York.

Colt Melby has been a member of our board of directors since December 2015. Mr. Melby served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation, a publicly held manufacturer of firearms, from September 2002 to December 2003.

Mr. Melby previously served as chairman of the board at CUI Global, Inc. and as vice chairman of the board of Quest Resource Holding Corp. and of one of its predecessors, Earth911, Inc. We believe Mr. Melby’s executive experience with a major public company, and his financial, investment, and management experience provide the requisite qualifications, skills, perspectives, and experience that make him well qualified to serve on our Board of Directors.

Kurt Thomet has been a member of our board of directors since July 2013. Mr. Thomet was the President and founder of Quest Solution (OTC: QUES), a mobile integration company, from July 1994 through June 2015 setting strategic direction of the company and directing the operations team. Mr. Thomet also has been the President of Hawaii Tours Wholesale, a tourism company, from July 2005 to January 2013. Mr. Thomet began his career opening the first computer store in Eugene, Oregon in 1981. We believe Mr. Thomet’s executive experience and his association as a founding director of the Company make him well qualified to serve on our Board of Directors.

Our board of directors currently consists of three members and is authorized to have up to five members. Each director of the Company serves until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and duly qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Our board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and such other offices as may be determined by the board.

We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. In selecting board candidates, we seek individuals who will further the interests of our stockholders through an established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to our collaborative culture, knowledge of our business and understanding of our prospective markets.

Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ Listing Rules requires a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the NASDAQ Listing Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Our board of directors has reviewed the composition of its committees, to be in effect immediately after the closing of this offering, and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning that director’s background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our board has determined that each of Messrs. Melby and Thomet are an “independent director” as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. Our board has also determined that Messrs. Melby and Thomet satisfy the independence standards for such committees established by SEC and NASDAQ rules. In making such determinations, our board considered the relationships that each such person has with our Company and all the other facts and circumstances our board deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each such person. We intend to add additional independent directors in order to meet listing requirements of a national securities exchange, in accordance with the phase-in provisions of NASDAQ Rule 5615(b).

Immediately after the closing of this offering, our board will establish three standing committees — audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance — each of which will operate under a charter that has been approved by our board. We intend to appoint persons to the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors as required meeting the corporate governance requirements of a national securities exchange, in accordance with the phase-in provisions of NASDAQ Rule 5615(b). We intend to appoint directors in the future so that we have a majority of our directors who will be independent directors.

Immediately after the closing of this offering, we will appoint three members of our Board of Directors to the audit committee, one of whom will qualify as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and the NASDAQ Listing Rules. In making a determination on which member will qualify as a financial expert, our board expects to consider the formal education and nature and scope of such members’ previous experience. As described above, we expect to rely on the phase-in provisions of NASDAQ Rule 5615(b) such that at least one member of the audit committee will be independent upon listing, at least two members of the audit committee will be independent within 90 days after listing and the entire audit committee will be independent within one year following listing.

Our audit committee will assist our board of directors in its oversight of our accounting and financial reporting process and the audits of our consolidated financial statements. Our audit committee’s responsibilities will include:

Immediately after the closing of this offering, we will appoint at least two members of our Board of Directors to the compensation committee. Our compensation committee will assist our board of directors in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers. The compensation committee’s responsibilities will include:

Immediately after the closing of this offering, we will appoint at least two members of our Board of Directors to the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee’s responsibilities will include:

Our board of directors has combined the role of Chairman of the Board with the role of Chief Executive Officer. We believe this provides an efficient and effective leadership model for our Company. Combining the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles fosters clear accountability, effective decision making, and alignment on corporate strategy.

The board of directors oversees our business and considers the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The board currently implements its risk oversight function as a whole. Each of the board committees also provides risk oversight in respect of its areas of concentration and reports material risks to the board for further consideration.

We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We will post on our website a current copy of the code and all disclosures that are required by law or NASDAQ rules in regard to any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.

The following table summarizes outstanding unexercised options, unvested stocks and equity incentive plan awards held by each of our named executive officers, as of December 31, 2015:

The Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Stock Option Plan on March 29, 2013 (the “Option Plan”). The initial maximum aggregate number of common shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to the Option Plan was 10,000,000, which was increased to 20,000,000 on June 20, 2015. The purpose of the Option Plan is to offer certain employees and consultants of the Company or any affiliate the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company by the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock. Stock options granted under the Option Plan may be Incentive Options or Non-Qualified Options, as determined by the Board at the time of grant of an option. Only employees can receive Incentive Options. The Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee appointed thereby. The vesting term is determined at the time of the individual grant.

The Option Plan has a term of ten years unless sooner terminated, amended or suspended by the Board, but no action by the Board shall be made which would materially impair the rights of any optionee under any grant previously made without his or her consent. The term of each option is the term stated in the option agreement; provided, however, that the term may not be more than ten years from the date of grant. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee who, at the time the option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any affiliate, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Options granted under the plan may be immediately exercisable, or may be exercisable in installments, as determined at the time of grant.

The Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Warrant Plan (the “Warrant Plan”) on March 29, 2013 to offer certain consultants, investors and business partners of the Company or any affiliate the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company by the issue of warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Warrants issued under the Warrant Plan may be immediately exercisable, or may be exercisable in installments, as determined by the Board at the time of issue. The Warrant Plan has a term of ten years. Warrants issued under the Plan have a maximum term of ten years from the date of issuance. The initial maximum aggregate number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan was 3,000,000. The per share exercise price upon exercise of a warrant is determined by the Board, but may not be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of issuance as determined by the Board. The vesting terms of a warrant, if any, are determined by the Board.

