Pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1, SEC File No. 333-193611 which was declared effective on February 4, 2014, the registrant registered 2,672,903 shares of Class A common stock underlying outstanding warrants and in connection therewith paid a registration fee of $1,025.92 which such securities of the registrant remained registered and unsold.  Pursuant to Rule 457(p), the registration fee associated with the unsold securities is offset from the registration fee associated with this registration statement and such unsold securities from the previous registration statement are deemed deregistered.

About us


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


·

sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;

·

sales of media inventory owned by our publishing partners through RTB exchanges;

·

sale and licensing of our GroupAd platform and related media; and,

·

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


During the fourth quarter of 2014 we completed our acquisitions of Steel Media and Five Delta. Steel Media’s incorporation into Social Reality has had a significant impact on our revenue and overall results of operations, as we have added in their buy-side revenue, gross margins, and its historically-profitable operating results. Incorporating Steel Media into our company has provided their sales and operations additional market access provided in-house by the SRAX diversified RTB platform, providing cost savings by using the existing Social Reality offerings, and also providing their sales staff with additional offerings from the SRAX MD, Five Delta and GroupAd products. With the integration of Five Delta technology into the SRAX platform, we are enhancing our customers’ ability to buy advertising on all social channels and search products.

RISK FACTORS


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


Risks Related to our Business


We have a history of losses. Recent transactions will have material impacts on our financial results in future periods and there are no assurances we will report profitable operations in the foreseeable future.


Although we reported net income of $415,591 for the second quarter of 2015, we reported a net loss of $1.6 million for six months ended June 30, 2015 and at June 30, 2015 we had an accumulated deficit of $9.1 million.  We incurred a net loss of $4.4 million for 2014 and a net loss of $1.75 million in 2013.  At December 31, 2014 we had an accumulated deficit of $7.4 million. During the fourth quarter of 2014 we acquired Steel Media and Five Delta, and entered into the Financing Agreement, all of which are described later in this prospectus. While we expect that our business will continue to grow and our revenues will increase in future periods, our operating expenses will also continue to significantly increase, as will our interest expense. Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to grow the revenues and profits in our agency and brand-driven buy-side business which is primarily related to our recently acquired Steel Media subsidiary, as well as our ability to grow the revenues and profits from our publisher and technology-driven sell-side business which is primarily our historical operations. There are no assurances that we will be able to increase our revenues and cash flow to a level which supports profitable operations. We may continue to incur losses in future periods until such time, if ever, as we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues and cash flow beyond what is necessary to fund our ongoing operations, pay our obligations under the Financing Agreement and pay any earn out amounts which Mr. Steel may be entitled to receive. If we are able to significantly increase our revenues in future periods, the rapid growth which we are pursuing will strain our organization and we may encounter difficulties in maintaining the quality of our operations. If we are not able to grow successfully, it is unlikely we will be able to fully benefit from the acquisition of Steel Media, generate sufficient cash from operations to pay our operating expenses and service our debt obligations, or report profitable operations in future periods.


We have a limited operating history.


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


There are no assurances we will successfully integrate Steel Media and/or Five Delta into our business which would adversely affect the combined company's future results.


In October 2014 we closed our acquisition of Steel Media, and in December 2014 we closed our acquisition of Five Delta. The success of these acquisitions will depend, in large part, on the ability of the combined company to realize anticipated benefits from combining the businesses of the companies. Our management has limited experience with integrating acquired companies' business and operations. The failure to successfully integrate and to successfully manage the challenges presented by the integration process may result in the failure to achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits of the transactions, which may have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. Potential difficulties that may be encountered in the integration process include the following:


·

the ability of the acquired companies to continue to report revenues and earnings at historic levels;

·

possible loss by one or both of the acquired companies of material customers post-closing;

·

using the combined company's cash and other assets efficiently to develop the business of the combined company;



4



 


·

appropriately managing the liabilities of the combined company;

·

potential unknown or currently unquantifiable liabilities associated with the acquisitions and the operations of the combined company;

·

certain terms of the Steel Media Stock Purchase Agreement which limit Mr. Steel's obligations to indemnify us in certain instances which could result in unforeseen expenses to us;

·

potential unknown and unforeseen expenses and delays associated with the acquisitions;

·

performance shortfalls at one or both of the companies as a result of the diversion of management's attention caused by integrating the companies' operations;

·

necessary changes in the operations and culture of the acquired companies post-closing in order to accommodate the change from a privately-held company to a subsidiary of a public company;

·

the impact of the earn out payments Mr. Steel may receive with respect to our results of operations in future periods;

·

managing two sales teams with disparate products and compensation plans;

·

significant increases in our operating expenses; and

·

additional business, financial and operating risks we have yet to identify.


There are no assurances that the acquisitions will ultimately result in the realization of the anticipated benefits. If we are unable to realize the perceived benefits from these acquisitions, we may be required to impair some or all of the goodwill associated with these acquisitions which would materially adversely impact our results of operations in future periods.


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


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


·

entering into new debt or equity financing transactions;

·

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

·

making certain payments or distributions;

·

acquisitions;

·

dispositions of assets or business lines;

·

affiliate transactions;

·

engaging in new lines of business; and

·

the investment of cash,


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


·

failure to pay principal or interest;

·

filing of, or proceedings for bankruptcy or reorganization;

·

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

·

breach or misrepresentation of covenants, representations or warranties;

·

the occurrence of a material adverse effect;

·

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

·

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

·

breaches or defaults not remedied within prescribed cure periods;



5



 


·

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

·

a change in control of our company.


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


The terms of the promissory note issued in the Steel Media acquisition also contain financial and operating terms, representations and covenants that may restrict our ability to efficiently operate our business or if breached, could result in acceleration of principal and interest payments and dilution through the release of the Escrow Shares.


As described later in this prospectus, on October 30, 2014 we issued a one year secured subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $2.5 million, which we refer to as the Steel Note, to Mr. Steel as partial consideration for our acquisition of Steel Media. As collateral, we deposited 2,386,863 shares of our Class A common stock into escrow with a third party escrow agent, which we refer to as the Escrow Shares. This note is subordinated to the notes issued under the terms of the Financing Agreement. As with the Financing Agreement, the Steel Note contains certain covenants which may restrict our ability to operate our consolidated business, and contain events of default which, if not cured, could result in the release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel. An event of default under the Steel Note would in all likelihood result in an event of default under the Financing Agreement. In that event, it is unlikely we would be able to continue our business and operations as they are presently conducted. In such event, you could lose your entire investment in our company.


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


Our debt obligations are currently comprised of senior notes issued under the Financing Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $10.5 million, which are scheduled to mature in October 2017, and the $2.5 million Steel Note which matures in October 2015. The terms of both the Financing Agreement and the Steel Note contain certain mandatory prepayment requirements which generally require us to calculate excess cash flow on a quarterly basis, and remit approximately 62.5% of this excess cash to the lenders. This dramatically reduces cash flow available to the company for working capital, accretion of a cash reserve, growth initiatives, or additional acquisitions. These obligations may further adversely impact our business and operations in other areas, including making it more difficult to satisfy our other obligations, increasing our vulnerability in the event of a downturn in our business prospects and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our markets and possibly placing us at a competitive disadvantage when compared to our competitors who have less debt. In addition, the mandatory prepayments under the Financing Agreement will make it difficult and unlikely that we will accumulate sufficient cash to fully satisfy the Steel Note in cash when due, and could hinder our ability to make the required earn out payments to Mr. Steel, assuming the threshold criteria are met.




6



 


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


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


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


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


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


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

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


Facebook currently provides access to companies to build applications on their platform. We have built our GroupAd platform to use the Facebook application programming interface, or APIs. While we expect that a material portion of our revenues in the near term will be generated through our Steel Media Group, the loss of access to the Facebook platform would limit our ability to effectively grow a portion of our historical operations. We are subject to Facebook's standard terms and conditions for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of applications on the Facebook platform. Facebook reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. Our business would be harmed if Facebook:


·

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

·

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

·

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

·

develops its own competitive offerings.


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


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


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


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


At June 30, 2015, one SRAX AD Exchange customer, who collects advertising payments from multiple advertisers, and two additional customers each accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, for a total of 80% of our accounts receivable balance. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, two customers accounted for 63% of our total revenue. Additionally, 10% of our revenue was collected and paid to us by one of our RTB exchange service providers during the first six months of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, 75% of our revenue was collected and paid to us by two of our RTB exchange service providers.  The loss of any of these customers could have material adverse impact on our results of operations in future periods.


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


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


·

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

·

our inability to create applications for our customers;

·

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

·

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

·

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



8



 


·

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

·

regulatory actions may negatively impact our business practices.


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


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


The two recent acquisitions of Steel Media and Five Delta have been a significant element of our business strategy, and we may continue to pursue acquisitions in an effort to increase revenue, expand our market position, add to our technological capabilities, or for other purposes. However, any future acquisitions would likely involve risk, including the following:


·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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


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


We have placed shares in escrow to secure our payment of the $2.5 million note to Mr. Steel. If we were to default upon the note, the Escrow Shares would be released from escrow and considered outstanding which would be dilutive to our existing stockholders. In addition, he could exercise his right to put the shares back to us.


As collateral under the note issued to Mr. Steel, we deposited the 2,386,863 Escrow Shares into escrow with a third party escrow agent. The shares are not currently considered outstanding. If we were to default under the terms of the note, the shares would be released to Mr. Steel and all amounts due under the note will be deemed paid and the Steel Note will be satisfied in full provided that we have satisfied certain conditions, including the registration of the resale of such shares under an effective registration statement filed with the SEC and Mr. Steel's ability to freely trade such shares, among other conditions. The release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel will be dilutive to our existing stockholders. In addition, if these conditions are not each satisfied at the time of release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel, then the principal and interest due under the note remains outstanding except that it will be deemed repaid from time to time, dollar for dollar, from the proceeds realized by Mr. Steel from the sale or other disposition of the Escrow Shares. In that event, we could remain liable for a significant portion of the obligations due under the note issued to Mr. Steel even though the Escrow Shares were released to him. Finally, upon the release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel, he has the right to put the shares back to us at a put price of $1.0474 per share. If Mr. Steel were to exercise the put right and we were obligated to repurchase some or all of the Escrow Shares, our liquidity would be adversely impacted and we may not have sufficient working capital to fund our operating expenses and pay our obligations as they become due, including under the Financing Agreement. If we do not have sufficient funds to pay the put price to Mr. Steel, we could be subject to additional claims by him in seeking to enforce his rights which would materially and adversely impact our business and operations.

