NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Social Reality, Inc. ("Social Reality", "we", "us" or the "Company") is a Delaware corporation formed on August 2, 2011. Effective January 1, 2012 we acquired all of the member interests and operations of Social Reality, LLC, a California limited liability company formed on August 14, 2009, which began business in May of 2010, in exchange for 2,465,753 shares of our Class A and Class B common stock. The former members of Social Reality, LLC owned all of our common stock after the acquisition.

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


·	sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;
·	sales of media inventory owned by our publishing partners through real-time bidding, or RTB, exchanges;
·	sale and licensing of our SRAX Social platform and related media; and,
·	creation of custom platforms for buying media on SRAX for large brands.

The core elements of this business are:


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

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

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

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

We offer our customers a number of pricing options including cost-per-thousand-impression, or "CPM", whereby our customers pay based on the number of times the target audience is exposed to the advertisement, and on a monthly service fee.

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

We are headquartered in Los Angeles, California.

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

Basis of Presentation

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

These interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any future period. All references to September 30, 2016 and 2015 in these footnotes are unaudited.

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, 2015, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2016.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain items have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Presentation

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.

As a result of 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 in connection with the reverse stock split and all fractional shares which might otherwise be issuable as a result 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 condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.

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

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.

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

Use of Estimates

GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these 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 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; no significant Company obligations remain; collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured; and the fees are fixed or determinable. The Company acts as a principal in 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 income statement.

Accounts Receivable

Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Management periodically assesses the Company's accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $231,695 and $135,442 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

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

Concentration of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Supplier Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in the United States. The balances in the United States held at any one financial institution are generally in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. The uninsured cash bank balances were approximately $4.2 million at September 30, 2016. The Company has not experienced any loss on these accounts. The balances are maintained in demand accounts to minimize risk.

At September 30, 2016, two customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, for a total of 50%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 one customer accounted for 49% of total revenue. At September 30, 2015, two customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, for a total of 61%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 one customer accounted for 50% of total revenue.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Property and equipment

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

Intangible assets

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

Business Combinations

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

Goodwill and change to annual impairment testing period

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

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

The Company has 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 Company’s annual budgeting process, and the short-term nature of the Company’s 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.

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

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

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

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we determined that a portion of the goodwill assigned to Steel Media acquisition has become impaired. Accordingly, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $670,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 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 using discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts. No additional impairment of goodwill has been recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

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

Long-lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; a significant decline in the Company's stock price for a sustained period of time; and changes in the Company's business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairments have been recorded in either the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015.

Loss Per Share

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

There were 2,912,069 common share equivalents at September 30, 2016 and 2,796,803 at September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

Income Taxes

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

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

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

Stock-Based Compensation

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

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

Business Segments

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

Liquidity

The Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2016 of $(13.0) million. As of September 30, 2016, we had approximately $4.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $(9.4) million as compared to $(1.1) million in cash and cash equivalents and a deficit in working capital of $(7.0) million at December 31, 2015. The Company believes it has established an ongoing source of revenue that is sufficient to cover its operating costs over the next twelve months. In addition, management plans to continue as a going concern could also include raising additional capital through borrowing and/or additional sales of equity or equity linked securities.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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.

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

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606), which amends certain aspects of the FASB’s 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 is still currently evaluating the full impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. However, given revenue recognition practices already in place, it does not appear likely that this will have a material impact on the Company’s future presentation of consolidated financial statements.

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 this ASU on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to our 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 financial statements.

Acquisition of Steel Media

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

As consideration for the purchase of Steel Media, we agreed to pay Mr. Steel up to $20.0 million, consisting of: (i) a cash payment at closing of $7.5 million; (ii) a cash payment of $2.0 million which is being held in escrow to satisfy certain indemnification obligations to the extent such arise under the Stock Purchase Agreement; (iii) a one year secured subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $2.5 million (the "Note") which was secured by 477,373 shares of our Class A common stock (the "Escrow Shares"); and (iv) earn out payments of up to $8 million (the "Earn Out Consideration").