The purchase price upon exercise of a warrant may consist entirely of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) other shares, subject under certain circumstances to a holding period, and having a fair market value on the date of purchase equal to the aggregate exercise price, (iv) a promissory note in form and substance acceptable to the Board, with such obligation secured by such collateral as the Board may determine, all in the sole discretion of the Board, or (v) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. Warrants may only be exercised while the business relationship between the Company and the grantee continues and for thirty days thereafter, or for twelve months in the case of disability of the grantee. The Company may offer to buy outstanding warrants. Warrants are not transferable and unexercised warrants are returned to the Warrant Plan. Corporate misconduct by the grantee immediately voids the warrant. The warrants have anti-dilution provisions in the event of a change in capitalization. Upon notice of a corporate liquidation, unvested warrants become vested, and any outstanding buyout offers cease. The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board, but such action may not affect outstanding warrants unless specifically provided for in the individual grant. The Warrant Plan required and received approval by the Company’s stockholders.

The following table provides a summary of the securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2015.

The following table summarizes the compensation of our directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Effective June 2, 2014, the Company issued to Kurt Thomet, a director, for cash received, an unsecured $600,000 convertible note, bearing interest at 7% per annum, due November 2, 2015. On November 19, 2015, the Company and Mr. Thomet agreed that the principal plus all accrued interest on the note would be paid in the form of 1,319,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

From December 2014 through January 2015, the Company issued to Mr. Thomet, for cash received, an aggregate of $100,000 in principal amount 15% secured convertible promissory notes. These notes mature on December 31, 2016. For more information regarding these notes, see “Description of Securities – 15% Convertible Secured Promissory Notes”.

In 2015, the Company acquired all of the intellectual property assets of AllSay by issuing an aggregate of 2,287,498 shares of the Company’s common stock. Geoffrey Campbell, the President of the Company, is AllSay’s chief executive officer and controlling shareholder. For more information regarding the intellectual property assets received by the Company, see “Business – Intellectual Property”.

On August 25, 2015, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with JTL Enterprises Corp. (“JTL”) pursuant to which JTL provided financial and accounting consulting services to the Company. In consideration for its services, JTL received $60,304 and Myron Landin, our Chief Financial Officer, received 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Mr. Landin is the principal and founder of JTL Enterprises Corp. For more information regarding the Series A Preferred Stock, see “Description of Securities – Series A Preferred Stock”.

To the best of our knowledge, during the past three fiscal years, other than as set forth above, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we were or are to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any director or executive officer, or any security holder who is known by us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our Common Stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, has an interest (other than compensation to our officers and directors in the ordinary course of business).

Our board of directors recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests and/or improper valuation (or the perception thereof). Prior to the listing of our shares on NASDAQ, our board of directors will adopt a written policy on transactions with related persons in conformity with the requirements for issuers having publicly held common stock listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Under the policy any related-person transaction, and any material amendment or modification of a related-person transaction, will be required to be reviewed and approved or ratified by a committee of the board of directors composed solely of independent directors who are disinterested, or by the disinterested members of the board of directors and any employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation will be required to be recommended by the Compensation Committee to the board of directors for its approval.

In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related-person transaction:

In addition, the related-person transaction policy will provide that the audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors, as applicable, must consider whether any approval or ratification of a related-person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee would compromise the director or director nominee’s status as an “independent”, “outside”, or “non-employee” director, as applicable, under the rules and regulations of the SEC, the NASDAQ Capital Market and the Internal Revenue Code.

The following table sets forth the total number and percentage of our shares of Common Stock that will be beneficially owned on January 31, 2016 by: (1) each holder of more than 5% of our Common Stock; (2) each director; (3) each executive officer; and (4) all executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock that such person or any member of such group has the right to acquire within 60 days of January 31, 2016. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock held by each person or group of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days January 31, 2016 are deemed to be outstanding for such person, but not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by any person.

Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each person listed is c/o NewsBeat Social, Inc., 3123 NW Industrial Street, Portland, Oregon 97210.

The following summary of the terms of our securities does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Bylaws. For more detailed information, please see our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the Offering Statement.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for one class of common stock, consisting of 250,000,000 shares; par value $0.0001 per share. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock; par value $0.0001 per share.

As of February 29, 2016, we had 71,652,498 shares of common stock outstanding held by 117 stockholders of record. As of February 29, 2016, we had an aggregate of 34,810,889 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of all stock options authorized by our 2012 Stock Option Plan, exercise of all warrants outstanding, conversion into Common Stock of all Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, and the conversion of convertible promissory notes outstanding.

The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they so choose, other than any directors that holders of any preferred stock we may issue may be entitled to elect.

Subject to limitations under Delaware law and preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of or provision for all of our debts and other liabilities, subject to the prior rights of any preferred stock then outstanding.

Holders of common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking funds provisions applicable to the common stock.

All outstanding shares of common stock are, and the common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We currently have designated 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing all of our authorized shares of preferred stock meaning that we cannot currently designate a new series of preferred stock without amending our Certificate of Incorporation.

At such time as we have authorized but undesignated shares of preferred stock, in order to designate a new series of preferred stock, our board of directors is required by the DGCL to adopt resolutions and file a Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, fixing for such series, subject to the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of such series, including:

Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction which holders of some, or a majority, of such shares might believe to be in their best interests or in which holders of some, or a majority, of such shares might receive a premium for their shares over the then-market price of such shares.

Unless otherwise specified, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the preferred stock will rank:

Our Series A Preferred Stock was issued at a price per share of $0.50 (the “Issue Price”), the rights, preferences and privileges of which are as described below.

The holders of each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of common stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted (with any fractional share determined on an aggregate conversion basis being rounded to the nearest whole share). Such holders shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting just as are holders of common stock, and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of common stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of common stock have the right to vote. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock and common stock shall vote as a single class except as required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to non-cumulative dividends, if, as and when declared by the board of directors, in preference to and ahead of dividends paid on common stock. No dividends or distributions may be declared and paid on common stock (other than those payable pro rata and solely to common stock) unless at the same time the holders of Series A Preferred Stock receive a per-share dividend or distribution (including the amount of any dividends paid pursuant to the previous sentence) equal to or greater than the per-share dividend or distribution paid on the common stock (based on the number of shares of common stock into which each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted).