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


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


Risk related to our Class A common stock


There is not now, and there may not ever be, an active market for our Class A common stock, which trades in the over-the-counter market in low volumes and at volatile prices.


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


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


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


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


As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, our management has determined that, as of December 31, 2014, we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework as a result of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.   We have yet to fully remediate the previously identified material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and our management identified additional material weaknesses resulting from our acquisition of Steel Media and the integration of those operations into ours during its evaluation for the 2014 period.  Although we have never been required to restate our financial statements, as set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on February 20, 2015, we discovered errors in the historic financial statements of Steel Media for periods which predated our acquisition of that company.  We engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to reaudit the Steel Media historical financial statements which contained the errors, and the restated historical financial statements of Steel Media have been subsequently filed as an exhibit to, and as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on August 12, 2015. While the restatement of these historic Steel Media financial statements did not have any impact on our previously filed financial statements, the existence of the continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting increases the risk that a future restatement of our consolidated financials is possible.

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


At August 31, 2015 we have common stock warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 933,896 shares of our Class A common stock with an average exercise price of $1.10 per share which are exercisable on a cashless basis. This means that the holders, rather than paying the exercise price in cash, may surrender a number of warrants equal to the exercise price of the warrants being exercised or reduce the principal under the term note issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement. In addition, the exercise price of the Financing Warrant to purchase 2,900,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share is payable at the option of the warrant holder through a reduction in the principal outstanding under the notes issued under the terms of the Financing Agreement.  It is possible that the warrant holders will use the cashless exercise feature, and that the holder of the Financing Warrant will elect to pay the exercise price through a reduction in the amount owed.  In either event, it will deprive us of additional capital which might otherwise be obtained if the warrants were exercised on a cash basis.

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


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


If the selling security holders all elect to sell their shares of our Class A common stock at the same time, the market price of our shares may decrease.


It is possible that the selling security holders will offer all of the shares for sale. Further, because it is possible that a significant number of shares could be sold at the same time hereunder, the sales, or the possibility thereof, may have a depressive effect on the market price of our Class A common stock.

The last sale price of our Class A common stock as reported on the OTCQB on August 31, 2015 was $1.95 per share. As of August 31, 2015, there were approximately 70 record owners of our Class A common stock.


Dividend policy


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


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


Future sales under Rule 144


At August 31, 2015 we had approximately 15,254,000 outstanding shares of Class A common stock which are "restricted securities" under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person, or person whose shares are aggregated, who is not our affiliate or has not been an affiliate during the prior three months and owns shares that were purchased from us, or any affiliate, at least six months previously, is entitled to make unlimited public resales of such shares provided there is current public information available at the time of the resales. A person, or persons whose shares are aggregated, who are affiliates of the issuer and own shares that were purchased from us, or any affiliate, at least six months previously is generally entitled to sell within any three month period, a number of shares of Class A common stock that does not exceed 1% of the then outstanding shares of Class A common stock, subject to manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the issuer.


Future sales of restricted Class A common stock under Rule 144 or otherwise or of the shares which we are registering under this prospectus could negatively impact the market price of our Class A common stock. We are unable to estimate the number of shares that may be sold in the future by our existing stockholders or the effect, if any, that sales of shares by our stockholders will have on the market price of our Class A common stock prevailing from time to time.

USE OF PROCEEDS


We will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of shares of Class A common stock by the selling security holders. However, if all of the warrant holders exercise the warrants on a cash basis, we would receive approximately $8,794,000 in gross proceeds. Any proceeds that we receive from the exercise of the outstanding warrants, if exercised on a cash basis, will be used by us for general working capital, subject to the terms of the Financing Agreement. The actual allocation of proceeds realized from the exercise of the warrants will depend upon the amount and timing of such exercises, our operating revenues and cash position at such time and our working capital requirements. There can be no assurances that any of the outstanding warrants will be exercised.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this prospectus. We use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.


Overview


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


·

sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;

·

sales of media inventory owned by our publishing partners through RTB exchanges;

·

sale and licensing of our GroupAd platform and related media; and

·

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


The five core elements of this business are:


·

Social Reality Ad Exchange or "SRAX" Real Time Bidding sell side and buy side representation is our technology which assists publishers in delivering their media inventory to the real time bidding, or RTB, exchanges. The SRAX platform integrates multiple market-leading demand sources including ADX, Yahoo, OpenX, Pubmatic, Casalle, AppNexus and Live Rail;


·

GroupAd is a social media and loyalty platform that allows brands to launch and manage their social media initiatives;


·

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


·

SRAX DI is a team of social media experts that helps brands and agencies create and manage their social media presence; and


·

Steel Media provides display, mobile, and email ad inventory to brands and ad agencies. This acquisition has allowed us to begin selling our buy-side RTB services to advertising agencies, and allows us to provide digital media inventory for Steel's campaigns, resulting in increased gross margins for the combined companies.


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


During the fourth quarter of 2014 we completed our acquisitions of Steel Media and Five Delta. Steel Media’s incorporation into Social Reality has had a significant impact on our revenue and overall results of operations, as we have added in their buy-side revenue, gross margins, and its historically-profitable operating results. Incorporating Steel Media into our company has provided their sales and operations additional market access provided in-house by the SRAX diversified RTB platform, providing cost savings by using the existing Social Reality offerings, and also providing their sales staff with additional offerings from the SRAX MD, Five Delta and GroupAd products. With the integration of Five Delta

technology into the SRAX platform, we are enhancing our customers’ ability to buy advertising on all social channels and search products.


As discussed later in this prospectus, our revenues have significantly increased in the 2015 periods from the comparable 2014 periods as a result of the overall growth of our company. We expect that we will continue to experience revenue increases during the last six months of 2015 from the comparable 2014 periods as we continue to broaden our reach and introduce new products. During the second quarter of 2015 we launched the SRAX App, a free platform that provides online publishers an opportunity to distribute their content via a branded mobile application that updates automatically as they publish new content to their website. The platform also allows publishers the opportunity to bring in influencer feeds from Facebook and Twitter that are relevant to their content. We also expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase as our business grows, and we devote additional marketing and business development resources towards promoting that growth.

Revenue


Increases in our revenues in both the second quarter of 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 from the comparable periods in 2014 are due to growth in both the sell-side products, and buy-side products.


Cost of revenue


Cost of revenue consists of certain labor costs, payments to website publishers and others that are directly related to a revenue-generating event and project and application design costs. During 2015 we have continued to benefit from an increase in our gross margins as a result of the decrease in our cost of revenue. Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue decreased to 47.9% for the second quarter of 2015 and 50.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 73.8% and 69.5%, respectively, for the same periods in 2014. These decreases are due to the mix of higher-margin products. Approximately 99% of cost of revenue for the second quarter of 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 was attributable to payments to website publishers and other media providers as compared to 92% and 96% for the comparable periods in 2014. The balance was attributable to labor costs and project and application design costs. As we continue to grow the revenue from our buy-side and sell-side product offerings, we expect that our blended gross margins will remain in the range of 40% to 50% for the remainder of 2015.


Operating expense


Our operating expenses are comprised of salaries, commissions, marketing and general overhead expenses. Overall, our operating expense increased 346% and 293%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2015 and the six months then ended from the comparable periods in 2014. Included in the overall increase is an increase of approximately 69% and 63% in our operating expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, which is attributable to operating expenses of Steel Media for which we did not have comparable expenses in the 2014 periods. Our other historic operating expenses have increased as we have increased our technical team, our sales team and our marketing efforts in support of the growth of our company.

Interest income (expense)


Interest expense in the 2015 periods represent costs associated with the note issued to Mr. Steel as partial consideration for the purchase of Steel Media together with the original note issued in October 2014 under the Financing Agreement described elsewhere in this prospectus. The expense also includes amortization of debt costs and the accretion of contingent consideration and the put liability associated with the Steel Media acquisition. We expect our interest expense will continue to increase substantially during the balance of 2015 from the comparable periods in 2014 as a result of these obligations.


2014 as compared to 2013


Overall, our revenues increased 50% for 2014 as compared to 2013 which is attributable to revenues from acquisitions made during the fourth quarter of 2014. We have experienced a significant increase in revenue during the last six months of 2014 as the SRAX platform has come online, supporting a diversified revenue stream. While we cannot be certain that we will attain the revenue growth patterns experienced in the past, we are optimistic about the recurring revenue from our SRAX platform and the long term value that we believe will result from the use of our proprietary platform and the diversity in demand partners and exchanges. In addition to continued revenue growth from SRAX and other Social Reality offerings, we expect to show significant revenue growth with the addition of Steel Media and the technical and product contributions from Five Delta.


Cost of revenue


Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue was 55% for 2014 compared to 68% for 2013. Over 95% of cost of revenue for each of the 2014 and 2013 periods was attributable to payments to website publishers and other media providers. The balance was attributable to labor costs and project and application design costs. As we continue to grow the revenue from our buy-side and sell-side product offerings, we expect that our blended gross margins will remain in the range of 45% to 55% for 2015.


Operating expense


Operating expense increased 141% for 2014 from 2013. Included in our operating expenses for 2014 are approximately $1.2 million of non-cash expenses associated with stock based compensation. Certain of these non-cash expenses are being amortized over the lives of the contracts which extend into 2016. These costs aggregated approximately $654,000 for 2014 as compared with approximately $238,000 for 2013. The balance of our other operating expenses includes salaries, commissions, and general overhead expenses. Approximately 21% of the increase in our operating expenses in 2014 as compared to 2013 is attributable to operating expenses of Steel Media following the closing of the acquisition of that entity in October 2014. Our other historic operating expenses have increased as we have increased our technical team, our sales team and our marketing efforts.