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 $4.0 million, of which $1.6 million 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 Earn Out Consideration would not be achieved for the second earn out period ended October 31, 2016. As a result, the Company reversed the second earn out liability of $3.5 million during nine months ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2016, we did not record a liability for the Earn Out Consideration. At December 31, 2015, we recorded $7.6 million associated with the first and second earn out periods.

Acquisition of Five Delta, Inc.

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

On October 30, 2014 (the "Financing Agreement Closing Date"), the Company entered into a financing agreement (the "Financing Agreement") with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and holders of notes and warrants issued thereunder (the "Agent"). The Financing Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $20.0 million to be evidenced by notes issued thereunder, which are secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (including Steel Media) and a pledge of 100% of the equity interests of each domestic subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the terms of a pledge and security agreement (the "Pledge and Security Agreement") entered into by the Company on the Financing Agreement Closing Date (which was joined by Steel Media immediately after the Company's acquisition of Steel Media). The Financing Agreement contains covenants limiting, among other things, indebtedness, liens, transfers or sales of assets, distributions or dividends, and merger or consolidation activity. The notes (the "Financing Notes") issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement, including the note issued to the lender thereunder in the original aggregate principal amount of $9.0 million on the Financing Agreement Closing Date (the "Initial Financing Note") and the subsequent notes described below, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) cash interest at a rate of 10% per annum and (2) payment-in-kind (PIK) interest at a rate of 4% per annum for the period commencing on the Financing Agreement Closing Date and extending through the last day of the calendar month during which the Company's financial statements for December 31, 2014 are delivered, and which PIK interest rate thereafter from time to time may be adjusted based on the ratio of the Company's consolidated indebtedness to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. If the Company achieves a reduction in the leverage ratio as described in the Financing Agreement, the PIK interest rate declines on a sliding scale from 4% to 2%. The Financing Notes issued under the Financing Agreement are scheduled to mature on October 30, 2017, with scheduled quarterly payment dates commencing December 31, 2014. Proceeds from the Initial Financing Note issued on the Financing Agreement Closing Date were used to finance, in part, the Company's acquisition of Steel Media as described in Note 2.

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

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

On July 6, 2015, we borrowed an additional $1.5 million pursuant to the Financing Agreement. The loan funded on July 8, 2015. In connection therewith, we issued a Senior Secured Term Note to the lender in the principal amount of $1.5 million. The Senior Secured Term Note has terms identical to the Initial Financing Note described above. The Senior Secured Term Note will mature on October 30, 2017. We used the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement for working capital.

On October 26, 2015, we borrowed an additional $1.4 million pursuant to the Financing Agreement. The loan funded on October 26, 2015. In connection therewith, we issued a Senior Secured Term Note to the lender in the principal amount of $1.4 million. The Senior Secured Term Note has terms identical to the Initial Financing Note described above. The Senior Secured Term Note will mature on October 30, 2017. We used the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement towards the payment of the Note due Richard Steel described in Note 2, and for working capital.

On January 26, 2016, we borrowed an additional $1.6 million pursuant to the financing agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC. The loan funded on January 28, 2016. In connection therewith, we issued a Senior Secured Term Note to the lender in the principal amount of $1.6 million. The Senior Secured Term Note has terms identical to the Initial Financing Note described above. The Senior Secured Term Note will mature on October 30, 2017. We used the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement as a portion of the payment to Mr. Richard Steel of the first year Earn Out Consideration described in Notes 2 and 6.

On February 16, 2016, we borrowed an additional $500,000 pursuant to the Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC. The loan funded on February 16, 2016. In connection therewith, we issued a Senior Secured Term Note to the lender in the principal amount of $500,000. The Senior Secured Term Note has terms identical to the Initial Financing Note described above. The Senior Secured Term Note will mature on October 30, 2017. We used the proceeds from this additional draw under the Financing Agreement as working capital.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we made principal payments of approximate $6.7 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, $206,287 and $102,250, respectively, were recorded as PIK interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, $447,737, and $279,216, respectively, were recorded as PIK interest expense.

