Forwardlooking statements are not guarantees of performance. Such statements are based on managements expectations and are subject to certain factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, outcome of events, timing and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. For a summary of such factors, please refer to the section entitled Risk Factors in this prospectus, as updated and supplemented by the discussion of risks and uncertainties in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or our current reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto, as filed with the SEC and which are incorporated herein by reference.

Investing in our Class A common stock or our Preferred Tracking Stock offered pursuant to this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this prospectus before purchasing our securities. If any of the following events were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose some or all of your investment
We have a history of losses and there are no assurances we will report profitable operations in the foreseeable future.
We reported net losses of $6,658,882 and $4,248,233 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At December 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,148,706. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we reported net income of $12,717,573. As of September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,431,134. Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to grow our revenues, contain our operating expenses and generate profits. We do not have any long-term agreements with our customers. There are no assurances that we will be able to increase our revenues and cash flow to a level which supports profitable operations. In addition, our operating expenses increased 3.2% in 2017 from 2016. As described elsewhere herein, in 2017 we made certain changes in our operations to limit growth of operating expenses and focus our resources in areas of our operations which we believe have the greatest potential to increase our revenues. We additionally sold the SRAXmd product line in August 2018, which accounted for a substantial portion of our revenue. 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 and pay our obligations as they become due. If we are able to significantly increase our revenues in future periods, the rapid growth which we are pursuing will strain our organization and we may encounter difficulties in maintaining the quality of our operations. If we are not able to grow successfully, it is unlikely we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to pay our operating expenses and service our debt obligations, or report profitable operations in future periods.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
At December 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,148,706 and at September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,431,134. Primarily as a result of our recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows and our accumulated deficit, our independent registered public accounting firm has included in its report for the year ended December 31, 2017, an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other factors, our ability to obtain sufficient financing to support our operations.
Our operations rely on various third party vendors and if we lose these vendors it may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
We rely on third party vendors to provide us with media inventory to facilitate sales of advertising, the majority of which are engaged on a per order basis. Any loss of these vendors or ligation arising out of our failure to satisfy our obligations to any of these vendors could disrupt our business and have a material negative effect on our operations.
Our success is dependent upon our ability to effectively expand and manage our relationships with our publishers. We do not have any long-term contracts with our publishing partners.
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. We are not a party to any long-term agreements with any of our publishing partners and there are no assurances we will have continued access to the media. Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to expand and maintain our publisher relationships within our network and to have access to new sources of media inventory such as new partner websites and Facebook pages that offer attractive demographics, innovative and quality content and growing Web user traffic volume. Our ability to attract new publishers to our networks and to retain Web publishers currently in our networks will depend on various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to introduce new and innovative products and services, our pricing policies, and the cost-efficiency to Web publishers of outsourcing their advertising sales. In addition, the number of competing intermediaries that purchase media inventory from Web publishers continues to increase. In the event we are not able to maintain effective relationships with our publishers, our ability to distribute our advertising campaigns will be greatly hindered which will reduce the value of our services and adversely impact our results of operations in future periods.

If we were to lose access to the Facebook platform, our SRAX Social growth would be limited and we could lose our existing revenue from these sources.
Facebook currently provides access to companies to build applications on their platform. We have built our SRAX Social platform to use the Facebook application programming interface, or APIs. The loss of access to the Facebook platform would limit our ability to effectively grow a portion of our operations. We are subject to Facebook's standard terms and conditions for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of applications on the Facebook platform. Facebook reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. Our business would be harmed if Facebook:
|
· |
discontinues or limits access to its platform by us and other application developers; |
|
|
|
|
· |
modifies its terms of service or other policies, including fees charged to, or other restrictions on, us or other application developers, or changes how the personal information of its users is made available to application developers on the Facebook platform or shared by users; |
|
|
|
|
· |
establishes more favorable relationships with one or more of our competitors; or |
|
|
|
|
· |
develops its own competitive offerings. |
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, 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, however, 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 depend on the services of our executive officers and the loss of any of their services could harm our ability to operate our business in future periods
Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers, including Christopher Miglino and Kristoffer Nelson. We are a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Miglino and an "at will" agreement with Mr. Nelson. Although we do not expect to lose their services in the foreseeable future, the loss of any of them could materially harm our business and operations in future periods until such time as we were able to engage a suitable replacement.
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 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;
9
·
the quality or placement of transactions, including the risk of non-screened, non-human inventory and traffic, could cause a loss in customers or revenue; and
·
regulatory actions may negatively impact our business practices.
If the number of companies who purchase online advertising and promotional services from us does not grow, we may experience difficulty in attracting publishers, and our revenue could decline.
Additional acquisitions may disrupt our business and adversely affect results of operations.
We may pursue acquisitions in an effort to increase revenue, expand our market position, add to our technological capabilities, or for other purposes. However, any future acquisitions would likely involve risk, including the following:
·
the identification, acquisition and integration of acquired businesses requires substantial attention from management. The diversion of management's attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could hurt our business;
·
the anticipated benefits from an acquisition may not be achieved, we may be unable to realize expected synergies from an acquisition or we may experience negative culture effects arising from the integration of new personnel;
·
difficulties in integrating the technologies, solutions, operations, and existing contracts of the acquired business;
·
we may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired company, technology, or solution;
·
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.
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. Our actual results may not always be in line with or exceed the guidance we have provided.
Risks Related to the Ownership of our BIGToken Preferred Tracking Stock
Your ownership of the BIGToken Preferred Tracking Stock will subject you to the risks associated with an investment in Social Reality as a whole.
Holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock will be subject to risks associated with an investment in Social Reality whole, even if a holder only owns the Preferred Tracking Stock, and not any Common Stock of Social Reality. Except as expressly stated in the Description of Securities section of this Prospectus, holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock will not have any legal rights related to specific assets attributed to BIGToken Group. Rather, Social Reality will retain and any future stockholders of the BIGToken subsidiary will retain legal title to all of its assets, and, in any liquidation, holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock will, together with holders of our Common Stock, be entitled to each receive certain percentages of our available net assets available for distribution to stockholders after we satisfy our creditors and other obligations. See "Description of Securities" for a further discussion of the liquidation rights.
10
The shares of Preferred Tracking Stock may be redeemed, converted, or exchanged by the Company without your consent, which may diminish your ability to dispose of your shares when you determine is most advantageous.
Once you have received shares of Preferred Tracking Stock, the Company, upon meeting certain conditions and events, may (i) declare dividends, (ii) force a redemption for cash or securities, or (iii) convert your shares into Common Stock of the Company. As such, you may not be able to dispose of your shares of Preferred Tracking Stock at a time that you determine to be most advantageous to you financially. A further discussion of these features is contained in the Description of Securities section of this Prospectus.
If you decide to redeem your shares of Preferred Tracking Stock, you will be required to do so during certain predetermined times contained in the terms of the Preferred Tracking Stock.
Upon a voluntary redemption of the Preferred Tracking Stock by a holder, you will be required to provide certain notices and will only receive your monetary payments on certain dates as described in the Companys Tracking Stock Policy. Accordingly, you may not be able to access your capital for numerous weeks or months, pursuant to compliance with the applicable notice and voluntary redemption requirements contained in the Tracking Stock Policy.
The Preferred Tracking Stocks value is determined and dependent on the revenue and success of the BIGToken Application, which may never be completed, successful, or profitable.
The BIGToken Application is currently in open beta and as such has never generated any revenue. The value of the Preferred Tracking Stock is dependent on the BIGToken Application achieving profitability, or your ownership of any Preferred Tracking Stock may not have any value at all. There can be no assurances that the BIGToken Application will ever be completed, will ever derive revenue, or will ever achieve profitability. Furthermore, even if the BIGToken Application becomes profitable, it may be discontinued by the board of directors of BIGToken at any time without your input.
Any awards of Preferred Tracking Stock received may have adverse tax consequences to you.
You will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the value of your awards of Preferred Tracking Stock upon redemption of points earned in the BIGToken Application. Your participation in the BIGToken Application may also increase the complexity of your tax filings and may cause you to be ineligible to file Internal Revenue Service Form 1040-EZ, if you would otherwise be eligible to file such form. See Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations, contained in this Prospectus for more information on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the BIGToken Application.
There is no public market for the Companys Preferred Tracking Stock and no assurance can be given that one will ever develop.
The Preferred Tracking Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the OTC Bulletin Board. Without a market for the Preferred Tracking Stock, there is only a limited ability of a security holder to sell their securities, if any, as those transfers or sales would be made privately. Therefore, unless redeemed, converted, or exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Tracking Stock, your ownership of the Preferred Tracking Stock should be considered as totally illiquid, and investors are cautioned that they may not be able to liquidate their investment readily, or at all, when the need or desire to sell arises. Moreover, no assurances can be given that a public market for the Preferred Tracking Stock will ever materialize. Additionally, even if a public market for the Preferred Tracking Stock develops and become traded, the trading volume may be limited, making it difficult to sell such shares.
The Preferred Tracking Stock has no voting rights and Social Reality, Inc., as a holder of all of the outstanding common stock of BIGToken, Inc., will have control over key decision making as a result of their control over a majority of our voting stock.
The Preferred Tracking Stock will not have any voting rights and thus the holders will not have any say in the decision making of BIGToken, Inc. and its assets, including the BIGToken Application. As of the date hereof, 100% of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of BIGToken, Inc. is owned by the Company and thus, until additional shares of voting stock are issued, the Company will have voting control.
11
Our board of directors has the ability to change our Tracking Stock Policy as well as the rules, regulations and suitability requirements of the BIGToken Application at any time without a vote of our stockholders, and to issue additional shares of preferred stock that may have rights, preferences and privileges superior to the Preferred Tracking Stock, which may adversely affect the market value of the Preferred Tracking Stock.
We are authorized under our Certificate of Incorporation to issue up to 30,000,000 additional shares of preferred stock in addition to the outstanding shares of Preferred Tracking Stock being offered in this prospectus. These blank check preferred shares, give our Board of Directors the ability, without shareholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock having rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions that may be superior to the Preferred Tracking Stock and may adversely affect the market value of the Preferred Tracking Stock.
Additionally, the Board of Directors has the sole authority to modify, amend, or terminate the Tracking Stock Policy and the eligibility and suitability requirements of the BIGToken Application. Any changes thereto may be made without your consent and may adversely affect the market value of the Preferred Tracking Stock.
There is no public market for the Preferred Tracking Stock no assurances can be given that one will ever develop.
Ownership of our Preferred Tracking should be considered as totally illiquid, and investors are cautioned that they may not be able to liquidate their investment readily or at all when the need or desire to sell arises. Moreover, no assurances can be given that a public market for the Preferred Tracking Stock will ever materialize. Additionally, even if a public market develops and our Preferred Tracking Stock become listed, the trading volume may be limited, making it difficult for an investor to sell shares.
The market price of the Preferred Tracking Stock may not reflect the performance of BIGToken as we intend.
The market price of the Preferred Tracking Stock may not reflect the performance of the BIGToken Group. Holders of Preferred Tracking Stock are stockholders of Social Reality as a whole and, as such, are subject to all risks associated with an investment in Social Reality and all of its businesses, assets, and liabilities. As a result of the characteristics of tracking stocks, tracking stocks often trade at a discount to the estimated value of the assets or businesses they are intended to track.
The market price of the Preferred Tracking Stock may be volatile, could fluctuate substantially, and could be affected by factors that do not affect traditional capital stock.
The market price of the Preferred Tracking Stock may be materially affected by, among other factors:
·
Actual or anticipated fluctuations in the BIGToken Group ’ s operating results;
·
Issuances of additional securities in BIGToken, Inc. or additional issuances classes of preferred stock in Social Reality that relate to the performance of BIGToken;
·
Changes in market valuations of other companies in similar types of businesses;
·
The complex nature and potential difficulties investors may have in understanding the terms of the Preferred Tracking Stock and the blockchain technology utilized in the BIGToken Application, as well as concerns regarding the possible effect of those terms on an investment in Social Realitys stock; and
·
General market conditions.
The market price of Preferred Tracking Stock may fluctuate significantly as a result of these and other factors. The market price of the Preferred Tracking Stock may decline from time to time and you may not be able to sell your shares of Preferred Tracking Stock at an attractive price or at all.
We may not pay dividends equally or at all on the Preferred Tracking Stock.
Social Reality does not presently intend to pay cash dividends on the Preferred Tracking Stock. Social Reality has the right to pay dividends to its shares of Common Stock and Preferred Tracking Stock in equal or unequal amounts, and Social Reality may pay dividends on the shares of common stock and not pay dividends on shares of Preferred Tracking Stock. In addition, any dividends or distributions on, or repurchases of, shares of Common Stock only, will reduce Social Reality' assets legally available to be paid as dividends on the shares relating to the Preferred Tracking Stock.
While no cash dividends have ever been paid by Social Reality, to the extent that Social Reality determines in the future to pay dividends on the Preferred Tracking Stock, the terms of certain agreements or governing may impose requirements that may restrict Social Reality's ability to pay dividends to holders of its Common Stock or Preferred Tracking Stock.
12
The creation of the Preferred Tracking Stock could create conflicts of interest, and the Social Reality board of directors might make decisions that could adversely affect only the Preferred Tracking Stock holders.
The Preferred Tracking capital structure could give rise to circumstances in which the interests of holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock might diverge or appear to diverge from the interests of holders of Common Stock or another group or series of stock. In addition, given the nature of their businesses, there may be inherent conflicts of interests between BIGToken and Social Reality. While BIGToken is a separate entity, currently one hundred percent (100%) of its common stock is owned by Social Reality and as such it has unilateral control over BIGToken. As a result, Social Realitys officers and directors owe fiduciary duties to Social Reality as a whole and all of their stockholders as opposed to only holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock. Decisions deemed to be in the best interest of Social Reality and all of its stockholders may not be in the best interest of the Preferred Tracking Stock when considered independently, such as:
·
decisions as to the terms of any business relationships that may be created between the BIGToken Group and Social Reality, or the terms of any reallocations of assets between the groups;
·
decisions as to the allocation of corporate opportunities between the BIGToken and Social Reality, especially where the opportunities might meet the strategic business objectives of both;
·
decisions as to operational and financial matters that could be considered detrimental to either Social Reality or BIGToken, but beneficial to the other;
·
decisions as to the conversion, redemption, dividends of, or other transactions related to the Preferred Tracking Stock as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Tracking Stock, which, subject to certain requirements thereunder, Social Realitys Board of Directors may make in its sole discretion;
·
Decisions regarding the increase or decrease of measurable values contained in the terms of the Tracking Stock Policy, such as the Allocation Percentage (as defined below) of proceeds generated by the BIGToken Application;
·
Decisions regarding internal or external financing attributable to businesses or assets attributed to either BIGToken or Social Reality; and
·
Decisions as to the dispositions of certain assets of Social Reality or BIGToken
The board of directors of Social Reality may change the tracking stock policy without the approval of the holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock.
The Board of Directors have adopted the Preferred Tracking Stock Policy described in this prospectus to serve as guidelines in making decisions regarding matters such as tax liabilities and benefits, allocation and reallocation of assets, financing alternatives, corporate opportunities, payment of dividends, and similar items. These policies also set forth the initial allocation of BIGToken Group business, assets, and liabilities. These policies are not included in the Social Reality certificate of incorporation and Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Tracking Stock. The Board of Directors may change or make exceptions to these policies without the approval of the holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock because these policies relate to matters concerning the day-to-day management of BIGToken, and the BIGToken Applications, no stockholder approval is required, and you will have no say regarding these policies.
13
Holders of shares of the Preferred Tracking Stock may not have any remedies if any action by Social Realitys directors or officers has an adverse effect on the Preferred Tracking stock.
Principles of Delaware law and the provisions of the Companys certificate of incorporation may protect decisions of the Board of Directors that have a disparate impact upon holders of the shares of Preferred Tracking Stock. Under Delaware law, the Board of Directors has a duty to act with due care and in the best interests of all stockholders. Principles of Delaware law established in cases involving differing treatment of multiple classes or series of stock provide that, subject to any applicable provisions of the corporation's certificate of incorporation, a board of directors owes an equal duty to all stockholders and does not have separate or additional duties to holders of any class or series of stock. Judicial opinions in Delaware involving tracking stocks have established that decisions by directors or officers involving differing treatment of holders of tracking stocks may be judged under the business judgment rule. In some circumstances, Social Realitys directors or officers may be required to make a decision that is viewed as adverse to the holders of shares relating to a particular group. Under the principles of Delaware law and the business judgment rule referred to above, Preferred Tracking Stock holders may not be able to successfully challenge decisions they believe have a disparate impact upon them if a majority of the Board of Directors is disinterested and independent with respect to the action taken, is adequately informed with respect to the action taken, and acts in good faith and in the honest belief that the Board of Directors is acting in the best interests of Social Reality and all of Social Reality's stockholders.
Social Reality and may dispose of assets of the Preferred Tracking Stock without the approval of holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock.
Delaware law requires stockholder approval only for a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of BIGToken. Currently, Social Reality owns 100% of the voting capital stock of BIGToken, and as such, Social Reality may approve sales and other dispositions of any amount of the assets of BIGToken without approval of the holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock. Notwithstanding, upon the sale of substantially all of the assets of BIGToken, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Tracking Stock, the Board of Directors would be required to choose one or more of the following three alternatives:
·
declare and pay a dividend on the Preferred Tracking Stock;
·
redeem shares of Preferred Tracking Stock in exchange for cash, securities, or other property; or
·
so long as the Common Stock of Social Reality is then traded on a U.S. securities exchange, convert all or a portion of the outstanding Preferred Tracking Stock into Common Stock.
In this type of a transaction, holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock may receive less value than the value that a third-party buyer might pay for all or substantially all of the assets of the Preferred Tracking Stock. The Board of Directors will decide, in its sole discretion, how to proceed and is not required to select the option that would result in the highest value to holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock.
In the event of a liquidation of Social Reality, holders of Preferred Tracking Stock will not have a priority with respect to the assets attributed to the BIGToken Group remaining for distribution to stockholders.
Under the Social Reality certificate of incorporation, upon Social Realitys liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock will be entitled to receive, in respect of their shares of such stock, an interest based on the then outstanding Allocation Percentage (as defined below) of the Preferred Tracking Stock as modified from time to time by the Board of Directors.
The Social Reality Board of Directors in its sole discretion may elect to convert the Preferred Tracking Stock into Class A Common Stock of Social Reality, thereby changing the nature of the security.
The Social Reality certificate of incorporation permits the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to convert all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Tracking Stock into Common Stock at such time as the Common Stock is already traded on a U.S. securities exchange and the shares are converted at a ratio that provides the holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock with the applicable conversion amount as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Tracking Stock and as more fully described in the Description of Securities section herein. A conversion would preclude the holders of Preferred Tracking Stock from retaining their ownership in a security that is intended to reflect separately the performance of the BIGToken Group. Social Reality cannot predict the impact on the market value of the Preferred Tracking Stock pursuant to the right of Board of Directors to effect any such conversion or the exercise of this conversion right by Social Reality.
14
If Social Reality exercises its option to convert all outstanding shares of Preferred Tracking Stock into shares of Common Stock, such conversion would effectively eliminate Social Reality's tracking stock structure because, upon conversion, the holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock would hold only Common Stock, which does not track the performance of any distinct program, application, business unit, or product line. Upon any such conversion, for example, holders would no longer have certain redemption or conversion provisions related to the Preferred Tracking Stock. In addition, there would no longer be a tracking stock policy.
Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
We do not know whether an active, liquid and orderly trading market will develop for our offered securities or what the market price of our offered securities will be and as a result it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of our Class A common stock.
Prior to October 13, 2016 our Class A common stock was quoted on the OTCQB Tier of the OTC Markets and it was thinly traded. On October 13, 2016, our Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market and since that date a trading marketing in our stock has been developing. While an active trading market in our Class A common stock has developed since that time, it may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our Class A common stock and may impair our ability to enter into collaborations or acquire companies or products by using our shares of Class A common stock as consideration. The market price of our offered securities may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The trading price of the shares of our Class A common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the factors discussed in this Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus, these factors include:
|
· |
the success of competitive products; |
|
|
|
|
· |
actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
· |
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments; |
|
|
|
|
· |
regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries; |
|
|
|
|
· |
the recruitment or departure of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
· |
the level of expenses; |
|
|
|
|
· |
actual or anticipated changes in estimates to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts; |
|
|
|
|
· |
variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us; |
|
|
|
|
· |
fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us; |
|
|
|
|
· |
inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares; |
|
|
|
|
· |
announcement or expectation of additional financing efforts; |
|
|
|
|
· |
sales of our Class A common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders; |
|
|
|
|
· |
additional issuances of securities upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants; |
|
|
|
|
· |
market conditions in the technology sectors; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
general economic, industry and market conditions. |
15
In addition, the stock market in general, and advertising technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The realization of any of these risks could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of the shares of our Class A common stock.
We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.
The market price of the shares of our Class A common stock may be volatile, and in the past companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our managements attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business. To the extent that any claims or suits are brought against us and successfully concluded, we could be materially adversely affected, jeopardizing our ability to operate successfully. Furthermore, our human and capital resources could be adversely affected by the need to defend any such actions, even if we are ultimately successful in our defense.
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. Our actual results may not always be in line with or exceed the guidance we have provided. For example, we did not meet our 2016 or 2017 revenue guidance. 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, 2017, our management has determined that, as of December 31, 2016, 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. As of December 31, 2017, management has determined that we have yet to fully remediate the previously identified material weaknesses. While we have never been required to restate our consolidated financial statements, the existence of the continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting increases the risk that a future restatement of our consolidated financial statements 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.
16
The two class structure of our Class A 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.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the trading price of our Class A common stock and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our shares of our Class A common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. A small number of securities and industry analysts currently publish research regarding our Company on a limited basis. In the event that one or more of the securities or industry analysts who have initiated coverage downgrade our securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our shares of Class A common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our securities could decrease, which might cause the trading price of our shares of Class A common stock and trading volume to decline.
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.
Risks Related to the BIG Platform and BIGToken Project
There can be no assurance that the Preferred Tracking Stocks will ever be issued.
There can be no assurance that the BIGToken Application will be completed and that users will be able to actually earn Preferred Tracking Stock. Should the Company fail to issue the Preferred Tracking Stock or complete the BIGToken Application, BIGToken as a whole may be materially affected and we will not recognize the benefits of the project.
The BIGToken Application is designed to distribute points redeemable for our Preferred Tracking Stock to consumers in exchange for their agreement to provide certain personal information to us. Providing this data exposes us to risks of privacy data breach and cybersecurity attacks.
We utilize a substantial amount of electronic information. This includes transaction information and sensitive personal information of the users of the BIGToken Application. The service providers used by us, may also use, store, and transmit such information. We intend to implement detailed cybersecurity policies and procedures and an incident response plan designed to protect such information and prevent data loss and security breaches.