Interest expense


Interest expense in 2014 represents costs associated with the note issued to Mr. Steel as partial consideration for the purchase of Steel Media together with the original note issued in October 2014 under the Financing Agreement. The expense also includes amortization of debt costs and the accretion of contingent consideration and the put liability associated with the Steel Media acquisition. We expect our interest expense will increase substantially during 2015 and beyond, although we are not able at this time to quantify the expected increase due to the variability of interest rates and earnout potential.


Interest expense in 2013 represents costs associated with the revolving credit facility from TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP. We paid off the note and terminated this facility in October 2013.

Non-GAAP financial measures


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


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

Liquidity and capital resources


Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. As of June 30, 2015 we had approximately $1,516,000 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of approximately $6,261,000, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,843,000 and a deficit in working capital of approximately $4,396,000 at December 31, 2014. Our accounts receivable and accounts payable have increased substantially at June 30, 2015 from December 31, 2014 as a result in the revenue growth.


Our principal sources of operating capital have been equity and debt financing. In the first quarter of 2014 we raised additional capital of approximately $1,273,000 and in the fourth quarter of 2014 we raised an additional $3,776,000 in net proceeds through the sale of our equity securities. During the fourth quarter of 2014 we entered into the Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders which is described below. The Financing Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $20 million. We drew $9 million at the time of our entry into the Financing Agreement which was used in connection with the acquisition of Steel Media, and have drawn an additional $1.5 million in July 2015, which is being used for working capital.


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


·

monthly interest payments, inclusive of payment-in-kind, or PIK interest, of approximately $100,000;

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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


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


Additionally, in accordance with the terms of the Steel Note, we are required to make:


·

full payment of the principal of $2.5 million and accrued interest on October 30, 2015;

·

prepayment in the event of a change of control; and

·

quarterly prepayments, in an amount calculated as 25% of excess cash amount as defined in the note, of EBITDA, less amortization and interest payment to the senior lender.


Finally, under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of Steel Media, we are potentially obligated to pay Mr. Steel up to two $4 million annual earn out payments based upon the satisfaction of certain targets generated by Steel Media operations for the periods ending October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2016. The adjusted EBITDA targets which must be met in order for Mr. Steel to earn these additional amounts are approximately $4.1 million for the 2015 period and approximately $4.9 million for the 2016 period. If met, and if we are unable to pay up to 60% of the amounts in shares of our Class A common stock because we have failed to satisfy certain conditions of the Steel Note, the cash payments we will need to make to Mr. Steel are only slightly below the EBITDA targets, thereby significantly reducing the funds which may be used for our debt service obligations and for working capital needs. Any failure on our part to make any earn out payments which may be due Mr. Steel could result in an event of default under the Financing Agreement.


The net effect of these required payments under the Financing Agreement and the Steel Note, as well as the possibility of the earn out payments to Mr. Steel, is anticipated to equal the majority of the cash flow generated from Steel Media’s operations. To the extent that we are able to increase the earnings attributable to Steel Media, we will be paying down both the note issued under the Financing Agreement and note issued to Mr. Steel.


Other than cash generated from operations and the Financing Agreement, we do not have any external sources of liquidity. While the Financing Agreement provides that we can borrow up to $20 million in total, our ability to access any additional funds under it is at the discretion of the lender, and there can be no assurance the lender will agree to lend us any additional amounts. If we are able to significantly increase our revenues and cash flows from operations, we should have sufficient internally generated working capital to satisfy these obligations and fund our ongoing business. If, however, we are not successful in these efforts and we are not able to access additional funding under the Financing Agreement, it is possible we will need to delay or scale back our growth plans.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities


We generated $233,000 of cash in our operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $1,425,000 used by our operating activities the during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in cash used in operating activities in 2015 was primarily attributable to net income (after adjusting for non-cash expenses) in the 2015 period.


We used $2,481,551 of cash in our operating activities during 2014 compared to $478,933 used by our operating activities for 2013. The increase in cash used in operating activities in 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in net loss (after adjusting for non-cash expenses) and increases in accounts receivable and prepayments, all partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities.


Net Cash Used in Investing Activities


We used $0 for the purchase of furniture and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2015, with $6,856 used during the six months ended June 30, 2014.


We used $6,856 for the purchase of furniture and equipment during 2014, with $19,982 used during 2013. We also made a cash payment of $2,000,000 pursuant to the acquisition of Steel Media and acquired $32,038 of cash during 2014.


Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities


During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we used $560,000 of cash primarily in note payments, compared to $1,257,000 of cash provided due to the sale of Class A common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2014.


During 2014, we received $3,952,847 from the sale of our securities and paid costs of $16,291 associated with the sales. We received $1,227,601 in proceeds from the Financing Agreement and paid costs of $579,659. During 2013 we received $2,436,493 from the sale of our securities and paid costs of $48,111 associated with the sales. We received $486,425 in cash from financing activities during the period from the proceeds of a credit facility. We paid costs of $36,162 related to this facility and repaid $550,000 of the revolving credit facility, and paid $175,000 to redeem shares of our Class A common stock issued in connection with the facility. We also paid costs of $5,453 related to the sale of our securities that occurred in January 2014.


The fourth quarter 2014 private offering


Between October 30, 2014 and November 5, 2014, we sold 4,220,500 units of our securities to 28 accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. The units were sold at a purchase price of $1.00 per unit resulting in gross proceeds to us of $4,220,500. Each unit consisted of one share of our Class A common stock and one three year Class A common stock purchase warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. Provided that there is an effective registration statement registering the shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, we have the right to redeem all or any portion of the warrants at a price of $0.001 per share of Class A common stock underlying such warrants upon 20 days' notice at any time that the closing price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $3.75 per share for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily average minimum volume of our Class A common stock during those 20 trading days is at least 100,000 shares.


In addition to the units sold for cash, we also issued T.R. Winston & Company, LLC, a broker dealer and member of FINRA, 800,000 units, valued at $800,000 as compensation for the firm's investment banking services to us in connection with the acquisition of Steel Media. The units issued to T.R. Winston & Company, LLC were identical to the units sold in the private placement.




21



 


T.R. Winston & Company, LLC acted as placement agent for us in private placement offering. We paid the placement agent and a selling agent cash commissions totaling $351,435 and issued T.R. Winston & Company, LLC and the selling agent three year warrants to purchase 301,230 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants issued to the placement agent and the selling agent are identical to the warrants included in the units issued to the investors. We used $2,500,000 of the net proceeds from the offering as part of the cash consideration for the acquisition of Steel Media and used approximately $678,000 for fees in this transaction, including $580,000 to T.R. Winston & Company, LLC as a loan origination fee for the Financing Agreement. The balance of the net proceeds will be used for general working capital.


We agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the warrants within 90 days from the closing of the Steel Media acquisition. This prospectus is part of that registration statement. We are obligated to pay all costs associated with this registration statement, other than selling expenses of the warrant holders.


We agreed to indemnify the T.R. Winston & Company, LLC and its controlling persons to the fullest extent permitted by law against certain liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the private offering, including certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and, where such indemnification is not available, to contribute to the payments the placement agent may be required to make with respect to such liabilities, except in such circumstances where the liabilities occurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party.


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


On October 30, 2014, we entered into the Financing Agreement, which provides for borrowings of up to $20 million to be evidenced by notes issued thereunder, which are secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in substantially all of our assets, including those of our subsidiaries, and a pledge of 100% of the equity interests of each of our domestic subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of a Pledge and Security Agreement. The Financing Agreement contains covenants limiting, among other things, indebtedness, liens, transfers or sales of assets, distributions or dividends, and merger or consolidation activity. The notes issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement, including the note we issued to the lender on October 30, 2014 in the original aggregate principal amount of $9 million and the note we issued to the lender on July 6, 2015, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of:


·

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

·

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


If we achieve a reduction in the leverage ratio as described in the Financing Agreement, the PIK interest rate declines on a sliding scale from 4% to 2%. The notes issued under the Financing Agreement are scheduled to mature on October 30, 2017. Proceeds from the initial note in the principal amount of $9 million were used to finance, in part, our acquisition of Steel Media as described earlier in this prospectus. On July 6, 2015 we borrowed an additional $1,500,000 under the terms of the Financing Agreement.  The loan funded on July 8, 2015.  We are using the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement for working capital.


The Financing Agreement provides for our subsidiaries to join the Financing Agreement from time to time as borrowers and cross guarantors thereunder. Immediately after our acquisition of Steel Media on October 30, 2014, Steel Media executed a joinder agreement under which it became a borrower under the Financing Agreement. In addition, immediately after our acquisition of Five Delta on December 19, 2014, Five Delta executed a joinder agreement under which it became a borrower under the Financing Agreement. Since December 2014 we made required principal payments of the note issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement of approximately $441,000 together with approximately $517,000 of interest.

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


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


Critical accounting policies


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for 2014 appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.


Recent accounting pronouncements


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


Off balance sheet arrangements


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

OUR BUSINESS


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


·

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

·

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

·

sale and licensing of our GroupAd platform and related media; and

·

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


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


With the addition of Steel Media, we are providing our SRAX platform to brands and their advertising agencies. We are building custom platforms that allow our agency partners to launch and manage their own RTB campaigns. These efforts involve working with the brand and agencies to understand their marketing objectives and then customizing our buying platform to allow these clients to import their own first party consumer targeting data to maximize their media buys. We are also able to provide the clients access to third party consumer targeting data that allows them to further target their media buys. In some instances we are providing these services on a managed basis where the clients provide us with an insertion order and we launch and manage the program on the SRAX platform on their behalf.


With the integration of Five Delta technology into the SRAX platform, we are enhancing our customers' ability to buy advertising on all social channels and search products. We are able to measure the effectiveness of a program across display, mobile, video, social and search which permits us to then be able to allocate our client's advertising budget to the most effective medium for our clients.


GroupAd . GroupAd is a social media and loyalty platform that allows brands to launch and manage their social media initiatives. GroupAd allows brand marketers to select from a number of pre-created applications, and then launch these applications and loyalty programs on their social media sites and their websites. With the addition of the SRAX RTB platform, we are helping brands to identify their influencers and then, utilizing this first party data, we are creating "look alike audiences." Look alike audiences are consumers who are match the characteristics of the identified "influencers." These consumers are likely to be influential to the brand. Once we create the "look alike audience," we are able to reach these consumers across the web and on social networks through our SRAX platform.