Pursuant to the Financing Agreement dated October 31, 2014, the Company also issued to the lender thereunder, on the Financing Agreement Closing Date, a five-year warrant to purchase 580,000 shares of its Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (the "Financing Warrant"). The warrant holder may not, however, exercise the Financing Warrant for a number of shares of Class A common stock that would cause such holder to beneficially own shares of Class A common stock in excess of 4.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A common stock following such exercise. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrant and the exercise price therefor are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar corporate events. Pursuant to the Financing Warrant, the warrant holder has the right, at any time after the earlier of April 30, 2016 and the maturity date of the Financing Notes issued pursuant to the Financing Agreement, but prior to the date that is five years after the Financing Agreement Closing Date, to exercise its put right under the terms of the Financing Warrant, pursuant to which the warrant holder may sell to the Company, and the Company will purchase from the warrant holder, all or any portion of the Financing Warrant that has not been previously exercised. In connection with any exercise of this put right, the purchase price will be equal to an amount based upon the percentage of the Financing Warrant for which the put right is being exercised, multiplied by the lesser of (A) 50% of the total revenue for the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the trailing 12-month period ending with the Company's then-most recently completed fiscal quarter, and (B) $1.5 million. We have recorded the put liability at its present value of $1.5 million at September 30, 2016.

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

As part of the arrangements under the Financing Agreement, the Agent, Mr. Steel, and the Company and Steel Media (as borrowers under the Financing Agreement) have also entered into a subordination agreement (the "Subordination Agreement") under which Mr. Steel agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement, to subordinate to the lenders and holders of Financing Notes and the Financing Warrant issued under the Financing Agreement (i) certain obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness, including, without limitation, payments under the Note and payments of Earn Out Consideration, which may be owed to him by the Company; and (ii) during the time the Note was outstanding a put right we granted him if in the event of a default under the Note. As set forth above, the Note was paid in full in October 2015 and the put right was terminated upon such payment.

Activity for the put liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was:

We incurred a total of $3.1 million of costs related to the Financing Agreement. These costs will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, $250,100 and $297,242, respectively of debt issuance costs were amortized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, $816,705 and $(925,612), respectively of debt issuance costs were amortized. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, capitalized debt costs had a balance of $838,069 and $1.6 million, respectively.

In anticipation that the Company would not be in compliance with one or more of these financial covenants under terms of the Financing Agreement by the second or third quarter of 2016, we advised the Agent. On August 22, 2016, we entered into a Forbearance Agreement with the Agent (the “Forbearance Agreement”).

Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, until the earlier of either the expiration of the Forbearance Period, which is defined to mean the date when all conditions of the agreement have been satisfied, or the Forbearance Termination Date of January 1, 2017, the lenders have agreed not to take any actions, including declaring an event of default or otherwise accelerating the obligations owed under the Financing Agreement, related to our failure solely to comply with the financial covenants for the periods ended June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016. During the Forbearance Period, beginning on July 1, 2016 the PIK interest rate of the outstanding amounts due under the Financing Agreement increased by 3% per annun to 7% per annum. Our monthly cash interest payments remain unchanged at 10% per annum. We are also required to pay all amounts due under the Financing Agreement on or before December 31, 2016. We agreed to pay a forbearance fee of $115,322 together with legal fees of the lender’s counsel not to exceed $25,000.

At September 30, 2016, we had $5.93 million outstanding under the Financing Agreement.

Financing and Security Agreement with Fast Pay Partners, LLC

On September 19, 2016, the Company executed a Financing and Security Agreement dated September 14, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 also dated September 14, 2016 (collectively, the "FastPay Agreement"), with FastPay Partners LLC (“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 receivables. 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 $8.0 million in advances. 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 will be 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 results, 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 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 that all obligations are paid and the payment of an early termination fee.

The initial advance under the FastPay Agreement was approximately $5.5 million and the Company used substantially all of this amount to reduce the obligations outstanding under the Financing Agreement, as amended, with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders.

Preferred Stock

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

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


	·	each share has a stated and liquidation value of $0.001 per share,
	·	the shares do not pay any dividends, except as may be declared by our Board of Directors, and are not redeemable,
	·	the shares do not have any voting rights, except as may be provided under Delaware law,
	·	each share is convertible into 10 shares of our Class A common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution provisions in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events, and
	·	the number of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, as well as the number of shares of Class A common stock issued upon a conversion of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, that a holder may sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (collectively or severally, a "Disposition") at any one time shall be limited to an amount which is pari passu to any Disposition of Class A common stock by either Christopher Miglino and/or Erin DeRuggiero, executive officers and directors of our company. Notwithstanding anything contained in the designations, the holder of Series 1 Preferred Stock is not obligated to make any Dispositions of Series 1 Preferred Stock or Class A common stock issued upon the conversion of Series 1 Preferred Stock.