There can be no assurances that the BIGToken Application, or a users data will be fully secure, which may result in impermissible transfer, a complete loss of users BIGToken points or data on the BIGToken Application or an unwillingness of users to access, adopt and utilize the BIGToken Application, whether through system faults or malicious attacks. Any such faults or attacks on the BIGToken Application and users data may materially and adversely affect the BIGToken Application. There are a number of data protection, security, privacy and other government- and industry-specific requirements, including those that require companies to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. Security compromises could harm the BIGToken Applications reputation, erode user confidence in the effectiveness of its security measures, negatively impact its ability to attract new users, or cause existing users to stop using the BIGToken Application. We may be compelled to disclose personal information about a user or users of the BIGToken Application to federal or state government regulators or taxation authorities. Accordingly, certain information concerning users may be shared outside Social Reality or the BIGToken Sub.
The further development and acceptance of blockchain networks, which are part of a new and rapidly changing industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of blockchain networks and blockchain assets would have an adverse material effect on the successful development and adoption of the BIGToken Application.
The growth of the blockchain industry in general, as well as the blockchain networks on which the BIGToken Application will rely, are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of the blockchain networks, include, without limitation:
·
worldwide growth in the adoption and use of blockchain technologies;
·
government and quasi-government regulation blockchain assets and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of blockchain networks or similar systems;
·
changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences; and
·
the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, or trading assets including new means of using government-backed currencies or existing networks;
Although they have experienced significant growth in recent years, the slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of blockchain networks and blockchain assets may deter or delay the acceptance and adoption of the BIGToken Application.

We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Tracking Stock that will be earned by users of the BIGToken Application.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to the Plan. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the Code), the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The following discussion is for general purposes only, is limited to U.S. federal income tax consequences, and is addressed only to individuals who are U.S. persons within the meaning of the Code (very generally, U.S. citizens and residents) and who hold their Shares as capital assets within the meaning of the Code. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor with respect to any other tax consequences of BIGToken, including the tax consequences, if any, under state, local, foreign, estate, and other tax laws.
We intend to treat your receipt of shares of Preferred Tracking Stock under BIGToken in connection with your redemption of your points as a taxable prize or award for U.S. federal income tax purposes, resulting in taxable ordinary income to you upon redemption equal to the fair market value of the shares of Preferred Tracking Stock on the date redeemed.
Upon a taxable sale or other taxable disposition of any shares of Preferred Tracking Stock you receive pursuant to BIGToken, you will realize, in general, a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount you receive on such disposition and your adjusted tax basis in such shares. In general, any gain or loss recognized upon a disposition of shares will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the Shares for more than 12 months at the time of disposition. Otherwise, any gain or loss recognized on a disposition of shares will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss. Under the Code as currently in effect, long-term capital gains of individuals are taxed at lower rates than ordinary income and short-term capital gains are taxable at ordinary income rates. Your ability to deduct capital losses could be limited. Your adjusted tax basis in your shares should equal the taxable income that you recognize upon redemption of your points in BIGToken, which will generally equal the fair market value of the shares on the date of redemption.
If you receive shares pursuant to a redemption of points under BIGToken, you will be issued an IRS Form 1099-MISC, and a copy of such Form will be provided to the IRS. You will also be required to furnish your taxpayer identification number and to certify that you are not subject to backup withholding on an IRS Form W-9. If you fail to furnish properly a correct taxpayer identification number, or to certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or if you have under-reported dividend or interest income, you may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28%. Your participation in the Plan may also be subject to other information reporting and tax withholding requirements.
Your participation in the Plan may increase the complexity of your tax filings and may cause you to be ineligible to file Internal Revenue Service Form 1040-EZ, if you would otherwise be eligible to file such form.
The U.S. federal income tax discussion set forth above is included for general information only. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of your participation in the Plan, including the tax consequences under state, local, foreign, estate, and other tax laws and tax treaties, and the possible effects of changes in U.S. or other tax laws.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
General
The following is a summary of the rights of our common stock and preferred stock and related provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. For more detailed information, please see our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will have two classes of common stock: Class A common stock, which has one vote per share, and Class B common stock, 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 will be identical. The rights of these classes of common stock are discussed in greater detail below.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 309,000,000 shares, each with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which:
·
250,000,000 shares are designated as Class A common stock;
·
9,000,000 shares are designated as Class B common stock;
·
20,000,000 shares are designated as BIGToken Preferred Tracking Stock; and
·
30,000,000 remaining shares are designated as preferred stock.
As of February 4, 2019, we had 10,109,530 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and no shares of Class B common stock or preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Voting Rights
Holders of our Class A and Class B common stock have identical rights, except that holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by law. Delaware law could require either our Class A common stock or Class B common stock to vote separately as a single class in the following circumstances:
|
· |
If we amended our certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of a class of stock, or to increase or decrease the par value of a class of stock, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment. |
|
|
|
|
· |
If we amended our certificate of incorporation in a manner that altered or changed the powers, preferences or special rights of a class of stock in a manner that affects them adversely then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment. |
We have not provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors in our certificate of incorporation.
Dividends
Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock shall be entitled to share equally in any dividends that our board of directors may determine to issue from time to time. In the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of common stock or rights to acquire shares of common stock, the holders of Class A common stock shall receive Class A common stock, or rights to acquire Class A common stock, as the case may be, and the holders of Class B common stock shall receive Class B common stock, or rights to acquire Class B common stock, as the case may be.
Liquidation Rights
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock shall be entitled to share equally all assets remaining after the payment of any liabilities and the liquidation preferences on any outstanding preferred stock.
22
Subdivision or Combinations.
Upon the subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of one class of Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other class of Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same manner.
Conversion
Our Class A common stock is not convertible into any other shares of our capital stock.
Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. In addition, each share of Class B common stock shall convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain transfers described in our certificate of incorporation, including the following:
·
Transfers between one Class B Stockholder to another Class B Stockholder.
·
Transfers for tax and estate planning purposes, including to trusts, corporations and partnerships controlled by a holder of Class B common stock
The death of any holder of Class B common stock who is a natural person will result in the conversion of his or her shares of Class B common stock to Class A common stock. Once transferred and converted into Class A common stock, the Class B common stock shall not be reissued. No class of common stock may be subdivided or combined unless the other class of common stock concurrently is subdivided or combined in the same proportion and in the same manner.
Dual Class Structure
As discussed above, our Class B common stock has ten votes per share, while our Class A common stock, which is the class of stock the Selling Stockholders are selling pursuant to this prospectus and which is the only class of stock which is publicly traded, has one vote per share. We currently have no shares of our Class B common stock outstanding. Notwithstanding, in the event Class B common stock were issued, due to our dual class structure with superior voting rights, such ownership of Class B common stock could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transaction that other stockholders may view as beneficial.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors has the authority, without approval by the stockholders, to issue up to a total of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors may establish the number of shares to be included in each such series and may fix the designations, preferences, powers and other rights of the shares of a series of preferred stock. Our board could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could dilute the voting power or rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Social Reality.
Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus:
BIGToken Preferred Tracking Stock
The Company has authorized the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Tracking Stock. The Board of Directors shall have the power to increase such number of shares of Preferred Tracking Stock in its sole discretion.