SRAX MD . Launched in the third quarter of 2014, SRAX MD is an ad targeting and data platform for healthcare brands, agencies and medical content publishers. Healthcare and pharmaceutical publishers utilize the platform for yield optimization, audience extension campaigns and re-targeting of their healthcare professional audience. Agencies and brands purchase targeted digital and mobile ad campaigns.


SRAX DI . We have found that many of our clients need to build a social media presence. SRAX DI provides the tools and services necessary to launch a presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and other social networks. Our team works with customers to identify their needs and then helps them in the creation, deployment and management of their social media presence.

Steel Media . Steel Media serves the needs of brands and advertising agencies by helping its clients to navigate the complex digital advertising marketplace while executing campaigns across online display, email, mobile, and video channels. We believe that this multi-channel approach allows brands to execute cross-channel campaigns in order to reach a target audience at scale. Campaigns may run on one channel or across multiple channels. Steel Media currently focuses on four channels based on a combination of market demand and economics.


Steel Media historically operated much like a consulting or business process outsourcing firm, leveraging well established relationships with technology partners to provide its clients with various ways of engaging and influencing specific consumer and business-to-business audiences. The integration into Social Reality will enable Steel Media to utilize our SRAX tools to buy and manage their programs. SRAX is also being used as a tool that is client facing to deliver reports and to allow clients to schedule their own media buys. Steel Media engages with its clients on both the sales and campaign management sides of the business. Over the course of its 14-year history, Steel Media has created what we believe to be an advantage in the marketplace by honing its skills in managing digital advertising campaigns, and developing preferred relationships with some of the largest technology partners in the industry.   Steel Media has strategically focused its sales efforts on developing relationships with advertising agencies and has worked with dozens of agencies over the years, representing some of the world's most recognized brands. Proprietary processes are employed to help brands target specific audiences by identifying groups based on age, behavioral patterns, geographic location, ethnicity, household income, or various other attributes. This targeting capability is intended to allow brands to create a direct relationship with consumers.


Marketing and sales


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


We do not generate our own media inventory nor do we currently own or operate websites that drive traffic to our marketing campaigns. We rely on our publishing partners to provide the media inventory that we sell and use to promote our marketing campaigns as well as to assist in driving user traffic to these campaigns.


Intellectual property


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




25



 


Competition


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


Government regulation


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


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


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

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


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


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


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


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


The CAN-SPAM Act's main provisions include:


 

·

prohibiting false or misleading email header information;

 

·

prohibiting the use of deceptive subject lines;

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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


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



27



 


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


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


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


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


Employees


At August 31, 2015 we had 33 full-time employees. We also contract for the services of an additional approximately 45 individuals from a third-party provider.  There are no collective bargaining agreements covering any of our employees.


Legal proceedings


We are not a party to any pending or threatened litigation.


Our offices


We lease our principal executive offices from an unrelated third party under a sublease agreement terminating on December 31, 2018 at an annual amount of $37,200. We also lease approximately 3,400 square feet of office space in Mexicali, Baja California, from an unrelated third party under a lease agreement terminating in September 2021 at an initial annual rental of $77,580 plus a value-added tax (VAT) or its equivalent in the Mexican national currency and a 10% VAT for maintenance and certain overhead expenses.  Our rental obligations under this agreement begin on September 30, 2015.  Steel Media leases its executive office space in New York, New York from an unrelated third party on a month to month basis at a base monthly rental of $5,850, which is subject to increase if additional services as requested.


Our history


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


Acquisition of Steel Media


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


·

a cash payment at closing of $7.5 million;

·

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



28



 


·

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

·

an earn out payment of up to $8 million.


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


·

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

·

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


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


The Steel Note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and the principal and accrued interest is due and payable on October 30, 2015. The amounts due under the Steel Note accelerate and become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default as described in the Steel Note, and upon an event of default under the Steel Note, the interest rate increases to 10% per annum. The Steel Note may be prepaid upon five days' notice to Mr. Steel, and the Steel Note must be prepaid upon a change of control of our company or Steel Media. The Steel Note is also subject to certain mandatory partial prepayments for each of the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 in an amount equal to 25% of the "Excess Cash Amount" as defined in the Steel Note. We made a mandatory partial prepayment in August 2015, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 in the amount of approximately $241,737.


The obligations under the Steel Note are subordinated to our obligations under the Financing Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement and are secured by the Escrow Shares. Upon an event of default under the Steel Note, if the Escrow Shares are released to Mr. Steel and all amounts due under the Steel Note will be deemed paid and the Steel Note will be satisfied in full provided that:


·

all of the Escrow Shares (or at least 90% of the Escrow Shares, in the case of a cut-back required by the SEC as a result of limitations under SEC Rule 415, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement described below) are subject to a then effective SEC registration statement having a customary plan of distribution for resale;

·

the Escrow Shares are freely tradable by Mr. Steel, without restriction of any kind or nature (other than insider trading laws); and

·

the certificates evidencing the Escrow Shares are free of any legend or other restrictive notation.


If these conditions are not each satisfied at the time of release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel, then the principal and interest due under the Steel Note remains outstanding, except that it will be deemed repaid from time to time, dollar for dollar, from the proceeds realized by Mr. Steel from the sale or other disposition of the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Shares are considered issued but not outstanding, and Mr. Steel does not have any voting or other rights as a stockholder to the Escrow Shares during the period they are held in escrow. The Escrow Shares are being held by an escrow agent pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement, dated October 30, 2014, by and among Mr. Steel, Social Reality and Lowenstein Sandler LLP, as escrow agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Subordination Agreement, upon a release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel, Mr. Steel has the right to put the Escrow Shares to us at a per share price of $1.0474.




29



 


On October, 30, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Steel Media, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Mr. Steel pursuant to which we agreed to register any earn out shares issued to him or Escrow Shares released to him. We granted Mr. Steel demand registration rights over the Escrow Shares and the earn out shares which he may exercise 90 days after such shares are issued or released to him. In addition, Mr. Steel has the right to include any earn out shares issued to him or Escrow Shares released to him in registration statements for offerings by us as well as offerings of our Class A common stock held by third parties. The terms of the Registration Rights Agreement contain underwriter and Rule 415 cutback provisions in which the number of either earn out shares or Escrow Shares, or both, that we may include in a subsequent registration statement to be filed with the SEC will be reduced subject to certain allocation provisions as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. We agreed to pay all costs and expenses with such registration statement, other than Mr. Steel's selling expenses. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary indemnification provisions. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Mr. Steel agreed to certain restrictions on the amount of earn out shares that may be sold by him without our consent; provided, however, that these restrictions will automatically terminate upon an event of default under the Steel Note, or our failure to fully pay the earn out consideration if and when due.


Acquisition of Five Delta


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


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


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

Board of Directors


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


Director qualifications


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Board leadership structure and board's role in risk oversight


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


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




33



 


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


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


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


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


·

understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;

·

is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;

·

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

·

understands internal controls over financial reporting; and

·

understands audit committee functions.


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


Code of Ethics and Conduct


We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct which applies to our board of directors, our executive officers and our employees. The Code of Ethics and Conduct outlines the broad principles of ethical business conduct we adopted, covering subject areas such as:


·

conflicts of interest;

·

corporate opportunities;

·

public disclosure reporting;

·

confidentiality;

·

protection of company assets;

·

health and safety;

·

conflicts of interest; and

·

compliance with applicable laws.


A copy of our Code of Ethics and Conduct is available without charge, to any person desiring a copy, by written request to us at our principal offices at 456 Seaton Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013.

·

Inducement/First Year Grant. Upon joining the Board, individual will receive options to purchase 15,000 shares of our Class A common stock which will be granted under one of our equity compensation plans. The options vest immediately upon appointment to the Board;

Exercise Price and Term . All options issued pursuant to the one of our equity compensation plans will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our Class A common stock at close of market on the grant date and the option term will be for a period of five years from the grant date.


In certain instances, however, we may negotiate a different compensation package for an independent director. The following table provides information concerning the compensation paid to our independent directors for their services as members of our board of directors for 2014.

Employment agreements and how the executive's compensation is determined


We are a party to an employment agreement with each of Messrs. Miglino and Steel which provide the compensation arrangements with these individuals. We are not a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Nelson. His base compensation is $114,000 per year and he is entitled to receive a bonus at the discretion of the board of directors. Mr. Nelson's compensation may be changed at the discretion of the board of directors of which he is a member. We have not engaged a compensation consultant or other consultant performing similar functions to advise our company on compensation arrangements for our executive officers and directors. Following is a discussion of the terms of our employment agreements with Messrs. Miglino and Steel.




36



 


Employment Agreement with Mr. Miglino


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


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


·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

any accrued but unused vacation days; and

·

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


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


For the purposes of the employment agreement, "cause" generally means:


·

intentionally committing an unlawful act that materially harms us;

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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


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


·

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

·

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


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




37



 


Employment Agreement with Mr. Steel


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


·

an annual salary of $114,000, subject to increase at the discretion of the board of directors;

·

a guaranteed annual cash bonus of $136,000 payable on January 31 of each year during the initial term of the agreement;

·

an annual discretionary bonus, payable in cash or equity;

·

options to purchase 600,000 shares of our Class A common stock, at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, vesting 50% on the third annual anniversary of the agreement and 50% on the fourth annual anniversary of the agreement; and

·

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


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


Mr. Steel's employment agreement may be terminated, and he is entitled to certain payments upon such termination, as follows:


·

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


·

a reduction in his duties or responsibilities;

·

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

·

a breach by us of a material term of the agreement;

·

the relocation of Mr. Steel's office without his consent by more than 10 miles;

·

any reduction in his base salary without his consent except to the extend the compensation of our chief executive officers is similarly and proportionately reduced; or

·

any failure of the Board to nominate Mr. Steel or his designees for election to the Board at our annual meeting, or the failure of our stockholders to so elect him;


·

Mr. Steel's employment will terminate immediately upon his death or disability and upon such termination we are only obligated to pay him or his eligible dependents the Accrued Obligations and, if he or his eligible dependents elect COBRA coverage, we agreed to waive the cost of such coverage during the severance period. In addition, Mr. Steel (or his estate and heirs) will be permitted to exercise his stock options for up to six months from the date of such termination;

Limitation on liability


Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. Our certificate of incorporation contains a provision which eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of the fiduciary duty of care or any other duty as a director.