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

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 259,000,000 shares of common stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will have two classes of common stock: Class A common stock (authorized 250,000,000 shares, par value $0.001), which has one vote per share, and Class B common stock (authorized 9,000,000 shares, par value $0.001), which has ten votes per share. Any holder of Class B common stock may convert his or her shares at any time into shares of Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis. Otherwise the rights of the two classes of common stock are identical. There were no shares of Class B common stock outstanding during either the 2015 or 2016 periods.

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 units were sold at a purchase price of $5.00 per unit resulting in gross proceeds to us of $3.3 million. Each unit consisted of one share of our Class A common stock and one three year Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. We agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days after the final closing in this offering registering for resale the shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants included in the units sold in this offering, together with the shares of our Class A common stock underlying the Placement Agent Warrants. In the event we fail to timely file this resale registration, or at any time thereafter that the prospectus contained in the effective resale registration is not available for the issuance of the shares to the holder upon the exercise of the warrant for a period of at least 60 days following the delivery by us of a suspension notice, then the warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis. T.R. Winston & Company, LLC, a broker-dealer and member of FINRA, acted as placement agent for us in this offering. We paid the placement agent commissions totaling $266,000 and agreed to issue it three year warrants Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 53,200 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. T.R. Winston & Company, LLC has reallocated a portion of the commissions and Placement Agent Warrants to a selected dealer member of the selling group. We also agreed to pay T.R. Winston & Company, LLC a fee of 4% of the proceeds we may receive upon the exercise of the warrants included in the units. We used $2.0 million of the net proceeds received by us in this offering to further reduce our obligations which are outstanding under the Financing Agreement, as amended, with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders. We will use the balance of the proceeds for general working capital.

Overview

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

sales of digital advertising campaigns to advertising agencies and brands;

sales of media inventory through RTB exchanges;

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

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

The core elements of our business are:

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

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

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

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

We offer our customers several pricing options including cost-per-thousand-impression, whereby our customers pay based on the number of times the target audience is exposed to the advertisement, and on a monthly service fee.

In 2015 we completed the technology needed to both operate the buy side of our SRAX platform and the buy side of SRAXmd, and launched our SRAX APP which we expect to begin contributing to our revenues in during the second half of 2016. The SRAX APP is a free platform that provides online publishers an opportunity to distribute their content via a branded mobile application that updates automatically as they publish new content to their website. The platform also allows publishers the opportunity to bring in influencer feeds from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter that are relevant to their content.

During the fourth quarter of 2016 we have continued to enhance all of our technology offerings and expand our sales force. In the fourth quarter of 2016 we launched the SRAX Social platform. The initial response was favorable and we expect to begin actively marketing the offering before the end of the year. Our efforts are focused on the continued growth of our sales and marketing efforts of these platforms, with the goal of eliminating the dependence on revenues from a limited number of customers.

Revenue

The increase in our revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 from the comparable periods in 2015 reflect an increase in revenues from our SRAX buy side and sell side clients and media bought and sold as well as continuing growth in SRAXmd. These increases are offset by a continued decline in revenues from a significant Steel Media customer at significantly reduced margins. In continuation of the trend during the 2016 periods, revenues from this historic Steel Media customer during the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 continued to account for a significant portion of our total revenues during the first nine months of 2016. Early in the third quarter of 2016 we took several actions including hiring of additional sales personnel in an effort to broaden our customer base, internally reallocating our sales resources in an effort to broaden our product offerings to additional buy-side clients and exploring new channels of revenue. During the latter part of the third quarter of 2016 we began to see the effects of these efforts to mitigate the impact of these low margin revenues on our overall operating results. Subsequent to September 30, 2016 we have both expanded our product offerings to our buy-side clients, ceased providing the high-volume, low margin business to this historic Steel Media client and now only offer it industry standard margin solutions. With the growth of our revenues coming from other areas of our business we do not expect that the loss of low-margin revenues from this client will adversely impact our expected overall revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2016.