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of our common stock, an amount per share equal to the Issuer Price. If funds are insufficient to pay all holders of such stock the full Issue Price, all available funds shall be paid ratably amount the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, so that each holder of Series A Preferred Stock receives the same percentage of the Issue Price with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock. After payment is made to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of common stock in proportion to the shares of common stock then held.

If the total proceeds available to pay holders of Series A Preferred Stock and common stock together on liquidation is such that the amount distributable with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock is less than it would be with respect to the common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert to common stock, and all assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of common stock in proportion to the shares of common stock (including the common stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) then held.

In the case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another company (other than a mere reincorporation transaction) or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of common stock deliverable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the board of directors in good faith) shall be made in the application of the provisions herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions herein (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the applicable Conversion Prices (defined below) of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Upon conversion, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Issue Price by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. “Conversion Price” shall be the initial per share conversion price as described in the following sentence, but subject to adjustment as set forth below. The initial Conversion Price per share for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $0.50 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock shall convert on the occurrence of these events:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event we do not raise more than $25,000,000 in gross proceeds in this offering then, consistent with the purpose of the Series A Preferred Stock offering, which was to provide us with interim financing until we were able to consummate a substantial financing transaction, we intend to distribute an aggregate of up to $5,000,000to our Series A Preferred Stock holders at such time and in such manner as, in the judgment of our Board of Directors, can be accommodated by our cash flows while not interfering with our ability to implement our business plan, and to convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock into one share of Common Stock.

So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock:

We have issued $700,000 in principal amount of our 15% secured convertible promissory notes. These notes accrue interest at 15% per annum and mature on December 31, 2016. The notes are convertible at any time prior to the maturity date at a conversion price equal to eighty cents ($0.80) per share. In the event that the Company receives net proceeds of greater than $3,000,000 in an equity financing, other than in an equity financing relating to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, the notes may be converted into shares of Common Stock (or such other type of equity security sold in the financing), at a conversion price equal to the lesser of: a) 80% of the price paid per share by other purchasers in the equity financing and b) eighty cents ($0.80) per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company completes an equity financing in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $25,000,000, then, within 10 business days after the closing of such financing, the notes, plus accrued interest as of the closing date of the financing, will be repaid by the Company and the holders of the notes will be issued a number of shares of restricted Common Stock determined by dividing the sum of the principal of the note plus accrued interest as of the closing date by $0.50.

Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation, Our Bylaws and Delaware Law

Some provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions which provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

The ability of our board of directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences as designated by our board of directors could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.

Our Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the President or by the board of directors.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals to be brought before a stockholder meeting and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors.

Our Bylaws provides that no member of our board of directors may be removed from office by our stockholders except for cause and, in addition to any other vote required by law, upon the approval of not less than a majority of the total voting power of all of our outstanding voting stock then entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Our Certificate of Incorporation does not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they choose, other than any directors that holders of our preferred stock may be entitled to elect.

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors.

The amendment of any of the above provisions would require approval by holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of all of our outstanding voting stock.

The provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition of our board and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Since our inception, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock, and we currently expect that, for the foreseeable future, all earnings (if any) will be retained for the development of our business and no dividends will be declared or paid. In the future, our Board of Directors may decide, at their discretion, whether dividends may be declared and paid, taking into consideration, among other things, our earnings (if any), operating results, financial condition and capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts.

Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our Common Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or securities or instruments convertible into our Common Stock, in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because there will be limits on the number of shares available for resale shortly after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions described below, there may be resales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market after those restrictions lapse. This could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing at that time.

Upon completion of this offering, assuming the maximum amount of shares of Common Stock offered in this offering are sold, there will be ___________ shares of our Common Stock outstanding. This number excludes any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock that could occur in connection with:

These ___________ shares of our Common Stock will be freely tradable in the public market, except to the extent they are acquired by an “affiliate” of ours, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. Under Rule 405, an affiliate of a specified person is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the specified person. Any affiliate of ours that acquires our shares can only further transact in such shares in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which imposes sales volume limitations and other restrictions on such further transactions. See “— Rule 144”, below.

In addition to the foregoing, we expect that an additional ___________ shares of our Common Stock will be issued upon the conversion, to occur in conjunction with the closing of this offering, of the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to shares of our Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis. See “Description of Securities – Series A Preferred Stock”. We expect that these additional shares of Common Stock will not be freely tradable for approximately six months following the closing of this offering, because (1) we expect that each of the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will have signed a lock-up agreement of the type described under “—Lock-Up Agreements”, below, and that consequently the trading of any shares of Common Stock they received in the conversion of their Series A Preferred Stock will be restricted for 180 days after the date of the Offering Circular; and (2) the shares of Common Stock they received in the conversion of their Series A Preferred Stock may be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and if so would remain so until six months after the acquisition of the Common Stock (if at that time we will have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days). If at that time we are still a reporting company under Regulation A, or for any other reason have not been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, then the period of approximately six months referred to in the preceding sentence, during which the shares of Common Stock will not be freely tradable, would continue until twelve months after the acquisition of the Common Stock. See “—Rule `144”, below.

In addition, if any of the shares resold pursuant to the provisions relating to the resale offering circular, as discussed above, are acquired by an “affiliate” of ours, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, such affiliate could only further transact in such shares in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which imposes sales volume limitations and other restrictions on transactions by affiliates. See “— Rule 144”, below.

In addition to shares of our Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, and other shares of our Common Stock not sold in this offering will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144, and would tradable only if they are sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, including under Rule 144. See “— Rule 144”, below.

In addition, as a result of the lock-up agreements being entered into in connection with this offering, and described below under “—Lock-Up Agreements”, approximately ___________ shares of our Common Stock will be subject to the contractual lock-up provisions set forth in the lock-up agreements.

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least twelve months, in the event we are a reporting company under Regulation A, or at least six months, in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

In general, Rule 701 allows a stockholder who purchased shares of our capital stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell those shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this Offering Circular before selling shares pursuant to Rule 701.