In addition to the indemnification provided under our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of Messrs. Steel and Sumichrast as well as Mr. Holsinger, our Chief Revenue Officer and Ms. Carrie McQueen, our former Chief Financial Officer. Under these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify the individual (in excess of statutory indemnification) in connection with the occurrence of an indemnifiable event (as that term is defined in the agreement) against any and all expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigating and defending a proceeding and all other fees, costs and expenses associated therewith. We expect to enter into similar agreements with our remaining directors in the near future.


Insofar as the limitation of, or indemnification for, liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such limitation or indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.


CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


On October 29, 2013 we entered into a consulting agreement with Siskey Capital, LLC pursuant to which we engaged the company to provide certain consulting services to us. As compensation, we issued the consultant 150,000 shares of our Class A common stock and 35,000 shares of our Series 1 Preferred Stock valued at $500,000. Siskey Capital, LLC is an affiliate of Mr. Sumichrast, who subsequently became a member of our board of directors in January 2015.


In conjunction with our acquisition of Steel Media described earlier in this prospectus, Mr. Richard Steel joined our board of directors and was named President of Social Reality. Please see the discussion regarding the terms and conditions of the acquisition as described under "Our Business – Our history – Acquisition of Steel Media" appearing earlier in this prospectus.

Compensation plans


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


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


·

incentive stock options (ISOs);

·

non-qualified options (NSOs);

·

awards of our Class A common stock;



43



 


·

stock appreciation rights (SARs);

·

restricted stock units (RSUs);

·

performance units;

·

performance shares; and

·

other stock-based awards.


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

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES


Our authorized capital is 250,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, 9,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 200,000 shares have been designated as Series 1 Preferred Stock. At August 31, 2015, there were 27,250,229 shares of our Class A common stock, no shares of our Class B common stock and 86,000 shares of our Series 1 Preferred Stock outstanding.


Common stock


Class A common stock


Holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote, and vote together with the holders of our Class B common stock as one class. Holders of common Class A common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares on our common equity from legally available funds. If such dividends are in the form of stock, the Class A common stockholder holders will receive shares of our Class A common stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to the preferences of any shares of our preferred stock which may then be outstanding, each outstanding share of Class A common stock entitles its holder to participate in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over either class of our common stock.


Holders of Class A common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions for the Class A common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock are subject to any rights that may be fixed for holders of preferred stock, when and if any preferred stock is authorized and issued.


Class B common stock


Holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to 10 votes for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote, and vote together with the holders of our Class A common stock as one class. Holders of common Class B common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares on our common equity from legally available funds. If such dividends are in the form of stock, the Class B common stockholder holders will receive shares of our Class B common stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to the preferences of any shares of our preferred stock which may then be outstanding, each outstanding share of Class B common stock entitles its holder to participate in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over either class of our common stock.


Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock upon the following occurrences:


·

at the option of the holder;

·

upon the "transfer" of the share; and

·

upon the death of the stockholder.


Our certificate of incorporation defines "transfer" of the Class B common stock to mean the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation, or other transfer or disposition of the shares, or any legal or beneficial interest in the shares, whether voluntary or involuntary. "Transfer" also is deemed to mean transfer to a broker or other nominee (regardless or not if there is a corresponding change in beneficial ownership), or the transfer of or entering into a binding agreement relating "voting control," by proxy or otherwise. "Voting control" means the power, direct or shared, to control the voting or disposition of the stock. Class B common stockholder are permitted to take certain actions which are not considered a "transfer" of the shares, including:


·

granting a proxy over such shares to an officer or director of our company at the request of our board of directors in connection with any manner to be considered at a meeting of our stockholders;



45



 


·

entering into a voting trust agreement with holders who are also Class B common stockholders providing the agreement does not exceed a term of one year, is terminable at the holder's option at any time, and does not involve the payment of any consideration; and

·

pledging the shares pursuant to a bona fide loan or indebtedness transaction; provided, however , that if the shares are foreclosed upon in connection with this transaction, such foreclosure will be deemed to be a transfer of the shares and subject to automatic conversion as described above.


Class B common stockholders are permitted to transfer the shares to and from "permitted entities, " which are generally considered to be trusts and retirement accounts for the benefit of the Class B stockholder or one over which such holder exercises voting and dispositive control, and controlled corporations. In the event the Class B common stockholder no longer controls these entities, each share automatically converts into one share of Class A common stock. Each share of Class B common stock also automatically converts into one share of Class A common stock upon the death of the holder.


Holders of Class B common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions for the Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class B common stock are subject to any rights that may be fixed for holders of preferred stock, when and if any preferred stock is authorized and issued.


All 9,000,000 shares of Class B common stock were originally held by Mr. Miglino and Ms. DeRuggiero, executive officers and directors who founded our company. In October 2013 they converted their shares of Class B common stock into Class A common stock pursuant to its terms.


Preferred stock


Our board of directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and fix or alter the designations, relative rights, priorities, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series. The rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and other matters. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which ranks senior to our common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. In addition, our board of directors can fix limitations and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on both classes of our common stock to be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding.


On August 16, 2013, the board of directors approved a Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences pursuant to which it designated a series consisting of 200,000 shares of our blank check preferred stock as Series 1 Preferred Stock. The designations, rights and preferences of the Series 1 Preferred Stock are as follows:


·

each share has a stated and liquidation value of $0.001 per share;

·

the shares do not pay any dividends, except as may be declared by our board of directors, and are not redeemable;

·

the shares do not have any voting rights, except as may be provided under Delaware law;

·

each share is convertible into 10 shares of our Class A common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution provisions in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events; and

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS


At August 31, 2015 we had 27,250,229 shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding. This prospectus relates to periodic offers and sales by the selling security holders listed below and their pledgees, donees and other successors in interest of up to 7,687,668 shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants held by the selling security holders. Of these shares of our Class A common stock:


·

2,623,970 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 per share which were included in units sold to investors in our private offering which closed between October 2013 and November 2013;


·

48,933 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 per share which were issued to selling agents in our January 2014 private offering as compensation for their services;


·

2,114,765 shares are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per share which were either included in units sold to investors in our private offering which closed between October 2014 and November 2014 or were issued to a selling agent in that offering as compensation for their services; and


·

2,900,000 shares are issuable upon the exercise of the Financing Warrant.


Under the terms of the warrants, a selling security holder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such selling security holder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of Class A common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of Class A common stock following such exercise. With respect to the warrants included in the units sold in our private offerings which closed in 2013 and 2014, but excluding the Financing Warrant, this limitation may be increased to 9.99% at the holder's option upon 61 days notice to us. The number of shares in the column captioned "No. of shares beneficially owned" does not reflect this limitation.


The following table sets forth:


·

the name of each selling security holder;

·

the number of common shares owned; and

·

the number of Class A common shares being registered for resale by the selling security holder.


The following table sets forth certain information known to us as of the date of this prospectus and as adjusted to reflect the sale of the shares offered hereby with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock by the selling security holders. We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update the disclosure set forth in this prospectus. All of the securities owned by the selling security holders may be offered hereby. Because the selling security holders may sell some or all of the securities owned by them, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of securities that will be held by the selling security holders upon termination of any offering made hereby.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


We are registering the shares of our Class A common stock to permit the resale of these shares of Class A common stock by the selling security holders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling security holders of the shares of our Class A common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of our Class A common stock.


The selling security holders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Class A common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling security holders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The shares of Class A common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected from time to time pursuant to one or more of the following methods, which may involve crosses or block transactions:


·

on any national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

·

in the over-the-counter market;

·

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·

public or privately negotiated transactions;

·

through the settlement of short sales;

·

transactions in which broker-dealers agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.


If the selling security holders effect such transactions by selling shares of Class A common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Class A common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Class A common stock or otherwise, the selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Class A common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling security holders may also sell shares of Class A common stock short and deliver shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions, and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales, provided , that the short sales are made after the registration statement is declared effective. The selling security holders may also loan or pledge shares of Class A common stock to broker-dealers in connection with bona fide margin accounts secured by the shares of Class A common stock, which shares broker-dealers could in turn sell if the selling security holders default in the performance of their respective secured obligations.


The selling security holders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Class A common stock owned by them and, if any of them defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Class A common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling security holders also may transfer and donate the shares of Class A common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. We will file an amendment or supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, amending, if necessary, the list of selling security holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling security holders under this prospectus.

The selling security holders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Class A common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. At the time a particular offering of the shares of Class A common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Class A common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling security holders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters or broker-dealers.


Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Class A common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Class A common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.


There can be no assurance that any selling security holder will sell any or all of the shares of Class A common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.


The selling security holders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Class A common stock by the selling security holders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Class A common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Class A common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Class A common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Class A common stock.


We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Class A common stock including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided , however , that the selling security holders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify certain of the selling security holders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, in accordance with the registration rights agreement, or the selling security holders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by certain of the selling security holders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling security holders specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.


In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of the proceeds from any offering of the shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.


Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Class A common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.


Any shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 may be sold under Rule 144, rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Organization and Basis of Presentation


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


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


·

sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;

·

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

·

sale and licensing of our GroupAd platform and related media; and,

·

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


The five core elements of this business are:


·

Social Reality Ad Exchange or "SRAX" Real Time Bidding sell side and buy side representation is our technology which assists publishers in delivering their media inventory to the real time bidding, or RTB, exchanges.


·

GroupAd is a social media and loyalty platform that allows brands to launch and manage their social media initiatives.


·

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


·

SRAX DI is a team of social media experts that helps brands and agencies create and manage their social media presence.


·

Steel Media provides display, mobile, and email ad inventory to brands and ad agencies. This acquisition has allowed us to begin selling our buy-side RTB services to advertising agencies, and allows us to provide digital media inventory for Steel's campaigns, resulting in increased gross margins for the combined companies.


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

 

We also create applications as custom programs and build them on a campaign-by-campaign basis, and offer them on a managed- or self-service subscription basis through our GroupAd platform. GroupAd allows brand marketers to select from a number of pre-created applications and then deploy them into their social media channels.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

 

These interim financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any future period. All references to June 30, 2015 and 2014 in these footnotes are unaudited.