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 98% of cost of revenue was attributable to payments to website publishers and other media providers for the third quarter of 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to 99% in each of the third quarter of 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The balance was attributable to labor costs and project and application design costs. During the third quarter of 2016 and the nine months then ended our gross margin declined substantially as a result of an increase in our cost of revenue as a percentage of our revenues. Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue increased to 73.8% for the third quarter of 2016 and 67.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to 44.6% and 48.2%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2015. These increases were due to the percentage of our overall lower-margin revenues attributable to the significant Steel Media customer. During the third quarter of 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016 revenues from this customer accounted approximately 24.6% and approximately 30.6%, respectively, of our total revenues. As lower margin sales to this customer are reduced during the fourth quarter of 2016 and into 2017 we expect that our margins will begin to return to historic levels.

Operating expense

Our operating expenses are comprised of salaries, commissions, marketing and general overhead expenses. Overall, our operating expense decreased approximately 1% in both the third quarter of 2016 and the nine months then ended from the comparable periods in 2015. The decrease in the 2016 periods is primarily attributable to reductions in salaries, commissions and payroll expenses which was offset by an impairment of goodwill recorded in the acquisition of Steel Media in the amount of $670,000 during the second quarter of 2016.

We have recently expanded our sales force in conjunction with our efforts to increase our sales on higher margin product offerings. During the fourth quarter of 2016 we also completed the uplisting of our Class A common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market. We expect that our operating expense will increase in future quarters commensurate with the expected growth of our business and increased costs associated with our status as an exchange listed public company.

Other income (expense)

Interest expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 and 2015 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. In addition, interest expense in the 2015 periods also includes the costs associated with the note issued to Mr. Steel as partial consideration for the purchase of Steel Media described elsewhere in this report. Interest expense increased 6.7% for the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015, but decreased 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in interest expense in the third quarter of 2016 is attributable to the higher rate of interest due under the Forbearance Agreement. The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects the satisfaction of the note to Mr. Steel in October 2015, offset by interest associated with increased borrowings under the Financing Agreement during 2015 and the first quarter of 2016. Subsequent to September 30, 2016 we further reduced our obligations under the Financing Agreement and we expect that our overall interest expense during the balance of 2016 will continue to decline as our factoring arrangement significantly reduces our cost of capital.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, write-off of contingent consideration represents the reversal of the second Earn Out Consideration of $3.7 million which Mr. Steel would have been entitled to receive as described elsewhere herein. This non-cash item is considered a one-time occurrence and is not considered part of normal operations.

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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 we also excluded the one-time adjustment related to the reversal of the possible future contingent payment to Mr. Steel for the second year Earn Out Consideration as described elsewhere herein, together with an impairment in a portion of the carrying value of the goodwill for Steel Media which we recorded in conjunction with our acquisition of that company in 2014. We believe the presentation of Adjusted net (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA enhances our investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of our business.

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

Liquidity and capital resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. We had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2016 of $13.0 million. As of September 30, 2016, we had approximately $4.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $9.4 million as compared to $1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $7.04 million at December 31, 2015. Our current assets increased 4.4% at September 30, 2016 as compared to December 31, 2015 which is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable as a result of our factoring arrangement offset by an increase in cash. Our current liabilities increased 17.9% at September 30, 2016 as compared to December 31, 2015 which is primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to increased cost of sales due on higher revenue and the reclassification of notes payable, net from long-term liabilities to current liabilities as a result of the accelerated due date under the Forbearance Agreement described below, together with additional borrowings during 2016 under the Financing Agreement and scheduled increases in payment under the terms of the agreement. These increases were offset by the decrease in contingent consideration, which represents the payment of the first year Earn Out Consideration Mr. Steel in January 2016 and the reversal of the accrual for the second year Earn Out Consideration as described elsewhere herein.

Our principal sources of operating capital have historically been equity and debt financing. During the fourth quarter of 2014 we entered into the Financing Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders which is elsewhere herein. The Financing Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $20 million. Our obligations to Victory Park Management, LLC are secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in substantially all of our assets (other than accounts receivable), including those of our subsidiaries, and a pledge of 100% of the equity interests of each of our domestic subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of a Pledge and Security Agreement. As of September 30, 2016, we owed $5.1 under the Financing Agreement.