Any redemption hereunder must redeem all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Tracking Stock.
24
Dividend, Redemption or Conversion in Case of BIGToken Group Disposition

Dividend
(i)
Social Reality may pay a dividend, payable in cash, publicly traded securities (not including securities of Social Reality), or other assets, or any combination thereof to the Preferred Tracking Stock holders in such amount equal to the Allocation Percentage of the net proceeds of such disposition of the BIGToken Group;

25
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Certain provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. In particular, our dual class common stock structure will concentrate ownership of our voting stock in the hands of our founders, board members, and employees. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Special Approval for Change in Control Transactions
In the event a person seeks to acquire us by means of a merger or consolidation transaction, a purchase of all or substantially all of our assets, or an issuance of stock which constitutes 2% or more of our outstanding shares at the time of issuance and which results in any person or group owning more than 50% of our outstanding voting power, then these types of acquisition transactions must be approved by our stockholders at an annual or special meeting. At this meeting, we must obtain the approval of stockholders representing the greater of:
|
|
|
|
· |
A majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
60% of the voting power of the shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the stockholder meeting and entitled to vote. |
Undesignated Preferred Stock
The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors. The bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders. However, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirers own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:
|
· |
Prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. |
|
|
|
|
· |
Upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer. |
|
|
|
|
· |
On or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
26
Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporations outstanding voting securities. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may also discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
The provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our Class A common stock is Transfer Online, Inc. 512 SE Salmon Street, Portland, OR 97214, 503-227-2950. Transfer Online will also be the transfer agent and registrar for our Preferred Tracking Stock.

Through an omnichannel approach that integrates all aspects of the advertising experience into one platform, we discover new and measurable opportunities that amplify campaign performance and maximize profits. In addition to our business services and technologies, we also operate a direct to consumer platform that enables consumers to own, manage and sell access to their digital identity and data. This provides us with a direct consumer relationship and gives us valuable proprietary data. We derive our revenues from:

·
sales of media inventory through real-time bidding, or “ RTB ” , exchanges;
·
sale and licensing of our SRAX Social platform and related media;
·
creation of custom platforms for buying media on SRAX for large brands; and
·
sales of proprietary consumer data.
The core elements of our business as of are:
·
SRAXcore is our generalized services and technologies supporting brands and agencies in data management, audience optimization, and multi-channel and omnichannel media and marketing services ;
·
SRAX Social is a social media and loyalty platform that allows brands to launch and manage their social media initiatives. Our team works with customers to identify their needs and then helps them in the creation, deployment and management of their social media presence;

Marketing and sales
We market our services through our in-house sales team. 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.
Intellectual property
We currently rely on a combination of trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Our success depends on the protection of the proprietary aspects of our technology as well as our ability to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We also enter into proprietary information and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and commercial partners and control access to, and distribution of, our software documentation and other proprietary information. Prior to our acquisition of Five Delta in December 2014, in October 2014 it filed a U.S. patent for a method and system for bidding and performance tracking using online advertisements and provisional status has been granted under 62/060,247. In addition, it claimed the benefit of a pending U.S. patent number 61/604,348 for online advertising scoring. The provisional patent application has now been converted to a non-provisional patent application number 12/960,435 and is awaiting examination by the U.S. Patent Office.
28
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.
BIGToken, Inc.
During the third quarter of 2017, we also announced the launch of the BIGToken project (BIGToken), a platform for consumers to own, manage, and sell access to their digital identity and data, and a commercial platform for advertisers to purchase high-quality, user opt-in data. During the fourth quarter of 2017 we completed the incorporation of Big Token, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary in the state of Delaware. The core of the project is our blockchain identification graph platform or BIG. BIGToken is intended to generate higher quality marketing opportunities for advertisers that we believe will pay a premium to have access to better, consumer self-generated data.
In March of 2018, we announced the Alpha launch of the BIG platform to a select group of individuals and entities. Users participating in our BIGToken Alpha will be able to create an account, integrate third party accounts and answer serves in order to create an initial data graph. Participants in the Alpha will be awarded points as opposed to a BIGToken. Although the Alpha launch was a major milestone for the BIGToken project, there can be no assurance that we will complete final development of the BIGToken project or if developed, that it will be successful.
In September of 2018, we announced the launch our BIGtoken Closed Beta and opened the application to more users. This version iterated on the features and learning from the Alpha version and added additional features. In order to access the Closed Beta, users had to register on the BIGtoken website to receive a Beta access code. Closed Beta included feature enhancements, security testing, and scalability testing. These tests and enhancements were completed in early November 2018, and Open Beta was released on November 12, 2018.
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.
29
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 in October 2009. These guides recommend that advertisers and publishers clearly disclose in third-party endorsements made online, such as in social media, if compensation was received in exchange for said endorsements. Because some of our marketing campaigns entail the engagement of consumers to refer other consumers in their social networks to view ads or take action, and both we and the consumer may earn cash and other incentives, and any failure on our part to comply with these guides may be damaging to our business. We currently do not take any steps to monitor compliance with these guides. In the event of a violation, the FTC could potentially identify a violation of the guides, which could subject us to a financial penalty or loss of endorsers or advertisers.
In the area of information security and data protection, many states have passed laws requiring notification to users when there is a security breach for personal data, such as the 2002 amendment to California's Information Practices Act, or requiring the adoption of minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to practically implement. The costs of compliance with these laws may increase in the future as a result of changes in interpretation. Furthermore, any failure on our part to comply with these laws may subject us to significant liabilities.
We are also subject to federal, state, and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of user data. Any failure by us to comply with these privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental authorities or others, which could harm our business. In addition, the interpretation of data protection laws, and their application to the Internet is unclear and in a state of flux. There is a risk that these laws may be interpreted and applied in conflicting ways from state to state, country to country, or region to region, and in a manner that is not consistent with our current data protection practices. Complying with these varying requirements could cause us to incur additional costs and change our business practices. Further, any failure by us to adequately protect users' privacy and data could result in a loss of confidence in our services and ultimately in a loss of customers, which could adversely affect our business.
We generally only receive user data authorized through the Facebook user API. Access to such information, in addition to being limited in scope by Facebook policies and procedures, requires the affirmative authorization of the participating user, as stipulated by Facebook. In a campaign, we post a privacy policy and user agreement, which describe the practices concerning the use, transmission and disclosure of member data in connection with such campaign. Any failure by us to comply with our privacy policy and user agreement could result in proceedings against us by users, customers, governmental authorities or others, which could harm our business.
Many states have passed laws requiring notification to subscribers when there is a security breach of personal data. There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the United States Congress, various state legislative bodies and foreign governments concerning data protection. We partner with providers of data to acquire this data and we do not own this data. In addition, data protection laws in Europe and other jurisdictions outside the United States may be more restrictive, and the interpretation and application of these laws are still uncertain and in flux. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this could result in an order requiring that we change our data practices, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has provisions that limit, but do not necessarily eliminate, our liability for linking to third-party websites that include materials that infringe copyrights or other rights, so long as we comply with the statutory requirements of this act. Complying with these various laws could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business.

Our users communicate across social and/or web-based channels. These communications are governed by a variety of U.S. federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations. In the United States, the CAN-SPAM Act establishes certain requirements for the distribution of "commercial" email messages for the primary purpose of advertising or promoting a commercial product, service, or Internet website and provides for penalties for transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as to source or content or that do not give opt-out control to the recipient. The FTC is primarily responsible for enforcing the CAN-SPAM Act, and the U.S. Department of Justice, other federal agencies, state attorneys general, and Internet service providers also have authority to enforce certain of its provisions.
The CAN-SPAM Act's main provisions include:
|
· |
prohibiting false or misleading email header information; |
|
· |
prohibiting the use of deceptive subject lines; |
|
· |
ensuring that recipients may, for at least 30 days after an email is sent, opt out of receiving future commercial email messages from the sender, with the opt-out effective within 10 days of the request; |
|
· |
requiring that commercial email be identified as a solicitation or advertisement unless the recipient affirmatively assented to receiving the message; and |
|
· |
requiring that the sender include a valid postal address in the email message. |
The CAN-SPAM Act preempts most state restrictions specific to email marketing. However, some states have passed laws regulating commercial email practices that are significantly more punitive and difficult to comply with than the CAN-SPAM Act, particularly Utah and Michigan, which have enacted do-not-email registries listing minors who do not wish to receive unsolicited commercial email that markets certain covered content, such as adult content or content regarding harmful products. Some portions of these state laws may not be preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act.
Violations of the CAN-SPAM Act's provisions can result in criminal and civil penalties, including statutory penalties that can be based in part upon the number of emails sent, with enhanced penalties for commercial email senders who harvest email addresses, use dictionary attack patterns to generate email addresses, and/or relay emails through a network without permission.
With respect to text message campaigns, for example, the CAN-SPAM Act and regulations implemented by the FCC pursuant to the CAN-SPAM Act, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, also known as the Federal Do-Not-Call law, among other requirements, prohibit companies from sending specified types of commercial text messages unless the recipient has given his or her prior express consent. We, our users and our advertisers may all be subject to various provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act. If we are found to be subject to the CAN-SPAM Act, we may be required to change one or more aspects of the way we operate our business.
If we were found to be in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act, other federal laws, applicable state laws not preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act, or foreign laws regulating the distribution of commercial email, whether as a result of violations by our users or any determination that we are directly subject to and in violation of these requirements, we could be required to pay penalties, which would adversely affect our financial performance and significantly harm our reputation and our business.
In addition, because our services are accessible worldwide, certain foreign jurisdictions may claim that we are required to comply with their laws, including in jurisdictions where we have no local entity, employees, or infrastructure.
Employees
At January 29, 2019 we had 61 full-time employees. We also contract for the services of a number individuals from a third-party provider. There are no collective bargaining agreements covering any of our employees.

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
Under the certificate of designation of our Preferred Tracking Stock, our Preferred Tracking Stock holders have certain rights in the event that we declare certain dividends as more fully set forth in the certificate of designation. Please see Description of Securities for a further discussion on the dividend rights of the Preferred Tracking Stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations 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 a digital marketing and data technology company with tools to reach and reveal valuable audiences with marketing and advertising communication. Our machine-learning technology analyzes marketing data to identify brands and content owners' core consumers and their characteristics across marketing channels. Through an omnichannel approach that integrates all aspects of the advertising experience into one platform, we discover new and measurable opportunities that amplify campaign performance and maximize profits. In addition to our business services and technologies, we also operate a direct to consumer platform that enables consumers to own, manage and sell access to their digital identity and data. This provides us with a direct consumer relationship and gives us valuable proprietary data. We derive our revenues from:
·
sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;
·
sales of media inventory through real-time bidding, or “ RTB ” , exchanges;
·
sale and licensing of our SRAX Social platform and related media;
·
creation of custom platforms for buying media on SRAX for large brands; and
·
sales of proprietary consumer data.
The core elements of our business as of are:
·
SRAXcore is our generalized services and technologies supporting brands and agencies in data management, audience optimization, and multi-channel and omnichannel media and marketing services ;
·
SRAX Social is a social media and loyalty platform that allows brands to launch and manage their social media initiatives. Our team works with customers to identify their needs and then helps them in the creation, deployment and management of their social media presence;
·
SRAXshopper tools enable brands and agencies to connect with shoppers driving in store an online sales; and
·
SRAXauto tools enable targeting and engagement with potential auto buyers at dealerships, auto shows, and at home across desktop and mobile environments; and
·
SRAXir tools to assist public companies in analyzing and marketing to their shareholder population; and
·
BIGtoken which is a platform for consumers to own, manage and participate in the sales of their digital data, which provides SRAX proprietary audiences and data.
We offer our customers several pricing options including cost-per-thousand-impression, commonly referred to as CPM, whereby our customers pay based on the number of times the target audience is exposed to the advertisement. In addition to campaign revenues, we generate SaaS revenue with SRAXir and other revenues on a monthly service fee.
During 2017, we launched a new SRAX Social tool for digital marketers and content owners to create posts and promote them beyond their respective Facebook Page communities. This tool is the first of many planned monetization opportunities to be developed and integrated into SRAX Social . We also released a new guide entitled People-Based Advertising: How to Get Bigger Results by Targeting the Most Precise Audience which we believe will provide support for our expertise as an Internet advertising resource. We also unveiled the Companys new SRAX branding, designed to reflect the breadth and depth of the tools that we offer to digital marketers and content owners.
36
In 2017, we also announced several new product offerings designed to expand our reach for advertisers to other large digital audiences. SRAX Shopper is a buyside vertical focused on advertising to in market brand shoppers at specific retailers. SRAX Auto is another new buyside vertical launched to target car buyers. SRAXir is a platform for public companies to manage and market to their shareholder populations. While SRAX Shopper and SRAX Auto have formally launched, they remain very early stage. As such, we do not believe these two new initiatives will be significant contributors to revenue growth for the remainder of 2018.
In late 2017, we announced the launch of BIGToken. Presently we are developing BIGToken as a wholly owned subsidiary of Social Reality and eventually anticipate spinning the company out to our shareholders. In March of 2018, we announced the Alpha launch of the BIG platform to a select group of individuals and entities. Users participating in our BIGToken Alpha will be able to create an account, integrate third party accounts and answer serves in order to create an initial data graph. Participants in the Alpha will be awarded points as opposed to a BIGToken. Although the Alpha launch was a major milestone for the BIGToken project, there can be no assurance that we will complete final development of the BIGToken project or if developed, that it will be successful.
We commenced our closed Beta of the BIGToken platform during the third quarter of 2018, and anticipate commencing an open Beta during the first quarter of 2019. It is anticipated that the BIGToken platform will become generally available in mid 2019. Notwithstanding the foregoing anticipated development dates, to fully launch BIGToken, not only will we be required to complete development and testing of the platform, but we will also need to comply with both state and federal securities laws and regulations with regard to certain aspects of the platform. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with such laws or regulations on a timely basis, if at all. Our failure to adequately comply with such laws and regulations, or comply with them on a timely basis, will greatly impact the value and utility of the BIGToken platform.

Revenue
Revenue decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2018 from the comparable period in 2017, by $3,538,791 or 63.7%, largely due to the absence of SRAXmd revenues in August and September following the sale of that product group. Gross profit decreased by $1,847,482 or 59.6%, also due to the absence of SRAXmd in August and September. However, the decline in gross profit was partially offset by higher margins derived from ongoing clients resulting from the strategic shift that began in 2017 to focus on higher margin revenue opportunities from our advertising clients.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, revenue declined by $8,037,857 or 47.7% from the comparable period in 2017, while gross profit declined by $2,561,789 or 30.2%.
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. Approximately 100% of the cost of revenue was attributable to payments to website publishers and other media providers for the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2018 and 2017. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue declined to 37.9% for the third quarter of 2018 from 44.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue declined to 32.9% for the first nine months of 2018 from 49.7% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017.
Operating expense
Our operating expenses are comprised of salaries, commissions, marketing and general overhead expenses. Overall, our net operating expense increased 33.1% in the third quarter of 2018 from the comparable period in 2017, driven primarily by headcount additions in our SRAXmd and BigToken product groups necessary for future revenue growth. Net operating expense increased 17.6% in the nine month period ending September 20, 2018 due to other fixed cost savings in the first quarter of 2018.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) in the first quarter of 2018 represents factoring fees and interest due on convertible debentures, as well as amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. Total interest expense increased to $1,045,658 for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the $471,234 during the same period in 2017 due to the October 2017 Debenture issuance which resulted in a higher level of total debt and interest incurred. Total interest expense increased to $2,772,448 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $1,567,515 during the same period in 2017 due to the same factors as well as us incurring one-time liquidated damages in the second quarter of 2018 resulting from delays in obtaining effective registration of the securities issued in the October Debenture financing.
We believe that our overall interest expense during the balance of 2018 will decrease with the redemption of our outstanding Debentures in November 2018.
Non-GAAP financial measures
We use adjusted net loss to measure our overall results because we believe it better reflects our net results by excluding the impact of non-cash equity based compensation and the accretion of put warrants. We use Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) to measure our operations by excluding interest and certain additional one-time expenses. We believe the presentation of adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA enhances our investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of our business.
You should not consider adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to net loss, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. A directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA is net loss.