 

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015.


The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Principles of Consolidation


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


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


Use of Estimates


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


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

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Cash and Cash Equivalents


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


Revenue Recognition


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


Cost of Revenue


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


Accounts Receivable


Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Management periodically assesses the Company's accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral.


Concentration of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Supplier Risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in the United States. The balances in the United States held at any one financial institution are generally in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. The uninsured cash bank balances were approximately $1,016,000 at June 30, 2015. The Company has not experienced any loss on these accounts. The balances are maintained in demand accounts to minimize risk.


At June 30, 2015, one SRAX AD Exchange customer, who collects advertising payments from multiple advertisers, and two additional customers each accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, for a total of 80%. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 two customers accounted for 63% of total revenue. Additionally, 10% of our revenue was collected and paid to us by one of our RTB exchange service providers. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, 75% of our revenue was collected and paid to us by two of our RTB exchange service providers.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at historical cost. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Business Combinations


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


Goodwill


The Company will test for impairment of goodwill annually as of September 30 at the reporting unit level or whenever events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The impairment test is a two-step process, whereby in the first step, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company determines the estimated fair value of each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach, giving consideration to the market valuation approach. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment, if any.


Long-lived Assets


Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time; and changes in the Company's business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.


Earnings (loss) Per Share


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


There were 13,735,471 common share equivalents at June 30, 2015 and 5,972,535 at June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share. The dilutive effect of potential common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2015 totaled 2,609,271 shares.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Income Taxes


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

 

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


Stock-Based Compensation


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


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


Business Segments


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


Recently Issued Accounting Standards


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


NOTE 2 – RECENT ACQUISITIONS


Acquisition of Steel Media


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


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

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)


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


The final accounting for the acquisition of Steel Media has not been completed and will be completed during the third quarter of 2015. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values is as follows:

Acquisition of Five Delta, Inc.


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


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


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


The final accounting for the acquisition of Five Delta has not been completed and will be completed during the third quarter of 2015. The entire purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to intellectual property.

NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE


2014 Transactions:


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


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


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


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

NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)


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

We incurred a total of $3,164,352 of costs related to the Financing Agreement. These costs will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.


During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, $308,434 and $628,370, respectively, was amortized with a remaining balance of $2,279,366 reported as deferred debt issue costs as of June 30, 2015.


Note payable – Richard Steel


As partial consideration for the purchase of Steel Media described in Note 2, we executed a one year secured subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $2.5 million (the "Note") which is secured by 2,386,863 shares of our Class A common stock (the "Escrow Shares").


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

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY


Preferred Stock


We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 of preferred stock, par value $0.001, of which 200,000 shares have been designated as Series 1 Preferred Stock.


Common Stock


We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 259,000,000 shares of common stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will have two classes of common stock: Class A common stock (authorized 250,000,000 shares, par value $0.001), which has one vote per share, and Class B common stock (authorized 9,000,000 shares, par value $0.001), which has ten votes per share. Any holder of Class B common stock may convert his or her shares at any time into shares of Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis. Otherwise the rights of the two classes of common stock are identical.


In January 2015 we sold three-year warrants to purchase 882,001 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 to 20 existing stockholders of our company in a private transaction. We received gross proceeds of $8,820 for which we did not pay any commissions or finder's fees. The investors were accredited investors and the issuances were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of that act.


During the six months ended June 30, 2015 we issued 128,331 shares of Class A common stock for stock awards that have vested.


Stock Awards


During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 we recorded expense of $117,822 and $303,842 related to stock awards granted in prior years.


Stock Options and Warrants


During February 2015 we granted 12,000 common stock options to a director. The options will vest quarterly over one year. The options have an exercise price of $1.20 per share and a term of five years. These options have a grant date fair value of $0.62 per option, determined using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.50%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 99%; and (4) an expected life of the options of 2 years. We have recorded an expense for the director options of $1,867 and $3,111 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 we recorded expense of $68,828 and $139,730, respectively, related to stock options granted in prior years.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Operating Leases


The Company leases executive offices under an operating lease with lease terms which expire through December 31, 2018.


Rent expense for office space amounted to $37,719 and $11,303 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Rent expense amounted to $76,021 and $25,413 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.


Other Commitments


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


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


Employment agreements


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

Litigation


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

 

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On July 6, 2015 we borrowed an additional $1,500,000 pursuant to the financing agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC described in Note 3. The loan funded on July 8, 2015. In connection therewith, we issued a Senior Secured Term Note to the Lender in the principal amount of $1,500,000.  As with the Initial Note, the Senior Secured Term Note bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) cash interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and (2) payment-in-kind (PIK) interest, as may be adjusted from time to time, based on the ratio of our consolidated indebtedness to our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  If we achieve a reduction in the leverage ratio as described in the Financing Agreement, the PIK interest rate declines on a sliding scale from 4% to 2%. The Senior Secured Term Note will mature on October 30, 2017. We are using the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement for working capital.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Social Reality, Inc.

Los Angeles, CA



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


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


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

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Organization and Basis of Presentation


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


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


·

sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;

·

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

·

sale and licensing of our GroupAd platform and related media; and,

·

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


The five core elements of this business are:


·

Social Reality Ad Exchange or "SRAX" Real Time Bidding sell side and buy side representation. Our technology assists publishers in delivering their media inventory to the real time bidding, or RTB, exchanges.


·

GroupAd. GroupAd is a social media and loyalty platform that allows brands to launch and manage their social media initiatives.


·

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


·

SRAX DI is a team of social media experts that helps brands and agencies create and manage their social media presence.


·

Steel Media provides display, mobile, and email ad inventory to both brands and ad agencies. This acquisition has allowed us to begin to sell our buy side RTB services to advertising agencies, and allows us to provide digital media for Steel's campaigns, resulting in increased gross margins for the combined companies.


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


We also create applications as custom programs and build them on a campaign by campaign basis as well as offer them on a managed or self-service subscription basis through our GroupAd platform. GroupAd allows brand marketers to select from a number of pre-created applications and then deploy them into their social media channels.


Social Reality is also an approved and accredited Facebook advertising network company. We sell targeted and measurable online advertising campaigns and programs to brand advertisers and advertising agencies across large Facebook apps and large websites, generating qualified Facebook likes and quantifiable engagement for our clients, driving online sales and increased brand equity.


We are headquartered in Los Angeles, California.

SOCIAL REALITY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 


Principles of Consolidation


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


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


Use of Estimates


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


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


Cash and Cash Equivalents


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


Revenue Recognition


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


Cost of Revenue


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


Accounts Receivable


Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Management periodically assesses the Company's accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral.




F-24



SOCIAL REALITY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 


Concentration of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Supplier Risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in the United States. The balances in the United States held at any one financial institution are generally in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. The uninsured cash bank balances were approximately $1,343,000 at December 31, 2014. The Company has not experienced any loss on these accounts. The balances are maintained in demand accounts to minimize risk.


At December 31, 2014, one SRAX AD Exchange customer, who collects advertising payments from multiple advertisers and one additional customer each accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, for a total of 34%. For the year ended December 31, 2014 no one customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue. However, 38% of our revenue was collected and paid to us by three of our RTB exchange service providers. For the year ended December 31, 2013 87% of our revenue was collected and paid to us by one of our RTB exchange service providers.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at historical cost. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.


Property and equipment


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


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


Business Combinations


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


Goodwill


The Company will test for impairment of goodwill annually as of September 30 at the reporting unit level or whenever events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The impairment test is a two-step process, whereby in the first step, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company determines the estimated fair value of each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach, giving consideration to the market valuation approach. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment, if any.




F-25



SOCIAL REALITY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 


Long-lived Assets


Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time; and changes in the Company's business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.


Loss Per Share


We use ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share" for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. We compute basic loss per share by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same, in that any potential common stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the computation of net loss per share. There were 13,096,470 common share equivalents at December 31, 2014 and 5,296,001 at December 31, 2013. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.


Income Taxes


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

 

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


Stock-Based Compensation


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


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


Business Segments


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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards


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


NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS.


Acquisition of Steel Media


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


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


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


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


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




F-27



SOCIAL REALITY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 


The obligations under the Note are subordinated to the Company's obligations under the Financing Agreement (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement (as hereinafter described) and are secured by the Escrow Shares. Upon an event of default under the Note, if the Escrow Shares are released to Mr. Steel all amounts due under the Note will be deemed paid and the Note will be satisfied in full provided that (i) all of the Escrow Shares (or at least 90% of the Escrow Shares, in the case of a cut-back required by the SEC as a result of limitations under SEC Rule 415, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement described below) are subject to a then effective SEC registration statement having a customary plan of distribution for resale, (ii) the Escrow Shares are freely tradable by Mr. Steel, without restriction of any kind or nature (other than insider trading laws), and (iii) the certificates evidencing the Escrow Shares are free of any legend or other restrictive notation. If these conditions are not each satisfied at the time of release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel, then the principal and interest due under the Note remains outstanding except that it will be deemed repaid from time to time, dollar for dollar, from the proceeds realized by Mr. Steel from the sale or other disposition of the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Shares are considered issued but not outstanding and Mr. Steel does not have any voting or other rights as a stockholder to the Escrow Shares during the period they are held in escrow. The Escrow Shares are being held by an escrow agent pursuant to the terms of that certain Escrow Agreement, dated October 30, 2014, by and among Mr. Steel, the Company and Lowenstein Sandler LLP, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Shares Agreement"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Subordination Agreement, upon a release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel, Mr. Steel has the right to put the Escrow Shares to the Company at a per share price of $1.0474 (the "Put Right").


On October, 30, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Steel Media, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with Mr. Steel pursuant to which the Company agreed to register any Earnout Shares issued to him or Escrow Shares released to him. The Company granted Mr. Steel demand registration rights over the Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares which he may exercise 90 days after such shares are issued or released to him. In addition, Mr. Steel has the right to include any Earnout Shares issued to him or Escrow Shares released to him in registration statements for offerings by the Company as well as offerings of the Company's Class A common stock held by third parties.