The terms of the Financing Agreement require us to maintain certain financial covenants, including leverage ratios, senior leverage ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios, interest coverage ratios and minimum current ratios. We are not in compliance with these ratios and in August 2016 we entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, until the earlier of either the expiration of the Forbearance Period, which is defined to mean the date when all conditions of the agreement have been satisfied, or the Forbearance Termination Date of January 1, 2017, the lenders and Victory Park Management, LLC have agreed not to take any actions, including declaring an event of default or otherwise accelerating the obligations owed under the Financing Agreement, related to our failure solely to comply with the financial covenants for the periods ended June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016. During the Forbearance Period, beginning on July 1, 2016 the PIK interest rate of the outstanding amounts due under the Financing Agreement increased by 3% per annun to 7% per annum. Our monthly cash interest payments remain unchanged at 10% per annum. In September 2016, we reduced our obligations under the Financing Agreement by $5.3 million through the allocation of the initial amounts drawn under the factoring agreement described below and utilizing a portion of the proceeds of the sale of our securities as hereinafter described. At November 1, 2016, the remaining balance under the Financing Agreement is approximately $4 million. We are required to pay all amounts due under the Financing Agreement on or before December 31, 2016.

The initial net effect of the required payments under the Financing Agreement was anticipated to equal the majority of the cash flow generated from Steel Media’s operations. As a result of the decline in margins to a certain buy-side client discussed elsewhere herein, cash flow from Steel Media's operations has significantly declined which is requiring us to allocate cash flow from other operations to satisfy these required payments under the Financing Agreement. This reallocation of cash, combined with the reduction in margins on certain of the historic Steel Media clients, adversely impacted our cash flow. During the third quarter of 2016 we entered into the Financing and Security Agreement with Fast Pay as described Note 3 to the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein. Under this factoring line, which is secured by a first position security interest in our accounts receivable, we may sell and assign eligible accounts receivable to the factor in exchange for advances made to us.

In addition, in September 2016 and October 2016 we received $4.6 million in gross proceeds through the sale of our equity securities as described elsewhere in this report. We used $2.0 million of the net proceeds from the closing in September 2016 to further reduce our obligations under the Financing Agreement, and are using the balance of the proceeds for working capital.

We do not have any commitments for capital expenditures.

Other than cash generated from operations and the unused availability under the Fast Pay agreement, we do not have any external sources of liquidity. While the Financing Agreement provides that we can borrow up to $20.0 million, based upon our non-compliance with the financial ratios and the accelerated due date of the obligation to December 31, 2016, we do not expect that the lender will consent to any additional draws under the Financing Agreement. In additional, this obligation matures on December 31, 2016. We are exploring a number of options related to this obligation, including refinancing with a third party, raising additional capital, utilizing availability under the factoring line, or a combination of any of these options. If we should fail to pay the obligation, or extend the due date, an event of default would occur. Upon an event of default under the Financing Agreement, if we were unable to cure the default within the prescribed periods, if at all, the lender could increase our interest rates or accelerate all amounts then due. If we were unable to repay these obligations, the lender could foreclose on our assets and collateral, in which case our ability to continue our business and operations as then conducted would be in jeopardy. If the lender should foreclose on our assets, it is likely you would lose your entire investment in our company.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $867,122 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $(1.1 million) for the comparable period in 2015. The period to period change was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.2 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $6.4 million, and a decrease in amortization of debt issue costs (non-cash) of $816,704.

Net Cash Provided Used in Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 net cash used in investing activities was $4,816 as compared to $30,657 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In both periods cash used was associated with the purchase of equipment.

Net Cash Provided Used by Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 net cash used by financing activities was $2.3 million which represented the proceeds from the sale of securities and draws under the Financing Agreement, net of costs and repayments and the cash portion of the payment to Mr. Steel of the first year Earn Out Consideration. During the comparable period in 2015, we were provided $344,402 of cash in financing activities which is primarily attributable to a $1.5 million draw in July 2015 from Victory Park under the Financing Agreement.