We and our officers, directors, and current stockholders have agreed, or will agree, with the Underwriter, subject to certain exceptions, that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, we and they will not, directly or indirectly, during the period ending 180 days after the date of the Offering Circular:

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the ownership and disposition of our common stock. This discussion is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date of this Offering Circular. These authorities may change, perhaps retroactively, which could result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below. This discussion only applies to persons who hold the common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation (such as the alternative minimum tax) and does not describe any foreign, state, local or other tax considerations that may be relevant to a purchaser or holder of common stock in light of their particular circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to a purchaser or holder of common stock who is subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws (including, a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, a pass-through entity or an investor in a pass-through entity, a tax-exempt entity, a pension or other employee benefit plan, a financial institution or broker-dealer, a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust, a foreign government or international organization, a U.S. Holder (as defined below) whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar, a person holding common stock as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or straddle, a person subject to the alternative minimum tax, an insurance company, a former U.S. citizen, or a former long-term U.S. resident). We cannot assure you that a change in law will not significantly alter the tax considerations that we describe in this discussion. The conclusions in this discussion are based on professional judgment and are not a guarantee of a result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the conclusions set forth herein will be sustained if challenged by the Internal Revenue Service.

If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner of that partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner of a partnership holding our common stock, you should consult your tax advisor as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of our common stock.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF OUR COMMON STOCK, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER OTHER FEDERAL TAX LAW AND THE LAWS OF APPLICABLE STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTIONS. YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING ANY POSSIBLE ENACTMENT OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD AFFECT YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

You are a “U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of common stock and you are for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

Distributions in General. If taxable distributions are made with respect to our common stock, such distributions will be treated as dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under the Code. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits will first be applied to reduce a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the common stock on a share-by-share basis, and the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of the common stock, the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “—U.S. Holders: Sale or Other Disposition”.

Dividends received by individual U.S. Holders of common stock will be subject to a preferential rate if such dividends are treated as “qualified dividend income” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The rate reduction does not apply to dividends received to the extent that the individual U.S. Holder elects to treat the dividends as “investment income”, which may be offset against investment expenses. Furthermore, the rate reduction does not apply to dividends that are paid to individual U.S. Holders with respect to common stock that is held for 60 days or less during the 121-day period beginning on the date which is 60 days before the date on which the common stock becomes ex-dividend. Also, if a dividend received by an individual U.S. Holder that qualifies for the rate reduction is an “extraordinary dividend” within the meaning of Section 1059 of the Code, any loss recognized by such individual U.S. Holder on a subsequent disposition of the stock will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of such “extraordinary dividend”, irrespective of such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the stock.

Dividends received by corporations generally will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. This deduction is allowed if the underlying stock is held for at least 45 days during the 91 day period beginning on the date 45 days before the ex-dividend date of the stock. If a corporate stockholder receives a dividend on the common stock that is an “extraordinary dividend” within the meaning of Section 1059 of the Code, the corporate stockholder in certain instances must reduce its basis in the common stock by the amount of the “nontaxed portion” of such “extraordinary dividend” that results from the application of the dividends-received deduction. If the “nontaxed portion” of such “extraordinary dividend” exceeds such corporate stockholder’s basis, any excess will be taxed as gain as if such stockholder had disposed of its shares in the year the “extraordinary dividend” is paid. Each corporate U.S Holder of common stock is urged to consult with its tax advisor with respect to the eligibility for and amount of any dividends received deduction and the application of Section 1059 of the Code to any dividends it receives.

Sale or Other Disposition. A U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on a sale or exchange of our common stock equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale or exchange (not including any proceeds attributable to declared and unpaid dividends, which will be taxable to U.S. Holders of record as described above under “—U.S. Holders: Distributions in General”) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock sold or exchanged. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common stock sold or exchanged is more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are taxed at a preferential rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Medicare Contribution Tax. U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on unearned income, including, among other things, dividends on, and capital gains from the sale or other taxable disposition of, our common stock, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of such tax on their ownership and disposition of our common stock.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information reporting and backup withholding may apply with respect to payments of dividends on the common stock and to certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of common stock. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) on payments of dividends on the common stock and certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of the common stock unless the beneficial owner thereof furnishes the payor or its agent with a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, and certain other information, or otherwise establishes, in the manner prescribed by law, an exemption from backup withholding.

U.S. backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, which may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided the U.S. Holder timely furnishes the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.

You are a “Non-U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of common stock and you are not (i) a “U.S. Holder” or (ii) a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

Distributions on the Common Stock. If cash or certain other taxable distributions are made with respect to our common stock, such distributions will be treated as dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under the Code and may be subject to withholding as discussed below. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits will first be applied to reduce the Non-U.S. Holder’s basis in the common stock and, to the extent such portion exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s basis, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of the common stock, the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “—Non-U.S. Holders: Sale or Other Disposition”. In addition, although we believe we are not currently a U.S. real property holding corporation, i.e. a “USRPHC”, if we were to meet the definition of a USRPHC and any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, we will need to choose to satisfy our withholding requirements either by treating the entire distribution as a dividend, subject to the withholding rules in the following paragraph (and withhold at a minimum rate of 10% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty for distributions from a USRPHC), or by treating only the amount of the distribution equal to our reasonable estimate of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as a dividend, subject to the withholding rules in the following paragraph, with the excess portion of the distribution subject to withholding at a rate of 10% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty as if such excess were the result of a sale of shares in a USRPHC (discussed below under “—Non-U.S. Holders: Sale or Other Disposition”), with a credit generally allowed against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability in an amount equal to the amount withheld from such excess.

Dividends or any other taxable distribution (whether in cash, common stock or other property) paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by statute or an applicable income tax treaty. Any required withholding tax may be satisfied by the withholding agent through a sale of a portion of the shares received by a Non-U.S. Holder in a taxable distribution or may be withheld from cash dividends or sales proceeds subsequently paid or credited to a Non-U.S. Holder. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, where a tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) are not subject to the withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied including completing Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form or other applicable form). Instead, such dividends are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a United States person as defined under the Code, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required to (a) complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form or other applicable form) and certify under penalties of perjury that such Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits, or (b) if our common stock are held through certain foreign intermediaries, complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required attachments (or any successor form or other applicable form) and satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable Treasury regulations.

A Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service.

Sale or Other Disposition. Any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the disposition of our common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax unless:

A Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will generally be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a United States person as defined under the Code, and if the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, may also be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. An individual Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax (or at such reduced rate as may be provided by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States. A Non-U.S. Holder described in the third bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates with respect to the gain recognized in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a United States person as defined under the Code.

If a Non-U.S. Holder is subject to U.S. federal income tax on any sale, exchange or other disposition of the common stock, such Non-U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Non-U.S. Holder and the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock, as applicable. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common stock, as applicable, is longer than one year. A Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisors with respect to applicable tax rates and netting rules for capital gains and losses. Certain limitations exist on the deduction of capital losses by both corporate and non-corporate taxpayers.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. We must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to such Non-U.S. Holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to backup withholding on dividends paid to such Non-U.S. Holder as long as such Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Depending on the circumstances, information reporting and backup withholding may apply to the proceeds received from a sale or other disposition of our common stock unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalties of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

U.S. backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

FATCA. The U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) will generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividends on the common stock (and, beginning January 1, 2017, on the gross proceeds of a disposition of common stock) that are paid to: (i) a foreign financial institution (as that term is defined in Section 1471(d)(4) of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder) unless that foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department to collect and disclose information regarding U.S. account holders of that foreign financial institution (including certain account holders that are foreign entities that have U.S. owners) and satisfies other requirements, or is otherwise exempt from FATCA withholding; and (ii) a “non-financial foreign entity” (as that term is defined in Section 1472(d) of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder) unless such entity certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each substantial U.S. owner and such entity satisfies other specified requirements, or otherwise is exempt from FATCA withholding. Intergovernmental agreements entered into between the United States and a foreign jurisdiction may modify these requirements. A Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of this legislation to it. FATCA withholding will apply to dividends paid on shares of our common stock, and commencing January 1, 2017, to gross proceeds from the disposition of our common stock.

Certain legal matters with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed upon by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, New York, New York. Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP is representing the underwriter in this offering.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NewsBeat Social, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NewsBeat Social, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in Note B, the Company has incurred net losses since inception and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note B. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NewsBeat Social, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Oregon on April 17, 2012 and was re-incorporated in Delaware on April 24, 2015. The Company provides 60-second online video news clips, capable of supporting paid-for advertising, syndication and subscription services, over social media platforms. The Company believes its approach to news gathering and distribution offers a disruptive alternative to the global news industry, including through its ability to deliver news globally at a low unit cost and in a device-agnostic manner. The Company’s objective is to deliver high-quality news that effectively targets relevant consumers.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had working capital deficit and a stockholders' deficit of $31,996 and $619,120, respectively. The Company has generated minimal revenues and has incurred net losses since inception, including a net loss of $10,895,263 for the year ended December 31, 2014. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company will need to raise additional capital in order to meet its obligations and execute its business plan for at least the next twelve-month period. There is no assurance that additional equity or debt financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to the Company or that the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow in the future. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to extend payables, reduce overhead or scale back its business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. See Note K.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

Management believes that the accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial information for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, that all material matters necessary for a fair presentation are included and disclosed to the extent necessary, and that all material adjustments have been made.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Advanced Media Labs, LLC, a wholly owned entity without significant operations. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of the Company's common stock, stock-based compensation, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company's deferred tax assets.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. At times during the year, the Company may have cash deposits with one or more banks that exceed the insured limits provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company. The Company's cash deposits are maintained with highly credit-rated institutions and the Company has not experienced any losses from uninsured cash balances and does not expect to do so in the future.

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation which is recorded commencing at the in-service date at rates sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. The Company has not identified any impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, management evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizeability of its deferred tax assets and determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. As a result, a full valuation allowance was recorded. See Note I.

GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company does not expect any significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.

The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. State franchise taxes not constituting a tax on income are reported in general and administrative expenses.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding, plus the impact of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, plus the conversion of convertible notes. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15,"Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15, which is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on how to perform a going-concern assessment and when going-concern disclosures would be required under GAAP. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results from operations. Management's evaluations regarding the events and conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern are disclosed in Note B.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 eliminates the requirement to separate deferred tax assets and liabilities into a current and non-current amount and provides that all deferred tax balances be classified as non-current. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2015-17 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results from operations.

The Company has implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statement and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring through the date on which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued require adjustment or disclosure in the Company's financial statements. See Note K.

Property and equipment at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the estimated useful lives used to calculate depreciation, are as follows:

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $44,936 and $35,442, respectively.

Effective June 2, 2014, the Company issued to a related party and eventual director (the “Founding Director”), for cash received, an unsecured $600,000 convertible note, bearing interest at 7% per annum, due November 2, 2015 or earlier upon the completion of a liquidation event (the “7% Convertible Promissory Note”). Such amount outstanding has been included in Convertible Notes Payable – Related Party on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.

A liquidation event is defined as (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another entity, (ii) a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (iii) the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions, other than in connection with a financing, in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company was transferred within a three-month period.

The 7% Convertible Promissory Note is convertible contingent upon the completion of a liquidation event by the Company. Upon the occurrence of a liquidation event, and with notice given by the Company to the holder at least five business days before the closing of such event, the outstanding principal and interest under the note converts automatically into shares of the Company’s common stock issuable at $0.60 per share without any further action by the Company. If the Company were not to complete a liquidation event by November 2, 2015, then all outstanding principal plus 7% accrued interest would come due and payable. The conversion price of the 7% Convertible Promissory Note of $0.60 per share exceeded the estimated stock price of the Company at the time of issuance and as such, a beneficial conversion feature did not exist.