The final accounting for the acquisition of Steel Media has not been completed and will be completed during the second quarter of 2015. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values is as follows:

Acquisition of Five Delta, Inc.


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


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


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


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


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


The final accounting for the acquisition of Five Delta has not been completed and will be completed during the second quarter of 2015. The entire purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to intellectual property.

2014 Transactions:


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


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


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

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


As contemplated under the Financing Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement on the Financing Agreement Closing Date (the "Financing Registration Rights Agreement") with the holder of the Financing Warrant, pursuant to which the Company granted to such holder certain "piggyback" rights to register the shares of the Company's Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrant. Specifically, the holder of the Financing Warrant has the right, subject to certain allocation provisions set forth in the Financing Registration Rights Agreement, to include the shares underlying the Financing Warrant in registration statements for offerings by the Company of its Class A common stock, as well as offerings of the Company's Class A common stock held by third parties.


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

Note payable – Richard Steel


As partial consideration for the purchase of Steel Media described in Note 2, we executed a one year secured subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $2.5 million (the "Note") which is secured by 2,386,863 shares of our Class A common stock (the "Escrow Shares").


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


The obligations under the Note are subordinated to the Company's obligations under the Financing Agreement (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement (as hereinafter described) and are secured by the Escrow Shares. Upon an event of default under the Note, if the Escrow Shares are released to Mr. Steel all amounts due under the Note will be deemed paid and the Note will be satisfied in full provided that (i) all of the Escrow Shares (or at least 90% of the Escrow Shares, in the case of a cut-back required by the SEC as a result of limitations under SEC Rule 415, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement described below) are subject to a then effective SEC registration statement having a customary plan of distribution for resale, (ii) the Escrow Shares are freely tradable by Mr. Steel, without restriction of any kind or nature (other than insider trading laws), and (iii) the certificates evidencing the Escrow Shares are free of any legend or other restrictive notation. If these conditions are not each satisfied at the time of release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel, then the principal and interest due under the Note remains outstanding except that it will be deemed repaid from time to time, dollar for dollar, from the proceeds realized by Mr. Steel from the sale or other disposition of the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Shares are considered issued but not outstanding and Mr. Steel does not have any voting or other rights as a stockholder to the Escrow Shares during the period they are held in escrow. The Escrow Shares are being held by an escrow agent pursuant to the terms of that certain Escrow Agreement, dated October 30, 2014, by and among Mr. Steel, the Company and Lowenstein Sandler LLP, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Shares Agreement"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Subordination Agreement, upon a release of the Escrow Shares to Mr. Steel, Mr. Steel has the right to put the Escrow Shares to the Company at a per share price of $1.0474 (the "Put Right").


2013 Transactions:


Credit Facility and Termination Agreement:


During February 2013 we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility agreement (which was amended on June 11, 2013 (the "Credit Agreement") with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (the "Lender" or "TCA"). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender agreed to loan up to $5,000,000 for working capital purposes. A total of $550,000 was funded by Lender in connection with two closings and we received net proceeds of $486,425. October 2013 we paid all amounts due under the credit facility, aggregating $550,000. Following the repayment of the credit facility, in October 2013 we entered into a Termination Agreement with TCA whereby we terminated the Amended Credit Agreement and all of our obligations thereunder. As part of this Termination Agreement, we also redeemed 174,010 Class A common shares issued to TCA pursuant to the credit facility, thereby terminating any obligations under the make whole provisions of the Termination Agreement. We paid TCA $175,000 to redeem the shares.


In total, we incurred costs aggregating $274,737, including the amounts allocated to the 174,010 Class A common shares issued to TCA pursuant to the credit facility. These costs have been fully amortized as interest expense during 2013.

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY


Preferred Stock


We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 of preferred stock, par value $0.001, of which 200,000 shares have been designated as Series 1 Preferred Stock. Our board of directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and fix or alter the designations, relative rights, priorities, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series. The rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and other matters. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which ranks senior to our common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. In addition, our board of directors can fix limitations and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on both classes of our common stock to be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding.


On August 16, 2013 our Board of Directors approved a Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences pursuant to which it designated a series consisting of 200,000 shares of its blank check preferred stock as Series 1 Preferred Stock. The designations, rights and preferences of the Series 1 Preferred Stock are as follows:


 

·

each share has a stated and liquidation value of $0.001 per share,

 

·

the shares do not pay any dividends, except as may be declared by our Board of Directors, and are not redeemable,

 

·

the shares do not have any voting rights, except as may be provided under Delaware law,

 

·

each share is convertible into 10 shares of our Class A common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution provisions in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events, and

 

·

the number of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, as well as the number of shares of Class A common stock issued upon a conversion of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, that a holder may sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (collectively or severally, a "Disposition") at any one time shall be limited to an amount which is pari passu to any Disposition of Class A common stock by either Christopher Miglino and/or Erin DeRuggerio, executive officers and directors of our company. Notwithstanding anything contained in the designations, the holder of Series 1 Preferred Stock is not obligated to make any Dispositions of Series 1 Preferred Stock or Class A common stock issued upon the conversion of Series 1 Preferred Stock.


Common Stock


We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 259,000,000 shares of common stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will have two classes of common stock: Class A common stock (authorized 250,000,000 shares, par value $0.001), which has one vote per share, and Class B common stock (authorized 9,000,000 shares, par value $0.001), which has ten votes per share. Any holder of Class B common stock may convert his or her shares at any time into shares of Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis.

Common Stock


In January 2014 we sold an aggregate of 978,668 shares of our Class A common stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share to 22 accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. We received gross proceeds of $1,468,001. T.R. Winston & Company, LLC acted as placement agent for us in this offering. We paid the placement agent and a selling agent commissions and a non-accountable expense allowance totaling $190,840 and issued these firms three year Series B common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 97,866 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share as additional compensation. We incurred additional expenses of $25,744 for this and have used net proceeds of $1,251,416 for working capital.


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


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


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


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


The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and the placement agent warrants. We anticipate that we will file the registration statements during the second quarter of 2015. We are obligated to pay all costs associated with this registration statement, other than selling expenses of the warrant holders.


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

During October 2013 we issued 150,000 shares of Class A common stock, valued at $150,000, pursuant to a consulting agreement with a two year, eight month term. We will expense the value of the shares over that thirty two month period. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded expense of $9,375.


Between October 8, 2013 and October 30, 2103 we sold an aggregate of 4,587,940 units of our securities to accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. The units were sold at a purchase price of $0.50 per unit resulting in gross proceeds to us of $2,293,970. We also issued 212,060 units to our placement agent as payment of $106,030 of fees and expenses. Each unit consisted of one share of our Class A common stock and one three year Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of our Class A common stock, resulting the issuance of 4,800,000 shares of our Class A common stock and Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase an additional 2,400,000 shares of our Class A common stock. T.R. Winston & Company, LLC, a broker-dealer and member of FINRA, acted as placement agent for us in this offering. In addition to the 212,060 units referenced above, we paid the placement agent and a selling agent commissions and a non-accountable expense allowance totaling $181,976 and issued it three year warrants to purchase 480,000 of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. We used a portion of the net proceeds to satisfy our revolving note due TCA and to redeem the Facility Fee Shares and the Advisory Shares and we are using the balance of the net proceeds for general working capital.


In November 2013 we sold an additional 660,000 units of our securities to accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act which were identical to the units sold in the October 2013 offering. We received gross proceeds of $330,000. We did not pay any commissions or finder's fees in this offering. We are using the proceeds for general working capital.


Stock Awards


During 2013 we granted an aggregate of 625,000 Class A common stock awards. The shares will vest over various periods of up to 2.75 years. Compensation expense will be recognized over the vesting period. During the year ended December 31, 2013 we recorded $177,604 of compensation expense related to these awards.


The fair value of shares that vested during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $269,373.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES


The Company generated operating losses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 which are not benefitted for tax accounting purposes. The Company accounts for its state franchise and minimum taxes as a component of its general and administrative expenses. Accordingly, the Company has recorded no current or deferred income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Company has established a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty that such assets will be realized. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced. The valuation allowance increased $658,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.


At December 31, 2014, the Company has federal and state net operating losses, or NOL, carryforwards of approximately $4.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The federal and state NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2032.



F-39



SOCIAL REALITY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 


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


The Company files income tax returns in the United States, and various state jurisdictions. Due to the Company’s losses incurred, the Company is essentially subject to income tax examination by tax authorities from inception to date. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as tax expense. At December 31, 2014, there are no unrecognized tax benefits, and there are no significant accruals for interest related to unrecognized tax benefits or tax penalties.


NOTE 8- STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS


2012 and 2014 Equity Compensation Plans


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


 

·

incentive stock options (ISOs),

 

·

non-qualified options (NSOs),

 

·

awards of our common stock,

 

·

stock appreciation rights (SARs),

 

·

restricted stock units (RSUs),

 

·

performance units,

 

·

performance shares, and

 

·

other stock-based awards.


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

Other Commitments


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


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


Employment agreements


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


Litigation


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

STEEL MEDIA

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013
(Unaudited)


Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Steel Media (the "Company"), a California S corporation headquartered in New York, New York, provides Online Display, Mobile, Online Video and Email ad inventory to both brands and ad agencies. Clients can orchestrate targeted and integrated digital campaigns. The Company also offers a database marketing capability that provides clients the ability to target certain populations via email. The Company works to optimize online display and video campaigns, providing brands and ad agencies the power to deploy, manage, and measure all digital advertising campaigns in one place.


Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

 

These interim financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or for any future period. All references to September 30, 2014 and 2013 in these footnotes are unaudited.

 

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Social Reality, Inc. current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on January 13, 2015, which includes these interim financial statements.


Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue by providing online display, mobile, online video and email advertising to advertising agencies and to brands directly. Clients contract with the Company by way of an Insertion Order ("I.O.") which stipulates the type of advertising, quantity, flight dates, and ad sizes. Once an I.O. is signed by the client, the Company then secures the advertising space and prepares the ads (also called "tags"). Next, the Company works with third party ad servers and reporting platforms to set up reporting and billing information, test creative tags, launch the campaign and monitor campaign delivery and performance.