Revenue
The decrease in our revenue during year ended December 31, 2017 from 2016 reflects an decreases in revenue from our SRAX sell-side and buy-side clients, partially offset by continued growth in SRAXmd .
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. Approximately 99.2% of cost of revenue was attributable to payments to website publishers and other media providers for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to 99.5% for the year ended December 31, 2016. The balance was attributable to labor costs and project and application design costs. During the year ended December 31, 2017, our gross margin increased substantially as a result of a decrease in our cost of revenue as a percentage of our revenues. Cost of revenue as a percent of total revenue decreased to 39.9% for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to 64.9% for the year ended December 31, 2016. This decrease was due to our reduction in our overall lower-margin revenues for both our buy-side and sell-side clientele.
Operating expense
Our operating expense is comprised of salaries, commissions, marketing, and general overhead expense. Additionally, we also incurred an impairment in goodwill amounting to $670,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016. Overall, operating expense increased approximately 3.2% for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to increased sales salaries and commissions resulting from the recruitment of additional sales personnel earlier in the year, partially offset by other overhead reductions. In the first quarter of 2017 we made certain changes in our operations to reduce expenses and focus our resources in areas of our operations which we believe have the greatest potential to increase our revenues, including the closure of a redundant operations center in New York city that we inherited as part of the Steel Media acquisition. The operations of this facility were consolidated into our existing Los Angeles office, and the office lease in New York city was terminated. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2017 we launched the BIGToken project. To date, we have not segregated the costs and expenses of BIGToken, we estimate that we have spent an aggregate of approximately $209,623 on the project as of December 31, 2017.
40
In addition, we restructured several sales management roles and eliminated large sales override compensation structures to now better align employee compensation with Company profitability.
During the fourth quarter of 2016 we completed the up-listing of our Class A common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result, our 2017 operating expense also increased due to expenditures associated with our status as an exchange listed public company.
Write off of contingent consideration
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we wrote-off $3,744,496 which represented the reversal of the second earn out consideration which Mr. Steel would have been entitled to receive as additional consideration for the purchase of Steel Media as further described in Note 7 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. This non-cash item is not considered part of normal operations.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the years December 31, 2017 and 2016 represents interest under notes issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement and factoring fees, amortization of debt costs and the accretion of the put liability under the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement is described in Note 3 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Interest expense, net of interest income for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased 12.3% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. This decrease in interest expense is attributable to the lower debt balance due to principal repayments and debenture conversions made earlier in the year, as well as an overall reduced rate of borrowing. In 2017, we also received $262,684 of interest income related to the settlement with Tronc.
Non-GAAP financial measures
We use Adjusted net loss to measure our overall results because we believe it better reflects our net results by excluding the impact of non-cash equity based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our operations by excluding interest and certain additional non-cash expenses. We believe the presentation of Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA enhances our investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of our business.
You should not consider Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to net income (loss), determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), as an indicator of operating performance. A directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA is net loss.
The following is a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Includes cash and cash equivalents of $14.4 million and $1.0 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. |
Our working capital increased by $12,660,029 in during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This is primarily as a result of the increase of cash from the sale of our SRAXmd product line in the third quarter of 2018 as well as decreases in our current liabilities resulting from decreases in accounts payable as a result of payments made to outstanding vendors utilizing proceeds primarily from the sale of the SRAXmd product line.
Our current assets increased by $10,124,445 primarily from the increase of assets as a result of the sale of our SRAXmd product line in the third quarter of 2018.
Our current liabilities decreased by $2,535,586 primarily from decreases in our current liabilities resulting from decreases in accounts payable as a result of payments made to outstanding vendors utilizing proceeds from the sale of the SRAXmd product line.
42
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our business and other general corporate purposes, including debt repayment. At September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,431,134. As of September 30, 2018, we had $14,423,573 in cash and cash equivalents and a net working capital surplus of $13,784,051 as compared to $1,017,299 in cash and cash equivalents and a net working capital surplus of $1,124,023 at December 31, 2017.
During the third quarter of 2017 we launched the BIGToken project. We have incurred an aggregate of approximately $1,987,073 of operating expenses related to this project since inception through September 30, 2018. We are currently financing BIGToken internally. Upon the commercial launch of BIGToken, we anticipate that it will be financed independently from Social Reality through the sale of the subsidiarys equity, debt, or equity-linked securities. Based on our current development plans, and assuming there is no revenue for the first twelve months, we estimate that BIGToken will require approximately $5.4 million for the 12 months following its commercial launch, which is anticipated to be during the second quarter of 2019, provided that such capital requirements may increase or decrease based on our further development of the platform, user adoption rates, revenues and levels of marketing expenses. In the event that BIGToken is not able to secure independent funding, we may nonetheless continue to fund the BIGToken project internally albeit on a reduced scope and extended time frame. In such instance, we do not believe the project will initially result in a material increase to our operating expenses as the majority of BIGTokens initial expenses are either duplicative administrative expenses or related to customer acquisition once the platform is successfully launched.
On August 6, 2018, the Company sold a majority interest in its SRAXmd product group, resulting in proceeds of approximately $20 million of cash into the company.
During January 2017, we satisfied all outstanding obligations under a financing agreement utilizing proceeds from the factoring of our receivables and sales of our securities. The repayment of these notes had adversely impacted our current liquidity. To address the immediate impact of this decreased liquidity, we developed certain operating plans that focus on increased revenue growth and cost reductions as further described herein. During April 2017, we raised $5,000,000 through the sale of 12.5% convertible debentures. We utilized $2,500,000 of the proceeds of this sale to satisfy the put obligation of the Series B Warrants issued to investors in the January 2017 offering. The balance of the debenture sales proceeds was used to satisfy the payment of accounts payable and other working capital requirements. During October 2017, we raised an additional $5,180,157 through the sale of similar 12.5% convertible debentures. We utilized $1,567,612 of the proceeds of this sale to satisfy obligations due under the Financing Warrant. The balance of the October 2017 debenture sales proceeds were also used to satisfy the payment of accounts payable and other working capital requirements.
Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $8,942,876 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2,240,400 for the comparable period in 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Companys accounts receivable decreased by $1,816,668 from the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2017. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $3,005,533 from the period ending December 31, 2017.
Cash flows from investing activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 net cash provided by investing activities was $22,249,150 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $551,655 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Our principal use of cash in investing activity is to acquire equipment and develop internally used software. In the third quarter of 2018, we also used $420,000 to purchase an ownership interest in Halyard MD Opco LLC.
Cash flows from financing activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 net cash provided by financing activities was $100,000, which was comprised solely of proceeds from the maturity of our short-term investments. During the comparable period in 2017, net cash in the amount of $1,959,702 was provided by financing activities which primarily consisted of proceeds from the sale of common stock of $3,820,001 and proceeds from the sale of convertible secured debentures of $2,136,629, offset by a $3,996,928 repayment of notes payable.
43
Capital Resources
Our sources of cash have historically consisted of proceeds from issuances of equity and debt securities and revenues generated from operations. We have also funded our operations with by factoring our receivables and, to a lesser extent, equipment leasing arrangements.
2017 Offerings
In 2017, we completed several private placement offerings of equity and debt securities in the aggregate of approximately $14 million, exclusive of placement agent fees and commissions and offering expenses paid by us.
Sufficiency of Cash Balances and Potential Sources of Additional Capital
Our capital requirements depend on many factors, including, among others: the acceptance of, and demand for, our products and services; our levels of net product revenues and any other revenues we may receive; the extent and timing of any investments in developing, marketing and launching new or enhanced products or technologies; the costs of developing, improving and maintaining our internal design, testing and development processes; the costs associated with maintaining, defending and enforcing our intellectual property rights; and the nature and timing of acquisitions and other strategic transactions or relationships in which we engage, if any.
We believe our existing cash balance, together with cash provided by our operations and taking into account cash expected to be used in our operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, our estimates of our operating revenues and expenses and working capital requirements could be incorrect and we may use our cash resources faster than we anticipate. Further, some or all of our ongoing or planned investments may not be successful and could further deplete our capital without immediate, or any, cash returns. Until we can generate sufficient revenues to finance our cash requirements from our operations, which we may never do, we may need to increase our liquidity and capital resources by one or more measures, which may include, among others, reducing operating expenses, restructuring our balance sheet by negotiating with creditors and vendors, entering into strategic partnerships or alliances, raising additional financing through the issuance of debt, equity or convertible securities or pursuing alternative sources of capital, such as through asset or technology sales or licenses or other alternative financing arrangements. Further, even if our near-term liquidity expectations prove correct, we may still seek to raise capital through one or more of these financing alternatives. However, we may not be able to obtain capital when needed or desired, on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Inadequate working capital would have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and could cause us to fail to execute our business plan, fail to take advantage of future opportunities or fail to respond to competitive pressures or customer requirements. A lack of sufficient funding may also require us to significantly modify our business model and/or reduce or cease our operations, which could include implementing cost-cutting measures or delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of our ongoing and planned investments in corporate infrastructure, research and development projects, business development initiatives and sales and marketing activities, among other activities. Modification of our business model and operations could result in an impairment of assets, the effects of which cannot be determined. Furthermore, if we continue to issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges that are superior to those of our existing stockholders.
Additionally, if we are not able to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the challenges and risks of equity financings may significantly increase, including potentially increasing the dilution of any such financing or decreasing our ability to effect such a financing at all. If we incur additional debt, it may increase our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization or have other material consequences. If we pursue asset or technology sales or licenses or other alternative financing arrangements to obtain additional capital, our operational capacity may be limited and any revenue streams or business plans that are dependent on the sold or licensed assets may be reduced or eliminated. Moreover, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing any future capital-raising transactions, including investment banking, legal and accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other similar costs, which would reduce the benefit of the capital received from the transaction.
44
Critical accounting policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 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 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.
Off balance sheet arrangements
As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Independence
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. As such, we are subject to the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (NASDAQ) director independence standards. In accordance with these standards, in determining independence the Board affirmatively determines whether a director has a "material relationship" with Social Reality that would compromise his or her independence from management or would cause him or her to fail to meet the NASDAQs specific independence criteria. When assessing the "materiality" of a director's relationship with Social Reality, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances, not merely from the director's standpoint, but from that of the persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation, and, where applicable, the frequency and regularity of the services, and whether the services are being carried out at arm's length in the ordinary course of business. Material relationships can include commercial, consulting, charitable, familial and other relationships. A relationship is not material if, in the Board's judgment, it is not inconsistent with the NASDAQS director independence standards and it does not compromise a director's independence from management.
Applying the NASDAQs standards, the Board has determined that Messrs. Savas, CasSelle, Jordan and Ms. DiClaudio are each independent as that term is defined by the NASDAQs standards.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the registrant to become a director or executive officer.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our certificate of incorporation states that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporate Law, or the DGCL, no director shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director; provided, however, that this provision eliminating personal liability of a director shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director who willfully and negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time the action occurred or immediately after the absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices or positions with us. However, nothing in our certificate of incorporation or bylaws protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability to which that person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of that persons office or position. To the extent that a director has been successful in defending any proceeding brought against him, the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the director shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS
Related Party Transactions Procedure
We review all known relationships and transactions in which Social Reality and our directors, executive officers, and significant stockholders or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect interest. Our management, in consultation with our outside legal consultants, determines based on specific fact and circumstances whether Social Reality or a related party has a direct or indirect interest in these transactions. In addition, our directors and executive officers are required to notify us of any potential related party transactions and provide us with the information regarding such transactions.
If it is determined that a transaction is a related party transaction, the Audit Committee must review the transaction and either approve or disapprove it. In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction with a related party, the Audit Committee will take into account all of the relevant facts and circumstances available to it, including, among any other factors it deems appropriate:

the benefits to us of the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
· |
the nature of the related party ’ s interest in the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
· |
whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interests of Social Reality and our shareholders; |
|
|
|
|
· |
the potential impact of the transaction on a director ’ s independence; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances. |
Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related party with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberations or vote on the approval of the transaction.
Related Party Transactions

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Social Reality, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Social Reality, Inc. (the Company), as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ RBSM LLP
We have served as the Companys auditor since 2011

Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern
Going Concern Evaluation
In connection with preparing consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued.
The Company considered the following:
|
· |
Net losses of $6,658,882 and $4,248,233 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
|
· |
Negative cash flow from operating activities for 2017 and 2016. |
|
· |
At December 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,148,706. |
|
· |
Revenue decline in 2017 of $12,414,333. |
Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entitys ability to meet its obligations as they become due.
The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued by considering the following:
|
· |
The Company raised $14.0 million via equity debt financing during the year ended December 31, 2017. |
|
· |
The Company has historically raised funds from debt and equity financings. |
|
· |
As a result of the Companys restructurings that were implemented during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Companys cost structure is now in line with its future revenue projections. |
|
· |
In 2017, the Company is in compliance with NASDAQ Capital Markets listing requirements. |
|
· |
In 2017, the Company converted $3.3 million of long term debt, and repaid its short-term notes payable. |
|
· |
Revenue declines were largely the result of a strategic shift away from lower margin sales the produced little to no positive cash flow benefit for the Company. |
In addition to the recent capital raised 2017, management also believes that the Company will generate enough cash from operations to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months from the issuance date.
The Company will take the following actions if it starts to trend unfavorably to its internal profitability and cash flow projections, in order to mitigate conditions or events that would raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern:
|
· |
Raise additional capital through short-term loans. |
|
· |
Implement additional restructuring and cost reductions. |
|
· |
Raise additional capital through a private placement. |
|
· |
Secure a commercial bank line of credit. |
|
· |
Dispose of one or more product lines. |
|
· |
Sell or license intellectual property. |
At December 31, 2017, the Company had $1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1 million of working capital.
Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Presentation
On September 20, 2016, the Company completed a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of our Class A common stock. The principal reason for the reverse stock split was to facilitate the up-listing of our Class A common stock to the NASDAQ Capital Market which has a minimum market (bid) price requirement for new applicants of $4.00 per share. Refer to Note 4 regarding a further discussion of the reverse stock split.
F-10
SOCIAL REALITY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016
These consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.
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 of the subsidiary.
Use of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The most significant areas that require management judgment and which are susceptible to possible change in the near term include the Company's revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and sales credits, stock-based compensation, income taxes, purchase price for acquisition, goodwill, other intangible assets, put rights and valuation of liabilities.
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 revenue transactions as the Company is the primary obligor in the transactions. As such, 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 consolidated statements of operations.
Accounts Receivable
Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Management periodically assesses the Company's accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $59,703 and $254,875 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
F-11
SOCIAL REALITY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016
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 with financial institutions within the United States. The balances maintained at these financial institutions are generally more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The uninsured cash bank balances were $767,299 at December 31, 2017. The Company has not experienced any loss on these accounts. The balances are maintained in demand accounts to minimize risk.
At December 31, 2017, 4 customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, for a total of 59.5%. For the year ended December 31, 2016, two customers accounted for 48% of total revenue.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Companys principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:
|
· |
Level 1Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
· |
Level 2Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and |
|
· |
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
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, 2017 and 2016, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value, generally estimated using the Black Scholes Merton model.
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 to seven 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.
F-12
SOCIAL REALITY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of intellectual property, a non-complete agreement, and internally developed software and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets of five to six years. During 2016, the Company began capitalizing the costs of developing internal-use computer software, including directly related payroll costs. The Company amortizes costs associated with its internally developed software over periods up to three years, beginning when the software is ready for its intended use.
The Company capitalizes costs incurred during the application development stage of internal-use software and amortize these costs over the estimated useful life. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enable the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance, training, data conversion, and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
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 and change to annual impairment testing period
Goodwill is comprised of the purchase price of business combinations in excess of the fair value assigned at acquisition to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually, or when events or changes in the business environment indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. The Company also has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads the Company to determine that it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that goodwill is impaired. If the Company chooses to first assess qualitative factors and it is determined that it is not more likely than not goodwill is impaired, the Company is not required to take further action to test for impairment. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform only the quantitative impairment test, which the Company may choose to do in some periods but not in others. The Company performs its annual impairment review as of December 31st.
The Company had historically performed its annual goodwill and impairment assessment on September 30 th of each year; however, due to the elimination of the need to internally maintain certain segregated accounting records of the Steel Media business that occurred in the third quarter of 2016, following the determination that the second year Earn Out Consideration would not be achieved (See Note 2), this was reevaluated by the Company. Further, given the seasonal and cyclical nature of advertising sales in general, timing of the Companys annual budgeting process, and the short-term nature of the Companys advertising sales contracts, it was determined that it would be more effective and efficient to conduct the annual impairment analysis instead at December 31 st of each year. This would also better align the Company with other advertising sales companies who also generally conduct this annual analysis in the fourth quarter. The Company does not believe this change will have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements, and continues to evaluate potential interim impairment to goodwill consistent with its historical practices.
When evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill, management first assess a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company's products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of the Company's reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then proceed to a two-step impairment testing methodology using the income approach (discounted cash flow method).
F-13
SOCIAL REALITY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016
In the first step of the two-step testing methodology, we compare the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined by its estimated discounted cash flows. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we then complete the second step of the impairment test to determine the amount of impairment to be recognized. In the second step, we estimate an implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to 100% of the assets and liabilities other than goodwill (including any unrecognized intangible assets). If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the difference in that period.
When required, we arrive at our estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology which includes estimates of future cash flows to be generated by specifically identified assets, as well as selecting a discount rate to measure the present value of those anticipated cash flows. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and includes making assumptions about projected growth rates, industry-specific factors, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.
Although the Company now operates within one business segment, it was determined that a portion of the goodwill originally assigned to the Steel Media, a California corporation (Steel Media), acquisition had become impaired as of June 30, 2016. Accordingly, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $670,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016. The impairment charge represents the excess of the carrying amount of the goodwill recorded in the acquisition over the implied fair value of the goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is the residual fair value based on an income approach that utilized a discounted cash flow model based on revenue and profit forecasts. The Company performed its annual impairment test as of December 31, 2017 and no further impairment was required.
Long-lived Assets
Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time; and changes in the Company's business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairments have been recorded regarding its identifiable intangible assets or other long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2017 or 2016, respectively.
Derivatives
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging . Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments.
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.

DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016
There were 5,246,692 common share equivalents at December 31, 2017 and 3,818,080 at December 31, 2016. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, 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 consolidated 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.
Common stock awards
The Company grants common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value measurement date of these awards is generally the date the performance of services is complete. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.
Warrants
In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 4, Stockholders Equity .

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.
Liquidity
In connection with preparing its consolidated financial statements, management evaluates whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2017 of $21,148,706. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $1,017,299 in cash and cash equivalents and net working capital of $1,124,023 as compared to $1,048,762 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $8,276,099 at December 31, 2016, respectively. While the Company believes it has established an ongoing source of revenue that is sufficient to cover its operating costs over the next twelve months, the Company is currently experiencing a period of limited liquidity resulting from recent activity related to the Financing Agreement.
Between September 2016 and January 2017, we satisfied all outstanding obligations under the Financing Agreement utilizing proceeds from the factoring of our receivables and sales of our securities. While the satisfaction of the amounts owed under the Financing Agreement resulted in overall savings to us in 2017 through the elimination of both the associated interest expense as well as the internal costs related to the reporting obligations under its terms, the payment of these amounts adversely impacted our current liquidity. To address the immediate impact of this decreased liquidity, we have recently made certain reductions in staffing, delayed certain previously budgeted expenditures, eliminated certain legacy operating expenses associated with the Steel Media acquisition, restructured sales management compensation structures, extended payments to certain vendors, and in October 2017 issued addition Debentures totaling $5,180,158. If our revenues continue to increase throughout the next twelve months as anticipated, additional liquidity is also anticipated to be readily available under our accounts receivable factoring agreement with FastPay Partners. As of March 31, 2018, we had approximately $1,346,670 of factored accounts receivable outstanding on a total available line of $8,000,000.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). The effective date for ASU 2017-13 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Part 1 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and Part 2 Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with Scope Exception (ASU No. 2017-11). Part 1 of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are provisions in certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ®. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We early adopted the proposed guidance under ASU 2017-11 for the year end December 31, 2017, and recognized warrants issued in the fourth quarter of 2017 with a down round feature as equity. Adjustments were required for the retrospective application of this standard.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU No. 2017-04). ASU No. 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. A public business entity that is a SEC filer should adopt the amendments of ASU No. 2017-04 for its annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect any impact from the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-16 - Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. ASU 2016-16 will require the tax effects of intercompany transactions, other than sales of inventory, to be recognized currently, eliminating an exception under current GAAP in which the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers are deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statements of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.
In connection with its financial instruments project, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments in June 2016 and ASU 2016-01 - Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities in January 2016.

ASU 2016-13 introduces a new impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model that will replace the current incurred loss model and generally will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption in fiscal year 2020 permitted. |

· |
ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other provisions, the new guidance requires the fair value measurement of investments in certain equity securities. For investments without readily determinable fair values, entities have the option to either measure these investments at fair value or at cost adjusted for changes in observable prices minus impairment. All changes in measurement will be recognized in net income. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year. Early adoption is not permitted, except for certain provisions relating to financial liabilities. |
In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606) , which amends certain aspects of the FASBs new revenue standard, ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606) . ASU 2016-10 identifies performance obligations and provides licensing implementation guidance. The effective date for ASU 2016-10 is the same as the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09. ASU No. 2015-14 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date) defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718 ), which is part of the FASB's Simplification Initiative. The updated guidance simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , or ASU 2016-08, that clarifies how to apply revenue recognition guidance related to whether an entity is a principal or an agent. ASU 2016-08 clarifies that the analysis must focus on whether the entity has control of the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer and provides additional guidance about how to apply the control principle when services are provided and when goods or services are combined with other goods or services. The effective date for ASU 2016-08 is the same as the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09. ASU No. 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has performed an evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements, and given its revenue recognition practices already in place, it does not appear this will have a material impact on the Companys future presentation of consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate new revenue streams as they develop from future new product launches.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-3, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-3) which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements to present such costs as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. ASU 2015-3 became effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU 2015-3 on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern. The amendments in this update apply to all reporting entities and require an entitys management, in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. We adopted this standard for the year ended December 31, 2016. Based on the results of our analysis, we have determined that the disclosures were as required by ASU No. 2014-15.

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 the Company, Steel Media and Mr. Steel (the "Stock Purchase Agreement").
As consideration for the purchase of Steel Media, we agreed to pay Mr. Steel up to $20,000,000, consisting of: (i) a cash payment at closing of $7,500,000; (ii) a cash payment of $2,000,000 which was 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 $2,500,000 (the "Note") which was secured by 477,373 shares of our Class A common stock (the "Escrow Shares"); and (iv) earn out payments of up to $8,000,000 (the "Earn Out Consideration").
The Earn Out Consideration target was achieved for the first earn out period ended October 31, 2015. As such, at December 31, 2015, we recorded $7,585,435 associated with the first and second portions of the earn out, and on January 29, 2016 we paid Mr. Steel $4,000,000. Of this amount, $1,600,000 was paid in cash and the balance was paid through the issuance of 256,754 shares of our Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The Company determined the remaining Earn Out Consideration would not be achieved for the second earn out period ended October 31, 2016 and reversed the second portion of the earn out liability of $3,585,435 in September 2016.

Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC as agent for the lenders
On October 30, 2014 (the "Financing Agreement Closing Date"), the Company entered 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 initial and subsequent notes issued (the Financing Notes) bore 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 achieved a reduction in the leverage ratio as described in the Financing Agreement, the PIK interest rate declined on a sliding scale from 4% to 2%. The Financing Notes issued under the Financing Agreement were scheduled to mature on October 30, 2017.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, we completely repaid the Financing Notes and made principal and PIK interest repayments in the amount of $3,996,928.

We incurred a total of $3,178,011 of costs related to the Financing Agreement. These costs were amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, $2,101,377 and $1,076,634, respectively, of debt issuance costs were amortized as interest expense. As of December 31, 2017, all deferred debt issuance costs have been completely amortized.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, $67,612 and $510,859, respectively, were recorded as PIK interest expense.
Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the Company issued to the lender a five-year warrant to purchase 580,000 shares of its Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (the "Financing Warrant"). The warrant holder was not, however, permitted to exercise the Financing Warrant for shares of Class A common stock that would cause such holder to beneficially own shares of Class A common stock that exceeds 4.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A common stock following such exercise. Pursuant to the Financing Warrant, the warrant holder had the right, at any time after the earlier of April 30, 2016 and the maturity date of the Financing Notes issued, 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 the Company, and the Company will purchase from the warrant holder, all or any portion of the Financing Warrant that had not been previously exercised. In connection with any exercise of this put right, the purchase price was to 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 consolidated revenue for the Company for the trailing 12-month period ending with the Company's then-most recently completed fiscal quarter, and (b) $1,500,000. In May 2017, the Company was notified by the warrant holder that it was exercising its put right. We had a period of 45 days from the date of notice to repay the right or negotiate a settlement. If the right remained unpaid after the 45-day period, interest would accrue on the unpaid balance at a rate of 14% per annum. On October 27, 2017, the Company paid the warrant holder $1,567,612, which was comprised of the $1,500,000 warrant value and an additional $67,612 of accrued interest.
As contemplated under the Financing Agreement, the Company also entered 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 had the right, subject to certain allocation provisions set forth in the Financing Registration Rights Agreement, to include the shares underlying the Financing Warrant in registration statements for offerings by the Company of its Class A common stock, as well as offerings of the Company's Class A common stock held by third parties. The shares underlying the Financing Warrant were initially included in a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective by the SEC in March 2016.
Financing and Security Agreement with FastPay
In September 2016, the Company executed a Financing and Security Agreement, as amended (collectively, the "FastPay Agreement"), with FastPay creating an accounts receivable-based credit facility.
Under the terms of the FastPay Agreement, FastPay may, at its sole discretion, purchase the Company's eligible accounts receivable. Upon any acquisition of accounts receivable, FastPay will advance the Company up to 80% of the gross value of the purchased accounts, up to a maximum of $8,000,000 in advances. As a result of the Debentures that we issued in April 2017 as further described in Note 10, the Company agreed to reduce the amount of receivables to be purchased to a maximum of $4,000,000. Each account receivable purchased by FastPay will be subject to a factoring fee rate specified in the FastPay Agreement calculated as a percentage of the gross value of the account outstanding and additional fees for accounts outstanding over 30 days. The Company is subject to a concentration limitation on the percentage of debt from any single customer of 25% to the total amount outstanding on its purchased accounts, subject to increase to 50% for its larger customer.
The Company is obligated to repurchase accounts remaining uncollected after a specified deadline, and FastPay will generally have full recourse against the Company in the event of nonpayment of any purchased accounts. The Company's obligations under the FastPay Agreement are secured by a first position security interest in its accounts receivable, deposit accounts and all proceeds therefrom.

The FastPay Agreement contains covenants that are customary for agreements of this type and are primarily related to accounts receivable and audit rights. The Company is also required to provide FastPay with 30-day notice of any transaction that result, or would result in, a change of control as defined in the FastPay Agreement. The failure to satisfy covenants under the FastPay Agreement or the occurrence of other specified events that constitute an event of default, as defined, could result in the termination of the FastPay Agreement and/or the acceleration of the Company's obligations. The FastPay Agreement contains provisions relating to events of default that are customary for agreements of this type.
The FastPay Agreement has an initial one-year term and automatically renews for successive one-year terms thereafter, subject to earlier termination by written notice by the Company, provided all obligations are paid, including the payment of an early termination fee.
At December 31, 2017, $2,082,822 of accounts receivable purchased by FastPay remain outstanding and are subject to repurchase under the terms of the FastPay Agreement.
Secured Convertible Debentures, Net
In April 2017, the Company entered into definitive securities purchase agreements (the Securities Purchase Agreements) with certain accredited investors (the Purchasers) for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of : (i) $5,000,000 principal amount of 12.5% secured convertible debentures (the Debentures); and (ii) five-year Series A warrants (the Debenture Warrants) representing the right to acquire up to 833,337 shares of our Class A common stock in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on an exemption provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Debentures, which mature three years from the date of issuance, pay interest in cash at the rate of 12.5% per annum, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on July 1, 2017. Our obligations under the Debentures are secured by a second position security interest in our accounts receivable and a first position security interest in the balance of our assets, and we are subject to continued compliance with certain financial covenants. The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our Class A common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment as hereinafter set forth. Subject to our compliance with certain equity conditions set forth in the Debentures, upon 20 trading days' notice to the holders we have the right to redeem the Debentures in cash at a 120% premium during the first year and a 110% premium during the remaining term of the Debentures.

The Company is also subject to certain customary non-financial covenants under the Debenture.

We held a special meeting of the shareholders on June 23, 2017 whereby we obtained approval of the Securities Purchase Agreements and the transactions thereunder.
We agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of our Class A common stock underlying the Debentures and the Debenture Warrants.