Interest expense incurred by the Company on the 7% Convertible Promissory Note was $24,279 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Such amount is included in accrued interest on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to November 2, 2015, the 7% Convertible Promissory Note was exchanged for other securities. See Note K-2.

In December of 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of $200,000 in convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 15%, due one year after issuance (the “15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes”). These notes bear interest at 15% per annum and are secured by all the assets of the Company. The holders have since agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2016.

Of the aggregate amount of proceeds received in connection with the issuance of the 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, $100,000 was received from the Founding Director identified in item E-1 above, and has been included in Convertible Notes Payable – Related Party on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. This Founding Director has also personally guaranteed the aggregate 15% Convertible Promissory Notes on behalf of the Company in both 2014 and 2015, as further discussed in Note F.

Prepayments of all or any portion of the notes are permitted at any time by the Company without premium or penalty. The notes may be assigned by holders, but only upon the prior written consent of the Company. At any time prior to the maturity date, the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted at the sole discretion of the note holder into common stock (or other equity securities) of the Company as may be sold in an equity financing, on the same terms and conditions as the other purchasers of such securities, at a price equal to the lesser of: a) 80% of the price paid by other purchasers in the financing of at least $3,000,000, or b) $0.80 per share. The Company has determined that since the instrument does not permit the holder the ability to net-cash settle as a result of the lack of an active trading market for its common stock, the conversion feature embedded within the 15% Convertible Promissory Notes should not be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. The beneficial conversion feature will be accounted for, if necessary, at the time that an active trading market develops for the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the issuance of the 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 133,333 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share and exercisable for five years. The aggregate fair value of these warrants of $60,695 was accounted for as a debt discount and is included in Convertible Notes Payable-net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. The aggregate debt discount will be amortized over the life of the 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company amortized $498 of debt discount, which was included in interest expense on the accompanying statement of operations.

Contractual interest expense on the 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes was $576 the year ended December 31, 2014. The effective interest rate was approximately 15% for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Oregon on April 17, 2012, with 250,000,000 common shares authorized. The Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware, and pursuant to that Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation dated April 24, 2015, the Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Restated Certificate”) and 10,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, all of which were designated as Series A Preferred Stock in the Restated Certificate.

Holders of the Company’s common stock have voting rights equal to one vote for each share of common stock held and will participate in dividends as declared by the Board, subject to preferences of preferred stockholders. Similarly, common stockholders share ratably in all distributions upon liquidation of the Company subject to the preferences of preferred stockholders.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed the following issuances of its common stock:

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company completed the following issuances of its common stock:

During the year ended December 31, 2014, 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued as compensation for professional services rendered were cancelled as the services were not provided.

The following table represents the Company’s stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

The aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $382,311 and $414,826, respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual term of options outstanding at December 31, 2014 was 1.8 years. The weighted average remaining contractual term of options exercisable at December 31, 2014 was 1.84 years.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation related to stock options totaled $269,640 and $71,980, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, total unrecognized stock option compensation expense is $413,283 which will be recognized as those options vest over a weighted average period of approximately 1.3 years. The amount of future stock option compensation expense could be affected by any future option grants or by any option holders leaving the Company before their grants are fully vested.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Volatility is based on average historical volatilities for public companies in similar industries over the expected term of the options. The expected term of employee options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding using the "plain vanilla" method. For non-employee options, the contractual term is used. The risk-free rate is for periods within the contractual life of the options and is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The Black-Scholes assumptions with respect to the valuation of stock options granted are as follows:

The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board, but such action may not affect outstanding warrants unless specifically provided for in the individual grant. The Warrant Plan required and received approval by the Company’s stockholders.

The following table presents the Company’s common stock warrant activity for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company granted 700,000 warrants to members of its Board of Advisors for services performed. The warrants were fully vested on the grant date and had a grant date fair value of $70,730.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted 1,025,000 warrants to members of its Board of Advisors for past services performed. The warrants were fully vested on the grant date and had a grant date fair value of $171,520.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2014 was 2.71 years.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation related to warrant grants of $195,306 and $70,730, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The fair value of each warrant grant is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Volatility is based on average historical volatilities for public companies in similar industries over the expected term of the options. The contractual term is used for the life of each warrant. The risk-free rate is for periods within the contractual life of the warrants and is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The Black-Scholes assumptions with respect to the valuation of warrants granted are as follows:

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets are as follows:

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

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $4,117,324 and $612,513, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, and an Oregon Corporation Excise tax return. All income tax returns filed by the Company since inception in 2012 are subject to examination by the applicable taxing authorities.

The Company has available at December 31, 2014 and 2013, aggregate net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,200,000 and $1,353,000, respectively. Such losses may be applied against future taxable income and expire in the period 2032 through 2034.

The net operating loss carryovers may be subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, and similar state provisions, should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under the applicable income tax regulations. The amount of the limitation would be determined based on the value of the company immediately prior to the ownership change and subsequent ownership changes could further impact the amount of the annual limitation. An ownership change pursuant to Section 382 may have occurred in the past or could happen in the future, such that the NOLs available for utilization could be significantly limited. The Company will perform a Section 382 analysis in the future.

In the normal course of business the Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business.

In June 2012, the Company entered into a Registration and Share Purchase Agreement with a business development company (“BDC”) whereby the BDC was obligated to assist the Company with the completion and filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The BDC was to receive 2,000,000 shares of the Company in consideration for the services to be provided, which included the cost of all the legal, accounting and other costs associated with such process. The Company believes that the BDC failed to fulfill its obligations under the agreement, despite numerous efforts by the Company to obtain their performance. On April 17, 2015, the Company notified the BDC that as a result of its failure of performance, it had no entitlement to any shares and no stock certificates were issued. The BDC has not served the Company with a formal complaint or suit, however the Company believes that any such action taken by the BDC would be without merit, and the Company would contest any claims vigorously. The Company does not believe an accrual for a loss associated with this matter is necessary at this time.