STEEL MEDIA

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013
(Unaudited)


Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (Continued)


The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met:


·

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists

·

Delivery or performance has occurred

·

The fee is fixed or determinable; and

·

Collectability is reasonably assured


Revenue is generated under sales agreements with multiple elements in conjunction with the following platforms: 1) Online Display, 2) Email, 3) Video, and 4) Mobile. The Company also offers creative services to assist customers in building and managing apps and websites. The Company evaluates each element in a multiple-element arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. An element constitutes a separate unit of accounting when the delivered items have standalone value and delivery of the undelivered element is probable and within the Company's control. The Company has determined that services do not have standalone value and are, therefore, treated as one unit of accounting. The Company recognizes revenues over the campaign period.


Gross versus net revenue recognition In the normal course of business, the Company acts as or uses an intermediary or agent in executing transactions with third parties. The determination of whether revenue should be reported gross or net is based on an assessment of whether the Company is acting as the principal or an agent in the transaction. If the Company is acting as a principal in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a gross basis. If the Company is acting as an agent in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a net basis. In determining whether the Company acts as the principal or an agent, the Company follows the accounting guidance for principal-agent considerations and the Company places the most weight on whether or not the Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement.


The Company is considered the primary obligor to its clients. It separately negotiates each sales or unit pricing contract, assumes the credit risk for amounts invoiced to its customers, and has discretion in the advertiser selection. Therefore, it recognizes revenue on a gross basis.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

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


Note 2 – Restatement


As described in Note 3, on October 30, 2014, Social Reality, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Social Reality"), acquired 100% of the capital stock of Steel Media from Mr. Richard Steel. On February 18, 2015 the Board of Directors of Social Reality determined that the unaudited balance sheet at September 30, 2014 and the unaudited condensed statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (collectively, the " Steel Unaudited Financials ") should no longer be relied upon.  The Steel Unaudited Financials were filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by Social Reality on January 13, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission following its acquisition of Steel Media on October 30, 2014.


In reviewing the accounting practices of Steel Media subsequent to the closing of the acquisition Social Reality determined that the Steel Unaudited Financials contain errors related to the accounting for commissions paid to Steel Media employees, which resulted in liabilities and related compensation expense being overstated or understated for the above referenced periods, along with other adjustments.


Accordingly, the balance sheet at September 30, 2014 and the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2014 have been restated to correct the accounting errors related to the commission accrual and other adjustments.

Note 2 – Restatement (Continued)


The effect of correcting these accounting errors on the balance sheet at September 30, 2014 and the statement of operations for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2014 are shown in the table below.  The effect on the statement of stockholders’ equity for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2014 is reflected in the changes to net income (loss).  These errors had no net effect on the statement of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder

Steel Media

New York, NY

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Steel Media (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of 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 have conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial position of Steel Media as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

STEEL MEDIA

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012


1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization and description of the business


Steel Media (the "Company"), a California S corporation headquartered in New York, New York, provides Online Display, Mobile, Online Video and Email ad inventory to both brands and ad agencies. Clients can orchestrate targeted and integrated digital campaigns. The Company also offers a database marketing capability that provides clients the ability to target certain populations via email. The Company works to optimize online display and video campaigns, providing brands and ad agencies the power to deploy, manage, and measure all digital advertising campaigns in one place.


Use of estimates


The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and cash equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original or remaining maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.


Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience and probability of collection, which is reviewed on a monthly basis.


Property and equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically three years. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred. Gains and losses realized on the disposal or retirement of property and equipment are recognized or charged to other income (expense).


Revenue recognition


The Company recognizes revenue by providing online display, mobile, online video and email advertising to advertising agencies and to brands directly. Clients contract with the Company by way of an Insertion Order ("I.O.") which stipulates the type of advertising, quantity, flight dates, and ad sizes. Once an I.O. is signed by the client, the Company then secures the advertising space and prepares the ads (also called "tags"). Next, the Company works with third party ad servers and reporting platforms to set up reporting and billing information, test creative tags, launch the campaign and monitor campaign delivery and performance.


The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met:


·

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists

·

Delivery or performance has occurred

·

The fee is fixed or determinable; and

·

Collectability is reasonably assured

1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Revenue is generated under sales agreements with multiple elements in conjunction with the following platforms: 1) Online Display, 2) Email, 3) Video, and 4) Mobile. The Company also offers creative services to assist customers in building and managing apps and websites. The Company evaluates each element in a multiple-element arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. An element constitutes a separate unit of accounting when the delivered items have standalone value and delivery of the undelivered element is probable and within the Company's control. The Company has determined that services do not have standalone value and are, therefore, treated as one unit of accounting. The Company recognizes revenues over the campaign period.


Gross versus net revenue recognition


In the normal course of business, the Company acts as or uses an intermediary or agent in executing transactions with third parties. The determination of whether revenue should be reported gross or net is based on an assessment of whether the Company is acting as the principal or an agent in the transaction. If the Company is acting as a principal in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a gross basis. If the Company is acting as an agent in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a net basis. In determining whether the Company acts as the principal or an agent, the Company follows the accounting guidance for principal-agent considerations and the Company places the most weight on whether or not the Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement.


The Company is considered the primary obligor to its clients. It separately negotiates each sales or unit pricing contract, assumes the credit risk for amounts invoiced to its customers, and has discretion in the advertiser selection. Therefore, it recognizes revenue on a gross basis.


Deferred revenue


Deferred revenue arises when customers pay for services in advance of revenue recognition. The Company's deferred revenue generally results from services not yet rendered.


Software development costs


The Company has not capitalized any software development costs to date as the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of the related products has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have not been material. All software development costs are recognized as a component of operating expenses.


Research and development


Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred.


Income taxes


The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include a provision for federal income taxes. Instead, the earnings and losses are included in the stockholder's personal income tax returns and are taxed based on the stockholder's personal tax situation. The Company is, however, subject to certain minimum state franchise tax fees and a minimum California state franchise tax of $800.

Concentration of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Supplier Risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in the United States. The balances in the United States held at any one financial institution are generally in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. The uninsured cash bank balances were approximately $465,000 and $410,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company has not experienced any loss on these accounts. The balances are maintained in demand accounts to minimize risk.


At December 31, 2013, three customers each accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, for a total of 59%. For the year ended December 31, 2013 one customer accounted for 28% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2012, two customers accounted for 29% of total revenue.


2.  Restatement


As described in Note 7, on October 30, 2014, Social Reality, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Social Reality"), acquired 100% of the capital stock of Steel Media from Mr. Richard Steel. On February 18, 2015 the Board of Directors of Social Reality determined that the balance sheets of Steel Media at December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (collectively, the "Steel Audited Financials") should no longer be relied upon.  The Steel Audited Financials and the Steel Unaudited Financials were filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by Social Reality with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2015 following its acquisition of Steel Media on October 30, 2014.


In reviewing the accounting practices of Steel Media subsequent to the closing of the acquisition Social Reality determined that the Steel Audited Financials contained errors related to the accounting for commissions paid to Steel Media employees, which resulted in liabilities and related compensation expense being understated or overstated for the above referenced periods, along with other adjustments.


Accordingly, the balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2013 and the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 have been restated to correct the accounting errors related to the commission accrual and other adjustments.

 

The effect of correcting these accounting errors on the balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2013 and the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 are shown in the table below.  The effect on the statement of stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 is reflected in the changes to the balance sheet at December 31, 2012 and 2013.  These errors had no net effect on the statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.

SOCIAL REALITY, INC.


NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.


The unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared in order to present consolidated financial position and results of operations of Social Reality, Inc. and Steel Media as if the acquisition had occurred as of September 30, 2014 for the pro forma consolidated balance sheet and to give effect to the acquisition as if the transaction had taken place at January 1, 2013 for the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.


The acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values. The fair value measurements utilize estimates based on key assumptions of the acquisition, and historical and current market data. The excess of the purchase price over the total of estimated fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. In order to ultimately determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Steel Media, we may engage a third party independent valuation specialist; however as of the date of this report, the valuation has not been undertaken. During the measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or to conclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or there could be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The Company expects the purchase price allocations for the acquisition of Steel Media to be completed by September 30, 2015.


The pro forma adjustments do not reflect the amortization of intangible assets acquired, if any, in the acquisition.

ITEM 14.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. Our Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision which eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of the fiduciary duty of care or any other duty as a director.


We have also entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to Social Reality, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.  We maintain director and officer liability insurance providing insurance protection for specified liabilities under specified term.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 17.   UNDERTAKINGS.

 

a.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


 

1.

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


 

i.

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;


 

ii.

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and


 

iii.

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.


 

2.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


 

3.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


 

4.

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:


 

ii.

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE:

Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the " Registration Statement ") of Social Reality, Inc. (the " Company ")


Ladies and Gentlemen:


We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the Registration Statement to be filed on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC ) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ) relating to the registration for public resale of an aggregate of 7,687,668 shares (the " Registerable Shares ") of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share, issuable upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants as described in the Registration Statements (the " Warrants ").  This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.


We have examined the originals or certified copies of such corporate records of the Company and other certificates and documents of officials of the Company, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter.  We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed, certified or reproduced copies.  We have also assumed that (i) each Warrant setting forth the terms of the right to acquire the Registerable Shares has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, and (ii) at the time of each issuance of Registerable Shares, there will be sufficient shares of the Company's Class A common stock authorized for issuance under the Company’s certificate of incorporation that have not otherwise been issued or reserved or committed for issuance.  As to various questions of fact relevant to this letter, we have relied, without independent investigation, upon certificates of public officials and certificates of officers of the Company, all of which we assume to be true, correct and complete.


Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Registerable Shares, when issued in accordance with their terms and, upon receipt by the Company of the agreed upon consideration therefor, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than the Delaware General Corporation Law (including the statutory provisions and all applicable judicial decisions interpreting those laws).


This opinion letter is limited to the matters expressly stated herein and no opinion is to be inferred or implied beyond the opinion expressly set forth herein.  We undertake no, and hereby disclaim any, obligation to make any inquiry after the date hereof or to advise you of any changes in any matters set forth herein, whether based upon a change in the law, a change in any fact relating to the Company or any other person or any other circumstance.  


We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion in the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.


 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

/s/ PEARLMAN SCHNEIDER LLP