Under the terms of this agreement, which expires on December 31, 2018, the Company engaged kiWW to provide a variety of advisory and consulting services to the Company, including (i) if the Company forms an Advisory Committee of independent, third party brand, marketing and/or consumer product C-level executives, to serve on such committee on terms no less favorable than the highest compensated person on such committee, (ii) as an advisor, hold the non-executive designation of Chief Branding Advisor, (iii) provide reasonable input to the Company on various aspects of corporate branding, and (iv) use good faith efforts to introduce the Company to potential business customers. As compensation for such services, the Company will issue kiWW 100,000 shares valued at $678,000 of its Class A common stock on January 2, 2017 and reimburse kiWW for incurred expenses. Although the shares to be issued are for future services over the term of the agreement, we have recognized the value of these services as an expense during the year ended December 31, 2016. The agreement contains customary confidentiality and indemnification provisions.
Awards in the amount of 0 and 35,500 common shares were forfeited during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Stock Options and Warrants
In February 2015, we granted 2,400 common stock options to a director. The options vest quarterly over one year. The options have an exercise price of $6.00 per s hare and a term of five years. These options had a grant date fair value of $3.10 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.
In August 2015, we granted 40,000 common stock options to an employee. The options vest ratably over three years on each grant date anniversary. Compensation expense will be recognized over the vesting period. The options have an exercise price of $8.25 per s hare and expire three years following the vesting date. These options had a grant date fair value of $3.70 per option, determined using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.625%; (2) dividend yield of 0 %; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 85%; and (4) an expected life of the options of 2 years.
In September 2015, we granted 77,000 common stock options to employees. The options will vest ratably over three years on each grant date anniversary. Compensation expense will be recognized over the vesting period. The options have an exercise price of $8.65 per s hare and expire three years following the vesting date. These options had a grant date fair value of $3.95 per option, determined using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.625 %; (2) dividend yield of 0 %; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 85%; and (4) an expected life of the options of 2 years.
In October 2016, we granted an aggregate of 146,000 stock options to three employees. The options will vest over three years. The options have an exercise price of $7.50 per share and a term of five years. These options had a grant date fair value of $4.98 per option, determined using the Black Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 1.125%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 112%; and (4) an expected life of the options of 5 years.
During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded compensation expense of $992,732 and $1,200,121, respectively, related to stock based compensation. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 161,500 options and 47,000 options were forfeited, respectively.
On September 19, 2016, the Company extended the expiration date of common stock purchase warrants issued and sold in 2013 to purchase an aggregate of 642,000 shares of its Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share from between October 8, 2016 and November 6, 2016 to March 31, 2017, for which, the Company applied ASC 718-20-35-3 modification of equity-classified contracts and therefore the incremental fair value from the modification (the change in the fair value of the instrument before and after the modification) of $274,634 is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations to the extent the modified instrument has a higher fair value.

DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016
On November 16, 2016, the Company entered an Investor Relations and Consulting Agreement (Consulting Agreement) with Market Street Investor Relations, LLC (Consultant). The Company engaged the Consultant to provide certain investor relations and public relations services on behalf of the Company as are more fully described in the Consulting Agreement. The term of the Consulting Agreement is for a period of six-months from the effective date and may be extended for an additional six-month term. In lieu of cash payments for the services rendered by the Consultant, the Company issued the Consultant a three year Class A common stock purchase warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of the Companys Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The warrants vest based on specific milestones described within the Consulting Agreement. The value of the warrants at the date of grant was $1,390,264. At the direction of the Consultant, a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares was issued to the Consultant and a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares was issued to Steve Antebi (a principal stockholder in the Company). The Company also advanced the Consultant $100,000 on the effective date to cover anticipated expenses regarding the services to be performed by the Consultant. The Company is recognizing the value of the services rendered over the term of the Consulting Agreement.
Reverse Stock Split
On September 20, 2016, the Company completed a reverse stock split. The principal reason for the reverse stock split was to facilitate the up-listing of our Class A common stock to the NASDAQ Capital Market which has a minimum market (bid) price requirement for new applicants of $4.00 per share.
After giving effect to the reverse stock split, each five shares of the Company's Class A common stock issued and outstanding, or held as treasury shares, immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split became one share of its Class A common stock on the effective date of the reverse stock split. No fractional shares of Class A common stock were issued to any stockholder and all fractional shares which might otherwise be issuable because of the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. On the effective date of the reverse stock split, all outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock were proportionally adjusted based upon the split ratio and became exercisable into one-fifth of the number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock as it was prior to the reverse stock split at an exercise price which is five times the exercise price prior to the reverse stock split.
After the effective date of the reverse stock split, each certificate representing shares of pre-reverse stock split Class A common stock was deemed to represent one-fifth of a share of the post-reverse stock split Class A common stock, subject to rounding for fractional shares, and the records of the Company's transfer agent, Transfer Online, Inc., were adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split. Following the effective date of the reverse stock split, the share certificates representing the pre-reverse stock split Class A common stock continue to be valid for the appropriate number of shares of post-reverse stock split Class A common stock, adjusted for rounding.
These consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.
On October 13, 2016, the Company's Class A common stock began trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC under the symbol "SRAX."

NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We were obligated to Mr. Steel for contingent Earn Out Consideration of up to $8,000,000 that occurred through the acquisition of Steel Media, as described in Note 2 upon Steel Media meeting certain predefined measurements. The Company had initially recorded the liability at its present value of $6,584,042. Additional changes in the value were recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The Earn Out Consideration target was achieved for the first earn out period ended October 31, 2015 and on January 29, 2016 we paid Mr. Steel $4,000,000, of which $1,600,000 was paid in cash and the balance was paid through the issuance of 256,754 shares of our Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. As discussed in Note 2, during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company determined the Earn Out Consideration would not be achieved for the second earn out period ended October 31, 2016. The Company determined the fair value of the second Earn Out Consideration to be zero as of December 31, 2016 and recognized the write-off of the remaining Earn Out Consideration in the consolidated statement of operations.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the federal and state income tax rates in effect to the gross amounts of temporary differences and other tax attributes, such as net operating loss carry-forwards. In assessing if the deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which these deductible temporary differences reverse.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the valuation allowance decreased by $891,370 to $3,659,639. All of this increase was recorded to deferred tax expense with the remainder as an offset to deferred tax asset not previously recorded. The total valuation allowance results from the Companys estimate of its inability to recover its net deferred tax assets.
The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) was enacted on December 22, 2017. Under ASC 740, the impact of changes in tax law must be recorded in the financial statements in the reporting period that included the date of enactment. However, the SEC and the FASB both recognize that the magnitude of this law change will require extensive analysis and calculations to conform to the new provisions. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) on December 22, 2017. SAB 118 provides registrants with guidance on when and how to report the impact of the law change when not all necessary information is available. Due to the Companys valuation allowance, the TCJA is not expected to have an impact on the Companys financial statements this conclusion represents a provisional amount that will be finalized upon the filing of the Companys federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2017. The filing of this return will occur prior to the Companys year ending December 31, 2018 which is within the measurement period.
At December 31, 2017, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carry forwards, which are available to offset future taxable income, of approximately $14,255,934 and $16,653,491, respectively, both of which begin to expire in 2033 and 2032 respectively. These carry forwards 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 Companys effective tax rate.

NOTE 10 STOCK OPTIONS, AWARDS AND WARRANTS
2012, 2014 and 2016 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 600,000 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 600,000 shares of our Class A common stock for grants under this plan. On February 23, 2016, our board of directors approved the adoption of our 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the 2016 Plan) and reserved 600,000 shares of our Class A common stock for grants under this plan. The purpose of the 2012, 2014 and 2016 Plans is to 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, 2014 and 2016 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, 2014 and 2016 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, 2014 or 2016 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, 2014 or 2016 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016
NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
The Company leases offices under operating leases that have now expired and now operate on a month-to-month basis, with certain notice of termination provisions. Future minimum lease payments required under the operating leases amount to $67,515 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Rent expense for office space amounted to $211,680 and $206,312 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 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 due to 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 agreement. Such indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses.
Employment agreements
We have entered employment agreements with key employees. These agreements may include provisions for base salary, guaranteed and discretionary bonuses and option grants. The agreements may contain severance provisions if the employees are terminated without cause, as defined in the agreements.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive letters alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.
NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments.
The fair value of the 2017 Senior Secured Convertible Notes was $6,845,147 as of December 31, 2017. All Convertible Notes fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as their value is based on the credit worthiness of the Company, which is an unobservable input. The Company used a Tsiveriotis-Fernandes model to value the 2017 Senior Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2017.

SOCIAL REALITY, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Social Reality, Inc. ("Social Reality" or SRAX) is a Delaware corporation formed on August 2, 2011. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of Social Reality and its wholly owned subsidiary, Big Token, Inc. (BigToken) (collectively referred to as we, us, our or the Company). We are headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
We are a digital marketing and data management company that delivers our customers the ability to reach and engage with their target audiences
We derive our revenue from:
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Companys annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2017 condensed balance sheet data was derived from our financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three month and nine month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any future period.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018, as amended on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) as filed with the SEC on April 27, 2018.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Uses and Sources of Liquidity
Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our business, establish and develop new business units, development of internally used software and for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment. Our general, selling and administrative expenses increased from $3,659,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to $4,869,232 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our general, selling and administrative expenses increased from $11,395,454 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $14,342,601 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We generated net income of $19,325,038 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of $1,031,173 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. We generated net income of $12,717,573 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of $5,344,478 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,431,134. As of September 30, 2018, we had $14,423,573 in cash and cash equivalents and a surplus in working capital of $13,784,051 as compared to $1,017,299 in cash and cash equivalents and a surplus in working capital of $1,124,023 at December 31, 2017. We continue to face a challenging competitive environment and while we continue to focus on our overall profitability, including managing expenses, we reported losses and have historically funded our operations and investing activities with cash provided by financing activities. In late 2017, we announced several new initiatives intended to provide additional growth opportunities which launched in the third quarter of 2018. On August 6, 2018, we announced the completion of the sale of our SRAXmd product group in a transaction valued at up to $52.5 million.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017
(Unaudited)
Although we believe that the foregoing actions will assist with our liquidity needs during the 12 months following the issuance of the financial statements, there is no assurance that the outcome of our actions will result in liquidity. If we continue to experience operating losses, we may need to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity and/or debt securities. Although historically we have funded our operations through the sale of our debt and equity securities, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or that if such capital is raised, it will be on favorable terms. A failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our business, including our access to critical business services. Additionally, if we require additional capital and are not able to secure it, we may need to greatly curtail our current and planned business initiatives.
Effect of ASU No. 2017-11 on Previously Issued Financial Statements
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Part 1 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and Part 2 Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with Scope Exception (ASU No. 2017-11). Part 1 of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are provisions in certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ®. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.
The Company early adopted the guidance under ASU 2017-11 for the year end December 31, 2017, and recognized warrants issued in 2017 with a down round feature as equity. Adjustments to the Companys previously issued financial statements were required for the retrospective application of this standard. As such the financial statements for three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 have been reclassified to reflect the adoption of ASU 2017-11.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017
(Unaudited)
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed 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.
Use of Estimates
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these unaudited condensed 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 expense during the reporting periods. 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, other intangible assets, put rights and valuation of liabilities.
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 has adopted the new revenue recognition guidelines in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), commencing from the period under this report. The Company analyzes its contracts to assess that they are within the scope and in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, whether for goods and services or licensing, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company acts as a principal in revenue transactions as the Company is the primary obligor in the transactions. As such, 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 either a revenue-generating event or 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-through, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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 does not require collateral. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $51,103 and $59,703 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017
(Unaudited)
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 with financial institutions within the United States. The Company has not experienced any loss on these accounts. The balances are maintained in demand accounts to minimize risk.
At September 30, 2018, two customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance for a total of 43.7%.
At December 31, 2017, four customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance for a total of 59.5%.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Companys principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:
|
● |
Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
● |
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and |
|
● |
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value, generally estimated using the Black Scholes Merton model.
Goodwill and annual impairment testing period
Goodwill is comprised of the purchase price of business combinations in excess of the fair value assigned at acquisition to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually, or when events or changes in the business environment indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. The Company also has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads the Company to determine that it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that goodwill is impaired. If the Company chooses to first assess qualitative factors and it is determined that it is not more likely than not goodwill is impaired, the Company is not required to take further action to test for impairment. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform only the quantitative impairment test, which the Company may choose to do in some periods but not in others. The Company performs its annual impairment review as of December 31 st .

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017
(Unaudited)
The Company had historically performed its annual goodwill and impairment assessment on September 30 th of each year. Due to the seasonal and cyclical nature of advertising sales in general, timing of the Companys annual budgeting process, and the short-term nature of the Companys advertising sales contracts, it was determined that it would be more effective and efficient to conduct the annual impairment analysis instead at December 31 st of each year. This would also better align the Company with other advertising sales companies who also generally conduct this annual analysis in the fourth quarter. The Company changed the date for its impairment testing during the fourth quarter 2016. The Company does not believe this change had any material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and continues to evaluate potential interim impairment to goodwill consistent with its historical practices.
When evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill, management first assess a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company's products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of the Company's reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then proceed to a two-step impairment testing methodology using the income approach (discounted cash flow method).
In the first step of the two-step testing methodology, we compare the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined by its estimated discounted cash flows. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we then complete the second step of the impairment test to determine the amount of impairment to be recognized. In the second step, we estimate an implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to 100% of the assets and liabilities other than goodwill (including any unrecognized intangible assets). If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the difference in that period.
When required, we arrive at our estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology which includes estimates of future cash flows to be generated by specifically identified assets, as well as selecting a discount rate to measure the present value of those anticipated cash flows. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and includes making assumptions about projected growth rates, industry-specific factors, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.
The impairment charge represents the excess of the carrying amount of the goodwill recorded in the acquisition over the implied fair value of the goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is the residual fair value based on an income approach that utilized a discounted cash flow model based on revenue and profit forecasts. The Company performed its annual impairment test and no impairment of goodwill was recorded for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2017. No interim impairments have been recorded regarding its goodwill during the three months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017, respectively.
Long-lived Assets
Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time; and changes in the Company's business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
No impairments have been recorded regarding its identifiable intangible assets or other long-lived assets during the three months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
We use Accounting Standards Codification (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 4,948,354 common share equivalents at September 30, 2018 and 6,254,705 common share equivalents at September 30, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.
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 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.
Common stock awards
The Company grants common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value measurement date of these awards is generally the date the performance of services is complete. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.
Warrants
In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 11, Stockholders Equity .