On April 24, 2012, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement with Cymbeline Holdings, LLC (“Cymbeline”), an entity beneficially owned by the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Stanley W. Fields. The original term of the agreement was to be for two years and called for compensation of $16,667 per month, of which $9,000 per month was to be deferred. The agreement terminated on February 28, 2013 in connection with the Company hiring Mr. Fields as its Chief Executive Officer. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred $16,667 in consulting expense associated with this agreement. As disclosed in Note F-2, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued Cymbeline 600,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.10 per share, and also paid Cymbeline $31,670 in cash, in full satisfaction of $91,670 of accrued and deferred compensation in accordance with the agreement.

On January 1, 2013, the Company entered into an operating lease for office space and light warehouse and video production facilities in Portland, Oregon. As amended, the lease has a term of forty months through April 30, 2016. For the calendar years 2013 and 2014, base monthly rent was $6,222, with rent abated for the first three months of the lease term. Effective January 1, 2014, minimum base rent was increased to $8,571. The lease is designated as a modified net lease under which the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of increases in real estate taxes, cost of living indexes and building operating expenses measured against applicable base years as defined.

At December 31, 2014, the modified lease required future minimum payments of $134,294, of which $100,960 is due in fiscal 2015 and $33,334 is due in fiscal 2016.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release of All Claims with a former employee. In connection with the settlement, the Company agreed to (a) issue the former employee options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock and (b) pay the former employee an aggregate $110,000 upon the completion of specific capital raising targets. The $110,000 is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company has signed a letter of intent (“LOI”), dated August 1, 2015, with an underwriter to assist and advise the Company with a Regulation A, Tier Two offering to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). There can be no assurance provided by the Company that it will be successful in completing such an offering.

The LOI is to remain in effect for one year, unless terminated earlier under certain circumstances. The underwriter shall act on a “Best Efforts” basis and serve as the lead placement agent on the offering. For the advisory portion of its services the underwriter is paid $10,000 per month. The LOI requires the execution of a definitive underwriting agreement providing for an underwriting fee of five percent and five-year warrants to purchase common shares equal to five percent of the total number of shares offered in the final offering statement with an exercise price at a fifteen percent premium to the offering price. Any monthly fees paid will be deducted from the underwriting fee compensation. The Company is responsible for all fees associated with the offering without exception, except for legal fees related to the qualification of the securities offered under state securities laws and FINRA clearance, which separate fees shall not exceed $30,000. The Company is required to reimburse the underwriter, on request, for any fees paid on its behalf whether or not the offering is consummated.

In the event that the offering is not consummated or is terminated for any reason, the Company is required to reimburse the underwriter for all unreimbursed, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, expenses, and disbursements, including fees of the underwriter’s counsel, up to $100,000, offset by any advance monthly fees paid.

On November 17, 2015, as the Company had not then completed a liquidation event, the Company offered, and the Founding Director accepted, in exchange for the 7% Convertible Promissory Note and accrued interest thereon, a participation in the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock offering in the aggregate amount of $659,500, including accrued interest through November 2, 2015 of $59,500. In accordance with this exchange agreement the Company issued the noteholder 1,319,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in complete satisfaction of all of its obligations under the convertible note, together with an acknowledgement that no events of default exist or existed thereunder.

On November 17, 2015, the Company and AllSay, Inc., (“AllSay”) closed an asset purchase and sale agreement for certain intellectual property, effective on July 1, 2015. The principal shareholder of AllSay entered into an employment agreement with the Company and became the President of the Company effective July 1, 2015. The intellectual property constituted the primary asset of AllSay and consisted of internet domain names; a patent pending, “Impact Based Content Targeting”; a trademark; and the source code for the software AllSay’s principal application functionality, including consumer account creation and login, content management system for news articles, and the matching algorithm for consumers to news based on their consumer profile and a series of other inputs. The purchase price was fixed at 2,287,498 common shares of the Company.

Subsequent to December 31, 2014, the Company completed the following additional issuances of its Series A:

Subsequent to December 31, 2014, 2,000,000 common shares, valued at $2,000, were cancelled as a result of abandoning a transaction. See Note J-1.

The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its Series A in connection with an executed subscription agreement with the Founding Director to acquire such Series A shares at $0.50 per share. The $500,000 was recorded as a subscription receivable within stockholders’ deficit at June 30, 2015 and was subsequently collected by the Company

In May 2015, the Company and the landlord modified the terms of the lease agreement previously disclosed in Note J whereby the Company agreed to issue an aggregate 200,000 shares of its Series A in lieu of cash for the lease period from May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016. The grant date fair value of the shares issued was $100,000.

NewsBeat Social, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Oregon on April 17, 2012 and was re-incorporated in Delaware on April 24, 2015. The Company provides 60-second online video news clips, capable of supporting paid-for advertising, syndication and subscription services, over social media platforms. The Company believes its approach to newsgathering and distribution offers a disruptive alternative to the global news industry, including through its ability to deliver news globally at a low unit cost and in a device-agnostic manner. The Company’s objective is to deliver high-quality, news that effectively targets relevant consumers.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had working capital deficit and a stockholders' deficit of $222,273 and $1,294,635, respectively. The Company has generated minimal revenues and has incurred net losses since inception, including a net loss of $1,252,324 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ended December 31, 2015, or any other period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the years then ended, included elsewhere in this offering circular.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Advanced Media Labs, LLC, a wholly owned entity without significant operations. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share if their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the relevant period, such securities consisted of the following:

Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring through the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued require adjustment or disclosure in the Company's financial statements. See Note G.

Effective June 2, 2014, the Company issued to a related party and eventual director (the “Founding Director”) for cash received, an unsecured $600,000 convertible note, bearing interest at 7% per annum, due November 2, 2015 (See Note G) or earlier upon the completion of a liquidation event (the “7% Convertible Promissory Note”). Such amount outstanding has been included in Convertible Notes Payable – Related Party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Interest expense incurred by the Company on the 7% Convertible Promissory Note was $20,827and $3,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Such amount is included in accrued interest on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Subsequent to November 2, 2015, the 7% Convertible Promissory Note was exchanged for other securities. See Note G-2.