Critical accounting policies

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

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. During the first quarter of 2016 we engaged a full-time Chief Financial Officer. We expect to remediate all material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting prior to the end of 2016.

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

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, subject to the new or modified risk factors appearing below that should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in such Form 10-K. These cautionary statements are to be used as a reference in connection with any forward-looking statements. The factors, risks and uncertainties identified in these cautionary statements are in addition to those contained in any other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or otherwise addressed in connection with a forward-looking statement or contained in any of our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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

Our debt obligations currently include notes issued under the Financing Agreement and there is an aggregate principal amount of $4 million outstanding at November 1, 2016. These notes mature on December 31, 2016. While we are exploring a number of options related to this obligation, including refinancing with a third party, raising additional capital, utilizing availability under the factoring line, or a combination of any of these options, if we should fail to pay the obligation, or extend the due date, an event of default would occur. Upon an event of default under the Financing Agreement, if we were unable to cure the default within the prescribed periods, if at all, the lender could increase our interest rates or accelerate all amounts then due. If we were unable to repay these obligations, the lender could foreclose on our assets and collateral, in which case our ability to continue our business and operations as then conducted would be in jeopardy. If the lender should foreclose on our assets, it is likely you would lose your entire investment in our company.

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

The terms of the Financing Agreement include ongoing requirements to, among other actions, meet financial covenants including minimum leverage and current ratios, and interest and fixed charge coverages. In August 2016, we entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC related to our failure to meet certain financial covenants at June 30, 2016. We do not expect to regain compliance with those financial covenants until the end of the forbearance period which is December 31, 2016. The terms of the Financing Agreement also create restrictions on how we undertake certain future events and our failure to conduct our business within the confines of these contractual restrictions could result in an event of default under the Financing Agreement. Upon default, remedies range from notice and cure, to acceleration of both principal and interest. Our operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable us to service our debt. Upon an event of default under the Financing Agreement, if we were unable to cure the default within the prescribed periods, if at all, the lender could increase our interest rates or accelerate all amounts then due. If we were unable to repay these obligations, the lender could foreclose on our assets, in which case our ability to continue our business and operations as then conducted would be in jeopardy. If the lender should foreclose on our assets, we would be unable to continue our business and operations as they are presently conducted and it is likely you would lose your entire investment in our company.

Since our acquisition of Steel Media in October 2014, we have become dependent on revenues from a limited number of customers. The decline in total revenues from a principal customer, or a change in margins from this customer, will adversely impact our results of operations in future periods so long as revenues from this customer represent a material portion of our total revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 revenues for one customer accounted for 49% of our total revenues. For 2015 revenues from this customer accounted for 48% of our total revenues and at December 31, 2015, this customer accounted for 38% of our accounts receivable. While we have continued reporting revenues from this customer in the first nine months of 2016, a significant portion of sales to this customer have been made a significantly lower margins as a result of a change in the type of sales being generated. In an effort to mitigate the impact of these low margin revenues from this one customer, during the third quarter of 2016 undertook several actions including hiring of additional sales personnel in an effort to broaden our customer base, internally reallocating our sales resources in an effort to broaden our product offerings to additional buy-side clients and exploring new channels of revenue. Subsequent to September 30, 2016 we have also ceased high-volume, low margin business from this client and are only providing industry standard margin solutions going forward. Until such time, however, as we are successful in returning our overall gross margins to hear historic levels, continuing sales to this customer at the significantly lower margin level could have material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows in future periods.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

In addition to issuances previously disclosed, subsequent to the period covered by this report on October 31, 2016 we sold an aggregate of 255,000 units of its securities to nine accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. The units were sold at a purchase price of $5.00 per unit resulting in gross proceeds to us of $1.3 million. This was the final closing of a private placement commenced in September 2016. Each unit consisted of one share of our Class A common stock and one three year Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. We agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days after the final closing in this offering registering for resale the shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants included in the units sold in this offering, together with the shares of our Class A common stock underlying the Placement Agent Warrants. In the event we fail to timely file this resale registration, or at any time thereafter that the prospectus contained in the effective resale registration is not available for the issuance of the shares to the holder upon the exercise of the warrant for a period of at least 60 days following the delivery by us of a suspension notice, then the warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis.