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.
NOTE 3 IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, please refer to Recently Issued Accounting Standards as contained in Note 1 in the December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which is either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective transition method in the first quarter of 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company has established it only earns revenue from contracts with customers for advertising services. Therefore, the disclosure requirement to disaggregate revenue information is not material to the Companys current business model . These revenue contracts are generally short term in nature, and no more than one year maximum. The transaction price per contract is derived on pre-negotiated cost per thousand (CPM) impression basis. The Company recognizes its revenue from these contracts when it delivers the quantity of advertising impressions for the current period as stipulated in the customer contract. Once advertising impressions have been delivered, performance under these contracts is satisfied, and there is no ongoing obligation for the Company with regard to returns or warranty.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations - Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net , (ASU No. 2016-08) that clarifies how to apply revenue recognition guidance related to whether an entity is a principal or an agent. ASU No. 2016-08 clarifies that the analysis must focus on whether the entity has control of the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer and provides additional guidance about how to apply the control principle when services are provided and when goods or services are combined with other goods or services. The effective date for ASU No. 2016-08 is the same as the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09. ASU No. 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has performed an evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements, and given its revenue recognition practices already in place, this did not have a material impact on the Companys future presentation of consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate new revenue streams as they develop from future new product launches.
In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). The effective date for ASU 2017-13 is for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Part 1 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and Part 2 Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with Scope Exception (ASU No. 2017-11). Part 1 of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are provisions in certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ®. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We early adopted the proposed guidance under ASU 2017-11 for the year end December 31, 2017, and recognized warrants issued in the fourth quarter of 2017 with a down round feature as equity. Adjustments to the Companys previously issued financial statements were required for the retrospective application of this standard.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU No. 2017-04). ASU No. 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. A public business entity that is a SEC filer should adopt the amendments of ASU No. 2017-04 for its annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect any impact from the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (ASU No. 2016-16). ASU No. 2016-16 will require the tax effects of intercompany transactions, other than sales of inventory, to be recognized currently, eliminating an exception under current GAAP in which the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers are deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year, with earlier adoption permitted.
In connection with its financial instruments project, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments in September 2016 and ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities in January 2016.
· |
ASU No. 2016-13 introduces a new impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model that will replace the current incurred loss model and generally will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption in fiscal year 2020 permitted. |
· |
ASU No. 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other provisions, the new guidance requires the fair value measurement of investments in certain equity securities. For investments without readily determinable fair values, entities have the option to either measure these investments at fair value or at cost adjusted for changes in observable prices minus impairment. All changes in measurement will be recognized in net income. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year. Early adoption is not permitted, except for certain provisions relating to financial liabilities. |

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4 ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Sale of SRAXmd:
On August 6, 2018, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets related to our SRAXmd product line for aggregate consideration of up to $52,500,000. The purchase price consists of (i) $33,500,000 in cash, (ii) $10,000,000 worth of securities issued by the purchaser and (iii) an earn-out of up to $9,000,000 upon the SRAXmd product line achieving certain gross profit thresholds (the Earn-Out). A total of $762,500 of the purchase price was placed into escrow accounts subject to future release.
Given the Company will retain an ongoing equity interest in the purchaser of SRAXmd, the Company evaluated the potential existence of variable interest entity accounting treatment under ASC 810. Given the Company had no imput into the design of the purchasing entity, is not a primary beneficiary of the purchaser entity and has no ongoing role in management or governance other than that of a passive, minority investor, the Company determined that the presence of a variable interest entity was not present.
Assets transferred to the purchaser in the transaction included $3,536,503 of accounts receivable and $216,479 of prepaid expense items. The purchaser also assumed $191,164 of accounts payable obligations and $333,014 of additional accrued expense items. The Company received a credit to the purchase price of $228,803 for over-delivery of working capital beyond a contractual $3 million working capital target. A final working capital calculation will be determined by the parties no later than 120 days following closing of the transaction.
The Company paid $1,709,500 of advisory fees and $351,089 of legal fees at closing. An additional $164,028 was also paid by the Company at closing for insurance premiums and escrow related fees.
The Company recorded a gain on sale of assets totaling $23,978,389. Less escrow holdbacks and other reimbursements, the Company received net proceeds from the transaction totaling $22,980,824.
Components of operating results for the SRAXmd product group have not been classified as discontinued operations. Pursuant to guidance in ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, we noted that the SRAXmd product line was not a reportable segment or a separate operating segment and nor was it deemed to be a strategic shift. Under this guidance, an entity presents a disposal as a discontinued operation if it represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results. ASC Topic 205-20-45 does not clearly define on a quantitative basis as to how an entity would establish whether a component, business activity is individually significant. Additionally, the sale of the SRAXmd product line did not qualify under ASC Topic 360-10-35 to 45 for determination of the gain or loss. The sale of the SRAXmd product group does not constitute a shift in our corporate strategy or purpose as we continue to operate a diversified product group of digital advertising tools, as we have done since inception in 2010. The core technology and other key elements of the SRAX advertising platform will remain owned by us, with certain license agreements for use of our software granted to the purchaser as part of the transaction. SRAXmd was a product developed from our core technology. In addition to the assets, 12 of our existing employees also transferred.

SRAXmd, like each of the remaining SRAX product groups/offerings, has not historically operated as a discrete business entity or division within our company. As such, it along with the other product groups rely upon shared employees and a shared technology platform to operate. Furthermore, certain advertisers may also purchase advertising across multiple product lines, making individual product financial statements more difficult to segregate. Due to its in-house organic development, SRAXmd also has no separately capitalized assets that may be presented as held for sale on our balance sheet.
Based on managements best estimates, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the unaudited results for revenue and cost of sales attributable to the SRAXmd product group are estimated below:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company capitalized $250,703 and $701,871, respectively, of costs associated with the development of internal-use software, including directly related payroll costs.
On August 17, 2017, the Company acquired software from Leapfrog Media Trading in exchange for 200,000 shares of Class A common stock and 350,000 warrants with a term of five years and an exercise price of $3.00. This software is currently being integrated into our platform and we estimate launching by December 31, 2018. No other assets, customers, employees, intangibles or business operations were acquired in this transaction.
In connection with a separation and release agreement with Mr. Steel, the Company agreed to reduce the remaining period of the non-compete agreement with Mr. Steel, which was entered into in connection with the acquisition of Steel Media, to a period of eighteen months from the date of his separation from the Company. Accordingly, the Company wrote off $468,750 in value of the non-compete agreement during 2017.
Amortization expense was $37,800 for intellectual property, $17,362 for the non-compete agreement and $106,982 for the internally developed software for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Amortization expense was $37,800 for intellectual property, $52,083 for the non-compete agreement, and $42,610 for the internally developed software for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Amortization expense was $113,400 for intellectual property, $121,528 for the non-compete agreement, and $277,380 for the internally developed software for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Amortization expense was $113,400 for intellectual property, $156,249 for the non-compete agreement, and $89,049 for the internally developed software for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Financing and Security Agreement with FastPay

NOTE 9 PUT WARRANT LIABILITY
As more fully described in Note 11, we issued Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants in connection with a securities purchase agreement dated January 4, 2017. At issuance, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants were accounted for utilizing ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. We incurred a liability for the estimated fair value of derivative warrant instruments. The estimated fair value of the derivative warrant instruments was calculated using the Black-Scholes fair value option-pricing model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance, with the valuation offset against additional paid in capital, and at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recorded as gains or losses on revaluation in other income (expense).
We identified embedded derivatives related to the warrants issued. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that we record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the warrants and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. At the inception of the warrants, we determined a fair value of $3,038,344 of the embedded derivatives.
On January 4, 2017, the date of inception, the fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Black-Scholes Model based on a risk-free interest rate of 2% for both the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants, an expected term of 5.5 years for the Series A Warrants and 5 years for the Series B Warrants, an expected volatility of 110% for the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants and a 0% dividend yield for the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants, respectively.
Fair value at September 30, 2017 was estimated to be $1,143,781 and based on a risk-free interest rate of 1.875% for both the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants, an expected term of 5.25 years for the Series A Warrants and 4.75 years for the Series B Warrants, an expected volatility of 110% for the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants and a 0% dividend yield for the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants, respectively.
During the period ended September 30, 2017, the decrease in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability of $1,894,563 was recorded as a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability.
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Part 1 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and Part 2 Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with Scope Exception (ASU No. 2017-11). Part 1 of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are provisions in certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ®. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

NOTE 10 SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, NET
In April 2017, we sold an aggregate of : (i) $5,000,000 in principal of 12.5% secured convertible debentures; and (ii) five-year Series A warrants representing the right to acquire up to 833,337 shares of our Class A common stock.
The debentures, which mature three years from the date of issuance, pay interest in cash at the rate of 12.5% per annum, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on July 1, 2017. Our obligations under the debentures are secured by a second position security interest in our accounts receivable and a first position security interest in the balance of our assets, and we are subject to continued compliance with certain financial covenants. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our Class A common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the debentures. Subject to our compliance with certain equity conditions set forth in the debentures, upon 20 trading days' notice to the holders we have the right to redeem the debentures in cash at a 120% premium during the first year and a 110% premium during the remaining term of the debentures. Upon any optional redemption, we are obligated to issue the holder Series B warrants, the terms of which will be identical to the Series A warrants, to purchase a number of shares of our Class A common stock equal to 50% of the conversion shares issuable on an as-converted basis as if the principal amount of the debentures had been converted immediately prior to the optional redemption. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. Effective October 29, 2018, we provided the debenture holders with notice of our intent to optionally redeem the debentures.
The Series A warrants are initially exercisable at $3.00 per share and, if at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance the underlying shares of our Class A common stock are not covered by an effective resale registration statement, the Series A warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis. The conversion price of the Debentures and the exercise price of the Debenture Warrants are subject to adjustments upon certain events, including stock splits, stock dividends, subsequent equity transactions (other than specified exempt issuances), subsequent rights offerings, and fundamental transactions, subject to a floor of $1.40 per share. If we fail to timely deliver the shares of our Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Series A warrants we will be subject to certain buy-in provisions. The debentures and Series A warrants, also contain certain beneficial ownership limitations.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreements with Ms. DeRuggiero, her employment agreement was terminated, and she became a consultant to the Company. The term of the consultancy expired upon the sale of the assets comprising SRAXmd. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we paid Ms. DeRuggiero a total of $5.2 million at closing which also included repurchase of 514,000 shares of our Class A common stock.
On April 2, 2018, we issued a common stock purchase warrant to Kristoffer Nelson, our Chief Operating Officer and a member of our board of directors. The option entitles Mr. Nelson to purchase 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share of $5.78, has a term of three years and vests quarterly over a three (3) year period.
On September 11, 2018, we issued a common stock purchase warrant to Joseph P. Hannan, our Chief Financial Officer.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017
(Unaudited)
Rent expense for office space amounted to $69,484 and $35,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Rent expense for office space amounted to $206,552 and $177,908 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 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 due to 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 agreement. Such indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses.
Employment agreements
We have entered employment agreements with key 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 14 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments.
The fair value of the 2017 Senior Secured Convertible Notes was $6,545,158 as of September 30, 2018. The fair value of the Convertible Notes was $6,845,158 as of December 31, 2017. All Convertible Notes fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as their value is based on the credit worthiness of the Company, which is an unobservable input. The Company used a Tsiveriotis - Fernandes model to value the 2017 Senior Convertible Notes as of September 30, 2018.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Social Reality, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Stand-alone Carve Out Financial Statements of BigToken, Inc., (a wholly-owned subsidiary and a Carve Out of Social Reality, Inc.) as of December 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for the period from December 14, 2017 (inception date) and ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the stand-alone financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017, and the stand-alone results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from December 14, 2017 and ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Carve Out Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 1, BigToken, Inc., (BigToken) is an integrated business of SRI and is not an independent stand-alone entity. The stand-alone financial statements of BigToken reflect the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses directly attributable to BigToken, as well as allocations deemed reasonable by management, to present the financial position, results of operations, changes in invested equity and cash flows of BigToken on a stand-alone basis and do not necessarily reflect the stand-alone financial position, results of operations, changes in invested equity and cash flows of BigToken in the future or what they would have been had BigToken been a separate and independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Big Token, Inc. (we, us, "BIG", BigToken, or the Company) is a Delaware corporation formed on December 14, 2017, and the fiscal year end is December 31, 2017. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Social Reality, Inc., and has no direct subsidiaries. We are headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
We are a pre-revenue stage business, currently in an open Beta stage of launch of the BigToken application. BIGToken is designed for consumers to own, manage, and earn from their digital identity and data. Consumers are rewarded for providing their data and completing other activities in the BIGToken platform The Company anticipates it will begin generating revenue in the third quarter of 2019, once a significant user base is developed on the BigToken platform, through the sale of advertising to advertising agencies and brands. Currently the working capital needs of Big Token are funded by the parents.
Basis of Presentation
These Financial Statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Social Reality, Inc. (SRI) (NASDAQ: SRAX). The Stand-alone Financial Statements reflect the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows as it was historically managed, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Our stand-alone Financial Statements does not fully include expense allocations for: (1) certain corporate functions historically provided by SRI including, but not limited to, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, ethics and compliance, and any shared services; (2) employee benefits and incentives; and (3) share-based compensation. These expenses have not been allocated to us. Since our formation on December 14, 2017, there were no material allocation of general and administrative expenses during the period from December 14, 2017 to December 31, 2017.
Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.
SRI uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations, excluding debt if we are the legal obligor. SRI funds our operating and investing activities as needed. Cash transfers to and from SRIs cash management accounts are reflected in intercompany payable to SRI.
The cash and cash equivalents held by SRI at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to us and therefore were not allocated to us for any of the periods presented. Any SRI third-party debt, and the related interest expense has not been allocated to us for any of the periods presented as we were not the legal obligor of the debt and were not directly attributable to our business.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Uses and Sources of Liquidity
BIGTokens primary need for liquidity is currently to fund working capital requirements of our business and the development of the BIGToken platform. Once the BIGToken platform is complete, we anticipate generating revenue through the platform. Our general, selling and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $209,181. We generated a net loss of $209,623 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
At December 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $209,623. We had a working capital deficit of $220,677 at December 31, 2017.