In January of 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of $500,000 in convertible promissory notes, due one year after issuance (the “15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes”). These notes bear interest at 15% per annum and are secured by all the assets of the Company. Prior to maturity, the holders of these 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2016, with all other terms and conditions remaining unchanged.

Prepayments of all or any portion of the notes are permitted at any time by the Company without premium or penalty. The notes may be assigned by holders, but only upon the prior written consent of the Company. At any time prior to the maturity date, the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted at the sole discretion of the note holder into common stock (or other equity securities) of the Company as may be sold in an equity financing, on the same terms and conditions as the other purchasers of such securities, at a price equal to the lesser of: a) 80% of the price paid by other purchasers in the financing of at least $3,000,000, or b) $0.80 per share. The Company has determined that as a result of the lack of an active trading market for its common stock, the conversion feature embedded within the 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes should not be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. The beneficial conversion feature will be accounted for, if necessary, at the time that an active trading market develops for the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the issuance of the $500,000 in 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share and exercisable for five years. The aggregate fair value of these warrants of $138,733 was accounted for as a debt discount and is included in Convertible Notes Payable-net, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015. The aggregate debt discount will be amortized over the life of the 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company amortized $67,905 of debt discount attributable to the total amount of such notes outstanding of $700,000 at June 30, 2015, which was included in interest expense on the accompanying statement of operations.

Effective on May 20, 2015, the Company issued to its founder, CEO and a director a secured promissory note of $40,000 for cash received, which amount was repaid in its entirety on August 24, 2015.

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Oregon on April 17, 2012, with 250,000,000 common shares authorized. The Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware, and pursuant to an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation dated April 24, 2015 (the “Restated Certificate”), the Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, all of which shares of preferred stock were designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A”) in the Restated Certificate.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company completed the following issuances of its Series A:

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, 2,000,000 common shares, valued at $2,000, were cancelled as a result of abandoning a transaction.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company completed the following issuances of its common stock:

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued 1,650,000 and 1,725,000, respectively, common stock purchase options to employees and consultants. Of those aggregate options issued, 3,325,000 are exercisable at $0.50 per share and 50,000 are exercisable at $0.02 per share.

The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $253,166 and $235,719, respectively. The weighted average of the outstanding options at June 30, 2015 was 2.3 years and the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at June 30, 2015 was $24,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, stock-based compensation related to stock options totaled $164,519 and $129,531, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, total unrecognized stock option compensation expense is $248,764, which will be recognized as those options vest over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years. The amount of future stock option compensation expense could be affected by any future option grants or by any option holders leaving the Company before their grants are fully vested.

The Black-Scholes assumptions with respect to the valuation of stock options granted are as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued 325,000 and 1,025,000 warrants, respectively, for various employees and consultants for services rendered, all with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The aggregate grant date fair value of the warrants granted was $32,466 and $171,520 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The warrants were fully vested on the grant dates. As of June 30, 2015, the weighted average remaining contractual term of the warrants outstanding was approximately three years.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation related to the warrants granted of $32,466 and $171,520 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The fair value of each warrant grant is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Volatility is based on average historical volatilities for public companies in similar industries over the expected term of the options. The contractual term is used for the life of each warrant. The risk-free rate is for periods within the contractual life of the warrants s and is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The Black-Scholes assumptions with respect to the warrants granted are as follows:

The LOI is to remain in effect for one-year, unless terminated earlier under certain circumstances. The underwriter shall act on a “Best Efforts” basis and serve as the lead placement agent on the offering. For the advisory portion of its services the underwriter is paid $10,000 per month. The LOI requires the execution of a definitive underwriting agreement providing for an underwriting fee of five percent and five-year warrants to purchase common shares equal to five percent of the total number of shares offered in the final offering statement with an exercise price at a fifteen percent premium to the offering price. Any monthly fees paid will be deducted from the underwriting fee compensation. The Company is responsible for all fees associated with the offering without exception, except for legal fees related to the qualification of the securities offered under state securities laws and FINRA clearance, which separate fees shall not exceed $30,000. The Company is required to reimburse the underwriter, on request, for any fees paid on its behalf whether or not the offering is consummated.

On November 17, 2015, as the Company had not then completed a liquidation event, the Company offered, and the Founding Director accepted, in exchange for the 7% Convertible Promissory Note and accrued interest thereon a participation in the Company’s Series A offering in the aggregate amount of $659,500, including accrued interest through November 2, 2015 of $59,500. In accordance with this exchange agreement the Company issued the noteholder 1,319,000 shares of Series A in complete satisfaction of all of its obligations under the convertible note, together with an acknowledgement that no events of default exist or existed thereunder.

On November 17, 2015, the Company and AllSay, Inc., (“AllSay”) closed an asset purchase and sale agreement for certain intellectual property, effective on July 1, 2015. The principal shareholder of AllSay entered into an employment agreement with the Company and became the President of the Company. The intellectual property constituted the primary asset of AllSay and consists of internet domain names; a patent pending, “Impact Based Content Targeting”; a trademark; and the source code for the software AllSay’s principal application functionality, including consumer account creation and login, content management system for news articles, and the matching algorithm for consumers to news based on their consumer profile and a series of other inputs. The purchase price was fixed at 2,287,498 common shares of the Company.

On October 15, 2015, the Board of Directors extended the expiration date of certain qualified stock options for a three year period previously granted pursuant to the 2012 Stock Option Plan that remained outstanding on that date. All other terms and conditions remained unchanged. A total of 4,525,000 of such options were extended which included 4,025,000 issued on December 31, 2014 and prior and 500,000 were granted between January 1, 2015 and October 15, 2015. In addition, options to purchase 300,000 common shares at $0.50 per share were granted to employees in the six month period ended December 31, 2015.

Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company completed the following additional issuances of its Series A:

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation A, the issuer certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form 1-A and has duly caused this offering statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Portland, State of Oregon, on March 3, 2016.
