First Quarter 2014 Event
In January of 2014:
·
Raised an additional $1.5 Million of financing for the company at $1.50 Per Share
·
Transitioned off of our reliance of the Google APIs and launched our own RTB platform. During the first quarter of 2014 we made this transition, which caused downtime between ending our reliance on Google ADX and launching our proprietary platform. This transition, which has now been completed caused a temporary reduction in revenue in our first quarter 2014.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure Adjusted EBITDA
Social Realitys management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various financial metrics. In addition to the company's GAAP results, management also considers the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about the Social Reality's operating results. The tables below provide a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, plus stock-based compensation and interest expense.