BIG TOKEN, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We are an early stage company facing a challenging competitive environment. While we continue to build out our platform to begin targeting revenue generating opportunities, we reported losses and have historically funded all of our operations and investing activities with cash provided by our parent company, Social Reality, Inc. We anticipate that our parent company will fund our operational requirements for the next 12 months. We expect our parent company will fund our operations for the next twelve months through cash on hand, cash generated from its core operations and potential sales of other non-core assets. SRI had cash and equivalents of 14,423,573 as of September 30, 2018.
Use of Estimates
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these 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 expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Companys critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:
|
(i) |
Assumption as a going concern and liquidity : Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business; |
|
(ii) |
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets : Management assumes that the realization of the Companys net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred a loss and is pre-revenue, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors. The Company has relied on support from its parent company to meet its operating and working capital needs. |
|
(iii) |
Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of intangible assets : Management estimates expected life of the intangible assets, which is internally developed software |
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on their experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company held no financial instruments as of December 31, 2017.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no cash accounts. In the future, the Company will consider all short-term highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Concentration of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Supplier Risk
The Company does not have any bank accounts as of December 31, 2017.
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a.) affiliates of the Company (Affiliate means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b.) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 8251015, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c.) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d.) principal owners of the Company; (e.) management of the Company; (f.) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g.) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a.) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b.) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c.) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d.) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Internal use software.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance, we capitalize application development stage costs associated with the development of new functionality for internal-use software and software developed related to our planned product offerings. The capitalized costs are then amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three to five years, and are included in property and equipment in the accompanying balance sheet.
The Company's intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired. Amortization expense of intangible assets was not material during the period ended December 31, 2017.
Digital Currency Assets
Digital Currency Assets are included in current assets in the balance sheet. Digital Currency Assets are recorded at cost less impairment.
An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.
Realized gain (loss) on sale of Digital Currency Assets are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The Company had no realized gain or loss on sale of digital currency during the period ended December 31, 2017.
The Company assesses impairment of Digital Currency Assets quarterly if the fair value of Digital Currency Assets is less than its cost basis. The Company recognizes impairment losses on Digital Currency Assets caused by decreases in fair value using the average U.S. dollar spot price of the related Digital Asset as of each impairment date. Such impairment in the value of Digital Currency Assets are recorded as a component of costs and expenses in our statements of operations. There was no impairment to Digital Currency Assets during the period ended December 31, 2017.
Long-lived Assets
Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time; and changes in the Company's business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
No impairments have been recorded regarding its identifiable intangible assets or other long-lived assets during the period ended December 31, 2017.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
F-75
BIG TOKEN, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended December 31, 2017, the Company had no revenue or cost of sales.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
We use Accounting Standards Codification (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 no common share equivalents at December 31, 2017.
Income taxes
Our income taxes as presented are calculated on a separate tax return basis and may not be reflective of the results that would have occurred on a standalone basis. Our operations have historically been included in SRIs U.S. federal and state tax returns.
We do not maintain taxes payable to/from our parent and we are deemed to settle the annual current tax balances immediately with the legal tax-paying entities in the respective jurisdictions, if applicable. These settlements are reflected as changes in parent company investment.
We determine the provision for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred income taxes represent the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we look to the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, the feasibility of tax planning strategies and estimated future taxable income. The valuation allowance can be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and changes to future taxable income estimates.
We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company did not recognize any tax benefits in the stand-alone Financial Statements because tax benefits are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions
The Company discloses tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions pursuant to the ASC Paragraph 740-10-50-15. Major tax jurisdictions generally have the right to examine and audit the previous three or four years of tax returns filed.
Taxable loss generated by BigToken has been included in the consolidated federal income tax returns of SRI and its state income tax returns. SRI has allocated income tax/loss to Big Token in the accompanying stand-alone financial statements as if Big Token were held in a separate corporation which filed separate income tax returns. SRI believes the assumptions underlying its allocation of income taxes on a separate return basis are reasonable. However, the amounts allocated for income taxes in the accompanying stand-alone financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the actual amount of income taxes that would have been recorded had Big Token been a completely separate stand-alone entity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cash Flows Reporting
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, which classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (the Indirect Method) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments
Subsequent Events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
NOTE 3 IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Standards Adopted
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Part 1 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and Part 2 Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with Scope Exception (ASU No. 2017-11). Part 1 of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are provisions in certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ®. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We early adopted the proposed guidance under ASU 2017-11 for the year end December 31, 2017.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU No. 2017-04). ASU No. 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. A public business entity that is a SEC filer should adopt the amendments of ASU No. 2017-04 for its annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect any impact from the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (ASU No. 2016-16). ASU No. 2016-16 will require the tax effects of intercompany transactions, other than sales of inventory, to be recognized currently, eliminating an exception under current GAAP in which the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers are deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year, with earlier adoption permitted.
F-77
BIG TOKEN, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with its financial instruments project, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments in September 2016 and ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities in January 2016.
|
· |
ASU No. 2016-13 introduces a new impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model that will replace the current incurred loss model and generally will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption in fiscal year 2020 permitted. |
|
|
|
|
· |
ASU No. 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other provisions, the new guidance requires the fair value measurement of investments in certain equity securities. For investments without readily determinable fair values, entities have the option to either measure these investments at fair value or at cost adjusted for changes in observable prices minus impairment. All changes in measurement will be recognized in net income. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year. Early adoption is not permitted, except for certain provisions relating to financial liabilities. |
In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard (ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)) , effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years. The guidance may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The new guidance will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP; however, it will not impact us because we are a pre-revenue company. When the Company does start generating revenue, it will follow the new revenue recognition guidance, accordingly the adoption will have no impact.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (ASU 2018-15), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this Update. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this updated standard will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Overview
SRI and its subsidiaries provide certain management and administrative services to BigToken. The costs of such services are reflected in appropriate categories in the accompanying stand-alone statements of operations for the period ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, SRI performs cash management functions on behalf of BigToken. BigToken does not have separate cash accounts as of December 31, 2017. As a result, all of our charges and cost allocations covered by these centralized cash management functions were deemed to have been paid by us to SRI, in cash, during the period in which the cost was recorded in the stand-alone financial statements.
We consider all of our transactions with SRI to be financing transactions, which are presented as net cash received from SRI in the accompanying stand-alone statements of cash flows.
Net Contributions from SRI
The significant components of the net cash contributions from SRI for the period ending December 31, 2017, were as follows:

Contributions from (distributions to) SRI are generally recorded based on actual costs incurred, without a markup.
The basis of allocation to BigToken, for the items described above, is as follows:
Expense allocations SRI centrally administers and incurs the costs associated with certain functions on a centralized basis, including programming contract administration and programming payments, payroll and related tax and benefits processing, and management of any other administrative costs, and allocates the associated costs to BigToken. The costs incurred have been allocated to BigToken based on the actual amounts processed.
Accounts payable and other payments All cash disbursements for trade and other accounts payable, and accrued expenses, are funded centrally by a subsidiary of SRI. Transactions processed for trade and other accounts payable, and accrued expenses, associated with the operations of BigToken are reflected net in net cash contributions from (distributions to) SRI in the accompanying stand-alone statements.
Intangible assets and digital currency transfers Certain assets are internally developed centrally by SRI, and are allocated or transferred to BigToken. BigToken is charged for these assets based on historical cost value paid by SRI or the fair value of the digital currency on the date of transfer.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated from operations, based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the periods presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.
As of December 31, 2017, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward in the amount of $209,623. The NOLs will begin expiring in 2037.
The provision for Federal and State income tax consists of the following:

A valuation allowance has been recorded on the state carryforwards because the realizability of such tax benefits on a separate return basis is not more likely than not. The federal net operating loss carryforwards have not been fully utilized in the consolidated federal income tax returns of SRI.
NOTE 9 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including accounts payable, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments.
NOTE 10 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC 855, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2017 through the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Big Token, Inc. (we, us, "BIG", BIGToken, or the Company) is a Delaware corporation formed on December 14, 2017. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Social Reality, Inc., and has no direct subsidiaries. We are headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
We are a pre-revenue stage business, currently in an open Beta stage of launch of the BIGToken application. BIGToken is designed for consumers to own, manage, and earn from their digital identity and data. Consumers are rewarded for providing their data and completing other activities in the BIGToken platform The Company anticipates it will begin generating revenue in the third quarter of 2019, once a significant user base is developed on the BIGToken platform, through the sale of advertising to advertising agencies and brands. Currently the working capital needs of Big Token are funded by the parents.
Basis of Presentation
These Financial Statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Social Reality, Inc. (SRI) (NASDAQ: SRAX). The Stand-alone Financial Statements reflect the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows as it was historically managed, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Companys annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2017 condensed balance sheet data was derived from our financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three month and nine months period ended September 30, 2018. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any future period. The December 31, 2017 financial statements of Big Token, Inc. are included in this S-1.
Our stand-alone Financial Statements does not fully include expense allocations for: (1) certain corporate functions historically provided by SRI including, but not limited to, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, ethics and compliance, and any shared services; (2) employee benefits and incentives; and (3) share-based compensation. These expenses have not been allocated to us. Since our formation on December 14, 2017, there were no material allocation of general and administrative expenses during the period from December 14, 2017 to December 31, 2017.
Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.
SRI uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations, excluding debt if we are the legal obligor. SRI funds our operating and investing activities as needed. Cash transfers to and from SRIs cash management accounts are reflected in intercompany payable to SRI.
The cash and cash equivalents held by SRI at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to us and therefore were not allocated to us for any of the periods presented. Any SRI third-party debt, and the related interest expense has not been allocated to us for any of the periods presented as we were not the legal obligor of the debt and were not directly attributable to our business.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Uses and Sources of Liquidity
BIGTokens primary need for liquidity is currently to fund working capital requirements of our business and the development of the BIGToken platform. Once the BIGToken platform is complete, we anticipate generating revenue through the platform. Our general, selling and administrative expenses increased from $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to $522,088 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our general, selling and administrative expenses increased from $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $1,435,316 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We generated a net loss of $533,042 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. We generated a net loss of $1,461,257 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
At September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,670,881. As of September 30, 2018, we had $0 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $1,804,355 as compared to $0 in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $220,677 at December 31, 2017.
We are an early stage company facing a challenging competitive environment. While we continue to build out our platform to begin targeting revenue generating opportunities, we reported losses and have historically funded all of our operations and investing activities with cash provided by our parent company, Social Reality, Inc. We anticipate that our parent company will fund our operational requirements for the next 12 months. We expect our parent company will fund our operations for the next twelve months through cash on hand, cash generated from its core operations and potential sales of other non-core assets. SRI had cash and equivalents of 14,423,573 as of September 30, 2018.
Use of Estimates
The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these unaudited condensed 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 expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Companys critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:
|
(i) |
Assumption as a going concern and liquidity : Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business; |
|
(ii) |
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets : Management assumes that the realization of the Companys net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred a loss and is pre-revenue, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors. The Company has relied on support from its parent company to meet its operating and working capital needs. |
|
(iii) |
Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of intangible assets : Management estimates expected life of the intangible assets, which is internally developed software |
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
F-86
BIG TOKEN, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017
(Unaudited)
Management bases its estimates on their experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company held no financial instruments as of December 31, 2017.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no cash accounts. In the future, the Company will consider all short-term highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Supplier Risk
The Company does not have any bank accounts as of September 30, 2018.
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a.) affiliates of the Company (Affiliate means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b.) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 8251015, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c.) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d.) principal owners of the Company; (e.) management of the Company; (f.) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g.) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a.) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b.) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c.) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d.) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Internal use software.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance, we capitalize application development stage costs associated with the development of new functionality for internal-use software and software developed related to our planned product offerings. The capitalized costs are then amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three to five years, and are included in property and equipment in the accompanying balance sheet.
The Company's intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $10,954 and $20,681 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018.
Digital Currency Assets
Digital Assets are included in current assets in the balance sheet. Digital Assets are recorded at cost less impairment.
An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.
Realized gain (loss) on sale of Digital Assets are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The Company had no realized gain or loss on sale of digital currency during the period ended September 30, 2018.
The Company assesses impairment of Digital Assets quarterly if the fair value of digital assets is less than its cost basis. The Company recognizes impairment losses on Digital Assets caused by decreases in fair value using the average U.S. dollar spot price of the related Digital Asset as of each impairment date. Such impairment in the value of Digital Assets are recorded as a component of costs and expenses in our statements of operations. There was an impairment loss of $5,260 related to Digital Assets during the period ended September 30, 2018.

Long-lived Assets
Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time; and changes in the Company's business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
No impairments have been recorded regarding its identifiable intangible assets or other long-lived assets during the three months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company followed guidance contained in Topic 606 (FASB ASC 606). The core principle of Topic 606 (FASB ASC 606) is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revenue recognition guidance contained in Topic 606, to follow the five-step revenue recognition model along with other guidance impacted by this standard: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transportation price; (4) allocate the transportation price; (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
For the period ended September 30, 2018, the Company had no revenue or cost of sales.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
We use Accounting Standards Codification (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 no common share equivalents at September 30, 2018.
Cash Flows Reporting
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, which classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (the Indirect Method) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments
Subsequent Events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

NOTE 3 IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Standards Adopted
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Part 1 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and Part 2 Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with Scope Exception (ASU No. 2017-11). Part 1 of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are provisions in certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of ASU No. 2017-11 addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ®. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect any impact from the adoption of this standard on its unaudited condensed financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU No. 2017-04). ASU No. 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. A public business entity that is a SEC filer should adopt the amendments of ASU No. 2017-04 for its annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect any impact from the adoption of this standard on its unaudited condensed financial statements.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (ASU No. 2016-16). ASU No. 2016-16 will require the tax effects of intercompany transactions, other than sales of inventory, to be recognized currently, eliminating an exception under current GAAP in which the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers are deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year, with earlier adoption permitted.
In connection with its financial instruments project, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments in September 2016 and ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities in January 2016.
|
· |
ASU No. 2016-13 introduces a new impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model that will replace the current incurred loss model and generally will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption in fiscal year 2020 permitted. |
|
|
|
|
· |
ASU No. 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other provisions, the new guidance requires the fair value measurement of investments in certain equity securities. For investments without readily determinable fair values, entities have the option to either measure these investments at fair value or at cost adjusted for changes in observable prices minus impairment. All changes in measurement will be recognized in net income. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year. Early adoption is not permitted, except for certain provisions relating to financial liabilities. |

(Unaudited)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its unaudited condensed financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard (ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)) , effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years. The guidance may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The new guidance will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP; however, it will not impact us because we are a pre-revenue company. When the Company does start generating revenue, it will follow the new revenue recognition guidance, accordingly the adoption to have no impact.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (ASU 2018-15), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this Update. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this updated standard will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

NOTE 6 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Overview
SRI and its subsidiaries provide certain management and administrative services to BIGToken. The costs of such services are reflected in appropriate categories in the accompanying stand-alone statements of operations for the period ended September 30, 2018. Additionally, SRI performs cash management functions on behalf of BIGToken. BIGToken does not have separate cash accounts as of September 30, 2018. As a result, all of our charges and cost allocations covered by these centralized cash management functions were deemed to have been paid by us to SRI, in cash, during the period in which the cost was recorded in the stand-alone financial statements.
We consider all of our transactions with SRI to be financing transactions, which are presented as net cash received from SRI in the accompanying stand-alone statements of cash flows.
Net Contributions from SRI
The significant components of the net cash contributions from SRI for the period ending September 30, 2018, were as follows:

Contributions from (distributions to) SRI are generally recorded based on actual costs incurred, without a markup.
The basis of allocation to BIGToken, for the items described above, is as follows:
Expense allocations SRI centrally administers and incurs the costs associated with certain functions on a centralized basis, including programming contract administration and programming payments, payroll and related tax and benefits processing, and management of any other administrative costs, and allocates the associated costs to BIGToken. The costs incurred have been allocated to BIGToken based on the actual amounts processed.
Accounts payable and other payments All cash disbursements for trade and other accounts payable, and accrued expenses, are funded centrally by SRI. Transactions processed for trade and other accounts payable, and accrued expenses, associated with the operations of BIGToken are reflected net in net cash contributions from (distributions to) SRI in the accompanying stand-alone statements.
Intangible assets and digital currency transfers Certain assets are internally developed centrally by SRI, and are allocated or transferred to BIGToken. BIGToken is charged for these assets based on historical cost value incurred by SRI or the fair value of the digital currency on the date of transfer.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, or DGCL, allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase or redemption in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the corporations request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies if (i) such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (ii) such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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 reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses (including attorneys fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties to the corporation, unless a court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.
Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director who willfully and negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time the action occurred or immediately after the absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
Our certificate of incorporation states that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director.
II-1
Our bylaws provide that we shall, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, indemnify any person who was or is made a party or threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was our director or officer or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, or as a controlling person of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer, or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, against all expenses, liability or loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Our bylaws also provide that we may enter into one or more agreements with any director, officer, employee or agent of ours, or any person serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, that provides for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if our board of directors so determines, greater than, those provided for in such bylaws.
We maintain a liability insurance policy for our directors and officers, subject to certain exclusions.

ITEM 16. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES.
See Exhibit Index beginning on page II-7 of this registration statement.
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 15 of this registration statement or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, 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 hereunder, 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
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; |
II-4
|
(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 a 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, 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. |
II-5
